STRATEGY SYSTEMS STRUCTURE

I was conversing the other day with a client and she asked me if she was the only one whose emotions waffled as much as hers.

And the answer was NO!

None of us are robots, even though the chatter and obsession around AI might be telling us differently. 

You’re human and your emotions will fluctuate from day to day if not from hour to hour.

In my groups, we call those down times “being under the covers.” Which gives everyone permission to feel the way they need to feel at that exact moment.

In this week’s episode of The Power of the Pivot podcast, I talk about those ups and downs and why now is a good time to reevaluate your intentions.

There’s always a lot of pressure surrounding those first-of-the-year aspirations or goals. Yet, you and I both know that 9 times out of 10, those ideas or dreams fall flat.

The reason why they do is because they are just words or ideas on a page. They lack a plan and...

In a recent Shopify survey of 1532 parents (62% = mothers), one in six indicated that they are very interested in entrepreneurship.

That’s a lot of women running around like a chicken with their heads cut off. A.K.A. not knowing how or where to start.

If I was in a room with them, I would encourage each and every one of them to start by using free resources like LinkedIn.

In this episode of Get Your Shit Together, I share the value of LinkedIn and why it’s not just a place for professionals. I also share a success story of a client who updated her LinkedIn profile and received two paid consulting gigs within 48 hours. This transformation proves the value of the platform. 

LinkedIn is not just a place to share your resume. It’s also a place to virtually network, highlight your backstory, upload your offers, programs, and services, and get your people to “recommend” you which is no different than a testimonial or case study on one’s website.

If...

In my community, the topic of “self-love” comes up a lot.

As women of what I like to call the “what’s next generation,” who crave life beyond ambition, struggle to feel worthy and deserving of this. These feelings of not being enough didn’t just pop up out of nowhere. 

They have been buried for a long time. Due to certain life circumstances; empty nesting, change in relationship status(divorce/death), and or examining one’s legacy and the “what’s my purpose” question - women our age are in a state of rediscovering who they are.

In this week’s episode, I talk to Gina Leago, an x-trial lawyer, turned spiritual psychologist, who shares her story of trauma, resilience, and the importance of self-love. She dives deep into examining our triggers, and identifying them so everyone has a chance to move toward healing and growth. 

As moms, daughters, sisters, and strong women,...

Are you convinced that your offer, product, or services are the end all be all? But for some reason, no one is buying what you are selling.

Good news! You are not alone!

How you convey your messaging will be the difference between building a 5-figure business and a 7-figure business.


As a solopreneur and a one-woman show, uncovering that secret sauce can be challenging. And in my experience, it doesn't really start to happen and come alive until you commit to investing in yourself. Either by hiring a coach, joining a mastermind, or surrounding yourself with people who want what you want.

That investment can be a scary and daunting one. I can still remember the first time I plopped down a few K to get the help I needed.


It was uncomfortable until I started seeing and feeling the transformation. That was "game over." Everything shifted from that moment on.


If you are not quite there yet, today's episode offers 5 tips to not only help you reframe your messaging but will also show you...

Fun fact;  most women over 70 don’t feel old.

I do believe that that is a testament to how valuable, knowledgeable, and strong you actually are.


As a woman who is part of the what’s next generation and seeking life beyond ambition, starting over or starting something new is never easy.

It takes time, patience, and most importantly, the willingness to see it through the highs and the lows. 

Being bold and having the confidence to say I am going to launch the business, the product, or the service is the first step. Building and executing it is a whole different set of challenges.


And because of that, most of these highly creative, educated, and industrious women are putting their trust in others to carry out their dreams. 

In this week’s episode of Get Your Shit Together, I am sharing with you the importance of tapping into your gut so that you can trust yourself before trusting others. 


Learning to do the “thing” which can be as...

The top three ingredients for building a business in your 50s are:


curiosity
tenacity
fearlessness


That's the exact recipe Stacy Valner used to start a brand new business, from scratch at the age of 55.


Stacy is a mother of four, wife, founder of PHASE ONE, a non-profit dedicated to supporting ground-breaking Phase I + Phase II clinical cancer research, and now entrepreneur and CEO of the luxury brand, Meadow.


Over the past 20+ years, Stacy has filled her cup by raising millions of dollars through her foundation. It gave her a sense of purpose and it's where she learned to build her support system.


But when her 4th child left for college she got a little antsy. She was craving something new and maybe even a bit more feminine, creative, and pretty.


Sound familiar?


Then March 2020 happened and her "empty nesting" travel plans were no longer an option.


She was missing the luxuries that only a hotel room can bring and thought to herself, how can I bring that feeling into my home?


So, her...

Women in their 50s are coming to terms with their mortality, and their legacy, and thinking about “what do I want to be when I grow up?”


Have you ever found yourself uttering these words inside your head:


What's truly in my heart?
What's my purpose?
Is there more for me?
What's next, if in fact anything?


So many of you have made decisions that didn’t always put you first. And because of that, you are redefining life as you knew it. 

And because of that, you are feeling a bit stuck, maybe a little lost, and questioning if is there Life Beyond Ambition.

If you are at a crossroads and struggling with your life’s purpose, today's episode is for you. 

I will be sharing with you how to identify your inner voice, share what you already know, and how you can monetize your mission. 

Being a part of this exclusive club, what I like to call “the what’s next generation,” is a special place to be. You have raised...

Reidentification at any age is hard. But for those of us in our 50s and beyond, your regret can sometimes stop you from becoming your best possible self.

Have you ever felt this way?

However, there are those rare times when someone walks into your life and reminds you that it's never too late to tap into your zone of genius.

My client, Andrea Daniels, CEO of Brightside Referrals, found her lane over 12 years ago and has been tapping into her niche ever since.

In this week's episode, we sat down and talked about how asking for a little help (from me) changed her perspective and why there is no better time than now (in her 50s) to scale and grow her business.

As a senior care placement specialist, she will walk you through the process and demystifies what senior living actually is. Her job as a problem solver is to look for ways to find solutions for the next phase of one's life.

You will hear how she and I collaborated in a creative way to take her business to the next...

Do you find that it's so much easier to talk yourself into all the things that you didn't do rather than reflect on the little actions you did do?

The constant noise and conversations in your head can get the best of you.

But this past year, surviving brain cancer, hip replacement surgery, pivots in my business, and tiny failures, I made a choice to work on changing that narrative.

I started with an exercise that I give to my clients and also share on my website (for free). However, because I had already spent the month of December outlining my intentions for 2023, instead I took some time to reflect on "what was" over the past year.

Here's what I uncovered:

survived brain surgery and am currently cancer free,

 rebranded and got clear on where I want my focus to be

 committed to a 4-day work week

 automated my services, programs, and website, and am mastering the art of passive income

 learned to be okay with receiving and asking...

Want to work and collaborate together, {{ first_name }}, in 2023?

I know you have big dreams for the coming year and my question to you is, have you started building that roadmap yet?


If the answer is NO, I have an inkling as to why...

...you're already overwhelmed at the thought of it
...burnout in 2022 has been so profound that you are questioning "is it worth it"
...you doubt that you have the confidence or the bandwidth to endure another year

I get it! I get it because those that I am already collaborating with a feel all of the above and so much more. And to be totally transparent, there were moments in 2022 when I felt it in a huge way. 

The truth is, {{ first_name }}, building a business and the life that you want (and deserve) in your  50's(and 60's) doesn't have to SUCK!

There's a way to do it without feeling so isolated and alone. The past two + years have amplified the loneliness and one of the ways...
