Ep 46 - Running your Business like a Sports Team

Season #1

This episode is the medicine so many women in business don’t even realize they’re missing.

Because when you stop treating your business like a mood…
and start treating it like an athlete treats their craft…
your entire world shifts.

Your standards rise.
Your confidence stabilizes.
Your results become predictable.
And you stop collapsing every time life hands you a moment.

This is the conversation that changed me — through grief, postpartum, big moves, and every season where I should’velost momentum but didn’t.
Because I stopped personalizing everything and I started leading like a woman who was here to win.

Inside, I’m sharing:

  • Why consistency isn’t about motivation — it’s about identity
  • How I stayed anchored through some of the hardest seasons of my life
  • The “athlete mindset” that makes business feel lighter, not harder
  • Feedback as the secret skill no one is using enough
  • What it actually takes to hold more money, more clients, more visibility
  • The truth about commitment most entrepreneurs don’t want to admit

If you’re ready to rise into the version of you who doesn’t negotiate with her dreams.. this one is for you.

 

I also have a personal invitation just for you…

As a thank you for being here and growing with me, I’m hosting a free birthday community event on December 11th and I would love for you to be in the room.

I’m walking you through my exact end-of-year Wealth Mapping Process — the same one I use to set up my income, my clarity, and my life for the year ahead.

If you want 2026 to feel intentional, grounded, and wealthy… this is where it begins.
