When Covid hit, lockdowns forced my workshopping business to go on pause for a while… it was then that I began coaching full-time.

I knew that I loved to coach, but I was scared to take it full time because I felt like I didn’t have enough experience and that people would judge me. I had imposter syndrome bad, but I could also see that women were getting results from my coaching, causing me to step out of my fear and pursue it. I ended up selling my other business, and, three years later, I have the most incredible team and clients.

I had never thought that I’d be a business coach... but now I can’t imagine doing anything else!

What's the best piece of advice you received from a mentor and why?

Do one thing and do it well.

What does your morning routine look like?

I’m an early riser and my fiancé owns a gym, so we are always up early, at roughly 4:30am, to hit the gym for a workout, head home to grab our fur-baby for a walk, and drink our coffees.

Then I come home, read ten pages of a book, write in my gratitude journal, add to my to-do list, and get my day started!

It’s important to me to spend quality time outdoors with my loved ones each morning in order to get in the headspace for a kick-ass day.

3. Time-blocking my calendar and having a set weekly structure ensures that I can get everything done while also getting enough “me time.” I make sure to prioritize thinking, learning & growing each week in addition to making time for my team, clients, and projects. There’s a beautiful saying, that structure creates freedom, and, because I set times to get things done during the day, I no longer at nights or during weekends. In fact, I only work three full days per week.

It's so awesome that you have a podcast! Name three people that you would love to interview and why.

My podcast is relatively new but I love podcasting so much. My dream guests would be Tim Ferris, Emma Issacs, and Amanda Frances for sure!

What can our audience look out for? Any exciting news or fun episodes coming up that you would like to share?

We have so many exciting episodes coming up, but, if you’re in the online world - or maybe you’re pivoting - we have an episode coming up about building and scaling your online community and what it really takes to grow a million-dollar business!
