Emily is a success coach and the author of the new book: I Heart My Life. Emily teaches women to examine their mindset around money and to do away with the limits we so often put on ourselves.

In this episode, we’re getting vulnerable and sharing our money stories with you.

This is not always an easy topic to discuss publicly, yet we need to start having these conversations in order to remove some of our collective shame about money—shame that is not helping any of us, particularly women.

Going back to our memories of childhood, we share some of the difficult circumstances tha...

On this re-released episode of the Soulful MBA podcast, we talk about a slightly controversial topic—the value of a wife. We touch on several articles we’ve read recently about the economic benefits for men who have a wife at home (or at least in a position where she is still primarily responsible for childcare and the emotional labor that takes place in families).

As feminists and entrepreneurs, we...

During this episode, they debunk this passivity myth and discuss why it is so import...

Far too often business owners either fear or dread looking at the numbers or simply find it impersonal and boring. This is not an empowering way to approach your financials and does not have to be the case!

Looking at the numbers can become a sacred monthly ritual where you take time to pause and reflect on all that you have accomplished and where you have room to improve. If this sounds like something you’d like to incorp...

In this episode, where we dig into everything you need to know about profit and loss statements.

In today’s episode, we are talking all about in-person gatherings and the powerful effects they can have on your online business.

Attending live events can often seem like a hassle, but because a...

This episode of our show was inspired by a recent blog post by Seth Godin, titled “What Do You Own?”

Today’s economy is rapidly shifting. The old capitalist model of going to school, getting into college, and settling down into one job for the rest of your life – is almost non-existent. There are very few jobs out there today that can provide an absolute sense of security.This is why we believe that everyone should be an e...

As we move into Fall, we honestly cannot wait to get down to more serious work and slide right back into high productivity mode. This is traditionally the busiest time of year for us.

It's the season for more work and there is literally no better time to get down to launching your first, or you...
