If you're balancing a full-time job and building a business, this episode is about to bless you! Today, I’m pulling back the curtain and sharing the exact systems and tools I use to keep my brand running smoothly — even while working my 9-5 and chasing my little one around.
I'm diving into the behind-the-scenes structure that helps me stay consistent, organized, and sane as a side-hustling entrepreneur. From content creation and client management to email marketing and finances — I’m giving you the real rundown.
In this episode, we cover:
- My favorite tool for email marketing and building my community (hello, Flodesk!)
- How I manage clients, contracts, invoices, and proposals all in one place using HoneyBook
- The recording and hosting tools I use to keep my podcast workflow simple
- The content creation apps that save me HOURS every week
- Automation tools that help me run my business while I’m at work (or sleeping!)
- How I track my business finances without drowning in receipts
- Plus — the website platform I swear by for building beautiful, functional sites (even if you're not tech-savvy)
If you've been feeling overwhelmed trying to “do it all,” this episode will show you how the right systems can change everything — without needing a big team or endless hours at your desk.

Boysober
Have you ever wondered what life might be like if you stopped worrying about being wanted, and focused on understanding what you actually want? That was the question Hope Woodard asked herself after a string of situationships inspired her to take a break from sex and dating. She went "boysober," a personal concept that sparked a global movement among women looking to prioritize themselves over men. Now, Hope is looking to expand the ways we explore our relationship to relationships. Taking a bold, unfiltered look into modern love, romance, and self-discovery, Boysober will dive into messy stories about dating, sex, love, friendship, and breaking generational patterns—all with humor, vulnerability, and a fresh perspective.
