Coffee Chat Take 1: You’re Not Behind—You’re Building Without Support

Welcome to the very first Coffee Chat Take! These new, bite-sized episodes are my way of staying connected with you in between the full-length episodes you’re used to. They’re short, informal, and straight from the heart. Like a quick voice note from a friend who gets it!

In this first one, I’m sharing why I decided to start this series and offering a reminder that I know someone out there needs to hear:

You’re not behind. You’re just building without the right support.

If your business feels heavy, scattered, or like you’re always playing catch-up… it’s not a personal failure. It’s just time to build with more clarity, structure, and ease.

These mini episodes are designed to give you a quick reset, a moment to pause, reflect, and take a breath before diving back into the day.

Press play for today's 4-minute dose of encouragement! And if it resonates, share it with someone who might need the same reminder.

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:01):
Well, I would like to welcome you to the very first
Coffee Chat.
Take my name is Shannon Baker.
I'm the host of the Mind yourTime podcast.
Now, if you've been listeningfor a while then you know four
episodes are currently beingpublished every other week, and
lately I've been wondering howto stay connected with you in
between those episodes withoutthe heavy lift that comes from

(00:22):
creating an entire episode.
So, after thinking about it andtalking to a few of you in
other spaces, I decided to tryout shorter episodes that will
just be five to 10 minutes longand I would share what's going
on in my world or conversationsI have with my clients and
members of the Mighty SocietySystems Insanity Suite.
So the topics are going to vary, from mindset to tech tool

(00:45):
updates, maybe a system insightor something happening behind
the scenes in my own businessthat I think can help you grow
with more intention.
These episodes, they're notgoing to be tutorials or
lectures.
They're going to be veryinformal, like we're having a
coffee chat, because businessisn't just about strategy.
We know it's mental, it'semotional and it's deeply

(01:05):
personal too.
So let's kick things off with areminder that I think more of
us need to hear.
You are not behind, my friend.
You're just building withoutthe support you need.
And I'm not just talking aboutsupport from people or your team
members.
I mean the support structurethat you need within your
business, things like clarity,routines, having boundaries and

(01:29):
yes systems, the pieces thatallow you to grow without
burning yourself out or secondguessing every move that you
make.
Because when you're constantlyin reaction mode because you're
chasing money, have overlappingdeadlines, you've missed
deadlines, you're rewriting thesame emails or you're constantly
jumping from one task to thenext, it's very easy to feel

(01:50):
like something must be wrongwith you.
But, my friend, it's not you.
It's the way you've been tryingto hold everything together on
your own, and if that's whereyou are right now, I totally get
it, because I've been there too.
That's another reason that Idecided to do these quick
episodes.
It's to give you space tobreathe, to take a moment to

(02:11):
reflect, or it may just be thegentle nudge that you need to
help you see, it's time to builda business that actually
supports the life that you wantand get off the hustle bus.
So, if today's message has youshaking your head, yes, take a
minute to think about what kindof support do you really need
right now.
Is it time, is it space, is itstrategy or is it just?

(02:35):
You need encouragement.
But you don't have to figure itall out today or on your own.
But you do deserve to stopfeeling like you're drowning in
your business, and if you wantsupport making those shifts, the
doors to the Mighty SocietySystems Insanity Suite are
always open and I would love tosee you inside.
Or you can simply book a powerin motion jumpstart session and

(02:59):
we can get you back on solidground.
But for now, I want you to viewthis coffee chat talk as your
reminder.
You're not behind, you're justready for a better way forward.
So I'll see you back here nextweek for our regularly scheduled
episode, and in two weeks we'llhave another coffee chat tape.
Now, if there's something inparticular that you would like

(03:21):
for me to talk about duringthese chats, please feel free to
DM me on Instagram, at theunderscore Shannon Baker, or at
Mind, your Time Podcast.
I'd love to hear from you.
So that's your coffee chat takefor today no pressure, just
progress.
So I'll see you next time.
