In this episode, I talked about the sixth step of the Accountability Code—feedback, which is all about using past experiences to make better choices moving forward. I shared a personal story from my upcoming book Becoming Boss Minded called The Art of Saying No, where I learned the hard way that helping too much can lead to burnout. I explained how saying yes too often, even with good intentions, can hurt your mental health and rel...

In this episode, I talked about the fifth step of the accountability code, commitment—and how it’s different from just taking action or implementing ideas. Implementing is when you practice or try something, like brainstorming or writing, but commitment is when you actually finish the task and can prove it’s done. I shared how one of my clients struggled with staying consistent on social media after a group challenge ended, and we ...

In this episode, I talked about implementing, the fourth step of the Accountability Code. It comes after reflection, humility, and planning. Implementing means taking action on what matters to you, even if it's not perfect. Many people make plans but never follow through, so I reminded everyone to just start, even if it’s messy.

I also shared a personal story about learning to share responsibilities at home. I couldn’t do it all...

In this episode, I talked about planning as the third step in the Accountability Code, right after reflection and humility. Planning isn’t just writing stuff down, it’s about creating a meaningful roadmap that actually helps you succeed. I shared how putting “tennis friends” on my vision board led to real friendships just by showing up and being open.

I also broke down different types of planning, yearly, quarterly, monthly, weekly,...

In this podcast, Elora Hill reflects on her journey with humility, sharing how negative past experiences at a toxic workplace made her initially resistant to feedback. The Accountability Accelerator program helped her shift her mindset, viewing humility as honest self-awareness rather than weakness. Now, as a mom, Elora focuses on what she can do within her limited time, reducing stress and working with more intention. This transfo...

In this episode, I talk about the role of reflection in the accountability code, sharing a personal story from my book, Doubt Yourself No More. I reflect on trying out for cheerleading in high school, initially to prove a point, but later realizing how reflection evolves when you take action. I explain that reflection is about thinking through your goals, values, and challenges, and as you act on them, your reflection changes, help...

In this episode, I share how to set a clear eight-week goal using the Accountability Code, a framework designed to help you take action. Many people struggle with defining their focus, so I walk through six key steps: reflection (identifying your goal), humility (recognizing what’s holding you back), planning (creating a roadmap), implementing (taking action), commitment (declaring your goal), and feedback (evaluating progress). Th...

In this episode, I talked about accountability and why traditional plans don’t always work. I shared personal experiences, like writing my book and learning to adjust plans to fit my own needs. I also highlighted stories from my clients, like Kim, who successfully hosted events by adapting the accountability code, and Susan, who realized she needed to trust herself more to improve her business. The key takeaway is that being accoun...

Hey guys! This is a bonus episode because I forgot to plan for my free webinar on March 11th at noon Eastern Time, and I don’t want you to miss it! It’s all about accountability—why it’s the key to success and how to make it work for you.

In this episode, I talk about the downside of "waking up too much"—overthinking, overanalyzing, and consuming too much information without taking action. Just like showing up too much can be unbalanced, constantly planning and reflecting without implementing can keep us stuck. I share examples of how this happens and explain that real growth comes when we take action, even if it’s imperfect.

I also emphasize the importance...

In this episode of Your Loving Kick in the Pants, I dive into the difference between waking up and showing up. Lately, I’ve been networking and seeing firsthand how people take action when they truly understand accountability. But I’ve also noticed that many people overdo one side—either constantly staying busy and overwhelmed or spending too much time thinking without acting. If you’re exhausted and struggling to keep up, you migh...

In this episode, I talk about the importance of honesty in the accountability code. Without honesty, real change and growth aren’t possible. I share personal stories about how dishonesty can show up in small ways, like making excuses or setting unrealistic goals. Being truthful with yourself brings clarity, peace, and happiness.

I break down key steps, including self-reflection, dropping the ego, setting realistic goals, taking acti...

In this episode, I talk about the mix of nervousness and excitement that comes with growth, especially in business. As I prepare for a big speaking event, I reflect on how these feelings are a sign of change and progress. I encourage my listeners to embrace them rather than avoid them. Through my Accountability Accelerator, I help people push past fear by setting goals and having someone hold them accountable, which can be both sca...

I just got back from an amazing retreat where a group of women came together to support each other, grow their businesses, and build real friendships. We planned content, shared our journeys, and celebrated big wins. Many talked about how this community has helped them gain confidence, find success, and connect with like-minded people.

This retreat wasn’t just about business—it was about encouragement, breakthroughs, and having fun...

In this episode, I share how being on a cruise ship has given me the space to focus on writing my book, Becoming Boss Minded. Surrounded by other marketers, I’ve been reminded how easy it is to feel pressured to do everything people suggest for success. Instead, I reflect on a lesson from my mentor called "hand in the sand," which is about focusing on a few key priorities and letting go of the rest.


I discuss how taking on too man...
