Simple Online Business: Business Strategy for Moms

If you’ve ever wondered how getting results from coaching actually works - or if you’re a coach who wants to help your clients create real results - this episode breaks down what actually makes the difference.

We’re talking about the three ingredients that determine whether or not coaching turns into momentum, progress, and tangible results (and, of course, what can slow you down).

You’ll learn:

It’s one of the scariest moments in business: when you start questioning everything.

Your offers. Your message. Your plan. Whether you even want to keep going.

If you’ve ever had that “maybe it’s all wrong” feeling - the mix of panic, doubt, and confusion - this episode is for you. I’m breaking down why this happens (spoiler: it’s totally normal), what it actually means, and how to navigate it without burning everything down or makin...

If you’ve been in a funk with marketing (uninspired, confused, overwhelmed by everyone’s content - and now AI all over the place), I'm with you. There’s so much noise out there that it’s easy to lose your footing and wonder how your work is supposed to stand out.

In this episode, I share what shifted for me recently - after sitting back, studying what’s actually working, paying attention to the larger marketing world ...

What if the thing you’re avoiding is exactly what would move your business forward?

You know the one. That idea sitting quietly in the back of your brain — the pitch you’ve been meaning to send, the offer you’ve been waiting to make, the investment you keep circling. Not because it’s a “should,” but because deep down, you know it’s the next right move. And yet, you’re avoiding it. In this episode, we’re talking about when you know t...

AI might feel like a magic wand for your business — spitting out contracts, naming your next offer, generating “done-for-you” content in seconds. But what if the tool that’s saving you time is quietly putting your business at risk?

In this episode, I’m joined by attorney and online business legal expert Sarah Waldbuesser for a real-talk conversation about the legal side of AI. From copyright laws that haven’t caught up to the tech, ...

If you’ve been watching other business owners post big, shiny revenue numbers — but you’re not seeing anyone talk about profit — it’s time for a reality check.

The numbers that actually matter in your business aren’t always the ones people share on social media. In this episode, I talk about what it really takes to build and keep a profitable online business — without overcomplicating it or overspending on things you don’t need.

You don’t need a complicated offer suite or ten different projects in motion to grow a thriving business. In fact, that might be exactly what’s slowing you down.

In this episode, I’m talking about a strategy that has helped both me and my clients create real momentum: focusing on ONE thing at a time. Whether it’s your business, your core offer, or your marketing strategy — narrowing your focus can be the exact move that unlocks the ...

Today, I'm sharing a timeless business strategy inspired by a very retro piece of office equipment (you have to listen to find out what!).

In this episode, I break down a missing piece of your marketing strategy — one that’s quick, easy, and repeatable, and can yield results for years. It's all about genuine, human connection. You’ll walk away with practical ideas you can use today, plus a simple system to stay connected c...

Ever feel like you’re letting your business down? Or think things like “I’m a bad business owner” and “maybe I’m not cut out for this”?

This episode is about the guilt that creeps in when you haven’t worked on your business as much (or as perfectly) as you think you should. I’m diving into why that feeling shows up, what it usually means, and how to rebuild your momentum without all the judgment and pressure.

You’ll hear what I see b...

What if one of the easiest ways to create more clients this year wasn’t launching something new or overhauling your marketing... but simply getting in the habit of following up?

In this episode, I’m breaking down how not following up might be quietly costing you money — and why following up (when done right) is actually one of the most respectful, professional things you can do for your business. If the idea of following up feels aw...

What if selling didn’t feel icky… and actually felt like you were helping?

If you’ve ever thought there must be a secret to making marketing feel easy, I get it — but the real secret is this: marketing is work. It’s a puzzle that you learn to solve, and then re-solve, every time the pieces shift.

In today’s episode, I’m challenging the idea that you’re “bad” at marketing and showing you what actually matters more than any strategy, trend, or tool. We’ll talk about how understanding human behavior changes e...

If it feels like you’re doing everything in your business but still not getting the clients you want — this episode is for you.

Because there’s a good chance you’re spending too much time on the wrong type of marketing (the comfortable kind) and not enough on the type that actually moves the needle. Today, we’re talking about the two streams of marketing you need to grow your business - and how most business owners tend to lean too ...

What if the reason something didn’t work wasn’t because you didn’t try hard enough—but because it wasn't the right fit for you in the first place? 

We’ve all heard the advice: “All strategies work—you just have to commit.” I used to believe it myself! But after years of coaching, investing, and watching what actually happens in real businesses (including my own), I’ve changed my mind.

The truth is: not all strategies will work f...

I have a full plate—and if you're anything like me, that’s kind of how you like it. Until suddenly, you don’t. In this episode, I’m talking about how I manage running a business, raising three kids, keeping up with a volunteer role that might as well be a second job, and still somehow remembering to moisturize.

Instead of pushing through with willpower or pretending I’m a productivity robot, I’ve learned how to work with myself...

You know what’s actually wasting your time? Worrying about wasting time.

It’s a sneaky little trap. You tell yourself you need to be more efficient. You overanalyze every decision. You hesitate to take action unless you’re sure it’ll work. And before you know it? You’ve spent hours (or days… or months) thinking about what to do instead of just doing it. 

This is the time wasting cycle. And it’s sneaky—because it feels productive. But...

Have you ever found yourself frustrated that something in your business feels harder than it should? Maybe it’s marketing, selling, setting boundaries, or just keeping up—and you catch yourself thinking, Why is this so difficult for me when it seems so easy for everyone else? If so, you’re not alone. This is one of the most common thoughts my clients have. And the worst part? The more you believe it should be easier, the harder it ...

If you’ve ever had a slow period in business and immediately thought, Maybe I should just get a real job, you’re not alone.

Your business can actually be the most stable thing in your life... once you learn how to plan for the normal ups and downs that every business experien...

Failure isn’t the opposite of success—it’s part of it. Every successful business owner has a long list of things they tried that didn't work. But instead of letting those failures stop them, they used them as stepping stones to get better, refine their strategy, and ultimately build something that works. If you’ve been playing it safe in your business because you’re afraid of failing, this episode is your permission slip to me...
