Let’s be honest—what got you here probably won’t get you there.

This episode is really personal. I’m sharing a recent experience that completely shifted the trajectory of my life and business—and it all started with something I never expected to be powerful: stillness.

In a world that constantly tells us to hustle, push, and make things happen, I was invited (in a very real and divine way) to wait. To not act. To stand still and see. And let me tell you—it wasn’t easy.But in that stillness, some...

I just got back from Mexico, and let’s just say—I had a lot of time to reflect on what’s working (and what’s not) in my business. One thing that kept coming up? How easy it is for entrepreneurs to get stuck in the weeds instead of actually stepping into their role as CEO.

If you’re anything like me, you’ve probably found yourself juggling all the day-to-day tasks—emails, content, calls—while your bigger vision and strategy keep gett...

In this episode of Luminary Leadership Podcast, I’m diving into a different perspective on leadership. We often think of leaders as problem-solvers, but what if the best leaders actually create problems on purpose?

You’ve probably heard it a million times—‘time is your most valuable resource.’ I used to believe that too, but I’ve come to realize that it’s not actually time that matters most… it’s energy. As entrepreneurs, we can have all the time in the world, but if we’re running on empty, we won’t get far.

In this episode of the Luminary Leadership podcast, I’m breaking down why energy management is the real key to high performance and a ful...
