If you've ever caught yourself saying "I'm an anxious person," this episode is your wake-up call. Not “I feel anxious sometimes,” not “I’m having anxious thoughts,” but a full-on identity claim.

The problem isn’t the feeling itself. It’s what happens when you turn a temporary emotional experience into a permanent label, especially when it comes to money, growth, and going after the things you actually want. In this episode, I’m unpacking why anxiety is so often mistaken for protection, and how that misunderstanding quietly sabotages your relationship with money.

Join me this week as I explain why anxious money is the opposite of fun money, how language shapes identity and future outcomes, and what it looks like to notice anxiety without building a life around it.

Remember when you used to get your Spotify Wrapped and spend way too long analyzing every single stat? Well, what if I told you that same data-obsessed energy could be the key to taking your business from "pretty good" to "holy sh*t, did I really do that?”

Here's the truth: Most business owners are flying blind. They screenshot their wins, post their highlights, but have no real idea if they're actually winning the game. Meanwhile, public companies are required to bare it all in annual reports. Every. Single. Number. And I thought... why aren't we doing this? So I started. And it changed everything.

Join me this week as I pull back the curtain on a practice that transformed how I run my business and could revolutionize how you think about yours. You’ll hear why I started creating annual business reports, and how to create your own annual report that tells the complete story of your business year - not just the highlight reel.

Ever wonder how some women seem to "have it all" - successful businesses, happy families, and actual time to enjoy both?

My aunt Kimberlie Jacobsen owns 17 Great Clips salons, runs a 250-client CPA practice, and raised three boys. Her net worth? $7-8 million. But here's what surprised me most when I interviewed her for this week's episode: She picked her kids up from school every single day.

Join me this week to discover why most people don’t have the stomach for the game that is entrepreneurship, and my aunt Kim’s journey of crushing it in business for decades. You’ll hear how to handle the emotional ups and downs of entrepreneurship, why communication about money is more important than the dollar amount, and how to create a life where you can do anything you want without looking at the bill.

Generosity isn’t something you unlock once you’ve “made it.” You don’t suddenly wake up one day with a seven-figure business, a halo, and a giant novelty check. You become generous now, from exactly where you’re standing, because generosity is a character quality - not a financial milestone.

In this episode, I’m breaking down why giving from where you’re at actually fuels the receiving side of your business faster than any hustle ever will.

Join me this week as I walk you through 11 ways to be generous as a business owner, even if you're just getting started. From the generosity of honesty, to accessibility, to simply receiving a compliment without deflecting like you’re dodging bullets, you’ll hear why generosity has nothing to do with your revenue level and everything to do with your identity. Most importantly, you’ll see how viewing yourself as a generous person makes your brain endlessly creative about ways to give, no matter what season your business is in.

From a giant bathtub overlooking the ocean at the Ritz Carlton in Puerto Rico, with the scent of ginger and lemongrass filling the air, there's a question worth asking: what would your past self find most valuable to hear about the fun money experiences waiting on the other side of expansion?

In this episode, I'm sharing the detailed visual of my luxury week in Puerto Rico - not to brag, but to expand what's possible for you. I won this all-expenses-paid trip by becoming a top affiliate for my mentor's event, and the path here wasn't about hustling or forcing outcomes. It was about saying yes to expansion, following what felt aligned, and trusting that when we put ourselves in positions to grow, the right opportunities find us.

Join me this week to discover why money matters deeply when it comes to creating your most interesting life, how luxury and expansion often go hand in hand, and what happens when you normalize putting yourself in environments where there are surprises at every corner. Whether you're currently looking at three figures in your bank account or you're already making seven figures, this episode will challenge you to stop being indifferent about money and start using it as the tool for expansion it's meant to be.

What actually happens when you stop chasing revenue trophies and start playing a different game with money?

This week, I’m sitting down with my friend, colleague, and client, Christa Biegler, to have the kinds of behind-the-scenes conversations most business owners never say out loud: what’s your business really for? How many hours do you actually work? And what’s been way harder, or way easier than you expected on the way to building wealth?

Join us on this episode to hear why you can’t fully outsource your health or your wealth, how Christa gamifies decision-making to avoid burnout, and why “problems are forever” is the most freeing belief you can take into your money life. You’ll learn how she’s restructured her business to homeschool her kids next semester as part of her wealth strategy, what she’s learned from both painful and hilarious real-estate adventures, and how choosing higher-quality problems builds the capacity you need to create a life that feels rich, fun, and fully yours.

The problem with trying to build wealth is that your brain loves what it can see: the Tesla in the driveway, the designer handbags, the tropical vacations. But here's what I've learned: spending money that you have and watching your investments grow is way more fun than the temporary high of looking successful.

This week, I’m talking about the massive difference between being rich and being wealthy, and why most of us are accidentally modeling our money habits after the wrong people. I'm breaking down why the money you can see is actually leading you astray, and why the boring, invisible money habits are the ones that create real financial freedom.

Join me on this episode to discover why I pay myself a set salary even when I have $82k months, how to find the same level of calm and power that comes from not needing to spend money to feel powerful, and the six specific habits my level 10 money players use when no one is looking. Plus, I'll share why having money conversations - even the embarrassing ones about debt - is the fastest way to change your financial future.
