In this deeply empowering episode of Second Cup Sessions, we sit down with Brittany to explore the science, soul, and strategy behind becoming your highest CEO self. Brittany Brzezinski shares her newest program, Activate Her, designed specifically for women business owners ready to ditch burnout and step into their million-dollar mindset — without the pressure of going from zero to 100.

We unpack the power of creating your CEO avatar — an intentional version of yourself that’s rooted in desire, grounded in reality, and flexible to your season of life. From understanding how our nervous systems respond to change to exploring the guilt and shame women often carry in both business and life, Brittany reminds us that meaningful growth doesn’t come from hustle culture, but from slow, intentional embodiment.

We also dig into:

• How to work with your nervous system instead of against it

• Why perfectionism and “doing more” often lead to self-sabotage

• Learning to honor your energy, your cycles, and your capacity

• Redefining self-care beyond wine, Netflix, and emotional bypassing

With wisdom, humor, and realness, Brittany challenges us to stop comparing ourselves to the highlight reels of social media and instead start showing up — one micro-action at a time. Whether you’re burnt out, stuck in shame cycles, or simply ready to evolve, this conversation is a must-listen.

🧠 Reminder: Your growth doesn't have to be hard. Sometimes, it starts with a 10-minute walk and a deep breath.

In this honest and hilariously relatable episode, Calley and Kati dive into the awkwardness of promoting your own business—why it feels cringey, especially for women, and how self-deprecation often sneaks into our everyday language. They reflect on how easy it is to rave about a friend’s store but how uncomfortable it feels to say the same things about your own.

The conversation includes role-playing introductions of each other’s businesses (with lots of laughter and pen drops), a deep dive into imposter syndrome, and personal stories from their early days of entrepreneurship—including creepy warehouse beginnings and the grind that built their brands.

They explore how minimizing your work is a disservice to the past you who put in the long hours, took the risks, and built something from nothing. The episode ends with a challenge: get on social media and brag about your business like you would your best friend's—and tag @SecondCupSessions so they can hype you up right back.

It’s a feel-good, fire-you-up kind of episode that reminds you: your hard work is worth celebrating.

In this honest and hilarious episode of Second Cup Sessions, Kati and Calley sit down with Sarah, a financial coach and entrepreneur whisperer from Journey to Influence. Sarah is a financial coach who brings practical, mindset-shifting advice to small business owners.

Over coffee and sparkling grapefruit water, they dig into:

• Common financial pitfalls entrepreneurs face—like DIYing too long or hiring too early.

• The importance of knowing your numbers and doing regular audits, even if it’s uncomfortable.

• Why paying yourself (even a little) matters, and how Profit First helps build long-term financial health.

• The emotional attachment entrepreneurs often have to money, and how to separate self-worth from sales figures.

• Tips for teaching kids about money, like budgeting school clothes or managing a mini business.

• The magic of taking time away (even just a few hours) to sit down with your finances and make intentional plans.

Sarah encourages business owners to start small, be honest, and remember that data is just data—not a judgment on your success.
