Every entrepreneur faces that tension between playing it safe and stepping into growth.

In this episode, we share the best and worst money we’ve ever spent, from big wins to expensive lessons, and what helped us start spending with more confidence and less guilt.

You’ll walk away seeing every dollar you spend (or save) as part of your leadership, not a test of your worth.

Listen in to hear:

• How to tell the difference between a real investment and a shiny distraction
• Why it’s okay to spend money before you feel totally “ready”
• The lessons that helped us stop wasting money — and start learning from it
• How to think about time, tools, and training like a grounded business owner
• Simple reflection questions to decide what’s truly worth it right now

We built our businesses for freedom, but it’s easy to forget we’re the ones who get to choose what that looks like.

In this episode, we’re talking about building breaks and sabbaths into real life, like how Becky planned her postpartum time off and how Laurie gave her team December off last year.

Together, we’re unpacking how rest can be strategic, time can be led with wisdom, and seasons can actually serve the life we’re building.

Here’s what we’re covering:

• How to lead with emotional intelligence in how we plan and protect time
• The difference between rest that restores and rest that distracts
• What we learned from planning intentional time off (and what we’d do differently)
• Practical ways to design seasons that fit your real life and business

Running a business doesn’t have to mean constant hustle, overwhelm, or insecurity.

In this episode, we’re sharing the biggest mistakes we’ve seen women make at every stage, including a few we’ve learned the hard way - things that waste time, drain energy, or pull us away from what really matters.

We’ll talk about how to work with focus, build healthy rhythms, and create a business that fits your real life.

We’ll cover:

• Trying to sell before you’ve built a real community
• Building your life around your business instead of the other way around
• Copying what works for someone else instead of finding what fits you
• Believing God will “just make it happen” instead of learning a real strategy
• Forgetting that your capacity changes with your season
