    114 | All Is Meant for You: Trusting the Timing Of Your Life (Even When It Breaks Your Heart)
    Jul 6 2026
    There's a particular kind of hard that comes with believing everything is happening for you while also being in the thick of wishing it had gone differently. Trusting the timing sounds beautiful in theory, but it's a lot more complicated when you're sitting with a result you didn't want, a plan that didn't unfold the way you'd drawn it out, a heart that's grieving something it wanted so badly. This week brought one of those moments for Kaija. Something tender, something personal. But after she journaled on her porch, cried and was held by her community, and she knew it needed to be said out loud. Because surrender isn't the absence of grief. It's choosing to trust the bigger picture while still letting yourself be fully, completely human inside of it. What we're covering: How to hold deep trust and real grief at the same time -- without forcing yourself to skip the sadness or rush toward silver liningsWhat surrender actually looks like when you're white-knuckling a timeline you were never meant to controlWhere your power lives when the outcome isn't yours to hold and how to pour your energy there intentionallyWhy having your people around you in the hard moments isn't a luxury, it's a lifeline You can trust the timing and still honor every tear along the way. Both get to be true. A gentle note: this episode touches on fertility and grief. Love this episode?!

    115 | The "Shit or Get Off the Pot" Moment: Holly Priestley on Van Life, Real Estate and Life on Her Own Terms as a Woman Entrepreneur
    Jul 16 2026
    One of the things I knew when I started building Babes Before Business was that the women who would find their way into this community would be the kind you want to know. With stories that make you lean in, lives that make you think differently about what's possible, and a way of moving through the world that's equal parts grounded and completely their own. Holly Priestley is exactly that kind of woman. She grew up in northern New Mexico, camping every school break, holiday, and spare weekend her family could find, she developed a relationship with freedom and adventure that would quietly shape every major decision she ever made. Including the one where she accidentally bought a house at 23, the one where she sold almost everything and moved into a van, and the one where she finally said ENOUGH circling; it's time to actually do this! This is the first episode in a new series where I'm sitting down with the women inside BBB to hear their stories, share who they are, and introduce you to the humans behind this community. Holly is the perfect place to start. What we're covering: Holly's upbringing in northern New Mexico growing up camping every break and holiday, being the middle child, and how a childhood spent constantly on the move shaped the woman she becameHow she accidentally bought a house at 23, why it turned out to be one of the best mistakes she ever made, and what it sparked in herThe van life era: what exposed her to alternative living as an actual choice, and the real internal process behind her "shit or get off the pot" decision to go all inHow she built a decade-long career in real estate alongside her work as a fractional marketing director, and what that dual path actually looks like day to dayHer experience inside Babes Before Business and what it means to finally be in a room with women who genuinely get it Holly is the kind of human who makes you want to rethink the plan you've been following and ask yourself whether it was ever really yours to begin with. 📣 Connect with Holly Priestley: hollycpriestley.comIG: @hollycpriestley 📣 Join Babes Before Business: Real friendship comes first, and business success second.

    113 | Doing What's Best for You Is Doing What's Best for All: Boundaries and Self-Trust for Female Founders
    Jun 22 2026
    You stayed quiet again. Maybe it was in a meeting, maybe it was on a massage table, maybe it was the text you typed and deleted three times before putting your phone down and just letting it go. And in that moment of swallowing it, you told yourself you were being considerate. Thoughtful. The bigger person. But what if the kindest thing you could have done -- for yourself AND for them -- was just to say the thing? This episode cracked that question wide open with two stories from Kaija's actual week. A massage table realization that she didn't even speak out loud in the moment (because yes, she does this too). And a friend who caught herself mid-yes, checked in with her body, and chose differently. Both of them landed in the same place: doing what's genuinely best for you doesn't take anything away from anyone else. Most of the time it actually gives everyone more. What we're covering: Where self-compromise is so automatic you don't even catch it happening -- and how to start noticing it in real timeWhy your honest truth, shared kindly, is actually a gift to the other person (not a burden)What your no creates space for -- and why the right yes can't show up until you stop blocking itHow doing what's genuinely best for you ripples out and lifts everyone in the room You were never meant to shrink yourself to keep everyone else comfortable. That pattern stops today bc choosing you is how everyone wins! Love this episode?!

    112 | You Can't Ask For More And Shrink For Less: How to Stop Playing Small as a Woman Entrepreneur
    Jun 15 2026
    A whole month! That's how long the answer was already there, waiting, while every other thing got the energy that decision deserved. Bc sitting in the in-between felt safer than committing to the yes. But that in-between costs way more than the investment ever did. This episode is the story of what actually happened. The fear underneath the indecision, the conversation that cracked something open, the business credit card that showed up, and then what happened the week she finally pushed play! Three women joined BBB, the podcast popped off, the money flowing right back, plus more! The universe blessing the yes in real time. Kaija's bringing you into the full messy, shaky, seeking-validation truth of this IRL, bc the gap between asking for more and shrinking for less is somewhere most of us are living, and nobody's talking about what it actually costs to stay there. What we're covering: What it really means to ask for more and shrink for less -- and where that contradiction is quietly draining you right nowWhy the in-between costs more than the decision ever will (and how to stop letting it steal your momentum)The 4-belief flip journaling practice that moves you from stuck to clear to actually doing the thingWhy integrating something into your body and actions lands differently than just knowing it in your head -- and where the real spin-off blessings live Your yes is already inside you. This episode is about finally blessing it.

    111 | Energy Doesn't Lie: How Trusting Your Inner Knowing Transforms The Way You Lead, Decide, and Build As A Female Founder
    Jun 8 2026
    Every decision you've ever made.. the good ones, the ones you wish you could take back, the ones that changed everything.. your body knew the answer to first. Before the spreadsheet, before the advice, before the sleepless night running scenarios. There was a split second where something in you already had the answer. This episode is about learning to catch that moment before your mind talks you out of it. Your energy has been holding the answer the whole time. And here's the part that makes this even bigger than a decision-making tool: that energy isn't just yours. It's something way larger moving through you, guiding you toward the role you're actually here to play. When you follow it, you're not just serving yourself. The ripple goes way out beyond you. This one's short, practical, and a little cosmic✨ And it might be the simplest guidepost you've ever been handed. What we're covering: Why your energy registers the truth before your mind does -- and what's actually moving through you when it doesExpansion and contraction as honest guideposts for every decision, season, and next right moveWhy it's not only okay but necessary for what feels expansive to shift as you evolveHow to get quiet enough to feel it and brave enough to actually follow it Your energy is always talking. This episode is about finally letting yourself listen. Love this episode?!

    110 | Half-Year Life & Systems Check-in: What's Working, What's Shifting, and What's Coming Next
    Jun 1 2026
    Six months ago, Kaija sat down and made some commitments. Five systems, shared out loud on this podcast, with the intention of reclaiming energy, presence, and time. Today she's back to tell you exactly how that went -- the wins, the pivots, the things that stuck, and the things that didn't. And there's a lot more to catch up on than just the systems. Coaching her daughter's team. Playing volleyball and softball. Growing BBB. Showing up for networking events and the chamber. Trying to get pregnant. Living a full, beautiful, genuinely busy life while still pouring into this show twice a week. Something had to give, and Kaija's being completely honest about what that looks like going forward -- including a change to the podcast schedule that's less about pulling back and everything about showing up sustainably for the long game. This one dropped completely off the cuff. No notes, no outline, just a real conversation about the last six months and what the next six are shaping up to look like. What we're covering: The five systems from episode 67 -- a raw, honest six month report on what's actually been workingLife updates across all the things: BBB, family, sports, community, and trying to grow it by one more little humanWhy Kaija is dropping to one episode per week -- and why that decision is a full-body yesWhat's coming in the next six months and why this season feels like the most aligned one yet Same mission. Same heart. Just shifting how I get to move forward to honor this season of life, business, and expansion!

    109 | A Memorial Day Message for the Woman Behind It All
    May 25 2026
    One life. That's what we've got. And on a day when we're honoring the people who gave everything -- their bodies, their families, their safety, their time -- it feels like exactly the right moment to ask yourself how much of yours you've been giving away too. To old stories. To other people's expectations. To a version of yourself that was never really you to begin with. She's in there. The real one. The bold, full-spectrum, utterly unleashed version of you who's been knocking on the door of your heart for a while now. This episode is the reminder she sent. What came through this weekend was big -- and it needed to be said out loud. About shadow states and how sneaky they are. About the difference between knowing who you are in your head and actually letting her live in your body. About you only getting one shot at this life, and what you're going to do with that. What we're covering: The three things standing between you and actually being her now -- and why remembering who you are goes way deeper than a journal promptHow shadow states show up subtly in your body, your energy, and the way you talk about your own lifeRichard Rudd on discerning the heart from the mind -- and why getting that order right changes everythingWhat it looks like to make your highest, most authentic self-expression an actual non-negotiable starting today You've already manifested everything you've ever wanted. So what's next? Go way bigger than you've been allowing yourself to think. This episode will light that fire. Resources Mentioned: Gene Keys Audio LibraryGene Keys Book Love this episode?!

    108 | Connection Over Competition: How Female Founders Change the Culture of Women Entrepreneurship
    May 21 2026
    Picture the room. A table full of women who actually get it -- the ambition AND the exhaustion, the vision AND the overwhelm, the deep drive to create something meaningful AND the equally deep desire to do stupid fun stuff with people who feel like home. Women who want to strategize AND laugh until something comes out of their nose. Women who are rooting for you so genuinely that your win feels like their win too. That room exists. And you've been craving it longer than you've probably let yourself admit. This episode came straight from the heart -- from a conversation about what it actually looks like to change the culture of women entrepreneurship from the inside out. Like how we pull back when we feel insecure. We shrink when we want to expand. We scroll past the woman we'd love to be friends with because comparison got there first. And all of it traces back to one thing: the very human need for love and belonging that every single one of us is walking around with, whether we're running a seven-figure business or just getting started. So let's talk about what shifts when we stop contracting and start actually showing up for each other. What we're covering: Why women entrepreneurs pull back from the exact rooms and relationships they need most -- and the love and belonging reframe that changes everythingWhat it actually looks like to show up as the full spectrum woman you are -- the CEO and the hot mess, the fighter and the lover, all of itHow real, consistent connection between female founders ripples out way beyond the room you're sitting inThe culture of women entrepreneurship we're actively building together -- and how you get to be part of it We want the same things. Impact, income, real friendship, strategic conversation, and someone to do silly stuff with on the side. And the women you've been wanting in your corner? They've been looking for you too. 📣 Babes Before Business (BBB) is HERE! A community built for the full spectrum woman who wants besties AND business -- in that order. Join the Community Here!
