Six mistakes that cost me $36,000, nearly lost us our house, and stole my peace as a mom entrepreneur—so you don’t have to make them.

In this episode, I’m getting really honest about the biggest, most expensive mistakes I’ve made in my business. From a devastating tax bill to avoiding technology, refusing to outsource, skipping systems, having zero boundaries, and diluting my message—I’m breaking down exactly what went wrong and what I do differently now.

If you’re building a business while raising a family, consider this your friend pulling you aside and saying, “Girl, don’t step in these traps.”

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Why blind-trusting your CPA without following up can cost you tens of thousands

• How avoiding new technology (especially AI) is making your life harder than it needs to be

• The outsourcing mistake almost every mom entrepreneur makes—and how to start small

• Why skipping systems means you’re doing 30-minute tasks on repeat forever

• How “hustle” is really just burnout in disguise—and the boundaries that changed everything

• What happens when you try to be everyone’s cup of tea (spoiler: you become nobody’s first choice)

Most people don’t quit their goals because they’re lazy or undisciplined.
They quit because the system they’re using can’t survive real life.

Quitters Day—the second Friday in January—is when motivation fades and goals quietly fall apart. But science tells a very different story about why that happens… and how to stop it.

IN THIS EPISODE:

I walk you through 6 research-backed ways to make goals stick, even after motivation wears off. We’re breaking down what psychology and neuroscience actually say about follow-through—and why doing less often leads to more success.

Check out Chat GPT Accelerator

Netflix just dropped $72 billion in a move that shocked the entire tech world — not because they joined the AI arms race… but because they ignored it completely.

And friend… this has everything to do with your business, your creativity, your motherhood, and the dreams you’re trying to build in the margins of real life.

In today’s episode, we dig into:

• What their $72B bet reveals about YOUR future in the age of ChatGPT
• Why connection is still the strongest currency for women with big dreams
• How to use AI to lighten your load without losing your voice
• The powerful reminder every modern mom-entrepreneur needs to hear right now

If you’ve ever worried that AI might make your creativity irrelevant or your business obsolete, this episode will feel like a deep breath and a major mindset shift.

AI can make you efficient.
Connection is what makes you unstoppable.
