So You Feel Burnout From Your Business // HOW TO SAVE IT

LISTEN TO THIS EPISODE IF YOU HAVE FALLEN OUT OF LOVE WITH YOUR BUSINESS & ARE UNSURE HOW TO CRAWL BACK TO PASSION FROM BURNOUT
If your business feels more like a chore than a passion, you’re not alone. Maybe you dream about a 9-5 just so you can shut off. Maybe you feel like the only way forward is to burn it all down and start over. But it doesn’t have to be this way.
This feeling is usually an operations issue. As your business grows you don’t adapt, you just keep adding more. More tasks, more stress, more pressure. You hire a team, but instead of relief, you feel like you’re managing chaos. You’re too deep in it to see another way.
In this episode, I’m walking you through a process to reconnect with your business, simplify what’s not working, and rebuild in a way that feels good again.
We’ll cover:
Why burnout is so common in business and how to avoid it
The signs you’ve outgrown your current way of working
How to reflect on operations, inefficiencies, and what’s causing stress
The power of simplifying, setting boundaries, and making big shifts
A real client story on how we turned burnout into a business they love again
Sometimes, the best thing you can do is rip the bandaid off and take action. This episode will help you step back, get clarity, and make the moves that bring joy back into your business.
Topics We Discuss: Business Burnout, Sustainable Growth, Operations & Efficiency, Reigniting Passion, Boundaries in Business

How to Increase Profitability As A Product Based Business Owner

LISTEN TO THIS EPISODE IF YOU ARE STRUGGLING WITH PROFITABILITY IN YOUR BUSINESS
Profit is the most important metric in your business. Revenue is great, but if your profit margins are tiny, you’re basically running an expensive hobby. You might be making $2M, but if you’re only keeping $50K… is it really worth it?
In this episode, we’re breaking down the biggest profitability mistakes business owners make, like not knowing their cost of goods sold (COGS), underpricing, or ignoring inefficiencies in labor costs. If money comes in and goes out and you have no idea where it’s going, this is your wake-up call.
We’ll cover:
The difference between profit and revenue (and why it matters more than you think).
Common profitability mistakes that keep businesses stuck.
Why a small profit margin with little room for growth is a major red flag.
A real client story on how optimizing inefficiencies doubled their profit in a year.
If you’re only looking at your numbers once a year at tax time, you’re already behind. Profitability isn’t just about cutting costs, it’s about smart strategy, pricing, and making decisions based on facts, not feelings.
If you want your business to be sustainable long-term, this episode will help you take a bird’s-eye view, get curious about inefficiencies, and start making real money moves.
Topics We Discuss: Profitability, Business Finances, Cost Optimization, Pricing Strategy, Scaling Profit Margins

Let’s Discuss Sales Plateaus In Business // Why They Happen & How To Fix Them

 
LISTEN TO THIS EPISODE IF YOU FEEL LIKE YOU’RE IN A SALES PLATEAU & HOW TO GET OUT OF IT
Let’s talk about that frustrating feeling when your sales just... stop growing. Maybe you’ve been stuck at the same sales number for months (or even years), or you can’t figure out how to hit that next big milestone. It’s like the momentum that got you here isn’t enough to get you further.
Here’s the thing: what helped you grow before isn’t usually what helps you scale. Growing is about big moves; scaling is about tweaks and adjustments. Often, we get comfortable, stick to what’s familiar, and miss the gaps and opportunities that are right in front of us.
In this episode, we’ll cover:
Common plateaus (like $30k, $60k, or even $1.1M) and why they happen.
How to analyze your business to identify gaps, inefficiencies, and untapped potential.
The BTS (behind-the-scenes) tweaks that need attention before taking bold action.
We’ll also talk about the big moves that can break the plateau—whether it’s growing your visibility, adding a new product, increasing your prices, or even cutting costs. I’ll walk you through questions to ask yourself, like:
Where are people dropping off?
What’s working, and how can you make it even better?
What major expansion action do you need to take?
The secret isn’t doing more; it’s doing better. Scaling starts with refining what you already have and making smart, intentional changes that create massive results.
If you’re feeling stuck and ready to shake things up, this episode is for you.
Topics We Discuss: Sales Plateaus, Scaling Strategies, Business Growth, Refining Systems, Breaking Stagnation

Necessary Foundations You MUST Know to Sell Your Products on Social Media

LISTEN TO THIS EPISODE IF YOU ARE WONDERING WHAT YOU MUST KNOW ABOUT YOUR BRAND TO THRIVE ON SOCIAL MEDIA
In this episode, we’re talking about the foundational elements every brand needs to truly thrive online. If you started your social media profile as a hobby or jumped into creating content without a clear business plan, this one’s for you.
We’ll break down the four key pillars every brand needs:
Ideal Customer – Who you’re speaking to and what they need from you.
Brand Values – What your business stands for and why it matters.
Differentiator – What sets you apart in your industry.
Brand Identity – The voice, visuals, and vibe that make your brand unique.
Once these pillars are solid, everything else—your messaging, content topics, and overall strategy—becomes so much easier. You’ll attract more aligned people, create engaging and specific content, and start building a real, connected community.
If you’re ready to take your brand from sticky and scattered to specific and thriving, this episode will walk you through how to get started.
