Ever feel like you’re on a hamster wheel, chasing big business goals but missing the joy along the way? Same. This year, I’m switching things up in a way that feels a little scary but also so right. On this week’s episode of The Business Edit Podcast, I’m sharing why I’m stepping away from traditional goal-setting in 2025 and choosing a path that’s all about being intentional, sustainable, and fully present in my current season.

I’ll walk you through the motivations behind this shift, why small tweaks can sometimes be more powerful than giant leaps, and how I’m still keeping my business thriving without the pressure of big, shiny goals. If you’ve ever felt burnt out by hustle culture, struggled to find balance between parenting and work, or questioned whether chasing revenue milestones is really worth it, this episode will feel like a deep breath of fresh air.

Hit play to hear my honest reflections on what success can look like when you stop trying to "do it all" and focus on what truly matters. This episode is packed with real talk, practical insights, and a mindset shift that might just change how you approach 2025—and beyond.

This is part two in this series. Click HERE to listen to part one.

Many of us feel torn between our business goals and our kids on a daily basis. For women like me, who are trying to keep their kids at home full-time, while also running a business, every day feels like a tug-of-war. When I came back from maternity leave this fall, I connected with so many women who were able to balance being a full-time mom and business owner at the same time, and I was so encouraged by their stories and advice - so I decided to invite a few of them onto the podcast to speak to you too!

If you’ve ever wondered if it’s truly possible to do both—and do them well—this two-part podcast episode is for you. You will hear from 9 incredible women, each with a unique story of how they built their businesses while keeping their kids at home full-time. Some of these women you’ve heard on my podcast before, and others I’ve never met prior to this episode. Regardless of how they started, their paths are full of practical wisdom, candid truths, and inspiration to encourage you on your own journey.

This isn’t just a highlight reel of success stories—it’s a real and raw look at the challenges, sacrifices, and creative solutions these women have used to make it work. From structuring their days around naptimes to setting boundaries, managing client expectations, and finding support in their community, these women have found ways to build meaningful businesses without losing sight of their family priorities.

Whether you’re considering keeping your kids at home or you’re already in the thick of it and feeling stretched too thin, these stories will help you feel seen, understood, and encouraged.

Ever feel like your to-do list is never-ending, and no matter how many time management books you read, nothing quite works for you? You're not alone! In this episode of The Business Edit, I sit down with Anna Dierman Kornick, a time management coach, author, and host of It's About Time. We dive into why traditional time management strategies might be failing you and how to create a system that suits your personality, lifestyle, and unique needs.

Anna shares her journey from working in crisis communication to becoming a time management pro, revealing the lessons she learned along the way about burnout, boundaries, and finding balance. We also discuss why a “one-size-fits-all” approach doesn’t work, especially for busy women juggling multiple responsibilities. Anna introduces her "Heart Method" and emphasizes the importance of tailoring your productivity techniques to match your personality, not forcing yourself to fit someone else’s mold.

If you’re tired of feeling overwhelmed and ready to manage your time in a way that aligns with your life and business, this episode is for you. Tune in to get practical tips on tackling your to-dos, managing your energy, and finding the right balance that works for YOU. Whether you're a business owner, mom, or anyone trying to navigate a packed schedule, Anna’s insights will leave you with actionable steps to apply today.

Ever wonder how to actually plan for the year ahead—especially when life feels extra chaotic? In this episode of The Business Edit Podcast, I’m pulling back the curtain and sharing exactly how I’m planning for 2025 as a business owner in a busy season of life. I’ll walk you through what’s working in my business (and what’s not), how I’m making intentional time to reflect, celebrate, and plan, and why I’m likely not setting traditional business goals this year.

You’ll hear how I’m using my Quarterly Reset process to create clarity, focus, and momentum—even while juggling the demands of life and motherhood. I’m also spilling on which marketing strategies worked best, how I'm leveraging what I already have to increase my revenue, and why building systems—not just chasing goals—has been a game-changer for my life-first business approach.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed or unsure how to plan for 2025, this episode will help you slow down, zoom out, and create a sustainable path forward. Tune in now to hear my behind-the-scenes approach to preparing for a new year in business and navigating it with clarity, calm, and confidence!

Imagine having a personal assistant who’s available 24/7, helping you generate marketing content, manage your schedule, and brainstorm new ideas—all without costing you a cent. That's what happened to Alex Beyers when she started using ChatGPT to run her business. At first, she approached it with caution, but before long, ChatGPT became her secret weapon for creating high-quality content at lightning speed.

If you’re like many business owners who’ve tried ChatGPT and thought, “This is garbage,” you’re not alone. But the key, as Alex explains, lies in how you use it.

Rather than treating ChatGPT like a robot that can magically solve all your problems, think of it as a new team member that needs training. It’s not just about getting it to create content, but about making it sound like your content. This is where most people get stuck—they skip the crucial step of training ChatGPT to understand their business, brand voice, and unique selling points. Think of it like hiring a new VA: if you don’t provide context, you’ll only get generic results.

To learn more about how Alex uses ChatGPT to streamline her business and to hear all the in-depth tips she shared, tune in to the full episode of The Business Edit podcast. This could be the spark you need to level up your marketing without adding more to your plate!
