Ever feel like hitting pause on your career to raise a family is like pulling the emergency brake on your dreams? Well, what if that “pause” is actually a power move?

We’re diving deep into how to intentionally plan a pause, find purpose in caregiving, and re-enter the workforce without missing a beat, so click play now!

When I shared a carousel on Instagram titled “10 ‘Normal’ Things I Didn’t Know Were ADHD,” I had no idea it would resonate so deeply. Thousands of women flooded the comments with messages like, “I’ve never felt so seen,” and “Are you living in my brain?” and honestly, I felt the same way. That post didn’t come from research or theory; it was my lived experience.

In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on the surprising moment I discovered I have ADHD at 35 and how it’s impacted every aspect of my life: from how I run my business to how I navigate motherhood. I share the signs I missed, the strengths ADHD gave me, the hidden challenges it created, and what I’ve experimented with to support my brain, like meds, movement, and microdosing.

This is part personal story, part practical insight, and part love letter to every woman who’s ever wondered why life sometimes feels harder than it “should.” If you’ve ever thought you were just “bad at life,” this episode is for you.

You know those moments in business where things suddenly feel a little too quiet? Maybe the inquiries slow down, sales dip, or your calendar just isn’t as packed as usual. It can feel unsettling, especially when you’re not sure why it’s happening or how long it’s going to last. 

The truth is, EVERY entrepreneur hits those slower seasons. In my business, summer tends to be our slow season. Depending on what you do, it may be around the holidays, or in the Fall. Having busy and slow seasons is a natural part of running a business. The most important thing is for us to make the most out of these ebbs and flows to prepare for when things pick back up again.

That’s why today I’m bringing back a conversation that originally aired a few years ago about four strategies I lean on when things slow down in my own business. They’re timeless, practical, and focused on helping you use these quieter times to your advantage!

So whether you’re currently feeling the weight of a slower season or just want to be prepared for the next one, this episode is packed with four simple yet effective ways to reignite momentum and boost your sales. Let’s get into it!

This summer, I am not focused on launching something new. I am focused on building something essential: playbooks. Clear, step-by-step documentation that makes our business run smoother, with or without me.

Dan Martell’s book Buy Back Your Time reminded me that real freedom comes from documented systems, not just delegation. And my friend Stacy Tuschl challenged us to not just build playbooks, but to test them. That hit hard!

The truth is, I learned this lesson the hard way. One of my team members broke her foot during a major launch and suddenly we realized she was the only one who knew how to do a few key crucial elements of her job.

From that moment on, I knew that if we wanted peace, to grow with ease, and to actually protect our people, we had to build the playbooks for each role. So, come along this journey with me while I explain what a playbook is, how we’re building them out, and how we’re testing them!

What happens when Instagram expert Brock Johnson grills me about my favorite platform? A rapid-fire strategy session that turned into a full-blown Pinterest masterclass.

Originally recorded for Brock’s podcast Build Your Tribe, this convo was too good not to share (listen to the original episode here!). In this conversation, we flipped roles: he asked the questions, I dished out the tactics, and the feedback was fire! We heard things like: “This reignited the fire, I’m jumping back into Pinterest!” and “Instagram is burning me out, and this is exactly what I needed.”

If you’re tired of chasing trends and want your content to actually last, this BONUS crossover episode is for you.

So if you’re burned out on Instagram, tired of chasing trends, or just curious how to get more mileage out of your content, this episode is your Pinterest crash course. And if you’re ready to learn more about Pinterest like right now, you missed my live masterclass but we’ve got it on demand for you, just head to http://www.teachmetopin.com!

If we could sit down together for a cup of coffee or a walk around the block, these are the exact questions I know you’d be asking:

How do I grow an email list without a huge following? How do I launch something big, like a book, while navigating motherhood or a major life pivot? How do I turn my business into a rinse-and-repeat machine instead of reinventing the wheel every week?

…Oh, and can we talk about sleep? Because I’m tired. You’re tired. Let’s fix that too.

This Q+A episode is packed with real, raw, and super actionable advice from questions submitted by YOU: my community of doers, dreamers, and builders.

Feeling anxious about the economy or unsure how to take control of your financial life? You’re not alone, and this episode is your toolkit. 

Haley Sacks, AKA Mrs. Dow Jones, is a self-made financial powerhouse who turned confusion into clarity and turned budgeting into a cultural movement. When she realized financial education felt like it was made by and for Wall Street bros, she set out to change that… and succeeded.

Her latest creation, The Money Book 2.0, is a revolutionary, spreadsheet-based financial system that’s already changed over 10,000 lives and counting. It’s intuitive, secure, fun, and actually works! No clunky apps, no confusing spreadsheets, just results.

In this conversation, we’re digging into how to budget with confidence, why your spreadsheet might be sexier than your stock portfolio, and how to stop feeling behind when it comes to money… no matter what the headlines say. Let’s dive in!
