About Calm & Colorful: Not Your Average MBA Diaries
This podcast is not polished. It’s not planned out. It’s just me — recording voice notes in real time as I move through the One Day MBA program and rebuild my business from the inside out.
I’ve been running my business for seven years. But this? This is Calm & Colorful 2.0. A new version. A deeper mission. A bigger ripple. And I’m documenting the journey as it unfolds — one day, one alignment, one breakthrough at a time.
The One Day MBA is an 18-month, hands-on business accelerator where you grow your business in real time — with strategy, coaching, community, and way more truth-telling than I expected. I said yes because I was ready to bring my business back to life. To lead with more clarity, more confidence, and more me.
Because this season is all about being fully alive in it not just getting through it.
This podcast is for the ones doing business with babies on their hips and big dreams in their hearts.
For the ones who crave both strategy and softness.
For the mamas bringing their full selves to the work.
Mama. Business. Alive.
Unfiltered. Unedited. Just one day at a time.
Disclaimer: What I share here is simply my personal journey, reflections, and takeaways. The lessons I talk about from One Day MBA classes or community events are not a substitute for actually being in the program. Think of this podcast as my unfiltered notebook — shared in hopes that it sparks ideas, encouragement, and support for your own business path.
Every Maze Has Walls: What the Launch House Weekend Taught Me About Pivoting
I just got home from LaunchHouse, and this one has it all: tears, laughs, a maze, and a whole lot of water bottles.
In this episode, I take you inside my weekend with fellow founders, including:
Meeting my Zoom classmates in real life for the first time
Interviewing mamas on camera about how they find their pause
The water bottle sales challenge (and what it taught me about thinking bigger)
Crying on and off all day, then getting up to pitch Mama Pause anyway
The feedback I got, and the customer story that's going in every pitch from now on
Why "objections are signals" and "interest isn't a sale"
The maze analogy that finally helped me name my wall: not being willing to pivot
Plus, where Mama Pause stands today and what I'm doing differently this week.
If you're building something too, I'd love to hear: what's the wall in your maze right now?

This podcast shares my personal journey and takeaways. It's not professional, legal, or financial advice.

Launch House Day 3: The Wall I'd Been Hanging Out At
It's 1:17 AM, I'm in bed (hello, creaky mattress ️), and Launch House is officially over. I'm sad to say goodbye to my friends and so excited to get home to my baby. All the feels.
During build time, I stepped outside and ended up talking with Ranbir, the founder of OneDay, for what felt like an hour. I asked him the question that had been sitting on my heart all weekend: Do I have potential?
His answer changed how I'm looking at everything.
In this unfiltered voice note:
The maze metaphor, and my aha moment that I'd been hanging out at the same wall
Why he believes the problem I'm solving is real, and where he's not sold yet
A big one: a $200+ offer needs about 20 people, not hundreds
His challenge: run fast experiments with a clear success metric, try 15 things, and don't fall in love with the solution
️ Practicing sales objections, all with Mama Pause
A group photo, a OneDay chant, and a dance party
️ Launch House is coming back in December, and it's all about pitching!
I've never felt more lost and more on track at the same time. If that makes sense to you, this episode is for you.
Full Launch House reflection episode coming soon!
Mama. Business. Alive.

Launch House Day 2: I Needed a Mama Pause for My Mama Pause Pitch 2
It's midnight, I'm walking back to my room (hello, elevator noises ), and Day 2 of OneDay Launch House was… holy moly.
Today I got up for Helen's famous one-minute pitch challenge and shared Mama Pause. My hands shook, I cried a little, my heart was pounding, and I'm pretty sure I blacked out. I needed a Mama Pause for my own Mama Pause pitch! It wasn't perfect, but the feedback was gold, and it's a moment I only get to grow from.
In this unfiltered voice note:
What it felt like to pitch live, and the feedback I got
Filming content in hallways full of founders doing selfies and interviews
Building an outreach plan with AI
How comparing myself to another founder turned into inspiration once I learned she'd practiced her pitch 40+ times
The OneDay founders Q&A, and why I'm suddenly open to the idea of a co-founder
A simple lesson: always keep your QR code handy when moms ask to buy!
Missing Korbin and my fiancé Kelton, while soaking up every connection
This was a roller coaster of a day, full of doubt, tears, and a lot of breakthroughs. Most of all, it was about the people. Zoom contacts became real friends, and mentors stayed past midnight for us.
For the mamas building something with babies on their hips and big dreams in their hearts, this one's for you.
Mama. Business. Alive.
What I share here is my personal journey and reflections, not a substitute for being in the OneDay program.
