Episode 27: A 3-Step Protocol for Improving Your Emotional Control to Lead Your Team Well as a Female CEO
I'm only a third of the way through a book that has already changed how I lead my team.
It's Inner Propaganda by Owen Fitzpatrick, and it hands you a simple 3-step protocol for those moments when your emotions hijack your brain at work. As a female CEO (and yes, a perimenopausal one), I needed this.
I'm sharing the story I've told myself for YEARS about my own staff... and the decision about their pay that I announced at our recent staff retreat because of it.
If you're a women business owner scaling a wellness business and you feel everything deeply... this one's for you.
In this episode:
The line from Inner Propaganda that explains why naming your feeling PRECISELY calms your brain down
The "us versus them" story I've told myself about my staff for years... and where I think it really comes from
Why naming your goal changes what your brain does with your feelings
How to tell whether you're leading for your team or just trying to be liked
The pay decision I made for my team this year... and why I made it from my goal, not my feelings
What Ryan Deiss admitted about running a business that made me so grateful (and what it has to do with Costa Rica in January)
Take Action:
Next time your emotions hijack your brain and you start that death spiral of frustration, anger, or loneliness... stop and run the protocol. Name the feeling, name the goal, and take one action toward that goal today.

Episode 26: How to Start New Revenue Streams in Your Business [Live Coaching Call with Elizabeth Martin]
Most business owners wait for a crisis before they diversify their revenue. Elizabeth Martin isn't waiting.
Elizabeth is a mental health OT who runs Holistic Community Therapy in Portland, Oregon... the ONLY mental health OT clinic in her state that's reimbursed by insurance. She opened it in 2019, right before the pandemic hit, and kept it going. Now she's looking years ahead and planning new revenue streams to protect what she's built.
In my first-ever live coaching call on the podcast, she lets us listen in as she bravely thinks it through out loud in public.
If you're a women business owner scaling a wellness business, her questions are the ones you should be asking too.
In this episode:
Why Elizabeth's long-term thinking about revenue risk is exactly what smart CEOs do... and why my cash-heavy practice needs the same thinking in reverse
Why some insurance-based practices set up a SEPARATE entity before they offer cash-based services (not legal advice!)
Why a cash-based offer should cost 2 to 3 times what insurance pays
The parent coaching service I've wanted to launch for YEARS... and why this conversation has me rethinking revenue in my own practice
How a new revenue stream can give someone on your team a path to leadership
You're not selling your services, you're selling an outcome... plus the simple next step Elizabeth chose to test her idea
Take Action:
Decide what the next revenue source in your business should be... the one that diversifies your income with the least amount of work and the most enjoyment. Write it down this week and take one step towards building that revenue source.

Episode 25: Avoid These Strategic Planning Mistakes I Made...So You Can Solve Real Problems in Your Business
Description
I just spent four or five episodes teaching you my strategic planning framework... and then one article, sent to me before a board retreat, showed me what it was missing.
Today I'm getting honest about the strategic planning mistakes I made for years as a women business owner, and what I'm changing now. I walk through Richard Rumelt's four hallmarks of bad strategy, the three-part kernel of good strategy, and the one step I was skipping before every annual plan.
If you're scaling a wellness business and your plan reads more like a wish list than a solution, this one is for you.
In this episode:
The listener email that called me "literally the only person" she hears talk about what goes wrong... and why I keep doing it
What I got RIGHT in my strategic planning series... and the one ingredient that was missing the whole time
Rumelt's four hallmarks of bad strategy, and which ones I was guilty of
Why "grow revenue by 10%" is a goal... NOT a strategy
The real staffing problem I diagnosed in my own business last year, and where our staff satisfaction scores landed this quarter
The three-part "kernel" of good strategy, and how my nonprofit board used it to decide what to say NO to
Take Action:
Pull out the strategic plan you started during the last few episodes and look at it again. Before you add another goal, write down the specific problem your business is trying to solve... then decide this week whether your plan actually solves it.
