I want to live in a world where moms never need to feel guilty about purchasing business courses, because they know they’ve made the right decision. The only problem is, when everyone’s marketing is so enticing, it can be near impossible to pinpoint what’s right for our specific needs.
How can we look beyond the shiny marketing and identify the kind of courses that will work for our unique businesses? Is there a way to distinguish courses that wouldn’t be able to serve us?
In this episode, I’m sharing what to look for in a course when you’re at different stages of your business, using Marie Forleo’s B-School as an example.

As entrepreneurs, and especially as women, most of us have a deep desire to ‘save the world’ and be of value to others, and that’s beautiful, but it can make niching down incredibly difficult.
The problem is, narrowing down the scope of what we do is the key to running a successful business that doesn’t consume every waking moment of our days, so we have to resist the urge to be everything to everyone.
However, that can be easier said than done. How can we possibly go deep on just a few things, and where do we begin to define what those few activities are?
In this episode, Founder of Age Awesomely, Deb Blum and I discuss how pinpointing her niche actually allowed her to provide more value to others.
The information world is saturated, and that doesn't mean you can't stand out, but it does mean you won't stand out if you don't choose to build businesses around a specific problem people have. -Dana Malstaff

While running a business takes work, it should never come at the cost of our inner peace. In fact, the very idea that we need to 'hustle' to be successful does more harm than good.
The question is, where do we strike the balance between necessary, intentional effort and an all-out, harmful grind? How can we cultivate a better soul-life balance?

If we don't have awareness around our thought patterns, we're just falling victim to our programming. -Sam Kabert

Technology is brilliant, helpful and powerful, but it can also be a bit scary when it comes to our kids getting devices for the first time. For parents who grew up in a time where Siri or TikTok didn’t even exist, how do we acclimate to tech being an ever-present part of our kids' lives, and how do we ease them into it so that they have a healthy relationship with it?
As parents, we can’t ignore where the world is right now, but we can still set boundaries so that our children use tech when they are emotionally ready for it.
In today’s episode, I’m joined by Vice President of Public Relations & Communications at Gabb Wireless, Anne Marie McDonald. She talks about tech, when our kids should have it, and the impact it can have on their lives.
Tech isn’t going away, and we want to embrace it and teach our kids how to use it in a healthy way so they become healthy adults that are balanced. -Anne Marie McDonald
