This episode was inspired by a single email and it made everything click. In this conversation, I break down what a real framework actually is, why frameworks are so powerful for follow-through, and how to tell the difference between a tested system and something that just sounds good online.

You’ll learn:
What a framework truly represents (and what it doesn’t)
Why frameworks must work for more than one person
How frameworks evolve over time and why that’s a good thing
Why frameworks act as a reset button when life gets messy
The difference between throwing spaghetti at the wall vs. following a pattern that works

I also share the umbrella framework that sits underneath everything I teach — the 3 C’s: Clarity, Capacity, and Commitment and explain how each one plays a role in achieving meaningful goals without burnout.

This episode is for the woman who feels conflicted about money, especially if you don’t need it… but you want it. In this honest, unscripted conversation, I share a moment from a recent Goal Design session that cracked open a pattern I've seen for years: women feeling guilt, shame, or embarrassment for wanting to make more money, even when their needs are already met.

Inside this episode, you’ll hear:
Why women are far more likely to feel guilty for wanting money
The difference between needing money and wanting money
Why wanting money is often about decision-making power, not greed
Why money itself is neutral and what you choose to do with it matters
A simple framework to define “enough” and “more” in a way that feels aligned

This is your permission slip to stop apologizing for your desires and start rewriting your money story with clarity, confidence, and integrity.

Your Accountable Action:
Ask yourself: Why do I want to make more money?
And be 100% okay with whatever the answer is because it's your answer.

If you’ve been waiting for life to calm down (or for your plan to feel “perfect”) before taking action, this episode is your permission slip to stop waiting. In this episode, I break down why progress does not require a perfect plan or a perfect life, and why waiting for either often keeps you stuck longer than necessary. Using real client stories, she shows how meaningful progress happens inside messy seasons, not after them.

You’ll hear:
Why even the best plans will never go 100% as expected
How to use a plan as a GPS, not a rigid rulebook
Real examples of progress made during burnout, grief, health challenges, and chaos
Why adjusting your path is not failure, it’s follow-through
How to take imperfect action this week instead of waiting

Your Accountable Action:
Ask yourself: “What is one imperfect step I can take this week toward the thing I care about without waiting for perfect?”
