Hand In The Sand Mentality Leads To Increased Fulfillment
In this episode, I share how being on a cruise ship has given me the space to focus on writing my book, Becoming Boss Minded. Surrounded by other marketers, I’ve been reminded how easy it is to feel pressured to do everything people suggest for success. Instead, I reflect on a lesson from my mentor called "hand in the sand," which is about focusing on a few key priorities and letting go of the rest.
I discuss how taking on too many goals, especially ones that don’t align with your values, leads to burnout and failure. By narrowing your focus and saying no to distractions, you can be more productive and at peace. I’ve embraced this mindset to avoid FOMO and stay on track, and I encourage listeners to do the same by prioritizing what truly matters to them.

In this episode of Your Loving Kick in the Pants, I talk openly about grief, why it’s so hard, but also how it can shape us for the better. I share how serving in my church inspired me to bring up grief as a discussion topic after several recent deaths in my community. I remembered losing my father-in-law to cancer and how that experience changed my outlook on life, family, and purpose. Through loss, I’ve learned that grief gives us “stunning awareness”, a deep understanding that forces us to grow, change, and appreciate what really matters.

In this episode, I talked about how social media management really works for business owners. Many people think hiring someone will fix their consistency, but the truth is, you first need to know your own content, your audience, and your goals. I explained that knowing the basics of your business, what you sell, who you sell to, and what makes you different, is the foundation for creating effective posts. Once you’re clear on that, social media becomes less overwhelming and way more powerful.
