Bossminded Framework And
Audio Book Details
In this episode, I share my excitement about recording the audiobook for Becoming Boss Minded and the journey it took to get there. I reflect on the mistakes and lessons I’ve learned in business, from managing a team to learning how to pay myself properly. I talk about the power of being direct, both in my coaching style and in how I’ve helped others grow. I also open up about personal struggles, like dealing with COVID and family issues, while finishing my first book, and how staying committed helped me push through tough times.
I then introduce the Boss Minded Framework, a five-step process to help people take smart, aligned action in business. The steps include desiring more, defining the cost, finding your edge, creating your version of success, and finally, taking your seat. I explain how each step plays a role in building a strong foundation and mindset for entrepreneurship. I also tease some upcoming events and the May 22 release of the book, encouraging listeners to join the waitlist for special launch-day perks.

In this episode, I talked about confidence, how people see us, and how that affects our growth in both life and business. I shared personal stories, from watching Wednesday with my kids, to getting compliments about my hair, to playing tennis and realizing I was better than I gave myself credit for. The main lesson was that when we accept compliments and believe in ourselves, we show up with more confidence, and that changes how others see us too.

In this episode, I talk about the common feeling of “everyone’s trying to sell me something” and how to avoid wasting time or money on the wrong solutions. I share my own experiences of jumping into offers too quickly, thinking they were signs, only to regret it later. The key lesson is that if I’m actively solving my own problems, I can spot whether an opportunity truly supports my goals or is just a distraction. I explain the Accountability Code, which starts with reflection, humility, and planning, so I can decide what fits my long-term vision before committing.

In this episode, I talked about BNI (Business Networking International) and how it helped me grow my business. I first discovered it when a friend invited me to her presentation and I found out it was a structured weekly meeting where local business owners share referrals, learn together, and hold each other accountable. I explained their core values like “Givers Gain” and accountability, and how being around serious, supportive people gave me motivation and a sense of community.

In this episode of Your Loving Kick in the Pants, I shared a story from my book Becoming Boss Minded about how to write copy that actually converts. Even if writing isn’t your main focus, I explained why learning how to guide people’s decisions is so powerful. We talked about how stepping just a little outside your comfort zone, what I call “finding the edge”, is the key to getting results, whether you’re selling, persuading, or just asking people to take action.
