Are You The Lady At Church? Let’s Apply The Becoming Bossminded Framework
In this episode of Your Loving Kick In the Pants, I shared two stories, one about a woman who gave up on her business, and another who was pitching the wrong way. Both reminded me how easy it is to lose focus in business. That’s why I created the Becoming Boss Minded framework, to help women move forward with clarity and purpose.
I walked through five steps: desire more, define the cost, find your edge, create your version of success, and take your seat. I shared real examples and announced my new book Becoming Boss Minded, coming May 22nd. If you’re ready to grow your business without losing what matters most, this one’s for you.

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.

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.
