Your Communities are Waiting for You
In this episode of Your Loving Kick in the Pants, I share a short but heartfelt message as I prepare to celebrate 10 years in business. I talk about the ups and downs of entrepreneurship, admitting there were many times I felt like giving up, but the rewards have been worth it. I also give a sneak peek at a future episode where I’ll reveal my top 10 lessons learned, one from each year of my business journey.

Today’s focus is all about community and why it matters so much for entrepreneurs. I highlight my Boss Minded Facebook group, especially our weekly Successful Saturday tradition where members celebrate their wins, both big and small. From new clients to personal milestones, these successes inspire and remind us that we are not alone. I also share about a recent women’s Bunko night I hosted, showing how powerful and uplifting it can be to gather, connect, and build friendships. My final message is a loving challenge: stop waiting to be invited and start showing up, because your people are out there waiting for you too.

Ep. #141 Confidence is Proof of Passed Succes...

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.
