I Heart My Life Show

So many women enter the world of entrepreneurship with the idea of more freedom in mind. Maybe it was a yearning for financial freedom, creative freedom, or overall freedom that got you here. Now, I know how easy it is to get wrapped up in your business so much that the idea of stepping away for a few weeks of vacation seems impossible and that freedom seems out of reach. I’ve been there. Maybe you are craving that freedom of more time, a vacation, or even doing more of what you love in the business but are stuck because your operations feel entirely reliant on you. If so, this is an episode you don’t want to miss. When you run a business, it’s easy to feel like it can’t operate without you there. The truth? It can. That’s why I was excited for the opportunity to have my friend and brilliant operations expert, Adrienne Dorison, join me on the show. Adrienne is the CEO and co-founder at Run like Clockwork and works with clients all around the world to help them achieve that sense of freedom that so many crave.

I can’t believe I’ve been running I Heart My Life for seven years now. In retrospect, this business was the best thing that could have come out of a quarter-life crisis. I went from feeling lost and unfilled to full of purpose and passion. I’m so blessed to love what I do for a living, and I never want to take that for granted. From having the opportunity to help women around the world to being in control of how and when I work, there are countless reasons why I love running a coaching business. And I know there are so many people who have considered embarking on the journey of creating a coaching biz of their own. So, I wanted to share some of my favorite aspects of running my business with those of you considering taking this path. If you’re already a coach or business owner, don’t write this one off. Instead, use it as a reminder of all that we have to be grateful for in these roles we have. Follow along as I reveal my top 10 favorite aspects of running this business. There’s way more than 10, trust me. Bu

How many times do we let feelings of fear and overwhelm get in the way of stepping into our big dreams? While it may seem easier to give up or settle in the face of adversity, great things await on the other side. Remember, your dreams are not only meant for you, but they are possible. Take it from the lovely Florence Andrews. Florence is a talented actress and budding mindset coach who swears by her life-elevating experience in my signature I Heart Coaching program. Joining this program helped pave the way for Florence to grow and prosper with not just one but two big dreams of hers. So, I was excited to have Florence back on the show (you can catch my coaching session with her from her earlier days in the program here) to discuss how her life has transformed since beginning the program back in the early days of the pandemic. Since joining the program, she’s gone from unemployed and under-fulfilled to running a successful coaching business and snagging a role in her very first Hollywood film. Her transforma

Are you held back by fears, doubts, and insecurities when marketing yourself and your business? Despite what your doubts may tell you, there are people out there who need what it is you are offering. It’s your job to help them understand what you’re offering and how it can help them get the results they’re craving. Now, if the mere thought of putting yourself and your services out there for the world to see makes you feel pushy, sleazy, or simply uncertain, this episode is filled with actionable advice you’re going to want to pay attention to. You won’t want to miss this inside look at a real-life coaching call with Natasha McDowell, a member of my signature  I Heart Coaching program. Follow along as we dive into her biggest fears and insecurities when it comes to putting herself out there and marketing her (incredible) services. Truthfully, Natasha’s fears around her struggles with getting people to commit to purchasing her coaching packages are relatable for so many new coaches. Listen as I reveal my b

Be sure to press play for your behind-the-scenes access to my signature I Heart Coaching program. In this episode, I sit down with three incredible I Heart Coaching members as we talk about everything from what got them to finally say yes to the program to how the program has transformed their lives. So, join me as I chat with Jada, Amy, and Natalie about everything I Heart Coaching related. Together, we talk through their journey from aspiring coaches to confident business owners.

Listen as Jada explains how this program allowed her to walk in her purpose and achieve the freedom she’s always wanted. Additionally, Amy dives

How often does your mindset and attitude set the stage for what is to follow? The answer? All the time. We attract what we put out into the world, so whether we are talking about success, wealth, or abundance of any kind, we must be aware of how we are showing up. This episode serves as yet another reminder of just how true that is.  Join me for the sixth and final installment of my series reviewing Catherine Ponder’s influential book, The Dynamic Laws of Prosperity. If you haven’t picked up a copy of this book yet, be sure to do so after listening to this episode. I’m telling you, this book can help you step into the transformation that will have you living your best and most prosperous life ASAP.  Follow along as I reveal just how big of a role persistence plays in prosperity. Ponder discusses how a person persistent in the perusal of their dreams is often the one who achieves them (and I couldn’t agree more). Remember, failure is success trying to be born in a bigger way and a sign that something

Feeling down about sales? Truthfully, it can be overwhelming putting yourself and your offers out there for others to see (and purchase). I totally understand your reservations here, and I want you to know that you are definitely not alone. I think about how many people have incredible offers sitting in their hearts, minds, or computers but who let their fears or uncertainties about sales keep them from sharing their value with others. This episode is a great way to remind you that it's not just about having something to offer, but you have to know how to sell it before you can start using whatever that thing” is to impact the lives of others. So, this is a special episode all about sales, featuring my husband, James Williams. James is an impactful high-performance coach here at I Heart My Life. After he did this incredible training all about the secret to approaching sales with the I Heart Coaching students a few days ago, I knew I had to share it here, too. Sales is one aspect of business where entrepreneur

When's the last time you followed your gut instinct or let your intuition guide your decisions? What if I told you that following that feeling and embracing originality would open the door to your innate genius powers? (Because it would). Join me for part five of this six-part series as I dive into chapters 13 and 14 of Ponder’s incredible book, The Dynamic Laws of Prosperity, and reveal how you can start tapping into those genius powers today. This episode focuses on the Prosperity Law of Self-Confidence and the influence of your intuition on your prosperity. Truthfully, I loved these chapters because I know that I wouldn’t be here running I Heart My Life today if I hadn’t taken the leap of faith and followed my intuition with confidence. I also know the challenges of showing up with unwavering confidence and bravely following our intuition (and, often, into the unknown). That’s why I’m excited to invite you to listen to this episode filled with insight that could literally change your life. While it may see

Storytelling is one powerful tool. To highlight just how powerful it can be, I was thrilled to have the incredible Tricia Brouk back for another episode of the I Heart My Life show. (She was last with us in Episode 18 which you can find here.) This time, she’s here to discuss how we all have the power to influence others with our story and, by doing so, leave a legacy behind. Tricia is an award-winning writer, producer, director, and esteemed speaking coach who I greatly admire for so many reasons. After listening to our conversation, I’m certain you’ll understand why. Follow along as Tricia explains her journey from dancing on stage in New York to helping speakers on stage at events like TEDx, and how the latter opened the door for her to step into her passion of helping others find their voice and share their story with others. While she never imagined she’d end up in the coaching space (she admits she didn’t really know online businesses were much of a thing at first), Tricia details how she took a bold (

If multiplying your current income by 10x sounds desirable to you, you’re in the right place. I’m back with part four of my on-going series in which I share the knowledge and insights from the pages of Catherine Ponder’s incredibly inspiring (and life-changing) book, The Dynamic Laws of Prosperity. The chapters I explore in this episode are especially juicy and offer life-changing advice for how you can create massive shifts in terms of money and wealth in your life and business. Join me as I dive into the knowledge Ponder offers in chapters 10 through 12 and reveal why financial independence can be yours and just how to make it happen. I really want you to understand that this is possible for you. That’s why I share actionable steps you can take to literally 10x the amount of money you’re regularly bringing in (and it’s easier than you may think). In fact, I share 10 things you can do every day to welcome financial abundance into your life. I might as well have called this episode “the power of 10…” With thi

The world of online coaching is booming right now, but I’m finding a lot of new coaches making one of two mistakes. Either they’re not niching their offer and therefore not targeting a specific audience or they’re niching too much to the point where they are actually limiting future growth. Even worse? Some aspiring coaches get so hung up on the buzzword itself that they never move into the actual business creation. Let’s avoid that, shall we? There’s no doubt that figuring out your niche is a great way to get clear on your offers, target your ideal audience, and make it more obvious how you can serve them. The downside? It's a buzzword that can send people in a panic or leave them scratching their heads wondering how specific is too specific or, on the other hand, at which point does broad dilute a sense of expertise? If you can relate to this challenge, keep reading (or better yet, go ahead and hit play on this episode). I recently recorded a live coaching session with one of our I Heart Coaching members, A

Get ready to dive into the next three chapters of Catherine Ponder’s incredibly powerful book, The Dynamic Laws of Prosperity. This is part three of my on-going series in which I share the knowledge and insights from the pages of Ponder’s book that can literally change your life and have you stepping into your greatest, most prosperous desires. This episode serves as a reminder that whatever you send out is what you are going to get back in this world. We’re all guilty of a little jealousy here and there right? Follow along as I dive into what that jealousy really means (and how it can actually reveal what is possible for you). In fact, the chapters I analyze in this episode are all about how your thoughts and attitudes surrounding wealth and prosperity of you and others can make or break your ability to attain it. That’s why I repeat so many powerful quotes and mantras that Ponder wrote that can help get money flowing into your life. I love reiterating Ponder’s theory of how prosperity is not a race. Listen

Are you ready for that personal transformation that will help you step into your dreams? That will help you as you navigate the early stages of building or growing a business doing what you love? The wait is over, Lovely. I am so excited to share with you the insight and wisdom of the amazing Dr. Jay LaGuardia, health and wellness extraordinaire! Honestly, this might just be one of my favorite episodes yet. You don’t want to miss it. Jay doesn’t hold anything back in this interview. He reveals how his traumas from his childhood reveal themselves in unpleasant ways in his adult life, nearly ruining his relationship with his wife and children and his business. He not only shares the moment he knew he needed to make a change but reveals the rather simple steps that he put in place to make that change.  The best part? It doesn’t have to be complicated. Jay has an incredible way of showing how making these shifts in your life can be rather easy for you to manage (after 30 years of doing it himself, he would k

Welcome to part two of this new series in which I dive into the life-changing knowledge inside of Catherine Ponder’s book, The Dynamic Laws of Prosperity. This episode is all about making space in your mind and life for the prosperity you’re desiring. Join me as I dive into the next three chapters of the book (and three new Laws of Prosperity). You know I’m all about the tangible takeaways, Lovely. So, get ready for me to share a super-simple process you can follow every day to help ignite the mindset transformation needed to step into prosperity in your own life and business. Even better? It only takes 15 minutes of your time dedicated to your desires each day. Totally doable (and I even share examples of incredible results this process can bring to life). Additionally, I explain why getting clarity (and specific) around your desires is an essential first step to getting on the road to prosperity and how you can set yourself up for success with your desires (Hint: write them down). I discuss why planning met

You know that feeling when you meet someone whose values you just totally align with? That’s how I felt when I met Jennifer Spivak. We both believe that when women go after their dreams and achieve financial success, the world can change. That’s what it’s all about, right? Finding that freedom, that passion, that purpose that can change not only your own life but the lives of others. Jennifer has a truly inspiring story behind her business (and she shares it in more detail in this episode!). After escaping an abusive relationship herself (with the help of a fund she kept hidden from her abuser), she spent some time involved in advocacy work surrounding domestic violence. That’s when she realized that financial abuse created a roadblock for so many women trying to escape these relationships. Unlike her, they didn’t have access to a secret fund to help them escape their situation. From that moment on, it became her mission to put more money into the hands of more women. And that’s exactly what she’s doing with

If you want it, you can have it (it’s true). You might just need to do a little mindset work before you can have it, Lovely. The good news is this episode can help you get around the roadblocks standing between you and glorious prosperity. This is the start of a new series in which I dive into all of the brilliant inspiration and insight from Catherine Ponder’s The Dynamic Laws of Prosperity. After hearing about the book from the amazing Dr. Jay LaGuardia (catch my interview with him next week), I immediately went out and bought it (and started implementing her teachings in my own life). It’s seriously filled with so much power and knowledge I had to break it down into four different episodes to share with you. I’m so excited to be diving into this book with you because she touches upon so many things that I know hit close to home. So, follow along as I peel back the layers of Ponder’s beliefs surrounding the guilt people often feel when they realize their desire for wealth and prosperity (and why that should

We get into the business for the passion, right? To make money doing something we love. I totally understand the desire to jump right in. However, the fact of the matter is that if you have a business, there are some pretty important legal actions you need to take to protect your business (and yourself). The good news? It doesn’t have to be as intimidating as we make it out to be. It’s so easy to get wrapped up in the strategies and marketing for your business, but the legal foundation is seriously so important. I don’t just want you to take my word for it because truthfully, I’m no expert! But luckily I know someone who is… Join me on this episode jam-packed with free (and super useful) legal advice from my friend, Andrea Sager. Andrea is a lawyer who specializes in helping small businesses navigate the world world of law as they build and grow their company. Her story is truly inspirational. Follow along as she shares her entrepreneurial journey (it started by selling clothes on Poshmark), explaining how be

I’m going to let you in on a little secret. You don’t have to do things the way others have done them. Now, of course, there is a lot to learn from experts in your field. There’s no need to totally reinvent the wheel where you don’t have to, but I’d argue it’s equally as important to know that there’s more than one set way to get the results you desire. The idea of giving yourself permission has been coming up a lot with our IHML clients, and after having a major realization in my own life and business at the start of this year (like literally on New Year’s Day), I knew I had to record this episode. Listen as I dive into the importance of giving yourself permission to pivot in your business (and your life) if it means following your heart. I discuss the difference between fear-based resistance and resistance caused by misalignment. Now, to help you take action, I reveal the questions that you can ask yourself any time you feel like you should be doing something. (Hint: if it’s not in alignment with your desir

When you think of the word success, what comes to mind? Is it money? Is it freedom? Is it running the business of your dreams? Or maybe it’s all three. One thing I’d be willing to bet doesn't come to mind is fear. But here’s the thing, fear of taking your big vision to that next level, the fear of success, is a very real thing (just ask my client, Joanne). Luckily, like with any fear, there are ways to move through it. There are strategies you can use to help you overcome the fears that are getting in the way of your big vision (don’t worry, I share them with you in this very episode). We both know the worst thing you can do is to allow yourself to stay stuck or to be held back by fear. That’s why I invite you to follow along on my real coaching call with my client, Joanne Muturi, as we unpack her fears keeping her from stepping into her big vision with her coaching business. She bravely admits that with her big vision taking on a team to help her expand her coaching business to that next level. The thing is,

Drum roll, please… The fourth, and final, episode of the 6-Figures in 6 Months series is finally here! Now, I know people love to talk about the structures and strategies, right? They think those things hold the keys to the kingdom of your dreams. We both know mindset plays an immense role in your success as well because the thing is, you need to build your dream like you would build a house. It starts with a strong foundation. So, this episode takes it way back to the beginning. Back to the foundation of my business. Back to my belief that I was meant for something big. So if you are a dreamer like me, this episode is for you. When I say my life changed in 6 months, it feels like a total understatement. People want to know what the secret is, right? And while I could answer with a million different things, one of the biggest things that I always come back to is being a dreamer. That’s why I’m so excited to wrap this series by diving into the 7 essential aspects of turning your dream into a reality, so if, li
