Starting a Business in College: Harmony Media's Story with Makenna CampbellIn today’s episode, I’m joined by Makenna Campbell, founder of Harmony Media, as she shares her story of starting a business while still in college. Makenna takes us back to her roots in agribusiness, where she originally planned for a career in sales, until a pivotal internship at a small co-op opened the door to video content and storytelling in agriculture. With no prior experience, she leaned into curiosity, taught herself video production through online resources, and began creating meaningful content for local farmers and events.

We talk about the early fears that tend to show up, especially worrying about what others might think, and how moving through those moments allows us to share our gifts more freely. We also discuss the practical side of building a business in college, including the unexpected learning curve of managing taxes and the importance of preparing as success begins to grow.

From balancing social media work with financial planning to trusting her instincts, Makenna reminds us of the power of authenticity and the flexibility that entrepreneurship can bring.

In this episode, we cover: 

  • How a college internship led to Makenna starting a business in college
  • The unexpected challenges that come with entrepreneurship, such as initial fears about what others will think, and the reality of managing taxes for a business
  • Why authenticity is critical to sustainable business growth
  • The freedom and flexibility that come with owning a business, particularly the ability to adapt operations to life's changing seasons

I'm learning so much more about energy, moons, astrology, and how that energy plays into this. This year, specifically 2025 going into 2026, there is a transition to shedding and letting go of what's no longer serving us, so that in 2026, we can take action on what's really meant for us. 

I'm wondering whether there is a correlation between this burnout topic coming up now, as people are entering or learning to do this shedding and moving towards a more aligned, more sustainable business going forward. I invite you to join me; let's learn about this evolution together! 

In this episode, I cover: 

  • The intriguing influence of energy, astrology, and personal evolution in shaping our business journeys
  • How the burnout phase can affect us deeply, particularly in service-based industries where our identity is closely tied to our work
  • The question of whether there are clients or offers that it's time to let go of or shed for the possibility of what's coming

Hot Take: Hourly Billing Is a Disservice to Your ClientIn today’s episode, I’m tackling a hot topic—hourly billing for project-based service contracts. My frustrations with this common pricing model stem from its tendency to create a misalignment of interests between service providers and clients. I encourage you to shift towards value-based pricing, where flat rates reflect the true value and expertise you provide. 

By focusing on the outcomes and transformations you deliver, rather than the hours spent, you can enhance the client experience and optimize your processes, benefiting everyone involved. This pricing model can pave the way for more efficient, scalable, and satisfying business practices.

In this episode, I cover: 

  • The pitfalls of hourly billing and how transitioning to value-based pricing could redefine the way you do business
  • The misalignment of interests that hourly billing creates between service providers and clients
  • Why setting clear, flat rates can lead to better decision-making for everyone involved
  • Adopting flat fees can help anticipate project needs more accurately, align our services with client expectations, and foster transparency

Pricing Mindset: Value, Energy, and ProfitToday, I'm diving into one of the most emotionally charged topics we can have as female business owners, and that is pricing. I'm talking about how to align your pricing with the value, the energy, and the profit you want to make in business. Because here's the thing, you're not just setting a price for your service. You are truly setting the tone for how you work, who you work with, and the kind of business and life you're building.

Your pricing is just a number, and your worth is not tied to your revenue. You are worthy, period. So instead of "charging your worth," charge for the value your services provide. Your worth is infinite; nobody can pay that because you are so worthy.

In this episode, I cover: 

  • The secrets to setting prices that truly reflect your business's value
  • The power of understanding the unique transformation you offer and learning to view pricing as simply a number, not the force that dictates your worth or success
  • Tips and practical strategies for pricing with clarity, belief, and alignment

Be Curious, Not JudgmentalToday's episode is inspired by one of the best scenes from the TV show Ted Lasso. Ted shares a story about seeing a quote by Walt Whitman, which says, "Be curious, not judgmental." The quote struck me! It's an incredible mindset shift, especially when we turn it inward. Curiosity can help us reframe our mindset, challenge assumptions, and ultimately develop a more compassionate and open-minded approach to our challenges.

In this episode, I cover: 

  • How shifting our mindset, from judgment to curiosity, opens doors to personal growth and understanding
  • The transformational journey of a client who conquered her email-induced dread by replacing judgment with curiosity
  • Practical strategies to be curious, not judgmental, helping you to overcome self-imposed limits and enhance your professional and personal life

Finding Joy in the Journey with Kiah Twisselman BurchettIn today's episode, I am teaming up with Coach Kiah to share our personal journeys from being "recovering overachievers" and breaking free from the overwhelming cycle of hustle and burnout. Kiah emphasizes the concept of the "arrival fallacy," the misleading idea that reaching specific goals will bring perpetual happiness, and discovers that true contentment lies in altering our thoughts and beliefs in the present moment.​​ We also discuss the need to trust one's intuition over external opinions, emphasizing the importance of community, self-awareness, and joy in the journey.

In this episode, we cover: 

  • The mistaken belief that achieving certain goals will bring lasting happiness, and the importance of changing our thoughts and beliefs in order to find joy in the journey
  • The challenge of breaking generational cycles while navigating the need for approval from the very people we strive to grow beyond
  • How starting a business acts as a mirror, reflecting our insecurities while promoting personal growth
  • The importance of trusting one's intuition over external opinions, and how to surround yourself with people whose opinions matter

A Pause, a Shift, and a Thank You to My Former SelfIn today’s episode, I share my personal experience of embracing a pause and a shift. It was during a recent pause that I found the clarity I needed to redefine what this new phase of life post-divorce could look like. I share the key shifts that occurred, embracing growth, taking risks, and fostering self-trust. This episode is also a reminder that oftentimes the greatest growth comes from moments of stillness, not hustle.

In this episode, I cover: 

  • My personal experience of embracing rest and reflection, stepping away from the constant churn of survival mode
  • The unexpected power of stepping back and allowing curiosity, rather than fear or shame, to guide the journey of growth and self-discovery
  • An invitation for you to consider your own journey and perhaps find the courage to pause and reflect too

What Happens When You Trust YourselfIn today's special episode, I'm reflecting on this tax season and what I really leaned into and learned. After 18 tax seasons, this was the year that I got out of my head and trusted myself in a way I'd never done before. Trusting myself involved bringing on a full-time staff member, showing up authentically when new opportunities arose, and aligning business decisions with my values. 

If you're struggling in your decision-making, I encourage you to notice where you already trust yourself and where you are outsourcing that power to something outside of you. So much magic and beauty can happen when you trust yourself. 

In this episode, I cover: 

  • The value of trusting your instincts and the timing of opportunities
  • The importance of giving yourself permission to discover and challenge all beliefs
  • Practical questions that will encourage you to trust yourself

Scarcity vs. Strategy: A Better Way to Think About TaxesI have a confession for you: I am a CPA who doesn't enjoy talking about tax deductions. But there is a better way to think about taxes. 

In this episode, I'm sharing three ways to shift from a scarcity mindset to one of abundance. I want you to think about the greater possibilities beyond simply reducing your tax liability. The tax code is overly complex. So, let's focus on having cash in our businesses and making better decisions to help them become more profitable and sustainable.

In this episode, I cover: 

  • My desire for entrepreneurs to have an abundance mindset where they understand that there is always more
  • How adopting an abundance mindset is a better way to think about taxes
  • How making informed financial decisions and managing cash flow strategically can lead to sustainable growth and empower you to embrace taxes as simply a part of doing business

What If It Goes Right?Today, you are getting the raw thoughts as they come out of my head about possibilities and the question, "What if it goes right?" I heard a song recently that I had not heard before, and it was called What Could Go Right by Thomas Rhett and Lanie Gardner. 

As I was listening to this song, I couldn't help but think about how often we spend time and energy thinking about all the ways that something could go wrong versus opening up to the possibility that things could actually go right. 

What happens when we flip the script and focus on what could go right? ​​Join me as I talk about balancing fear with hope and how focusing on positive possibilities can lead to unexpected success.

In this episode, I cover: 

  • The power of focusing on positive possibilities rather than dwelling on what might go wrong
  • How balancing fear and hope can lead to unexpected success
  • The importance of maintaining a hopeful mindset even when faced with challenges

This shift is something that came up in my group program, Profit Shift, and it really struck me because it's something that can completely change the trajectory of your business.

I know this shift well because I've lived it myself in my own journey. It's easy to let each decision stand alone, but when they all start flowing together, that's when we start moving towards our bigger goals and seeing real impact.

In this episode, I cover: 

  • The importance of balancing creativity with strategy and advocating for a budget that allows experimentation without compromising profits
  • How to leverage your natural strengths to make earning money more effortless and fulfilling
  • Practical questions to consider that will help you think like a business owner

Beyond Budgeting: A More Aligned Way to Manage Your MoneyWhat if your approach to money could be less about control and more about trust? After years as a CPA, I realized that the conventional methods focusing solely on structure and discipline often lead to stress and anxiety. This episode explores a revolutionary shift in mindset: going beyond budgeting and balancing masculine energy, which offers structure and discipline, with feminine energy, which encourages flow, intuition, and trust in financial decision-making.

In this episode, I'm sharing how these energies influence our relationship with money and how they can coexist beyond budgeting without the strain of constant micromanagement. This isn't just about money management; it's about transforming your financial journey into one that's nurturing, aligned, and truly reflective of who you are.

In this episode, I cover: 

  • How to balance masculine and feminine energies in your financial life, crafting a relationship with money that emphasizes ease and abundance over control and rigidity
  • The concepts of masculine and feminine energies and how they influence our relationship with money
  • How thinking beyond budgeting can lead to sustainable financial well-being, aligning with your personal values and life's natural cycles

Breaking the Silence: How Talking About Money Helps Women Earn MoreIn this episode, we're diving into a topic that has kept so many women stuck in an under-earning cycle: the belief that talking about money is bad. So today, I'm sharing my journey of uncovering this mindset, why so many women struggle with it, and how we can shift into confidence and power when it comes to talking about money. 

Historically, women being financially independent has been a radical act. So, if you want to celebrate Women's History Month in an impactful way, start talking about money (including reaching out to me on social media if you don't have anyone else to talk to). If we don't talk about money, we don't learn about it. And if we don't learn about it, we don't change the results we get. 

In this episode, I cover: 

  • How societal norms have historically discouraged women from talking about money, contributing to the gender pay gap and financial undervaluation
  • Insights into breaking free from these outdated beliefs and adopting a mindset that celebrates financial independence and openly talking about money
  • How changing our beliefs and mindset around financial matters can create a world where women thrive financially

Finding Alignment in Business and LifeIn today's episode, I'm exploring the essential theme of alignment across all facets of life, from relationships to business and finances. Inspired by a thought-provoking reel from relationship expert Max Trombley, I'm examining how stepping back from our daily routines can help us recognize areas that are out of alignment before reaching a breaking point. 

I'm also sharing about reclaiming the power over our own happiness rather than relying on external factors or individuals. By cultivating goodness in our lives, no matter how small the gesture, we can start nurturing the life and business we aspire to achieve today. Let's embrace the concept of living fully now rather than postponing happiness for some elusive future.

In this episode, I cover: 

  • How to identify areas where your actions and goals are out of alignment and learn practical strategies to realign them
  • How to shift your perspective, build self-trust, and find joy in the present rather than waiting for external circumstances to change
  • Practical strategies like hosting a "money date" to positively engage with your finances and conducting weekly check-ins to identify what truly energizes or drains you

Live Coaching Session: “I Have Money in the Bank”Today, we have a fun episode for you because my guest, Patricia Viscount, is letting me coach her through some mindset shifts related to the finances of her copywriting business. I love these live coaching episodes because it's why I do what I do, but they also showcase that whatever you might be struggling with is not unique to you, and you may hear yourself while you hear Patricia talk.

In this live coaching session, Patricia opens up about the challenges of shifting from the security of a regular paycheck to independently managing business finances. She candidly shares her struggles with impulse spending on training and memberships, often overlooking the return on investment, which led to an uncomfortable level of debt despite her natural inclination to save. With 2024 on the horizon, Patricia has decided to implement a budget for the first time in eight years, focusing on mindful spending and strategic financial decisions that propel her business forward. 

In this episode, we cover: 

  • Patricia's raw reflections on impulse spending, the burdens of debt, and the pivotal realization that led her to implement a budget for the first time in nearly a decade
  • The need for strategic investments that genuinely propel a business forward
  • Patricia's newfound commitment to financial discipline, focusing on mindful spending and the art of saying no to tempting offers that promise quick returns but often lead to financial strain
  • Building financial resilience by customizing strategies that fit Patricia's unique business needs, such as balancing debt repayment with savings growth and consistently paying herself

The Story in Your Head vs. The Facts in Your FinancesIn today's episode, I'm sharing insights from my Profit Shift group program, designed for entrepreneurs in their first few years. Although it's common to shy away from uncomfortable financial truths, I urge you to see your numbers as neutral data points.

You'll be invited to confront the emotional reactions that financial figures can provoke, equipping you to navigate these feelings effectively. 

By embracing these emotions and revisiting the facts in your finances with a clear mindset, you'll gain the clarity needed to identify and act on areas for improvement. 

In this episode, I cover: 

  • The common tendency to shy away from uncomfortable financial truths and why you should see your numbers as neutral data points
  • How acknowledging the facts in your finances allows for strategic planning and adjustments rather than avoidance
  • Why allowing yourself to process emotions around the facts in your finances and then returning with a clear mindset can help you identify areas for improvement and actively work towards desired outcomes

    • The three key strategies I wish I had implemented sooner to hit my first $100K
    • The crucial importance of understanding the profitability of each service and client, not just in terms of revenue but also the cash, time, and energy they consume

    • The critical necessity of releasing what no longer serves you, from misaligned clients to outdated beliefs and unprofitable services

The Power of Self-Awareness with Terryn DrielingOn today’s episode, I am joined by my best friend and rural relationship guide, Terryn Drieling. Terryn shares the power of self-awareness and how the principles of stockmanship can enlighten our understanding of human communication. We also dive into how the Enneagram uncovers our own motivations and expedites self-awareness. 

    Terryn Drieling is a Rural Relationship Guide who lives and works on a large ranch in the Sandhills of Nebraska with her husband and their three kids. She believes the stockmanship principle of good movement applies no matter what species we're interacting with. Over the past several years, she’s taken what she knows about that principle, studied the Enneagram, read countless books on brain science, psychology, generational trauma, and communication. Using what she’s learned, Terryn has designed programs to help others draw good movement and navigate the highs and lows of marriage, family dynamics, and friendships in rural America.

    In this episode,we cover: 

    • How good movement, a core stockmanship principle emphasizing low-stress cattle handling, is analogous to effective human communication
    • What the Enneagram is and how we can apply it to areas like money mindset and financial decision-making
    • The critical role of mindset in financial conversations
    • The value of recognizing personal limitations and the benefits of seeking help to make informed decisions and move forward in both personal and business contexts
    • How there is no final destination to self-awareness; it’s an ongoing journey

    ]]>    On today’s episode, I reveal why a spike in sales doesn't always mean more money in the bank, or in other words, more revenue doesn’t equal more profit. This episode isn't just about identifying the problem—it's packed with practical solutions. We dissect pricing strategies, cost management, and the intentional balance of client quantity needed for true profit. I walk you through two real-world scenarios that highlight the traps of scaling too fast and the success that comes from a well-managed growth strategy. Tune in for a dose of reality and actionable insights that can prevent you from getting trapped in the cycle of increased expenses overshadowing your profit.

     

    In this episode, we cover: 

    • The untold differences between maximizing revenue vs cash flow
    • How overlooked costs devour hard-earned profits
    • The essentials of pricing strategy and cost management
    • Tools needed to ensure a healthy bottom line

CONFESSION: I'm a CPA Who Doesn't Enjoy Talking About Tax DeductionsOn today’s episode, I share a peek behind the curtain of the accounting world with a personal confession that might surprise you. While tax deductions are a crucial piece of the puzzle for business owners, I discuss why they don't bring me joy and why I believe there's a bigger financial picture to focus on. Let’s unpack the scarcity mindset that plagues many entrepreneurs, who prioritize minimizing taxes over making profitable business choices. I advocate for a strategy that emphasizes profitability and sustainability, underscoring the significance of making decisions that benefit the long-term health of the business rather than fixating on immediate tax savings. 

    In this episode, we cover: 

    • The three reasons why I don’t enjoy talking about tax deductions 
    • An alternative outlook on tax deductions
    • How a scarcity mindset ensnares business owners
    • The trap of chasing tax code tricks
    • Why strategic decisions build a profitable & sustainable future
