Today’s conversation is a little different, but one I think many entrepreneurs need to hear. We’re talking about hobbies. Not side hustles. Not productive downtime. Real hobbies that exist simply because they bring you joy. Somewhere along the way, many of us stopped doing things for fun and started measuring everything by its usefulness. In this episode, I’m sharing why hobbies matter, how they fuel creativity, and why reconnecting with life outside of work might be exactly what your busines...

Watch on Youtube We’re officially halfway through the year, and in this episode of That Big CEO Energy, I’m talking about something that might be impacting your life more than you realize: your calendar. This isn’t about productivity hacks or color-coded schedules. It’s about getting honest about the life you’re actively building, the commitments draining you, and whether your systems actually support the goals you say you want. I’m sharing my own mid-year reflections, what I’ve removed from ...

In this episode of That Big CEO Energy, I’m asking you to get honest about what you’re avoiding and why. I break down why it’s usually not a time problem—it’s a starting problem—because we tie starting to finishing and treat everything like it requires 100% of our energy. Here’s what you’ll learn: - How attaching “starting” to “finishing” keeps you stuck (and how to break that pattern) - How to lower the entry point to create momentum without needing perfect conditio...

In this episode of That Big CEO Energy, I share why I don’t believe you’re “reactive” as a personality trait—you’re unpracticed at pausing. I break down how our brains chase familiarity, fill in gaps with assumptions, and move too fast from feeling to acting, then I share how therapy and my relationship with my daughter taught me to build capacity by creating space before responding so I can choose what happens next. You’ll learn: - Why reaction is a rehearsed pattern (not your ...

In this final Monday Moment episode of That Big CEO Energy, I share a real-talk pep talk about why I’m done with shrinking to make other people comfortable. I break down what “shrinking” can look like in real life—downplaying what I’m doing, lowering my prices, softening my voice, or making myself smaller so I don’t intimidate anyone—and why that only leads to resentment, burnout, and a business that doesn’t reflect who I am. This week (and beyond), I challenge you to stop apologizing, ...

In this Monday Moment episode of That Big CEO Energy, I share a quick pep talk for anyone starting the week feeling behind. I talk about how comparing my behind-the-scenes to someone else’s Instagram highlight reel makes it easy to believe I’m failing, even though I’m not seeing the years of building, failed launches, pivots, mistakes, and almost-give-up moments that came before their breakthrough. This week, I challenge you to stop comparing your timeline, unfollow accounts that make you f...

Ever feel like “big CEO energy” means constantly proving you’re credible? In this episode of That Big CEO Energy, I’m breaking down the mindset shift that changed everything for me: real authority isn’t something I perform—it’s something I decide. I talk about what proving looks like (over-explaining, nonstop content, stacking credentials), why it’s exhausting, and how it can actually signal insecurity and invite people to question my leadership. I share why my job isn’t to make everyone unde...

In this Monday Moment episode of Big CEO Energy, I share a quick pep talk about why your goals don’t care about your feelings, and how letting motivation, confidence, or fear dictate your actions keeps you stuck. This week, I challenge you to do one thing you’ve been avoiding—send the email, show up on stories, make the sales call, publish the post—even if you don’t feel like it. Timestamps: 01:28 Goals Over Feelings 02:59 Consistency Beats Mood 03:20 My Messy Middle Proo...

In this episode, I talk about how entrepreneurs often outsource decisions by polling social media, friends, competitors, or even ChatGPT, and how letting in too many voices creates confusion and pulls you away from your own clarity. I outline how to build CEO self-trust by sitting with decisions before seeking input, tuning into what feels right for you, committing to choices even without 100% certainty, and using others’ feedback as data rather than the decision. I also describe practicing...

In this Monday Moment episode of Big CEO Energy, I share a quick pep talk about how waiting to feel “ready” or for things to be perfect is keeping us stuck. This week, I challenge you to do one thing you’ve been delaying—send the email, raise your prices, make the ask—before you feel ready.
