I’m sharing these branding truths with you not because I got it all right—but because I didn’t. Hopefully, they’ll save you a few wrong turns along the way, and help you create a brand that will last the test of time. Whether you’re trying to create and promote yourself, and your personal brand, launching product or service-based company, or finding your stride as a solopreneur, this post is for you!

One minute I’m pitching a client or conducting a one-on-one meeting with a team member, and the next I’m picking up a sick kiddo from school and making soup. But would I change it? Before I steal my own thunder, let’s dig into the hard-won lessons that have made me a better business owner over the past decade, and a more attentive and present mom.

Spring cleaning isn’t just for your junk drawer and that haunted corner of your closet. It’s also the perfect time to take a good, honest look at your personal brand—and whether it’s still working for who you are right now.

Diving into the entrepreneurial realm is like bounding onto the wildest roller coaster—thrilling, unpredictable, and just a touch bonkers! As a small business owner, you’re not merely peddling a product or service; you’re weaving a brand narrative that captivates, resonates, and dares to stand out in a crowded marketplace. Your brand isn’t just a catchy logo or a quirky jingle—it’s the very lifeblood of your venture!

In a world where solo businesses are on the rise (hello, 84% surge!), standing out from the crowd is more critical than ever. Your personal brand isn’t just a logo or a tagline; it’s the spotlight that makes your business shine brighter than a disco ball at a Friday night dance party. It’s how you build trust, attract your dream clients, and pave your way to success. Whether you’re juggling client calls or navigating the ever-terrifying QuickBooks, your brand should be stealing the show.

There’s something magical about a book that completely takes over your life—the kind that makes you ignore laundry, bedtime, and possibly your own personal hygiene (no judgment). And since I’m nothing if not a giver, I’m here to share my favorite reads of 2025 so far.

These books have inspired me, entertained me, and in one case, made me question my entire relationship with Chardonnay. So, grab your favorite blanket and let’s dive in.

In your 20’s, it’s easy to fall into the trap of comparing yourself to others. Whether it’s your friend who just bought a new outfit and you wonder how they afford it, a stranger running past you on the street and thinking, Why can’t I run as fast as them?, or a schoolmate who’s been traveling the world and you feel like you’re wasting your life by not doing the same—comparison is a natural tendency. But while it’s an instinct we all have, it doesn’t mean it’s always helpful.

In today’s society, it may feel as though women leaders are visibly thriving and showcasing their talents. While this is partially true, it is crucial now more than ever to actively pursue leadership roles that empower women. The difficulty arises because many women, myself included in the past, often hesitate to take charge and assume leadership positions. This hesitation is not without reason; women in leadership frequently face ostracism or criticism for being perceived as overly aggressive or “bulldog-like.”

When I first started my business, I was a new mom with a one-year-old who had just discovered the art of toddler tantrums. The idea of launching a business at that stage seemed borderline lunacy—not just to everyone I mentioned it to but also to myself. So instead of diving in, I tiptoed. Here’s what I learned about balancing life and career as a working mom.

As a working mom and business owner, I’ve learned that focusing on my strengths and building intentional habits is way more effective (and less exhausting) than trying to bulldoze my perceived weaknesses. That’s why every January, I trade the pressure-cooker resolutions for my trusty “Intentional Habits Workbook.” Think of it as a roadmap to a year that feels like me—but a little more organized, intentional, and, dare I say… fun.

Whether you’re looking for page-turning fiction, soul-nourishing podcasts, or quick escapes between the chaos of motherhood, we’ve curated a list for every moment you can spare as you round things out for 2024 and look forward to 2025. Here are some of the best books and podcasts we couldn’t get enough of this year.

After years of getting it wrong, this serial mompreneur and podcast host is here to tell you a key lesson in the life of a busy woman: You will be way more effective, successful, and satisfied in life if you take moments of transition (like the end of one year, before moving into the next), to pause and reflect before jumping on board the plane of planning, setting resolutions, and goals, and launching off into the sunrise without checking your past-history fuel tanks – because let’s face it, you’re not jetting off anywhere with empty tanks.

The fantastic thing about finding and establishing relationships with women who can mentor you is that these guardian angels or fairy godmothers are not just career guides; they’re also life coaches, your most passionate cheerleaders, and the supportive besties you need. And, here’s the best part: the unrealized mentors in your life are already at your fingertips. You just have to tap into your desire to be mentored and your willingness to be humble enough to seek out the right one.

Here’s the deal. I can’t give you a magic pill to achieve your goals. I’m not going to sit here and tell you that I have a secret formula to success or that you’re even necessarily on the right track. What I will tell you is that I’ve tried and failed at many things in life, from relationships to businesses. I’ve also tried and succeeded in just as many adventures. Along the way, I’ve learned a few things about staying committed to goals in life and in business as a woman and a mother. Are you ready? Let’s dig in.

Over my many years of experience testing, failing, launching and relaunching my business ideas, I’ve found that there are some key elements to finding success with your growing business. Equip yourself with these strategies, designed to guide you through the bustling marketplace and help you serve up a feast of actualization.

If you’re dying to escape the professional trap you find yourself in. If you have a business idea that you are itching to start. Or, you just want more flexibility with your family, I’m excited to share some of what I’ve learned as a woman business owner, and mompreneur with over ten years of experience starting businesses, failing at businesses, and getting back up to try again.

Just the word “change” used to make my skin crawl. Alright, who am I kidding? It still does. You have no doubt heard the age-old saying that “nothing is constant but change.” As much as I hate to admit it, I have repeatedly been on the receiving end of this valuable yet challenging and often painful truth over my forty-two, almost forty-three years.
