Exhaustion and unhappiness when it comes to both work and life seems to be rampant right now – and what most people jokingly call it but don’t realize it might actually be, is burnout. I invited Carleen Hicks to join me on the show to talk about some of the ways we view work and why it’s so exhausting, how we might all be at more of a risk for burnout than we think, and to talk about some of the ways we can be more aware of what life and work are feeling like.

Burnout risks and creating the working life you love with Carleen Hicks

On this episode of the Biz Podcast we dig in to a topic that everyone in business needs to dedicate some time to - money. We talk about some of the ways that we might lack confidence and how that impacts our business, and some of the ways we can gain confidence (and how that helps us make more money.)

Angie Cole is a dear friend of mine and when I relaunched the podcast I knew I would want to have her on as soon as possible. Her philosophies around trusting your instincts and going for the things that you want align so beautifully with mine and it’s something I think the whole world could use a bit more of.In this episode we talk about “going for it” and we got to talk a bit about the trip I took to Greece in 2020 to meet her - the trip I needed a lot of courage to take :) We talk about fear and growth and “wouldn’t it be nice” and “if only I could” and how and when to decide that you actually CAN.

Have a listen to this episode and let me know what your takeaways are and how you’ll go for it - and make sure to check out Angie on Instagram and her web site!

Going for it with Angie Cole

I believe that the more we understand about ourselves the better off we are. I’m a fan of assessment tools that allow us to see how we all different and how to lean in to the things that work for US. The Kolbe assessment was one of the assessments I personally took that helped me understand some of the ways that I felt I was different than other business owners (and that made me feel like I couldn’t be as successful as others) and then it helped me see how my strengths could be used as an advantage instead of looking for the weaknesses.

I was excited to have Eryn join me on the podcast to talk a bit about Kolbe but more than that, how insightful it is to understand ourselves better. I hope you enjoy the episode!

The way that we learn impacts so much and certainly continues having an impact well after we’re done traditional school.

I'm really excited to have Michelle Weger of Venture Creative Collective on the podcast today to talk about a belief that impacts people who struggle with their health. 

Michelle’s business specializes in website development and business automation. They create websites, processes and systems that earn business owners more money than they cost.

Running a Thriving Business with a Chronic Illness with Michelle Weger

What’s the right way to do things in your business?

Have you ever felt the need to “keep up with the Joneses?” Do you ever feel the need to keep track of what everyone around you is doing and make sure you are doing what they are doing? Do you ever suffer from fear of missing out (FOMO)?  

The belief that you need to do what everyone else is doing can put immense pressure on a person – and a business! 

In this podcast episode, I am joined by Rebecca Stanisic, a seasoned blogger at Bit of Momsense. For complete show notes visit www.thebiz.studio/thebizpodcast

Stop trying to keep up with the Joneses with Rebecca Stanisic

A belief many people have is that they must have a plan for everything in life. But sometimes life happens for itself, organically. Joining me on the podcast to discuss this belief is Angie Cole, creator of Untaming the Wild, a place for really gritty, creative, powerful women who want to create work that keeps them lit up and well-paid.
 
Angie’s clients come to her because they are interested in changing something about their work life. Many people want to start or grow their businesses. Some folks are changing careers or changing their positions. And the thing people come to her asking for is a plan. “I need a plan. I need to make more money and I need you to tell me how to do this thing!” 

We believe everything has a blueprint and we must follow the steps, and then the thing is produced and for lots of us, that just doesn't work when it comes to creating a business we really love, that is part of who we are or something that we really love and care about.

Why you don't always need a plan with Angie Cole

Season two of The Biz Podcast has focused on beliefs that hold business owners back in their businesses. This episode focuses on the belief that entrepreneurs have to work, work, work - even if it means sacrificing sleep. Joining me on this episode is Jennifer Schurer. Jenn is a CPA with a lust for learning, exploring and challenging the status quo. She built upSpace to help people. As an online marketplace for space rental, upSpace enables business owners to make a second source of income by renting out their space. As a directory and booking system, it helps individuals and businesses book space for meetings and events. Jenn sees huge opportunity for disruption in commercial real estate in Canada. In this podcast episode, she and I discuss the importance of sleep, especially for entrepreneurs and business owners.

Alexis also owns a corporate team building and training business that she has had for about six and a half years. Needless to say, Alexis has built many authentic relationships over the years.By building authentic relationships you can market and grow your business without needing a huge budget to do it.

Building Authentic Relationships with Alexis Dean

Life Coach and Success Mentor, Bethany Perry works with heart-centered visionaries who want to live a fully self-expressed life. She supports her clients in their personal development in order to improve their professional success.

Bethany joins me on the podcast to share five steps business owners can take that will lead them to success. This process helps top earners and leaders make decisions and be successful.

What is success?

One of the more tangible ways people measure success is by how much money they are making. But what about things like time, freedom, and having more energy and being happier? One of Bethany’s favourite analogies is that we can want more out of our life and out of our business and if you imagine more coming in the form of time, money, energy, happiness, imagine those things as water. If we're one cup and we want a gallon’s worth of abundance, we actually have to become a gallon container in order to be able to receive that. It’s about becoming a bigger container in our own lives so that we have the room to receive stuff. If you’re only one cup then if you get a gallon’s worth of water, you're still only going to be able to receive one cups worth. So, the tangible things like, “how much money did I make?” is one way to measure what size of a container we are. But for those of us who really value time, freedom, happiness and energy, how can we become more in our lives so that we can have more?
