Where You Water It

10: Trading Jealousy for Joy ft. Mya Hull

Have you ever found yourself scrolling through social media only to end up with that "pit" in your stomach? It’s that subtle sting of jealousy when you see someone else’s highlight reel, making your own progress feel small or stagnant. We often call it "comparison" because it sounds nicer, but if we’re being honest, it’s a jealousy that robs us of the very joy we started our businesses to find. In this episode, I’m joined by Mya Hull, the founder of 41 and a seasoned mentor who has spent over a decade leading women to the highest levels of success. Mya shares her journey of moving from a career built on accolades to a "surrendered posture" where she finally learned to stop looking left and right. We dive into how to trade comparison for an authentic sense of contentment.

9: Health, Fitness, and Entrepreneurship ft. Darla McCarty

"The work will always be there, but your health will not." Have you ever hit a wall where your business is thriving, but your body is screaming for a break? Or perhaps you’ve felt that "decision fatigue" at 5:00 PM when the thought of choosing a healthy dinner feels more taxing than a board meeting? In this episode, I’m joined by Darla McCarty, the powerhouse founder of Ms. New Booty Fitness. With nearly 17 years in the industry, Darla shares about her journey as a health and lifestyle coach for high-achieving women. She shares her incredible journey from a client telling her she was "worth more" than a gym percentage to building a virtual fitness business that followed her from Hawaii to Colorado. In this episode, we discuss: * The "Burnout Signal": How to recognize when your body is living in survival mode and why entrepreneurs are particularly prone to "decisional fatigue." * The 60-Minute Myth: Why you don't need a massive time block to see results, and how 10-minute "movement snacks" can revolutionize your consistency. * The Fountain of Youth: Why Darla prioritizes strength training over 10K steps and how physical resilience translates directly into business grit. * Mindset over Motivation: Learning to give "100% of your 20%" and why the "Let Them Theory" is a game-changer for recovering perfectionists.

We are breaking down 3 ways to elevate your experience: * Automations That Help: Why an auto responder and a call scheduler are non-negotiable for giving your clients peace of mind from minute one. * The No Surprises Rule: Why overcommunicating is the secret to keeping clients happy even when life gets messy or projects get delayed. * The Personal Touch: How I use handwritten cards and branded merch to turn clients into lifelong fans.
