Ep. 34: Designing a Business and Life That Truly Fits You

Ep. 36: The Difference Between Activity & Progress

Being busy and making progress can feel like the same thing, but they're not the same, and mixing them up is one of the sneakiest ways an early-stage business can stall without you even noticing.  In this episode, I'm breaking down the difference between activity that feels productive and progress that actually moves you toward your next client.  We'll talk about why busy work is so seductive, what real progress tends to look like (hint: it's often less exciting than you'd expect), and I'll share a simple filter you can run any task through before you commit your time to it. If you've ever ended a long week wondering what you actually accomplished, this one's for you. Are you ready to take the next step in your entrepreneurial journey?  Let’s explore how we can work together.

Ep. 35: Momentum Doesn't Feel Like Momentum

If you've been showing up consistently in your business — creating content, sending follow-ups, having conversations — and it still feels like nothing is happening, this episode is for you. In this episode, I'm getting honest about something I wish someone had told me earlier: momentum rarely feels the way we think it should. It doesn't arrive with a flood of inquiries or a surge of engagement. Most of the time, it feels slow, repetitive, and sometimes even discouraging. I share what a particularly quiet season in my own business looked like, why the doubt that crept in was so hard to shake, and the one question I learned to ask myself before considering changing everything. We also talk about the dangerous middle phase- that stretch where you've started, you're putting in the effort, but the results don't seem to match yet- and why that phase is often building far more than it appears to be. If things feel slow right now, this episode is your reminder that slow doesn't mean stuck. And quiet doesn't mean nothing is happening. Reflection question for this week: What's one thing you've kept doing even though it doesn't seem to be working yet — and what would it look like to give it just a little more time?

Ep. 34: Designing a Business and Life That Truly Fits You

In this episode of My Entrepreneurial Journey with Yaritza Báez, I’m joined by Leslie Gaudet for a conversation that will resonate deeply with women who have built successful careers but feel exhausted, unfulfilled, or ready for something different. We talk about what it really means to design a business and life that truly fits you not the ideal version you see online, but one that aligns with your values, energy, and real-life responsibilities. Leslie shares her perspective on the internal shifts that happen when women begin to question their current path, especially those coming from structured careers like the legal field, and the tension between stability and the desire for change. We also explore practical ways to begin making that transition without feeling like you’re throwing everything away. If you’ve ever felt like something needs to change, but you’re not sure where to start, this conversation will give you both perspective and a place to begin.

Ep. 33: Staying in the Game Life Pulls You Out of Rhythm

In this episode of My Entrepreneurial Journey, I talk honestly about something many women entrepreneurs experience but rarely discuss openly: what happens when life suddenly pulls you out of rhythm while you’re trying to build momentum in your business. After dealing with the flu, recovering from a knee injury, and feeling unexpectedly isolated from the routines and connections that normally ground me, I realized how quickly discouragement and emotional exhaustion can affect not only our energy but also how we see ourselves and our businesses. This episode is a conversation about emotional resilience beyond productivity, consistency, and hustle. We talk about loneliness, overwhelm, slower seasons, and what it really means to stay in the game without abandoning yourself in the process. If you’ve been feeling emotionally tired, disconnected, or questioning yourself lately, this episode is for you.

Ep. 32 Conversations, Not Content What Actually Creates Momentum

In the early stages of building a business, it’s easy to believe that more content is the answer. More posts. More learning. More trying to figure it out. But what if the real reason things feel stuck… isn’t a lack of effort? In this episode, I’m sharing a shift that completely changed how I approach business. I talk about: * Why posting consistently isn’t always what creates momentum * The role conversations play in building a business that actually works * How to tell if what you’re doing is working—or if it needs adjusting * The difference between refining your approach and constantly starting over Because most of the time, it’s not failure. It’s refinement. And the sooner you stop guessing and start having real conversations. The faster things begin to move. If your business feels slow right now, this episode will help you see what’s actually happening and what to focus on next.
