  • [EP 30] "I’ll Take Care of It" Is Killing Your Leadership—and Other Habits That Burn You Out
    May 27 2025

    If you ever find yourself working harder each day but not really moving the needle, feeling stretched thin by endless meetings, or stuck re-solving the same problems, you’re not alone—and you might be running on a path that leads straight to burnout.

    In today’s conversation, I’ll walk you through the telltale signs that you’re trapped in growth mode, and why simply grinding harder isn’t a sustainable solution. I’ll share stories from my own coaching clients and personal journey, highlighting real-world shifts that help leaders move into a place of sustainable impact. We’ll explore how to make decisions faster, delegate more effectively, and build the kind of emotional capacity needed to support yourself and your team—without having to keep piling on more hours or stress.

    If you’re ready to stop just “getting by” and start multiplying your impact (without multiplying your exhaustion), you’re in the right place. Let’s figure out how to transition your leadership from growth to scale—and reclaim your energy, clarity, and long-term influence. Let’s get started!

    What You’ll Learn:

    • 5 signs you’re stuck in growth mode (and how to recognize them)

    • Why more effort isn’t the solution—it’s the problem

    • The mindset shift every leader must make to scale their impact

    • How to build emotional capacity and lead without doing everything yourself

    • How to give meaningful feedback (without emotional baggage)

    Client Stories Inside:

    • Matt: The overwhelmed leader juggling global expansion and team drama

    • A business owner stuck in indecision around her “best and final offer”

    If You’re Asking:

    • Why am I working harder but getting less done?

    • Why is delegating so hard?

    • How can I stop being the bottleneck?

    …you’re in the right place.

  • [EP 29] Getting Financially Naked: Building Money Confidence with Amy Scott
    Apr 30 2025

    On this week's episode, Audrey talks with Amy Scott, a financial coach specializing in helping women and couples redefine their relationships with money. Amy shares how she transitioned from traditional financial advising to financial coaching to better align with her passion for holistic financial wellness.

    Amy discusses the emotional barriers and hidden shame many feel around money, particularly women, and how financial transparency can break these cycles. She emphasizes that true peace of mind around finances doesn't come simply from having more money, but from having a clear, intentional plan. Audrey and Amy also discuss how money affects identity, the psychological patterns that keep us stuck, and how to create sustainable change through mindset shifts and practical planning.

    If you're tired of feeling financially stuck or secretly stressed about money, this episode will help you start to move toward real clarity, confidence, and freedom.

  • [EP 28] What's the Difference Between the Pain of Change and the Pain of Staying the Same?
    Apr 22 2025

    Not all pain is the same. In this episode, I’m inviting you to look at the discomfort you’ve grown used to—the kind that keeps you stuck. Because here’s the truth: change can hurt, yes. But so can staying exactly where you are.

    If you’ve been circling a decision, resisting a move, or telling yourself “it’s not that bad,” this one’s for you. You might be surprised by what you're tolerating. And more than that—you might be ready to choose the discomfort that actually leads to growth.

    In this episode, I talk about:

    • Why staying the same also carries pain (you just stopped noticing it)

    • The subtle ways you adapt to discomfort and start calling it normal

    • What LA traffic taught me about invisible stress

    • Why you don’t have to wait for a crisis to choose change

    • A reflection prompt to help you decide what’s next

    • How coaching can help when you’re ready but unsure where to begin
