Picture this: you cross six figures in revenue…and take home two grand. Ouch. In this week’s conversation with business money coach Belinda Rosenblum of Own Your Money, we dig into the difference between having a business and actually owning it—especially your profit. Belinda shares how she went from barely breaking even to hitting a 40% margin in just one year, and the mindset shift that made it possible: stop chasing topline revenue and start planning for profit.

We talk about how to take control of your money story, create simple systems, and build a strategy that allows you to pay yourself on purpose. Belinda also shares how to manage inconsistent income without panic and why real profit isn’t an accident—it’s a plan.

If you’re ready to own your money, this one’s for you.

Back-to-school mornings don’t have to feel like chaos. In this episode, we share seven practical strategies to help families win the morning and the day. From carving out “you time” before the kids wake up, to prepping the night (and week) before, we’ve found simple routines that cut down on stress. Visual checklists keep kids on track, breakfast becomes grab-and-go, and a launch zone near the door means no more scrambling for backpacks and shoes. We also talk about car kits for those last-minute saves, and how outsourcing or automating small tasks frees up space for connection.

Ever feel like your to-do list is running you instead of the other way around? We’ve been there. In this episode, we’re talking about the shift every leader needs to make—from constantly reacting to the latest crisis to proactively creating the clarity your business and life need to grow. We’ll share how to spot when you’ve slipped into reactive mode, why it puts a lid on your leadership, and what’s truly at stake if you stay there. Then we’ll walk you through five strategies to help you reclaim your mornings, focus on the work that matters most, create intentional white space, empower your team to self-solve, and protect the boundaries that keep you moving forward. Whether you’re feeling burnt out, stuck in busyness, or just ready to lead with more purpose, this conversation will help you trade chaos for clarity and build an empire with strategy.

Negotiation is everything in real estate, and today we’re breaking down the core steps that make all the difference. We talk about why building real connections with everyone involved (even the other agent) gives you an edge, and how asking the right questions—and actually listening—leads to better results. We’re sharing the power of small counters, how to negotiate the whole package (not just price), and why your words and even a little silence matter more than you think. Whether you’re in real estate or any field where deals happen, these steps will help you win for your clients.

Stay tuned for part two, where we’ll get even more tactical about representing sellers.

Ever found yourself drowning in work and thinking, “I know I need help, but I’m scared to hire”? We get it. In this episode, we’re talking about how to recognize the signs that you need leverage—whether it’s at home or in your business—and how to approach getting help in a smart, strategic way.

From physical and emotional warning signs to missed opportunities with your team, clients, and family, we break down a simple framework to identify the pain points and explore practical solutions. And no, it doesn’t always mean hiring a full-time employee. Sometimes the answer is a better system, a tech tool, a part-time virtual assistant, or even a 12-week contractor. We’re sharing real examples of how we’ve bought back our time and made powerful hires—without the overwhelm.

This week, we’re breaking down a simple content creation framework to help you move past the blank page and start sharing messages that actually convert.

If you’re ready to create content that moves people to action, this episode is your starting point.

Mindset can feel abstract, but today’s conversation with Elaine Stageberg brings it down to earth. Elaine has built a $400 million real estate portfolio, leads a private equity firm, and is a trained psychiatrist and mom of five. She shows us how practical time management, goal setting, and a willingness to sit with discomfort form the foundation for real growth.

We talk about why real estate is the ultimate test—and teacher—of mindset, and how every big decision stretches us to new levels of belief. Elaine shares how to help our teams (and ourselves) get comfortable being uncomfortable, reframe negative stories, and become the kind of leaders who can handle anything. Her insights apply to business, family, and anyone ready to level up.
