This episode is all about something I see come up often for ambitious women and entrepreneurs: the tension between having a plan and staying flexible when life inevitably throws a curveball.

I absolutely believe in having a plan. It gives you clarity, direction, and helps build momentum. But what I don’t believe in is rigid planning that leaves you feeling behind, ashamed, or stuck the moment things don’t go exactly as expected. Life rarely follows a straight line, and that doesn’t mean you’re doing it wrong.

I share my own experiences with setting goals, falling off track, and learning how to get back on track without spiraling into self-criticism. I share about why getting back on track is far more realistic than staying perfectly on track, and how flexibility actually makes your plans stronger, not weaker.

This episode is especially for you if you’re heading into a new year or new season of life and feeling pressure to do it “right.” Instead of waiting for the perfect moment, I invite you to focus on small, intentional actions you can start or continue right now. We also explore the importance of letting go of what no longer fits so you can create space for what truly aligns with your values.

If you’ve ever felt controlled by your plan instead of supported by it, this conversation will help you reframe planning as a tool for growth, confidence, and forward movement rather than a measuring stick for your worth.

Key Takeaways:

• A plan is meant to support you, not control you. Your plan is a tool. You’re allowed to change it when your life, priorities, or energy change.

• Getting back on track matters more than staying on track. Life will knock you off course. That’s normal. The skill is learning how to return without judgment or wasted emotional energy.

• Flexibility is not failure, it’s necessary. Adjusting your plan doesn’t mean you lacked discipline. It means you’re paying attention and responding intentionally.

• Small, consistent actions create real momentum. You don’t need a full life overhaul. Tiny, aligned steps taken regularly are incredibly powerful.

• Letting go creates space for alignment. Releasing habits, goals, or commitments that no longer serve you opens the door for growth and opportunities that fit who you are now and who you’re becoming.

• You are an active participant in your life design. Your future isn’t something that just happens to you. You get to choose, adjust, and intentionally shape it as you go.

"Failure is success in progress" - Albert Einstein

In this episode, I’m digging into one of my favorite (and most uncomfortable) topics: failure, and why it’s never the final word, and how important it is to reframe failure and learn from the messy middle of entrepreneurship.

I’m sharing why I believe failure only truly happens when we stop trying and how reflecting on our past missteps can actually guide us toward clearer, more aligned goals. As I prep for the new year, I’ve been working on being curious when I look at the things that didn’t go as planned (#ADHDlife) and asking what those moments are trying to teach me.

We talk about why success has to be defined on our own terms, how to stay curious instead of critical, and why perfection has no place in sustainable entrepreneurship. I also share a few behind-the-scenes stories, and a pretty vulnerable example, about how I used those experiences to adjust, improve, and move forward.

If you’ve been feeling stuck, disappointed, or spiraling in self-doubt, this episode is a reminder that your “failures” are often your best teachers.

✨ Key Takeaways

• Failure isn’t final—quitting is. Most setbacks are simply data, feedback, or redirection.
  

• Reflection allows for clarity. Looking back with compassion helps you see what worked, what didn’t, and where you want to go next.
  

• Curiosity beats criticism. Approaching mistakes with openness leads to more useful insights than judging yourself.
  

• ADHD and entrepreneurship are messy—but powerful. Detours, unfinished plans, and imperfect follow-through aren’t moral failings; they’re part of the process.
  

• Learning happens through doing. From workshops to daily decision-making, each “mistake” becomes a stepping-stone when you keep moving forward.
  

• Course-corrections are normal. Realigning your goals doesn’t mean you failed; it means you’re paying attention to what you actually need.
  

• You’re not alone in the hard parts. Every entrepreneur—yes, even the wildly successful ones—has stumbled, recalibrated, and kept going.

Today’s episode is all about something I think we all need a little more of: intentional reflection. I share why reflecting on your wins, challenges, and growth from 2025 (or any season of life) is one of the most powerful ways to set yourself up for meaningful progress. This episode is all about baby steps, honest self-awareness, and aligning your life with your actual values instead of the “shoulds” or the pressure to overhaul everything overnight.

I also talk through:

• How to reflect without spiraling into shame or self-criticism

• Why small, consistent actions matter WAY more than dramatic life overhauls

• How to use your past experiences (yes, including mistakes) as a guide, not a weapon

• What to do when life shifts your path in unexpected ways. When goals don’t happen, there’s always a reason, and it’s a solvable one. Instead of blaming yourself, look for gaps, needs, and missing support.

• Intentional living happens through tiny, aligned choices. You don’t need to blow up your life to change it. You just need to start where you are.

• The role accountability, community, and support can play in keeping you grounded and moving forward
  

Plus, I share a behind-the-scenes peek at the January planning workshop I’m creating, along with some of the reflection questions and prompts I’m building out for it.

If you’re craving clarity, direction, and a gentle reset, this episode is perfect for you.
