In this episode of Your Big Next, I’m sharing the backstory behind the book—the moments of breakdown, the alignment that followed, and how God led me to build something far beyond my own strength. This isn’t just about a launch. It’s about a calling. I talk about what it means to shift from force to overflow, to build with faith over formulas, and how to discern true success from the kind that looks good on paper but costs you everything behind the scenes. If you’ve ever felt like you’re building someone else’s version of success—or like your faith and your business have been living in separate lanes—this episode is for you. Inside, I share: 📖 The story behind Your Big Next—and why I had to write it now 💡 What happens when we build without God (even if we say we’re doing it for Him) ⚠️ The hidden danger of chasing the “wrong success” ⚡ Why most entrepreneurial growth strategies ignore the internal transformation 🧭 How to recalibrate your life, business, and leadership to actually align with your faith and values 🍼 A very real update from the frontlines of motherhood, contractions, and creativity We’re not meant to build from burnout, or hustle our way into legacy.

If the thought of stepping away from your business—for maternity leave, vacation, or even just a real pause—makes you feel anxious, you’re not alone. In this episode, I’m sitting down with Aly Caffery, founder of Master Maternity Leave and a total powerhouse in operational strategy and business systems. Aly has helped countless high-achieving founders design businesses that don’t fall apart when they step away—instead, they keep growing.

We dive into what it really takes to create margin without losing momentum—and how to design a business that serves your life, not the other way around. Inside this episode, we cover: 🛠 Aly’s background in high-growth companies and what she learned about sustainable scale 🎯 The four key systems every business needs to run without you 📆 The 90-90 principle and how to apply it to maternity leave (or any extended time off) 📣 How to communicate clearly with clients so your boundaries are respected 🏡 Building rhythms that allow you to be present with your family and grow your business 🔥 Why flexibility isn’t the enemy of success—it’s the secret to longevity 🧠 Aly’s simple mindset shift that helps founders delegate with confidence and clarity This episode isn’t just about maternity leave—it’s about leadership.

| 294. How I Prepared for Maternity Leave By Building a Business That Doesn’t Break When I Step Away | 29 sept. 2025 | 00:25:59 | |
If you've ever wondered how to take a true break from your business—whether for maternity leave, a sabbatical, or even just to breathe—this episode is for you. As I prepared to welcome baby number six (yes, six!), I felt the familiar pull to just “power through.” But this time, I made a different decision. I chose to lead differently—and I’m sharing exactly how I did it. In this episode of Your Big Next, I walk you through how I structured my business for maternity leave: from delaying launches (including my book!) to integrating AI tools that actually support my team, to hiring with intention so the business could run without me in the day-to-day. This isn’t about stepping away and hoping things don’t fall apart—it’s about building a business that can thrive in your absence because it’s built on systems, stewardship, and support. Inside this episode, I share: 👶 Why I resisted the urge to “push through” this season 📅 What it looked like to pause big projects (like my book launch!) to protect my peace 🛠 How I prepared my team, integrated AI, and built systems that allow space without sacrifice 📹 The role of tools like Loom and how I used them to document leadership thinking Whether you're planning for maternity leave or you just know it's time to step back without stepping away, this episode will help you create the margin your leadership needs—without compromising the mission you're building.

| 293. Be Like Charlie: Conviction Over Comfort by Denouncing A Lukewarm Life | 22 sept. 2025 | 00:49:40 | |
This episode is personal, raw, and necessary. It’s not a commentary on the headlines or a breakdown of what happened. It’s a reckoning. A heart check. A call to ask ourselves: Am I really living with conviction? Am I leading in alignment with what I believe—even when it’s inconvenient, uncomfortable, or costly? In this episode of Your Big Next, I reflect on the life and legacy of Charlie Kirk—his courage, his clarity, and his unwillingness to live lukewarm. His recent death shook something loose in me. And while I didn’t record this to analyze the noise, I couldn’t stay silent either. This is for the leaders who are feeling the tension. Who know they’re being called to rise. Who feel the urgency to stop playing small and start leading with truth. Inside this episode, I share: 🔥 The internal reckoning I felt after learning of Charlie’s death 💬 Why leadership that avoids discomfort isn’t leadership at all 🧭 The cultural pressure to water down our convictions—and what it costs us ⚡ The difference between performance and purpose in leadership 🛡 Why now is the time for bold, truth-centered leadership in business, parenting, and culture 📣 A call to live in such alignment that your actions preach louder than your words 👣 What it means to honor a legacy—not just in words, but in the way we live, lead, and raise the next generation This isn’t about Charlie alone—it’s about us. About what we choose to build, how we show up, and whether we’re willing to lead from courage rather than comfort. If you feel like you’re being asked to rise—this episode is your reminder: you were born for this moment. Resources from this episode:

In this episode of Your Big Next, I’m joined by Stefanie Gass—a powerhouse business coach, podcasting strategist, and faith-filled founder who’s built a wildly successful business by doing things differently. Stef’s story is one a lot of us can relate to: starting out in hustle-heavy network marketing, hitting a wall, and realizing that success without alignment just isn’t it. Through clarity, obedience, and a bold leap into podcasting, she built a kingdom business that not only thrives—but serves deeply. We talk about the real journey behind her growth, what it looks like to create a profitable podcast without the burnout, and how podcasting can be one of the most powerful tools for building trust, nurturing community, and growing your business with long-term momentum.

| 291. Why Most CEO Advice Fails Faith-Focused Founders & How to Lead with Bold Alignment | 08 sept. 2025 | 00:25:22 | |
In this episode of Your Big Next, I’m sharing with you what it’s really looked like to weave my faith into the way I lead—not just in life, but in business. For a long time, I followed the traditional path... listening to the mentors, applying the strategies, doing all the things that “should” work. But it often left me feeling off. Misaligned. Like I was building something that looked right on paper—but didn’t feel right in my spirit. Maybe you’ve felt that too. So today, I’m sharing the moments that challenged me to choose obedience over approval, discernment over default, and peace over performance. This isn’t about burning it all down—it’s about building differently. With God at the center. With integrity in your leadership. And with a definition of success that actually aligns with your calling. In this episode, I talk about: 🙏 Why separating faith from business never really worked for me 💡 The difference between advice that sounds smart—and wisdom that’s aligned 🛑 What happened when I walked away from high-level mentorships and flashy strategies 💬 The cost of being misunderstood—and why it’s worth it when you’re being obedient 📊 Why I stopped chasing KPIs and started pursuing “worthy exhaustion” ⚖️ The three leadership models I see in founders: the hustler, the steward, and the legacy builder 🌱 Why margin isn’t a luxury—it's the foundation for obedience, clarity, and real growth If you’re building something that’s meant to last... something that aligns with your faith, your family, and your future—this episode is for you.

| 290. You’ve Outgrown the Way You’re Succeeding: When Success Stops Feeling Successful, It’s Time to Move into Your Big Next | 01 sept. 2025 | 00:23:26 | |
This episode of Your Big Next is for the high-achieving founder who’s quietly wondering, “Why doesn’t this feel aligned anymore?” You’ve grown. Your business has grown. But something’s off—and deep down, you know it’s not a strategy issue. It’s a stewardship shift. I’m getting honest about what it looks like to outgrow your current model of success—and how we unknowingly become the very bottleneck to our next big possibility. I call it the Invisible Success Trap—when the strategies that once created growth start to create pressure, misalignment, and internal resistance. In this episode, I walk you through: 🔍 The subtle signs you’ve outgrown your old model of success ⚠️ The Invisible Success Trap—and how to know if you’re in it 💭 Identity audits: what they are and why they’re essential for reinvention 🛠 Tactical steps to recalibrate your leadership and align with your next season 🧠 Patterns that keep high achievers stuck (like the performer + the ghost) 🤝 The value of building a personal board of advisors for grounded decision-making ✨ An invitation to step into personal mentorship if you’re ready for what’s next Resources from this episode:

| 289. When You No Longer Trust Your Leadership (And What to Do Before It Derails Your Business) | 25 août 2025 | 00:23:36 | |
As entrepreneurs, we often think our next level is just one strategy or system away. But what I’ve seen over and over again—in my clients and in myself—is that the real bottleneck isn’t out there. It’s us. In this episode of Your Big Next, I’m talking about a silent leadership crisis that far too many high-level founders face but rarely acknowledge: the self-doubt, the second-guessing, the decision fatigue, and the pressure to stay in control when what’s really needed is capacity. I break down the difference between control and capacity, and introduce a framework I use with my private clients called the Leadership Flywheel—built on clarity, conviction, and capacity. This is the key to unlocking leadership that actually scales. If you’ve been feeling stuck, like your business is growing but your confidence is shrinking—or you’re constantly in the weeds, unable to lead at the level you know you’re capable of—this one’s for you. In this episode, I share: 🧠 The quiet mindset blocks that show up as bottlenecks in leadership ⚡ Why control isn’t the answer—and how to shift into true capacity 🛠 The Leadership Flywheel: a simple framework to reset how you lead 📅 How your schedule might be working against your visionary role 🔍 A powerful belief audit to help you rebuild trust in yourself 📣 Plus: A personal invite to my free masterclass to help you reset your leadership and reclaim your next level You don’t need more pressure. You need more perspective. Let’s talk about how to step into the version of leadership your business is actually asking for. Resources from this episode:

| 288. Legacy > Launches: Burned Out by the Hustle? How I’m Trading Launches for Longevity & Leadership | 18 août 2025 | 00:24:52 | |
We’ve been told to believe that launching was the way to grow. That if we aren’t constantly pushing out a new offer or sprinting toward the next big thing, we will fall behind. But the truth? That model led me straight to burnout—and it wasn’t aligned with the business or the life I truly wanted to build. In this episode of Your Big Next, I’m sharing the major shift I’ve made in my business: moving away from the constant launch cycle and stepping into a legacy-building model that feels way more grounded, intentional, and sustainable. These are the moments that woke me up to this shift, the cost of living in launch mode, and the four-part framework I now use to lead from overflow—not pressure. Pace over push. Priority over pressure. Presence over performance. Profit over proving. This is how we build differently. And this is how we create businesses that actually support the lives we want to live. If you’re craving more space, more peace, and more profitability without the constant grind, this episode is for you. Inside this episode, I share: 🔥 The real cost of launch fatigue—and how it shows up in high-level businesses 💭 What redefining success looked like for me (and why it might for you too) 📈 How I shifted my business model to one rooted in sustainability and overflow 🛠 Practical changes I made to align my work with my values 🎯 The 4-step framework I now use to lead with clarity, margin, and impact 📣 A personal invitation to my free Overflow Masterclass to help you make this shift too Resources from this episode:

| 287. The $200,000 Shift: Investing in You is the Most Strategic Move You’ll Ever Make | 11 août 2025 | 00:33:45 | |
This episode of Your Big Next is a personal one—and a powerful one. I’m pulling back the curtain on the over $200,000 I’ve invested in myself in just the first half of this year… and why I believe that self-investment is the move every visionary leader must make if they want to scale sustainably. You may hear a lot of talk about investing in systems, ads, funnels, and tools—but your business will never outgrow the capacity of its leader. If you're trying to build a big next chapter on a small foundation, something’s going to give. I’m sharing exactly where that investment went—from financial strategy to mentorship to health to creative development—and the incredible ROI that’s already showing up because of it. In this episode, I break down: 💰 The $200,000 shift I made—and why I’d do it again in a heartbeat 🧠 Why personal investment trumps any tool or tactic when it comes to long-term growth ⚡️ How to break out of scarcity thinking (even when you’re already successful) 🏗 What it looks like to build a team that supports your next-level vision This isn’t about spending recklessly—it’s about investing intentionally in the one thing your business cannot grow without: you.

If you’ve built a capable team but still feel like everything flows through you, chances are—you’re the bottleneck. And that’s not a failure… it’s a signal that it’s time to evolve your leadership. In this episode, I’m breaking down why so many high-performing entrepreneurs get stuck in maintenance mode, even with a talented team in place. We’ll unpack the difference between simple delegation and true ownership, and why your business can’t scale if you’re still the one holding all the decisions. I’ll share the exact mindset and structural shifts I teach my private clients to help them stop micromanaging and start multiplying. This is how you move from overwhelmed manager to intentional builder—and how your team becomes a true extension of your vision. Inside this episode, we cover: 🔄 Why you might be leading from dependency (and not even realize it) 📊 The 3 levels of team maturity—and how to move your team to the top 🛠 Practical steps for transferring leadership (not just tasks) 🚫 What happens when you stay the bottleneck too long—and how to break the cycle 📣 Plus: An invite to my free Masterclass “You Hired the Team – So Why Are You Still Doing It All” to help you implement all of this inside your own business It’s time to stop building a business that depends on you—and start leading one that thrives because of you.

In this episode of Your Big Next, I’m sharing a lesson that’s been hitting me deeply lately—and I have a vacation at the beach (and some honest reflection) to thank for it. We’re talking about the difference between leading from overflow vs. leading from force, and why this shift might be the key to sustainable success in both life and business.

In this episode, I’m joined by Brad Leavitt—entrepreneur, leader, Luxury General Contractor in Arizona, and the force behind AFT Construction. Brad’s story is one of vision, grit, and long-term thinking. He started as an electrician in San Diego and went on to build one of the most respected construction companies in the country, known for high-end, Net Zero homes and unique custom builds like baseball fields and lazy rivers.

In this episode, I’m joined by someone who embodies unapologetic leadership and creative freedom—Zuby. You may know him as an independent rapper, author, and outspoken voice in today’s cultural landscape, but what struck me most in our conversation is his clarity, courage, and conviction in building a life that aligns fully with his values. We talk about his journey from growing up in Saudi Arabia to attending Oxford, to eventually leaving the corporate world to go all-in on his music career. Zuby shares what it’s really taken to chart his own course—and how a single viral moment in 2019 became a catalyst for his role in public commentary and cultural conversation.

I was hesitant about bringing AI into my world. I didn’t want to lose the personal touch or creativity that makes my work meaningful. But what I found instead?

| 278. When Success Feels Heavy & How Simplicity Can Be a Power Move | Interview with Denise Duffield-Thomas | 09 juin 2025 | 01:00:36 | |
In this episode, I had the absolute joy of sitting down with Denise Duffield-Thomas—a money mentor whose work has impacted over 10,000 entrepreneurs around the world. I’ve admired her for years, not just because of the way she teaches about abundance and wealth, but because of how she lives her life: with intention, honesty, and ease. We got into the real stuff—what it’s like to build a successful business while navigating undiagnosed ADHD, the pressure of always chasing the next big thing, and why Denise is now leaning hard into simplicity and joy. She’s choosing contentment over constant growth, and honestly, it’s a refreshing (and powerful) perspective more entrepreneurs need to hear. We talked about the messy middle of motherhood, the tension between ambition and peace, and what it truly means to live a “first class life”—not in terms of luxury, but in alignment with your values. This conversation is full of permission slips—to slow down, to trust the season you're in, and to define success on your own terms. Some highlights from our conversation: 💬 Denise’s early entrepreneurial journey and how she discovered her sweet spot 🔥 Why financial success doesn’t protect you from burnout ⚖️ The constant tug-of-war between big vision and well-being 🎯 How to streamline your business to serve you 💡 Why ambition doesn’t have to mean “more, more, more” 🌿 What living a “first class life” really looks like (and how to define it for yourself) This one’s for anyone who’s feeling the weight of the hustle—or wondering if there’s another way to grow without losing yourself in the process.

This episode is really personal. I’m sharing a recent experience that completely shifted the trajectory of my life and business—and it all started with something I never expected to be powerful: stillness.
