Wanna know how it’s possible to have a multi 6-figure business while working 15 hours a week… and starting a family and running a second business, all in one year?

Once Sam DiNicola decided to start a family, she locked into a rock solid mindset and began preparing her business and life for a baby to arrive. You may recognize this digital marketing agency owner from season 2 of LITerally! She’s back to share her wisdom and mindset with us in the Little Ones mini series, along with four of my other clients who are balancing businesses and babies while making great money.

Sam was able to grow and evolve her agency while in the role of primary caregiver, as well as build her real estate investment business working only 15 hours a week. You heard that right - she currently has no nanny or daycare and continues to grow her businesses only working in the mornings while her very supportive husband spends precious time with their daughter. 

In order to run two businesses and have her daughter in her care almost 24/7, Sam made adjustments and changes very purposefully and in advance of getting pregnant. Listen to this open and honest conversation to hear the lessons she has learned, how instrumental her mindset was, and what she would do differently to make her business work for her life in the best way possible!

In this episode, you’ll hear:

• A massive win Sam experienced in her business while in the hospital giving birth (and how this can be possible for you anywhere, anytime too!)
• Sam’s biggest tip to prepare for maternity leave (or any extended leave) to make the transition as smooth as possible while earning almost the same amount
• What she refuses to waste any more time on as a business owner (and how to fully enjoy the time we dedicate to growing our businesses)
• How to set your mindset to being more productive when your mental load is at capacity and you are downright exhausted

What happens when a seven figure business owner wants to scale back her hours and still provide financially for her family? When online business coach, Leah Gervais, became pregnant, she scaled back to 4 days and then eventually 3 days in anticipation of creating a new normal for herself and her family. 

She bravely shares her fears and nerves around not knowing how to prepare for a new normal, and what having a baby would mean for her freedom. In the process, she discovered the absolute best way to spend her time and experienced the feeling of “having it all” when returning to work after maternity leave. Find out how she was able to feel lighter and work and obsess over her business less while still achieving massive success.

Listen to episode 3 of the LITle Ones miniseries to learn about building a business and life that gives us everything we desire without losing ourselves in the process. 

In this episode, you’ll hear:

• How Leah gave herself permission for changes in her business to occur and how she’s working less and making more than ever 
• How to hold onto the important parts of your identity as you step into motherhood (so you can be ALL of you in this season of life)
• Listening to your intuition in business and motherhood and how that can pay off in the biggest way
• The behind the scenes of what it looked like for Leah to shift expectations, design a life and business that served her, and truly “have it all”
• Bonus real talk on breastfeeding struggles and the motivation to keep going in the hard moments!

What if you built a business just for the sake of building a business? Only to realize you didn’t actually love most of what you were doing even though it looked really successful from the outside?

In episode 2 of our Little Ones miniseries, Copywriter and Brand Strategist, Jess Jordana, and I have a conversation about what happened when she came back from maternity leave and realized it was time to reimagine her entire business. We discuss balance, transitioning to a 3 day work week and what it means to actually have that elusive ‘balance’. 

If you are struggling with work-life balance, feeling like you maybe haven’t built a business that lights you up, or want some inspiration to know that you can work less AND still get what you want out of your business, this episode is for you. 

In this episode, you’ll hear:

• The biggest difference-maker in preparing for maternity leave (or any extended leave)
• Why tearing down and rebuilding Jess’s business was the best move for her (and a new lens through which she bases her decisions)
• A huge mindset shift around how you spend your time (and how to know that something is actually WORTH your time)
• The single, most important question that changed everything in Jess’s business
• One guiding thought that can support you in making decisions as a mother in business

The belief of success at ANY cost…actually has a really big cost.😬

We can believe “I can do it all myself - and perfectly” which leads to stress, burnout, and lack of rest, OR we can intentionally choose to create ease and enjoyment in life and business (even and especially when it feels hardest to do that!). 

In this first episode of Little Ones, business coach and serial entrepreneur, Suzy Olivier, shares with us how she crafted her maternity leave and transition back to work to be fun, easy, and serve her well, even with three littles to care for! This is the permission we as mothers need to take time off, receive support, and let go of trying to be everything to everyone.

Tune into this episode to discover:

• How Suzy shifted her mindset, beliefs, and goals (and how this is possible for ANYONE) to be an intentional business owner
• A mindset reframe that helped Suzy fully enjoy her newborn and ditch mom guilt
• One reality of the growth and speed of your business during time off that needs to be said and spoken about more
• What balance looks like for Suzy, and how to be “the best you” whether you are in mom mode or business mode

In this wrap-up episode with Michelle, we are talking all about what her experience on the podcast was like as well as the lessons and breakthroughs she had during this time. She’s sharing what coaching publicly felt like, what she’s taking away until our post-maternity leave sessions, and what she hopes all of you take away from this season.

In Session 18 with Michelle (our final session of the season!) we discuss the things that are going well in her business as well as pinpointing what still needs work. It’s so normal to want to wrap things up in a pretty bow, but the reality is that business is an ongoing journey. If you’re feeling like you should be at the finish line with everything figured out by now, you definitely don’t want to miss this one!

In Session 17 with Michelle, we discuss the way we see ourselves and how this is what ultimately directs our actions in business and life. This episode will be such a gamechanger to knock you out of a rut, and help you set your mindset and identity for way more success. We’ll also dive into ways of selling to your audience that feel good and maximize sales and results. This is a great mindset and strategy deep dive you don’t want to miss. 

In Session 16 with Michelle, we continue leaning into our power, taking ownership of our results AND realizing that we can get what we want when we get in touch with what’s present - even when it’s hard to see it or when we’re told otherwise. This episode will help you work towards your self-belief and take action towards building a business that feels great to you and makes you great money.

In this last solo episode of season 6, I talk about an important theme that’s come up this season that is a gamechanger for your business success. This episode walks you through the difference between being/feeling in power and being in surrender and how we can ultimately get the clients, income, and lifestyle that we want to have. It will help you look at the experiences you've had that may be keeping you from truly harnessing your power so that you can shift it and use it to make more money in your business and feel good while doing it.

In Session 15 with Michelle, we follow up on all the questions she’s been asking herself and dive into what’s unfolded from that. We also talk about making your offers and sales funnels adaptable and tailoring them to the season you’re in in life without changing your entire business (while still getting results). Finally, we talk money mindset and the trick for creating more abundance! 

In Session 10 with Kristin, we discuss the nuance between when there's something for us to shift internally, and when feeling bad about something is a sign that something needs to practically change. We dive into team, next steps with her funnel, and what should be on her plate in the business and what shouldn't. This is a great episode to reflect on where in your business things feel off because they truly are and what practical and strategic shifts you might need to make to change them.

In this episode, you’ll hear:

• How the type of wins that matter evolve depending on your stage of business
• What Kristin needs to see as the solution to most of her problems
• The most important Q you can ask yourself if you want to scale without losing your mind
• Background on big funnel decisions Kristin is making

In Session 14 with Michelle, we discuss some key topics that lead to significant breakthroughs and aha moments for Michelle and what she wants to explore further in her IVF coaching business. This session is the start of more conversations to come and gives you SO many great questions to ask yourself to get to the deeper stuff (you know, the stuff that will ACTUALLY help you have your own breakthroughs and aha moments that lead to magnetizing your dream clients and your business feeling epic!).

In Session 13 with Michelle, we go deep on life-related topics like Michelle feeling the desire to do more with her personal life and weighing the pros and cons of what that could entail for her. Whether you’re feeling uninspired by your business or are looking for reassurance that you CAN live a fun, exciting life and continue expanding your business, this episode will show you how giving attention to your life (and filling your cup in other ways besides business) is often the key to building a profitable and easeful business. 

In this solo episode, we discuss the strategy and mindset tips that I truly believe you need to have in place to create a successful plan for time off in your business. After listening, you’ll be able to avoid mistakes, navigate through the confusing messages in the online space about time off, and have the strategic steps to continue running your business like the amazing well-oiled machine of your dreams!

In Session 12 with Michelle, we discuss her maternity leave plans and how things will continue to run in her absence. Whether you’re planning for maternity leave, an unplugged vacation or any type of time off in your business, you’ll see how forethought and forward planning is key to being and feeling well-prepared and continuing to grow your income even while you’re away. 

In Session 11 with Michelle, we discuss her sales process, making an exciting announcement to her community (YAY!) and planning for extended time off from her business. This episode will help you finetune your sales process from start to finish as well as give you tips to stay in alignment when planning for announcements and/or breaks so that you can avoid overwhelm.

In Session 10 with Michelle, we are giving you a great mindset checkpoint as we chat about Michelle’s exciting progress in her business. We’re talking about the tricky games our brain can play on us, how to focus on the feeling rather than the doing, and how to trust your business to give you the feedback you need to move forward and get results. This is SUCH a juicy mindset session that will help you think about your own beliefs and inspire you to shift if needed so you can create more space for growth.

In this solo episode, we’re breaking down the difference between experiencing ease and things feeling easy in our business and the myths that can keep us chasing shiny objects (and not the success we ultimately want). When you become aware of this, you will have the power to build a business that you truly love (I know this will be a game-changer for you!) and this episode will give you the guidance to get there.

In Session 9 with Michelle, we discuss everything from how to organize your business tasks so you’re wearing your true CEO hat to how to confidently manage your energy after your sales calls and more. This episode really shows how mindset, strategy and execution fit together to move things forward in business AND get you amazing results!

In Session 8 with Michelle, we’re discussing taking breaks from business and creating streamlined systems and processes that will be fulfilling and profitable. This episode is going to normalize that you can BOTH love your business AND enjoy taking time off when needed, and give you tips to show up in your business in a way that feels good to you and impacts your revenue tremendously!

In Session 7 with Michelle, we illustrate how sales objections can help us gain clarity to make more sales. From handling disappointment and objections in our business, to simple yet impactful ways to increase our conversions in content and on calls, this episode will give you new perspectives on how you can close sales with more ease!

The thing that most people don't talk about is that scaling comes with tradeoffs. That doesn't mean it's bad, but it does mean we want to go in with our eyes wide open to what those look like. There are also specific strategies that support this and make a big difference in addressing those tradeoffs. We're diving into all of that in today's solo episode.

In this episode, you’ll hear:

• The part of scaling you need to accept (that no one will tell you)
• One of the most underrated skills to learn as your business grows
• The shift in decision making that has to take place to get to your next level
• Where the overwhelm comes from in this process (and how to address it)
• The one thing you need to love in order to get the next level results

In our second solo episode, we’re having a deep conversation on the 9-5 conditioning that tells us that business and life are always in competition with each other. I’m asking you some really important questions to create massive alignment and clarity, and helping you get yourself on board with the idea that these two can integrate in a way that not only serves you, but gets you bigger and better results in your business! 

In Session 6 with Michelle, we dive into all things strategy and execution. From deciding your next right steps, to using the free time you have, to stacking strategies in the way that works best- we are getting clear on exactly what makes the biggest difference when it comes to taking action and creating more results in your business (and it’s probably NOT what you think)! 

In Session 5 with Michelle, we talk about mastering her mindset (and ditching the 9-5 mentality) to create a ripple effect that gets bigger results in business. We’re discussing the role of our personal journeys, the abundance that is already prevalent, and the business foundations she wants to have on lock in order to take things to the next level. In this episode, you’ll be hearing how to really take in the belief that your business GETS to support the life you desire (and how that will make ALL the difference).

In Session 4 with Michelle, we get some VERY exciting news (!!!) and dive into all things capacity and conditioning. We talk about what it looks like to step into the unknown, the resistance that can come up with the CEO role, and sales myths that keep us stuck. We’re shifting ALL of these in a big way and creating space for not only more success, but success that ACTUALLY feels good (and comes without a heaping side of sacrifice). 

In this first solo episode of Season 6, I talk about the secret to growing your business that most people won’t tell you. Why won’t they tell you? Because our industry is often built on selling the idea that you’re just ONE new module away from it all working. While that would be ideal (to say the least!!), there’s a bigger reality at play. In this episode we talk about what that is and how to use it to not only get short-term results, but to build your business for massive long-term success.  

In Session 3 with Michelle, we’re diving into how to feel fulfilled and confident with your business model. From how to love the different aspects of your business (from the admin tasks to the deliverables) to the permission to create a business model that works for you (and what that might look like). We will also talk about uncomplicating your next launch (so that you can do it effortlessly & repeatedly). This episode is going to help you step into a CEO mindset and grow!

In Session 2 with Michelle, we’re having a very important conversation around celebrating momentum, creating a strategy (and why it’s important to stay consistent), identifying your finite capacity and mindset. You’ll also hear me talk about a game-changing question you can ask during your next discovery call to get you more sales. 

We’re kicking off Season 6 with Michelle! Listen in to Michelle and I talk about an important piece of client onboarding, combining mindset and strategy to face fears, and why immediate conversions don’t have to be your main focus in order to create big results.

In this introductory episode, we learn about our new coachee Michelle! We discuss the importance of support and embracing the timing of your journey. Michelle shares her IVF journey that prompted her to begin her business. Hear about the steps she took to begin, her goals, biggest lessons learned so far in her business, and how she honors her journey & feelings in her decision making. Tune in for what you can expect this season on LITerally®!
