After producing 2 other podcasts and over 200 episodes, I'm pivoting again...to serve my absolute favorite people: women business owners in the health or wellness space. In this first episode of Well Women Business, I'll share what this podcast is going to be all about, and why I think there's a gap in business coaching for women who are running health or wellness businesses at the multi-six figure level. (And why a 3AM wake-up call in the Grand Canyon is the perfect metaphor for where I am right now.)

In this episode:

• Why you have to run your business on data and metrics... not just on who you like or what feels comfortable (including the real reason I stopped coaching entirely in 2025 and what it took to come back)
• What the Run / Grow / Lead framework is and why it's the backbone of every conversation on this show
• Why I'm pro-hard work and anti-hustle... and why those are NOT the same thing
• The loneliness that comes with leading a bigger business... and why accountability and community matter more at this level than most people admit
• Why I am doing this podcast while actively running a $1M+ service-based business... and why that actually matters for YOU

Take Action:

Think about one area of your business you've been running on gut feel instead of data. What would it look like to find one number to track there instead?

Something I learned in a marriage counseling session gave me a lightbulb moment about women in business. And it explains why only 1.9% of women-owned businesses ever hit seven figures. It's not a strategy gap. It's not an intelligence gap. In this episode I'm getting into what it actually is… and what you can do about it.

• The stat that stopped me cold… only 12% of women-owned businesses ever hit six figures, which means if you're already there, you're already beating 88% of female business owners

• Why the gap between six figures and seven figures is NOT a strategy gap or an intelligence gap… it's a permission gap (and what that actually means for how you run your business)

• The specific ways people-pleasing shows up in your business at this level… including one I got called out on in that same counseling session (hint: it involved a restaurant menu)

• Why the strategies that GOT you to six figures are often the exact things keeping you FROM seven

• What it actually takes to lead a business at this level… and why it requires a completely different identity, not just different tactics

Think of one decision you've been putting off in your business that you already know the answer to… but haven't acted on because you're afraid of what someone will think or afraid of disappointing someone. Decide right now what you're going to do about it.

I bought a practice, my COO went on maternity leave, then came back part-time, then resigned — and somewhere in the middle of all of that I realized I had been doing two full-time jobs simultaneously and had NO idea where the cracks were in my business. That's what prompted me to build the Well Women Business Assessment. In this episode I walk you through exactly what it is, why it matters for women running health or wellness businesses at the multi-six figure level, and what's waiting for you at the end when you take it.

• Why even a profitable, busy business can have serious cracks underneath… and why you're often too close to see them when you're in the middle of it

• The one question in the Run section that I ask myself every time I think about taking a vacation (and what my honest answer tells me about the health of my business)

• Why the Grow section hits differently than you'd expect… it's not just about revenue

• The Lead section question that connects directly back to Episode 2 — and why most women score lower here than anywhere else

• What's waiting for you at the end of the assessment… I'm not going to tell you what it is, but it's worth doing the whole thing to find out

Take the Well Women Business Assessment before you listen to the next episode. It takes 10 minutes, it's free, and rate yourself on where you actually are RIGHT NOW — not where you want to be. Be honest. That's the whole point.
