As business owners, one of the hardest leadership challenges is having an employee who could do better—but isn’t. In this episode, I’m breaking down how to evaluate underperformance, how often retraining actually makes sense, what you can do today to turn things around, and how to know when it’s time to lovingly let someone go. If you’ve ever felt stuck between loyalty and leadership, this episode is for you.

Motivation doesn’t always show up on demand—especially when you’re tired, overwhelmed, or navigating a busy season of life and business. In this episode, we talk about how to keep moving forward without waiting to feel inspired. You’ll learn the difference between motivation and willpower, how your brain and body affect focus and energy, and practical ways to set yourself up for better ideas, consistent momentum, and progress—even on low-motivation days.

Sometimes the problem isn’t you—and it’s not even the job, the business, or the role you’re in. Sometimes the path you’re on just isn’t working anymore. In this episode, I’m talking about what to do when things feel off, stagnant, or heavy—and why changing your approach is not the same as quitting. We’ll talk about staying in the same job or business but shifting how you operate, why adding a mentor or hiring a coach can completely change your results, and how small pivots can lead to massive relief, clarity, and momentum. If you’ve been forcing a plan that no longer fits, this episode is your permission slip to do things differently. Reach out to Dr. Hillary on Instagram @Hillaryhushowerjones.
