    Ep 119 – Staying in the Game
    Jan 6 2026
    Staying in the Game: Why Long-Term Business Is Built on Endurance (Not Hype) Staying Isn’t Sexy — But It’s Everything We love to romanticize growth. Big launches.Fast scaling.Viral moments.Explosive revenue months. But here’s the truth most people don’t talk about: Long-term business is a lot quieter than that. It looks like: Plateaus that last longer than you expected Revenue that stabilizes instead of skyrockets Work that feels repetitive, even boring, some days And boredom doesn’t mean broken.It means you’re building something real. Whether you’re a service provider, product-based business, nonprofit leader, solopreneur, founder, or executive director — the businesses that last aren’t built on hype. They’re built on endurance. Most Businesses Don’t Fail — People Quit This is uncomfortable, but it matters. I’ve watched respected brands shut down: Email lists that once fueled growth Courses that used to sell out Communities that once thrived Not because they failed — but because the market shifted. What worked five years ago doesn’t always work now.Sometimes what worked last year is already being phased out. And instead of adapting, many people: Get discouraged Take change personally instead of strategically Decide the rules change too much Burn out and walk away Staying in the game requires paying attention — not panicking. Staying in Your Lane Doesn’t Mean Ignoring Traffic I’m a “head down, do the work” kind of person. But staying in your lane does not mean ignoring what’s happening around you. AI has changed the landscape.The internet democratized education.Technology has removed humans from parts of the process — and pretending that hasn’t happened isn’t noble. It’s dangerous. You don’t have to adopt every trend.You don’t have to chase every shiny object. But if there isn’t a mirror available, you add one. Long-term builders look honestly at: What’s shifting What’s becoming obsolete What’s being asked for — adjacent, not opposite That’s not selling out.That’s staying relevant. Reinvention Without Identity Whiplash Long-term business does require reinvention — but not constant pivots that leave you unrecognizable. The real questions are: Is this still serving my people? Is this aligned with how I want to work? Is the market asking for something adjacent, not opposite? Reinvention should feel like refinement — not a personality crisis. You Are Not Your Worst Month This is where most people get tripped up. They attach their identity to: Revenue Engagement numbers Enrollment totals Applause And when those numbers dip, their sense of self goes with it. But your business is shaping you just as much as you are shaping it. Who you become by staying matters more than any single result. Long-term builders learn how to: Separate self-worth from sales Detach meaning from metrics Stay curious instead of defensive If your business only works when everything is going well, it’s not resilient — and resilience is what keeps you in the game. You are not: Your quietest launch Your worst month Your engagement dip You are the person who shows up anyway. That’s endurance. You Cannot Do This Alone (Not Long-Term) Solo grind is romanticized — but it’s not sustainable. Community doesn’t mean noise.It doesn’t mean comparison.It doesn’t mean constant promotion. It means perspective. People who can say: “I’m seeing this too.” “You’re not crazy.” “Here’s what I’m noticing — let’s talk it through.” When markets shift, isolation is what makes people quit.Community is what normalizes change instead of turning it into fear. And no — community is not just a place to promote.It’s a place to stay human while building something meaningful. Staying in the game doesn’t mean staying rigid.It means staying connected. The Real Win Is Staying If you’re tired but not done — this is for you.If you’ve questioned whether it’s worth it — this is for you.If you’ve noticed the shifts and wondered if you’re behind — you’re not. You’re paying attention. And that’s how people stay. The real win isn’t: Being everywhere Being first Dominating the market The real win is staying long enough to: Adapt Mature Build something that actually lasts Progress isn’t about perfection.It’s about showing up — messy and brave — one seed at a time. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, behind, or like your time is constantly slipping through your fingers, it’s not because you’re doing it wrong. It’s because no one ever taught you how to manage time in a way that honors: Energy Priorities Real life That’s why I host my live-only Time & Productivity Session — focused on implementation, not theory. And if you’re craving connection, accountability, and honest conversations about building something that lasts, you’ll find that inside The Patch, the Dandelion-Inc ...

  • Ep.118- Build 2026 with Intention

    Ep.118- Build 2026 with Intention
    Dec 31 2025
    Build 2026 with Intention: Momentum, Alignment & What Matters Most

    We are officially done with the idea that every new year has to look like the ones before it.

    No more resolutions that disappear by week two.
    No more “new year, new me” pressure.
    No more chasing what looks good online instead of what actually feels good to wake up to.

    Founder and CEO of Dandelion-Inc

    2026 isn’t about reinventing yourself — it’s about aligning with yourself.

    Because intention builds momentum.
    Intention builds alignment.
    And intention builds a business and a life that actually fits the human inside of it.

    This is the year we stop running in circles and start walking — steadily, confidently — in the right direction.

    Why Speed Means Nothing Without Direction

    There’s a lot of noise out there telling us to hustle harder:

    ➡️ Sell more
    ➡️ Post more
    ➡️ Scale faster

    But here’s the truth most people avoid:

    Speed means nothing if you’re running in the wrong direction.

    Success that demands burnout isn’t success — it’s survival.

    You deserve more than surviving your own dreams.

    Let Your Business Evolve With You

    We don’t talk enough about this — your business should grow with you… or it starts to feel like a cage.

    Maybe you’ve outgrown old offers.
    Maybe you’re ready to go deeper, not wider.
    Maybe your purpose has shifted — and it’s time your work reflects it.

    2026 is not the year to shrink yourself to fit outdated goals.
    It’s the year you rise into what’s next.

    Momentum Comes From Intention, Not Activity

    Busy is not the same as building.

    And if everything is a priority… nothing is.

    So here are three grounding questions to build your 2026 with clarity and confidence:

    1️⃣ What do I want to be known for this year?
    2️⃣ What am I building that lasts beyond this year?
    3️⃣ What am I committed to showing up for every single week?

    Weekly consistency builds momentum.
    Momentum builds confidence.
    Confidence fuels growth that lasts.

    Build What Supports Your Life — Not Consumes It

    Intentional growth includes:

    ✅ Systems that save your sanity
    ✅ Offers that create revenue and impact
    ✅ Processes that give you breathing room
    ✅ Visibility that builds connection, not noise

    If 2025 was the year of figuring it out…
    2026 is the year of building it out.

    Not perfectly.
    Not constantly.
    Not alone.

    You Don’t Have to Build Alone

    Real talk?
    Women entrepreneurs have been building in isolation for far too long.

    When we build inside community, things shift:

    ✨ Clarity becomes natural
    ✨ Support becomes consistent
    ✨ Confidence becomes lived — not performed
    ✨ Growth feels aligned instead of forced

    That’s why I created The Patch, our global membership for women building bold things with purpose and community beside them.

    If you’re ready for alignment, momentum, and meaningful expansion in 2026 — this is where it happens.

    👉 Join us at: dandelioninc.com/patch

    Your Year of Intention Starts Now

    Let this be the year you:

    🔹 Move with intention
    🔹 Build what matters
    🔹 Stop waiting for permission
    🔹 Step into the work you’re meant to do next

    You don’t need hype.
    You don’t need to change who you are.
    You just need clarity — and support.

    Because progress isn’t about perfection.
    It’s about showing up — messy and brave — one seed at a time.

    Here’s to the year we build intentionally… together. 🌱

    Ep.117- From Burnout to Better
    Dec 24 2025
    From the Courtroom to Clarity: Wendy Meadows on Choosing Mediation, Going Solo, and Beating Burnout

    Some people believe hardship should be the rite of passage. “I suffered, so you should too.” Today’s guest, Wendy Meadows, chose the opposite: learn, evolve, and then make the path easier for the next woman.

    Wendy spent years as a family law litigator before realizing the role no longer aligned with who she is. She turned off the litigation spigot, built a solo practice, and shifted to family law mediation—where curiosity, calm leadership, and practical systems do what conflict rarely can: create durable solutions.

    Why “I Suffered, So You Should Too” Is a Broken Model

    • Pain doesn’t have to be a template.

    • Real leadership looks like shortening the learning curve for others.

    • Wendy’s lens: use your story to open doors, not gatekeep them.

    The Pivot: From Litigation to Family Law Mediation

    • Mediation lets families design outcomes privately and humanely.

    • It fits Wendy’s strengths: listening, clarity, and future-focused agreements.

    • Key shift: from “win/lose” to interest-based problem solving.

    Building a Solo Practice Without Burning Out

    • Reputation and relationships beat aggressive advertising.

    • “Top of mind” marketing: consistent presence on LinkedIn and Facebook, clear messaging about mediation services.

    • Make the ask: tell colleagues you now mediate; referrals follow clarity.

    Coaching Lawyer Moms: Structure, Sanity, and Sustainable Growth

    Wendy now coaches burned-out lawyer moms and attorneys who want to go solo. Her coaching centers on:

    • Defining the work you actually want to do

    • Simplifying operations (intake, billing, client experience)

    • Saying no to misaligned matters and yes to sustainable revenue

    SEO cues: burnout for lawyers, coaching for attorneys, leave big law, attorney work–life balance

    The Pause Time Playbook: Journaling That Changes Your Day

    Wendy’s Pause Time Playbook is a simple daily practice:

    1. Set your compass each morning (who you’ll be, what matters).

    2. Rehearse high-stakes moments before they happen.

    3. Reflect at day’s end to lock in learning and confidence.

    Pen-to-paper intention turns reaction into leadership.

    Practical Takeaways You Can Use This Week

    • Get honest about alignment. If the role no longer fits, explore alternatives like mediation or a limited-scope practice.

    • Tell people what you do now. Clear, repeated messaging builds referral paths.

    • Systemize once, benefit daily. Intake, payment, templates, and checklists save hours.

    • Journal with purpose. Decide who you’ll be before the hard moment arrives.
