Episode notes

What if you didn’t have to choose between growing a business you love and living a life that actually feels good?

This week, Ash is joined by Kelsey Murphy, a renowned business and life coach and host of the Whiskey and Work podcast, for a refreshing conversation about building with heart, staying focused, and finding your version of balance as an entrepreneur and parent.

They dive into how Kelsey launched her career (thanks to a surprising run-in with Leo Babauta), and how she learned to take bold, imperfect action- before everything was figured out. They unpack how to stay focused amidst “shiny object syndrome,” the power of a three-year manifesto, and how to make confident decisions in business while staying aligned with your core values.

Kelsey also shares what it really looks like to raise three kids while running a successful business- without losing your mind or your joy. If you’re ready to grow your business with heart, build deeper relationships with your audience, and stay grounded through it all, this episode will leave you both fired up and deeply seen.
