As heart-centered women entrepreneurs, distractions can often keep us from doing the deep, meaningful work that truly moves the needle in our businesses (and helps us fulfill our soul’s potential). In this episode, I’m sharing powerful practices and perspectives to help you overcome shiny object syndrome, busy work, and life’s daily distractions.

This episode offers insights into consistency and how small, steady actions lead to long-term success. Whether you're struggling to start or just need help staying the course, you’ll walk away with tools to stay grounded, focused, and aligned with what matters most.

Tune in and learn how to shift from feeling scattered to stepping into your true work with clarity and purpose!

And, as a special gift, I want to offer you free access to one of my most popular programs, “Getting Out of Your Own Way” (an IFS Daily Parts Meditation Kit to help you cultivate inner wholeness, harmony, and Self-Leadership at the start of each day).
