I’m joined by online marketing expert Amy Porterfield to talk about taking the leap from your 9-to-5 and navigating the in-between season that so many of us experience in that transition.  Amy takes us back to her corporate days and highlights the moment she realized she was meant for more, but didn’t exactly have a business plan. She gets real about her rocky entrepreneurial start and how she worked through the mindset challenges that came with her first launch. Plus, Amy also shares what inspired her to write her book, Two Weeks Notice, and what readers can expect from it.    In this episode we talk about: Questions to ask yourself to discover your marketable skills and unique offering  Overcoming the fear of public failure and judgment  Being okay with taking imperfect action  Recognizing the thoughts and patterns that are keeping you small  Why Amy wrote Two Weeks Notice and who the book is meant for    We’re giving away 5 signed copies of Two Weeks Notice!

I am feeling some serious growth and expansion for myself this year. And while I am so excited about this, I am nervously anticipating the discomfort that comes along with it. Today, I’m talking about what becoming the next level version of yourself actually looks and feels like. It can be so hard to see that you’re growing, because growth can be masked by self-doubt, uneasiness and imposter syndrome. However, the worst thing you can do is ignore the feeling that you’re meant for more. Let’s dive into this episode and talk about how to step into that leadership role both you and your business deserve.   In this episode we talk about: Why personal growth can feel like you’re mourning a death Two practices to help you break through to where you need to be How intentions bring opportunities How Lindsey will be upleveling herself this year   Not part of the Girl Gang Community yet?

When Jasmine Star got on stage at the Powerhouse Women 2022 event and said, “Overwhelm is the abundance of what we once prayed for,” my entire perspective shifted. I invited her on the show today to unpack that message and go a little deeper on how to grow through challenges.  We discuss her backstory and certain mindset pieces that she had to overcome early on in her entrepreneurial journey. As a fellow introvert, Jasmine highlights how she develops friendships and manages how they evolve. Plus, she talks about what she’s doing to stay grounded in her vision and intention for this year, which is all about feeling fulfilled as a mom, wife, and business owner.    In this episode we talk about: The moment that Jasmine realized she had the capacity and calling to start a business  Defining what success, freedom, and purpose mean for you  Measuring your progress in an authentic way A powerful exercise to work through moments of overwhelm  Jasmine’s strategy for building a network that lifts her up and honors who she really is   If you loved today’s episode, please share your favorite takeaways or your own systems and processes by screenshotting this episode and tagging us on Instagram!   Click HERE to text the word MENTOR to (602) 536-7829 for weekly business + mindset tips delivered straight to your phone!   Not part of the Girl Gang Community yet?
