Powerhouse Women

I'm joined by gut health expert Bridgitte Carroll MS, RDN, to talk about all things entrepreneurship and the empowerment of women calling their own shots in their business growth. After healing a lifelong struggle with her gut, Bridgitte has spent a decade studying functional medicine and nutrition as a registered functional dietitian. She built a 7 figure company in just 16 months — during the pandemic nonetheless. Bridgitte launched GutPersonal (a supplement company that empowers everyone to eliminate gut issues for good through a personalized approach) as her way to change the world in a big way. Her mission is to improve the health and wealth of all women. In this episode we talk about: Believing in your mission from the beginning, launching when the time feels right for you, and the impact that has on your success Intentionality of inner work and self-development and putting that into action by calling your shots for your business growth The importance of having the right people on your team and in your community who are going to cheer you on The hard journey of figuring out what relationships aren't growing with you and how eliminating them can set you both free Bringing your community into your daily life with the intention to change people's lives Resources mentioned: Take the GutPersonal quiz to get your personalized results Start with GutPersonal's magnesium which every woman needs more of!

Welcome to the first episode of a new three-part series on activating your abundance! Over these next few episodes, I'm breaking down the top three factors that have contributed to the results that I've been able to produce, even during uncertain times. It can be so easy to get caught up in the doom and gloom headlines about the recession, inflation, supply chain issues, and more, but I have three tips for reducing that noise and taking advantage of the opportunities out there waiting for you. I explain how I carefully audit the content that I consume, find places where I can create certainty, and double-down on developing my leadership skills. In this episode we talk about: How to keep your mindset laser-focused on possibilities in the midst of uncertain times Recognizing that any belief that we accept and surrender to ultimately becomes our reality Tips for educating yourself about the economy and staying rooted in facts Inspiring examples of business owners being resourceful and creative during challenging times Why it's so important to be the positive voice and show up for your community now more than ever Resources mentioned: The Chris Harder Show 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!

I can't believe our fifth in-person Powerhouse Women event is coming up in just a few weeks! Hannah and I have been getting a lot of questions about how to promote and fill an event, so we're breaking down the top three things that have helped us sell out our event every year. We get into the strategy behind having multiple deadlines to convert earlier ticket sales, what a mini launch is and how you can apply it to your own promo calendar, and the importance of building up your community so that they can help with powerful word-of-mouth marketing. Hannah also has some amazing tangible tips for how to reach out to sponsors and make your event profitable. In this episode we talk about: Our experience with having flash sales and early bird pricing Creating a natural urgency that you can build into your promotion Different ways that we have mini launches, like contests and speaker announcements What it looks like to play the long game and show up for your community outside of the event Viewing sponsorships as mutually beneficial collaborations, not free handouts 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!

I love sharing sneak peeks into our Girl Gang monthly mindset calls where we dive into the mental game of entrepreneurship and pursuing big dreams. I hopped on a call with the group right after Hannah and I got back from a mastermind trip where we spent three full days talking about ideas and strategy with people who are all multiple six-and-seven-figure business owners. Needless to say, I was feeling so inspired. In the call, I break down three of the mindset, belief systems, and habits that these super successful leaders embody. I've observed that they take action a lot faster, invest in the person they want to become, and also work 10 times harder on the inner thought work than they do on the outer results of their business. Tune in to learn more about how you can start thinking and making decisions like a seven-figure business owner. In this episode we talk about: Being willing to fail forward Why the longer we give ourselves to do something, it actually becomes harder to achieve How I use the annual Powerhouse Women event as a timestamp to reflect on the past and check in with how I want to approach the next year Tangible tools for supporting yourself when you're sitting in uncomfortable feelings Recognizing that fear is going to come along for the ride, it just doesn't get to sit in the driver's seat 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!

I'm joined by hiring expert Jackie Koch to talk all things building out your team, developing your leadership skills, and some of the not-so-fun (but very necessary) parts of taking on employees. Jackie has over 15 years of experience in the recruiting and hiring world, and she currently works with VC-funded startups and digital solopreneurs who are looking to hire. Jackie breaks down the difference between contractors and employees and provides examples of when it's better to hire one over the other. She shares her expertise for determining when it's the right time to hire and how to narrow down what kind of seat you need to fill in your business. Jackie also has some amazing tips on how to craft the perfect job description and create a seamless hiring process. Plus, she gets real about how to handle uncomfortable conversations around poor performance, firing, and/or laying off an employee.

When I'm working with clients or Girl Gang members, I often see this loop that can happen where we get stuck on a question and we're not able to see a new answer. We look for it either outside of ourselves, or we just end up in an analysis paralysis cycle of overthinking. I've come up with some ways to actually strengthen the connection to your intuition so that you can discover more clarity around your next move. Tune in to hear my top three tips for tapping into your inner wisdom and unlocking your own answers. In this episode we talk about: Signs that you're disconnected from your intuition What I've been learning about myself through Human Design My go-to breathing exercises to calm my nervous system Why sometimes for a season, I'll stop consuming most other content Examples of how taking action has lead to clarity in my life 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!

I recently got a message from a listener who was looking for advice about how to communicate with more certainty, authority, and confidence. If you were raised in a culture that really values politeness and being more soft spoken (shout out to all my Midwesterners!), you might be subconsciously diminishing your ability to make the greatest impact possible. I'm sharing three ways that I've become more conscious of my communication style, how I've tweaked it, and the results that I've seen in my business because of these small changes. In order to be able to fulfill a bigger vision, you have to step into a new level of leadership, and these tips will help you get there. In this episode we talk about: How you can command respect in a way that reflects your authentic personality Recognizing when you're apologizing for things that you don't need to apologize for Examples of what it looks like when we replace 'sorry' with 'thank you' Understanding that 'no' is a complete sentence Learning how to graciously accept acknowledgment instead of constantly deflecting compliments or praise 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!
