The FIERCE Framework - Becoming fierce through messy action, baby steps, & cultivating confidence.

Have you ever known exactly what you wanted to do… but still felt resistance every time you tried to take action?In this episode of The Fierce Framework, I’m talking about the very real resistance that shows up when we start pursuing meaningful goals, building a business, reinventing ourselves, or creating a life that actually feels aligned.Because resistance doesn’t always mean you’re on the wrong path. Sometimes it means you’re stretching beyond what feels familiar.I’m sharing three tools that help me move through resistance when fear, overwhelm, self-doubt, or outside opinions start creeping in:Clarifying your deeper “why”Setting supportive boundariesBuilding a community that reinforces your growth instead of shrinking itI also walk through the “Five Whys” exercise to help uncover your real motivation, talk about why your dreams do not need to be “big enough” to matter, and explain how boundaries can actually become an act of self-trust and self-support.If you’ve been struggling to stay consistent, feeling discouraged, or questioning whether your goals are valid, this episode is for you.Key Takeaways:A strong “why” helps you stay grounded when motivation fades.Boundaries are not punishment. They are support systems for your future self.“Boundaries aren’t about saying no to other people. Boundaries are about saying yes to yourself” - Rachel Rogers The people around you influence what feels possible. Create a support system that normalizes growth and ambitionCurating your environment online and offline matters more than most people realize.Supporting others can help you build stronger community and connection.Mentions + Resources:Follow me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thefierceframework/ Join the email list!

If you’re in a spot where you know exactly what step you want to take next, but you just can’t get yourself to do it, this episode is for you.In today’s conversation, I’m diving into what really gets in the way after you’ve already done the hard work of figuring out your next steps. Because let’s be honest, clarity isn’t always the problem. Taking action is.I walk through three of the most common (and sneaky) barriers that keep us stuck: overwhelm, fear of failure, and fear of success. These are the things that show up right when you’re on the edge of moving forward and they can feel incredibly convincing if you don’t know how to spot them.We talk about what it looks like to feel overwhelmed by the size of your goals, especially when there’s grief or regret about not starting sooner. I also share why fear of failure isn’t just about “failing,” but about being seen trying, caring deeply, and stepping outside of your comfort zone.And then there’s fear of success, which doesn’t get talked about enough. The pressure, responsibility, and expectations that come with growth can feel just as scary as failing. So if you’ve ever found yourself holding back right before things start working, this might be why.This episode is your reminder that you don’t need perfect conditions to begin. You don’t need to feel fully ready. And you definitely don’t need to be good at something before you start.You just need to take the next step.🔑 Key TakeawaysKnowing what to do isn’t the same as doing it and that gap is where most people get stuckOverwhelm often comes from focusing on the entire journey instead of the next stepIt’s normal to feel grief or regret about not starting sooner, but staying stuck won’t change thatFear of failure is often really about being seen trying, caring, and possibly getting it wrongYou are allowed to be bad at something while you learnGrowth is usually slower and messier than we expect and that’s normalFear of success can show up as pressure, responsibility, or worry about maintaining resultsYou don’t have to commit forever, you can pivot, change, or quit if something no longer fitsAt some point, you have to decide you are “prepared enough” and learn by doing🎯 What I Want You to Do Next Pick one thing.Not ten. Not the whole plan. Just one step you can take today, even if it feels small or imperfect.

There is no perfect plan here. Just honest insight into how you can move through stress, burnout, and emotional weight without shutting down.You will hear how to let yourself feel emotions without spiraling, how to interrupt negative patterns when your brain gets stuck, and how to come back to small, doable actions when everything feels like too much.We also talk about something that does not get enough attention.

If you’ve ever felt like a fraud for wanting something bigger… this episode is for you.In this conversation, I’m talking about imposter syndrome, self-doubt, and the quiet ways we talk ourselves out of going after what we really want. Because the truth is, most people aren’t more qualified than you… they’ve just been willing to start.I share how easy it is to fall into comparison and assume someone else is better suited, more talented, or more “ready.” But what I’ve learned (and what I want you to really hear) is this: caring about something is an indicator that you’re the one to pursue it.We’re not meant to all want the same things or show up in the same way. Your voice, your perspective, and your experiences matter. They’re necessary. If something is calling you, there’s a reason.This episode is your permission slip to stop waiting, stop overthinking, and start showing up. Because you don’t get confident first… you get confident by doing.What I talk about:Why imposter syndrome shows up (and why it doesn’t mean stop)How comparison keeps you stuck and second-guessing yourselfThe truth about “natural talent” vs. practice and repetitionWhy caring deeply is actually your biggest advantageHow to recognize your unique contribution and lean into itThe mindset shift that helps you take action before you feel readyKey Takeaways:You don’t need permission to start. You just need to care.Imposter syndrome isn’t a sign you’re unqualified; it’s a sign you’re stretching.Comparing yourself to others will always distort your perspective.Confidence is built through action, not before it.Your unique voice and perspective are the value. No one else is going to do it like you.If you don’t see what you’re looking for, that might be your cue to create it.“If there's a book that you want to read, but it hasn't been written yet, then you must write it.”― Toni Morrison"Don't ask what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive and go do it. Because what the world needs is more people who have come alive."― Howard Thurman"Be the change you wish to see in the world."– Mahatma GandhiMentions + Resources:Follow MaryBeth on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thefierceframework/ Join the email list!

If you’ve ever felt stuck waiting for the “right” plan, the perfect idea, or full clarity before you start, this episode is for you.Today, I’m talking about something I see all the time, especially with high-achievers and ADHD brains: the habit of overthinking our way into inaction. We tell ourselves we just need a little more clarity, a better plan, or more certainty before we begin. But the truth? Clarity doesn’t come before action. Clarity comes from action. In this episode, I’m breaking down why waiting until everything feels “figured out” actually keeps you stuck, and how to start moving forward in a way that feels doable, not overwhelming.I share how I navigated this in my own life, from starting a travel blog (without knowing where it would lead) to eventually building my coaching business. None of it started with a perfect plan, but every step gave me the feedback I needed to move forward.We’ll talk about how to use “baby steps” to get out of analysis paralysis, why experimenting is one of the most powerful tools you have, and how to focus on becoming instead of arriving.Because the goal isn’t to get it perfect—it’s to get in motion.🔑 Key Takeaways Clarity comes from action, not before it. You don’t think your way into knowing, you move your way into it.Perfectionism often shows up as “planning.” But too much planning without action is just a socially acceptable way to stay stuck.Baby steps create momentum. Small, low-pressure actions give you real feedback without the overwhelm.You don’t need the full roadmap. You just need the first step.  Think “vibe” over perfect plan. You can course-correct as you go.Experimentation is the fastest way to learn. Try things before committing long-term. Action helps you figure out what actually fits.You’re not behind. You’re becoming. There is no final destination where you suddenly “arrive” fully ready.Mentions + Resources:Follow MaryBeth on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thefierceframework/ Join the email list!

Reinventing yourself sounds exciting… until you’re actually in it.In this episode, I’m joined by Mary and Shauna for a real, honest conversation about what it actually looks like to step into a new chapter of your life especially when it feels uncertain, uncomfortable, or just plain scary.We talk about the messy middle of growth. The part where you’re letting go of who you’ve always been, but you’re not fully sure who you’re becoming yet.I share my own experience of releasing the identity of being “the responsible one” and how that role, while helpful at one point, started to feel draining and out of alignment. Shauna opens up about reinventing her life after divorce, and Mary talks about shifting away from rigid expectations and learning to trust the unknown.This conversation is a reminder that reinvention isn’t about becoming someone completely different overnight. It’s about making small, intentional changes, building self-trust, and allowing your next chapter to unfold over time.We also dive into:Why fear and courage exist at the same time (and why that’s a good thing)Letting go of identities that no longer fitThe role of self-reflection in personal growthHow to stay grounded in gratitude while still wanting moreThe importance of surrounding yourself with supportive peopleIf you’ve been feeling the pull to change something in your life, but you’re not sure where to start, this episode will meet you right where you are.🔑 Key TakeawaysReinvention isn’t a one-time decision. It’s a series of small, intentional choicesYou don’t have to feel confident to start, you just need the courage to startLetting go of an old identity can feel uncomfortable, even when it’s necessaryYou can be grateful for your life and still want more for yourselfGrowth takes time.

Big goals can feel exciting… and overwhelming at the same time. If you’ve ever looked at a dream you care about and thought “Where do I even start?” you’re not alone.In this episode, I’m talking about the balance between keeping your big vision in mind while focusing on the small steps that actually move you forward.I share one of my favorite ways to think about progress: holding both the bird’s-eye view of your goals and the tiny mouse steps that help you get there. Because while the vision gives us direction, it’s the small, doable actions that create real momentum.I also talk about how ADHD, perfectionism, and overwhelm can make big goals feel impossible—and how breaking things down into milestones and manageable steps can completely change the experience.If you’ve been feeling stuck, scattered, or unsure how to move forward with a big dream, this episode will help you shift your perspective and start making progress again.Because the truth is: dreams don’t become reality all at once—they’re built one small step at a time.Key Takeaways:Big goals require both vision and small, consistent action.A bird’s-eye view helps you stay connected to your bigger purpose.Tiny, manageable steps make progress feel achievable.• Breaking goals into milestones helps you avoid overwhelm and stay focused.The fastest way to build momentum is simply to start with the smallest step available.If this conversation helped you rethink how you approach big goals, I’d love for you to share the episode or send it to a friend who might need the reminder that small steps still count.And if you're working toward something meaningful right now, ask yourself one simple question:What’s the smallest step I could take today?That step is where progress begins.Follow MaryBeth on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thefierceframework/ Join the email list!

If you’ve ever had a big dream but felt stuck on how to actually make it happen, this episode is for you.In this episode, I’m sharing the first two steps of my dream-achievement framework: Focus and Initiate. We talk about why dreaming isn’t the hard part, execution is and how most people get overwhelmed by trying to change everything at once.I walk you through a real example from my own life: my long-term goal of spending winters on a beach instead of freezing in Colorado. I break down how I turned that vague dream into a tangible goal, mapped out milestones, and started taking consistent action even when motivation wasn’t there.This conversation is especially for my ADHD folks who tend to juggle too many goals at once and end up stuck. We talk about how to choose one priority for a season, anchor new actions to existing routines, and build momentum through small, doable steps.This episode is part of a larger podcast framework I’ll be guiding you through over the coming months, covering Initiate, Empower, Romanticize, Cultivate, and Execute so you can stop waiting for the “right time” and start creating a life that actually fits you.What You’ll Learn in This EpisodeWhy having a dream isn’t enough and what actually turns it into realityThe difference between vague dreams and actionable goalsHow small milestones build confidence for bigger dreamsKey Topics CoveredTurning dreams into goals you can act onFocus as the foundation for sustainable progressBreaking big dreams into milestones and next stepsConsistent action vs waiting to feel readSeasonal priorities instead of life overhaulsKey TakeawaysYou don’t need to figure out the entire path, you just need the next stepFocus is a strategy, not a limitationInitiating action matters more than feeling motivatedOne clear priority beats ten half-started goalsSmall, consistent steps compound into real changeDreams become achievable when they’re tangible and time-boundAction Step for ListenersPick one dream you’ve been holding onto and ask yourself:What would make this more specific?What’s one milestone I could aim for in the next 3–6 months?What is one small action I could take this week to initiate momentum?You don’t need a perfect plan.

If you’ve been feeling behind, impatient with your progress, or quietly wondering if you’re doing life “wrong,” this episode is for you.This episode is all about trusting the process, honoring the journey you’re in, and understanding that who you are becoming is shaped in the moments that feel uncomfortable, slow, or messy.In this episode, we talk about: Why the journey itself is required to become your future selfRedefining failure and questioning whether it actually exists the way we were taughtCreating community and learning how to intentionally build a support system instead of trying to do everything aloneLetting yourself feel your feelings and “complete the circuit” instead of numbing or rushing past themGiving yourself permission to do life messy, imperfect, and one step at a timeKey Takeaways:Growth isn’t about rushing through steps, it’s about living them. Every season, challenge, pause, and pivot is shaping you into the person you’re becoming.When you stop fighting the process and start trusting it, everything begins to shift. Trusting that you’ll figure out the next step as you go allows you to be present in the moment and get those most out of the step you’re on right now. Trusting the process doesn’t mean doing nothing. It means staying engaged, supported, and willing to take the next honest step.Emotions are not something to fix or avoid. Feeling them fully is part of how growth actually completes.You are not behind. You are learning, becoming, and building something real in your own timing.Listen If You’re:Feeling behind in life or questioning your progressNavigating a transition and unsure who you’re becomingCraving deeper support, connection, or communityLearning how to trust yourself and your decisionsReady to stop rushing your life and start honoring your processMentions + Resources:Follow MaryBeth on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thefierceframework/ Join the email list!

In this episode, I’m diving into something that comes up constantly for ambitious, multi-passionate people, especially ADHDers: what do you do when your goals feel like they’re competing with each other?I talk through my own experience of postponing solo travel plans because of financial instability and the guilt spiral that followed. Was I being responsible or was I betraying myself? That question opened up a much bigger conversation about how we make decisions, what we label as “conflicting priorities,” and how often we frame choices in a way that automatically makes us lose.We explore how zooming out can completely change the decision. Instead of seeing goals as opposing forces, I invite you to look at them as interconnected parts of a larger mission. Financial stability, travel, career growth, rest, parenting, and self-care aren’t separate identities competing for attention. They’re all expressions of what you value.I also talk about self-trust. Not the motivational quote version, but the real kind that’s built through honesty, regular check-ins, and the ability to rebuild trust with yourself when plans change. Because the real fear usually isn’t choosing one goal over another. It’s worrying you won’t come back to the one you paused.If you’ve ever felt stuck between two “right” choices or afraid that picking one path means abandoning another forever, this episode is for you.What You’ll Hear in This Episode:Why goals often feel competitive when they’re actually connectedThe difference between personal goals and socially imposed expectationsHow zooming out helps you make decisions without self-betrayalHow to tell when a choice is a pause versus a quitUsing the “five whys” to uncover your real motivationHow to rebuild self-trust after delays, detours, or setbacksKey Takeaways:Competing goals are often part of the same bigger missionNot every season allows for everything, and that’s not a failureClarifying why you want something matters more than the timelineSelf-care supports responsibility, it doesn’t undermine itChoosing one priority doesn’t mean abandoning the othersThe real decision is often whether you trust yourself to come backIf you’re feeling torn between goals right now, I want you to know this: you’re not doing it wrong. You’re navigating complexity. And that requires more honesty and self-trust than hustle culture ever prepared us for.You’re allowed to choose what fits this season while still honoring the bigger vision for your life. And you’re allowed to change your mind, recalibrate, and rebuild trust with yourself along the way.If this episode resonated, come connect with me on social media or join my newsletter where we keep having these conversations about sustainable growth, aligned decision-making, and doing life without burning yourself out 🖤Follow me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thefierceframework/ Join my email list!

In this episode, I’m talking about something that can feel deeply uncomfortable for driven, growth-oriented people, especially those of us with big dreams and ADHD brains: choosing to pause instead of pushing forward.I explore the difference between being ready and being prepared, and why waiting doesn’t automatically mean you’re quitting, failing, or betraying yourself. Using my own experience of postponing a long-planned trip to Belize, I share how stepping back for a year allowed me to build financial stability, pay down debt, and create habits that made the experience far more aligned and enjoyable when I finally went.We also dig into the tension between action and perfectionism. I talk about how growth often feels awkward and inauthentic at first, and why that doesn’t mean you’re doing it wrong. Becoming a new version of yourself is a process, not a performance, and clarity usually comes after you start moving, not before.This episode is especially for you if you’re wrestling with big decisions, questioning whether you’re moving too fast or too slow, or feeling guilt about postponing a goal that still matters to you. Sometimes, taking a step back isn’t avoidance. Sometimes, it’s strategy.What You’ll Hear in This Episode:The difference between feeling ready and being truly preparedWhy stepping back can actually support long-term goalsHow perfectionism can disguise itself as “waiting for clarity”Why growth can feel forced or inauthentic before it feels naturalHow I reframed postponing my Belize trip as alignment, not failureBalancing practical realities like debt and finances with big life dreamsHow to tell the difference between intentional preparation and avoidanceKey Takeaways:Pausing can be a powerful, aligned choice, not a step backwardGrowth often feels awkward before it feels authenticClarity and confidence are built through action and reflection, not perfectionPostponing a goal doesn’t mean abandoning itFinancial stability and dream-building don’t have to be opposing forcesTrusting yourself sometimes means choosing the slower, steadier pathIf you’re in a season where you’re questioning your pace, I want you to hear this clearly: you’re not behind. Sometimes the most self-trusting thing you can do is give yourself time to prepare, even when everything in you wants to rush ahead.If this episode resonated, come hang out with me on social media or join my newsletter, where I share more about sustainable growth, burnout-free progress, and building a life that actually fits you.You’re allowed to move forward thoughtfully.

In this honest and heartfelt panel conversation, I’m joined by my friends Shauna B and Mary Dibble for a real discussion about burnout, what it actually looks like in everyday life, and why it’s so easy to miss the warning signs until we hit a breaking point.We talk openly about the moments that forced us to slow down, the conditioning that keeps us in survival mode, and the small but powerful mindset shifts that helped us begin refueling without guilt.This isn’t a conversation about doing more or managing your time better. It’s about understanding why burnout happens in the first place and how to reconnect with your energy, clarity, and sense of self before everything feels overwhelming.If you’re a working mom, an overachiever, or someone who gives deeply to others while quietly neglecting yourself, this episode is an invitation to pause, reflect, and remember that you deserve care too.In this episode, we explore:• The subtle and often ignored signs of burnout beyond physical exhaustion • Why so many of us push past our limits and struggle to rest • How societal pressure and survival mode keep women stuck in depletion • Simple, practical ways to recharge your energy even in busy seasons • The mindset shift that allows rest without guilt or self-judgmentKey Takeaways:• Burnout doesn’t always look like being tired. It often shows up as irritability, brain fog, emotional disconnection, or feeling numb • You don’t need a full day off to refuel. Small, intentional pauses can restore energy and clarity • You don’t have to wait for a breakdown to give yourself permission to slow down • Reclaiming your energy starts with awareness, self-trust, and compassionMentions + Resources:Follow MaryBeth on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thefierceframework/ Join MaryBeth’s email list!

In this episode, I’m focusing on a part of goal setting that’s often overlooked but absolutely essential: recognizing progress.So many of us set goals, take action, and then immediately move the finish line without ever pausing to notice what we’ve actually accomplished. I talk about why that pattern is especially draining for people with ADHD, and how failing to acknowledge progress can quietly kill motivation, even when you’re doing “everything right.”We explore how recognizing progress isn’t about forced positivity or fake celebration. It’s about gathering useful data. When you pause and reflect on what’s working, what’s getting easier, and where you’re consistently showing up, you gain clarity about how to set better goals moving forward.I also share how looking at past progress helps you choose more realistic goal sizes and timelines. Instead of guessing what you should be able to do, you can base your future plans on real evidence from your life. That shift alone can reduce overwhelm and self-criticism almost immediately.Throughout the episode, I encourage listeners to treat progress as information, not judgment. When you recognize your effort and results, even the small ones, goal setting becomes more supportive, sustainable, and aligned with how you actually function.If traditional goal setting has left you feeling behind, discouraged, or stuck in all-or-nothing thinking, this episode offers a more compassionate and effective way forward.Key Takeaways: Recognizing progress is a critical part of sustainable goal settingProgress provides data that helps you set more realistic future goalsPausing to reflect prevents burnout and constant goal-shiftingSmall wins matter, especially for maintaining motivation with ADHDProgress is information, not a measure of your worth or disciplineReviewing past effort helps you choose better timelines and goal sizesGoal setting works best when it’s grounded in what’s already happeningMentions + Resources:Join the email list!

Big goals can sound exciting… until they feel overwhelming and impossible to start. In this episode, I’m talking about why breaking goals down into milestones and landmarks is one of the most effective ways to actually make progress, especially if you have ADHD.I share how I think about goals differently now, not as one giant finish line, but as a series of small, achievable steps that build momentum over time. We explore why waiting for the “perfect” block of time often keeps us stuck, and how integrating goals into daily or weekly routines makes success far more realistic.Throughout the episode, I share personal examples from my own life and coaching work, and explain how noticing what is working helps you adjust strategies without shame or burnout.If goal setting has ever felt frustrating, all-or-nothing, or exhausting, this episode will help you rethink progress in a way that’s more supportive, flexible, and sustainable.I also share details about my upcoming Plan Your Year workshop in Colorado Springs, and how it’s designed to help you create realistic goals that actually fit your life.Key TakeawaysBig goals are easier to achieve when you break them into clear, manageable milestonesMilestones act like landmarks that help you track progress and stay motivatedCelebrating progress is essential, especially for ADHD brains that need visible feedbackSmall, consistent actions matter more than waiting for large chunks of timePausing to reflect helps you adjust your approach instead of giving upPast experiences are valuable data for setting better goals moving forwardProgress counts even when it feels slow or messyLinks + Resources:Join the email list!

In this episode of the Fierce Framework Podcast, I’m busting one of the most common myths I see around personal growth and goal setting: the idea that change has to start on January 1.Here’s the truth. You can make a change at any point in the year. You don’t need a new month, a new season, or a clean slate to begin. What actually matters isn’t the date you decide to change, but what you do next and what you keep doing after that decision is made.We talk about why daily follow-through is more powerful than big declarations and how small, consistent actions create real momentum over time. This episode is an invitation to stop waiting for motivation or perfection and start choosing tiny, aligned steps that support the life you want to be living now.I also dive into the importance of letting go. Growth isn’t just about adding more goals or habits. Sometimes the most powerful shift happens when you release commitments, patterns, or expectations that no longer fit who you are becoming. Creating space is often the missing piece that allows alignment and clarity to show up.If you’ve been feeling stuck, behind, or like you “missed your chance” to start fresh this year, this episode will remind you that you are an active participant in your life design. You get to choose again. You get to adjust. And you get to start today.Key Takeaways:1. You can start at any point in the year.  There is no “right time” to change. The best time is when you decide you’re ready to take the action to implement the change. 2. Decisions matter, but follow-through matters more.  A decision sets direction, but daily action is what creates real transformation.3. Small steps are powerful.  You don’t need a full reset. Tiny, aligned actions done consistently move the needle in big ways.4. Letting go is part of growth.  Releasing what no longer fits creates space for clarity, energy, and aligned opportunities.5. You are designing your life in real time.  Your future isn’t on autopilot. You get to choose, adjust, and shape it as you go.Links + Resources:Join the email list!

This episode is all about something I see come up often for ambitious women and entrepreneurs: the tension between having a plan and staying flexible when life inevitably throws a curveball.I absolutely believe in having a plan. It gives you clarity, direction, and helps build momentum. But what I don’t believe in is rigid planning that leaves you feeling behind, ashamed, or stuck the moment things don’t go exactly as expected. Life rarely follows a straight line, and that doesn’t mean you’re doing it wrong.I share my own experiences with setting goals, falling off track, and learning how to get back on track without spiraling into self-criticism. I share about why getting back on track is far more realistic than staying perfectly on track, and how flexibility actually makes your plans stronger, not weaker.This episode is especially for you if you’re heading into a new year or new season of life and feeling pressure to do it “right.” Instead of waiting for the perfect moment, I invite you to focus on small, intentional actions you can start or continue right now. We also explore the importance of letting go of what no longer fits so you can create space for what truly aligns with your values.If you’ve ever felt controlled by your plan instead of supported by it, this conversation will help you reframe planning as a tool for growth, confidence, and forward movement rather than a measuring stick for your worth.Key Takeaways:A plan is meant to support you, not control you.  Your plan is a tool. You’re allowed to change it when your life, priorities, or energy change.Getting back on track matters more than staying on track.  Life will knock you off course. That’s normal. The skill is learning how to return without judgment or wasted emotional energy.Flexibility is not failure, it’s necessary. Adjusting your plan doesn’t mean you lacked discipline. It means you’re paying attention and responding intentionally.Small, consistent actions create real momentum. You don’t need a full life overhaul. Tiny, aligned steps taken regularly are incredibly powerful.Letting go creates space for alignment. Releasing habits, goals, or commitments that no longer serve you opens the door for growth and opportunities that fit who you are now and who you’re becoming. You are an active participant in your life design. Your future isn’t something that just happens to you. You get to choose, adjust, and intentionally shape it as you go. Links + Resources:Join the email list!

"Failure is success in progress" - Albert EinsteinIn this episode, I’m digging into one of my favorite (and most uncomfortable) topics: failure, and why it’s never the final word, and how important it is to reframe failure and learn from the messy middle of entrepreneurship.I’m sharing why I believe failure only truly happens when we stop trying and how reflecting on our past missteps can actually guide us toward clearer, more aligned goals. As I prep for the new year, I’ve been working on being curious when I look at the things that didn’t go as planned (#ADHDlife) and asking what those moments are trying to teach me.We talk about why success has to be defined on our own terms, how to stay curious instead of critical, and why perfection has no place in sustainable entrepreneurship. I also share a few behind-the-scenes stories, and a pretty vulnerable example, about how I used those experiences to adjust, improve, and move forward.If you’ve been feeling stuck, disappointed, or spiraling in self-doubt, this episode is a reminder that your “failures” are often your best teachers. ✨ Key TakeawaysFailure isn’t final—quitting is. Most setbacks are simply data, feedback, or redirection.Reflection allows for clarity. Looking back with compassion helps you see what worked, what didn’t, and where you want to go next.Curiosity beats criticism. Approaching mistakes with openness leads to more useful insights than judging yourself.ADHD and entrepreneurship are messy—but powerful. Detours, unfinished plans, and imperfect follow-through aren’t moral failings; they’re part of the process.Learning happens through doing. From workshops to daily decision-making, each “mistake” becomes a stepping-stone when you keep moving forward.Course-corrections are normal. Realigning your goals doesn’t mean you failed; it means you’re paying attention to what you actually need.You’re not alone in the hard parts. Every entrepreneur—yes, even the wildly successful ones—has stumbled, recalibrated, and kept going. Mentions + Resources:Join the email list!

Today’s episode is all about something I think we all need a little more of: intentional reflection. I share why reflecting on your wins, challenges, and growth from 2025 (or any season of life) is one of the most powerful ways to set yourself up for meaningful progress. This episode is all about baby steps, honest self-awareness, and aligning your life with your actual values instead of the “shoulds” or the pressure to overhaul everything overnight.I also talk through:How to reflect without spiraling into shame or self-criticismWhy small, consistent actions matter WAY more than dramatic life overhaulsHow to use your past experiences (yes, including mistakes) as a guide, not a weaponWhat to do when life shifts your path in unexpected ways. When goals don’t happen, there’s always a reason, and it’s a solvable one. Instead of blaming yourself, look for gaps, needs, and missing support.Intentional living happens through tiny, aligned choices. You don’t need to blow up your life to change it. You just need to start where you are.The role accountability, community, and support can play in keeping you grounded and moving forwardPlus, I share a behind-the-scenes peek at the January planning workshop I’m creating, along with some of the reflection questions and prompts I’m building out for it. If you’re craving clarity, direction, and a gentle reset, this episode is perfect for you.Get your reflection questions! The reflection email is actually going out this Saturday!

In this episode, I’m sharing a behind-the-scenes look at my upcoming Plan Your Year workshop for local entrepreneurs here in Colorado Springs. We’re diving into one of my favorite topics, reflection and realignment, because before we set new goals, we need to pause, reflect, and take stock of where we’ve been.I talk about what it really means to reflect intentionally, not just listing wins and losses, but really asking ourselves “where am I headed and do I want to stay on this path?”, “who am I becoming? Is that who I want to be?” Whether you’re planning a big business pivot, adjusting your personal goals, or simply craving a reset before the new year, this episode will help you realign with your values and set a stronger foundation for what’s next.I also open up about my own journey of making intentional decisions, including one of the biggest ones in my life, and how reflection gave me the clarity to make it confidently.Finally, I invite you to join me in person for the Plan Your Year workshop in Colorado Springs, where we’ll dive deeper into these topics together and design a plan for 2026 that feels grounded, intentional, and uniquely yours.💡 Key TakeawaysRest is productive. Pausing gives your mind and body the space to prepare for what’s next.Reflection is realignment. Look at your past year not just for what you achieved, but for what you learned about yourself.Ask deeper questions. “Who am I becoming?” can reveal more than “What did I accomplish?”Check in regularly. You don’t need to wait for January to realign — reflection can (and should!) be a rhythm throughout the year.Your energy is data. Feeling drained doesn’t always mean you’re off-track; sometimes meaningful work simply takes energy. That’s okay. 🗓️ Join the WorkshopIf you’re local to Colorado Springs, come join me for the Plan Your Year Workshop — an in-person event designed to help entrepreneurs and creatives reflect, realign, and set a plan that actually feels good.

In this episode, I talk about what it really means to “do it scared.” You’ve probably heard that phrase before, but actually living it is a whole different story. I open up about the times I’ve had to take action before feeling fully ready, and how I learned to move through fear instead of waiting for it to disappear.We’ll explore how to break down big, overwhelming goals into smaller, doable steps so they don’t feel so intimidating. I also share simple ways to start building confidence, both the general self-trust kind and the skill-based kind, so you can keep moving forward even when fear is tagging along.By the end of this episode, I hope you’ll feel encouraged to take that next small, aligned step toward something that matters to you (even if it’s a little scary).Key Takeaways:Fear doesn’t go away before you take action. It fades because you take action.Breaking big goals into smaller, manageable steps makes them less overwhelming.Choose challenges that stretch you just enough to grow without sending you into panic mode.Reflect on your progress regularly, both wins and lessons, to build self-trust and momentum.You don’t have to feel “ready” to begin. You just have to start.If you’re ready to plan your next chapter with more clarity and ease, I’d love to have you join me for my Plan Your Year Workshop coming up in January!

In this episode, I’m sharing my thoughts on something that’s been frustrating me lately. That weird combination of compliment and comparison. You know the kind: “You’re so brave, I could never do that.”I talk about why that mindset can hold us back, how confidence actually develops through action (not waiting until we feel ready), and why assuming things are easier for others keeps us stuck.I also open up about my own experiences with fear, insecurity, and being misunderstood as “confident” when I was really just taking action anyway. I wasn’t confident when I started. I was scared, too. A little lost, overwhelmed, not sure where to start, and terrified of making a mistake. If I can do it, so can you! My hope is that this conversation empowers you to stop comparing, start experimenting, and move toward what lights you up. Even if it scares you a little.Takeaways: Stop assuming someone else “has it easier.” You have what it takes, too.Fear and self-doubt are normal; they don’t mean you’re on the wrong path.Do it scared. You don’t have to feel confident or ready before you start. You can choose to take action anyway. Start small. Choose a baby step that’s small enough to be doable, but still big enough to be intimidating. Choose something that will stretch, but not break, you. Know you’ll fall down. Look, “failing” is just a part of learning. Every baby falls down while they’re learning to walk. So, expect yourself to fall a few times when you’re learning something new. It’s all part of the process. Links & ResourcesSign up for a free mini coaching session: https://calendly.com/thefierceframework/business-strategy-session Follow MaryBeth on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thefierceframework/ Subscribe to the newsletter for self-care reminders and business tips: https://thefierceframework.myflodesk.com/belize Shoutout to Squadda B and the 126ers for the awesome music in my intro and intermission. 

In this episode, I dive into the power of experimentation and decision-making, especially when fear and uncertainty try to hold us back. I share my own journey of learning to let go of shame and embarrassment around not always knowing what I want, and how small, intentional steps have helped me discover new paths. Throughout the episode, I encourage you to embrace your individuality, explore without shame, and view even small experiments as a way to build clarity, confidence, and momentum.If you’re ready to step outside your comfort zone and start discovering what truly lights you up, this episode will give you both inspiration and practical ideas to start today.Takeaways: Experimentation creates clarity. You don’t need to have everything figured out before you start — small steps reveal new paths and options.Overcome the fear of the unknown. Let go of shame or embarrassment about not knowing what you want; learning comes through doing.Avoid getting stuck in research mode. Do just enough research to feel safe, then take action and adjust as you go.Communicate when you pivot. Experimentation isn’t flakiness — it’s growth. Clear communication helps manage expectations.Embrace individuality. You don’t have to do things the conventional way; make it your own and allow it to evolve.Thanks, Shauna for the “sticking a toe in” verbiage.

Feeling anxious about stepping outside your comfort zone? In this episode of The Fierce Framework Podcast, I share my personal journey of building confidence step by step, even when I felt scared or unsure. You’ll learn practical strategies for managing social anxiety, taking small, meaningful actions, and reframing discomfort as growth. Whether you’re an introvert, a beginner at something new, or just looking to feel more self-assured, these gentle, proven tips will help you develop real confidence you can trust.And if you’d like to connect with me beyond the podcast, come hang out with me on Instagram or TikTok at @TheFierceFramework. I’d love to hear your thoughts and experiences!Takeaways: Confidence is a skill, not a trait. You build it by taking action even when you’re scared, not by waiting to feel ready.Reframe discomfort as growth. Feeling anxious or awkward doesn’t mean you’re failing; it’s a sign you’re stretching your comfort zone.Practice gentle self-reflection. After new experiences, look for the ways you grew rather than what went “wrong” and how you can be more prepared next time. Separate discomfort from danger. Being uncomfortable isn’t the same as being unsafe. Recognize the difference and keep building trust in yourself.

In this episode, I’m opening up about something I think so many of us experience but rarely talk about: those natural cycles of low energy, lost motivation, and dips in creativity. As someone with ADHD (and who’s learning to work with my brain instead of against it), I’ve had to figure out ways to navigate these seasons with a lot more compassion and flexibility.I share how I handle days when my energy crashes, why I no longer expect myself to be “on” all the time, and the practical strategies I use to stay consistent.. From simplifying my to-do list to preparing for support ahead of time, I’ve learned that managing energy is less about trying to fix myself and more like nurturing a houseplant. Key Takeaways:Your energy and motivation aren’t broken; they’re just cyclical.Resting and simplifying doesn’t make you lazy, it makes you sustainable.Planning for help when you’re feeling good sets you up for success during the harder days.Consistency is about maintenance, not perfection or constant growth.Treat yourself with the same compassion and patience you’d give to something you’re caring for.Resources: Sign up for a free mini coaching session: https://calendly.com/thefierceframework/business-strategy-session Follow me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thefierceframework/ Join coworking this Saturday: https://thefierceframework.myflodesk.com/fk1i4j2u1k Shoutout to Squadda B and the 126ers for the awesome music in my intro and intermission. 

In this episode, I’m diving into one of the most important (and honestly, hardest) skills I’ve had to learn as a woman with ADHD: setting boundaries and learning to say no.If you’ve ever felt like you’re carrying the weight of everyone else’s expectations while your own priorities get pushed to the side, you’re not alone. I share how I’ve been practicing clearer communication about who I am, what I value, and what I’m available for (both in business and in my personal life).I also open up about my budgeting journey and how it’s forced me to take a closer look at where my time, money, and energy are really going. Saying no to things that don’t align with my long-term goals has been tough, but it’s also incredibly freeing!We’ll talk about:Why “no” is a complete sentence (and why it feels so hard to say it).How communicating your values can strengthen your relationships instead of straining them.My real-life examples of prioritizing what matters most, from debt payoff to daily routines.Practical ways to start practicing boundaries even in small, everyday decisions.If you’ve been struggling to balance other people’s needs with your own goals, this episode will give you permission (and some practical tools) to start choosing yourself first.Boundaries protect your energy, time, and priorities not just from others, but from yourself.ADHD makes prioritization trickier, but it also makes it even more important to focus on what really matters.Clear communication helps empower others to respect your needs and support you, whether in friendships, family, or business.Saying “no” is a skill you can practice. I encourage you to start small, it does get easier with time!Resources: Sign up for a free mini coaching session: https://calendly.com/thefierceframework/business-strategy-session Follow MaryBeth on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thefierceframework/ Subscribe to the newsletter for self-care reminders and business tips: https://thefierceframework.myflodesk.com/belize 

In this episode, I’m sharing my personal journey of shifting from constant hustle to intentionally embracing rest and self-care. I talk about how “romanticizing rest” became a key part of my Fierce Framework, and how treating rest as something sacred has changed the way I show up in both life and business.I know that rest isn’t always accessible or easy, so I’m also naming the privilege that can come with having more spaciousness. But I truly believe that rest, in whatever form you can access, is powerful. Especially for entrepreneurs like us who are constantly pouring our energy into others.If you’ve been feeling like you need permission to slow down or make rest a priority, this episode is for you. I’m also sharing a few ways to make rest feel more intentional, cozy, and supportive in your everyday life. And if you’re curious about working together, I’ve got details about my free mini coaching sessions too.Rest is not the opposite of productivity. When done intentionally, rest can boost your clarity, creativity, and ability to show up fully in your work."Romanticizing" rest makes it feel more sacred and special. Think cozy coffee rituals, reading with candles, or intentional time outside. Romanticizing doesn’t have to be fancy to be effective.Entrepreneurs often burn out by pouring all their energy into others. Recharging is actually a crucial part of your job when you're building a purpose-driven business.Rest doesn’t have to feel natural right away. Like any practice, creating restful routines takes intention, experimentation, and time.You don’t have to “earn” your rest. Worthiness is not tied to productivity. You are allowed to rest simply because you’re human.Self-care is a process, not a one-off event. Whether it’s hammocking in a park or lighting a candle during your morning coffee, small moments add up.📝 Episode Takeaways:🔗 Mentions + Resources:Sign up for a free mini coaching session: https://calendly.com/thefierceframework/business-strategy-session Follow MaryBeth on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thefierceframework/ Subscribe to the newsletter for self-care reminders and business tips: https://thefierceframework.myflodesk.com/belize 

If you’ve ever felt like your needs are “too much” or kept changing for “no reason,” you’re not alone. I’m sharing some real talk about what it means to accept your ever-changing needs (without guilt), how I’ve learned to ask for help, and why building a business that fits you is so powerful, especially when you’re neurodivergent.I talk about how our needs shift, why that’s not a problem, and how trying to power through usually just makes things worse. I’m also sharing some of the tools and practices that have helped me (not because I’ve got it all figured out, but because I’m in it with you!)We’ll talk about self-care (that doesn’t always feel good right away), asking for help (yes, even with laundry), and why building a business your way is a whole lot easier when you stop trying to be someone you’re not.Let this episode be your reminder that your needs are valid, you don’t have to do it all alone, and that one of the beautiful things about being an entrepreneur is building a business that fits you. Takeaways: Having needs doesn’t mean you’re needy, it means you’re human. Changing your mind or your routines doesn’t mean you’re flaky, it means you’re paying attentionAccepting help is a strength, not a failure. Outsourcing everyday tasks can free up brain space for creativity. “Doing less” is strategic, not lazy. If you’re an ADHDer struggling with the guilt of needing things others don’t seem to struggle with, you’re not alone!👋 Stay Connected:I send out a short and sweet Saturday email with encouragement and coaching thoughts → https://thefierceframework.myflodesk.com/belize  Want a quick check-in with some support?

If you’re feeling behind and overwhelmed, you’re not alone. In this episode, I talk about what it really means to make progress, especially when you're navigating entrepreneurship with ADHD. I use a rock climbing analogy (trust me, it works) to explain how we can meet ourselves where we are, instead of beating ourselves up over where we “should” be..I also share some honest updates about where I’m at, why I’ve been a little off my routine, and what I’ve learned from showing up anyway.

In this episode, I’m sharing the mindset shifts and life lessons that came through during my solo trip to Belize. We cover truths about self-worth, setting boundaries, and why so many of us still feel like we have to earn our right to take up space. If you’ve been overthinking your next move, shrinking yourself to make others comfortable, or feeling stuck in routines that no longer fit, don’t miss this episode. Takeaways: Hard conversations lead to powerful outcomes. Whether it’s setting boundaries with a boss or asking for a sale, learning to speak up with clarity and courage is essential for achieving the results you truly want.Anxiety is often a signal, not a stop sign. When you pause to ask yourself, “What’s really going on here?” you gain clarity. Naming your fear often points you toward your next best step.Your journey is yours to take, it’s not about who else understands it. Pursuing your purpose, even when it doesn’t make sense to others, will always be more fulfilling than living someone else’s version of success.You don’t have to earn the right to take up space. You are inherently worthy. Your energy and presence are valuable just as they are. They are gifts to those you share them with. If it feels “not worth it,” ask yourself: is the thing not worth it, or do you feel like you’re not worth it? Your desire alone makes something worth exploring. You’re worthy of trying new things simply because they light you up.Resources: Amickoleh’s linktree: https://linktr.ee/onthecuspwellness?fbclid=PAZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAafUeBe_nc2lw4x1LfTiswhU29jwfN4wUb4rwJSas4y4HJA5E59tkHSN9Xs_jg_aem_1SRBvmcMupff3vb2CjRHDA Follow Amickoleh on Instagram: www.instagram.com/onthecuspwellness Book your FREE Business Strategy Session with MaryBeth here: https://calendly.com/thefierceframework/business-strategy-session Shoutout to Squadda B and the 126ers for the awesome music in my intro and intermission. 

Amickoleh and I talk money mindset, mental clutter, and giving yourself a little grace. In this episode, we discuss how working through your blocks, both emotional and financial, can help you build a business that actually feels good. If you’re growing something from the ground up, this one’s a gentle reminder that you’re doing better than you think.Takeaways:Working through your money blocks is powerful because money helps you make the impact you want to make in the world. Money allows you to give generously in support of causes you care about as well as hire the support you need to allow you to spend more time in your zone of genius. Clearing out the mental and emotional clutter gives you invaluable real estate in your own heart and mind to use for focusing on and creating what it is that you want to create. Be patient with yourself - give yourself grace. This is the first time you’ve been here, doing this. You’re creating a business out of thin air. Don’t be too hard on yourself. 🖤Resources: Amickoleh’s linktree (including her podcast, upcoming workshop, and newsletter!): https://linktr.ee/onthecuspwellness?fbclid=PAZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAafUeBe_nc2lw4x1LfTiswhU29jwfN4wUb4rwJSas4y4HJA5E59tkHSN9Xs_jg_aem_1SRBvmcMupff3vb2CjRHDA Follow Amickoleh on Instagram: www.instagram.com/onthecuspwellness The Science of Getting Rich: https://bookshop.org/p/books/the-science-of-getting-rich/18881537?ean=9781603868198&next=t Book your FREE Business Strategy Session here: https://calendly.com/thefierceframework/business-strategy-session Shoutout to Squadda B and the 126ers for the awesome music in my intro and intermission. 

Tune into this conversation with my friend Amickoleh as we dig into how there’s not one, “right” cookie cutter way to build your business. Instead, it’s so important to figure out what works for you, be willing to accept help, and make sure you’re filling your own cup (especially if you're an ADHD entrepreneur owner like me!). Whether you’re tired of the hustle or simply craving a more authentic, intuitive way to run your business, this conversation will remind you that you get to do it differently, and that’s your greatest strength.Takeaways:Two of the biggest lessons I’ve learned as an ADHD entrepreneur: 1. There’s no “right way” to do entrepreneurship. You have to figure out what works for you. 2. There’s nothing wrong with you. There is a difference between having time and having capacity - especially when we’re holding space and pouring our energy into others. It’s important to accept help and pour into ourselves so that we have the energy and capacity to show up for our clients.  Just because you can, doesn't mean you have to, or should. Feeling obligated to do things just because you’re good at them is how we get stuck in our zone of excellence instead of our zone of genius. Give yourself permission to pivot and pursue those things that truly light you up and that only you can do - your zone of genius.  This episode is your permission slip to trust your pace, your process, and your path. Tune in for a refreshing perspective on success, support, and sustainable growth.Resources: Amickoleh’s linktree (including her podcast, upcoming workshop, and newsletter!): https://linktr.ee/onthecuspwellness?fbclid=PAZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAafUeBe_nc2lw4x1LfTiswhU29jwfN4wUb4rwJSas4y4HJA5E59tkHSN9Xs_jg_aem_1SRBvmcMupff3vb2CjRHDA Follow Amickoleh on Instagram: www.instagram.com/onthecuspwellness The Big Leap: https://bookshop.org/a/84046/9780061735363 Book your FREE Business Strategy Session here: https://calendly.com/thefierceframework/business-strategy-session Shoutout to Squadda B and the 126ers for the awesome music in my intro and intermission.

Takeaways: You’re not ready until you’re ready. It’s easy to look back and beat yourself for not taking a huge leap earlier, but sometimes you’re not ready until you’re ready. Starting small allows you to become the person who is ready to take the next, bigger step while you’re taking those small steps. “So many of us are afraid of being wrong that we don’t try anything”. But you’re allowed to mess up. You’re allowed to make mistakes. It’s part of being human. Listening to your intuition is just like learning anything else. You have to practice it. Sometimes, you have to learn what your own voice sounds like. Coaching slots are open for those ready to implement these strategies and take their growth to the next level. ⁠https://calendly.com/thefierceframework/business-strategy-session⁠Link to Focus Freebie: https://thefierceframework.myflodesk.com/focusShoutout to Squadda B and the 126ers for the awesome music in my intro and intermission.

Take some action. Be willing to try something, and follow the breadcrumbs from there.“You absolutely can do this. You just have to decide, and give yourself permission to do it, and to try.” “It doesn’t matter where you are in your journey. It matters that you are believing in yourself and that you are taking the action towards that belief.”Do not be the first one to tell yourself “no”. You will never know until you try. Just because you’re challenging the norm, that doesn’t mean you’re gonna fail. Links: Kristina on LinkedIn:https://www.linkedin.com/in/kristina-m-green/Kristina’s website:https://cardigancareers.co/Focus Freebie:https://thefierceframework.myflodesk.com/focusShoutout to Squadda B and the 126ers for the awesome music in my intro and intermission.

Takeaways: Self discovery and shadow work are so important to holding onto the belief that you can succeed at what you’re working towards.  We’re afraid of success because we don’t know what it feels like yet - it’s basically our survival brain telling us that success is dangerous because it’s unfamiliar.  Manage your energy by setting your intentions for the day. Journal on 3 things you’re most grateful for, 3 wins from yesterday, and 3 target wins for today.  You can’t do everything all at once and you can’t do it alone.  Keep your wins visual and easy to access. Those times when you most need to be reminded of your wins, you usually don’t have the energy to go search for your wins.  Links:  Kristina on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kristina-m-green/ Kristina’s website: https://cardigancareers.co/ Book Recommendations (affiliate links):  The Gap and the Gain: https://bookshop.org/a/84046/9781401964375 The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari: https://bookshop.org/a/84046/9780062515674   MaryBeth’s Focus Freebie: https://thefierceframework.myflodesk.com/focus Shoutout to Squadda B and the 126ers for the awesome music in my intro and intermission. 

Focus Freebie: https://thefierceframework.myflodesk.com/focus Takeaways: If your year was the result of you repeating today 364 times, would you meet the goals you set for yourself this year? Every day is a building block in the lego castle of your life.   Sometimes we romanticize the end result, the goal, but we don’t want to actually take the journey, or do the work that reaching that goal would require.  Your “why” is powerful because it determines how you work towards your goals. Accomplishing your goal is a byproduct of your habits and routines.  Everybody knows what they would do with a million dollars, but what would you do with a thousand? What if you got a million dollars, but it was in chunks of a thousand?  Shoutout to Squadda B and the 126ers for the awesome music in my intro and intermission. 

Plan Your Year Workshop: https://thefierceframework.myflodesk.com/workshop  I am probably the last person to push resolutions, so we’re gonna discuss resolutions from a pretty neutral position. I don’t think they’re necessarily necessary (I think you’re doing great!). Also, there’s nothing magical about the beginning of the year. You can set goals and redirect at any point during the year. Hopefully, that takes some pressure off. Now, let’s dive in!  Takeaways:  Introspection and reflection are powerful tools to help determine how you feel about where you’re headed in life and if a course correction is in order.  Avoidance is a common cause of doing things we don’t necessarily want to be doing. Pinpointing what you’re avoiding can help uncover the root cause of a symptom.  Addressing the underlying reason you have a habit you’re wanting to change can be a powerful tool to help change it.  Being honest with yourself is crucial when it comes to determining what changes to make, what is sustainable for you, and what goals are attainable.   You’re human. That means you’re not perfect. Having a plan for when (not “if”) you mess up can be really helpful for getting back on track after a slip-up.  You might not know what resources or support you need to actually achieve your goals until you start actually going for it. That’s okay. Sometimes you just have to start in order to figure out what else you need along the way.  The only failure is when you give up on yourself. Making a mistake isn’t failure. It doesn’t make you a failure. Slipping up isn’t failure. As long as you haven’t given up, you’re still making progress. I hope you’re so proud of yourself. I am. 

Plan Your Year Workshop: https://thefierceframework.myflodesk.com/workshop  Takeaways: Take time to rest because we could all use a break this time of year, and sometimes it takes slowing down to gain perspective and reflect so you can realign for the next season.  Reflecting can help us gain insight and clarity for where we’re headed next. Your yearly reflection can look however you want. Journaling works for a lot of people, but you can also have a conversation with your partner, bestie, or mom. Maybe reviewing your Spotify wrapped, photo album, or instagram stories is more your speed. Ask yourself: What did I learn? What made me feel alive? What brought me joy and purpose?  Be intentional about what you want to take with you into 2025 and what you want to leave behind. It’s easy to get into a routine and just stay there without really considering if it’s still working for you.  Before setting any more goals, Celebrate your wins! (Too often we gloss over our wins and move onto the next without acknowledging all we've accomplished)

Plan Your Year Workshop: https://thefierceframework.myflodesk.com/workshop  Takeaways: Boundaries are especially important during the holiday season, and they’re not just for bad things. It’s okay to have boundaries for “too much of a good thing”.  Rest is important during this time of year. I know it’s easy to let self-care slip when things get busy, but it’s even more important to take care of yourself when you have a ton going on! I’m a huge advocate for doing less, but it’s also important to remember to make room for what you want to do. Identify a couple of things that bring you joy and prioritize them this season.  Shoutout to Squadda B and the 126ers for the awesome music in my intro and intermission. 

There are a couple of questions that have been so powerful in helping me make my business more sustainable: 1) How can it be fun? 2) How can I make it easy? Takeaways: - How can I make sure the things that don’t have to be hard aren’t harder than they need to be? - You only fail when you quit trying, so what can you do to make it easier to not give up? - When you don’t realize that you’re allowed to do something differently than how you thought it was supposed to be, then you don’t always realize you have the choice to do something differently, but you do.
