In this episode of Your Loving Kick in the Pants, I shared some thoughts that came to me after attending a BNI business meeting and listening to a podcast during my drive home. I reflected on the difference between acting with intensity and acting with intentionality, especially when it comes to making decisions in business and life. I talked about how easy it is to get excited and jump into things quickly (like I did years ago wit...
In this episode, I share marketing and messaging tips for introverts and ideas for doing scary things to grow your business. A follower requested this topic, and I was excited since I'm super extroverted but know many of you aren’t. I explained how introverts can still show up, set boundaries, and make real connections without feeling drained.
I also shared my client Laura’s A to Z business guide and used "MARCI" as an...
In this episode, I open up about why I moved my family from Utah to South Carolina and share a powerful post by Sarah Steed about the struggles many Mormon women face with self-worth and trying to meet impossible standards. I really related to her words because I grew up in that culture and it made me think about how I want to raise my daughters differently.
I also talk about my own struggles with body image as a personal trainer an...
Hey friends, this episode is all about why I love using my voice on social media and this podcast. I started because I enjoy connecting, but today I had to vent a bit about all the cold, impersonal DMs I get from people trying to sell without even knowing me. Some are so bad, they don’t even know what state I live in!
But I’m not just here to complain, I shared real tips on how to reach out the right way. Things like starting genuin...
In this episode of Your Loving Kick in the Pants, I talked about the power of pausing to reflect on our “why.” My husband and I have been re-evaluating our goals, finances, and time, even considering big moves like selling our house, all to realign with our bigger purpose.
The main takeaway? Delegate with intention. I shared a funny eighth-grade story about a leadership shirt mishap that taught me why doing everything alone doesn’t ...
In this episode of Your Loving Kick in the Pants, I share a powerful strategy from my books Becoming Boss Minded and The Accountability Code to help you master productivity and time management. It starts with being intentional, brain dumping tasks, identifying non-negotiables, and building a flexible, purpose-driven schedule.
I walk you through a five-step process: write everything down, identify habits, set intentions, prioritize, ...
In this episode, I talk about balancing authenticity and professionalism, especially when showing up on social media and in business. I share how I recorded this podcast without makeup or getting ready because it was more important to stay consistent than to look perfect. I want people to know it’s okay to show up as they are, and that trying to be perfect can often stop us from taking action. I also share a personal story from whe...
In this episode, I dive into imposter syndrome, and why I no longer believe in it. Inspired by a viral clip of Olympic rugby player Ilona Maher, I share how building confidence through honesty and growth makes the idea of being a fraud feel irrelevant. I also reflect on a personal story involving my dad and learning the difference between humility and self-belief.
I break down what imposter syndrome is, why it sticks around, and how...
I’m so excited to share that Becoming Bossminded is officially out on Amazon, and it even hit bestseller status! This book is for anyone who wants to build a business that works with their life, not against it. It’s full of real stories, practical tools, and lessons I’ve learned the hard way to help you avoid common mistakes and feel less alone on your journey.
Writing this reminded me why I started: to create something real and hel...
In this episode, I shared some exciting news, my new book Becoming Boss Minded is releasing on May 22nd, and I need your help to reach bestseller status! Even though I'm losing my voice, I had to jump on to tell you about all the bonuses you can get if you buy the book during the special release window. The book is all about helping you take control of your life and business using the Boss Minded framework, which I created from...
In this episode of Your Loving Kick In the Pants, I shared two stories, one about a woman who gave up on her business, and another who was pitching the wrong way. Both reminded me how easy it is to lose focus in business. That’s why I created the Becoming Boss Minded framework, to help women move forward with clarity and purpose.
I walked through five steps: desire more, define the cost, find your edge, create your version of succes...
In this episode, I share my excitement about recording the audiobook for Becoming Boss Minded and the journey it took to get there. I reflect on the mistakes and lessons I’ve learned in business, from managing a team to learning how to pay myself properly. I talk about the power of being direct, both in my coaching style and in how I’ve helped others grow. I also open up about personal struggles, like dealing with COVID and family ...
In this episode, I talked about the sixth step of the Accountability Code—feedback, which is all about using past experiences to make better choices moving forward. I shared a personal story from my upcoming book Becoming Boss Minded called The Art of Saying No, where I learned the hard way that helping too much can lead to burnout. I explained how saying yes too often, even with good intentions, can hurt your mental health and rel...
In this episode, I talked about the fifth step of the accountability code, commitment—and how it’s different from just taking action or implementing ideas. Implementing is when you practice or try something, like brainstorming or writing, but commitment is when you actually finish the task and can prove it’s done. I shared how one of my clients struggled with staying consistent on social media after a group challenge ended, and we ...
In this episode, I talked about implementing, the fourth step of the Accountability Code. It comes after reflection, humility, and planning. Implementing means taking action on what matters to you, even if it's not perfect. Many people make plans but never follow through, so I reminded everyone to just start, even if it’s messy.
I also shared a personal story about learning to share responsibilities at home. I couldn’t do it all...
In this episode, I talked about planning as the third step in the Accountability Code, right after reflection and humility. Planning isn’t just writing stuff down, it’s about creating a meaningful roadmap that actually helps you succeed. I shared how putting “tennis friends” on my vision board led to real friendships just by showing up and being open.
I also broke down different types of planning, yearly, quarterly, monthly, weekly,...
In this podcast, Elora Hill reflects on her journey with humility, sharing how negative past experiences at a toxic workplace made her initially resistant to feedback. The Accountability Accelerator program helped her shift her mindset, viewing humility as honest self-awareness rather than weakness. Now, as a mom, Elora focuses on what she can do within her limited time, reducing stress and working with more intention. This transfo...
In this episode, I talk about the role of reflection in the accountability code, sharing a personal story from my book, Doubt Yourself No More. I reflect on trying out for cheerleading in high school, initially to prove a point, but later realizing how reflection evolves when you take action. I explain that reflection is about thinking through your goals, values, and challenges, and as you act on them, your reflection changes, help...
In this episode, I share how to set a clear eight-week goal using the Accountability Code, a framework designed to help you take action. Many people struggle with defining their focus, so I walk through six key steps: reflection (identifying your goal), humility (recognizing what’s holding you back), planning (creating a roadmap), implementing (taking action), commitment (declaring your goal), and feedback (evaluating progress). Th...
In this episode, I talked about accountability and why traditional plans don’t always work. I shared personal experiences, like writing my book and learning to adjust plans to fit my own needs. I also highlighted stories from my clients, like Kim, who successfully hosted events by adapting the accountability code, and Susan, who realized she needed to trust herself more to improve her business. The key takeaway is that being accoun...
