In this episode of the Business Bravery Podcast, I’m sharing a shift that has changed the way I run my online business.

Instead of planning for your best week, plan for your worst one.

For so many coaches and service providers, we build around the week where energy is high and motivation is flowing. But what about the weeks with brain fog, chronic pain flare ups, increased family caring demands, or just low capacity? If your business only works when you’re at your peak, it creates pressure. And that pressure quietly chips away at consistency and income stability.

I talk about how I used to plan as my most optimistic self. And how that left me feeling behind the minute chronic pain flared up or family caring demands increased. So now I design my systems, batching, automation, and boundaries around my lowest energy week.

Because if it works then, it works anytime.

If you’re building your online business alongside health challenges, family responsibilities, and everything else you’re already holding, this one might be what you need right now.

We’ll explore what to remove, what to automate, what to delegate, and how protecting your energy actually protects your income.

In this episode of the Business Bravery Podcast, I chat with physical therapist and coach, Jen Ushold, about why pain doesn’t have to be a life sentence. Jen shares how combining pain science, mindset, and mental fitness helps people manage chronic pain and reclaim their lives. 

We dive into how the nervous system works, why education and exercise are game changers in chronic pain management, and how coaches can use these lessons to support their own clients.

This conversation really resonated with me, as I also manage my own chronic pain while balancing my online business, and I know how powerful knowledge and mindset can be in making progress.

Jen also opens up about her personal journey—navigating a tough divorce, investing in her online business, and bravely stepping onto new stages to spread her message. 

Whether you’re a coach signing your first clients or creating consistent income, you’ll walk away inspired and equipped with tools to keep moving forward.
