In this episode of the Business Bravery Podcast, I’m chatting with Grace, artist, creative educator, and founder of The Serendipitous Crafter.

We talk about how she turned junk journaling into a small but growing creative business. All while working full time, supporting family, and navigating caregiving responsibilities.

Grace shares how junk journaling started as a way to manage anxiety during the pandemic. And how perfectionism almost stopped her before she even began. We get into what helped her move through that. Including creating a “trash journal,” leaning on community, and giving herself permission to start messy.

You’ll hear how she built confidence by taking small, consistent steps. How online community played a big role in her growth. And why creative self care can quietly become something more sustainable over time.

This one is especially for coaches and service providers building an online business alongside real life. If you’ve been feeling stretched, tired, or unsure you have the capacity to start, this conversation might be what you need right now.

In this episode, I reconnect with Latoya Clark, the inspiring CEO and Founder of Butterfly Chats Media, Social Wellness Consultant, Health Educator, and Patient Advocate.

Latoya and I last spoke in Episode 41, and it was such a joy to catch up and hear how her journey has evolved since then. She shares the brave steps she’s taken—like moving out on her own and planning her first long-distance trip—and how she’s learned to embrace her health challenges while creating a meaningful life and business.

We explore the power of small, consistent steps in building confidence and momentum, especially when navigating chronic illness. Latoya talks about how celebrating small wins can shift our mindset and help us appreciate just how far we’ve come.

She also introduces her She Rises Incubator, a program designed to support women with chronic illnesses in building sustainable businesses that honor their health first. Through her SPARK framework, Latoya helps clients create a foundation for wellness before diving into branding and growth.

Plus, she shares an exciting new community event she’s organizing in partnership with Pureway, aimed at raising awareness about safe sharps disposal while empowering local communities.

Latoya’s story is a beautiful reminder that bravery in business isn’t always about giant leaps—it’s about the small, intentional steps that help us rise again and again.

In this episode, I share the story behind my most successful launch to date — one that surprisingly didn’t make a single dollar. Instead of focusing on revenue, my goal was to build a genuine community around connection and conversation.

I talk about why I created Brave Coffee Connections, how it came from my own need for deeper relationships in business, and what I learned from my four previous “failed” community-building attempts. You’ll hear the behind-the-scenes of how I structured the event, the lessons I learned from past launches, and why I now see this experience as a turning point in my business journey.

If you’ve ever felt discouraged after a launch that didn’t bring the results you hoped for, this episode will show you a new way to measure success — one that’s built on impact, connection, and courage.

In this episode, I sit down with Lovely Dutta, the Founder of Social Delight, a full-service social media agency for founders, coaches, and entrepreneurs worldwide. Lovely shares her inspiring journey from freelancer to agency owner and reveals how building a powerful personal brand online transformed her life and business.

We dive into the importance of visibility, especially on platforms like LinkedIn, and how confidence grows through consistent action. Lovely shares practical advice for anyone wanting to strengthen their social presence — from creating authentic content to connecting with the right audience and standing out with confidence.

If you’ve ever wondered how to turn your online presence into a true personal brand that attracts opportunities and builds trust, this episode is a must-listen.

In this episode, I chat with Tash Leam, a personal development author, digital creator, and new mum who’s learning to balance it all with a whole lot of grace and self-awareness.

Tash has written two beautiful books, From Human Doing to Human Being and When Life Gives You Lessons, and she’s the perfect example of what it means to keep growing, even when life gets busy. We talk about what it really looks like to slow down, trust your own timing, and find a rhythm that feels good in both business and motherhood.

You’ll hear Tash’s honest reflections on juggling creative goals with caring for her baby, letting go of perfection, and remembering that success doesn’t have to mean constant hustle. She shares how walks, journaling, and simple acts of self-care help her stay grounded and inspired.

This conversation is a beautiful reminder that you don’t have to “do it all” to be fulfilled, you just have to keep showing up for yourself, one brave, intentional step at a time.

In this bonus episode, I chatted with Dr. Jodie Solberg, a Certified Master Hypnotherapist, Transpersonal Wellness Coach, and International Best-Selling Author, about how online coaches and entrepreneurs can actually accomplish more by doing less.

We talked about setting boundaries, avoiding burnout, and making self-care a real part of business. Jodie shared her own story of pushing too hard, hitting burnout, and then rebuilding her business in a way that feels calm, spacious, and sustainable.

She gave so many helpful tips for checking in with your energy, knowing when to step back, and creating offers that truly align with your strengths. I loved her reminder that adding more to your business doesn’t have to feel overwhelming if it’s built slowly and with intention.

If you’ve ever felt like you’re hustling nonstop just to keep up, this episode will encourage you to take a breath, trust yourself, and create more space in your business.

In this episode of the Business Bravery Podcast, I chat with Dr. Jodie Solberg—Certified Master Hypnotherapist, Transpersonal Wellness Coach, Transformational Speaker, International Best-Selling Author, and Doctor of Counseling. 

With over 25 years of experience, Jodie supports women in business who are overwhelmed, burned out, or feeling lost in the hustle. 

We talk about the toll of pushing through stress, why self-care is essential (not optional!), and how to tune into your body’s signals before burnout hits.

Jodie also shares the brave shifts she’s made in her business—from diving into pre and perinatal psychology to revamping her emotional empowerment course for women. 

Her passion for healing and breaking generational patterns shines through, offering practical insight for coaches at any stage.
