Women, Power, and Money
There has never been a time in U.S. history where women have been more economically powerful.
Despite this economic power, women still face financial discrimination that makes it harder for them to get paid what they are worth, access credit and business capital, and afford daily expenses.
While the reasons for the gender inequities are complex, a major contributor is the mixed messages our society sends to women when it comes to money.
These messages include:
- As a woman, you need to know about money, but not be profit motivate
- You need to teach your children to be financially literate but avoid financial conflict in your life.
- You need to make money, but not more than your partner or spouse.
Join Wealth Psychology Expert Kathleen Burns Kingsbury and me for a conversation about Women, Power, and Money.

The pandemic has pushed the collective workplace ‘reset’ button.

Boundaries: Your “Yes’s” and “No’s Are What Boundaries Are Made Of
Your life is being shaped by what you’re saying “YES” to and what you’re saying “NO” to.
Your “Yes’s” and “No’s are what boundaries are made of.
And with each, you’re ‘setting in’ the invisible line that shapes your choices, opportunities, relationships, and, especially, your life.
Here’s the thing we rarely take note of– when we lack boundaries, we often feel resentment, frustration, anger, and it drains our energy and vitality.
Boundaries help you be more productive and efficient so that you can not only focus on your priorities….you’ll have time to focus on improving your mental, physical, AND spiritual health.
Could you use some support establishing (and communicating) your boundaries? Join me this conversation.

Fulfillment Framework: Create a Saner Approach to Success
As a 28-year entrepreneur, I’ve certainly learned a thing or two over the years…and for some reason, it was often the hard way!
I HOPED that if I just worked harder and pushed more, I could eventually get to the other side, create balance and finally relax a bit. Even, spend more time with my family.
Hope is not a good strategy.
Ponder this for a moment: What would be possible in your life and business if your actions consistently lined up with your priorities?
- Would you create more fulfillment AND opportunities?
- Build your bottom line AND your relationships?
- Be more present AND create more impact?
- Get a solid night’s sleep?
It’s time to develop a less is more mindset so you can stop overcommitting yourself and under committing to your goals, priorities, and most important relationships.
Join me as I share some of the insights and tools I bring to my clients to help them develop a strategic and holistic approach to their success while developing the tools to build the business that will sustain the life you want to live, not consume it.

Lauran Star
Inclusion + Equity = Diversity / Stop the Diversity Blame Game
With the rapidly changing workforce, creating a sustainable organizational inclusive culture today is imperative for organizational success.
An inclusive workplace culture creates an organization of ‘us’ and attracts, retains, and improves overall job performance. However, many organizations are unsure where to start and may not have the expertise to drive such change.

We all have differences in the workplace, be it employees or clients, and we are all aware how diversity (gender, generation, ethnicity, etc.) can drive business. However, to attract, retain and develop our clients and employees we must reach further to create Inclusion.
Lauran is a leading speaker and trainer on inclusion. Her focus is on generational, gender and ethnicity differences that drive your organization and clients to thrive. Lauran works closely within leadership and human resource management focusing on organizations most important business asset – their employee’s.
Julie Goodall
Sharing the Hats, Instead of Wearing all The Hats
Running a business is not for the faint of heart. Most business owners are so busy working in their business, they are too busy to work on their business. They’re wearing all the hats.

Join QuickBooks Coach and Virtual CFO, Julie Goodall and myself for a conversation about how to make the back-office noise go away,

Learn to Do No Harm—to your people, processes, OR profits
Learn how to run a trauma-free business that helps your people, your processes, and your profits.
Whether you know it or not, trauma impacts your business and relationships every day.
You might have unchecked trauma running in your business if:
- You find yourself deferring to others to avoid conflict—despite this being YOUR business—so you struggle to grow in ways that feel in integrity.
- Things take longer to get done because you don’t trust your employees; you micro-manage or take tasks back because you’re a perfectionist, and so scaling your business and serving more people feels impossible.
- You have consistently poor boundaries with staff, your calendar, your customers, and your money, which makes it feel like the business is running you instead of you running it.
When you become trauma-informed, you will see benefits in your own business—through better relationships with your team, smoother processes, and higher profits—as well as benefits for the clients you serve.

John Schraven
Negotiation: We Negotiate Things, Not Our Value as a Person
Negotiation is not combat: Negotiation is a conversation about a thing.
Emotions and the feeling that negotiation is a personal attack derails our ability to actively listen, pause, and respond. If you are human, you are affected by bias and emotions. We all are.
And another secret…none of us are “rational.” So, unless you are Spock from the planet Vulcan, emotions can divert your attention and prevent you from making good decisions in negotiation.
There are plenty of people who negotiate as part of their jobs who appear competent because they get through it but are chained to a tit for tat style of negotiation.
Surviving negotiations does not competency make. Many of those hate conflict and found a way to survive it, so why learn more? Why fix it if it ain’t broke? Those who negotiate well will tell you that the learning never stops.
Ronda Berns

Janis Cooper
The Ripple Effect: How to Enhance Relationships Without Causing Tidal Waves
How we behave and communicate, and what motivates us can impact relationships with others positively or negatively, whether 1:1 or as part of a team.
