The Simplicity Sessions

Five days ago, I stepped onto a stage at the Pink Skirt Summit, an event founded by my girlfriend Renee Warren, and something cracked wide open in me. This episode is my attempt to share what happened, what I witnessed, and what I took away, not just from my own talk, but from the entire two days
 
In this episode, I'm sharing:
What I noticed the moment I walked into the event, and why the energy behind the scenes changes everything for the people in the room

Why asking the "safe" people is keeping you small (and what my girlfriend Renee modeled by going for the big asks anyway)

How to read the season your audience is in, and why that matters more than any strategy or slide deck

What happened the morning of my talk: the tears, the rewiring, the dress, the armpit sweat pads (yes, really)

Why your reputation enters the room before you do, and what that means for how you show up everywhere

The question my girlfriend Adele asked me that stopped me cold: "At what point are you going to see the version of yourself that we all see?"

What I shared on stage about not wanting more, and the woman who cried in the bathroom stall because I finally said the thing out loud

Why your value is no longer in what you know, it's in what you see

The permission to evolve: what I'm retiring in my business and what I'm stepping into next

Why I took the entire month of August off to write The Audacious Woman, and why I have zero regrets about it

 
Let's dive in!

This episode isn't really about money strategies (though we get into some of that too). It's about why really intelligent, capable people avoid opening their bank statements, undercharge for their work, blow their savings the moment they make good money, or freeze right before pulling the trigger on an investment they know makes sense.
We've been those people, and in this episode we're getting personal. 
In this episode we talk about:
Why two people can receive the exact same amount of money and have completely different experiences with it

How your nervous system is running the financial show

The GIC example that explains exactly how banks make money off your fear

Why making more money doesn't fix a leaky financial foundation

Our own money stories (including why I finally got my financial license, and what pushed me to do it)

The "doors conversation" we had in our kitchen last week 

Why we sold our Costa Rica house and got rid of our boat

Budgeting as money awareness, not restriction

The $25/month RESP investment that's going to make our kids millionaires

How to get your teenager to actually care about investing (hint: don't be the one to have the conversation)

In this episode, I get into what I really think is underneath all of this (and it's not ambition). For a lot of us, what we've been calling ambition is actually survival. From the time we were little girls, being good, capable, productive, and useful got rewarded. And eventually our nervous systems wired achievement to safety. If I perform, I'm safe. If I'm useful, I'm loved.
 
That's not a personality trait. That's a nervous system pattern. And it explains why slowing down can feel absolutely terrifying even when your body is begging for rest.
 
Reflection questions from this episode:
What do you actually want if no one was watching?

What are you still trying to prove, and to whom?

If you woke up tomorrow already believing you were enough, what would you stop chasing?

Write your own definition of success. Not your industry's, not Instagram's, not your parents'. Yours.

Audit your calendar. Does it reflect what you say you want?

In this episode, I'm doing a full reflection on the sixth annual Audacious Woman Retreat I hosted in Kelowna this past June.
 
This isn't just a recap. It's a conversation about something I believe with every fiber of my being: the room is the most powerful business tool you will ever step into, and sometimes, you have to be brave enough to build it yourself.
In this episode, I'm sharing:
Why I hosted five women in my rented home for five days, and what emerged that no agenda could have planned

The difference between information and knowledge 

Why the "right room" has nothing to do with celebrity coaches, luxury venues, or million-dollar masterminds

What I've learned after six years of hosting these retreats: the room doesn't actually exist until the humans arrive

The concept of "stacking evidence"

Why vulnerability creates speed in business (and why pretending you have it together is costing you years)

The lobster theory of women in business 

Why confidence is contagious, and what happens when one woman asks the hard question out loud

My reflection on leadership: I'm not better than the women in the room, I'm just a little further along

A permission slip for the woman who has been waiting to feel "ready enough" to gather her people
