After some intentional down time this summer, it's time for an update on what my 3-month podcast sabbatical looked like and what's next in the world of BEYOND. There is so much power in taking a pause â sometimes they're planned out well in advance, and sometimes they're the curveballs that change up the plan. In this episode, I'm reconnecting to share the unexpected parts of my year, what that's looked like for myself, my family and my business. While a lot of uncertainty remains and I continue to pray for clarity and discernment, I'm sharing with you what I DO know for sure in this season of rest, reflection and reset. Some of the highlights inside BEYOND Ep. 314: ⢠How building a SIMPLIFIED business makes it (relatively) smooth to hit pause when life happens ⢠Overcoming the lie that a break, pause or sabbatical means a lack of productivity (or that it will prevent growth down the road) ⢠The beauty of letting yourself be where you are, and honoring your capacity in this season ⢠What's ahead for BEYOND, what I have clarity on (and what I don't!) ⢠How seasons of waiting are not to be rushed (as uncomfortable as it is) If you're in a season where you need support as a mom called to business, private 1:1 coaching with me is like having a business therapist, marketing strategist, messaging mastermind and mom mentor, all-in-one. To apply, visit beckyhoschek.com/apply and answer a few questions about your business, your goals and the season you're in. If I feel confident I can help you move toward where you want to be going, I'll invite you to join me on a Next Step call where we'll get all of your questions answered so that you can decide if working together is your next right thing.

In John Lennonâs famous song Beautiful Boy, he sings the words, âLife is what happens to you While you're busy making other plans.â
I feel similarly when I look back and think about the trajectory of my business journey â there have been so many plot twists that happened while I was making other plans.
When your reality looks different than you thought it would, it can be really hard! It can feel extremely uncomfortable. And the thoughts and feelings we have about what life and business look like compared to what we THINK it should look like can make it really tough to TRUST THE PROCESS. And so, I thought Iâd share with you some of the major plot twists that have happened through the course of my years as a creative entrepreneur and coach, and why Iâm so glad they did.
On this episode, youâll learn:
Why I quit a promising new job without a backup plan How my business has looked different in different seasons of motherhood Two (expensive) lessons in integrity from business investments that were not what I expected The unplanned shift that had me thinking, âI didnât see that comingâ The current plot twist currently unfolding through this podcast and why Iâm so excited to share it with you My I believe itâs so important to have goals and dreams, but to also be willing to hold them looselyWhen life feels complicated, when business feels complicated, and you don't know where to begin when it comes to UNcomplicating it, itâs time to SIMPLIFY.

The truth: we all believe lies. They impact every area of our lives: from our relationship with ourselves to our marriage relationships and friendships, parenting, business, faith, dreams and goals. The problem is that these lies are hard to see for ourselves. This is true especially if we've been believing them for a long time. And if we can't see them, we have little hope of getting rid of them.
In this episode I'm sharing Two Truths and a Lie - a tool I've created to help you uncover the lies you're believing so that you can live BEYOND them.
You'll learn:
⢠How lies are the root of so much unnecessary pain and suffering
⢠Why we believe things that aren't true
⢠The questions to ask to uncover a lie
⢠How to replace a lie with truth, for good

Proverbs 4:23 NCV says "Be careful what you think because your thoughts run your life." At an intellectual level, we understand the importance of our thinking and the power of our mindset, but at a personal, soul level, we're not so sure. In the middle of the everyday, how does this work? How do your thoughts run your life? And what can you do about it? In this episode we're breaking down two key pieces of truth anchored inside this passage. We were created with the agency, the free will to shape our thinking, and it may be the greatest gift we have. Understanding this gift and our God-given ability to steward our thought life is key to changing our lives, to feeling better and living more fully.
Today's episode is an encore presentation of one of Beyond Happy's most downloaded episodes. It originally aired in early 2021.
In this episode, you'll learn:
⢠The relationship between what you think, how you feel and what you do
⢠Why your thoughts are so powerful
⢠The essential piece we often leave out when trying to make change in our lives
⢠Why the freedom to co-create your life may be your greatest gift
⢠What it looks like to steward your thoughts

Do you ever get to the end of a busy day or week and feel like you got nothing done? How is that even possible? For moms building businesses and careers while raising families, the struggle is real. We constantly feel behind, even when it seems like we're always on the go. The reality for many of us is that we are really busy without being very productive. We tend to think that these terms are synonymous, but they are not. Being busy does not equal being productive. On this episode we're talking about the differences between being busy and being productive and five reasons you may feel busy but not be productive.

Do you ever fear that you're missing out on your own life? Maybe you imagine that near the end of your days, you'll look back and realize you were focused on all the wrong things. Maybe you worry that your priorities are off, you're too busy or rushed and are just going through the motions. For you, maybe it's a fear that pursuing a career or growing a business means you'll miss out on your kids' childhoods. Missing out on what matters most is a real fear - one that many working moms share with me. They just want to do the right thing. They want to live full, purpose-driven and productive lives that they are also present for. But sometimes, that feels really hard to achieve. In this episode of Beyond Happy, I'm sharing a powerful tool that uses your imagination to tap into the powerful perspective of another person - 75-year-old YOU. With 5 prompts to guide you through the exercise, you'll access this older, more experienced version of you to better understand where you are in your life right now with greater wisdom, compassion and grace.

Micro changes, macro results.
That's how I think about habits. They don't have to be huge, overwhelming and time-consuming in order to be life-changing. Often, the little things, done consistently, are the big things. This is because they build on each other â they compound.
Today weâre talking about life-changing habits. These are powerful rituals that either I have in place in my own life as a mom and entrepreneur, ones that have been really helpful and effective for my clients, or a combination of both. I named this episode 5 Habits that can fix 80% of your problems because Iâve found that these 5 have a compound effect â meaning, the benefit they bring to your days and to your life is so much greater than the time and energy they take to implement.
On this episode, you'll learn about these powerful habits:
⢠Create non-negotiable morning anchors
⢠Get enough rest
⢠Plan out your day ahead of time
⢠Do the thing you want to do LEAST today, FIRST

Do you find yourself apologizing constantly? Saying you're sorry for something you've done and want to take responsibility for is one thing, but often, we are apologizing for things that don't actually require apologies. The problem? Over-apologizing can undermine your authority and competence, and it is a reflection of the relationship you have with yourself.
In this episode, we're talking about why, especially as women, we tend to apologize when it's not necessary. We're talking about these specific situations where an apology just isn't helpful or useful:
⢠Being human
⢠Having boundaries
⢠Saying no
⢠Being vulnerable and sharing your heart
⢠Being tired
⢠Asking questions
⢠Asking for what you need

Can life as a working mom be fun? When we feel stuck going through the motions each day, navigating motherhood, marriage, work, business and more, life can feel many things - but fun might not be the first word that comes to mind. Today, we're talking about giving yourself permission to have fun as a working mom - on purpose. We're diving into why we don't think it "should" be fun, why doing all the things AND having fun is possible, why it influences how you're showing up in your life and I'm sharing my personal go-to thought when I want to get unstuck and change how I'm showing up in life.

PEACE. How much our souls deeply crave it as we find ourselves in this busy, crazy world. As a mom called to build a business, it can feel like your attention is being pulled in twenty-seven different directions at any given moment. It can feel like your life is dictated by the needs, expectations and distractions from the outside world.
Many of us wait around for life seasons and circumstances to change â hoping that THEN, weâll finally be able to experience the peace weâre longing for. But hereâs the truth: even if it feels contrary to the reality most of us find ourselves in, your peace is your responsibility. Itâs a choice. Itâs something you have the ability to steward: just as you do your time, your money and your health.
Hear this: peace has to be pursued and it has to be protected.
In this episode, Iâm breaking down five ways that you can project your peace. Being a good steward of your mental, emotional and spiritual health as it concerns your peace, matters. It impacts how you show up in everyday life as well as the harder, more challenging seasons of life.
Understanding how to protect your peace allows you to live beyond your circumstances and experience a more purposeful and intentional life as a mom, wife, business owner, entrepreneur and human being. Hereâs to a life of more peace and presence, less stress and overwhelm.
On this episode of BEYOND, youâll learn:
Why we consistently trade our peace for things that arenât worth it
How avoiding the uncomfortable parts of life lead us to miss out on peace as well
What the desire for control creates in our days
My favorite piece of Scripture that speaks to the power of our thoughts
The importance of consumption: who and what you allow to fill your time, energy and attention
Self-talk and how criticism and judgment destroy our peace
How to speak to yourself as a friend to experience more peace everyday
Business can be as simple as focusing on just two things: your peace and your profit.

You can have the most creative and strategic marketing plan EVER â but if fear of failure or rejection, or even fear of success, paralyzes you from showing up to implement even step 1 of that plan â the marketing plan isnât worth a penny. You have to believe in yourself and the value you bring to your clients in order to show up, to be visible and to bring that compelling, valuable message to your dream clients.
You can buy all of the courses and programs, you can collect dozens and dozens of them, but if shiny object syndrome has you hopping from one uncompleted course module to the next, if the belief that you just have to get certified in THIS or invest in this thing over here because THIS IS GOING TO BE THE THING that changes everything for you, youâll spend all of your time with your head down collecting courses and consuming content instead of listening to your people, paying attention to how you can help them and creating valuable solutions to their problems.
You can spend all of the dollars on a high-end web designer and a killer copywriter, but you donât have a clear understanding of precisely who your people are and what makes you uniquely qualified to help them, AND feel confident in that? No website design or conversion copy can bridge that gap.
You can toil for hours⌠days.. Months even, shopping for the perfect font or the ideal color palette for your brand â but hear this â if you find yourself stuck in one of those rabbit holes, it is âworkâ that is pointless but pretending to be useful. Itâs easy to get stuck in that place of behind the scenes busy work⌠I just need to finish this, and redesign this, and rethink my strategy about this⌠Iâve been there, believe me, I GET IT, but this is not productive, and this is not helping you get the clients youâre called to serve. This is simply a list of distractions created by a brain that is scared and uncomfortable to go out there and SERVE people because there is a lack of BELIEF when it comes to your ability to follow through, to serve people well, or both.
On this episode of BEYOND, youâll learn:
The ONE thing you can never outsource as a creative or coach
How most entrepreneurs spend way too much time on the (many) things they think theyâre âsupposed toâ be doing â instead of what will ACTUALLY lead to paying clients.
Why it feels like youâre âdoing all the thingsâ but nothing is working.
The most overlooked (and critical) piece of being a business owner that you need to begin prioritizing today.
The 3 pieces required to leverage the power of your mindset and belief into more peace, more joy and more profit.
When life feels complicated, when business feels complicated, and you feel stuck when it comes to UNcomplicating it, itâs probably time to SIMPLIFY. High-profitability paired with high quality of life is the mission of my business, and itâs the focus of my partnership with clients inside SIMPLIFIED.

Are you feeling stuck? Do you find yourself in a place where you just feel held in place by something⌠unable to move forward, struggling to get beyond it? For you, maybe that thing keeping you stuck is an obvious circumstance. An illness or diagnosis, the end of a relationship, loss of finances or lack of business growth⌠maybe for you, itâs finding yourself in a season of life you never imagined, and feeling completely helpless as to HOW to get beyond it. Itâs a privilege to get to see behind the scenes of a lot of lives and businesses, itâs an honor that I take seriously, and these insights have led to observing a number of patterns. I know that right now, some of you are going through the toughest season in your life: maybe itâs your marriage, parenting, health, or business. And others of you might find yourself stuck in this somewhat foggy, spinning on the hamster wheel, groundhog day kind of a place⌠maybe you canât yet fully articulate the what or the why that has you feeling so stuck, but deep down, you feel it. You know itâs there, tugging on you.
Being in that place of feeling stuck can be all-consuming. Itâs the first place our mind goes to when we wake up and the last thing we think of while lying in bed at night. Whether you feel stuck making a decision, navigating a relationship, initiating a conversation you know youâre avoiding, stuck in making the next move toward growing your business, advocating for your health or wellness or even stuck in your faith and feel that repeated prayers seem to be answered with silence, this episode is for you. Because Iâve found that whatever STUCK looks or feels like, there is one thing we can do: SERVE. More specifically, serve PEOPLE. Key Takeaways
⢠Why a serving mindset is critical for entrepreneurs called to business as creatives and coaches ⢠How to tell if you're unintentionally building a business focused on self rather than service ⢠Selling vs. serving: how everything about your business changes based on this

How can you effectively GROW your business as a creative or coach without stepping away from the 1:1 work you love? On this episode, Sarah Masci shares her journey of restructuring her business from traditional, project-based freelance design work to a day rate model. Sarah started as a web designer in 2005 and eventually realized that she loved the design process so much, she wanted to do more of it. In 2018, she started offering day rates to clients and found it to be a life-changing shift. She later taught this model to other service providers and scaled her business by creating a course. But this shift didn't come without some pain points. Sarah candidly highlights the challenges of scaling, such as building a team and managing a complex program. Sarah explains that scaling doesn't always mean moving away from one-on-one work, and that it's possible to grow a business by sticking with services you love. Our conversation explores the benefits and challenges of the day rate model for creatives and coaches. Sarah shares her experience and insights on how day rates can simplify business, allow for more focus on the work you truly love, and increase profitability. She also discusses the scalability of day rates and the importance of building trust with clients. Sarah highlights the need for experimentation and learning from the process, as well as the value of being part of a supportive community. She also mentions her excitement about getting back into design work through upcoming offers for her clients. Key Takeaways
⢠Restructuring your business and shifting to a different model can be a life-changing decision.
⢠Day rates can provide simplicity and productivity, allowing you to focus on one client at a time.
⢠Scaling a business comes with challenges, such as building a team and managing a complex program.
⢠It's possible to grow a business by sticking with one-on-one work if that's what you love.
⢠Scaling doesn't always mean creating a course or building an agency. The day rate model allows creatives and coaches to focus on the work they love and simplify their business.
⢠Building trust with clients is crucial for selling day rates.
⢠Experimentation and learning from the process are key to refining and optimizing day rates.
⢠Being part of a supportive community can provide motivation and inspiration.

It's an interesting paradox: many entrepreneurs find that their "best" year in business is also the year they saw the least profit. This episode explores the difference between growth and profit and helps small business owners like you determine where your focus should be. We distinguish between revenue growth and profit, and explore how rapid growth can come at the cost of profitability. We highlight the importance of knowing your owner's intent and aligning your focus with your business "end goal". We explore why the possibility of profitability is so high for online, service-based businesses and the importance of sustainable growth. On this episode of BEYOND, you'll learn: ⢠How building a six-figure business is not the same as profiting (or paying yourself) six figures
⢠The differences between a growth-focused business and a profit-focused business
⢠How identifying your owner's intent helps determine whether your focus should be on growth, profit, or both
⢠Why high-profit margins are realistic for creative entrepreneurs and coaches
⢠Why slow and steady wins the race: sustainable growth is often more desirable than rapid growth Takeaways:
"My best year in business was also the year I saw the least profit."
"A growth-focused business and a profit-focused business are not the same thing."
"The aim of your business is to create wealth now, accessible wealth that you can do things with now, not later." Timestamps: 00:00 Introduction: The Paradox of Business Success

How do you optimize your work hours?
How do you work less, but get more done? How do you create an intentional plan for your time, but also make room for flexibility as a mom? How can you make decisions that allow your work to remain (mostly!) a joy and not a drain? We're answering these questions and more on this episode of BEYOND. Designing your ideal work schedule starts with imagining how you want to spend your time outside of work. My schedule and weekly workflow is always open for negotiation, but over the last handful of years Iâve really found what works well for me and our family, and I wanted to share it in more detail than I have before because I know how that can be really helpful. What works for my business model and schedule may not translate exactly for you, but when you hear WHY Iâve chosen to set my weeks up this way, it may give you some things to consider or try when planning out your own schedule. So Iâm going to take you through my week, day by day, and share how Iâve designed those days and again, WHY it works well for me. On this episode of BEYOND, you'll learn: ⢠My philosophy about weekend work ⢠Why I call Mondays my "get it done" days ⢠How I frontload my week for simplicity and ease ⢠Why I've chosen to have just two days each week that I work with clients ⢠How I "bookend" my weeks to protect my energy, give my weekends plenty of margin and leave room for "catch up" time ⢠How I build in both intention AND flexibility into my schedule ⢠How I prevent "client days" from looking like draining, back-to-back-to-back Zoom calls ⢠What it looks like to accomplish full-time productivity on a part-time schedule ⢠Why I LOVE taking Fridays off, and how you can do it, too Designing an intentional schedule that maximizes your time, energy and capacity and supports your family's values is one piece of creating a SIMPLIFIED business.
