We want to be part of what’s going on during the holidays. We want to be present in our personal lives and the lives of our loved ones. Yet we often get so focused on what’s next and forget to take stock of what’s happening right now.

What are you making the facts about your business mean?
When you look back on what happened in your business over the last year, you create stories around the goals, aspirations, or milestones you hit or missed, but you might not understand how your perception of things can sometimes mislead you. By recognizing specific patterns, you can make balanced decisions, foster resilience, and drive business with clarity and confidence.
In this episode of She Thinks Big, you’ll learn about four common thinking patterns that can skew your perspective, preventing you from seeing the full picture and adjusting your lens to reality. I’ll also give examples to illustrate each that you might find all too familiar as a female business owner.
3:56 - How you might let biased thinking affect what you see
5:40 - How you might make mountains out of molehills and emotionally distort things
7:40 - How you might overgeneralize and take things personally
9:21 - How black-and-white thinking and stories you tell yourself can skew your view

Think back to when you were a child. You looked at the adults around you and expected them to provide for you. You watched or listened to stories of Princes Charming and knights in shining armor saving the day. Then, when you became an adult yourself, you were expected to “leave childish things” behind.
But are you still expecting other people to meet your needs (like you’re stuck in some movie waiting for a partner to “complete you”)? Are you looking to others to fix something for you instead of helping you solve your problems? If so, let me help you take on the reins of responsibility here.
In this episode of She Thinks Big, you’ll learn my four-step process for meeting your own needs. I’ll also explain the gift that comes with higher needs and why fulfilling them yourself is so much better for the people you’d otherwise rely on.
1:59 - Six things to listen for that’ll be explored in this episode
5:55 - Why your higher needs are a gift
8:29 - Why you shouldn’t expect other people to meet your needs (and the benefit it bestows to others)
13:47 - Step one: how to pay attention to and differentiate between your clean vs. dirty pain
17:29 - Step two: how to welcome the knowing of the pain you’re experiencing
21:50 - Step three: how to hold space for the solution to meet your needs to come to you
27:29 - Step four: how offering your complete self to the world can inspire you moving forward

You have 60,000 thoughts a day, but how many of them are intentional?
When you’re on autopilot, your brain dismisses options before you even have a chance to explore them and only accepts the ones that seem realistic, familiar, and safe. But there’s a better way to make better choices; you have to pause and engage your higher brain.
In this episode of She Thinks Big, you’ll learn how to access all of your options and make better choices through intentional thinking. I’ll teach you the process of searching for ideas so that you can see what it takes to go beyond the easy answers and find out what’s really possible for you.

10:14 - The value of brainstorming to generate ideas and options

You’ve got a ton on your plate right now, in both your business and personal life. It’s the fourth quarter; business might be picking up, you’re thinking about how you want to end this year and start the new one, and holiday festivities are just around the corner.
Perhaps at the beginning of this year, you even made a promise to yourself to get better at delegating. Yet, you’ve persisted in resisting, and that’s holding you back from growing and scaling. So why are you struggling so much with delegation?
In this episode of She Thinks Big, you’ll learn three reasons why you resist delegating in your business and what you can do about it. I’ll also provide some examples of how these play out specifically for women entrepreneurs.
4:37 - How fear of losing control stops you from delegating
7:00 - How perfectionism stops you from delegation
9:35 - How time investment stops you from delegating

What is it really like to go on a business retreat?
You might experience the things that tend to immediately come to mind when thinking of the word “retreat.” Perhaps you have an image of cucumber slices over your eyes while getting a facial, or enjoying a massage at a spa, or tanning by the pool, or meditating on a beach somewhere.
But retreats with a specific focus offer something extra, something that can truly level up your life (and, in this case, your business). So what actually happens at retreats like the one for Runway to Freedom mastermind members?
In this episode of She Thinks Big, you’ll learn the four rewards you can receive by being part of a retreat like the one I offer. You’ll hear directly from some of the women about how they’ve benefited and what the experience is like, in their own words.
4:11 - Setting the beautiful scene and why retreats help you come up with your best ideas
7:13 - How our retreat was the right combination of work and play for the attendees

If you’re not celebrating your business success, why? What’s stopping you?
There are several reasons why you might tend to avoid acknowledging your wins. But refusing to celebrate them can have a detrimental impact on you and your business.
My fellow masterminder and coach Jennine Heller certainly sees celebrating as a necessity, not an indulgence.

When it comes to your business finances, you might find it uncomfortable (maybe even a bit mystifying) to talk about. But if you really want to think big and level up as a CEO, your business strategy needs (and deserves) a financial plan to match.
Some people love analyzing the financials behind a business and how they affect strategy (and vice versa) and want to help other entrepreneurs get a firm handle on it, too. My new friend Michele Williams is one of them!
Michele is the dynamic owner of Scarlet Thread Consulting and Metrique Solutions, two companies that focus on empowering creative professionals. She’s a financial expert who loves to talk about and teach all things money, strategy, and finance. And she’s crazy about financial success!

Michele will discuss how she can help you develop a clear financial plan that supports your strategic goals so that you make better decisions, avoid costly mistakes, and achieve your long-term objectives.

5:09 - What entrepreneurs struggle with most when it comes to the financial backbone of their strategy

21:56 - The purpose of Michele’s CFO program, how it’s designed to serve smaller business owners, and how it’s different from bookkeeping and accounting

In corporate America, it’s often all about the numbers, the metrics, the quotas, the profit. But in your purpose-driven business, it has to be about something more. It has to be about people.
Mary Elaine Baker understands this, as it’s one of the four priority pieces in her business. She is the co-founder and integrator of VAUSA, a virtual assistance company unlike any other. With no entrepreneurial background beforehand, she’s taken her business and grown and scaled it in a way that really resonates with her clients. To find out how she’s done it, let’s dive into her corner of the virtual assistance world!
In this episode of She Thinks Big, you’ll learn about the importance of building a strong company culture, the challenges and rewards of scaling a business, and the valuable lessons she learned along the way.

Connect with Mary Elaine BakerIn 2018, Mary Elaine co-founded VAUSA with her husband after experiencing the benefits of time freedom when Mary Elaine became a virtual assistant. As a military couple, they appreciated the flexibility that remote work provided, allowing Mary Elaine to balance her work and family life while easily adapting to the frequent changes of military life. Her experience working with entrepreneurs and connections with military spouses highlighted the need for a platform that could connect clients and virtual assistants, build trust, and facilitate effective collaboration. Thus, VAUSA was created to offer the gift of time freedom to both its clients and team.

School is in session! With colleges and universities gearing up for the 2024-2025 academic year, it’s prime time to get the perspective of someone who’s recently walked those halls and is days away from taking that next step into the “real” world.
After many times (and many years) conversing over the kitchen table, this is the first time I’ve actually interviewed my son, Brett Liebross! Brett is a recent college graduate who is about to start his career in investment banking with Harris Williams in Boston, MA. And he has many valuable insights to share about his journey from college to securing his job.
In this episode of the She Thinks Big podcast, you’ll hear about his view on the impact of networking as a freshman, how career aspirations can affect your personal happiness, and his advice for kids entering college. Brett will also reveal the key strategies, challenges, and personal motivations that shaped his path and could help you if you’re looking to transition in your work.
4:19 - How connections were key to Brett securing his internships and job (even over academic achievements)
11:00 - Three things that motivate Brett in regards to his career choice
13:00 - How Brett keeps going on days when he feels tired or burned out and what gets him excited
15:55 - The two sides to traveling down the road of success
17:30 - What all college-bound kids (and their parents) need to know before they get to college
21:00 - How Brett defines big thinking (with an example of a how friend bet on himself)

Is it really worth going to networking events? This question comes up a lot and while many find them uncomfortable or think they’re not worthwhile, they can yield significant business opportunities that you don’t want to miss.
To get the best out of networking, though, you need to approach it strategically. Depending on your goal, not all networking events are equally beneficial. So knowing how to prepare, which ones to go to, and what to do during and after the event puts you in position to craft meaningful connections and form successful relationships.
In this episode of the She Thinks Big podcast, you’ll learn strategies that’ll help you master networking events, find clients and referrals, and show off your expertise. I’ll teach you what you need to discover prior to an event, how to offer value and build rapport, ways to establish a communication channel and use it to nurture any connections made post-event, and more!
3:41 - Three things to research before you attend a networking event
8:31 - How to establish rapport, be an effective listener, and open channels for post-event communication
10:56 - How to follow up the day after the event and build and nurture relationships
