  • “When I took ownership of my time, it allowed me to free up space for other priorities in my life - that’s when things started to shift.” ~ April Nowlin

    Time is the most valuable resource we have and to spend it on tasks that you simply shouldn’t be doing is wasteful. This is where systems come in, they help you free up space and take ownership of your time. And that time freedom is something most entrepreneurs want more of.

From personal experience, April understands how tough and disorienting a chaotic life can be. As a 3-time divorcee, April has weathered the storms of transition and has successfully implemented time strategies to grow a thriving business even after divorce. In this episode we talk about those strategies and how owning our time has impacted our lives as business women that also wear many other hats.

    Here’s what you can expect from this episode:

    Understanding the meaning of owning your time Identifying why is it important for women to own our time Insight into why women often struggle with time boundaries Learning how leveraging automation can help reclaim your time

  • “Being scared means that this is what you should be doing, it's clearly what you want and that fear needs to drive you forward, instead of keeping you standing still.” - Alicia Peterkin

    In goodtherapy.org perfectionism is defined as the need to be or appear to be perfect, or even believe that it's possible to achieve perfection and we are going to get real today about how that has played out in both of our lives as entrepreneurs and women.

    In this episode of BOSS™ Talk, I am speaking with Alicia D. Peterkin, the Founder & CEO of New Methods Consulting, Inc., a full-service HR outsourcing firm. I am so excited to have Alicia here today speaking about perfectionism and how it shows up in her day-to-day life and the discussions we have had about it in our coaching sessions. During the show, Alicia candidly shares how a coaching session with me gave her permission to say yes to herself and stop waiting on the ‘perfect circumstance’ to shift and prioritize her own happiness.

    Alicia is now on a mission to stay in this self-sustaining place she found since shifting and she believes there are many others out there like her that are desperately searching for more - a BOSS™ Shift is that more!

    Here’s what you can expect from this episode:
