Ep 212_Handle Your Biz: How to Create Your Own Opportunities in Today's Environment

Have you ever caught yourself thinking, “I’m ready for more… if only someone would notice me”? Been there. Done that. And guess what? Waiting around rarely gets the job done.

This week, we’re flipping the script on passivity and getting proactive about your future. Whether you’re building a business, considering a pivot, or just plain tired of languishing in the background while someone else gets the recognition — this episode is your wake-up call to rise, shine, and handle your biz.

Here’s the truth: opportunities don’t always knock — sometimes you have to build the damn door yourself. In this empowering episode, I’m walking you through how to do just that. We’ll explore:
🔹 Mindset matters – because if you don’t believe in yourself, why should anyone else?🔹 Skills building – how to stay sharp, stretch your capabilities, and avoid the silent killer of growth: comfort.🔹 Negotiation – the real reason you didn’t ask for that raise and how to change that next time.🔹 Leadership visibility – why “shrinking violet” energy won’t get you the life or career you deserve.🔹 And most importantly: how to create the opportunity that’s been missing from your life.

✨ Here’s a little behind-the-scenes truth from me: I used to wait. I was raised not to “toot my own horn.” I hoped someone would notice my hard work and hand me the spotlight. Spoiler alert: that didn’t happen. So one day I decided to stop waiting, start pitching, and claim the recognition, role, and results I wanted. This episode is about helping you do the same.

👩🏽‍💼 Whether you're:

  • A midlife woman rebuilding after a career shift

  • A business owner wondering what’s next

  • Or someone who's got a brilliant idea brewing but hasn’t acted yet…

This episode will help you:
✅ Clarify your voice and value✅ Build a plan around solving real-world problems✅ Ask for what you deserve — confidently and strategically✅ Take control of your next chapter — no permission required

💡 You’ll also get practical tips like:

  • How to shift into a growth mindset when self-doubt creeps in

  • Why “done is better than perfect” could be your new mantra

  • How to tap into “YouTube University” for fast, free skill upgrades

  • The Gen Z trick that helps you speak up for more pay, promotion, or position

  • How to turn almost-right opportunities into your perfect fit

Midlife isn’t a slowdown — it’s your power phase. But no one’s handing you the map. If you want a life and business that align with your deepest values and boldest goals, you’ve got to make some moves. And that starts today.

🎯 Listen now to learn how to:

  • Break free from the “waiting to be picked” cycle

  • Step into self-leadership and visibility

  • Navigate your own opportunities — even in uncertain times

Because let’s be honest — “someday” isn’t a strategy.
