In this episode of Your Loving Kick in the Pants, I talked about the power of pausing to reflect on our “why.” My husband and I have been re-evaluating our goals, finances, and time, even considering big moves like selling our house, all to realign with our bigger purpose.
The main takeaway? Delegate with intention. I shared a funny eighth-grade story about a leadership shirt mishap that taught me why doing everything alone doesn’t work. Whether in business or parenting, real leadership means trusting others, letting go, and knowing that rest and support are essential.
Key Topics Covered:
Reflecting on why we work so hard and build our businesses
Debating the idea of being debt-free versus using smart debt
Revisiting big life choices and how they’ve shaped us
The idea of core memories and what we learn from them
A personal story about being mislabeled as “secretary” in 8th grade and what it taught about delegation
Delegating in business: knowing when and why to get help
Letting go of control at home, especially with kids and chores
The belief that “no one can do it as good as me” and how it holds us back
How our identity often gets tied to our work and hustle
Learning that rest and trust are just as powerful as doing everything yourself
