How many times have you caught yourself saying, “That’s expensive,” or “I’ll feel safe when I make more money”? Those little thoughts are the reason so many entrepreneurs stay stuck at their current income level. Today’s guest, Jillian Minter, is living proof that you don’t have to be a broke entrepreneur—and that changing how you think about money can completely change how you make it.
In this episode, I’m joined by Jillian Minter, a Seattle-based business and money coach who went from owning a struggling Pilates studio in Las Vegas to selling it for full price, running a multi–seven-figure business in Seattle, and now helping women scale their online income through mindset and manifestation.
We talk about breaking free from the “broke entrepreneur” identity, how to use small daily mindset shifts to create big results, and why taking one small future-you action—like joining a wine club—can change your business more than any new strategy ever could.
In this episode:
The wild Vegas to Seattle story of how Jillian and I met
From employee to boss to employee to boss again — and why that’s not “backwards”
What keeps most entrepreneurs broke (and how to spot it in your language)
Why mindset matters more than the “perfect” business strategy
How Jillian sold her Pilates studio for full asking price through mindset work
My wine-club story — and how acting like your future self changes everything
Simple daily practices to stay grounded in your revenue goals
Going all-in on business and the freedom that comes from trusting yourself

What if something as simple as a balloon could change your life?
This week I sit down with Mia Hamza from Balloon Thrill, a former teacher from Kosovo who turned her creative spark into a thriving six-figure event décor and education business—all in just a few years after moving to the U.S.
Mia shares how she went from teaching English and hosting a TV show overseas to starting from zero in a new country—no money, no car, and no clear direction—and building a business that now empowers others around the world.
In this episode:
How to start a business with little to no capital (and why small ideas can grow into big ones)
Why mindset is the real difference between “just balloons” and a six-figure brand
The value of mentorship and online learning when scaling a creative business
How Mia transitioned from in-person décor to online education with hundreds of global students
Why balloon décor is one of the most flexible, family-friendly, and profitable creative businesses today
Action Steps:
Take the first step — If you’ve been thinking about something for too long, do it within 24 hours.
Go all in — Once you commit, give it your full energy instead of starting small out of fear.
Learn from others — Find mentors or peers already succeeding in your field and model what works.

When you feel restless in your career, do you listen—or do you push through?
Rachel Kerr listened. Even when she didn’t have a clear plan. That inner restlessness led her to create The Beauty Boost, a women's empowerment and wellness community that now operates in over 30 cities across the U.S.
In this episode Rachel shares how she went from burned-out employee to full-time entrepreneur, how she built community before she had an audience, and how she scaled her business slowly, intentionally, and without losing her values. If you’ve ever felt unsure of your next step, this conversation will remind you that clarity often comes after the leap, not before it.

The mindset and mentorship that made it possible
Why community and connection are the realROI
The power of investing in yourself

She’s the founder of Metro Designs, Metro Events, the creator behind digital shops on Etsy and Zazzle, and the heart behind Journals to Healing—a CBT-based journal collection for personal growth.
In this episode, Brandilyn shares her journey from working in early internet billing tech (yes—before Amazon!) to launching a portfolio of purpose-driven creative businesses. We talk about how she stays organized, overcomes setbacks, and leads with intention in both branding and life.
You’ll learn:
Why she calls herself “professionally unemployed”—and how gig work changed her life
How she uses the psychology of design to create emotional brand connection
The difference between ethical and fear-based marketing (and why it matters)

What do you do when the corporate ladder leaves you feeling unfulfilled—but you’re still craving structure, stability, and impact? For Carol, that answer was stepping away from a high-level advertising career, starting a jewelry brand born out of personal grief, and ultimately buying a successful subscription box business that now fuels thousands of women every month.
In this episode, Carol shares her winding path to owning Sparkle Hustle Grow, a subscription box and membership community for female entrepreneurs. We talk about the real story behind buying a business (spoiler: it’s not as glamorous as Instagram makes it seem), the role personal development plays in business success, and how masterminding and community support can help you grow faster than any online course.
