In this week’s Biz Besties episode, Nicole and Kaila are getting ahead of 2027 and sharing five things they’re putting in place now to make it their best year yet. After years of trial and error, they’ve learned that your best year doesn’t happen by accident. It comes from intentionally creating the habits, support, collaborations, boundaries, systems and space that allow you to make more money without living in the pressure cooker. What You’ll Take Away From This Episode: How your habits and routines can completely change the way your business and life feel.Why collaborations and your network can collapse timelines and open doors you couldn't create on your own.How to ask for and receive the support you need, in your business and your personal life.Why sometimes the next step is deciding who or what has to go.How AI can help you stay ahead of the curve, save time, and create a more scalable business. Nicole and Kaila also share why they’re planning ahead instead of waiting for January 1st to make changes. Your best year isn't something you stumble into, you get to create the conditions for it now! And if you're ready to map out your most profitable year yet, Nicole and Kaila are hosting Best Year Yet, a three-day live workshop designed to help you plan your 2027 business, money and profit goals.

In this week’s TGIM episode, Nicole is talking about energy vampires: the people, habits, and inner stories that drain your energy right when you need it most, especially heading into Q4, one of the best selling seasons of the year. She breaks down the different ways energy gets drained, from the well-meaning naysayer to the boundary-testing client to your own comparison scroll and inner critic. She also shares practical ways to protect your energy so you can sell and show up from a full cup. What You’ll Take Away From This Episode: Why your energy is your most important asset as a business owner, and why people pick up on it more than your words.The four types of energy vampires to watch for: the well-meaning naysayer, the boundary tester, the comparison scroll, and your own inner critic.Why energy vampires tend to show up right before you do something big and visible, like a launch, a price increase, or a big post, and how to prepare for it.How to run a simple energy audit after conversations to see who expands you and who depletes you.Simple ways to protect your energy, including showering with intention, setting an intention before every call, being crystal clear on your offer, and creating an end-of-day reset ritual.Why selling from overflow, not depletion or scarcity, makes people want to work with you.Why you don’t have to be for everybody, and how to let go of the people who aren’t your buyer. The biggest reminder from this episode is that you are responsible for your own energy. You get to decide who has access to it, how often, and how much. When you protect it and fill your own cup first, you can move through Q4 selling from a grounded, aligned place.

In this week’s episode, Nicole sits down with Lori Harder, host of the Earn Your Happy podcast, for a conversation about one of the most underused ways to grow your business: being a podcast guest. You don’t need your own show, a big following, or a big name. You need a story that walks the listener to your offer. Lori breaks down the formula she’s seen across more than 1,600 episodes of her own show. She explains why most guests are forgettable, why a few have made $25K to $100K from a single episode, and how to be one of the ones who converts. What You’ll Take Away From This Episode: Why being a podcast guest is one of the fastest ways to go from cold audience to paying client, even for high-ticket offers.What “trust transfer” is, and how a host’s introduction can do the relationship-building work that normally takes a listener hours.Why the best podcast guests reverse-engineer the conversation from their offer instead of just answering whatever they’re asked.The types of stories to bring on a show: an emotional story, a transformation story, and specific client results that overcome objections.How to craft your “million-dollar story” so you have a strong answer when the host says, “Tell me about yourself.”Why you can build, borrow, or buy an audience, and why borrowing through guesting costs you nothing but your time.How to take the pressure off, treat each podcast as practice, and gather real-time data on what resonates with listeners.How to stand out in a host’s crowded inbox, when most pitches are copy-pasted and self-focused. The biggest reminder from this episode is that you don’t need a massive platform to profit from podcasting. You need a clear offer, great stories, and the confidence to show up and practice. Go be seen, even if it’s imperfect.

In this week’s Biz Besties episode, Nicole and Kaila are talking about what happens when you raise your standards as a business owner, and realize you can’t go back. From money and pricing to clients, boundaries, delegation, leadership and the people you surround yourself with, they share the standards they've raised throughout their six-plus years building My Aligned Purpose. What You’ll Take Away From This Episode: Why raising your standards often means realizing you've outgrown what you used to tolerate.How to recognize where you're still accepting less money, less respect, or less alignment than you actually want.Why your business changes when you become more confident in your boundaries, pricing, delegation and leadership.How the people you surround yourself with can influence what you believe is normal and possible.Why being yourself, not trying to copy someone else's business, marketing or leadership style, is one of the most powerful ways to build confidence. Nicole and Kaila also talk about the importance of getting into rooms where your desired level of success is the standard vs. the exception. Once you experience what it feels like to operate at a higher standard, you get to make a choice: Are you going back to the old version of you, or are you committing to the new one? And if you're ready to map out your most profitable year yet, Nicole and Kaila are hosting Best Year Yet, a three-day live workshop designed to help you plan your 2027 business, money and profit goals.

In this week’s TGIM episode, Nicole is talking about one of the biggest energy drains in entrepreneurship: looking at what everyone else is doing and wondering if their grass is greener. Nicole shares a very real story from her own business when comparison led her and Kaila to invest in a business model that wasn't aligned with how they actually wanted to build. The result? They spent months trying to make someone else's strategy work instead of watering the thing that was already working for them. What You’ll Take Away From This Episode: Why comparison can quietly pull your time, energy, and attention away from your own business.How to stay aware of what's happening in your industry without abandoning your own vision and values.Why consistency and staying in your lane allow your results to compound over time.How to define your own business scoreboard instead of measuring yourself against someone else's numbers.Why self-trust is one of the most magnetic things you can bring to your business.Simple ways to protect your energy, curate your feed, and redirect your attention back to what actually moves your business forward. Nicole also shares the story of Oprah choosing to stay in her own lane when the daytime TV landscape changed, and why knowing what's happening around you doesn't mean you have to become someone else to succeed. The more you water your own grass (with your attention, creativity, consistency, energy and belief), the more you'll eventually look up and realize just how much you've grown.

In this week’s Biz Besties episode, Nicole and Kaila are talking about something they wish someone had told them sooner: motherhood doesn't have to shrink your business ambitions, it can actually expand your earning potential and your vision for what's possible. They share three things they've learned about building businesses while raising kids, from becoming even more motivated to create an abundant life for their families to learning that you simply can't do everything yourself. What You’ll Take Away From This Episode: Why having kids can actually make you more ambitious about the life and income you want to create.How becoming a parent can change your relationship with your earning potential and what's possible for your family.Why you can't do it all, and how childcare, support, boundaries, and delegation can help you build a business that works for your life.How to create dedicated work time and treat yourself like a real business owner.Why there's no single “right” way to combine motherhood and entrepreneurship—and how to build it around what works for you.Why wanting more money isn't selfish when that money gives you more choices, opportunities, support, and experiences with your family. The biggest reminder from this episode is that you don't have to choose between being a great mom and building a big business. You get to decide what your version of motherhood, business, money, support, and success looks like, and then build accordingly. If you want the big life, you don't have to wait for someone else to give you permission. You get to go create it!

Fresh off our two-day in-person Aligned CEO Method mastermind retreat, I'm sharing the biggest lesson from the room: every goal, challenge, and breakthrough in your business comes back to mindset. I walk you through both days, from small group visibility planning and "who not how" hot seat coaching under our theme Your Network Is Your Net Worth, to day two's bold reminder that you are a really big deal. You'll hear how scripting, guided visualization, and a long table dinner of future self proclamations helped forty women business owners shift their identity and see the next six months with fresh eyes. Whether you were with us or you're craving your own reset, this episode shows you why mindset is the foundation for growing to six and seven figures.

In this week’s Biz Besties episode, Nicole and Kaila are breaking down what it actually means to stop trading your time for money and still have a profitable business. They share the real strategies they've used with their own businesses and clients to buy back time, create leverage, increase profit, and move from one-to-one delivery into systems, group programs, higher pricing, new revenue streams, and leadership. What You’ll Take Away From This Episode: Why revenue, profit and cash flow are three very different things, and why knowing the difference matters.How to audit your time and identify the hidden pockets of work that are keeping you stuck trading time for money.How to turn repetitive one-to-one work into systems, processes, group programs, or signature methods.Why raising your prices can sometimes be the simplest way to increase profit without adding more hours.How adding a new revenue stream, renting space, training others, or creating a parallel offer can create more leverage.Why the people you surround yourself with (and what they believe is possible)can influence how you approach growth. Nicole and Kaila also get very real about the mindset shift required to stop believing that more money = more work. The goal shouldn't just be to build a bigger business, but to build a business that gives you more money AND more of your life back.

In this week’s TGIM episode, Nicole is getting into the energetic side of business, and sharing the experience that completely changed how she understands the connection between her body, energy, mindset, and business. Nicole takes you back to 2016, when an ayahuasca experience introduced her to the chakra system in a profound way. That experience eventually became the foundation for the philosophy behind My Aligned Purpose, including the name itself. She then breaks down the seven energy centers and how they can show up in your business, from money and creativity to confidence, receiving, visibility, intuition, and purpose. What You’ll Take Away From This Episode: How your root chakra connects to money, safety, scarcity, and trusting that you're resourced.Why your sacral chakra can show up in your creativity, pleasure, and whether your business still feels fun.How your solar plexus connects to confidence, authority, pricing, and trusting your own decisions.Why the heart and throat chakras can influence overgiving, boundaries, visibility, and speaking your truth.How your third eye and crown chakras connect to vision, intuition, purpose, and trusting something bigger than yourself.Nicole's simple practice for using your body before making your next big business decision: Does this feel expansive or contracting? You don't have to separate the “business you” from the rest of you. Your body is giving you information all the time. The question is: are you listening?

In this week’s Biz Besties episode, Nicole and Kaila are getting into manifestation, timing, big dreams, and what happens when you stop trying to control exactly how everything is going to happen. They share some of the biggest things they’re currently manifesting, from business growth and getting their book into the hands of 2,500 women, to dream homes, family, travel, money, and some seriously big personal goals. But this isn't just about making a vision board and hoping for the best. It's about saying what you want out loud, sharing it with the right people, taking aligned action, and trusting that the timeline may not look exactly how you imagined it. What You’ll Take Away From This Episode: Why things that feel like setbacks in the moment can become some of your biggest lessons later.How to stop obsessing over when something will happen and focus on what you actually want.Why sharing your dreams and manifestations with the right people can open up unexpected opportunities and connections.How to use the energy of “being, doing, having” to start embodying the version of you who already has what you're calling in.Why there's no point in waiting for the perfect moment to invest in yourself, your business, or your dreams.How Nicole and Kaila are currently manifesting their biggest business and life goals—and why they're willing to say them out loud. If you've been feeling like you're behind, waiting for something to happen, or unsure whether you're allowed to want something bigger, this is your permission slip to dream louder.

In this week’s TGIM episode, Nicole is getting very woo-woo and sharing six practices she uses to call in multiple five-figure months, dream clients, money and opportunities into My Aligned Purpose. This isn't about waving a magic wand or following a manifestation checklist. Nicole breaks down what it actually looks like to become the person who is available for the results you want, and then pair that energy with aligned action and real business strategy. What You’ll Take Away From This Episode: The six woo-woo practices Nicole uses to support money, clients and business growth.Why the way you start your day can influence how you show up in your business.How future-self journaling and mind movies can help you build belief around what you're calling in.Why checking in with your body before a launch, sales call or big moment can help you shift energy that isn't serving you.Why manifestation still requires aligned action, and why Nicole believes you have to release the how and the timeline.How to combine mindset and manifestation with the numbers, strategy, sales and structure your business actually needs. Nicole also gets real about what she means when she says she's “woo-woo," and why she doesn't believe being spiritual or energetic means ignoring your analytics, sales strategy or business data.

This week on My Aligned Purpose, Nicole sits down with Trish Calandra, co-founder of TruWealth Advisors, for a conversation about money mindset, money stories, and what true wealth actually means for entrepreneurs. Trish shares the scarcity mindset she grew up with, the book that flipped her into an abundance mindset, and the four pillars of true wealth she and her husband Phil teach founders every day, which are money, purpose, health, and relationships. It is a raw look at why so many six and seven figure business owners still feel financially stuck, and exactly what it takes to close that gap and build real financial freedom.

In this week’s Biz Besties episode, Nicole and Kaila are talking about something they see all the time: women who are incredibly good at what they do, but don't know how to turn that expertise into a profitable business. They share the story of how My Aligned Purpose started with two things they genuinely loved (money and personal development), and eventually became a business that supports their families while giving them the freedom to create on their own terms. But loving what you do is only part of the equation. You also need to understand how to market, sell, operate, and monetize your expertise so that the thing you're good at can actually become a sustainable business. What You’ll Take Away From This Episode: How to turn the thing you're really good at into a repeatable, profitable business model.Why you don't need to be the only coach, realtor, counselor, accountant, photographer, or expert in your space to succeed.How a scarcity mindset can keep you competing with people who could actually become your collaborators, referral partners, or friends.The difference between being amazing at your craft and knowing how to run the business around it.How marketing, sales, and operations work together to turn your expertise into consistent revenue.Why creating your own opportunities can be far more powerful than waiting for someone else to give you a seat at the table. The big reminder from this episode is that there is enough to go around. You don't have to do it exactly like someone else. You don't have to dominate your industry. And you don't have to become good at everything. You get to take what you love, what you are brilliant at, and build a business around it that actually supports the life you want.
