As we celebrate Thanksgiving here in the States, I’m filled with gratitude. Gratitude has become my foundation for abundance, shaping both my life and my business. My dad’s advice to “count your blessings, and you’ll be amazed” has stuck with me over the years, and it’s a practice I carry into every morning.

This week is extra special because I’m celebrating another trip around the sun. While I prefer a quieter birthday—a long hike, solo reflection, or a peaceful meal—it’s my favorite time to revisit the vision for my life.

In today’s podcast episode, I’m stepping away from SEO and Google Business Profiles to share the biggest gift I give myself each year: an hour of vision-setting. It’s a simple yet powerful practice that allows me to reflect on the good, the hard, and what’s next.

I share:

• How I reflect on the past year
• What I include in my vision—from my family to my business and beyond
• Why this one practice has become my yearly reset

If you’re ready to create space for gratitude and clarity in your own life, grab a journal and join me for this special episode.

Now, let’s dive into today's podcast. I had a major epiphany this past weekend while reviewing my business growth over the last 16 years. I noticed a pattern: during periods of growth, there were a few key factors. But one thing consistently stood out—it wasn’t a marketing hack or strategy. It was being part of a mastermind.

Why am I so fired up about masterminds? Let me break it down:

1. Intentionality—We showed up to learn, grow, and implement.
2. Consistency—Same time, every other week, no excuses.
3. Authenticity—A safe space to share real struggles and get real support.
4. Accountability—We took action and then reported back on what worked.

If you're ready to level up and keep your momentum going, my mastermind might just be the secret sauce you need. Tune in to hear more about the success I've seen and what makes this mastermind different from the rest. Trust me, you don’t want to miss it!
