Moving can be a nightmare!
You have to put your house on the market, find a new house to move into (or, in my case, wait for yours to finish being built), and juggle with where you’ll stay in the interim if necessary. In the meantime, you’re packing and unpacking, hemming and hawing over what to keep and what to throw out or donate, and so on. Oh, and you’re still trying to run the rest of your life and business, too!
But you don’t have to take it all on by yourself. You can even hire experts like Maria Baer to help you with unpacking, decluttering, and organizing everything! She owns the Indianapolis-based home organizing company The Baer Minimalist and really helped make the transition of moving into our new house easier. She also knows the value of having help--the personal support she provides for clients domestically she had to get for herself in her business.
In this episode of Time to Level Up, you’ll learn about the benefits of having an organized home and its effect on other areas of your life. You’ll also hear about the perks of giving up control and decision-making power when necessary and how hiring out support helps Maria with work-life integration as a mom of two five-year-old boys.
1:41 - Maria’s introduction and how she helped make the move into my new house easier
5:38 - How Maria works with clients, the pros and cons of unpacking and organizing items, and why giving up control doesn’t have to be hard
10:33 - Why Maria loves organizing, how things function in her house, and the benefits of having an organized home
18:15 - Two things that prevent people from organizing their homes on their own
22:05 - How Maria’s journey working for other people’s businesses eventually led to the start of her own business
27:33 - How having support helps Maria balance working on her business and in her business (especially with two preschool boys)
34:39 - Maria’s speed round answers and the link between her donation guide and how she wants to be remembered

She Thinks Big Live: How a Big Event Comes Together
She Thinks Big®
02/27/24 • 26 min
What does it take to pull off a big event like a retreat?
There are a lot of moving parts when you want to hold something like She Thinks Big Live. But as a coach or consultant, you probably want to offer something more than just a grand experience. You want your guests to walk away with something tangible they can use to level up their business or life beyond the event.
Those who attended She Thinks Big Live last month walked away with a plan on how to create an extraordinary 2024. Planning the retreat required embodying big thinking in how to create and execute it successfully. As a result, I lived through the very principles I was sharing in creating the event itself.
In this episode of Time to Level Up, you’ll get a behind-the-scenes look at what happened in the days before, during, and after. I’ll walk you through the kind of deliberate planning that goes into an event like this and how the execution of my plan aligned with four key areas covered at the retreat.
1:50 - Day-by-day structure and why this event required putting my big thinking hat on
4:48 - The belief necessary to pull this retreat together and how my belief plan fulfilled two objectives
6:56 - How hiring an event planner allows you to integrate business with life and show up as a host
10:52 - The action plan (and people) it took to create this mastermind event and make it a success
16:21 - Planning the use of time and some of the feedback received after the retreat
20:38 - The response that shows exactly why I did She Thinks Big Live

How can you find and attract new clients for your business?
For the past few weeks on this podcast, you’ve heard about creating a vision, systems, and processes in your business. You’ve heard about facing the truth of your numbers and the people you choose to work with behind the scenes.
Now, in this final episode of the “Business Audit to Business Awesome” series, podcast coach Bethany Wrede Peterson bridges it all to the backend of your business and talks about using the power of podcasting to attract new clients.
And if you’re thinking that it’ll take too much time and money to launch your own show or that it’s a complicated process, set your mind at ease. You can get started quickly and inexpensively, and we’ll tell you how.
Today on Time to Level Up, you’ll learn about why podcasting is a better avenue to gaining new clients (especially for high ticket offers) than other marketing mechanisms like social media. Bethany will also reveal why you shouldn’t worry about giving away too much and tell you what you need to start your own podcast.
1:54 - Who Bethany is and how she got into podcast coaching
7:06 - Why a podcast is essential to building your brand and growing your business
13:04 - The essential element you must include in your podcast

Do you know where you are right now? Without knowing that, you can’t get to where you want to go without knowing your current location. Whether you feel stuck, crave more, or are just ready for a shift for whatever reason, taking inventory of where you are now and accurately pinpointing it is the first real step toward change.
In this episode of She Thinks Big, you’ll discover three key places you might be starting from. I’ll also reveal the most common signs that show you’re now owning or fully aware of where you are right now and how to get clarity on your location so you can move forward.
7:00 - How you might want to move away from pain
11:25 - How you might be feeling a pull to something new

Better Parenting & Better Business: Parallels Between the Lives of Young and Older Adults
She Thinks Big®
01/30/24 • 47 min
Do you see a big difference in yourself, your life, and your circumstances now than you did 20 or 30 years ago?
You might think that college-aged kids can’t yet contemplate worries and challenges on the same level as a 40+ year-old. But you might be surprised...
For the first time on the show, I’m interviewing one of my kids, along with two of her friends. And while nothing they said surprised me, I was intrigued to see the similarities between their struggles and those of older adults like my clients... and myself.
In this episode of Time to Level Up, you’ll learn how their lives and some of their challenges as 19-year-olds are similar to older adults. You’ll also hear how their experiences as college students and their perspective on being a better parent are similar to running a successful business.
2:40 - What’s a typical Tuesday like for RL, MG, and KM
7:46 - What can we older adults learn from how they spend their weekends?
12:34 - What happens after 10:30 on a weekend night?
16:22 - What advice do they have for parents about prepping their kids for college and life away from home?
21:36 - What are their challenges? (MG has an interesting one involving her parents)
26:39 - The relationship between parent and child and their thoughts about forming romantic relationships right now
32:11 - What do they find most worrying and stressful about life immediately after college?
39:41 - A little game and what MG, RL, and KM want to be remembered for many years from now

Are you investing in yourself the way you need to based on where you’re at right now?
You might be stuck in investing in industry or problem-specific coaching, which isn’t a bad idea. But the thought of exploring the option of life and business coaching together may not have even crossed your radar.
That’s where Emelie Russell found herself when I hired her in April 2022 to be my videographer for a live event I was doing. She’d invested in specific coaching for her profession but had never thought broader than that, until I asked her about it.
You might see a bit of yourself in Emelie. Within a few years, she took her wedding videographer hobby and turned it into a thriving six-figure business while growing her family of three kids. And today, she’s here to share how coaching has helped her shift her mindset and approach to her life and business.
In this episode of Time to Level Up, you’ll see how coaching can help you redefine what work-life balance and asking for help looks like for you as a parent and entrepreneur. I’ll also teach you about the success triangle I use with a lot of clients and the three beliefs that, when added together, really show what you think you’re worth.
6:04 - How Emelie got into wedding videography and started it as a business while growing her family
10:44 - How Emelie’s relationship with her growing business shifted and impacted her as a mom
14:00 - The three components of the success triangle and the obstacle that got in Emelie’s way
18:49 - How things have changed in Emelie’s life with the mindset shift she gained from coaching
21:00 - How internal drama over a trip to Sweden showcased Emelie’s feelings about her worth
26:02 - How investing in herself helps Emelie’s clients and family (and can do the same for you)
28:31 - What Emilie’s gained from coaching and what she’d say to you if you’re considering it
30:20 - The question Emelie repeats to herself over and over that can help keep you on track
