04/28/25 • 21 min
You didn’t start your business just to make money. You started it because you care. Because you know you’re meant to build something that matters.
But when it comes to actually weaving impact into your business — without losing your profit, your momentum, or yourself — it can feel overwhelming fast.
Where do you even start?
How do you do it the right way — in a way that's authentic, sustainable, and aligned with who you are?
That’s exactly what we’re diving into today!
In this episode, I’m walking you through my Built to ImpactTM Map — a simple, powerful framework to help you align profit and purpose side by side, without having to start a nonprofit or wait until you “make it.”
You’ll learn:
- The four clear pathways to add real impact to the business you already have
- How to make a difference without burning yourself out (or giving away everything for free)
- Why today — not someday — is the perfect time to start
- And how to create a legacy you can be proud of, starting exactly where you are
If you’ve ever felt stuck between wanting to change the world and not knowing how to begin — this episode is for you.

020: What No One Tells You About Burnout and Business Growth with Masha Kay
You’ve heard it before: just push through. Hustle harder. Do more.
But what if the real reason you're stuck, exhausted, or spinning your wheels in business... has nothing to do with strategy or mindset—and everything to do with your nervous system?
In this episode, I’m joined by the brilliant Masha Kay, a Nervous System and Breathwork Coach who helps high-performing women grow sustainable, profitable businesses without burning out.
We’re diving deep into the science and soul of success—from what chronic stress is really doing to your body, to how to build a business that supports your health instead of draining it.
Whether you’re scaling your business or just trying to stay out of survival mode, this conversation will change the way you think about growth, burnout, and what it actually means to succeed.
In This Episode, We Talk About...
- Why burnout isn’t just a mindset problem (and how your nervous system plays a bigger role than you think)
- The hidden signs of nervous system dysregulation in entrepreneurs
- How to stop overworking and start building from a regulated, resourced place
- The difference between surviving and scaling—and how to move into ease without losing ambition
- Breathwork, trauma-informed tools, and simple practices to support long-term success

022: Stu McLaren Spills the Secrets on Recurring Revenue
You care about making a difference—and building a business that actually lasts.
If you've ever wondered how to create predictable, recurring revenue without losing the heart behind why you started, you’re going to love this conversation.
Today, I’m joined by Stu McLaren, membership expert and co-founder of Membership.io, to pull back the curtain on what it really takes to build a sustainable, purpose-driven business using the power of memberships.
With over 16 years of experience helping entrepreneurs scale their income and impact, Stu shares the behind-the-scenes strategies that turn loyal audiences into thriving communities—without burning out or selling out.
If you're thinking about launching a membership, growing one, or just curious how to add more stability to your income, this episode is packed with actionable takeaways you can start using right away.
WHAT YOU'LL LEARN IN THIS EPISODE:
✅ Why memberships are one of the smartest (and most sustainable) ways to grow a mission-driven business
✅ The mindset shift entrepreneurs need to make if they want recurring revenue without losing momentum or impact
✅ How to create a membership that actually serves your people—and keeps them coming back month after month
✅ Real-world lessons from Stu’s own journey building successful memberships (and what he'd do differently if he started again)
3 KEY TAKEAWAYS:
1️⃣ Predictable Profit Is Built, Not Hoped For
Memberships aren't just about monthly income—they're about building trust and community over time. If you focus on delivering real value consistently, revenue becomes a byproduct of impact.
2️⃣ Small Audiences Can Create Big Results
You don't need 100,000 followers to launch a profitable membership. Stu explains why depth over width wins every time when it comes to building a loyal, paying community.
3️⃣ Memberships Must Evolve with Your Members
What your audience needs today may not be what they need six months from now. Staying curious, flexible, and focused on member success is the key to sustainable growth.
