Episode Title: Love at Altitude

Description:
Samantha thought she was done mixing love and business. Jesse wasn’t sure he could risk trusting again. But when a chance match leads to both a coffee date and a business idea, the two must decide if they’re willing to leap into partnership - in work and in life. Can they learn to rebuild after failure, or will old wounds keep them from soaring higher?

In this heartfelt story, you’ll discover that the right partner makes all the difference, whether in business or love. You’ll also hear the reminder that working from your heart and following what sets you on fire is always worth the risk.

✨ Business Lesson: Sometimes the bravest thing you can do is take another chance - on the work you love, and on the people who want to build it with you.

🎧 Episode Title: Not Just Mom
👩‍🦳 Main Character: Courtney

✨ Story Summary:
Courtney is a homeschooling mom of six who loves her family deeply, but she also wants more. When she realizes her teenager is making the kind of money she wishes she could, she sets out to start a mobile dog grooming business. The only catch? Keeping the house running while chasing her dream. Through fictional storytelling, we follow her journey of fighting mom guilt, finding systems that work, and discovering that it’s okay to build something just for her.

💼 Business Lessons:

• A business is only as sustainable as the systems behind it.

• Delegate and organize to create space for your dreams.

• You don’t have to choose between motherhood and entrepreneurship—you can be both.

• Feeling guilty doesn’t mean you’re doing it wrong. It means you’re growing.

From Broke Mom to Digital Creator
✨ A fictional story to help you take real steps in business

Cindy is a tired, hardworking mom working grocery shifts while her kids dream of soccer and she dreams of more. One night, she hears a podcast about leveraged income and it won’t leave her alone. With no clear roadmap, she decides to just try something… and learns more with every messy, imperfect step.

This story follows her journey from pantry organizing to Pinterest marketing to launching her first course and how each "failed" business was really a stepping stone to discovering her power.

🎧 Whether you're stuck in survival mode or afraid to start, Cindy’s story reminds us:

• You don’t need a perfect plan. Just a next step.

• It’s okay to pivot and figure it out as you go

• Leverage isn't just about money—it's about creating a life that works for your family
