As good as our parents may have been, no one gets out of childhood without experiencing a few painful or traumatic events. These moments, big or small, can leave lasting impressions that shape how we see ourselves, others, and the world around us. And more often than we realize, those unhealed wounds can quietly follow us into adulthood... and even into our businesses.

In today’s episode, I’m diving into how unresolved pain and childhood trauma can subtly (or not so subtly) show up in our professional lives, affecting everything from decision-making and leadership to confidence and communication. You might be surprised by how much of your internal story is influencing your external success.

This is the first installment in a powerful three-part series. So I invite you to listen with an open heart, reflect deeply, and really absorb the wisdom and freedom that’s being offered here. There is healing available, and it starts with awareness.

Perfection Isn't Precious

Life is pretty wild over here at the Allwood house! Between kids getting married, going off to volunteer for three weeks in Peru, and juggling multiple businesses all during the heat of summer, there's never a dull moment.

Today, Jason and I finally got the chance to sit down, catch our breath, and reflect on everything that's happening in this season of life. We talked about where we are emotionally, mentally, and spiritually, and how each of us is navigating through these big transitions and exciting (yet sometimes overwhelming) moments.

Our hope is that this episode gives you a real, honest glimpse into our lives. We also pray that it brings you a sense of comfort and encouragement, especially if you’re walking through your own season of change or uncertainty.

Passion is powerful, but it doesn't always lead to profit. In today’s episode, we’re diving into a topic that many entrepreneurs and creatives struggle with—why simply following your passion might not be the best strategy for building a sustainable business.

Yes, passion can be the spark that ignites your journey. It can fuel your hustle during the early stages, keeping you motivated and energized. But here's the reality: passion alone won’t always pay the bills or put food on the table for you and your family. Relying solely on what you love to do—without a plan, market validation, or a monetization strategy—can leave you burnt out and broke.

Today, I’m introducing a fresh perspective on how to pursue your passion with purpose that will have you rethinking the 'follow your passion' advice—and replace it with something that works in the real world. You won’t want to miss this one.

There’s a vast difference between those who dream and those who do. Plain and simple—it's the doers, the ones who take action, who actually make things happen.

Well, in today’s video, I’m here to light a fire under you and get you out of dreaming and into doing. Let’s get the ball rolling and out of your head!

"It needs to be finished, not perfect."

Today, I’m talking about perfectionism. Some people believe that making their business or offer perfect is an admirable quality—but I’ve got news for you: it’s not.

Perfectionism has haunted many of the women I’ve seen start their own businesses. Over time, I’ve come to recognize it as a coping mechanism—a way to avoid the fear of making what you're working on real.

Tune into today’s episode as I break down the walls of perfection and build up the foundations of forward momentum.
