Your childhood messaging is affecting your success!

Your childhood messaging could have a profound impact on your career, finances, and overall success, whether you realize it or not. It’s not just about trauma; it’s about relationships, messages, and the environment you grew up in. Children absorb these influences like sponges, and they shape your beliefs and actions as an adult, affecting self-esteem, risk-taking, and more.

I’ve invited Paul Gilmartin, the host of a top mental health podcast (The Mental Health Happy Hour) and a former TV personality and comedian, to discuss how our childhood experiences have influenced our lives. Prepare to be amazed in this journey to “shooketh land.”

Childhood trauma can erode self-esteem, making it difficult to believe in one’s abilities. This lack of confidence can hinder career growth, preventing individuals from pursuing opportunities or promotions.

Trust issues stemming from childhood trauma can make it hard to form healthy professional relationships. Networking, collaboration, and teamwork may suffer, impacting career prospects that often depend on strong interpersonal connections.

Trauma can lead to emotional dysregulation, causing difficulties in handling stress and pressure at work. This can affect decision-making, problem-solving, and overall performance, hindering success in a competitive work environment.

Childhood trauma may contribute to mental health issues like anxiety or depression, making it challenging to maintain a healthy work-life balance. Constant emotional turmoil can affect productivity and focus at work, impacting overall career success and job stability.

Ep 780 $10K Months in 2026: 3 Decisions to Make it Happen

If you’ve been trying to make consistent $10K months online but your income still feels inconsistent, unpredictable, or harder than it should be… this episode will change how you approach your online business.

Because there has never been a better time to make money online.
With billions of people consuming content daily and most buyers discovering services through social media, content marketing, and online platforms, the opportunity to attract clients, grow an audience, and generate consistent monthly income is already built in.

So if you’re not hitting consistent $5K, $10K, or multi-5-figure months yet, it’s not because you need more information, more courses, or a more complicated business strategy.

It comes down to a few key decisions most entrepreneurs avoid—and the lack of consistent execution behind them.

In this episode, I’m breaking down the 3 decisions that separate inconsistent income from predictable $10K months, and how to apply them to your content, offers, and sales process so you can start making money online more consistently.

Ep 778 The Emotional Side of Launching No One Talks About (The Truth about Selling Your Offers!)

Launching an online program can look exciting from the outside. The announcements, the social media posts, the excitement of welcoming new clients into your world. But behind the scenes, there is an emotional side of entrepreneurship that almost no one talks about.

In this episode, I’m sharing what it actually feels like to launch and sell your offers online while you are in the middle of doing it. Because the truth is that building an online business and promoting your work can bring up far more than just marketing strategy. It can bring up vulnerability, pressure, self-doubt, and the quiet mental stories entrepreneurs create when they are putting something meaningful out into the world.

If you are launching a course, coaching program, membership, or digital product, you have likely felt some version of this. The emotional rollercoaster that happens while you are selling your offer online. The moment where you wonder if you explained it clearly enough. The moment where you check the numbers and your brain starts creating stories about what it means.
