  Want to spend more time with Courtney? ROI of Peace Mastermind + App Access: https://roiofpeace.com/roimastermind Get your Human Design chart + Interferer Assessment: https://roiofpeace.com/starthere Want to spend connect with Tracy: Tracy's Website: https://www.tracybeavers.com/ Tracy on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tracybeaverscoaching/ Tracy on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tracybeavers/ You are exhausted. You are in the messy middle. And every voice in your head is telling you to quit. Here is what nobody is telling you. The answer is not more resilience. It is not gritting your teeth and pushing harder. It is not finding another level of grit you have not accessed yet. The answer is something completely different. And that is what this episode is about. Tracy Beavers is a business and sales coach with over twenty years of experience helping entrepreneurs grow their businesses through organic marketing strategies. She is the founder of Tracy Beavers Coaching, a published author, a public speaker, and the creator of the podcast Create Online Business Success. She has been featured by CBS television, the Wall Street Journal, and Kajabi. She has helped hundreds of entrepreneurs get from where they are to where they actually want to be — without burning out in the process. In this conversation Tracy and Courtney dig into the thing nobody talks about in the messy middle. The micro steps that feel like nothing but are actually everything. The resilience reframe that changes how you move through the hard seasons. And why the goal is not to feel better about where you are — it is to keep moving forward even when it feels awful. This episode got a brand new intro and a fresh edit because the message is too important to stay buried. If you are in the middle of something hard right now this one is for you. In this episode: Why the answer to exhaustion is not more resilience and what it actually is How micro steps in the messy middle add up to everything Why the big goals are impossible without going through the messy middle first What resilience actually looks like when you strip away what you think it means How to keep going when quitting feels like the only logical option What Tracy knows after twenty years of helping entrepreneurs survive their hardest seasons The messy middle is not the problem. It is the point. Your peace is the most profitable thing you will ever invest in.

  Always feeling behind? It's not a schedule problem

  Want to spend more time with Courtney? ROI of Peace Mastermind + App Access: https://roiofpeace.com/roimastermind Get your Human Design chart + Interferer Assessment: https://roiofpeace.com/starthere You have tried the planners. You have tried the morning routines. You have tried blocking your calendar and batching your tasks and getting up earlier. And you are still behind. Here is what nobody is telling you. It is not a scheduling problem. It is a technique problem. And the technique has nothing to do with your calendar. I started swimming laps again this year and I became completely obsessed. I did triathlons back in the day and getting back in the water has been the best thing for me. Of course I immediately went down a YouTube rabbit hole and now my entire feed is swimming videos. Every single one of them says the same thing. You do not get faster by pulling harder. You get faster by getting more efficient. The woman with good technique glides right past the one thrashing away in the next lane. Using half the energy. Going twice as fast. And I could not stop thinking about how many of us are the one thrashing. Last week in our mastermind one of our members asked a question that stopped the whole room. She had done the work on her money mindset. She had shifted her relationship with financial scarcity. But time felt completely different. Time IS finite. So how do you apply abundance thinking to something that actually runs out? Every single hand went up. This episode is my answer. And I want to give you something you can actually do this week — a five minute tool called the Yes Audit that is going to change how you spend the next seven days. In this episode: Why abundance thinking does not apply to time the same way it applies to money — and what actually works instead The real reason you feel behind even when you fit everything in What swimming laps taught me about balance — and why it is a technique problem not a scheduling problem The Yes Audit — a five minute exercise that will show you exactly where your time is really going Why you are not bad at boundaries — you are just fast at yes What priority guilt actually is and how to stop letting it run your day You are not thrashing because you are not strong enough. You are thrashing because nobody taught you the technique.

  Growing your business but losing you? How to stay true to your vision and worth

  Aug 25, 202656 min

  Want to spend more time with Courtney? ROI of Peace Mastermind + App Access: https://roiofpeace.com/roimastermind Get your Human Design chart + Interferer Assessment: https://roiofpeace.com/starthere Aravinda's Website: https://venturouscounsel.com/ Aravinda on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/aravindas/ Email aravinda@venturouscounsel.com You started this business because of something you believed in. And somewhere in the middle of building it you started to lose yourself in it. The hiring decisions that felt off. The clients you took because you needed the revenue. The vision that started to blur the bigger things got. The version of you that knew exactly why you started this — getting quieter and quieter. This episode is for the female founder who is building something real and feeling herself disappear inside of it. Aravinda Seshadri is a Stanford Law graduate who built an impressive career in business law and then made one of the bravest decisions a high achieving woman can make. She walked away from the version of success that looked right on paper and built something that actually felt right on the inside. Today she runs Venturous Counsel, a firm that serves founders and early stage startups with diversity and equity at its core — not as an afterthought but as the entire point. Aravinda figured out something most founders learn too late. You cannot build your vision without asking for what you actually need. And you cannot ask for what you need if you do not believe you are worthy of it. In this conversation Aravinda and Courtney get into what it actually looks like to stay anchored to your mission as you grow. How to hire people who protect your vision instead of diluting it. How to keep asking for what you need even when the people pleaser in you wants to shrink. And how to build a business that stays true to you — not just your strategy. In this episode: What it actually feels like to build a career that looks successful but feels completely empty How Aravinda walked away from corporate law and built something rooted in purpose Why keeping your mission alive as you grow requires asking for what you actually need How to hire people who protect your vision instead of pulling you away from it Why worthiness is the foundation of every business decision you make What it looks like to build a firm where everybody wins — clients, community, and you. Your peace is the most profitable thing you will ever invest in.

  Everything falling apart? How to survive it without losing everything you built.

  Aug 17, 202650 min

  Want to spend more time with Courtney? ROI of Peace Mastermind + App Access: https://roiofpeace.com/roimastermind Get your Human Design chart + Interferer Assessment: https://roiofpeace.com/starthere Connect witj Kelly: Kelly's Website: https://revenuecadence.com/ Kelly on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kelly-ann-peck/ Kelly's Email: kelly@revenuecadence.com What do you do when everything falls apart at once? Not one hard thing. All of it. At the same time. This episode is for the female founder who is in the middle of a season so heavy she can barely show up. Who loves what she does but cannot do it right now. Who is holding her business together with one hand while her personal life is falling apart with the other. Kelly Ann Peck has been selling since she was a little girl selling Girl Scout cookies. Selling is not just what she does — it is who she is. She built Revenue Cadence into a powerhouse, helping hospitality and service based business owners stabilize revenue and scale with confidence. She has contributed to over thirty million dollars in revenue growth and helped clients generate over sixty million through better pricing, sales, and marketing strategy. And then multiple family losses hit in a concentrated period of time. The grief was so intense it shut her completely down. The one thing she had always been able to do, sell, she could not do anymore. Her health suffered. She gained fifty pounds. She felt completely alone. She eventually sold her business to her partner because she could not keep going. Kelly did not just survive it. She came back. And what she shares in this episode about how she got through is going to give every woman listening permission to stop pretending she is fine. In this episode: What it actually feels like when grief shuts down your ability to function professionally Why the things you are best at are often the first to go when life gets heavy What nobody tells you about trying to hold a business together through personal loss How the body shows up when grief is not being processed What it means to sell your business and lose your identity at the same time How Kelly found her way back and what she knows now that she wishes she had known then Grief shut her down completely. Here is how she came back.
