Ep 639: How to Manifest an Extra $10K in Your Business This November and Beyond

In this week’s TGIM episode, Nicole is challenging you to make November your $10K cash month or, if you're already making $10K+, to call in an extra $10K before the end of 2026. This isn't about working more hours or cramming more into your calendar. Nicole dives into the mindset, identity and energetic shifts that can help you become the person who can create, receive and hold more money. What You’ll Take Away From This Episode: How to get crystal clear on what an extra $10K would actually do for you. How to identify whether your income plateau is a strategy, mindset or identity problem. The beliefs and stories that can keep you from allowing yourself to make more money. Why who you're being is more powerful than what you're doing when it comes to creating more. How to shift from frantic “I need to make money” energy into the confidence, excitement and magnetism that makes selling feel natural. Why your next level may require you to become someone who is comfortable receiving, holding and having more money. Nicole also shares real examples of unexpected money arriving, her experience investing $5,000 in a one-day mastermind, and how she sold out a $1,000-per-person experience simply by being genuinely excited about what she was offering. Your next $10K isn't necessarily hiding in another funnel, another offer or another 20 hours of work. It may start with getting clear on what you want, changing the story you're telling yourself about money, and becoming the woman who knows she can receive more, hold more and create more. So grab your journal and listen with a pen nearby. Nicole is giving you the questions to ask yourself if you're ready to make November your most abundant month yet!

Ep 638: Here's How to Create More Cash Flow, Clients & Growth in 2027

In this week’s Biz Besties episode, Nicole and Kaila are looking back on an incredible 2026 and sharing why they believe your best year isn't something that happens by accident, it's something you intentionally create. From growing the podcast and launching their book to selling out She Leads, investing in coaching and mentorship, and watching their Aligned CEO clients create businesses, friendships, collaborations and new opportunities, they're celebrating what happened when they claimed 2026 as their best year yet. What You’ll Take Away From This Episode: Why setting the intention for your best year can change the way you show up and what you create. How to look back at your year and recognize the wins you might otherwise rush past. Why investing in the right coaching, mentorship, community and relationships can accelerate your business growth. How getting clear on your cash flow, offers and strategy can help you make more money in the year ahead. Why you don't have to build your business alone, and how the right community can lead to clients, collaborations, friendships and opportunities. Nicole and Kaila also give you a sneak peek into their Best Year Yet process for 2027: vision and energy, cash-flow clarity, and strategic planning. And they're inviting you to join them for three free live days where they'll help you expand your vision, identify where your next money is coming from, and map out your 2027 business strategy.

Ep 637: How I Manifested My Dream Home Before I Knew How It Would Happen

In this week’s TGIM episode, Nicole is sharing the story of one of her biggest manifestations yet: the dream home she knew was hers before she knew how she was going to make it happen. What started as casually looking at houses turned into a home that checked all of her biggest boxes. The catch? The house was listed above what she was approved for. Nicole takes you behind the scenes of what happened next, and why she believes the manifestation worked because she was willing to hold the vision without needing to know the how. What You’ll Take Away From This Episode: How Nicole used visualization, intuition and faith to stay connected to the reality she wanted before she had proof it was possible. Why manifestation isn't about sitting back and waiting - it requires action, belief and a willingness to move when opportunities appear. How to recognize the difference between your own inner knowing and the fear that tells you to stay with what's familiar. Why you can hold a big vision while still being deeply grateful for where you are right now. Nicole's reminder that nothing is an overnight success, the manifestations we see today are often the result of years of action, intention and belief. This is ultimately an episode about what becomes possible when you stop obsessing over the how, get clear on what you want, and learn to hold the faith even when the evidence isn't there yet. You don't have to see the path to believe you're on your way. Hold the vision, take the action, and let the how unfold. If you're ready to map out your most profitable year yet, Nicole and Kaila are hosting Best Year Yet, a three-day live workshop designed to help you plan your 2027 business, money and profit goals.

Ep 636: 5 Strategic Ways to Make 2027 Your Best Year Yet in Business and Life

In this week’s Biz Besties episode, Nicole and Kaila are getting ahead of 2027 and sharing five things they’re putting in place now to make it their best year yet. After years of trial and error, they’ve learned that your best year doesn’t happen by accident. It comes from intentionally creating the habits, support, collaborations, boundaries, systems and space that allow you to make more money without living in the pressure cooker. What You’ll Take Away From This Episode: How your habits and routines can completely change the way your business and life feel. Why collaborations and your network can collapse timelines and open doors you couldn't create on your own. How to ask for and receive the support you need, in your business and your personal life. Why sometimes the next step is deciding who or what has to go. How AI can help you stay ahead of the curve, save time, and create a more scalable business. Nicole and Kaila also share why they’re planning ahead instead of waiting for January 1st to make changes. Your best year isn't something you stumble into, you get to create the conditions for it now!

Ep 635: Protect Your Energy in Q4: Stop Letting Energy Vampires Drain Your Business

In this week’s TGIM episode, Nicole is talking about energy vampires: the people, habits, and inner stories that drain your energy right when you need it most, especially heading into Q4, one of the best selling seasons of the year. She breaks down the different ways energy gets drained, from the well-meaning naysayer to the boundary-testing client to your own comparison scroll and inner critic. She also shares practical ways to protect your energy so you can sell and show up from a full cup. What You’ll Take Away From This Episode: Why your energy is your most important asset as a business owner, and why people pick up on it more than your words. The four types of energy vampires to watch for: the well-meaning naysayer, the boundary tester, the comparison scroll, and your own inner critic. Why energy vampires tend to show up right before you do something big and visible, like a launch, a price increase, or a big post, and how to prepare for it. How to run a simple energy audit after conversations to see who expands you and who depletes you. Simple ways to protect your energy, including showering with intention, setting an intention before every call, being crystal clear on your offer, and creating an end-of-day reset ritual. Why selling from overflow, not depletion or scarcity, makes people want to work with you. Why you don’t have to be for everybody, and how to let go of the people who aren’t your buyer. The biggest reminder from this episode is that you are responsible for your own energy. You get to decide who has access to it, how often, and how much. When you protect it and fill your own cup first, you can move through Q4 selling from a grounded, aligned place.

Ep 634: Podcast Guesting 101: Lori Harder on How to Turn One Episode into Clients and Life-Changing Revenue

In this week’s episode, Nicole sits down with Lori Harder, host of the Earn Your Happy podcast, for a conversation about one of the most underused ways to grow your business: being a podcast guest. You don’t need your own show, a big following, or a big name. You need a story that walks the listener to your offer. Lori breaks down the formula she’s seen across more than 1,600 episodes of her own show. She explains why most guests are forgettable, why a few have made $25K to $100K from a single episode, and how to be one of the ones who converts. What You’ll Take Away From This Episode: Why being a podcast guest is one of the fastest ways to go from cold audience to paying client, even for high-ticket offers. What “trust transfer” is, and how a host’s introduction can do the relationship-building work that normally takes a listener hours. Why the best podcast guests reverse-engineer the conversation from their offer instead of just answering whatever they’re asked. The types of stories to bring on a show: an emotional story, a transformation story, and specific client results that overcome objections. How to craft your “million-dollar story” so you have a strong answer when the host says, “Tell me about yourself.” Why you can build, borrow, or buy an audience, and why borrowing through guesting costs you nothing but your time. How to take the pressure off, treat each podcast as practice, and gather real-time data on what resonates with listeners. How to stand out in a host’s crowded inbox, when most pitches are copy-pasted and self-focused. The biggest reminder from this episode is that you don’t need a massive platform to profit from podcasting. You need a clear offer, great stories, and the confidence to show up and practice. Go be seen, even if it’s imperfect.

Ep 633: Raise Your Standards and Become a More Confident Business Owner

In this week’s Biz Besties episode, Nicole and Kaila are talking about what happens when you raise your standards as a business owner, and realize you can’t go back. From money and pricing to clients, boundaries, delegation, leadership and the people you surround yourself with, they share the standards they've raised throughout their six-plus years building My Aligned Purpose. What You’ll Take Away From This Episode: Why raising your standards often means realizing you've outgrown what you used to tolerate. How to recognize where you're still accepting less money, less respect, or less alignment than you actually want. Why your business changes when you become more confident in your boundaries, pricing, delegation and leadership. How the people you surround yourself with can influence what you believe is normal and possible. Why being yourself, not trying to copy someone else's business, marketing or leadership style, is one of the most powerful ways to build confidence. Nicole and Kaila also talk about the importance of getting into rooms where your desired level of success is the standard vs. the exception. Once you experience what it feels like to operate at a higher standard, you get to make a choice: Are you going back to the old version of you, or are you committing to the new one? And if you're ready to map out your most profitable year yet, Nicole and Kaila are hosting Best Year Yet, a three-day live workshop designed to help you plan your 2027 business, money and profit goals.

Ep 632: How to Stop Comparing Your Business to Others and Trust Your Own Path

In this week’s TGIM episode, Nicole is talking about one of the biggest energy drains in entrepreneurship: looking at what everyone else is doing and wondering if their grass is greener. Nicole shares a very real story from her own business when comparison led her and Kaila to invest in a business model that wasn't aligned with how they actually wanted to build. The result? They spent months trying to make someone else's strategy work instead of watering the thing that was already working for them. What You’ll Take Away From This Episode: Why comparison can quietly pull your time, energy, and attention away from your own business. How to stay aware of what's happening in your industry without abandoning your own vision and values. Why consistency and staying in your lane allow your results to compound over time. How to define your own business scoreboard instead of measuring yourself against someone else's numbers. Why self-trust is one of the most magnetic things you can bring to your business. Simple ways to protect your energy, curate your feed, and redirect your attention back to what actually moves your business forward. Nicole also shares the story of Oprah choosing to stay in her own lane when the daytime TV landscape changed, and why knowing what's happening around you doesn't mean you have to become someone else to succeed. The more you water your own grass (with your attention, creativity, consistency, energy and belief), the more you'll eventually look up and realize just how much you've grown.

Ep 631: How Motherhood Can Expand Your Earning Potential and Ambition as a Business Owner

In this week’s Biz Besties episode, Nicole and Kaila are talking about something they wish someone had told them sooner: motherhood doesn't have to shrink your business ambitions, it can actually expand your earning potential and your vision for what's possible. They share three things they've learned about building businesses while raising kids, from becoming even more motivated to create an abundant life for their families to learning that you simply can't do everything yourself. What You’ll Take Away From This Episode: Why having kids can actually make you more ambitious about the life and income you want to create. How becoming a parent can change your relationship with your earning potential and what's possible for your family. Why you can't do it all, and how childcare, support, boundaries, and delegation can help you build a business that works for your life. How to create dedicated work time and treat yourself like a real business owner. Why there's no single “right” way to combine motherhood and entrepreneurship—and how to build it around what works for you. Why wanting more money isn't selfish when that money gives you more choices, opportunities, support, and experiences with your family. The biggest reminder from this episode is that you don't have to choose between being a great mom and building a big business. You get to decide what your version of motherhood, business, money, support, and success looks like, and then build accordingly. If you want the big life, you don't have to wait for someone else to give you permission. You get to go create it!

Ep 630: Mindset Comes First in Business (Here's What I Saw at Our Retreat)

Fresh off our two-day in-person Aligned CEO Method mastermind retreat, I'm sharing the biggest lesson from the room: every goal, challenge, and breakthrough in your business comes back to mindset. I walk you through both days, from small group visibility planning and "who not how" hot seat coaching under our theme Your Network Is Your Net Worth, to day two's bold reminder that you are a really big deal. You'll hear how scripting, guided visualization, and a long table dinner of future self proclamations helped forty women business owners shift their identity and see the next six months with fresh eyes. Whether you were with us or you're craving your own reset, this episode shows you why mindset is the foundation for growing to six and seven figures.
