457. He Said, She Said: How We're Raising Creators (Not Consumers) in the Age of AI with Dan Martell

What kind of boundaries should be put around your kids' usage of AI? It's easy for kids (and adults) to fall into bouts of mindless scrolling, so it's important to help your children co-create constraints around their device use. My husband Dan Martell and I are sharing the boundaries we've created around AI and technology use in our house in this episode. We're also revealing exactly how we use it to reduce overwhelm and add to productivity in the management of our home. In this episode, you will learn about: Why it's important to be a creator rather than a consumer online. The importance of celebrating what you create, even if other people don't. How we use Claude to help us manage our household. Why so many parents struggle with productivity, and how AI can actually help. The things AI can do that you might not realize (which will make your life way easier). The sneaky (and smart) way we use AI tools we use to support our kids' learning. How our kids make extra money in our house instead of getting an allowance. Why doing everything for your kids isn't the answer...teaching them is.     Check out The Pink Skirt Project, happening July 9-10, 2026 in Kelowna, BC, Canada.   Want to get unstuck, feel more confident and surround yourself with women ready to help you climb?

Are you ready to grow, or are you okay with being stuck forever? If you keep moving forward in your business, you'll reach a certain point where you can either stay steady or continue to grow. If you decide to grow, here's something you need to know: the thing that's keeping you stuck isn't your team, your systems, or your brand. It's you. In this episode, I'm sharing what nobody else will tell you about building your business past $500K, or even beyond where you are right now. I'll let you in on the beliefs that stop you from growing and help you reframe so that you can step into your next level. In this episode, you will learn about: What will happen if you keep looking for external factors to get unstuck. What to do to avoid building a business you feel like you have to hold together. The most powerful thing you can do as a leader for yourself and your business. Why you don't need to have all the answers (and what to focus on instead). How the motherhood paradox sets women up for guilt and exhaustion. A question to help you start working through these beliefs.     Check out The Pink Skirt Project, happening July 9-10, 2026 in Kelowna, BC, Canada.   Want to get unstuck, feel more confident and surround yourself with women ready to help you climb?

This is what REAL leadership actually looks like (especially for women). Have you ever been asked a question that you just didn't know the answer to, and it left you feeling embarrassed or like you had an ache in your chest? I've been there too. The reality is that what we're taught about what leadership looks like isn't actually a reflection of what strong leadership is. In this episode, I'm dispelling the most common myths around leadership, and shining a light on what great leadership actually is. In this episode, you will learn about: Why you're not a fraud just because you don't have it all figured out. How anyone can learn to lead, even if you're not dominant, loud, or assertive. The surprising statistic about self doubt that will shift how you judge imposter thoughts. Why capable women can feel like frauds (and how to avoid these traps). Why leading with what you know versus what you feel is the way to go. What you can do to create space in your life for honest leadership.     Check out The Pink Skirt Project, happening July 9-10, 2026 in Kelowna, BC, Canada.   Want to get unstuck, feel more confident and surround yourself with women ready to help you climb?

Learn the mindset you need to have (that most women don't) when building a business. Doubt is a feeling that so many women business owners grapple with, yet we rarely speak about it out loud. This is especially true when it's the kind that creeps up right when everything is actually working out. I spent years in a cycle of waiting for the "perfect" time to do something, or waiting to feel ready, only to talk myself into doing something smaller. In this episode, you'll learn what I did to create a sellable business and the reframe surrounding doubt that changed the entire approach for me. In this episode, you will learn about: The kind of doubt that you don't expect (but meets you at every growth edge). What waiting for the perfect moment is actually costing you. The different ways that doubt stands in the way of shifting your identity. What buyers are actually looking for when purchasing a business. The importance of stability and predictable recurring revenue. Signs you're ready to take action, make a change, and sell your business.     Check out The Pink Skirt Project, happening July 9-10, 2026 in Kelowna, BC, Canada.   Want to get unstuck, feel more confident and surround yourself with women ready to help you climb?

I could never bring myself to fully commit...until now. People are more invested in who is at the helm of businesses they buy from than ever before. This means that, as a leader, building a personal brand has never been more important. I've been building businesses for over two decades, but deep down, I always knew my next level would require a new version of me. In this episode, I'm sharing what I'm doing to embrace my visibility through consistent content creation. It means finally leaning into discomfort, building the right systems, and bringing the right people on board. In this episode, you will learn about: What you need to know about creating content that no one really talks about. Who I hired to help me tell my story so that I can build out loud. How admitting I couldn't do this alone helped me move away from playing small. Why you need a system (and the right people) to consistently share great content. The mindset that your content needs to be "perfect" and why it's not true. Why you might be scared to show up fully and how to shift your perspective. What the hardest part about creating content actually is.     Check out The Pink Skirt Project, happening July 9-10, 2026 in Kelowna, BC, Canada.   Want to get unstuck, feel more confident and surround yourself with women ready to help you climb?

Let me tell you about where to shift your focus and energy. I spent years believing that success requires perfection, and that we need to have it all figured out before taking a step. Here's the secret: you need to focus on excellence. I'm breaking down the differences between perfectionism and excellence today so you can start showing up. Taking those first steps can be uncomfortable, but that stretch is exactly where the growth happens. It's time to start making moves. In this episode, you will learn about: Why being "ready" is a lie, and how chasing perfection keeps you stuck. The many ways perfectionism is actually self-destructive and holds you back. What excellence looks like when it becomes a part of your life. How to build the practice of excellence so you can finally start showing up. How excellence redirects you towards continued improvement and capacity. What happens once you start taking imperfect action that might surprise you. What you can acknowledge right now that will help you focus on excellence.     Check out The Pink Skirt Project, happening July 9-10, 2026 in Kelowna, BC, Canada.   Want to get unstuck, feel more confident and surround yourself with women ready to help you climb?

Building a business before having kids versus with kids is so different. When new moms are looking for advice on how to build a business, they might end up following the advice of someone who has never walked in those shoes. Running a business and being a mother can definitely co-exist, but it didn't look the way I thought it would. Today, I'm sharing everything I learned building a business as a mom of two young boys. In this episode, you will learn about: Why something has to give when you're building a business while raising babies. The thing about running a business that messed me up the most when I became a mom. Why a shifting timeline doesn't mean that you're behind in this season of life. The lesson new moms have to learn the hard way, and how to use it as a superpower. How to prioritize your time as a parent and what's actually important right now. How being an imperfect mom makes you even more grounded and realistic as a leader.     Check out The Pink Skirt Project, happening July 9-10, 2026 in Kelowna, BC, Canada.   Want to get unstuck, feel more confident and surround yourself with women ready to help you climb?

Unraveling this discipline myth can change everything. How many times have you told yourself that you just need more discipline, and that things would work if you just showed up like you said you would? The reality is that white-knuckling your way through something isn't the secret to lasting success. When you start operating from a place of worthiness, something shifts in your nervous system. Today, you'll learn what I'm doing to build evidence that I'm worthy of the success I'm creating and how you can do it too. In this episode, you will learn about: Why the story you tell yourself about discipline is almost always wrong. What we think discipline looks like (especially on social media) and why it's not that. Why forcing yourself to do things isn't sustainable. How changing your language and perspective helps you achieve success. Why believing in your worth is key to creating real change (and avoiding self-sabotage). The day I stopped waiting for "perfect" to show up and how you can do it too. Why surrounding yourself with women who see themselves as worthy really matters.     Check out The Pink Skirt Project, happening July 9-10, 2026 in Kelowna, BC, Canada.   Want to get unstuck, feel more confident and surround yourself with women ready to help you climb?

Here's why it's so important to be seen. I grew a business and raised babies at the same time, all while being married to a man who seemingly drinks jet fuel. Still, I had my own experiences in struggling with confidence. If you've ever looked like you were winning on the outside but felt discouraged and unworthy on the inside, you've been there too. Today I'll reveal how you can build self-worth that doesn't rely on approval from anybody else (or validation from your achievements). Who you are is already good enough, but the more you learn to validate yourself, the more the world will reflect that back to you. In this episode, you will learn about: How we've been taught to measure our worth the wrong way (and how to fix it). The lie women everywhere have been sold about confidence and what it actually is. How the confidence feedback system reinforces your positive self-belief. Why putting other people on a pedestal is actually a subtle form of self-sabotage. What happens to your self-worth when you seek praise and approval from others. What the neuroscience says about unhooking our need for approval. The myth that you need confidence before you can show up. How showing up and being seen helps you build confidence.     Check out The Pink Skirt Project, happening July 9-10, 2026 in Kelowna, BC, Canada.   Want to get unstuck, feel more confident and surround yourself with women ready to help you climb?

Attracting A-players begins with setting the standard yourself. Hiring is something most business owners are not trained to do, but if you're going to be growing your team, it's an important part of the process to get right. Bringing the right people onto your team can be the biggest needle mover in your business...or one of the biggest sources of pain if you don't do it right. In this episode, we're exploring the four core pillars that help you build an incredible team. There are certain aspects of working as a team you can't train for, and figuring out if your candidate has those A-player traits sooner rather than later can save you regret in the long run. In this episode, you will learn about: The mindset that will get you mediocre talent every time (and how to shift it). What A-players are actually looking for when they go into the hiring process. What you have to nail down before you write a job description. A lesson in hiring I had to learn the hard way, and how you can avoid it. How your company culture acts as a magnet and a filter. The single best way to see how someone actually works and solves problems. Changes and mindset shifts you can start making today to hire better people. How getting hiring right from the very beginning can lead to exponential growth.     Check out The Pink Skirt Project, happening July 9-10, 2026 in Kelowna, BC, Canada.   Want to get unstuck, feel more confident and surround yourself with women ready to help you climb?
