Have you thought about finally starting that business now that your kids are older? Do you ever stay awake wondering how to mesh your passions into purposeful work? Do you have big, ambitious goals, but feel overwhelmed or even unqualified to pursue them? Do you desire simplicity and a life without hurry, but you still want to pursue your goals? With inflation skyrocketing, you may be feeling the need to make some extra money to take the pressure off at home or just to have fun money again, and you’re also ready to make an impact outside your home bubble. Turning your knowledge into an online business sounds like a great side hustle to consider. But... you don’t want to sacrifice your family time, and you have no idea where to start! It sounds simple enough, but you’re asking yourself if you’re good enough, if you know enough, if people will want what you have to offer, and if you have what it takes to make something like this work for you in the season you’re in. Well, in this podcast, I will help you clarify your goals and teach you how to use your interests to define your purpose. I’ll help you create systems so you can find the time you need to take action. You’ll learn how to create an atmosphere of simplicity and a life without hurry by setting boundaries, decluttering your schedule and mind, and ditching the distractions so you can finally be present right where you are while growing a successful online business. I have no doubt that you can both make an impact and money all while enjoying what you do. My ultimate mission is to help you step into the fire of refinement so God can mold and shape you into a woman ready to tackle the vision He placed in your heart. If you’re ready to say yes to what’s next and get unstuck, you’re in the right place. Hey, I’m Gabe. A wife, mom, writer, runner, and Jesus lover! For years I put my dreams on the shelf thinking I had to sacrifice my own desires for motherhood. I thought I needed to be everything to everyone, but in the process I lost myself. I felt so scattered because I had way too many things on my plate, and I made all the excuses! What I realize now, after hitting a massive goal of qualifying for the Boston Marathon, is that my kids need me to pursue my own goals so I can be their best example. They need to see me win - and yours do too! As a running enthusiast, I believe life is one massive marathon, so if you’re ready to turn your passion and purpose into impact and income all for the glory of God, then lace up those running shoes, pop in your ear buds, and let’s do this thing! Step into the fire with me because I know you will come out stronger. Topics: simple goal planning, setting goals you’ll take action on, online business strategy, simplified business organization, action taking that works Learn - https://redhotmindset.com Grow: https://redhotmindset.newzenler.com/f/rhm-newsletter Community: https://redhotmindset.com/rha

Hey Winner,
There’s a pressure in the online business world that says you have to be visible everywhere to grow. Post daily. Show up constantly. Stay relevant. Stay in the loop.
In this next talk, I’m sitting down with Kassy Eichele for an honest conversation about what happens when you step away from that pressure. Kassy helps moms streamline their homes and restore peace and order to their weeks. And she’s done it largely without traditional social media.
We talk about why she chose to step away, what it’s actually been like to live and parent offline, and what building a business without social has taught her about focus and sustainability.
If you’ve ever felt torn between wanting a thriving business and wanting a quieter, more intentional life, this conversation will feel grounding.

Hey Winner,
It’s easy to start measuring growth by numbers. Followers. Reach. Engagement. But over time, those numbers can become the focus… and we can lose sight of what actually matters most.
In this episode, we’re taking a step back to look at a different way of building—one that prioritizes people over metrics, connection over attention, and impact that actually lasts.
If you’ve been feeling the pressure to grow your audience or wondering if there’s a more meaningful way to build your business, this conversation will help you refocus on what really creates lasting impact. This is for the entrepreneur who wants to grow without losing the heart behind why they started.
