Where established business owners reveal what it’s really like to be CEO and simultaneously pursue abundance. Abundance looks different for everyone and no two businesses are built the same. During this open conversation, discover how circumstance, actions, and events created emotional reactions of either abundance or scarcity throughout their business-building journey. Much of whether we grow or get stuck playing small depends on the mindset we choose and the actions we take during the highs and lows throughout our entrepreneurial journey. Find out how workload, relationships, and money played a role in business owners’ decisions, emotions, and mental health during various stages in their business, when they made key decisions about hiring, marketing, and outsourcing, and how hosting their own podcast played a role in their personal development AND the growth of their business. Virginia Elder, host and owner of Podcast Abundance, shares pieces of her own journey from corporate life to freelancer to business owner, plus interviews other entrepreneurs with thriving businesses who use their podcast to establish authority in their niche, provide educational content for potential clients, and drive leads into their business. During the first half of each interview episode, you’ll get an inside look at the guest’s business and hear about challenges, plus the habits and actions that help navigate them. Our goal is to uncover the mindset and mental health shifts that worked for them to help you thrive during your journey. Then, in the second half of the interview, we switch the conversation to marketing strategies and learn how launching a podcast helped them grow their business and mature as a founder, speaker, and collaborator for their brand. Every business needs a reliable marketing arm that consistently and automatically attracts potential clients, and these guests have a successful, active podcast doing exactly that! Learn how they started, what changed, and how they’ve grown since becoming a podcast host. We’ll reveal podcasting strategies that work and prep you for the emotional rollercoaster that occurs any time you step up to play big in life. Abundance is within reach for all of us, but the pursuit of abundance is never over. It takes intention, a clear vision for what abundance means to you, and a consistent level of consciousness around your actions and emotions throughout your journey. Cheers to Reaching Abundance together!

My personal fitness journey has been riddled with a yo-yo cycle of excitement, excuses, goal-setting, and falling off the bandwagon. In pursuit of excuse elimination, I’ve discovered a deeper self-awareness, uncovered patterns, discovered the number one reason we don’t meet our goals, and experimented with lifestyle changes for the entire family.
What if you could make life less chaotic and end each day feeling more accomplished?
In general, there’s always a goal you’re working toward. Perhaps it’s fitness, financial, or career-related. How many times have you said you’ll “start on Monday” and then not actually started on Monday?
Or, maybe you did start on Monday, but fell off after just a few days? Old habits die hard, huh? Personally, I resort to excuses like I’m too busy, tired, etc. and accidentally self-sabotage my way into quitting on the thing I really wanted to do.
In this episode, we’re examining self-sabotaging patterns and exploring how to get rid of the excuses. I will share my struggles, what I’ve learned about myself, and the thought processes I’ve been evaluating in my own life.
My newfound awareness of excused-based self-sabotage cycles in my life has allowed me to consciously break them down, question the negativity and excuses that seem to be my default, and refocus on what I need to do to make progress on my path toward abundance.
Self-awareness and pattern interruption is becoming ever-important for me throughout this journey.
In this episode, listen for:
- How and why I committed to one goal and how doing so affected my thought process
- Ditching the countless commitments that we “should” fulfill and choosing to pursue the most important (to us) ones.
- What are the triggers for self-sabotage? Nothing worthwhile ever comes easily, but perhaps the greatest challenge is moving through your own excuses.
In this episode, you’ll also hear:
[00:09:17] Recognizing the patterns of behavior and the settings under which they occur
[00:16:00] The only way to break the habit of making excuses is to become conscious of your own thought and behavior patterns that contribute to the problem
[00:20:22] When we convince ourselves that something is difficult, it’s usually because we’re avoiding it out of some underlying emotional response, like a fear of failing.
