1. Overworking, Underliving: 3 Daily Habits That Actually Lead to Success

You’ve seen the press. The awards. The picture-perfect highlight reels. But what if none of that is what actually builds a sustainable business?

In this honest and energizing episode, I sit down with TEDx speaker, coach, and Big Goal Energy founder Bri Seeley to talk about what really moves the needle—and why the simplest, most boring tasks are often the ones that generate the most results.

Bri shares how she went from a high-profile fashion career (hello, Grammys and celebrity placements) to walking away from it all, redefining success, and building a business that actually supports her life.

If you’re tired of chasing shiny strategies and want a business that works (and feels good)? This episode is your permission slip to stop overworking, start realigning, and trust the boring things that actually build momentum.

Why Most Success Stories Are Only Half the Truth

Bri opens up about what success looked like on the outside—fashion weeks, awards, celebrities—but how, behind the scenes, she was battling anxiety, burnout, and a deep sense of misalignment.

She didn’t pivot with a carefully crafted five-year plan. She trusted her gut, hired a coach, and shut down her fashion brand overnight.

That moment cracked something open. And instead of rebuilding from hustle and pressure, she began building with joy, clarity, and deep alignment.

What Actually Creates Momentum

One of the most powerful truths Bri shares in this conversation is that most of the results we want come from unsexy, repeatable actions.

It’s the stuff we overlook because it doesn’t feel flashy: pitching a potential client, following up, writing the email, reaching out again. These aren’t glamorous—but they are the difference between stagnation and growth.

Instead of chasing trends, Bri has built her business by committing to what actually matters—and letting structure and simplicity lead the way.

How to Stop Letting Your Ambition Burn You Out

As driven women, we’re often taught that “bigger, faster, more” is the path to success. But if your ambition is running the show without direction, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed and disconnected from your goals.

Bri breaks down her Goal Getter method—one she uses personally and teaches her clients—to help you stay anchored in your big vision without drowning in the details. It’s simple, powerful, and designed to get you into focused action every single day.

Why Storytelling (Done Right) Attracts Your Best Clients

Storytelling is one of the most powerful tools we have as business owners—when it’s used with intention.

In this conversation, Bri shares how she draws from her lived experiences to create both connection and visibility. The way she speaks about her journey helps people see themselves in her story and trust that she understands what they’re working through.

We also talk about the difference between sharing for connection and sharing for attention. The most effective stories are rooted in purpose. They’re chosen with care and crafted to reflect your experiences, the transformation you offer, and why you’re the right person to guide someone through it.

This is something I work on with my clients all the time. When your story is clear and aligned with your message, it naturally attracts the right people. It positions you as someone who’s both capable and relatable—so trust builds faster, and the right-fit clients are more likely to say yes.
