welcome to
Over the past decade I’ve had the honor of teaching tens of thousands of women how to build a personal brand in alignment with their gifts and values.
As a coach and content creator, I’ve been transparent about my journey to seven figures and the major lessons I’ve learned regarding money, business, and relationships.
I created this podcast to continue the conversation and share the exact strategies I’ve used to build a successful business while incoroporating routines, habits, and systems to build wealth, nurture my relationships, and prioritize my health.
My desire is to ensure women aren’t building business that only lead to money – but businesses that also lead to peace, joy, and fulfillment.
If you’re ready to build a successful business that gives you the freedom to live a life you love, you’re in the right place. Welcome to the Work Hard, Live Soft podcast. 💗

My professional titles are brand strategist and business coach. But simply put, I help faith-based experts and entrepreneurs build high-end coaching businesses through my company Built To Impact.
Within the last 15 years in the branding space, I’ve supported thousands of clients and customers with their brand clarity, launch strategies, and business growth.
My ultimate goal is to help my clients be profitable with their finances, but also in life fulfillment.
On a personal note…
My clients describe me as “The Queen of Messaging” and a straight-forward, down-to-earth business coach who “loves Jesus & twerking“. LOL!
I love fitness and wellness and run an activewear company on the side called Rebelious by Maya Elious.
I’m a dog mom to a 14-year-old Schnoodle named Max.
I’m an auntie to two nieces and a nephew who I adore more than anything in this world.
…and now, I’m officially a podcast host! I’m so grateful to have you here!
