Sometimes we get so busy building a successful life… that we forget to stop and actually live it.

This weekend, my 14-year-old daughter and I spent a few days together at a mother-daughter retreat at the Akwaaba Mansion in the Poconos.

We made vision boards.

We had tea together.

We laughed.

We rested.

We talked for hours.

And somewhere in the middle of all of it, I realized something…

These aren’t interruptions to life.

They ARE life.

As entrepreneurs, parents, and leaders, it’s so easy to keep saying…

“When things slow down…”
“After this project…”
“Next summer…”
“One day…”

But “one day” isn’t promised.

This weekend reminded me that the memories we’re hoping to create someday… have to be scheduled today.

So I’ve made a decision.

Next year, I’m bringing more of my daughters.

And my mom.

I’m taking ALL that I can from this life.

The conversations.

The adventures.

The laughter.

The quiet moments.

The memories.

No regrets.

The business matters.

The mission matters.

But the people waiting for us at home…

They matter too.

As we head into a new quarter, I’m not just setting business goals.

I’m planning experiences.

Because the life I’m building deserves just as much intention as the business I’m building.

I’m done postponing joy. The memories are part of the mission, too.

💜 Tell me… what’s ONE thing you’re saying YES to before this summer is over?

“This is the conversation childcare business owners need to hear.”

Because sometimes the problem isn’t that you’re not working hard enough.

Sometimes the real issue is:
• your center depends too much on you
• your systems aren’t supporting growth
• enrollment alone isn’t fixing the pressure
• money may be leaking through staffing, collections, or weak follow-up
• or you’re carrying the entire business without a clear CEO structure

And most childcare owners stay stuck longer than they should because nobody teaches them how to actually step back and look at the business from a CEO perspective.

That’s exactly why I created the:
🔥 Find Your $20K Leak Challenge

A free LIVE 3-day challenge happening June 9–11 where we’ll uncover:
• where your business may be leaking money
• what’s creating pressure inside your center
• what systems need attention
• and how to start building a 90-day CEO plan moving forward

If you’re ready to stop constantly putting out fires and finally understand what’s really happening inside your childcare business…

Comment CEO and I’ll send you the details.

Most childcare owners don’t actually have a revenue problem.

They have:
- a systems problem
- a leadership bottleneck
- a profitability leak
- or a center that still depends too heavily on them to function

And the hard part?

Most owners don’t even realize where the real issue is until they finally stop and look at the numbers, systems, and habits running their business.

That’s exactly why I’m hosting the:
🔥 Find Your $20K Leak Challenge

A free LIVE 3-Day Challenge designed specifically for childcare business owners who are ready to stop surviving in their business and start leading like a CEO.

Inside this challenge, we’re going to uncover:
- where money may be leaking inside your childcare business
- how enrollment gaps, unpaid balances, staffing issues, and weak systems quietly affect profitability
- why growth can still feel overwhelming even when money is coming in
- what may be keeping your center dependent on you
- and how to create a clearer 90-day CEO plan moving forward

Over 3 powerful days, we’ll cover:
✅ Day 1: The CEO Shift
Find the owner leak and identify where you may still be operating in survival mode instead of leading strategically.
✅ Day 2: The Revenue Leak
We’ll break down the numbers and uncover where money may be slipping through the cracks inside your business.
✅ Day 3: The Profit Turnaround Plan
You’ll build a simple 90-day CEO plan focused on what needs your attention first.

This challenge is for childcare owners who are:
- tired of constantly putting out fires
- carrying every decision and every problem alone
- struggling with enrollment, staffing, collections, or systems
- feeling like money comes in but disappears just as fast
- ready to stop operating from panic and start leading with strategy

📅 June 9–11, 2026
⏰ Live at 7:00 PM ET each night
⭐ VIP Pre-Session begins at 6:30 PM ET

If you’re ready to stop guessing and finally identify what’s really holding your childcare business back…

We hit something big this week. And I want to share it with this community.

We are less than $50,000 away from our 2028 revenue goal.
In May 2026.

Two years early.

Now... is everything perfect?

No.

The revenue is moving but the profit is where the real work is right now.

Which means my focus has shifted from growing what comes in to reducing what goes out. Protecting the margin. Building something sustainable, not just something that looks impressive.

I am sharing this because this community deserves to know that I am in this work right alongside you. Every conversation I bring here, every resource I share, every topic I teach on... it is coming from what I am actually experiencing in my own programs and in the work I do with childcare owners across the country.

We can always find what is not enough. What is still broken. What still needs fixing.

And those things are real.

But I also want us to be honest about what we HAVE built.

How far we have come.

And what the next focused step actually is.
Because the goal was never just revenue.

The goal was always a profitable, sustainable, freedom-producing business. And we keep working until we get there.

I also want to share something I am really excited about.

Because of conversations like the ones we have in this community... I officially opened the CEO Table Membership.

Monthly masterclasses.

Real community.

Consistent strategy.

For the childcare owner who is ready to be intentional about growth... not just busy inside their program.

20 Founding member spots are open right now and I want MY community to be first to know.

And drop a 🔥 if hitting a goal two years early is the kind of thing you want for your own business.

Because that is exactly what we work toward together. 🤎

If you missed the last one — you already know.
But here’s your second chance. 👇🏾

We are a little over 30 days away from the Full Circle CEO Experience 3.0 and I need you to hear me clearly:
This is not repeat content.

Same powerful community. Same intimate room. Same goal — that you leave equipped, empowered, and actually ready to execute.

But this time? We’re building for the season that can make OR break your year. ☀️

Summer is coming.

And if your systems aren’t ready — you already know what that looks like:
Staff leaving.
Enrollment dipping.
Revenue slipping.
You working MORE while the business produces LESS.

April 11 is where we fix that.

We’re walking through:
✅ Enrollment stability plans
✅ Staffing retention systems
✅ Revenue strategies for a profitable summer
✅ Operations that run WITHOUT you
✅ Your full 90-day CEO ex*****on plan

PLUS — behind the scenes access to 30,500 sq ft of real, running operations. Two sites. Real systems. Your questions answered.

And VIP? We made it even MORE VIP.

Not just dinner anymore. Priority hot seats. A Saturday evening implementation extension. Sunday Implementation and@Action@Planning Brunch.
Pre + post event calls.
You leave done-done.

Here’s what you need to know right now:
📍 Philadelphia, PA
📅 Saturday, April 11, 2026 (VIP April
10-12)

🎟️ Only 20 seats. We’re already halfway sold out.

💳 Deposit options available — hold your spot for as low as $150.

I can’t put into words how full we walked away from the last one.

But watch this video. And then don’t make the mistake of waiting.

Learning with my team!

Yesterday and today is the FirstUp annual
Childcare conference.

Learning, reunion amongst longstanding childcare owners, sparking new ideas, sparking new relationships, reenergizing, and staying equipped with the tools to remain and grow in this business.

Momma came out with us and it shows that even with 45 years experience in this work, there’s still learning to do.

We were able to bring some of our staff and may use it as a PD day next year.

We even got to spend the day with Mrs. Nicole, picyure shown here, my first Asst Director and Director when I had no clue what I was doing was expanding for the first time!

I learned so much feok that growth but I’ve always still had great relationships with past employees so spending time with her all day was a beautiful full circle moment.

Stay in the work, friends.

Gain new perspectives.

Learn and apply.

Great leaders and even greater students. ❤️

P.S. Tickets now available for the next Full Circle CEO in-person event. Here’s your chance to get in the room, learn and grow with an amazing group of existing childcare owners growing their businesses right alongside you.

Deposits and payment plans available.
No excuses 😉
