Friend, I know you hear about the importance of self-care all the time. 

You know you have to take care of yourself. 

But that doesn’t mean it’s easy. 

Even when your mind and body are literally screaming at you to take care of yourself - in the form of stress, frustration, panic attacks, or something else - you still hustle and grind and put in more work. 

I’ve been there. 

In today’s episode, I’m sharing about the time I literally broke out in hives from stress after secret shoppers left devastating reviews for my store.

I’m not even kidding. For two weeks I had these awful, painful, full-body hives. 

What’s worse is that I just felt completely lost. Like I had no tools or ideas for getting myself grounded and back into a state of calm again. 

If you’re in this place today, I am here for you. You are not alone. 

Think of this as your permission, from a coach, to finally put some tools in place for how you’re going to take care of you. 

Not just tools, but real chunks of time on your calendar to make it happen.

My body being covered in hives was the wake-up call that I needed to start a self-care routine. 

Before that, it was seriously lacking!  But I’ve since incorporated a handful of self-care habits that I cannot live without.

I call them ‘woo’ self-care habits because my husband and family kind of tease me for some of these things!

So if you have some self-care rituals that your friends or family think are a little “weird” too, good for you!

Be unapologetic in taking care of yourself! I’m proud of you, and I’m over here cheerin’ you on. Keep doing those things that allow you to show up in the world as your best self. 

Feel free to steal some of the habits I mention here or let them inspire you to create your own!

Alright, let’s dive into these “woo” self-care habits of mine. Press Play!

Friends, I am so glad you’re with me for today’s show!

My friend Alexander Kriech is here, and he’s sharing how numerology can help us understand our strengths, habits, and personal relationships.

Alex is a numerologist, intuitive, energy healer, and teacher.

He helps people get clear on their own energy by validating their soul’s experiences and putting that into words. 

Today, he’s going to explain what numerology is and how it can give you insight into your past and future. 

To show an example, he’ll be doing a live reading with me of my life path number.

And you’re going to want to stick around until the end, because he’ll also go through all of the birth date life path numbers from 1 through 9. 

So you can do a quick chart of your number by looking up your full birth date, and then listen along and see if you relate to his description of your soul!

If you’re thinking, “What? Life path number? How do chart that?” It’s actually really easy!

Just take the numerical value of your birth year, month, and day, and keep adding all of those numbers together until you end up with a single-digit number.

Friends, I literally cannot wait for you to hear this interview with the beautiful and talented Molly Bruggeman. 

Molly and I connected when she became a coaching client of mine this past spring. 

As you’ll hear her explain, when we started our coaching sessions, on paper, her career looked like a dream.

She worked full-time, was using her degree, had benefits, earned a salary that paid for everything she could need, had her own desk inside a big office….

And yet..even though this job seemed like it should be something she felt excited about...she found herself waking up every day and dreading going into work. 

She felt completely drained when her shift was over. 

She knew she wasn’t using all of her talents to her full potential at work. 

Can you relate? ✋✋

I can totally see myself in Molly’s story, and I’m willing to bet many of you can, too.

You’ll hear how she uncovered her strengths and took that first leap in believing in herself (even though anxiety was rearing it’s ugly head and telling her not to) and completely turned things around in her work and life. 

 I have goosebumps just thinking about it.

Beautiful friend, you’re a woman leader who shows up for others with a huge, giving heart. 

So I know you’ve spent at least some of your time being a people pleaser and putting yourself last on your list of priorities.

That’s why the word “boundary” might make you feel uneasy. We’ve been conditioned that boundaries are a bad thing. A sign of weakness or missed opportunities.

But today, we’re going to shatter this belief. Because here’s the real truth:

Boundaries do not hold you back. Boundaries set you free! 

They block out all the distractions and noise that keep you from going after your purpose. 

They force you to understand what really matters to you most, so you can guard your precious time and energy for just that.

In this episode of the podcast, you’ll walk away with 5 steps for setting boundaries in your own life, so you can start taking control of your time and energy today.

We’re baaackk! I’m kicking off Season #3 of the podcast with some exciting news:

Episode Show Notes:

If I could meet each and every one of you for a face-to-face coaching session and teach you my hiring process, girl, believe me when I say: I would be there in a second with the coffee on! 

But since there are only so many hours in a day :) I did the next best thing:

Have you ever heard the saying, “You create the content you need to hear?” 

Isn’t it true that when you’re looking to feel encouraged in your own life, you find yourself uplifting others through a post on social media, or by sending a text to a friend cheering them on? 

Or when you’re feeling like you need to get motivated, suddenly you find yourself creating a list of goals for your day or week. (This is a huge one I think for a lot of us now that we are deep into February and that initial excitement of our New Year’s goals is almost two months behind us!)

This thought that you create what you yourself need really resonated with me!  I realized that while I have been spending a lot of my time recently creating an entire podcast season and an online course dedicated to teaching women business owners how to hire the right people, I have also been right there in the trenches alongside all of you! 

Over the past few months, I have been hiring in my own business and making some notable hiring blunders too. 

Since I talk to so many women entrepreneurs and coaching clients who share their hiring successes and failures with me, I thought today’s show would be the perfect opportunity to flip that script and let you in on my 7 biggest hiring mistakes that I’ve made within the last year. 

You guys know I am a huge believer in learning by failing forward. Failing when you own a business (or do anything really that is worth doing!) just comes with the territory. 

I can honestly say that with each of these mistakes that I am going to share with you, I learned so many valuable lessons that have only made my team and hiring process all the better going forward. 

My goal is for you to learn from my hiring mistakes too, so you can hopefully avoid having to go through them yourself. 

So if you’re ready, let’s tackle some of my biggest hiring mistakes and learn from them together.  Press Play Now! 

We’ve all heard the saying, “Hire slow and fire fast.” But did you know this also applies to you as the owner of your business? 

I know you’re thinking, “Well, that’s cute Chelsea. But I can’t fire myself! I mean, I created this business. I built it from the ground up! So if I’m not the right person for this job, then tell me - who is?!” 

Firing yourself does sound crazy, right?! But think about it. If you had an employee who kept putting off tasks and not getting things done every week, would you be okay with that? 

You would address this if you saw it happening within your business, right?

But think about your own behavior in recent months.

Do you have tasks that you keep pushing off until tomorrow - and then the next day,  and then the next - because you dread doing them? You know the tasks I’m talking about here, and I’m sharing mine with you in this episode! 

These are the tasks that when you finally get around to doing them, after shoving them aside for days, maybe even weeks, it takes you so long to finish them.. that by the time you’re done, you have zero energy left to do anything else for the day.

We’ve all had this happen to us! 

It is a feeling of defeat and it happens to the best of us and while yes you got those tasks done, in the back of your mind you know it didn’t actually do much to serve your customers or move your business forward, even though it required a lot of your time and energy. 

If this is resonating with you, then it is time to fire yourself.

But this doesn’t mean you have to close up shop and quit your business.

Not at all!  

It means it’s time for you to automate, eliminate, or delegate some tasks to other people so you can get back to being productive, and not just busy!

I’m going to help you determine if it is time to fire yourself and find out what you can do about it on today’s show. So if you’re ready to let yourself go and get your business back on track, press play now!

Have you ever had an employee leave and told yourself, “Well, I guess they just weren’t a good fit.” 

If you have, listen up: Turnover is about you as the leader of your business, and not about the employees who are leaving.

Did that sting a little?

 It might, and that’s a good thing! Because if you’re showing up as a B leader, you can bet you’re not going to attract A level employees. How you lead makes all the difference.

You’re a high achiever, so I know you strive to get as much done as you possibly can every day & week! 

But sometimes it can feel like our calendar is the one running our life - instead of us running it (speaking from experience here 😉). 

In today’s episode of the podcast, we’re changing all of that. We’re taking control of our calendars and finding that sweet spot of being our most productive. And, we’re doing it without sacrificing all of our free time to do the things we love outside of work in the process.

You’ll walk away from today’s show knowing:

1. The SEVEN steps to taking control of your calendar (and getting back more of your most precious gift: your time).
2. How good leaders put their biggest goals first. 
3. How to consistently organize your week based on your energy and most productive time blocks, and how to stick to it!

There were also a few lows: Seven months of negative pregnancy tests, and finding out a couple of close friendships meant more to me than to the other people. 

For all the ups and downs, I can’t wait to see what 2020 has in store. Whether you dive into goal setting with both feet, put it off until the last minute, or get fired up about your goals only to get sidetracked by February—this episode is for you! In it, you’ll learn: 

1. My goal setting strategy for 2020, and how you can implement it too!
2. The exercise you need to do before setting your next goal. (Spoiler: Get ready for a big dose of Truth & Vulnerability with this one.)
3. A few of my favorite goal-setting resources to get you started.

Show Notes

“So, what was it like walking on 2,000-degree coals with your bare feet?!”🔥🔥

That’s not a question I thought I’d ever be asked! But after attending a Tony Robbins Unleash the Power Within event a couple of weeks ago, I can now say with all certainty—it was totally AMAZING!! 

Tony taught us how to prime our bodies and build up so much energy that the bottoms of our feet literally pushed the energy of the fire away, kind of like a polarizing effect. I didn’t feel any pain and honestly, I didn’t even feel any heat. When I got to the end of that 15-foot track of burning coals, all I felt was incredibly badass! 💪

The crazy part? This was just Day 1 of the event! The whole thing was completely inspiring and unlike anything I’ve ever attended before.

In this episode of the podcast, I’m giving you a behind-the-scenes look at my experience at Tony Robbins. We’re talking about:

1. My FIVE biggest takeaways from the event.
   
   
2. The six human needs, defined by Tony Robbins, that drive us all.
   
   
3. A ton of new outlooks on how to reach your goals, feel motivated, and even pivot your life.

You’ve found your ideal employee (cue all the champagne bubbles!!) and you might be thinking, 

“How can I truly welcome this person into my work family with open arms?”  🤔🤔🤔

How about with a job offer that is totally customized just for them!

Step into your new employee’s shoes for just a sec. Imagine how valued you would feel from day one if your employer took the time to not just hand you the same job offer as everyone else, but one they created it with your exact priorities in mind.

Sign me up, am I right?! Before you can make a job offer like no other, you have to really know your employee and what matters to them the most. This part of the hiring process is a small one, but it makes all the difference in setting the tone for your new work relationship. 

In today's of Underneath the Clothes Podcast, you’ll learn:

1. Why it’s important to make a job offer before you present a contract.
   
   
2. How to craft the perfect job offer by asking the right questions.
   
   
3. The seven categories I have all of my new employees consider before I present them with a job offer. 
   
   

I remember thinking, “I am barely making enough money to pay myself, how am I going to be able to hire someone and pay them, too?”

Sound familiar?🙋🙋🙋

If the cost is what’s holding you back from hiring someone to help you in your business, I understand that fear. But what if you flipped that thinking, and instead of only seeing the upfront cost of hiring, you saw all the things you stand to gain by hiring. 

Things like:

✅ More time to work on your business, instead of just in it.

✅ More time to do the tasks that align with your strengths and fill your cup (instead of depleting your energy).

✅ More time with your family and friends (goodbye 80-hour work week!! 👋👋)

I mean, imagine if you hired someone for only 5 or 10 hours each week. What could you do in your business in that time to not just make that money back, but double it or even take it times five? You don’t have to hire full time to see a big difference. The key is hiring the right people, because when you do, they more than pay for themselves.

In this episode of Underneath the Clothes, we’re teaching you:

1. How to hire someone in your small business even if you only have $50 or $100 each week to spare. 
   
   
2. How to delegate tasks so you can get back to using your strengths in your business vs. doing everything else (and how this will help grow your profit).
   
   
3. Why it’s so crucial that you take your time hiring. 

Question - how's the communication in your marriage?

Gulp. That can question can hit something deep within us!

That's why in today's episode, I’m breaking tradition and inviting our only male guest to the podcast: my lovely husband Thaddeus Giedd! Thad and I work together on so many things-we are business partners and life partners, and on today we’re getting real about:

1. What our marriage looks like! How we are alike, and how we are so, SO very different. 
   
   
2. Some tools we use to work through our differences (and how we handle BOTH wanting to be in control.)
   
   
3. The weekly check-in routine that helps us to communicate and stay connected. 
   

Imagine knowing your future employees.

I mean really knowing them, like what motivates them, what kind of environment they thrive in, and how they respond to challenges. 

Now imagine knowing all of this BEFORE you hire them, not after. #GameChanger!!

One thing I hear over and over again from job candidates after they interview with Chelsea’s is that our interview process is unlike any other they've been a part of before.

And that’s a good thing! Because I truly believe an interview isn’t just your typical Q & A, but rather, it’s your chance to meet the people who share your values and will work alongside you toward your bigger mission! 

How amazing is that? As business owners, if we’re not excited to be meeting our future team members, then we’re not doing something right in the interview. 

So close that Google search on “Interview Questions” my friends, you won’t need that here because we’re crafting something so much better!

In this episode, we’re sharing:

1. Details on the three types of interviews we do with all of our full-time employees.
   
   
2. Interview questions that will really reveal if someone shares your mission, core values, and company culture.
   
   
3. The hands-on activities that you should be doing in every interview to see your job candidates’ skills in action. 

Ever wish you could be a “fly on the wall,”  listening in on how experienced business owners conduct interviews with potential employees? 

✋✋ Girl, me too!! ✋✋ When I first started hiring at Chelsea’s, lemme just be real with you: I had no idea what I was doing or how to handle the interview process. I’ve been through a lot of trial and error over the years on my way to figuring out what works and what doesn’t.

So in today’s episode of the podcast, I’m pulling back the curtain and giving you an inside look at the THREE most important things I’ve learned to do in every single interview to make sure it’s a success.

We’re talking about:

1. How to start each interview so that your job candidates can put those initial nerves behind them and feel like themselves around you.
   
2. Why you shouldn’t be the only person doing the interview.
   
   
3. What you can do to give candidates a chance to show you their real character. 

We are in our FOURTH episode in our hiring series on this podcast, and today we are talking about one of my favorite things: Setting Expectations. I am celebrating because I know this episode is going to change your business (and life!) for the better, and I can’t wait to share it with all of you!

For some people, the term “setting expectations” might seem a little scary. Maybe you’re picturing yourself having to give a stern lecture to someone else, or giving a boring presentation on rules, rules, and more…rules. But I promise this is not the case!

Setting expectations means you are laying the groundwork for open communication and accountability, and that happens BEFORE you hire. At Chelsea’s, we go over two sets of expectations during every interview:

1)      Employee’s Expectations, and

2)      Manager’s Expectations.

That’s right friends, expectations are a two-way street. We expect a lot out of our employees, but we also want them to know they can expect a lot from us as their managers.

Today’s show is all about communicating those expectations, and you’ll walk away knowing:

1)      How to identify your expectations and why it’s important to go over them during the interview process.

2)      Some examples of effective expectations for both employees and managers, and

3)      The benefits of having your employees take ownership of their expectations.

Which would you rather build:

A)      Another place to work, OR
B)      A tribe of people who work together for a bigger purpose?

If you said B, you’ve come to the right podcast. But how do you take your business from A to B?

It all starts by implementing your core values and mission statement into your hiring process.

In this episode, we:

1)      Identify & create your values and mission statement (or update them if it’s been a while since you’ve pulled them out of your desk drawer 😊).

2)      Get specific! Sister, you created your business, and you are what makes it stand apart from every other business out there. It’s all about developing core values and a mission that are as unique and amazing as you are!

3)      Dive into why your values and mission need to be an integral part of your hiring process and how you can make that happen.

The best people who have ever worked for me have said in their interview, “I want to work here because in your job description, your core values are literally my own core values.” Those are the kinds of people you are looking for (#Tribe Material!). 

Episode #17 Why you keep hiring the wrong people

Pay attention sister, because I’m about to throw some tough love your way.

If you are having problems with your employees or problems hiring the right people—it is YOUR fault.

I’m gonna repeat that one more time for the ladies in the back: It is YOUR fault.

Those excuses we all use to blame everyone else when an employee doesn’t show up for a shift, or never meets expectations after they’re hired? It’s time to let those go for good. You know the ones I’m talking about. They sound like this:

 “There just aren’t any good employees who actually want to work!”

 “No one cares about my business like I do. If I want it done right, I have to do it myself!”

“I just cannot find anyone who is a good fit for my business!”

No, No, and No. If you’re going to point fingers or play the blame game, those fingers better be flying your way!

Can we still be friends? 😊 I know this might sting a little, but I also know it’s so important that you hear the truth: The only way you are going to start hiring the right people is if you as a leader take ownership of your own actions. And in this episode, we’re talking all about how you can do just that.

In today’s show we:

1)      Walk through how you can take your own personal inventory, so you can see the ways you are really showing up for your team.

2)      Talk about setting clear expectations (hint: they’re for your employees and you).

3)      Discuss the importance of hiring based on alignment with your core values and mission statement.

Beautiful listeners, my fingers are flying across the keyboard as I write this note to you. Next week, I am launching something BIG at the Underneath the Clothes Podcast, and in today’s episode, I am giving you a front row seat to all the exciting things I have planned JUST for you!

In a nutshell, hiring the right people is everything. Maybe you know you are at the point where you could hire one or more employees, but you have no idea where to even start. Or maybe you have hired people in the past, only to have them quit within a few weeks, leaving you back at square one of the hiring process. Heck, maybe you already do have the best team ever, but are struggling to show them you care and to build up that fun and dedicated work environment we all crave.

Beautiful friends, I have three words for you to memorize today: ASANA DOT COM.

When I tell other entrepreneurs about ASANA, l feel like the kid on the playground who just heard a secret about the best surprise birthday party ever and cannot wait to spread the news! ASANA is a task management software that is SUPER easy to use, clears up my inbox, keeps me focused, and (here’s the best part) IS TOTALLY FREE! I use ASANA for so much, from organizing my business to keeping track of my personal errands and appointments, that my team knows my mantra: If it isn’t in my ASANA, it’s probably not getting done!

Speaking of secrets, in this episode I am letting you in on one of mine:

I might just be one of the most disorganized people you will ever meet.

Shhh!!! 😊

But, here’s the deal: Being disorganized does not stop me from leading two businesses, running a masterminds group, managing over 15 employees, and hosting this podcast. Nope, not at all!

So, if you are the girl with way too many to-do lists (most of which you can’t find), more sticky notes with reminders than you can count, and a Google drive that could use a serious KonMari overhaul- do not despair! From one disorganized friend to another, there are things you can do to “fake” being organized and keep all your boss babe dreams in order.

In this first installment of my two-part series on “How I Fake Being Organized,” I’m going to teach you how to get started with ASANA so you can streamline your tasks and see them all in one place. I can’t wait to hang out with you! Let's get started!

Megan is a numbers girl, as you will find out in this episode. Growing up, she helped her mother with the books in her business, and since then her talents have only multiplied. (Pun intended 😊.) Megan has a master’s in accounting, is a highly sought-out virtual CFO, and a Profit First professional. She is also a business owner who has seen her own numbers go from down to up, so she can relate on a personal level with her clients.

I brought Megan on the show to tell us all about Profit First and how it can empower you to not only understand your money, but to manage it in a way that leads you to reaching your goals.  She shares about the mindset shift Profit First uses to get business owners to think of their profits FIRST, and how it's possible to pay yourself a salary that matches the talent and time you put forth while operating a business that fits inside of your expenses.

When I started using Profit First at Chelsea’s Boutique, for the first time in almost a decade of business, I actually started paying myself a real salary AND was able to put away $50,000 in savings for a down payment on our new home. Cue all the champagne bubbles!

The bottom line is this: Your money does not have to be a monster. It really can work for you, and I am proof of that. Listen as the lovely, witty, and extremely talented Megan Dahle talks about how every business owner can use Profit First.
