Why You Still Don't Have Time, Even After Hiring Help EP 124
The kids are finally in bed, and you're back at your laptop doing the thing you've put off all week, even though you hired a VA to take things off your plate.

Get Full Show Notes: consciousedge.com/ep124 Let's Connect on Instagram: @aleciastg In this episode of The Conscious Edge® Podcast, host Alecia St. Germain takes on the number one thing she hears from business owners: "I don't have time." Alecia is a Certified Immunity to Change® Coach, and she explains why longer days, AI tools, and a new VA so often fail to give business owners their time back. Everybody gets the same 24 hours. Alecia shares why time is only one of five capacities, and how the other four (energetic, emotional, relational, and financial) decide how far those hours go. She walks through the things business owners tell themselves that keep time leaking out, like "It's faster if I just do it myself" and "As soon as I wrap this up, I'll have more time." Underneath it all is a big assumption, a hidden rule about staying safe that keeps you saying yes when you mean no and holding on to work you meant to hand off. Alecia shares the moment she caught herself asking "Why can't we ever catch a break?" and why managing your mind isn't enough when your body hasn't caught up. 📝 What We Cover in This Episode: -Why time is only one of five capacities, and how the other four decide where your hours go -Why longer days, AI tools, and a new VA often don't give you your time back -What "it's faster if I just do it myself" is really costing you -Why "as soon as I wrap this up, I'll have more time" never comes true -How a VA can add to your mental load instead of lightening it -The big assumption that keeps you saying yes when you mean no -Why managing your mind isn't enough when your body hasn't caught up

How Do You Decide Who to Trust in Business? EP 123
You've written someone off before they finished their sentence, or you're halfway through checkout because a countdown timer told you to, and either way the decision got made before you had a chance to think. Join Podcast Club: Watch episodes like this one recorded live, then stay for a private conversation afterward to ask your own questions. Join us at consciousedge.com/club. Get Full Show Notes: consciousedge.com/ep123 Let's Connect on Instagram: @aleciastg In this episode of The Conscious Edge® Podcast, host Alecia St. Germain and co-host Jonathan Dugger, a clinical psychologist and entrepreneur, sit down for a Mindfulness Matters with Jonathan conversation about judgment vs. discernment. Judgment hands down a fast verdict about who someone is. Discernment stays curious about the behavior, the context, and your own reaction before it decides. Jonathan shares the moment at the bank when he wrote a man off as a jerk, then looked closer and saw someone asking for help. Alecia and Jonathan also make room for what judgment is there to do, from keeping you safe in a crisis to pointing you toward your values. Then they look at how to decide who to trust in business, using the coaching industry as their example. They talk about why a sales pitch can leave you feeling like you have to buy right now, how to tell if you need a therapist, a coach, a strategist, or a consultant, and the questions to ask any expert before you hire them. Jonathan's full checklist of questions and red flags is in the show notes. 📝 What We Cover in This Episode: -The difference between judgment and discernment, and how to feel which one you're in -Why judgment aims at a person while discernment looks at the behavior and the context -What your snap judgments are for, and when to trust your gut -How your judgments can point you to your values and your boundaries -Why a sales pitch can leave you feeling like you have to buy right now -Why curiosity helps you decide with more confidence -How to know if you need a therapist, a coach, a strategist, or a consultant -Four questions to ask any coach or expert before you hire them

How to Stop Overthinking Decisions in Your Business EP 122
You've had the email written for three days, and every time you open it a voice asks who you think you are, so you close it and go do something you know you can get right. Start With the Capacity Decision Guide: Sort everything on your plate and see what's yours to lead, delegate, outsource, grow, or release. Get it at consciousedge.com/decision. Get Full Show Notes: consciousedge.com/ep122 Let's Connect on Instagram: @aleciastg In this episode of The Conscious Edge® Podcast, host Alecia St. Germain shares a talk she gave live on the InvestHer Con stage in Phoenix about what hesitation is costing you and how to stop overthinking. Alecia opens with a phone call from her best friend that changed how she shows up. From there, she shows why overthinking is a capacity problem, not a time problem, and why hesitation never costs just one thing. As a Certified Immunity to Change® Coach, Alecia explains the perceived threats that keep business owners stuck, including judgment, rejection, and imposter syndrome, and the psychological immune system behind them. Then she shares the Leadership Rhythm: Focus Out for direction, Focus On for momentum, and Focus In for restoration. Listeners also get five categories for sorting everything on their plate, so they know what's theirs to carry and what isn't. 📝 What We Cover in This Episode: Why hesitation never costs you just one thing, and how it compounds The difference between real threats and perceived threats like judgment, rejection, and imposter syndrome Why imposter syndrome doesn't go away as you grow, and what to build instead The Leadership Rhythm: Focus Out, Focus On, and Focus In Five categories for everything on your plate: lead, delegate, outsource, grow, and release Why cheap help can't deliver a result you can't create yourself (and the same goes for AI) Why taking care of yourself is the first thing you cancel, and the one thing no one can do for you The one question that helps you stop overthinking and start showing up

When to Hire, and Why Cheap Help Often Costs You Twice EP 121
You're buried in work you know you shouldn't be doing, and hiring the cheapest help you can find feels like the fastest way out, right up until you're paying for the same job twice.

Get Full Show Notes: www.consciousedge.com/ep121 Let’s Connect on Instagram: @aleciastg In this episode of The Conscious Edge Podcast, host Alecia St. Germain sits down with financial strategist Jenn Baas for a Monthly Money Talks with Zen Jenn conversation about hiring. Jenn is the founder of Peak to Peak Solutions and leads the Financial Leadership Lab for Alecia's clients. When a business owner is buried in work, hiring feels like the answer. Alecia shared the pattern she sees most often. Owners hand expert-level work to the cheapest help they can find, then feel let down when it doesn’t work out. Jenn explains how to know when to hire and why most hires feel like a stretch at first. She also clears up the myths about 1099 contractors and W-2 employees that trip up so many business owners. Together, Alecia and Jenn show why cheap help often costs twice as much in the end, and why knowing your numbers is part of the job of every CEO. 📝 What We Cover in This Episode: -How to tell when it's time to hire, and why your profit and loss statement alone won't tell you -What the stair step effect is and why most hires feel like a stretch at first -The real difference between a 1099 contractor and a W-2 employee (hint: it has nothing to do with the job) -Why the IRS won't care that your contractor asked to be paid that way -Why cheap help often costs you twice -Why a savvy contractor may cost you more than a great employee -How to research what a hire will cost before you post the job -Why knowing your numbers is part of your job as CEO

The Framework That Will Change How You Look at Every Income Stream You Have EP 119
What if the smartest way to size up any income stream isn't how much it pays you, but how much it costs your brain? You're Invited to Join Podcast Club: Here's the thing about podcasts. You listen, have thoughts and questions, then go on with your day. Podcast Club is different.

Now she's a co-founder of GoBundance Women, co-host of the Power Up Your Life podcast, and the investor behind 373 doors of workforce housing, student housing, and a boutique motel reposition. In this episode, Mandy sits down with Alecia St. Germain to unpack the framework she built after a season of saying yes to everything, a car wash, a motel, a stack of apartment buildings, until she couldn't tell what was actually working. She walks through the four quadrants of Return on Brain SpaceTM, the question that finally stopped a deal from draining her, and the $4 fix that turned a struggling motel into a five star magnet. They also get honest about the big assumption underneath all of it: that she only mattered if she had a trophy to hold up. It's a conversation about scale, enough, and how to tell the difference. What You'll Discover: -Why the smartest metric for any income stream might not be what it pays you, it might be what it costs your brain -The four-quadrant framework Mandy uses to decide what to keep, what to fix, and what to walk away from -The exact question that helped her set a real deadline on a deal that wasn't working -How a $4 change turned a struggling boutique motel into a five-star review machine -The big assumption that had her chasing trophies instead of trusting her own worth -Why scaling isn't the goal for everyone, and how to know what's actually right for you right now

How to Tell the Difference Between a Boundary and Avoidance EP 117
Setting boundaries and protecting your peace has become a popular topic in personal development. Alecia and Jonathan break down the real difference between a healthy boundary and boundary language that's actually just avoidance in disguise, and why getting that distinction wrong is costing you the relationships and results you actually want.

Get Full Show Notes: www.consciousedge.com/ep117 Let’s Connect on Instagram: @aleciastg In this episode, Alecia St. Germain and her longtime co-host Jonathan Dugger dig into a phrase that's everywhere right now: "I'm setting a boundary and protecting my peace." They unpack what actually separates a boundary that's grounded in your values from language that's just avoidance wearing a boundary's clothes. Alecia gets honest about her own break from recording this podcast and whether that was a boundary or something else entirely. Jonathan brings the clinical lens, breaking down avoidance as a short-term, immediate reaction versus boundaries as long-term and value-driven. Together they get into ghosting, people-pleasing, the body's reaction the first time you set a real boundary, and a simple three-step process for knowing which one you're actually doing. 📝 What We Cover in This Episode: -How to tell if you're setting a boundary or just avoiding something uncomfortable -Why avoidance can start small and quietly grow into a much bigger pattern over time -What it means when your boundary is actually an attempt to control someone else's behavior -Why ghosting someone creates more anxiety for both people than an honest conversation would -The body sensation that shows up the first time you set a boundary that's actually healthy for you -A three-step process for checking your motive before you cut someone off or speak up -Why you can't help your initial emotional reaction, but you can choose your response
