The Rise and Shine Podcast

I had the joy of sitting down with Megan Rauchbach Geyer owner of Southern Magnolia Home Inspections. Megan’s story is a powerful reminder that success doesn’t have to come at the cost of your values, it can (and should) align with them.

In our conversation, we explored:
🔹 How to build a business that supports your life, not the other way around
🔹 The art of knowing when to advocate (and when to accept) for our kids
🔹 The ways we’re preparing our children today for the challenges of tomorrow
🔹 What working motherhood is teaching the next generation about ambition, resilience, and balance

Megan’s wisdom is both practical and inspiring, perfect for anyone navigating work, parenting, or the pursuit of balance in a busy world.

What’s one way you’ve shaped your career (or business) to better align with your life?

Referrals built my career.
Networking grew my business.
Relationships shaped every opportunity I’ve had.

Your network has the power to create opportunities and your skills will be what seals the deal.

That’s exactly what I’m diving into on this week’s Rise and Shine podcast episode.

How to build and leverage your network for career growth, leadership opportunities, and even business success.

👉 I’d love to hear from you, what’s one opportunity YOU got because of your network?

What if the secret to less stress and more productivity is already buzzing around us?

In this episode, I’m joined by the brilliant father-daughter duo, and@jonesloflin , to talk about their new book, Focused as a Bee. Together, we explore 6 powerful “permissions” we can learn from bees—yes, bees!—to help us work smarter, live with intention, and ditch the overwhelm.

This isn’t your typical productivity talk. It’s practical, refreshing, and filled with insights that might just change the way you approach your day (and your to-do list).

🎧 Tune in to hear:
✔ How bees manage their roles with clarity and purpose
✔ Why giving yourself permission is the productivity hack we all need
✔ Real-life ways to stop doing more—and start doing what matters

Trust me, this conversation will have you thinking differently about how you work and why you work.
