Mindset Mastery with Julissa Edwards

In this episode of Mindset Mastery, Julissa sits down with entrepreneur Jennifer Connolly to talk about building a business that actually supports the life you want. She's the owner of Sidekick Services, a transaction coordination business she launched in 2016 to help real estate agents streamline their systems and close with confidence.  Over the years, Jennifer has learned that building a business isn’t just about efficiency, it’s about balance, boundaries, and self-belief. Through her own journey from burnout to intentional growth, she has become passionate about helping others in real estate work smarter, not harder, and build businesses that support their lives, not consume them. Talked about in this episode: Jennifer’s transition from real estate to business owner Creating Sidekick Services to support real estate agents The early stages of entrepreneurship and learning as you go Burnout from trying to do everything for clients Moving from reactive work to intentional systems Different definitions of success in entrepreneurship Designing a business that aligns with family and lifestyle priorities Connect with Jennifer on Instagram Jennifer's Website --- Interested in the Mindset Mastery Method?

In this powerful conversation, Julissa sits down with corporate and confidence coach Anny Martinez to talk about what it really takes for women to rise in corporate spaces. Anny shares her 20-year journey navigating corporate America, the loneliness of being the only one in the room who looks like you, and the pressure to code-switch or shrink to fit in. Together, they unpack the cultural conditioning that teaches women to “just be grateful” instead of asking for more, and how that shows up in salary negotiations, promotions, and visibility at work. Talked about in this episode: Code-switching and loneliness in leadership spaces Cultural conditioning around obedience & “not asking for more” Self-doubt and fear of speaking up Practical steps for negotiating raises Job-hopping strategically to increase salary Networking in a remote-work world Balancing corporate leadership, entrepreneurship & family Connect with Anny on Instagram Anny's Website ---- Interested in the Mindset Mastery Method?

In this episode, Julissa sits down with fertility awareness educator Emma Goff to unpack what body literacy actually means in real life. Emma explains how fertility awareness goes far beyond “tracking your period” and into understanding your body’s biomarkers, ovulation patterns, cervical changes, and reproductive health in a way most women were never taught. Alongside fertility education, Emma shares her own life pivot — shifting away from running an in-home daycare full-time to protect her mental health and create more spaciousness for her family. The episode beautifully ties autonomy, decision-making, and body awareness together. Talked about in this episode: What fertility awareness actually means Biomarkers and understanding ovulation Body literacy and why it matters Tracking cycles manually vs. digitally Cervix position changes during a cycle Post-birth anatomical changes Pelvic floor physical therapy Mental health and seasonal career pivots Choosing yourself without guilt Emma's Website Connect with Emma on Instagram --- Interested in the Mindset Mastery Method?

In this heartfelt episode of Mindset Mastery, Julissa sits down with licensed massage therapist and former firefighter/EMT Kristin Carestio to explore what it really means to pivot toward alignment. After a 13-year career in emergency services, Kristin found herself navigating burnout, chronic migraines, motherhood without a village, and deep personal grief after losing her sister. While serving others had always been her calling, the intensity of EMS began colliding with her home life. Kristin shares how massage therapy became not just a new career path, but a way to create healing, balance, and peace for herself and others. She opens up about building a business while “fumbling through,” navigating family transitions as her husband shifts roles in his own firefighting career, and the ongoing work of maintaining self-care during seasons of change. This episode is a beautiful reminder that alignment doesn’t mean life becomes perfect. It means choosing the hard that honors your why. Talked about in this episode: Transitioning from firefighter/EMT to massage therapist Burnout in first-responder careers Chronic migraines and stress-related health impact Navigating motherhood without a support system Creating a peaceful home environment Building a small business from scratch Self-care during seasons of adjustment Finding your “why” as your driving force Kristin's Website Connect with Kristin on Instagram --- Interested in the Mindset Mastery Method?
