Today I’m sharing the 10x mindset shift that changed how I think about growing my business as a busy mom with a nine-to-five. For so long, I thought growth meant I had to find time and squeeze more into my already full schedule. Then I had this ah-ha moment: "What if the question you’re asking yourself is the very thing limiting your business growth?" Inside the episode we will be talking about th...

Grant Cardone recently said: The biggest sale you’ll ever make as a business owner is yourself and I haven’t been able to stop thinking about it since.

A friend on Threads asked me, "What is the biggest key to growing your podcast downloads?" In this episode, I’m sharing the four things I would focus on if I were starting from scratch today.

Hi! I was on a call with a client this week and we were mapping out what many coin an ideal client or dream client. When we got to listing their pain points, she said something that caught my attention: She said naming pain points is easy. Using them in my marketing is what scares me. "What if I attract people who have a victim mindset?" "What if I bring in clients who won’t take action or won’t g...

I spent a long time thinking being multi-passionate and having a clear niche were two things that couldn’t exist at the same time. I was wrong. In this episode I’m sharing my honest answer to one of the most common ques...

Hi! LOL I need to come clean about something. I literally broke up with Instagram earlier this year. I told anyone and everything that would listen, "Instagram is my side chick now."  And I meant it, that's still true.  But recently I started playing with a completely new faceless account that nobody knew about. Not my friends, family, or even my husband. Until now... And what happened completely...

Hi! Coming in whispering before Anaya wakes up. Yesterday, I was in a chat with a client. She’s been trying so many things in her business and nothing has felt like it’s working. And she asked me, what do you think my next step should be? Then once I offered a suggestion, she said, "I don't think that will work for me." And the truth is, she's not the first or the last person that will feel that w...

Hi! For Natalie's last day, she takes the mic and gives a full transmission. She challenges us to move beyond “what to say” and into consideration of how we're actually saying it.  Remember, Natalie is a voice mentor and not a business coach. However, a lot of what she speaks about can serve you as a business owner. She shares her perspective on voice as more than just communication by talking abo...

Hi! I’m back with Natalie Farrell and we’re going deeper into something I think so many business owners desire but don’t always know how to act on... the desire to speak on stages, share your story, and actually be seen for your voice.

Hi! Did you know 6 months ago I was leading my entire business with creative metaphors like “messaging that fits like lingerie” and “boudoir for your brand?” My podcast was titled "Thirst." And I genuinely thought I was standing out (and I was). However, when I shifted my marketing to begin with clear language, my business grew FAST.  In this episode we’re talking about why so many coaches and ser...

Hi! Today I want to tell you about a woman named Maria. A toddler mom and serial entrepreneur. She launched her podcast in 48 hours with me and then life happened and she kind of just… left it there. Months later she checked in out of curiosity. Top 10% global show. With one episode and a trailer. And if you’ve been telling yourself you just need more time, more consistency, more followers before...

In this episode I’m walking you through my three non...

Happy Monday! Last week I had a conversation with a mom entrepreneur who told me, “I’ve done everything.” And she wasn’t kidding. TikTok. A website. Business cards.  But still no new clients in a year. In this episode I’m breaking down what was actually missing in her business and why doing more wasn’t the answer. We talk about the simple shift that takes you from feeling salesy, pushy, or needy…...

Hi! I was scrolling Facebook this morning and I came across a post that I could not stop thinking about. A woman with a top 2% global podcast and over 100,000 lifetime downloads. She has been consistent since 2023. And instead of celebrating, she’s frustrated because her coaching business still isn’t generating clients. And I get it. Because downloads and clients are not the same thing. If you hav...

Hi! Let's cut to the points. I do not do sales calls, or clarity calls, discovery calls, quick coffee chats, or whatever tf you want to call them… not as a buyer and definitely not as a seller. If you’re a parent trying to build a business in the in-between moments of life, you're in the middle of a nap window that could end any minute, and zero desire to coordinate schedules just to have a conver...

Hi! If you have a podcast and the only people finding it are the ones you personally invited there… This one is for you. Let me be the first to say that there is a vast difference between marketing your podcast and your podcast marketing you.
