The Goal Digger Podcast | Top Business and Marketing Podcast for Creatives, Entrepreneurs, and Women in Business

Imagine this: a copywriter who knows your voice, a strategist who doesn’t need a Zoom link, a therapist who won’t side-eye your fourth cup of coffee, and a hype girl who’s ready 24/7. That’s what ChatGPT has been for me. And I get it… maybe “AI” makes your eyes glaze over or your gut clench. But this episode? It’s different. It’s not about tech for tech’s sake. It’s about prompts that gave me peac...

If you’ve been telling yourself it’s too late to start a podcast or the space is too crowded, I’m here to lovingly call you out. The podcasting industry is thriving: audiences are growing, and it remains one of the few platforms where you have someone’s undivided attention. There’s still so much room for fresh, specific, binge-worthy shows! But here’s the twist: while podcasting is booming, “wingi...

When I shared a carousel on Instagram titled “10 ‘Normal’ Things I Didn’t Know Were ADHD,” I had no idea it would resonate so deeply. Thousands of women flooded the comments with messages like, “I’ve never felt so seen,” and “Are you living in my brain?” and honestly, I felt the same way. That post didn’t come from research or theory; it was my lived experience. In this episode, I’m pulling back t...

You know those moments in business where things suddenly feel a little too quiet? Maybe the inquiries slow down, sales dip, or your calendar just isn’t as packed as usual. It can feel unsettling, especially when you’re not sure why it’s happening or how long it’s going to last.  The truth is, EVERY entrepreneur hits those slower seasons. In my business, summer tends to be our slow season. Dependin...

You know that weird, stuck feeling where everything in your life technically looks fine, but deep down, it just isn’t?

But you’re still thinking, “Is this it?” If any of that sounds familiar, you are not alone. And today’s guests? They’re here to hand...

This summer, I am not focused on launching something new. I am focused on building something essential: playbooks. Clear, step-by-step documentation that makes our business run smoother, with or without me. Dan Martell’s book Buy Back Your Time reminded me that real freedom comes from documented systems, not just delegation. And my friend Stacy Tuschl challenged us to not just build playbooks, but...

Imagine this: one single book that acts like a 24/7 lead magnet, builds trust with your audience before they even meet you, and quietly funnels dream clients and customers into your world… all while you’re off living your life. Yep, that’s the magic of what we’re talking about today: how a book isn’t just a passion project, it can be your smartest business asset. Learn How To Launch Your Book to B...

What happens when Instagram expert Brock Johnson grills me about my favorite platform? A rapid-fire strategy session that turned into a full-blown Pinterest masterclass.

In this conversation, we flipped roles: he asked the questions, I dished out the tactics, and t...

If we could sit down together for a cup of coffee or a walk around the block, these are the exact questions I know you’d be asking: How do I grow an email list without a huge following? How do I launch something big, like a book, while navigating motherhood or a major life pivot? How do I turn my business into a rinse-and-repeat machine instead of reinventing the wheel every week? …Oh, and can we...

In a world that celebrates big milestones, loud announcements, and curated perfection, it’s easy to forget that some of the most meaningful wins don’t make it to the feed.  They happen behind closed doors. They don’t come with applause. They aren’t always photogenic… but they are real. And they are enough. Today’s episode is a deeply personal one. I’m pulling back the curtain on how my definition...

For most of us, creating content is the part that feels natural, but promotion feels more vulnerable. So we do what we’ve always done… we make something new. We stay busy. We stay in motion. But what if the real power isn’t in making more, but in letting what you’ve already made breathe a little longer? What if the magic isn’t in more content, but in more intention behind how it’s shared? Visit ht...
