S1 Ep 288(AWKWARD TIME INTERVIEW) How you should be marketing in 2023 and using ads to free up time with Ashleigh Chanel

My interview this week is with a MASTER marketer, aka "the marketing genie" Ashleigh Chanel, someone I have admired for quite some time now. Ashleigh is here as she says to "GET YOU TO THE MONAY" and is such a breath of fresh air. In this interview we dive into Facebook ads, but NOT in the over complicated "I need to know a ton of tech to understand" way. We cover: *WHY you should get started with ads. *Common mistakes people make when they first start with ads and… How you should be marketing in 2023. No matter your stage in business, I PROMISE this episode will be well worth the listen, especially if you're wanting to decrease the time it takes for a new follower to say YES to working with you.

S1 Ep 287(HEART TO HEART) 20 Week Anatomy Scan + Unexpected $10K + Settling into New Apartment

This past week my husband and I had our 20 week anatomy scan, which means I am halfway through my pregnancy! In this episode I share a recap of the experience, because it was pretty wild and SO incredible. I also share how I had quite a few unexpected and unplanned sales come through this week with VERY little "promo" (I'm talking one story slide little) and WHY I think that happened. As usual, these heart to hearts are a hodgepodge of what's going on in my life in real time so you can get an accurate BTS of what it's like remodeling a seven figure company while being pregnant with twins!

S1 Ep 286(STRATEGY WITH MEG) The Private Invite Process That Made Me $100K Entirely BTS

This past week a few of my mastermind and private clients have been implementing my private invite process and it's been working like a charm. I had one private client fill three of eight spots for her high ticket retreat within 48 hours of utilizing it. I also had a mastermind client fill three (of ten) spots for a new mini mind she's running. In this episode I break down the different sections of the private invite template I use with them so you can take what feels good and leave what doesn't to start your private invite process and fill some of your programs BTS before open cart.

S1 Ep 285(HEART TO HEART) Offer Revamp Timeline & Almost 20 Weeks Pregnant feels

In this heart to heart I'm sharing an update on my offer revamp timeline so far: what I've gotten done and what lies ahead for the next few weeks. I'm also sharing this weird sensation I've been feeling the last week or so since being pregnant, and curious if anyone else has felt this as well. As always, these are my favorite episodes and I appreciate you listening and taking the time to share with a biz bestie.

S1 Ep 284(STRATEGY WITH MEG) What It Takes to Build a Successful Business: $3Mil in Revenue Reflections on The Last Five Years

Anytime I'm in a season of change, I like to reflect, audit and analyze what has gone well in past biz remodels and/or what has gotten me to where I'm at. Of course to experience different results you sometimes need to execute different strategies and more importantly, THINK differently. BUT…success also leaves clues and there are a few themes I've noticed in my business growth seasons that I wanted to share with you. The three themes I'm diving deeper into in this down and dirty episode (my version of "short" lol) are… 1. Unshakeable belief in my offer/service/skillset 2. Offer wise; having the value outweigh the cost every single time (even for my $20K+ packages) 3. Having a unique coaching method (Or unique value proposition) so I'm in competition with only myself Enjoy and as usual thank you in advance for sharing with a biz bestie!!

S1 Ep 283(HEART TO HEART) The Slingshot Effect: And Why It's SO Essential for SUSTAINABLE Business Growth

I'm POSITIVE you've heard the phrase, "pull back to spring forward", aka the slingshot effect. If you visualize a slingshot, it makes complete sense. For the ball/marble/whatever you put inside the slingshot to whip forward and go far…you need to pull it back with enough strength. That PULLBACK season is what SO many entrepreneurs resist, especially if they've experienced a lot of financial success and are KNOWN for that financial success. It's like they're scared to not have big numbers plastered all over their IG for a few months, even if they logically know it means BIGGER numbers down the line. Our egos definitely play a big part, as well as our perceived status. But my friend, there is something SO stinkin powerful about working BTS (and possibly sharing that work front facing), while you perfect your product, systems and overall messaging to come back even stronger. In this episode we're talking about WHY this is so essential and why entrepreneurs who DON'T do this are at risk of burning out…and fast. I'm currently in my "pull back" season of the slingshot and sharing it ALL with you over on my Instagram through a special Subscription called #TWINNING OFFER REVAMP.

Today's podcast episode is finally revealing the main changes I'm making to my business to accommodate TWO babies coming into my life very soon. In this episode I break down the three main changes we're making as well as the tentative order in which we're making them. I've decided to really pull back the curtain as we implement all of this and take you along for the ride; inception style.

S1 Ep 281(HEART TO HEART) Simplifying, The Power of In Person & Making My Dad Proud

I recorded this Heart to Heart for you fresh off of a 2-day in person client retreat, so basically it's inspo on SPEED. In today's episode we talk about the power of simplifying and making what is already good, even better to increase your profits and see more success in your business. I also talk about the power of in person, and surrounding yourself with "abundance", whatever that means to you; showing you what's possible and totally within your reach. I end it with a personal life reflection that I had the morning of recording, realizing how proud my Dad would have been of me (and I know still is) and a little pregnancy update to cap it off.

S1 Ep 280(AWKWARD TIME INTERVIEW) The Road to Multiple Six Figures with Shay Gottsacker: Best Launch During Summer Breakdown

Today's awkward time interview is super special, not only because it's a message I think EVERYONE needs to hear right now (during the sometimes slower season in summer), but with someone I've had the pleasure of working closely with over the last seven months. Shay Gottsacker is a fat loss coach who's been building her brand and business since 2018. In this episode we talk about the beginning years in her business; the seemingly "slow years" that built such a strong foundation for her now multiple six figure business. We talk about how in the beginning stages it felt like pulling teeth to get people to pay attention to her content. Whereas today, having built an established brand and super engaged audience of 24,000, she most recently had her best launch yet…bringing in almost 80 clients into her signature group program. Shay has created a multiple six figure program that allows her to serve more people at the level she wants, while still having ample time for her awesome hubby and future family. This is one of the most "realistic" interviews I've ever had, and one I really encourage you to bookmark when times get tough. This industry likes to paint a picture of overnight successes and run a rhetoric of six figures in six months. But Shay's story? Is real. And 100% possible for you too. Enjoy this episode, and as always thank you so much for sharing it with a fellow biz bestie you KNOW needs a "pick me up."

S1 Ep 279(HEART TO HEART) There are way less qualified people putting themselves out there; it's your turn

This Heart to Heart was recorded immediately after I got off of an INCREDIBLE interview with Beverly Simpson. Our conversation inspired me so much that I wanted to share a lot of what we talked about in this episode, as a "light tough love" episode. Because honestly? I see SO MANY amazing coaches and strategists NOT putting themselves out there fully because of some imaginary or "arbitrary" metric they think they have to hit to go for it. And quite frankly? It's BS. There are far less talented people out there, far less QUALIFIED people out there confidently posting online, making tons of money, and growing their business at a quicker rate than you are. And I don't want you to hold back anymore. Because YOU are too good, and your future clients deserve to have that goodness NOW, not "when you hit XYZ metric." I know this will be one you'll want to bookmark. I love you. You're welcome. Let's freakin go.

S1 Ep 278(STRATEGY WITH MEG) Masterminds vs Group Programs: What's the Difference and Which Do I Need?

I've been in the coaching industry for eleven years, so I'm basically a grandma at this point. I've seen SO many things come and go and I've seen terms used interchangeably, when I really don't think they should be. The terms "mastermind" and "group program" being two in particular. In my opinion, I find a group coaching program and a mastermind to be two very different types of offers, hence why I run my own personal group program and mastermind, well… Completely DIFFERENT. In this episode I'm diving into 1) the main differences between the two offers and 2) how to know which you need at this point in time.

S1 Ep 277(HEART TO HEART): Letting Go of Control, Setting Boundaries, & Playing with Time

Today's heart to heart is in true Meg fashion: a hodgepodge of my thoughts and feelings from the past week. I touch on how hard it has been for me to let go of control, especially when it comes to the creative aspects of my business, and how working with a marketing agency is forcing me to do so. I also dive into my recently slight obsession with scrolling on social media and re-checking my metrics, and how just setting some boundaries this week has increased my happiness level and decreased my stress. And we close it up with this juxtaposition feeling I've been having about pregnancy; wanting it to speed up so I can meet my boys but also wanting to freeze time to spend as much time alone with Mike and Luna before our lives completely change. As usual, thank you thank you thank you for sharing this episode and being part of The #PrettyAwkward fam. I don't take it for granted for one second, and am eternally grateful to you for listening.

S1 Ep 276(STRATEGY WITH MEG) When Is It Time for a Biz Remodel? My APEC Framework to help you pivot powerfully

Last week I polled my Instagram and asked, "are you in a season of change in your business?" and 96% said either "changing SO much" or "changing a little." I'm honestly not surprised with those results, because this time of year (halfway through) is when a lot of people evaluate the first 6 months and see if they're on track to reach their 2023 goals or even see if those goals are in alignment anymore. In this episode not only do I break down my APEC framework (a process to audit your business to see what's keeping you stuck, what's working, where you have potential to grow & what you need to remodel in your biz to get there) but I also share a sometimes ugly truths most entrepreneurs need to deal with when faced with this need to change. It involves our lovely EGO (oh so fun). Strap in my friend, because this is a juicy episode and one worth listening to TWICE.

S1 Ep 275(HEART TO HEART) My latest $57,500 business investment after finding out I was having twins.

I believe in SEASONS when it comes to your business. In real life? Honestly, I could forgo winter now that I'm moving back to New York full time, but #Idigress Seasons of rest Seasons of "hustle" (or replace with a word that represents you being focused and busier than usual) Seasons of the need for coaching, mentorship, masterminds Seasons of learning (investing in courses, VIP days, plans of action) Seasons of DFY (getting shit done FOR you). And after a long discussion with my husband we decided I am in the season of DFY AND mentorship. And even though my initial reaction to twins was, "this is gonna be expensive", my next reaction was "OKAY! Time to get help to remodel this biz and support these twins like we never imagined possible." In this episode I'm breaking down both investments and why this was the right season for us to make them. I hope it helps you evaluate what type of help YOU need next, whether that's in mentorship, a program or your team.

S1 Ep 274(STRATEGY WITH MEG) How I Took An Unplanned Four Weeks Off Of My Business Without My Clients Skipping A Beat

It's one thing to prep your clients, audience, and team for a planned vacation. It's another when life completely comes at you and you're FORCED to take time off. Well that's exactly what happened to me at the end of May when my father passed. Within 24 hours I made the decision to take a month off of serving clients, posting on social and my podcast/email list. So how did I quickly tell my audience? How did I prep my clients to be okay during this time? What was their progress like while I was gone? HINT: It was AMAZING. Like best launches yet amazing. In this episode I dive into how my live programs are set up to not only survive without me, but THRIVE without me. I hope this encourages you to take a look at your business model and see what small tweaks you could make to prepare for unexpected life happenings or heck, maybe you just need a week off and don't want to "prepare" for it.

S1 Ep 273(HEART TO HEART) SURPRISE…We're Pregnant (with TWINS)!

After my father passed, I honestly forgot I was pregnant. (Obviously not for long, but it was just so clouded by immense grief). Then my husband and I went to our first sonogram (10 days after he passed) and found out… WE'RE HAVING TWINS. Talk about a P-I-V-O-T. Our life got completely turned upside down for the second time in one month, but this time in the most beautiful way possible. If you're not familiar with our story, my husband and I have had quite the journey to get to this point; separating in 2020 for 6 months on the brink of divorce to having a marriage that gets stronger every single day, EVEN WHEN while experiencing such huge loss including, losing his dad, my dad and having a miscarriage last year. It's hard for me to put into words how I truly feel, so in true Meg fashion I recorded this Heart to Heart podcast episode for you, my first in over a month. It's raw, vulnerable and if you've experienced loss, please proceed with caution. And you better bet I'll be using these Heart to Heart's to give you the in real time updates, especially in how we're changing up the structure of my biz to accommodate not one, but TWO babies coming to us in Jan of 2024 (most likely December cuz twins like to come early). To quote my friend in response to all we've been through to find this out: "This is showing us all to keep believing. There's light, there's hope even in the darkest times." Thank you for listening.

S1 Ep 272(AWKWARD TIME INTERVIEW) How to Go Deeper With Your Messaging To Create a Lasting Brand & Business with Isabella Sanchez

When it comes to selling your offers consistently on social media, there is NOTHING more important than having the right messaging. You could have the best launch strategy, vehicle, funnel, etc in the world, but if the messaging that is INSIDE of it isn't ACTIVATING your ideal client, it's not going to result in what you're wanting = more sales. It's like having the crust of a pie without the ooey gooey goodness inside…kinda pointless, lackluster and dry. Well my #prettyawkward friend, you're in for a treat, because today's awkward time interview is with messaging expert, Isabella Sanchez, who does NOT hold back in sharing her framework for creating deeper messaging no matter where you're starting in business. Isabella is one of my favorite humans in the world and we worked together on and off for over three years, so not only will you learn a lot in this episode, but I have a feeling you'll just enjoy the tone of it and feel like you're listening in on a conversation between two old friends.

S1 Ep 271Life Update: My dad's sudden passing, the last four weeks, and how my time off could help you

If you haven't been in my world over the last month, you might not know that my father, John Yelaney, passed away unexpectedly on May 26th. My entire world was flipped upside down when this happened and I made the decision to take off work for four weeks; both client facing work as well as emails, podcasting and social content. This episode is a very honest and possibly at points TMI episode of what life has been like for me over the last four weeks. I wanted to be as real as possible with you and not sugarcoat what's been going on in my world. I share why and how I took the last four weeks of work off, and why I decided to still go ahead with a retreat I had planned during this time. I also share what to expect from me in the coming weeks. Thank you for being the type of community that not only showered me with love during the hardest moment in my life, but who I also feel so comfortable being my complete self with. What I'll be sharing over the next few weeks isn't easy and it'll be incredibly vulnerable, but I know that's what you've learned to love about my brand and NEED right now. I'm committed to taking my hardships and lessons and paying them forward in hopes it helps someone else. And let me just say, there are a few other surprises coming that I've been incredibly excited to share, so trust me…you'll want to stay tuned to this podcast, my email and social media over the next few weeks.

S1 Ep 269(AWKWARD TIME INTERVIEW): Pivoting Your Business After Becoming a Mom with Taylor Slango

You're in for a TREAT my #prettyawkward friend, because today's interview is a no holding back truth bomb typa episode. Taylor Slango is an INCREDIBLE business and embodiment coach for spiritual entrepreneurs and someone I've "grown up with" in this coaching industry. In my opinion she's one of the GOAT'S and has stayed the course of all the changes, ups & downs, and MAJOR life shifts she's experienced. She is SO adaptable and knows how to adjust and pivot when appropriate (both because of social media changes and because of LIFE changes). And in this episode she is truly peeling back the curtain on how different business felt post motherhood; something she didn't fully anticipate. Get ready…this is about to blow your mind.

S1 Ep 268(HEART TO HEART) What You DIDN'T See Behind the Launch: Life was LIFE-ING

In this heart to heart I'm sharing what was happening BTS in my latest launch that I didn't share publicly with social media. Life was LIFE-ING, lemme tell ya, and in this episode I share what was going on, but more importantly how I managed to handle it and still show up for the launch. Unfortunately life doesn't decide to "take it easy" during launches (that would be AMAZING, right?!) and just go easy on us during those busy seasons. So how do you manage it all? How much is too much to share? Should you share at all? We discuss it all in this episode.

S1 Ep 267(STRATEGY WITH MEG) $78K Launch DeBrief: what went well, what we'd change, and what we couldn't control

We are pulling back the curtains in a BIG WAY my friend and taking you step by step through my latest launch. I'm sharing… What went REALLY well (and some new things we tried) What mistakes we made (to change for next time) And what was out of our control This is probably the launch I'm most proud of to date, even though it's not the highest cash launch I've ever had. We (my team and I) showed up so fully and look at what we did with such pride and as corny as it sounds…honor, because I know we knocked it out of the park. I hope you enjoy this episode and take LOTS of notes, because like I said…we're pulling back the curtain and not holding back.

S1 Ep 266(HEART TO HEART) Love Intentionally Couples Retreat Recap: We're "ALL IN"

This past weekend my husband and I had one of the best weekends of our lives and definitely one of the top 3 experiences in our marriage (probably our wedding day being #1). We attended a couples retreat hosted by our fabulous relationship coaches James and Angela, the founders of Love Intentionally. This episode is a breakdown of the retreat, why we went, what we did and what we got out of it. To say we had breakthroughs would be an understatement. We are truly changed, and even though this is veering slightly from my normal content, I hope this inspires you regardless if you're in a relationship or not; to take intentional time to strengthen ANY type of relationship you have. Because man is it worth it.

S1 Ep 265(AWKWARD TIME INTERVIEW) Building a 7 figure company by the age of 24 with Kendall Strampel: the highlight reel & BTS of what it really took to get there

You are in for a real treat with today's guest, because Kendall Strampel is a POWERHOUSE AND…she's 24 years old. This woman has built not one, but TWO incredibly successful businesses and really shares so openly about what it took to get there. She is a 7 figure fitness business consultant, and serial entrepreneur. She founded Fearstofit Fitness coaching and the Wealthy Womens business academy. After scaling a fitness coaching company to 7 figures by age 22, she became obsessed with self mastery and business development. She now helps other visionary women scale with the coaches organic growth method and seamless systems so they can create more flow both in their life and business. At one point Kendall had 100 clients in her fitness coaching business and almost stripped it down to nothing to travel the world and really find herself. The past few years has been a re-building and systematizing journey to the incredibly successful business she has today. If there's one major theme we discuss in this episode it's having a long-term focus when it comes to your business, something she adopted so early on at such a young age. I know this is going to be such an impactful episode for you, and one you'll want to bookmark for the future.

S1 Ep 263(AWKWARD TIME INTERVIEW) Flipping Confidence On It's Head with Jordan Gomez

What do you think of when you hear the word "confidence." If you're like 99% of the world you probably first think "chest up and out, maybe a little louder or that quiet confidence people can have, and definitely sure of themselves." But I have a feeling today's conversation with Jordan Gomez is going to flip that on it's head for you. Jordan aka "J.Go" is a Life Coach, Speaker, and the host of the Confidently Uncomfortable Podcast. She helps empower women to create healthy habits, long-term lifestyle change and feel confident in their skin. And this interview is honestly? Just such a breath of fresh air. Being a successful entrepreneur REQUIRES confidence, but not in that initial way I described above. It's showing up as you, even when you feel like you're not at your best. And I have no doubt that this episode will give you that confidence boost you need to go after that next goal, show up more fully as yourself on social media or say "no" to something that's not serving you.

S1 Ep 262My Mentorship Journey: All of The Investments I've Made: The Good, The Bad, The Ugly

In today's episode I'm peeling back the curtain and taking you behind the scenes over the last 5+ years of my business investments. When did I first invest in my business and what was it? What were my best investments? What were my worst investments? What coaching styles did I love? What did I NOT love? I'm going to be VERY honest in this episode and shoot it to you straight (as per usual). One of the things I'll stress most is how I see a lot of people either 1) wait to invest when they really needed help sooner and could've had such faster growth or 2) see people invest at too high a level too quickly, thinking it'll catapult them, when it really just stresses them. It's a juicy one, so get out your tea and get ready to spill a little ;) ↑LOL, that's me trying to be cool. Reminder that we close Smart Online Success Accelerator on Tuesday, April 25th and the $500 discount disappears.

S1 Ep 261(SOSA STUDENT CASE STUDY): From almost not joining to locking in a $5K deal with Chrysa

Chrysa is an INCREDIBLE career coach helping professionals get career satisfaction, clarity or completely pivot their career. And #funfact , she originally said "no" to joining SOSA. A few days later she realized this was exactly what she needed. Now? She's a full time career coach, facilitating packed to the brim in person workshops, and just landed her first $5K deal. But more than that, like she says in this interview, she's most proud of all the personal growth she's achieved, especially how quickly she can tap into her creativity and think outside the box to solve problems. Like the time she went from having VERY few people enrolled for a workshop to reaching her goal of 50 in less than one week. She goes on to say "It (SOSA) really was the best investment, the best gift I could buy for myself, for my business. And it truly feels like a family." If you're hesitating because of the investment or any other reason, shoot me a DM. Chrysa felt this too and she can tell you firsthand, I will never pressure you into joining. I'll just help you see what's possible when you bet on yourself, take the leap and get out of your comfort zone by joining Smart Online Success Accelerator. I can't wait to see your results and maybe have YOU be featured on the podcast just like Chrysa was today. Link to join or book a call below.

S1 Ep 260(SOSA STUDENT CASE STUDY): Pivoting to a new industry: how taking on a beginner mindset helped her bring in $7K in sales in 2 weeks with Sami

It's not easy to ask for help, especially when you feel like you're 'starting over.' But that's exactly what Sami, our SOSA student feature of the day, did when she joined us last year. Sami pivoted from digital nomad coaching to relationship coaching and was struggling to really find her flow with content and sign clients in this new niche. She plugged into the SOSA support system, specifically diving into the TikTok lesson and launch mini course. Her TikTok blew up to almost 10K followers and her most recent launch brought in $7K in sales in two weeks. But she WAS hesitant to join because she had been a part of a group program before, and felt like "a number" or "one of many." This episode highlights how different her experience in SOSA was from that last group program. Listen, digest, and consider what could be possible for you if you TOO ask for the help you need and take on a beginner mindset. Like Sami says, we care so deeply about each one of our students and when you invest in us…we invest in you. Link to join Smart Online Success Accelerator is below.

S1 Ep 259(SOSA STUDENT CASE STUDY): From almost quitting her business to having a full roster of the most dreamy clients with Angela

Meet Angela, a macro nutrition coach and emotional eating specialist. Angela's journey has not been an easy one to say the least. She joined Smart Online Success Accelerator shortly after losing her father, and was questioning if she even wanted to continue on with her business. Everything seemed stacked against her and she was in a really tough spot. After digging into the curriculum, getting live coaching and doing the work on herself, she slowly started to come out of this dark place and before you knew it, the momentum picked up and man… She's been unstoppable ever since, dropping win after win after win inside our Slack channel. "I just had a weekend I've never had before, which was really cool. I had so many people reaching out to me, like, every hour. I had people texting me reaching out to me. And I signed three clients in the span of like, eight hours." This is possible for you too. If Angela's story resonates with you and you're ready to join SOSA 2.0, be sure to click the link below!

S1 Ep 258(SOSA STUDENT CASE STUDY): From 0-$12K launch & booking out her 1-1 coaching with Rebecca

I get a lot of questions about how my clients have been able to create a full time income from their online business. I break down the entire approach inside of Smart Online Success Accelerator…and this interview with Rebecca also highlights our process beautifully. Rebecca is a career coach and one of our amazing past students who not only hit consistent $5K months… But went on to have a $12K group program launch AND hit her highest income month yet at $20K. My friend…these results can be yours once you're inside of the SOSA. The only caveat? If you want to actually ACHIEVE these results, you HAVE to be willing to put in the upfront time and effort. This is something Rebecca states in her full interview. "Once you get in, you need to take action and utilize the support that is there, because there IS SO MUCH. Make sure you're making use of it so that you can actually see the results, because only YOUR actions will get you the results you're looking for." By following each phase of this program and applying what you learn, you WILL see exponential results. But these wins only belong to entrepreneurs ready to get out of their comfort zone. It won't happen overnight, but it will absolutely be worth it. Are you ready? Link below to join!

Today's episode was inspired from a bonus zoom training I did with the people on my SOSA 2.0 Waitlist. They asked such great questions and a recurring one was.. "When is it time to launch a group program?" A lot of them were coming up against consistent price objections or working with a clientele that truly would do better in a group atmosphere because of the nature of the coaching. And even though 90% of the time I recommend beginners start with 1-1 coaching as their main offer, in this podcast we break down when it's appropriate to deviate from that "rule of thumb."

S1 Ep 252(HEART TO HEART) How to Show Up For Your Online Business When Life is LIFE-ING: Three Specific Actions to Take

I've been on a Podcast tour lately and a big topic I've been discussing is how to show up on social media and for your business in general when your personal life is HAP-PEN-ING! AKA: sh*t is hitting the fan. I feel like I've become a pro at this over the last few years between a separation AND reunion with my husband, losing my father-in-law to prostate cancer, getting pregnant and having a miscarriage, and having my dad's health be up and down and him in and out of the hospital for the last two months. It's been…A LOT. Yet my business has still managed to serve people and my content output hasn't taken a hit. And it's not because I'm a workaholic ignoring my family and personal priorities; but quite the opposite. There are three specific reasons I've been able to still show up even when all of these life events have happened and in today's episode we break them down in detail. Prepping ahead Repurposing Letting your audience know before you disappear I know this episode will help you at some point along your journey, because life WILL "happen" while you're building your biz (if it hasn't already). Thank you in advance for sharing this one, because it truly was extra special to record and I want this message out in the world more than anything.

S1 Ep 250(HEART TO HEART) The Slippery Slope Of Attaching Your Worth to How Much Money You Make

I LOVE MONEY. Let me start by saying that. I love what money can do when in the hands of good people. I love the experiences and life money has afforded me and my clients. I love the impact I've been able to make with money. But what I didn't love along this business journey? Was how attached my worth as a human became SO TIED to how much money I made, not to mention my daily mood swings. Good income month? Happy as a clam. Lower income month? It's the end of the world. Over the last two years I've done a lot of work re-wiring these habits and I can say with complete confidence I've come out on the other side. The funny part? My MONEY goals are actually way WAY bigger today than they were a few years ago. But I no longer look at the achievement of my goals in a specified time period as an indicator of my worthiness. I no longer base my moods on money. And my friend, it's the most freeing feeling in the world. I'm happy. I love my life. And money gets to be a beautiful part of it, enhancing experiences and giving my family and I choices. And I'll never take that for granted for one minute. I promise if you ever work in ANY of my programs to always help you build a business in a way that helps you have a healthy relationship with money; one that expands you and doesn't stress you. I hope this impacts you as much as it honestly impacted me to record it.

S1 Ep 248(HEART TO HEART) Can You Be a Successful CEO AND A Successful Mom: The Work/Life Balance Fallacy

What else is new, I'm getting vulnerable in today's heart to heart and sharing a fear that's come up for me in the past few weeks as I've been working through a program called To Be Magnetic. This program is all about rewiring subconscious beliefs to manifest what you desire, and I went into this honestly thinking it would be a breeze and I wouldn't have much to work through, because honestly? I truly believe I can create the life I desire, because I already have in so many ways. But when I went to do the work this fear of "can I truly be the successful CEO I want to be AND the mom I want to be all at the same time?" thought kept coming up as my husband and I are back in the trying to conceive journey. I have NO DOUBT this one will resonate with my mom entrepreneurs or any entrepreneurs who want to eventually be a mom one day, but even if you don't fall in this camp, I think it'll bring up the power of our minds and how working on ourselves truly IS THE KEY to growing our business. Thank you again for being such an amazing listener, one that I feel comfortable enough sharing my thoughts with even when they feel embarrassing or ridiculous.

And we thought why not bring my husband on so we can really dive in and share our personal experience with forgoing pleasure when business was a distraction and escape in our marriage and how prioritizing pleasure now lets us show up more fully & in such a vibrant way in our businesses. We are sharing things we have NEVER shared on the podcast before (hello sex life?!) because I felt so comfortable having Hannah there to hold the space. She talks about how women, specifically entrepreneurs, can learn to… Receive more (both in the bedroom and in business) Balance their yin and yang (also referred to as masculine and feminine) to thrive in both business and their intimacy Create self pleasure rituals to connect with their intuition + truly increase the amount of creative downloads they have (that lead to their most profitable ideas) This is one for the books. Thanks in advance for being the type of community I feel comfortable sharing this out of my comfort zone topic with. I KNOW someone in my audience needs to hear this message just like I needed to a few years ago. Cheers to more pleasure and profits baby.

S1 Ep 244(HEART TO HEART) Sacrifice in Business, Comparison, & Trying to Conceive

It wouldn't be a heart to heart if it wasn't a hodgepodge of all my thoughts from the previous week now would it?! Today we're diving into what it really means to 'sacrifice' in your business; how it's essential to a point, but where the pendulum might swing a little too far into negatively affecting your health, relationships and so much more. I share something that is still so key to my business growth and was hands down the biggest thing that helped me 5X my income in one year: not comparing myself to others in my industry. ↑How to ACTUALLY stop doing this. And we close it up with a little update on my husband and my trying to conceive journey (and how I'm intentionally crafting my business model to support this).

Another Couples Conversation episode comin in HOT for you! Today we have the fabulous Ruby Lee and Mike Poon, the owners of Flow State Business.

S1 Ep 239(AWKWARD TIME INTERVIEW) Working a Full Time Job You LOVE AND Building Your Business: How To Do Both with Lindsay Dollinger

You are in for a treat with this Awkward Time Interview my friend, because our guest today, Lindsay Dollinger has a different story from most of our past interviewees. She is still working her full time job as a High School Spanish teacher while simultaneously having a full blown business coaching business. Why? Because she loves what she does with her students. She didn't set out to replace her income when she started her business, but truly built it from a passion to help others using the expertise she had built up from her experiences in network marketing. We talk a lot about the fear of judgment from friends and family when starting your business, how that held Lindsay back in the beginning, AND how she overcame it. This episode is a breath of fresh air and shows what's truly possible when you operate from service and do something you're passionate about (oh, and have really great time management skills LOL). Enjoy and as always, thanks in advance for sharing with an entrepreneur friend (especially if they're in the beginning stages!). Follow Lindsay on Social Media Lindsay Dollinger is a women's business coach, podcast host of the Purpose and Pixie Dust podcast, high school Spanish teacher, rescue dog mama, and Disney lover!
