Balancing Entrepreneurship and Motherhood: The Art of Cold Pitching for Business Growth

Hey friend!

If cold pitching feels awkward, salesy, or just plain scary… you’re not alone. But what if you could pitch yourself with confidence and connection—and actually land the right opportunities?

In this episode, I’m joined by visibility strategist and cold-pitch expert Lana Pummill, a single mom of four who built a thriving business by sending one honest, heartfelt email. She shares how to approach cold pitching with authenticity, strategy, and purpose—without relying on social media or huge audiences.

You’ll hear how Lana went from food bank visits to client waitlists, why her first pitch changed everything, and the simple system she teaches for reaching out to podcasts, collaborators, or dream clients.

• Lana’s powerful story of building her business as a single mom
• A real look at how one email created a full-circle moment
• Why “cold” pitching doesn’t have to feel cold—or spammy
• A simple pitch routine you can implement in under 45 minutes a week
• Encouragement to hit send, even when fear tries to stop you

If you've ever felt invisible in a crowded online space, this episode will show you a better way to get seen—and remind you that visibility isn’t about shouting louder, it’s about connecting deeper. Cold pitching doesn’t have to be scary when it starts from service.

Turning Content into Clients: An Organic Content Blueprint for November

Hey friend!

If there’s one episode to queue up before November hits, it’s this one. You’re showing up—recording episodes, posting reels, sharing carousels—but if that effort isn’t pointing people back to your offer, it’s exhausting. In today’s conversation, I walk you through a simple, faith-led Organic Content Blueprint you can use right away: pick one core offer, map a clear weekly message rhythm (Awareness → Authority → Engagement → Conversion), repurpose one long piece into many, and stick with one obvious next step. It’s funny—once your message has direction, your content starts working for you instead of asking more from you.

This is for the faith-led coach who’s juggling client work, family life, and the holidays creeping up—someone who wants to finish the year strong without living online. If you’re tired of scattered posts and want your podcast to quietly funnel the right people into your world, this will feel like a breath of fresh air.

Now, this is important: November is a bridge month. Instead of overcommitting to endless promos or disappearing because you’re spent, use this blueprint to keep your message steady and aligned. You’ll know exactly what to say each week, how to repurpose it into a blog, 3–5 social posts, and an email, and how to guide your audience with one simple CTA. Less noise. More clarity. Real traction.

I pray this blesses you and helps you show up with focus and faith—trusting God to multiply what you plant.

Overcoming Limiting Beliefs: Shifting from Fear to Faith

Hey friend!

If you’ve ever felt like you were right on the edge of a breakthrough—but the doubts in your head got louder than your faith—this episode is for you.

You know those thoughts: “I’m not consistent enough. I’m not strategic. I don’t have time. I’m not enough.” They’re sneaky, familiar, and often show up right before you step into your next level of growth.

In today’s conversation, I’m sharing how to confront those limiting beliefs through faith, truth, and small steps of obedience. I’ll walk you through three practical shifts to help you stop shrinking back in fear and start showing up in confidence—because the work you’ve been called to do matters.

You’ll hear how fasting and prayer revealed to me just how often fear tries to distract us right before our breakthrough, and how God gently reminded me that He has already equipped us for what’s ahead.

If you’ve been feeling resistance lately, maybe even questioning your consistency or your capacity, this episode will help you realign with truth and remember that God multiplies your time and strengthens your heart when your work aligns with His plan.

I pray this blesses you and encourages you to show up boldly for the people God’s called you to serve.

With grace,

Michele

Intentional Planning for a Peaceful and Productive Final Quarter

Hey friend!

If you’ve ever felt like October sneaks up on you—one minute you’re easing back into your routine after summer, and suddenly everyone’s talking about holiday sales, Q4 goals, and end-of-year launches—this one’s for you.

In today’s episode, I’m walking you through a Dream Week Refresh to help you realign your schedule before the holiday season hits full speed. Because you don’t have to sprint to the finish line or feel like you’re falling behind. You can finish the year with peace, purpose, and a plan that actually fits your life.

We’ll talk about how to:

• Look back at what worked (and what didn’t) in September
• Block out the things that matter most—family time, client work, and rest
• Choose between a full end-of-year sales plan or a simple flash sale
• Set up a content plan that keeps your marketing consistent, even when you’re offline

October is the pivot point for your whole year. What you plan now determines how you finish it. And when you take time to look ahead and steward your schedule well, you make space for both growth and grace.

If you’ve been feeling stretched between client sessions, family commitments, and trying to show up online—this episode will help you slow down, realign your priorities, and build a simple system that supports you through the holidays.

I pray this conversation helps you breathe easier and reminds you that God isn’t asking you to hustle your way through Q4—He’s inviting you to steward what you already have.

Grab your coffee, open your calendar, and let’s refresh your Dream Week together.

I pray this blesses you,

Michele

Do you ever feel like your best content just vanishes after you post it? You pour your energy into a podcast, blog, or social post… and then it gets buried, forgotten, and missed by the exact people who need it most.

Three Habits for Consistent Content Creation in a Packed Schedule

Hey Friend!

If you’ve ever thought, “I want to be consistent with my content, but between my clients, my programs, and my family, I just don’t have the time or energy…” this episode was made for you.

Inside today’s show, I’m sharing three simple habits that will help you finally follow through on your content without adding more to your already packed schedule. These aren’t just generic tips — they’re the exact strategies I use with health and wellness coaches to help them move past decision fatigue, create systems that work with their practice, and repurpose the wisdom they’re already sharing with clients every single day.

Why does this matter for you? Because your healing wisdom deserves to reach more people than the ones already on your calendar. The clients who need you most can’t find you if your knowledge stays hidden inside one-on-one sessions or gets lost in overwhelm. These three habits will give you the clarity, structure, and confidence to keep showing up — even when life feels full.

By the end of this episode, you’ll know how to:

✨ Choose your healing focus each week so you never stare at a blank page again.

✨ Build simple systems that fit the natural rhythm of your practice.

✨ Stack content creation into what you’re already doing, so it doesn’t feel like extra work.

These shifts will help you move from frustration and burnout into that deep satisfaction of knowing your message is consistently reaching the people who need it.

I pray this blesses you!

XO,

Michele

140 | Choosing the Right Coaching PM Tool: Trello vs Asana vs ClickUp

Hey Coach!

If you’ve been feeling like your amazing content — podcast episodes, transformation stories, or client education — just disappears after you share it once, today’s episode is for you.

I’m walking you through the differences between Trello vs Asana vs ClickUp so you can finally pick the tool that matches your brain, your business stage, and your coaching practice.

Because here’s the truth: the problem isn’t your content. It’s your system. Without a project management tool, your best ideas get lost in sticky notes, scattered docs, and “I’ll post this later” folders. And that means the wisdom that could help more people never makes it out into the world consistently.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Why project management tools are an energy management secret weapon for coaches.
• The pros and cons of Trello, Asana, and ClickUp — explained with real coaching examples.
• How to know which tool will feel supportive (not overwhelming) for your unique business.
• The mindset shift that helps you stop getting stuck in indecision and start building momentum.

By the end of today’s episode, you’ll have clarity on which tool will help you create a simple, repeatable system that frees you up to do what you love — serving your clients and creating content that lights you up.

I pray this blesses you!

XO,

Michele
