  • 9 Podcast Pitch Mistakes That’ll Get You Ghosted
    Jul 8 2025

    If you’ve ever pitched yourself to be on a podcast and gotten total crickets... this one’s for you.

    I’m spilling the tea on podcast pitches—the good, the bad, and the so-bad-I-hit-delete-before-I-finish-reading. As someone who has a background in public relations and has hosted this show for over two years, I get dozens of pitches every week. And honestly? Most of them are awful.

    So I created this episode to help you do better.

    I’m breaking down the 9 red flags that make me delete a pitch instantly. These are the things I see over and over again from cold pitches, especially the kind written by AI or PR agencies that clearly don’t know me, my show, or my audience. But don’t worry—I’m also sharing the exact steps to write a thoughtful, strategic pitch that actually gets a YES.

    In this episode, I share:

    • Why cold pitching rarely works (and what to do instead)
    • The most cringe AI-generated language that screams "template"
    • What I actually want to see in a guest pitch
    • Why doing your research gives you a major edge
    • The power of leading with generosity and relationships

    This is the no-BS guide to getting visible through podcast guesting—without being annoying, lazy, or robotic.

  • The Hidden Habit That’s Draining Your Self-Worth
    Jun 24 2025

    Perfectionism. Productivity guilt. Rest as a reward (only after you're totally burned out). Sound familiar?

    This week I'm joined by the incredible Mindi Huebner—a certified clinical hypnotherapist, NLP practitioner, and subconscious success alchemist. She guides high-achieving women to rewire their subconscious so their success feels spacious, embodied, and rooted in self-trust—not urgency.

    This conversation is all about letting go of hustle culture. Mindi shares her personal journey of breaking up with the belief that "rest is lazy" and walks us through how subconscious identity drives 95% of our actions. We unpack how to start noticing your "achievement attachment," how to define success in your season, and why it's time to build your business with both ambition and authenticity.

    Tune in to hear:

    • How your subconscious identity is shaping your business habits
    • What "achievement attachment" looks like (and why it leads to burnout)
    • Why redefining success by season is crucial
    • How to rewire limiting beliefs without hitting rock bottom first
    • The brain science behind why hustle feels safer than rest
    • What aligned hustle really looks like (and how to spot it)

    >>MEET MINDI<<

  • Processing Grief While Running a Business (In Real Time)
    Jun 17 2025

    This episode is raw and real. I'm not coming at you with a strategy drop or a polished script. I'm just here, sharing from my heart, because life handed me a hard stop and I couldn’t not talk about it.

    Two weeks ago, I was on fire—building, creating, riding a wave of momentum like never before. And then, in an instant, it all paused. A close family friend lost their 21-year-old son in a tragic accident, and it rocked me. It rocked all of us.

    So I hit pause. I cried. I hugged my kids tighter. I barely touched work. And yet...things kept flowing. New opportunities. Clients. Income. Magic. Even in the stillness.

    This episode isn’t about efforting. It’s about surrender. It’s about the duality of running a purpose-driven business while navigating very human emotions. And it’s about remembering that the world doesn’t stop when you do. Sometimes, it gives you exactly what you need.

    I’ll unpack:

    • Why grief doesn’t wait for your calendar to clear
    • How momentum still exists in moments of stillness
    • The difference between efforting and allowing
    • The guilt and grace of having good things happen during sad times
    • What it means to build a business that lets you be human


    If you’re in a season of stillness, softness, or struggle—this one’s for you.

  • Google Ads for Storefronts: What You Actually Need to Know
    Jun 3 2025

    Let’s talk Google Ads—specifically for local businesses and storefronts that are wondering if paid traffic is worth the investment (or just a money pit). I'm joined by John Horn, CEO of Stub Group, who’s the go-to guy when entrepreneurs are tired of guessing whether their ad dollars are doing anything.

    John’s run more than 15,000 ad campaigns and helped generate over $400 million in client revenue, so when he says, “$10 isn’t going to move the needle,” you know he means it.

    In this episode, we unpack:

    • Why Google Ads are tricky to track for brick-and-mortar businesses
    • What budget you actually need to make Google Ads work (spoiler: it’s not $200/month)

    • What to do before running any Google campaign


    • The one free tool you probably haven’t optimized (but should!)


    • How to build trust and increase your walk-in traffic with your Google Business ProfileHow to connect online clicks to real-life foot traffic


    • How often you should post on your profile (and yes, you can just repurpose your Instagram)


    Whether you’re already dabbling in ads or wondering where the heck to start, this episode is your no-fluff primer for making Google work for you, not drain your bank account.

    May 27 2025

    Please vote for our show as Best Business Podcast in this year’s Women in Podcasting Awards!

    ***********

    This one’s personal. I open up about losing my mum in 2017 and how it shaped my decision to start a business built on time freedom. I didn’t want to trade my family for a career. And I know you don’t either.

    That’s why I’m bringing you a conversation that’s more than a strategy session—it’s a shift in mindset.

    In this episode, I’m diving into how AI can become your secret weapon for reclaiming your time while still showing up with authority, authenticity, and confidence.

    Spoiler alert: This isn’t a tech tutorial. It’s a heart-first approach to using smart tools that actually sound like YOU (not like a robot who just discovered Canva).

    We’ll unpack:

    • Why your visibility strategy should start with your values—not the algorithm
    • How to stop the burnout spiral of content creation (especially if you’re avoiding IG like the plague)
    • My 5-part BrandCalibrator™ framework that custom-trains ChatGPT to sound like YOU
    • What happens when AI + strategy collide in your business (spoiler: time, energy, and clarity)
    • How the Visible AF accelerator helps you implement it all with support

    If you've been feeling overwhelmed by content demands and craving more freedom, this one's for you.
