    84. How HoneyBook Helped Jackie Klein Scale Her Business After Teaching
    Jul 21 2025
    In this episode of Her Business Elevated, I chat with Jackie Klein—a former educator turned systems consultant and HoneyBook expert. Jackie shares her inspiring journey from teaching to tech, how COVID opened a new chapter for her, and how she leveraged her background to become a sought-after CRM consultant for women solopreneurs. We unpack what a CRM actually is, why HoneyBook has become her tool of choice, and how it can transform the back end of your business into a streamlined, automated machine. Jackie explains how she bridges tech with teaching to make HoneyBook easier to understand—and how her HoneyBook Success Network membership offers business owners the coaching, community, and tech support they need to confidently scale.

    Inside this episode:
    • Jackie’s pivot from the classroom to consulting after early retirement How a $1 HoneyBook trial changed her business trajectory

    • The biggest myths about CRMs and automations—and how to reframe them


    • Examples of automations every solopreneur should consider

    • Why you’re not automating the relationship—just the systems

    • How to map your client journey before you start building workflows

    • The real-time support Jackie offers inside her HoneyBook Success Network

  • 82. Navigating the Fear of Rejection in Business

    82. Navigating the Fear of Rejection in Business
    May 23 2025
    Let’s be honest—rejection is hard. And if you’ve ever been ghosted by a potential client after pouring your heart into a pitch, I see you. I’ve been there. This week, I’m opening up about some of my own experiences with rejection in business and what I’ve learned about not taking it personally. In this episode, I’m walking you through:

    -Why rejection is inevitable (and often not about you at all)
    -How I learned to reframe a "no" into valuable feedback
    -A powerful example from Myleik Teele (founder of CurlBox) on how rejection redirected her success
    -How I protect my energy and detach from outcomes in order to stay resilient and focused

    Plus, I’m shouting out a phenomenal entrepreneur and homeschool coach who’s showing up with so much clarity and purpose.

    🌟 Featured Entrepreneur of the Week:
    This week, I’m celebrating Tracy Kelly—a homeschool coach and educator who’s just revamped her tutoring page, and y’all, it looks amazing. We worked together recently to bring more clarity to her offerings, and I’m so proud of how confidently she’s stepping into her next season.

    81. You’re the Brand. Now Lead Like It.
    May 8 2025
    Hey hey, beautiful people — I’m back with a soul-stirring solo episode that’s short, direct, and straight from the heart. In this conversation, I’m challenging you (and reminding myself too): You are the brand. Now it’s time to lead like it. If you’ve ever found yourself playing small, overexplaining your worth, or just showing up “enough” to stay visible — this one's for you. I’m sharing a real moment in my business journey that pushed me to stop hiding behind content and start fully owning my authority. In this episode, I talk about:
    • The panel moment that shifted how I saw myself as a leader
    • How I went from “doing all the things” to building a boutique agency with purpose
    • What it really means to lead like the brand you already are
    • The 3 mindset shifts I made to stop chasing audiences and start setting the tone
    • A visibility audit challenge to help you show up with boldness and clarity
    Plus, I’ve got an exciting announcement: my former 1:1 coaching offer, Impact Podcast Coach, has officially evolved into a full-service agency — Soul Podcasting Collective — designed to support service providers, coaches, authors, and thought leaders who are ready to lead with their voice through podcasting. This episode isn’t about getting the perfect bio or going viral. It’s about stepping fully into your leadership energy — with vision, voice, and visibility that reflects your legacy. 🎧 Hit play if you’re ready to stop waiting for permission and start showing up like the powerhouse brand you are.

    In this episode, I had the pleasure of sitting down with an incredible guest, Becky Robinson, who shared not only her entrepreneurial journey, but also a wealth of insight on building influence online. We kicked things off by getting to know her personally—her family life, favorite pastimes, and what brings her joy. She opened up about how she launched Weaving Influence and the inspiration behind her book Reach, including a surprising discovery she made while writing it. We dove into her expert framework for establishing thought leadership online—covering value, consistency, longevity, and generosity—and she offered actionable advice for authors and thought leaders just getting started. Becky is also generously offering her book Reach to our listeners because she’s passionate about getting it into your hands and helping you grow your impact.
