Hey Everyone! Danielle Stead Blanton, an amazing friend, attorney, and member of The Friday Society Membership, joined me to discuss common legal questions I hear from my clients all the time.

I can't say enough about Danielle and her expertise in the fitness industry. I recommend her to literally all of my clients for legal counsel because she understands this industry backwards and forwards. 

In this episode we discussed; should your instructors be employees or independent contractors? Are non-competes even valid? What to consider with a non-solicitation. Compensation considerations and so much more! 

This episode is incredibly applicable to business owners, studio employees, or independent contractors.

Hey everyone! I had the most amazing time talking with Charlotte Muller, the Founder of Breathe Strength Wellness. We dove deep into hosting memberships and covered the pros and cons. Personally, I love having TFS Membership which is my monthly marketing membership. It allows me to connect with my clients on a deeper level and provide accessible marketing advice, however, it takes a lot of work! Charlotte and I discussed what it takes to make a membership not only profitable but with low turnover and immensly valuable. We talked about how you can analyze social media stats to understand what your followers enjoy which can spark ideas of how to grow your business. We also discussed how she grew her business during Covid and so much more.

In this solo episode, I’m walking you through exactly what I’d focus on if I wanted to build a sustainable and successful small business in 2026 — without burnout, constant hustle, or overspending on things that don’t actually move the needle.

We’ll talk systems, messaging, local visibility, social media, newsletters, SEO, client appreciation, and audience building — and how these pieces work together to create a business that’s profitable, personal, and built to last.

The best part? Aside from software and a little swag, most of this is free. This is about putting money in your bank account, not just your Stripe dashboard.

If you’re a small business owner who wants growth and longevity — and a business that actually supports your life — this episode is your blueprint.

Hey Everyone!

This is a perfect episode to kick off your New Year by reframing your financial mindset and entering 2026 with an intentional money strategy. I was able to host the amazing Founders of Wealthkind, Delana Bristow and Lexi Sidle, on the podcast. They specialize in helping women reclaim their financial freedom and create their dream life. Not only do they teach tangible investment strategies but they incorporate meditation and energetics into their holistic approach. 

I'm also so excited to be hosting them in The Friday Society Membership in February. I would love if you would join us to learn from these incredible women.
