Align & Amplify

Whether you've been rocking your online business for a while or are still in the daydream stage, I want to shed some light on 3 website lies you may have been believing up until now - to make sure you're putting your time and money where it matters most with your biggest online asset. (and not getting lost in the endless "planning" stage!)

Because if you're on your way to owning and running a successful online business (whether in travel, coaching, consulting… whatever your passion is) …

… I want you to stand out in your industry and attract your dream clients on repeat!

Having a polished, professional and profitable website can be SO MUCH more accessible and easier than you may think.

Get your game face on, 'cause in this episode I'm going to bust through these beliefs:

1. XX You should invest in a custom built website in order to stand out in your industry (um, nope)
2. XX Having lots of inspirational and informational content on your website helps convert clients (BIG depends here…)
3. XX Your website isn't that important with social media these days (just shut your mouth right there!)

Over the past few months I've been in a slower phase personally in my business due to our big move and sorting out our childcare schedule. And while I haven't been outwardly producing a lot (though my team has been killing it on the design side!) - I've been really going inward and digesting so much. Slowing down in life and busineess allows you to go deeper vs. going fast and spreading yourself wider. In the process of spreading ourself wider, if we don't have our roots in deep to begin with we could end up over worked, spread too thin, and burnt out. Ive been reflecting on things like:

• What my company's values are and why we're here
• How we can better live our company values - which translates into
• What the future looks like for both Girlboss Designer & my coaching business

In this episode I go into detail about all of the above and why I am so fired up about what's to come for the future of both companies (design business and coaching business) One of the people in the online space I've really been diving into hard these past few months that I talk about in this episode is Andrea Crowder, she has a brand called the Unruley Entrepreneur. Her approach to business and her focus on working with your subconscious has really been resonated deeply with me and I've been soaking it all up! Programs of Andrea Crowders's I've taken that I reference in this episode:

1. Regulate
2. Mantras that are Blocking Your Manifestations
3. Daddy Energy
4. No Doubt in the DMs
5. $100k in a Day Masterclass
6. The Pleasure Model (currently going through this one!)

It's my first podcast episode after making the big move from Australia to the States! I'm giving you a little behind-the-scenes look of our first few weeks here, and then sharing my journey of buying my car. Some interesting mindset shifts popped up throughout this process, including limiting beliefs, spending money according to your values, and so much more.

I almost named this episode Finding Alignment as a Mom, and quickly changed it to Creating Alignment because let's be real - we rarely just "find" time to put ourselves first these days! I find it funny when people say "I just don't remember what like was like before having my child! I can't imagine life without them!". And I'm like, O I remember. And as much as I love being a mom and my son - that life was pretty damn good too! Gone are the days of naturally waking up, going about your morning as slow as you'd like, spending whatever time you need to get into a really good feeling place before beginning your workday. Beyond any scheduled calls, I used to flow throughout the morning and day, and create a schedule that best suited me. Maybe I'd throw in a meditation and journaling session before emails, or go get my nails done or a massage in the middle of a weekday. I let my intuition guide me and had so much freedom. I used share all the time about prioritizing your self care and your energy before others so you can show up as your best self. Then, I became a mom. I'll share a few ways I've found helpful when creating more time for YOU - to do the things that light you up and bring more alignment into your life in this episode!

Welcome to today's episode where talk about websites specifically designed for coaches. Whether you're a business coach, mindset coach, health coach, or consultant, the coaching industry offers so many different varieties and little niches.

As the coaching industry continues to thrive, it's not uncommon for coaches to encounter challenges when it comes to their website. Perhaps they've previously worked with a web designer who didn't fully grasp their business or understand their unique requirements. This disconnect can lead to frustration and difficulties aligning their vision with the website creation process.

In this episode, we'll explore the essential elements every online coach should consider for their website. Join us as we discuss the six must-haves that will elevate your online coaching presence in today's world.

Today I have a very special guest on the podcast, Olga Blias! Olga is a Master Transformative Life Coach, and her expertise lies in Mindset Mastery and Manifestation. I worked with Olga earlier this year as my coach, and she was actually the coach who trained me in my NLP certification back in 2021. She supports countless clients align with their true selves and manifest their dream life. She is your answer when you want to break free from negative states and feeling stuck and consciously manifest your goals and dreams. She helps you step into the most powerful version of yourself. Olga shares her story and how she began her journey. We talk all about how you already have all the answers you need inside you, how to overcome fears, free yourself from stuck state, how to start making positive changes in our lives and how to create powerful and permanent shifts. Confidence and success has a unique meaning for every single Soul, and Olga shares practical tips for those beginning to embody the identity of the most successful, joyful version of themselves, and it's way easier than you think!

Next week I'll be getting on a plane to move back to the States after living in Australia for almost 6 years. Whenever we have these big life changes where we're beginning a new chapter, it's fun to look back and notice how we've changed over the years.

I moved here in my late 20's with just 4 suitcases that held my life, and a little bit of freelance design work to pay for the bare essentials. I'll be returning as a wife, a mother, a design agency owner. But so much more has changed beyond the titles and what's on the surface. That's what I want to share with you guys in today's episode.

Growing a business also becomes a huge crash course in personal development. It requires you to expand yourself and get our of your comfort zone in ways you may not have otherwise done.

Since launching/growing Girlboss Designer, I've gone further and further into the world of self development - much more than I had ever done when I had a "job".

When I look back over my time here in AU, I've done SO MUCH development! From the more practical side with business and strategy programs - to the deeper internal work with mindset, subconscious work, deep healing and manifestation.

Working on myself in all of these areas has changed not only how I view myself, how I operate in my life and the results that I see, but also how I interact with others and even my bank account.

Today we're discussing our favorite and most-used platforms and systems that we use with Girlboss Designer. I get asked about this regularly from our clients and on consultation calls. Either someone is creating a brand new business and they need to get everything setup fresh - or they've been running their business for a while but more manually and they're ready to streamline.

I've compiled a list of our favorite tech tools and platforms and organized them by category.

First we're talking about Business Management tools (from CRMs, to calendars and tasks), then Finance & Legal (payment processors, managing finances, running payroll), then Websites & Courses (platforms for running both), and finally Marketing & Creative (email marketing, creating graphics, getting photos etc).

Want to cut your time spent creating marketing content down to just a fraction of what you're currently doing? We want to focus on creating 1 piece of very high value, well thought out content - and then spin that into 12+ other bits of content to be shared across all your marketing platforms. This is all about working smarter, not harder. Don't miss out – tune in now!

I'm back with a Part 2 of what it's really like to live in Australia! After recording the first episode about what it's really like to live here, I kept remembering so many more things I could have shared with you all.

Like for example, I never even addressed the whole deadly animal, snake spider conversation! We're that and so much more today. I also share more of the fun Aussie slang and lingo.
