There are way too many internet coaches preying on your imposter syndrome and promising things they can’t actually guarantee with vague and hopeful statements like "I can scale your business to multiple 6 figures in just 6 months," and “quit your 9-5 with my foolproof method.”

But your goal should not be to get to an arbitrary "6 figures" as quickly as possible. Your goal should be what works for YOU. Your goal probably was not to squeeze out as much money as you can from someone to get to six figures, right? I hope I'm not wrong here…

In today's episode, we talk about:

• The predatory marketing tactics used to prey on your imposter syndrome and desperation for guidance.
• How everyone and every business is different—there is no ONE marketing strategy or way of doing things that will work for everyone.
• Going after short-term cash grabs is NOT how to build a lasting brand
• How NOBODY can guarantee you will make $X amount of money in Y amount of time. NOBODY.
• How anyone who promises to have the PERFECT solution for you, they’re lying. They can't be sure of that.

We too often fall into the trap of watching others for “inspiration” to learn but it’s a slippery slope into comparisons, negative self-talk, and emulating traits that don’t truly fit us. Today’s episode is about how wishing to be somehow “better” is dangerous water to wade in too long because it often ignores what is so special and great about you that you should instead be leaning into.

In this episode we discuss:

• How to lean into YOUR strengths instead of strong-arming yourself into your weaknesses
• How everyone shines in different ways, and how someone else’s shine doesn’t mean that you shine any less
• Always striving to improve is great, but also dangerous long term if you don’t frame it properly
• The magic being unsure and not knowing where things will lead

Eating Ramen noodles, sleeping under your desk, and going “all in” have been romanticized and idealized as the only way to be successful and taken “seriously” as an entrepreneur and a business owner. I’m saying that’s BS. There are so many success stories of people working on their business in between their 9-5 and familial responsibilities. The problem: these stories aren’t glorified the way living off a friend’s sofa is. This gives us a skewed perception of what building a business is, what we need to do to “succeed,” and guilt and shame if we don't live like this.

In this episode we discuss:

• The realities of what it means to go “all in” on your business before you’re ready
• How “Researchers found that those who kept their day job while starting a company were 33% less likely to fail than the ones who went all in”
• When you keep your day job you’re forced to be more efficient and purposeful with your time—this is a good thing

Too often we wait for the perfect timing, education, financial backing, aesthetic, or even a hand-delivered invitation, to start or try something new. This waiting around and inaction doesn’t help you and it certainly doesn’t help the other human beings that you’re hoping to impact positively.

In this episode we discuss:

• How it’s better to learn and pivot from action than it is to start from absolute scratch
• Nobody will ask you to do what you want to do. Nobody. Ever. You need to invite yourself.
• You don’t need to have it all figured out before you take action

Sometimes you're so excited by a big idea that you don’t even know where to begin because it seems SO big and SO challenging. That excitement can quickly transform into overwhelm if you have too much energy without direction. It’s important in these times to direct that energy into a positive outlet and take the very first bite out of that elephant.

In this episode we discuss:

• How brain dumping everything out can transform how you tackle projects
• Starting with what you can control and do is the catalyst for positive movement
• The importance of building genuine connections to become inspired, see new perspectives, and to learn

Is there anywhere you feel resentful that you’re giving more than you’re getting back? You might be too focused on proving your value instead of providing value. This was me. When I first started offering free consultation marketing calls to women business owners, I was subconsciously hellbent on proving I could help them. I would overdeliver like crazy and make them feel so nourished and that they had such a wonderful list of things to work on that they actually didn't see the value in working with me...so I could never convert them to clients...until I figured out what the problem was.

In this episode we discuss:

• The difference between proving value vs. providing value and why that's such an important distinction
• The power of your own subconscious CTA
• Knowing your value and being strong in your language
• Why assuming a "yes" is such a game changer

The remedy to any problem we have these days seems to be “you just need to change your mindset”—Bonus points if that person is selling you something. This mindset mantra, in a lot of ways, tells us that our feelings and experiences are either not relevant or invalid. What if what I’m saying is legit? What if I’m in an awful situation surrounded by awful people and I need to make an actual change, NOT just change how I feel and think about it? Don’t get me wrong, mindset is definitely important, but it’s not the cure for EVERY single problem.

In this episode we discuss:

• The most often talked about mindset issues
• The link between toxic positivity and mindset mantras
• Being “enough” is the key to a positive mindset. Having enough: money, time, clothes, attractiveness, brains, etc.
• How having a positive mindset doesn't necessarily mean positive change and action in your life and what you can do to connect the two

Who wants to admit: “I’m really emotional and I make all of my decisions and life choices on my emotional whims?” Nobody. But we do. All of our decisions are driven by emotion. This is okay! We don’t need to try to kill this fact, we just need to recognize we’re not as rational as we think and use that to better understand our decisions and why we make them.

In this episode we discuss:

• the science behind how we make decisions
• why we choose outcomes that hurt us
• how your decisions could look if you took emotions out of them
• a personal story of letting go of emotional decisions that no longer served me

“Manifest the life of your dreams” is often a slogan for a program or product someone is attempting to sell you—“Buy my thing. My thing will teach you how to positive think and visualize yourself to heaven on earth for you.” I’ve got some problems and questions with “manifesting” and I bet you do too...

In this episode we discuss:

• The negative impacts of pushing manifestation on those with mental health disorders
• Why aren’t people talking about the action and hard work behind "manifestations”
• Isn’t working towards a manifestation just goal setting?
• The danger in placing so much weight on controlling our thoughts
• Is it manifesting…or is it just hard work paying off?
