If you’ve been sitting in “indecision land” waiting for the perfect plan, you’re not building a business—you’re building a prison. In this episode, I’m breaking down why waiting to be perfect is really just fear in disguise, how indecision is silently costing you opportunities, and the three ways to break free and finally move forward. You’ll learn how to shrink decisions, set deadlines, and treat everything like a test so you can build momentum—the real currency of entrepreneurship. Your business isn’t waiting for perfect. It’s waiting for you to decide.

Most online sales advice is stuck in the dark ages—cold DMs, fake “relationship building,” and hiding your prices like it’s some top-secret code. In this episode, I’m calling BS on the outdated playbook and breaking down Contrarian Selling—a bold, buyer-aware approach that matches how people actually buy in 2025. You’ll learn three game-changing shifts that make sales feel natural, confident, and way less desperate: stop hunting and start attracting, sell in public but close in private, and build systems that sell while you’re off the clock. If you’re tired of feeling sleazy, burnt out, or broke while trying to push offers you know are great, this is your permission slip to sell smarter, stand out, and actually enjoy the process.

In this episode, I sit down with Danielle McCleerey: a former SoulCycle celeb-instructor turned seven-figure coach and spiritual disruptor—whose journey from burnout to badass is as inspiring as it is unfiltered. We talk about her rise in the network marketing world, the quiet unraveling of a life that looked perfect on paper, and the radical decisions she made to reclaim alignment and authenticity.

Danielle breaks down how human design, trauma work, astrology, and pure truth-telling helped her transform not just her business, but her identity. If you've ever felt like success is suffocating you, like you’re trapped in a cycle of people-pleasing and overachieving, this conversation is your wake-up call.

We dig into:

How to spot when you're out of alignment (and what to do about it)

Why burnout is often disguised as success

The truth about network marketing, hustle culture, and external validation

Why your energy type actually matters in business

The victimhood trap (and how to finally take radical responsibility)

And how Danielle uses astrology and human design as a mirror—not a manual—for transformation

After 11 years building online—from network marketing to digital courses, affiliate income, community leadership, and beyond—I’ve got a lot to say about what I’d do differently if I were starting from scratch today.

This episode is part wisdom drop, part self-drag, and part blueprint for the beginner (or burnt-out) solopreneur who’s tired of spinning in circles. I'm covering everything from stop trying to convince broke people, to why “information” isn’t enough, to the real ROI of trusting yourself.

Whether you’re brand new or knee-deep in your digital business, this episode will save you time, energy, money—and maybe a few existential spirals.

What You’ll Learn:

• Why you must sell to the ready, not the resistant
• The mindset shift that took me years to figure out
• The signature framework move I wish I made on day one
• Why social proof is worth more than gold
• The truth about selling daily (even if it’s low-key)

PS: If you love this kind of behind-the-scenes real talk, leave a review and I’ll do a part two. I’ve got a whole other list of lessons nobody talks about—but everyone needs.

In this no-holds-barred episode, I sit down with my longtime friend and fellow entrepreneur Jenn Fasano—founder of Babes in Business, badass community builder, and unapologetic truth-teller. We go deep into what we really learned from our network marketing days (hint: it wasn’t just how to sell supplements), how Jenn turned “meant for more” into a multi-business empire, and why most people quit entrepreneurship before they ever get good. From starting events in her backyard to launching a SaaS company, Jenn’s journey is a masterclass in evolution, resilience, and doing it your own damn way. We talk balance, burnout, building legacy, and why being liked is no longer the goal—being real is. If you’ve ever felt like the odd one out in traditional business rooms or wanted permission to run your business on your terms, this one’s for you.
Heads up: we swear. A lot. So move the kids and let’s go.

What if building a six-figure business didn’t require selling your soul, chasing clients, or being glued to your laptop 12 hours a day? In this episode, Vicki sits down with the brilliant and deeply grounded Zee—a business and strategy coach who’s redefining what it means to grow with intention, serve with depth, and sell without desperation.

Zee shares the full, unfiltered story of how she went from an overworked corporate leader to an “accidental entrepreneur,” built a thriving business through genuine connection, and now supports coaches and course creators in scaling with clarity and calm. They dive into the hard moments too—what it looked like to pivot after a brick-and-mortar flop, how motherhood rocked her identity as a business owner, and why her $88K month only means something because of the way she earned it.

This is not another highlight reel. It’s a real conversation about energy, boundaries, emotional intelligence in sales, and the power of embodying certainty in your brand. Zee breaks down why she doesn’t chase clients (and never closes in the DMs), how your top-of-funnel messaging might be sabotaging your confidence, and why real strategy isn’t just about revenue—it’s about alignment.

If you’ve ever struggled with unattachment in your business, felt pressure to perform, or wondered how to scale without selling out—you need this episode.
