Welcome to the Business Growth Trailblazers Podcast! In today’s episode, we’re talking about how to rebuild your business and create true success by starting with rebuilding yourself. 

Yulia Tarbath holds degrees in Psychology and Business and is certified in IFS and somatic work, with 14 years of experience helping established coaches and practitioners move past their plateaus and rebuild their business from the inside out.

She built a near-seven-figure coaching business, burned out, lost her team, her momentum, and her identity, and rebuilt everything from the inside out.

That experience became the Pivot Method, a proven framework for coaches and experts who are ready to lead from their depth, pivot their offer, and build a business that finally reflects who they’ve become.

Welcome to the Business Growth Trailblazers Podcast! In today’s episode, we’re talking about how to go from being scattered to becoming structured, so you can scale effectively. 

Karas Wright spent 25 years inside Canada's banking industry — moving through business advising and financial planning mid-career, then into branch management and senior leadership. Across that time she sat with hundreds of business owners' financials and watched the same pattern repeat: founders who had built something real, survived the hard early years, and then quietly stalled. Not because of a lack of drive. Because of a lack of systems underneath the ambition.

Today Karas is a PCC-designated business coach and the founder of WrightStep Coaching in Calgary, Alberta. She works with established founders who are past the startup phase but stuck in the plateau, operationally reactive, carrying too much, and ready to build the structure their business actually needs to move forward.

Her methodology, the WrightStep Operating System, moves founders through four movements: Stabilize, Discern, Align, and Execute, built on 25 years of watching what works and what quietly breaks down inside a real business.

She first discovered accounting in high school, knew early that it was the path she wanted to pursue, and went on to build her own tax and accounting firm in 2011.

Welcome to the Business Growth Trailblazers Podcast! In today’s episode, we’re talking about why people buy and how you can use that to get more people to choose your offer. 

After spending 40 years in retail watching people 'buy stuff' and then trying to get people to 'buy her stuff'... Tarnia realised just how much psychology is involved in buying. But when she moved into the digital world, she noticed those same techniques weren't being used, or even understood.

Tarnia Hopper now helps business owners understand who they are really selling to, not just at a surface level, but across different buyer types and states that exist inside every audience, every target market. 

With over 40+ years of experience across retail, wholesale and product based businesses, she has developed her Retail Buy-ology© framework, which identifies 11 distinct buyer profiles and how each one responds to different products, messaging, offers and timing. Because the reality is, not everyone is ready to buy at the same time, and not everyone will ever buy the same thing. 

Tarnia shows how to align your messaging, positioning and offers to the right buyers - so instead of guessing what will land, you know exactly who it's for, when to say it and why it works.

Her work bridges real world buying behaviour with the digital space, helping business owners make smarter decisions that drive clearer, more consistent results.

Welcome to the Business Growth Trailblazers Podcast! In today’s episode, we’re talking about how to infuse the human touch back into AI so you can use it in a more authentic way. 

Katie Gootenberg is the founder of Digitally Enhanced Marketing and host of the EntrepreneurShift podcast. She helps established service businesses integrate AI into their marketing and operations without losing the voice, trust, and relationships that built their brand in the first place.

Her work sits at the intersection of strategy and simplicity: building AI systems that act as a genuine extension of thoughtful operators, removing the repetitive work that slows teams down, and creating the kind of operational clarity that lets founders run their businesses without being the bottleneck in every room.

Katie is known for bringing a calm, grounded perspective to a conversation that usually generates more noise than clarity. She doesn't chase the hype. She builds what actually works.

Welcome to the Business Growth Trailblazers Podcast! In today’s episode, we’re talking about how to stop struggling with your business goals and leverage your silent secret partner.

Helle Brodie is a transformational business coach who helps high-achieving entrepreneurs break the cycle of being "successful but stuck." With over 35 years of entrepreneurial grit, Helle targets the root of business plateaus: the unconscious patterns that create invisible bottlenecks in leadership and growth. While traditional consultants focus solely on surface-level tactics, she specializes in aligning deep-seated psychology with rigorous business strategy.

This approach helps clients move from reactive firefighting to proactive, high-leverage leadership. Known for her rare blend of intuitive insight and three-and-a-half decades of business experience, Helle creates a safe environment where leaders can finally uncover what is holding them back.

The result is the ultimate ROI: recovering lost time, optimizing decision-making, and building a business that functions as a high-value asset—not a demanding 24/7 job. Helle helps clients reclaim their time freedom, financial freedom, and the internal freedom to savor every part of their lives.
