  • Microdosing & Mental Health Part 1 With Kathleen Oh

    “With psilocybin slowing down the thought to allow for the feeling, it gives more choice around the action.”

    —  Kathleen Oh


    This episode of Captivate + Convert is going to take you on a journey.


    Or should I say “trip?”


    My guest is Kathleen Oh, an integration coach, breathwork facilitator, and psychedelic guide. 


    Full disclosure: I’ve been working with her for a while now and she is PHENOMENAL at what she does!


    And part of what she does is help her clients unpack their limiting beliefs, connect with their inner landscape, and develop greater clarity... through microdosing psilocybin mushrooms.


    “What psilocybin does is it works on receptors in the brain that are the emotional receptors, the serotonin receptors, similar to what an antidepressant is,” Kathleen explains. “But an antidepressant is actually capping those receptors so that the emotion doesn’t become too out of unbalance. What psilocybin is doing is pushing into new space, new thought, and new experience.”


    Why am I talking about microdosing on a podcast about entrepreneurship? Because when it comes to the stressful reality of running your own business, conversations about self care, mental health, and emotional wellbeing are just as legit as conversations about social selling and marketing strategy.


    So hop into the episode, keep an open mind, and get ready to learn everything you ever wanted to know about magic mushrooms!


    Hit play and find a new way to work! In this episode, you’ll learn:

    • Why psychedelics have such a bad rep despite their amazing healing potential
    • The lowdown on microdosing and how it can be used for mental and emotional wellness 
    • Where to find free support, guidance, and education for microdosing 


    NOTE: this podcast episode is for educational purposes only.

  • Create Your Own Signature Framework With Tiffany Ingle

    “Always keep your ear to the ground, so that you are aware of how people are responding to your brand.”

    —  Tiffany Ingle


    You can’t scroll your Instagram or Facebook feed for more than a minute without running into an entrepreneur posting about their signature, 4-step framework that’s going to transform your biz — or even your life!


    What IS a signature framework?? And should you create one for your own business?


    My guest for this episode, brand voice strategist Tiffany Ingle, is here to spill the beans on exactly what a signature framework is, how to develop a sellable one, and why building an aligned framework will set you and your offers apart from your competition.


    Sounds great, right? But there’s more — creating your signature framework will actually simplify EVERYTHING about your brand strategy, from marketing to offer creation!


    “When you’re thinking about creating a framework, you first want to consider what you’re doing right now,” Tiffany says. “Think about what’s working for you internally, and then figure out what’s working well for your existing clients. Get on the phone with them — find out what parts of the process are really resonating with them.”


    In this episode, Tiffany shares how to build a framework, when to roll it out, and whether you should share it publicly!


    Hit play and find a new way to work! In this episode, you’ll learn:

    • What it means to create a “framework” in your business — and why a good framework will become the spine of your brand
    • The importance of being flexible and treating your framework as a living thing
    • Whether you should focus on process or outcomes when it comes to your framework

  • 1 Simple Tool That'll Make Your Biz Life EasierWith Cathlyn Melvin

    “Your FAQ is going to arm you with talking points. It establishes a foundation of who you are, how you work, what your expectations are, and what people’s expectations of you should be.”

    —  Cathlyn Melvin


    How much time do you spend thinking about your FAQs? Or, how about this: do you even have an FAQ section on your website?


    After my interview with copywriter and editor Cathlyn Melvin, I will be adding one ASAP!


    For many of us, FAQs are a totally overlooked element of our websites. But when handled correctly, your FAQs can become a secret weapon that will vet your prospects BEFORE your discovery calls and help you manage challenging client interactions with ease! 


    I bet that got your attention!


    FAQs used to be a simple way to get ahead of customer service questions, but they’ve begun to take on new roles. “Recently, it’s switched to being really sales-focused, where we’re getting ahead of objections and we’re increasing the Know, Like, and Trust before people get on the call with us,” Cathlyn says. They can also be used to shape the provider-client relationship!


    Cathlyn uses her FAQs to give potential clients the opportunity to understand her process, services, and working relationships right off the bat, so that prospects that aren’t a good fit can opt out of booking a call — and prospects that ARE can get even more excited about working with her!


    By outlining who you are, how you work and how you expect to be treated BEFORE your discovery calls, you set up the foundation for your biz relationships on YOUR terms.


    And that is priceless!


    Hit play and find a new way to work! In this episode, you’ll learn:

    • The types of things that you should really consider including in your FAQs
    • How FAQs differ from and overlap with contracts 
    • Where you should be referencing your FAQs when engaging with prospects (hint: not just on your FAQ page!)

  • My Journey with Keto Part 2

    Today's episode is a little different...


    When I started sharing that I was working with someone to heal some of the hormonal and metabolic issues I'd been struggling with (and my results) I got a lot of questions about what I was doing, how it worked, and why.


    So, I thought, what better way to address all the questions than to dedicate an entire podcast episode to the subject? And of course, I had to interview the woman who's helping to change my life and my health!


    As it turned out, we had so much to talk about, I ended up dedicating TWO entire podcast 
    episodes to the subject!


    Last week's episode was all about Meghann's own incredible 'behind the business' story of healing from food and exercise addiction, recovering from a traumatic brain injury that ended her career, and how she became a health coach.


    If you haven't listened to Part One, seriously - go back! It's an unbelievable journey she's been on!


    In today's episode (Part Two) we're talking about how my life has changed since I cut out sugar and switched to a high-fat, low-carb diet.


    I'm sharing my personal experience, what it's like to work with Meghann and complete her program, and of course, my results (so far.)  


    We also dive into some common FAQs around keto and specific questions people asked me on Instagram, like:


    ✓ What the ketogenic lifestyle is and isn’t — and who can get the most benefits from a low-carb, high-fat diet
    ✓ What it means to deal with Leaky Gut Syndrome, what it can lead to, and how to treat it
    ✓ The huge role that mindset and accountability play in successfully reaching your health goals

    About Meghann Hempel: Meghann Hempel is a certified health coach and personal trainer who specializes in low-carb, high-fat nutrition and the ketogenic lifestyle. She firmly believes that we have the ability to heal ourselves through food, wellness, and lifestyle changes.

  • My Journey With Keto Part 1

    “I’m in the clear now. I’m feeling like a human and I’m ready to take on the world.”

    —  Meghann Hempel


    Certified health and lifestyle coach and personal trainer Meghann Hempel has the kind of inspiring ‘behind the business’ story that could be turned into a bestselling book. 


    And we’re going to explore it all on the Captivate + Convert podcast!


    Prior to changing the lives of her clients (including me!), Meghann dealt with her own unhealthy relationship to food — which started at the age of just nine years old, when she was prescribed psychiatric medications which led to major weight gain, increased appetite, and food obsessions.


    At 16, she became a fitness addict, binging on food and then over-exercising.


    It wasn’t until she weaned herself off of her prescription meds that she was able to find the clarity and energy to start building her career….


    … and that’s when her eating disorder got truly serious.


    This episode is the first of a two-part interview with Meghann. This chapter explores Meghann’s journey from overmedicated child to zombified young mom to healed healer. From rock-bottom bulimia to traumatic brain injury, Meghann has overcome some serious challenges — tune in now to hear her incredible story!


    Hit play and find a new way to work! In this episode, you’ll learn:

    • How prescription meds affected Meghann’s lifestyle and eating habits — and how long it took her to recover
    • How a traumatic brain injury forced Meghann to shift her career path
    • The real lowdown on food addiction, triggers, and food sobriety

  • A Year of Christy Questions

    “My business is my activism, because it’s a legacy that I’ll leave for my children.”

    —  Tamika Auwai


    We’ve made it to the first anniversary of the Captivate + Convert podcast!


    Over the past year, I’ve had the opportunity to talk to some amazing guests who have shared some legit tips and biz-building strategies across a range of disciplines, including brand building, copywriting, SEO, and more.


    Honestly? When I first launched the podcast, I wasn’t sure how long it would last.


    Let me tell you — producing a weekly show isn’t easy, especially for someone with no prior background in podcasting.


    But despite all the uncertainty and overwhelm… Captivate + Convert has managed to consistently rank in the top 5% of business podcasts! (Thank you to everyone who has left a review or a five-star rating!)

  • Replay: Captivate Your Audience With Storytelling

    “We have to do a lot of showing in our stories, with examples… not just telling people.”

    —  Brenna McGowan


    We all know the importance of having a strong call-to-action… but everything that comes before your CTA needs to be just as powerful!


    This week’s episode is a blast from the past — it’s an episode that covers a pretty important topic when it comes to copywriting and marketing: storytelling. 


    My guest for this episode, Brenna McGowan, is a legit genius when it comes to transitioning from your story to your sell — the one step that so many marketers seem to stumble on. 


    Brenna and I have a great conversation about what happens when you niche down (it’s not what you’d expect!), what *really* connects you with your ideal clients, and how to effectively weave storytelling into the copy you write for your biz website and emails.


    As a major bonus, we also answer the age-old question when it comes to nurturing emails: quantity or quality?


    Hit play and find a new way to work! In this episode, you’ll learn:

    • Brenna’s amazing Segue framework to help you effortlessly sell through your emails and captions
    • The biggest mistakes that people make when writing their copy — and what to do instead 
    • How to identify the stories that will help you sell... and the stories that are a little bit TMI!
