  • 193: Everything I Lost By Only "Selling Sometimes" - And How I'm Fixing It This Year

    Steph calls it "sales hygiene." And she'll be the first to admit she hasn't been practicing it.

  • 192: Sell the Most by Doing the Least

    In this episode, Steph breaks down what she calls the Container Store Problem — the trap of chasing new systems, new funnels, and new strategies before you've done the real work of figuring out what actually sells.

    The experts with the most predictable businesses aren't doing more. They're doing the same thing, reliably, over and over — and that repetition is what compounds into real revenue.

    If you've been strategy-hopping, reinventing your launches, or wondering why nothing seems to stick, this episode is your wake-up call.

  • 191: Summer Lock-In: How to Have Strong Sales in June & July

    Summer is not the time to take your foot off the gas. It just feels that way.

    In this episode, Steph makes the case for why summer is actually one of the best times to sell, shares the mindset shift that turns "everyone's on vacation" into real opportunity, and gets personal about how she's structuring this summer to go after her million-dollar goal without losing herself in the process.

    If you've ever talked yourself out of launching because the timing felt off, this one's for you.

  • 190: "But I Feel Desperate!" How to Ditch Convincing Energy and Sell From Total Conviction Instead

    So you find yourself over-explaining, over-answering, and just generally feeling like you're having to DRAG people toward a "yes" when you're selling. You're not alone, and Steph has a hot take you didn't see coming.

    In this episode, Steph breaks down the convincing energy trap: what it actually means when you feel desperate or pushy in your sales, why pulling back even when you want to is almost never the right move, and the one mindset shift that changes everything.

    You'll hear why questions and objections are actually signs of life, how to reframe even the toughest "I can't afford it" pushback, and the real reason your prospects aren't thinking big enough — and how that starts with you.

    If you've ever talked yourself out of sending a follow-up, doing a personal reach-out, or making an invitation because it felt "too desperate", this episode is your permission slip to rethink that completely.

    In this episode:

    • The difference between convincing and convicted — and how to move from one to the other
    • Why retreating from outreach is a thought error (and what to do instead)
    • How to reframe objections so you're playing a bigger game
    • The dinner party analogy that reframes personal invitations forever
    • Why clients who ask lots of questions often become your best ones

  • 189: Iceberg Ideas: The Hidden Cost of "Quick" Projects

    There's a sneaky new way entrepreneurs are avoiding the work that actually grows a business, and it feels incredibly productive while it's happening.

    Steph calls it the iceberg idea trap, and AI is the latest and most seductive version of it. In this episode, she makes the case for minimum viable AI: how to use it as the tool it is without letting it become the thing you hide behind.

    If you've been spending more time building systems than talking to potential clients, this one's going to hit home.

  • 188: How I Signed 18 New Clients in One Launch (With Zero Re-signs and a Construction Zone for an Office)

    In this episode, Steph walks you through the launch that changed how she thinks about what's possible, including why she scrapped her webinar for a five-day summit, the counterintuitive strategy that had people selling themselves, and the mindset work she credits more than any tactic.

    She signed 18 brand-new clients with zero re-signs, a house mid-renovation, and a goal she's been almost too scared to say out loud.

    If you've ever held back a big goal because you weren't sure you could pull it off, or you've been wondering whether it's the strategy or something deeper keeping you from your next level, this episode is going to hit close to home.

  • 187: $8K for Weight Loss? How Dr. Priyanka Venugopal Charges Premium (Even in a Crowded Market)

    Dr. Priyanka Venugopal (https://burnstressloseweight.com/) is an OB-GYN turned stress and weight loss coach helping overachieving professional women break the cycle of overthinking, emotional eating, and self-doubt. She runs a six-month group program at $8K, and her clients aren't just losing weight. They're getting 10 to 15 hours back every week.

    In this conversation, Steph and Priyanka go deep on what it actually takes to sell a premium offer in a saturated market, why your ideal clients think they have a discipline problem when they don't, and the real cost of staying stuck in the "I don't have time" story.

    If you've ever wondered how to make people feel the value of what you do before they've experienced it, this episode will show you exactly how.
