  • 171: The Sledding Video That Sold an $8K Client (What Success Really Looks Like)

    In this episode, Steph shares a conversation that completely shifted her perspective on success. An $8K client told her that seeing Steph sledding in her bathrobe while running a multiple six-figure company was what sold her on working together.

    Why? Because most of us believe that bigger business means less freedom, more sacrifice, and no time for what matters most.

    Steph breaks down why this belief is keeping us small. She reveals how growing her business actually made life easier, not harder, and why the assumption that success requires sacrifice is sabotaging our growth.

    This conversation is a must-listen if you've ever felt like you don't want your business to get too big and consuming, that success means sacrificing family time, or that there's something humble about staying small.

    Steph dives into why bigger business actually creates more freedom, how success demands you grow your capacity, why saying you don't want a million dollar business might be fear disguised as humility, and how to shift from survival mode to CEO mode.

    If you've been telling yourself you don't want to grow past a certain point, this episode will challenge everything you thought you knew about success.

  • 170: The 10-Minute Content Habit That Will Transform Your Visibility in 2026

    In this episode, Steph breaks down the myth that good content requires perfect conditions and extended time blocks. 

    You'll discover why perfectionism masquerades as overwhelm and keeps you hiding, plus Steph's simple 10-minute content habit that bypasses the perfection circuit entirely.

    You'll learn:

    • The three-step process that takes content from idea to published in 10 minutes
    • Why car videos outperform studio content (and what that means for you)
    • The "finish line strategy" to close mental tabs and focus on revenue-driving activities
    • How to decide what actually matters when your schedule feels shredded

    If you're a mom, multitasker, or human with a real life who wants more visibility without burning out, this episode will feel like permission to show up as you are.

  • 169: Hustle-Free Visibility: How I Filled a Paid Workshop With 150 Buyers While Overseas

    In this behind-the-scenes episode, Steph pulls back the curtain on her most recent launch and shares exactly how she packed her virtual room without the usual hustle. 

    While she was literally on a coaching retreat in England, her ads were working around the clock to find new people and fill her stage.

    This isn't your typical launch story. Steph breaks down her real numbers including her ad spend that brought in 162 new people in her world and over $18,000 in total revenue (and counting). 

    She's finally cracked the code on sustainable visibility.

    You'll hear Steph's honest confession about why she avoided ads for years, the turning point that changed everything, and the five biggest lessons she wishes she'd learned sooner.

  • 168: Pitchfork Marketing & Ending the "Anti-Coach Era"

    In this week's episode, Steph delivers a fiery hot take that's been brewing all year: the dangerous trend of "pitchfork marketing" and how it's keeping brilliant women small, scared, and self-doubting.

    If you've ever seen successful coaches torn apart online, called "scammers" or "predatory" simply for charging premium prices, this episode will hit home. Steph breaks down how this anti-coach rhetoric has become an attention strategy that ironically does more harm than the "predators" it claims to expose.

    This conversation is a must-listen if you've ever thought:

    "Am I charging too much? 

    What if people think I'm a scam?" 

    "Maybe I should lower my prices so I don't upset anyone." 

    "I don't want to end up getting canceled."

    Steph shares her own costly experience of shrinking back from a $80K job because she fell for this narrative, and why 2026 needs to be the year we stop telling women to stay small.

  • 167: The Ultimate 2026 Business Plan: 4 Gaps Between You and Consistent Revenue

    If you want consistent revenue in 2026 but keep hitting the same plateau, this episode is your wake-up call.

    Steph breaks down the four planning gaps that quietly keep entrepreneurs stuck under their goals — even multi-six-figure business owners who should "know better." These aren't strategy problems or motivation issues. They're architecture problems.

    You'll hear:

    • Why looking back is essential before planning forward (and what you're missing when you skip this step)
    • The identity work that makes your plan actually stick instead of falling apart by February
    • How to architect your year so every launch builds momentum instead of starting fresh
    • Why your content isn't creating demand — and the simple shift that fixes it

    If you're ready to stop winging it and start building the rhythm your business needs, Steph's Year on the Wall training is happening soon.

  • 166: 5 Lessons From My Record-Breaking Launch (And How To Apply Them in 2026)

    At the time of recording, my biggest launch ever wasn’t even over yet—and I couldn’t wait to share the five lessons already shaping how I’ll do business in 2026 and beyond.

    In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on what it really takes to lead, sell, and stay steady when the world feels uncertain. We’re talking about:

    • Why the quiet middle of a launch decides everything
    • How belief isn’t fluff—it’s strategy
    • The danger of reinventing the wheel mid-launch
    • What real leadership looks like when the world feels heavy
    • Why your brain will break (and how coaching saves you every time)

    Whether you’re in the middle of your own launch or gearing up for a new year of growth, this episode will remind you that exceptional results are still possible—yes, even in 2025.

  • 165: Mara Signed Three $6K Clients & Exploded Her Audience in 30 Days

    In this episode, Steph sits down with Sold Out Group Programs client Mara Eller, a writing coach, book coach, and former English teacher who recently left her 11-year teaching career to run her business full-time.

    Just weeks after rejoining the mastermind, Mara (@mara.eller on Instagram) went from 1,300 Instagram followers (where she'd been stuck for two years) to over 5,000 — and more importantly, signed three $6K book coaching clients in a single month.

    Her secret? A Taylor Swift post that went viral with 450,000 views on TikTok.

    But here's what makes this story different: the viral moment didn't create Mara's success. It revealed what was already built.

    If you've been putting in the reps and wondering when it's going to pay off, this episode will remind you: the breakthrough is closer than you think.

  • 163: How Brian Went From 1 to 7 Clients in 2 Months

    In this episode, Steph sits down with returning Sold Out Group Programs client Brian G. Murphy (@thisisbgm), author of "Love Beyond Monogamy" and certified relationship coach who completely transformed his coaching practice in just two months.

    After putting client work on pause to write his book, Brian rejoined the mastermind ready to rebuild. But he was starting from scratch - burnt out on sales calls, no sales page, and only one consistent client.

    With Steph's coffee chat strategy and mindset work, Brian went from feeling rusty and uncertain to signing 7 new one-on-one clients in just 60 days.

    This conversation is a must-listen if you've ever thought:

    "I'm too burnt out on sales calls to start again." 

    "I don't even know what to put on a sales page right now." 

    "I need to get back in practice before I can sell confidently."
