  • 158: [Part 1] The 3 Gaps Keeping You From Selling Out

    Every problem in your business can be traced back to one of three gaps: not enough people seeing you, not enough of them caring, or not enough saying yes.
     In this kickoff episode of my 4 part "3 Gaps" Mini Series, I’ll help you diagnose which one is keeping you stuck — because once you know which lever to pull, everything in your business makes sense again.

    If you’re tired of spinning your wheels and ready for consistent, sold-out launches, this episode is your starting point.

  • 157: Best Month Yet: The Simple Strategy That Took Charlotte to Record Revenue

    In this episode, Steph chats with Sold Out Group Programs client Charlotte Ellis Maldari, founder of Kaffeen.co, a UK-based marketing consultancy that helps creative agencies, consultants, and service providers attract clients through authority building.

    When Charlotte joined the mastermind just three months ago, she was coming off an 18-month dry spell. Despite years of experience and strong offers, she felt like a key piece was missing in her business. 

    Within 90 days, she built a clear 120-day plan, launched multiple offers, and created her best month ever, hitting £28K in revenue two and a half months before her original goal.

    Charlotte shares exactly what changed, how she rediscovered momentum, and why focusing on both visibility and nurturing her audience made all the difference.

    You’ll hear:

    • The 120-day plan that helped Charlotte go from stuck to record sales
    • How the Buzz Blitz launch framework helped her fill 1:1 services
    • The mindset shifts behind consistent sales and real momentum
    • Why visible goals, practical systems, and celebration create compounding results

    Charlotte’s story is a powerful reminder that growth doesn’t come from doing more—it comes from doing the right things with clarity, consistency, and support.

  • 156: How to Show Up on 5x the Platforms Without 5x the Effort

    You don’t need more effort to grow your visibility. You need more creativity.

    In this episode, Steph explains how to show up on five times the platforms without five times the effort. Most entrepreneurs are trying to outwork their way to momentum, but what actually moves the needle isn’t hustle — it’s learning to think like a creator again.

    This is part three of The New Rules of Launching series, and it’s all about how to stay in creative flow when it’s time to show up and sell. You’ll learn how to take one idea and let it live in multiple forms across your platforms — without feeling like a content machine or repurposing robot.

    You’ll hear:

    • The difference between effort and creativity (and why creativity multiplies results)
    • Why mechanical repurposing doesn’t work anymore — and what to do instead
    • Steph’s real-life example of turning one spark into content for five platforms in one day
    • A simple method for capturing your best ideas and shaping them for email, podcast, and social
    • How to stop feeling behind and start trusting your creative energy again

    If you’ve been trying to “be everywhere” and it’s left you exhausted, this episode will feel like a breath of fresh air. You’ll walk away with a new way to stay visible, inspired, and connected — without burning out.

  • 155: From 3 to 15 Clients: Renee 5x'd Her Group During "Busy Season"

    In this week’s episode, Steph sits down with Sold Out Group Programs client and professional violinist & educator Dr. Renée-Paule Gauthier (@mindoverfinger), who completely turned her group program around in the middle of one of her busiest seasons ever.

    Renee runs Music Mastery Experience, a group program helping musicians master performance and mindset. Before joining the mastermind, her launches had stalled despite her deep experience and strong client results. 

    With Steph’s Buzz Blitz launch system, she realigned her messaging, simplified her challenge, and saw her next launch jump from 3 clients to 15, a 5x increase.

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

     “I’m too busy to focus on launching right now.”
     “I already have a great offer, why isn’t it selling?”
     "I’m tired of piecing things together on my own.”

    Renee shares how she simplified her launch, reconnected with her voice, and hit her best results ever while performing with the Chicago Symphony and raising kids.

    You’ll hear:

    • The simple tweaks that helped Renee 5x her enrollment
    • Why simplifying your launch event often increases conversions
    • How to use the Buzz Blitz system to build momentum even with limited time
    • The power of combining business strategy and mindset alignment
