  • 141: The Real Cost of "Figuring It Out On Your Own"

    Feeling like the "responsible thing" is to save your money & figure it all out on your own? In this episode, we’re breaking down the hidden cost of waiting, second-guessing, and staying stuck in almost-there mode.

    If you’ve been saying things like:

    • "Things are fine…"
    • "I’m making some sales…"
    • "I’ll figure this out on my own…"
    • "I want to be a good steward of my money…"

    This one’s for you.

    We’ll talk about:

    • Why it’s so tempting to stay the course when it’s not a full-blown emergency
    • The real risk of kicking the can down the road
    • How “maybe later” often turns into another 6-12 months of spinning your wheels
    • What true stewardship of your business actually looks like

    If you’ve been thinking about joining the Sold Out Group Programs Mastermind, doors are open until Wednesday, July 2. 

    And—because I want your investment to be a strategic one—you can also grab my free Group Program Revenue Calculator to run your own numbers and see exactly what it would take to cover your investment.

  • 139: No More Avoiding Objections: How Melody Reignited Her Group Program Sales

    Melody Wilding launched her group program back in 2020 using Steph’s (now retired course), Crickets to Customers.

    Since then, over 500 people have joined her group program.

    But after a few years of full cohorts and overflowing interest… things started to slow down. Getting people to join suddenly felt harder.

    Melody realized she needed a new approach to selling. One that embraced objections, spoke directly to the transformation people wanted, and brought real connection back into her launches. That’s where Sold Out Group Programs came in.

    In this powerful conversation, Melody returns to where it all began, now as a bestselling author and multi-six-figure business owner, to share how she reignited momentum and confidence in a changed market.

    We dive into:

    • What happens when you're doing “all the right things” (webinars, emails, promos)... but missing the conversations that actually convert
    • How Melody went from resisting objections to welcoming them
    • Why strengthening her mindset around the value of her offer was the key to selling it more confidently
    • What it’s really like to be a high-level client inside a group coaching experience (and why it’s been exactly what she needed to scale)

    This is a masterclass in staying power: from launching a program five years ago to selling it out again and again in today’s market.

  • 137: How Jennet Went From 3 Client Group Launches to 13

    Jennet Ingle is a professional oboist and coach for musician entrepreneurs. 

    She had a proven offer, a program she knew could change lives...but after a few strong launches during the pandemic, things slowed. A lot. 

    "It was working, until it wasn't."

    She tried reinventing the wheel. Throwing together quick offers. Hoping for the best. And she was starting to wonder...was her audience just tapped out?

    Inside Sold Out Group Programs, Jennet learned to slow down, stretch her launch timeline, and use "the ripple" strategy to sell to the warm leads already paying attention.

    The result?
    ✅ 13 amazing clients in her group
    ✅ Half enrolled before the launch event
    ✅ Confidence to personally invite the right people (without feeling pushy)

    In this episode, Jennet shares the full story—plus what it’s really like to join Sold Out Group Programs, including her honest take on being “the new kid” in a high-touch space. (Spoiler: it worked out just fine 😉)

  • 136: 5 Reasons Group Programs Fail...(& How to Bullet-Proof Yours)

    Ever launched a group that didn’t fill… or filled but flopped? 

    Or maybe you haven’t launched one at all because it feels like there’s just so much to figure out.

    In this episode, I’m walking you through the 5 biggest detours I see entrepreneurs hit when it comes to group programs.

    Things like overbuilding (hi, 80-page workbook), underpricing, teaching too much (inside and outside the program), and something I call “support tunnel vision.”

    Whether you’ve run a group before or you’re just starting to explore the idea, this episode will help you spot the real reasons group programs underperform, and what to do instead.

    This is the kind of clarity that helps you stop spinning and start building a group that actually gets results (for your clients and your bottom line).

  • 135: from Burnt-Out CEO to 100K+ Group Launch with Richard Low

    In this episode, I’m sitting down with Dr. Richard Low, a former dentist who built a thriving group program helping mid-career dentists get their health, and lives,  back on track.

    Richard opens up about the real story behind his burnout after leading a 35-office dental group, how he made the tough call to walk away, and the unexpected path that led him to launch a brand new business (without a website, funnel, or social media following).

    We talk through:

    • The power of sharing a real story that meets your audience where they are (and how Richard’s viral post brought in 70+ leads)
    • What it looked like to sell $100K+ before the program was built
    • Why group programs offer freedom and flexibility that 1:1 models just can’t...
    • What happens after a big launch (and how we’re coaching him through the next season)
    • A raw, honest look at the pressure to do content “right” and how perfectionism gets in the way of growth
    • Why messy action still works in 2025, and how we build businesses that fit real lives.

    If you’ve ever wondered whether you need the perfect funnel, full curriculum, or huge audience before you launch… this one is for you.

  • 133: From Client Drought to Sold Out: Katelyn's Group Program Breakthrough

    In this powerful episode, Steph sits down with Katelyn Denning, life & executive coach for working moms, to share a real, behind-the-scenes look at what it actually takes to go from a client drought to a sold-out group program.

    Katelyn is a member of the Sold Out Group Programs Mastermind, and her journey is textbook transformation: from wondering if she’d need to get a job again… to filling her one-on-one roster… to launching a group program that exceeded her “best case” goal.

    You'll hear about:

    • What caused Caitlin’s client drought, and how she turned it around
    • How shifting from 1:1 to group helped her scale with ease
    • The exact steps she followed to launch (and sell out) her group offer
    • How she rebuilt belief in her business and found her momentum again

    If you’ve ever questioned whether group programs could work for your business, especially if you don’t sell business coaching, this episode will show you what’s possible when strategy meets self-belief.
