Dynamic Women®

Before you work any harder towards your goals this fall, there's one question worth asking first: are you actually chasing what you want?

Listen as our host, Diane Rolston, gets honest about something ambitious women rarely stop to examine: the goals they're pursuing that were never really theirs to begin with. She shares why the friction you're feeling might not be a discipline problem at all.

Listen to learn these key takeaways:

• Why ambitious women are great at setting goals, but not every goal comes from a genuine desire (some come from expectations, comparison, or simply being the next logical step)
• Why Diane quit a commitment even though she invested money, made a plan, and had committed, and what Diane's coach asked that changed everything
• The difference between not wanting to do something and not wanting the outcome, and why that distinction matters more than you think
• What "should goals" actually sound like and why they feel heavy even when they sound impressive
• Why women often assume they're procrastinating when they might actually be resisting a goal that doesn't belong to them
• The connection to Chasing: the spark that says "she stopped listening to me years ago", and what that means for the goals you're quietly ignoring
• The client who wanted a promotion, and what doing the Wheel of Life revealed was actually underneath that goal
• Why carrying the wrong goals into a busy season just creates more pressure, and why the fall is the perfect time to pause and check in
• The reminder that sometimes the goal doesn't need to be dropped. It just needs to be achieved a different way (or made even bigger)
• The truth about friction: a goal you don't actually want will fight you every step of the way, and no amount of discipline can fix that

Have you ever felt like you're getting things done, reaching your goals, and other people look at you thinking, "Wow, she's doing amazingly," and yet you still feel behind?

Listen as our host, Diane Rolston, unpacks something she sees constantly in high-achieving women: being successful on paper but not feeling successful. She gets honest about why accomplishing a lot doesn't always feel like enough and what's really going on underneath.

Listen to learn these key takeaways:

• The podcast award moment: being ranked number 17 out of 50 and what Diane's brain immediately jumped to instead of celebrating
• Why high-achieving women reach one goal and almost immediately move the finish line
• The year Diane said, "I didn't accomplish much" and what the coaches around her said that stopped her cold
• The client who kept collecting certifications and training before feeling ready to run workshops and what she actually needed that no certification could give her
• The sprinter who was asked to run the 1,500 and why comparing your pace to someone else's race makes no sense
• What happened when a client and his two friends sold a company for 75 million dollars and why he felt bad
• The client who said her next step was a promotion at work and the real answer she gave when Diane asked what would actually make her happy
• Why the problem isn't goals or achievement. It's the question we never stop long enough to ask
• The connection to Diane’s one-woman show Chasing: what happens when success doesn't feel the way we thought it would
• What the gap between success and satisfaction is really telling you and why outrunning it doesn't work

Maybe you aren't behind after all. Maybe you've just stopped noticing how far you've come. She's Goaled Coaching Mastermind doors are open now, closing September 4th at 11:59 pm Pacific. Apply here: https://shes-goaled-coaching-mastermind.dynamicwomen.biz/

What if the reason you haven't reached your goal has nothing to do with motivation? Would that make you happy or annoyed?

Listen as our host, Diane Rolston, gets honest about something most coaches won't admit and reframes the entire conversation around what's actually keeping you stuck. She makes the case that you don't have a motivation problem at all, and that could be a big relief.

Listen to learn these key takeaways:

• Why motivation is a feeling, not a strategy and why you can't rely on it to carry a 6-month, 1-year, or 5-year goal
• The book writing story: what Diane was missing that had nothing to do with motivation and what finally got it done
• Why losing motivation doesn't mean you picked the wrong goal, you're lazy, or you're failing.
• The first thing you're probably missing instead of motivation and why vague goals are impossible to act on no matter how inspired you feel
• The comparison trap Diane fell into while managing a business with two kids under three and what her coach said that completely reframed it
• Why we create plans for the fantasy version of our lives instead of our real ones and what it costs us
• Why following through for someone else is so much easier than following through for yourself and how to use that
• The simple reframe: you don't have a motivation problem, you have a clarity, plan, or support problem

Are you a female entrepreneur wondering how to price your products and services, and hating getting to the end of the year only to realize you didn't make as much profit as you wanted?

Listen as our host, Diane Rolston, sits down with Katy Baker, CPA and founder of Pricing for Profit, whom Diane met pitching on stage at Web Summit.

Diane brings in this pricing expert to talk about one of the most common and quietly devastating problems female entrepreneurs face.

Listen to learn these key takeaways:

• The personal story behind why Katy became obsessed with pricing and the painful business experience that taught her a lesson she only needed to learn once
• The comments clients say when they walk in the door that are clear signs a business isn't charging enough
• The most common myth weighing female entrepreneurs down and why it keeps them stuck even when they have a full client list
• What happens when Katy reverse-engineers the pricing question with clients and the gut punch moment that changes everything
• Why some founders wear "not paying myself" as a badge of honour, and the personal and family cost that's quietly happening behind the scenes
• The two red flags that signal your current pricing model is eroding your profitability right now
• What Katy calls a "conspicuous omission" in our education system and why it's leaving entrepreneurs financially vulnerable
• The difference between knowing your floor and value pricing and why you can't have one without the other
• The Sunday afternoon story: one client, one contract, one conversation and an $8,000 difference from what she was going to charge
• Katie's final message for every founder who says "I'm not a numbers person"

Katy’s Bio:

Katy Baker is a CPA, CMA and holds her CITP designation. Katy is passionate about demystifying and democratizing financial literacy and pricing for entrepreneurs.

To that end, Katy has built a self-serve platform that guides users through the steps to understand their capacity, income goals, and all the costs of being in business, so they can price confidently and profitably. Drawing on years of consulting and workshop facilitation, Katy translates complex financial concepts into clear, practical tools for founders. She primarily coaches women entrepreneurs, helping them move from “guessing and hoping” to data‑informed, value-based pricing.

Katy’s Social Media links:

How many times have you said "I'll start that in January" or "I'll get to it when things calm down"? If you've ever pushed your goals to a future date that never quite arrives, this episode is your wake-up call.

Our host, Diane Rolston, gets real about the problem with waiting for someday and why the timing you're waiting for is probably just procrastination dressed up as good planning.

Listen to learn these key takeaways:

• Why being busy and moving forward are two completely different things and how to tell which one you're actually doing
• The real reason we wait for the "perfect time" that has nothing to do with timing at all
• The question to ask yourself before you decide whether your reason for waiting is valid or just a good excuse
• Where your most important goals actually land on your priority list and why they'll keep getting pushed back until you do something about it
• The jar story applied to your goals: why filling your day with everything else first guarantees there's no room left for what matters most
• Why Diane’s book sat for a year, and her podcast kept getting delayed and what finally forced both to happen
• The problem with asking yourself "why am I procrastinating?" and the better questions to ask instead
• Why you might not actually have a discipline problem at all and what might really be going on
• The three things that are often missing when goals stay stuck, and none of them are motivation
• Why adding five new goals is exactly the wrong move and what to do instead

Coming up next: why you probably don't need more motivation to reach your goals and what you might actually be missing instead.

Have you ever thought about getting better-targeted marketing and a strategy that can actually move your business forward without a massive budget?

Listen as Diane sits down with Sarah, founder of Neon Compliant, who discovered the surprising secret hiding in something most business owners completely overlook.

Our host, Diane Rolston, met Sarah at Web Summit after cheering on her pitch and brought her on to share how small businesses and nonprofits can finally access the kind of data that was previously only available to big companies.

Listen to learn these key takeaways:

• The frustration that sparked Neon Compliant: why the people who needed data the most kept being told it was too expensive and out of reach
• How something as simple as a postal code can paint a vivid picture of exactly who your customer is and what their neighbourhood vibe is like
• The 33 proprietary personas: how they connect to your existing orders and why they make your ideal customer unforgettable rather than forgettable
• Why direct mail isn't dead and the statistic about nonprofits that will completely change how you think about it
• The coupon campaign story: how one test reduced the number of pieces sent by 90% while still achieving 25% of the return (and what that means for ROI)
• Why Sarah hired comedy writers instead of data analysts to write her personas and the East Vancouver Tesla story that explains everything
• The "boring version for your board" and why making marketing memorable actually changes whether people use the data or let it get buried in their downloads folder
• The 12-week founder program that completely transformed what Neon Compliant is and what it could do, and why Sarah says she'd be in a totally different spot without it
• The autism diagnosis that came through her son, and how understanding her own brain turned what felt like a limitation into something she now works with instead of against
• Sarah's favourite free conversation: figuring out what data you already have that you could be using right now

SPECIAL OFFER: Your first 10,000 postal codes analyzed for FREE at www.neoncompliant.com for many small businesses, that covers them for a very long time. Use the code DYNAMICWOMEN.

If you want a free 15-30 minute chat with Sarah about what data you could be using in your business, take her up on it, but sign up first so you can test the platform before you connect!

Sarah’s Bio:

Sarah’s career spans national marketing leadership at a major Canadian QSR brand, a SaaS company helping brands across North America use data for site selection, and most recently, marketing strategy consulting for nonprofits. The common thread: leveraging data to build smarter, more efficient marketing strategies.

Her new startup, Neon Compliant, tackles a problem she’s seen up close — SMBs and nonprofits lack the people and budget to access and use targeting data typically only available to large orgs at high costs. With cost pressures higher than ever, Neon Compliant exists to share those insights to all orgs.

What if the thing keeping you stuck isn't a lack of talent, but the belief that you have to be ready before anyone sees your work?

Listen as our host, Diane Rolston, shares what she learned from letting people see her unfinished one-woman show and why none of the lessons are really about theater.

She reflects on her recent read-through of Chasing Enough and unpacks what it revealed about perfectionism, progress, and the courage to create before you're ready.

Listen to learn these key takeaways:

• Why waiting for perfect might actually be preventing your progress and the unexpected thing that happens when you bring something finished versus something still in progress to an audience
• The book cover story that changed everything and why isolating yourself while creating is costing you more than you think
• What people are actually thinking before you share something you're nervous about (it's probably not what your inner critic is telling you)
• The one reframe that makes feedback stop feeling like a report card and why Diane went into the read-through knowing she wouldn't get 100%
• The things we obsess over in our own work versus what audiences actually notice and the major piece Diane completely missed that her audience pointed out immediately
• Why Diane never creates a program before she's sold it first and how that same principle applies to almost everything you're building
• The powerful reversal that changes everything: you don't become ready and then share your work. You become ready because you shared your work.
• One question to sit with: what's your version of an unfinished play, and what would happen if you let one trusted person see it today?

Maybe the thing you're waiting to be perfect doesn't need another month in your head. Maybe it just needs one courageous moment in the real world.

If you've been following Diane's journey writing a one-woman show, her play Chasing Enough met an audience for the very first time last week and it was terrifying, vulnerable, and incredibly valuable all at once.

Our host, Diane Rolston, shares what happened when 21 people sat down to hear an unfinished, unpolished script that no one outside her writing coach had ever heard before.

Listen to learn these key takeaways:

• What a read-through actually is and why Diane chose to do one far earlier than most theatre people would recommend
• The unexpected risk she took during the read-through that made it more than just reading (and why she did it anyway)
• Who she invited and why the composition of that room was a very deliberate decision
• The surprising moments that landed more powerfully than she ever intended and the ones that didn't land at all
• What the audience's laughter (and silence) revealed that she never could have known from just reading the script herself
• The ending that didn't hit the way she hoped, and what she's now going back to fix
• Why one scene she loved is getting fully cut, one cut scene is going back in, and what that teaches us about the difference between what creators love and what audiences connect with
• The "show don't tell" lesson she keeps learning: the balance between explanation and experience that makes the difference between a TED talk and theatre
• Why filming from the back instead of the front was not enough
• The creative idea she added the night before, and what the audience said about it (she's not telling you what it was, you'll have to experience it LIVE)

Coming up next: what Diane learned by letting people see her work before it was ready, and why, if you have perfectionism, you won't want to miss it.

As a recovering perfectionist and former competitive athlete, it feels so weird for our host, Diane Rolston, to say, “Winning isn't everything.”

If you've ever wanted something so badly that the outcome became the only thing that mattered, this episode is for you.

She shares a conversation sparked by her son's sports seasons that turned into a powerful lesson about the difference between results-based and process-based goals and why one might be quietly stealing your joy.

Listen to learn these key takeaways:

• The car ride home after a loss: what her son said when Diane asked if he had fun and the important conversation it opened up
• Why results-based goals can be incredibly motivating but also set you up for something most high achievers don't see coming
• The emerging artist showcase story: how one small change to the prize structure completely transformed Diane's experience and what it revealed about pressure and performance
• The factor that results-based goals can never account for
• What process-based goals actually look like in business: the shift from "did the launch work?" to something far more empowering and within your control
• Why the coach's comment to one player after the loss stood out more than anything else that day
• How to apply this to health, love, finances, and business goals and why you don't have to choose between the two
• The Olympic training question: if you're only motivated by the gold medal, what happens to the four years in between?
• The powerful reframe for your next launch, sales call, or event registration and why the numbers aren't the only measure of success
• One question to sit with: What would still make you proud even if the result doesn't go your way?

The real win might be who you become in the process. This week, choose one process goal you can control, and if you get the result, that's just icing on the cake.

Are you a woman going through a divorce who can't afford a lawyer? Did you know you can use AI to help defend yourself?

Listen in as our host, Diane Rolston, sits down with Ana Lissansky, founder of Alice in Legal Wonderland, a platform specifically built for the people the legal system has completely forgotten about.

Diane met Ana at Web Summit when she boldly ran up and pitched herself, and the conversation that followed is one you need to hear.

Listen to learn these key takeaways:

• The staggering reality of what a contested divorce actually costs and why most women in the disadvantaged position just give up and walk away from what they're entitled to
• Why Ana represented herself through a three-year process, including an 11-day trial and what gave her the confidence to do it
• The hallucination problem: why you can't just use ChatGPT for legal matters and what Ana built to solve it
• The legal strategy Ana used that most lawyers deliberately avoid and how it dramatically changed the shape of her trial
• The moment she corrected the judge three times in court and why having the right tools made that possible
• Why there are over 700 AI tools built for lawyers but barely a dozen for the people who actually need help most
• The "forgotten middle": who falls through the cracks of the legal system and why legal aid isn't the answer for most women
• What to say from day one of your case if you're using AI and how transparency actually protects you
• The simulation feature coming to Alice: how it will help you make informed decisions before spending years and thousands of dollars finding out the hard way
• Ana's final message about lawyers, judges, and the accountability gap nobody talks about

Ana’s Bio:

Ana Lissansky has always been an early adopter of technology. Recently, as a single mother navigating a contested divorce, she began using AI tools to support her case because she could not afford a lawyer while facing her ex’s legal team. She self-represented during an 11-day trial and learned firsthand that AI can sometimes generate inaccurate information. That experience inspired her to launch Alice in Legal Wonderland, a not-for-profit organization dedicated to helping self-represented litigants use AI more effectively and responsibly. She is currently building partnerships with verifiable AI companies that prioritize accuracy and transparency by admitting when they “don’t know” instead of generating false information.
