Her First 3 Years - A podcast for women entrepreneurs

***This is a special encore of one of the most popular episodes on figuring out your next step for your business vision.
 
If you've heard it before, you'll still want to listen in because it helps you rethink the direction you want to go forward.***

The original episode 88:

Your business can be successful and still feel off. We’re exploring how to know when you’ve outgrown your business and how to scale a business without burnout for your next level.

Feel like your business still works, but you’re just not feeling it anymore?

Sometimes, it’s not about quitting or failing, it's just that you’ve outgrown your current path. After pouring so much energy into your business, it’s hard to accept that it doesn’t align with your life or vibe anymore.

I’ve been there…questioning what to do next, feeling so much fear about leaving something behind that I nurtured into existence. That constant back and forth is exhausting!

That’s why this solo episode is all about taking you to your next level of business, whether that’s a new niche, new audience or just a new work-life balance.

Get ready to Refine. Realign and Rebuild…but we’re going to make it a lot less scary for you in this conversation!

Because I truly wish that I had trusted myself to shift things sooner.

This episode is for you if...

• you’re craving a more sustainable way to grow
• wondering how to scale a business without burnout
• or feeling the pull to pivot your niche, your offers, or your entire way of doing business. 

Because scaling isn’t always about getting bigger. Sometimes it’s about getting truer, calmer, smarter, and far less glued to your phone.

In this entrepreneurship podcast episode:

• Why your business can be working and still feel wrong 
• The signs you’ve outgrown your current business model 
•  How to scale a business without burnout 
• What it means to realign success with your life 
• Why pivoting can be your smartest next move

Listen for…

Inspiration to go find what gives you that spark or that freedom again!

Have you ever thought...I can help someone do amazing things, but I just have no idea how to market myself?

This is unfortunately the weakness of so many incredible coaches, therapists and mentors who make a difference in people's lives...but struggle to promote their work. 

This mini episode is challenging the idea that you "suck at business" and what it really takes to get better.

***This is a special encore of one of the most popular episodes on the podcast on branding.
 
If you've heard it before, you'll still want to listen in because it's a major confidence boost!***

The original episode 63..

You weren’t made to stay small.

And if you're tired of walking the tightrope between being liked and being heard—this episode is for you. 

Because how to be more confident in yourself doesn’t start with fixing who you are. It starts with unlearning the stories that told you to shrink.

We’re joined by Lauren Currie—serial entrepreneur behind six businesses and founder of UPFRONT—who’s on a mission to help 10 million women build unshakable confidence and change leadership from the inside out.

If you’re navigating what it means to be a leader or founder, you already know the unspoken rules: be confident, but not too confident. Be strong, but still likeable. This conversation will help you redefine success on your terms.

Lauren shares what it really  takes to become the most confident version of you—and why confident women will upset people (and why that’s ok).

In this episode:
 

• How to Build Confidence (For Real): The 3 mindset shifts that make confidence a daily practice—not a personality trait.
   
   
• Ditch the Likeability Trap: Why being palatable is keeping you stuck—and how to fully embrace ALL of you.
   
   
• Rewrite the Rules for Women in Business: How to lead without shrinking and be more confident in yourself in all areas.
   
   

This isn’t another fluffy pep talk. It’s a rally for women who are ready to own their power.

Are you investing everything you have in rented (online) land?

Why do we put everything we have into one platform that we don’t even own? It just doesn’t make good business sense (let alone the headaches involved.) 

This mini episode is challenging you to think about where BESIDES social media can you go for social proof, client attraction and searchability (e.g. google recommends you to your ideal audience.)

The original episode 69...

You’re not ready…you’ll mess it up…you’re missing something everyone else has.”

Uffff....how many times do we hear that rolling non-stop in our minds as entrepreneurs and creatives?

We're diving into 3 BIG entrepreneur mindset blocks that hold us hostage in comparison, procrastination and regret. 

And to show just how unpolished every entrepreneur's journey really is....

I share the messy, unfiltered story of losing everything in my business in 2020—then choosing to create anyway (including the decision to start a podcast with no money, no plan, and a lot of failing).

✨ In this episode:

• Sneaky Fears that Hold Us Back: How to tell when your “wait until later” logic is actually fear in disguise.

• The Scrappy Advantage: Why not having a big budget or team might secretly be the best thing for you.

• Intentional Energy: The mindset shift that lets you put soul and strategy into whatever you create next.

🎧 Listen now for a cheeky pep talk on what’s holding you back (and how to move anyway).

Jenny also shares how to grow an email list with a lead magnet people genuinely want and how therapists and service providers can create more sustainable income besides one-to-one sessions.

• The story skills you need for building a personal brand 
• How to grow an email list where people actually open messages
• What the new customer journey looks like since AI

Listen for...
A little permission to stop doing what every online-business guru insists you “must” do—and start building around your actual audience and strengths instead.
