Email marketing is FAR from dead! In fact it's thriving with a side dish of reality TV drama these past few weeks since Kit hiked their prices. 😂

If you're wondering which email platform is actually worth it in 2025 — this episode is for you. I’m breaking down the recent Kit pricing drama, comparing top ESPs like Flodesk and Beehiiv, and sharing exactly how I help my coaching clients choose the right tools for their business stage.

Even if you're not an email marketer, listen in because email is still the highest-ROI channel we’ve got. 

Connection, storytelling, sales - it all starts here.

Let’s simplify the tech, get clear on your next move, and make sure your marketing actually supports your mission.

You’ll Learn:

• What happened with Kit’s sudden price jump 
• How Flodesk, Beehiiv, and Kit compare (the real pros + cons)
• Whether an all-in-one platform like Kajabi or Systeme.io is right for you
• The exact advice I give my clients when choosing an ESP
• Why email still matters (and how to make it work for your business)

And, if you're looking for a simple, step-by-step program to help you clarify your signature offer and build the two main essential marketing funnels every business needs - a lead gen funnel and a sales funnel - then look no further! 

Foundations Group Program and Mastermind is open and enrolling.

Trying every funnel under the sun? Freebies, DMs, webinars, ads… but not sure which one is actually going to work? Been there and honestly, trying to do it all is the fastest path to burnout.

In this episode I break down what’s really working in 2025 for coaches, consultants, and service providers who sell high-ticket offers. Whether you run a wellness studio, design websites, or coach clients through a transformation, funnels can feel like a maze. But the truth is, the highest-converting pathways are surprisingly simple.

Deborah shares the three top funnel strategies that are delivering results right now, along with the step-by-step setup and tech tools you need for each one:

✨ Webinar → Discovery Call → Enrollment
✨ Pinterest/Blog → Lead Magnet → Nurture → Call
✨ Speaking Opportunities → QR Code → Freebie → Follow-Up

You’ll walk away knowing why these still work and some ideas as to which funnel pathway might best align with your business, your audience, and your energy - so you can stop overcomplicating things and start converting.

Ready to ditch the pressure tactics and sell with soul?

In this episode, I'm breaking down a smarter, more conscious way to use urgency and deadlines in your offers — without creating FOMO or burnout. You'll learn how to inspire action using truth, transparency, and value that actually serves your audience.

We’ll cover:
 → What "ethical inspiration" really means
 → The 5 key components of aligned urgency
 → Why rewarding action beats punishing hesitation
 → Real-world examples from Amy Porterfield, Stu McLaren, and inside my own private podcast strategy

⚡Plus: I’ll walk you through how to craft a bonus or time-sensitive offer that motivates your audience to move — because it helps them win, not because they’re afraid to miss out.

Being good at what you do isn’t enough these days. 

You also have to be seen doing it. 

In this deeply personal episode, I share how fear of being visible nearly paralyzed me during my business pivot, the childhood wounds that shaped that fear, and how people-pleasing sabotages premium client attraction. 

If the thought of going live on Insta or making slick VSL's makes you cringe or hide, this episode will crack something open and help you reclaim your voice.

Plus: I reveal the full outline for my upcoming private podcast, the Premium Client Energetic Self-Audit. 

This includes 6 short episodes of zero-fluff tools and practices to help you clear away the blocks so you can open up the flow to sell your offers joyfully.

Have you ever felt that gut-twisting fear:What if I do share my offer and no one buys? What if I’m not worth it?

In this powerful first episode of my new mini-series, The Energetics of Successful Sales, I’m pulling back the curtain on how our hidden fears about worth and self-value show up in our pricing, our marketing, and the way we serve our clients.

I’m sharing some raw and vulnerable stories from my own journey — from undercharging and overdelivering to burning out and finally learning to stand fully in my worth. We’ll talk about the energetics of “trying,” “proving,” and “needing” — and why they push away the premium clients you want to attract.

If you’re ready to release your pricing shame, expand your capacity to receive, and market with calm confidence, this is your invitation to join me for the deep inner work.

Exclusive invite: I created a private podcast for those who want to go deeper with this work. It's called the Premium Client Energetic Self-Audit and it's 6 short episodes of zero-fluff tools and practices to help you clear away the blocks so you can open up the flow to sell your offers joyfully.
