What does it really take to show up, lead powerfully, and grow your business in 2026?

In this powerful conversation, I’m joined by holistic business coach and course creator Danni Vee to talk about the mindset and identity shifts that truly move the needle - especially if you're launching or scaling online. We go beyond surface-level success and dive into the fears, patterns, and self-leadership practices that make or break sustainable growth.

If you’ve ever found yourself overthinking your first launch, second-guessing your next move, or quietly playing small, this episode is for you.

Inside this episode:

• The 3 fears that silently block women from showing up and scaling
• The difference between service and people-pleasing (especially for coaches)
• How to navigate launch emotions, setbacks, and perfectionism
• Why self-leadership is the foundation of business growth

Tune in for a grounded, inspiring, and very real chat about mindset, energy, and the version of you that your next level business is waiting for.

Enjoy the episode,

In this behind-the-scenes episode, I’m sharing the real talk on three things I did in my most recent launch that I won't be doing again.

While it ended up being my least favourite launch to date, it came with some very valuable lessons that will shape how I launch moving forward. And that’s the thing about launching: you can only learn by doing. Sitting on the sidelines won’t give you the clarity, momentum, or insight that taking action does.

Inside this episode:

• Why I won’t be doing three webinars in one launch again (and what I’ll do instead)
• An offer decision that seemed like a no-brainer, but led to unexpected objections
• Why I had to extend the cart mid-launch, and what I learnt as a result

This episode will give you honest insights, practical takeaways, and permission to do things your way.

What if imposter syndrome wasn’t something to fix…but something to work with?

In this powerful episode, I’m joined by mindset and sales coach Christine Corcoran, bestselling author of Turn Imposter Syndrome into Your Superpower, to unpack how feelings of self-doubt can actually be the key to next-level growth.

We explore what imposter syndrome really is (hint: it’s not just a lack of confidence), how to use it to your advantage in business, and why some of your boldest moves might only happen because of imposter syndrome. 

Inside this episode:

• Why imposter syndrome isn’t always a bad thing, and how it can signal your next level
• The reason high-achieving women feel self-doubt (and what to do when it shows up)
• How to take bold, aligned action even when you don’t feel ready

If you’ve ever hesitated to put your offer out there, launch something new, or speak up because of self-doubt and imposter syndrome, this conversation will change the way you think about imposter syndrome forever.

When I started this podcast, I had a tiny audience, not many listeners, and more doubts than downloads.

Now, 100+ episodes later, I’ve built an asset that brings people directly into my world - from clients, connections and collaborations. But it didn’t happen overnight, and it sure wasn’t easy. This episode is a raw reflection on the real path to sustainable content and visibility. If you’ve ever launched something (a podcast, a course, a business) and wondered, “Why isn’t this working yet?”, you need to hear this.

I share the exact mindset shifts, strategies, and tools that helped me keep going, even when very few were listening. From sticking it out during low-download months to choosing tools that save time and sanity, this is the behind-the-scenes no one talks about.

I also dive deep into what actually moved the needle: batching episodes to avoid burnout, building systems that made consistency possible, and using long-form content as the backbone for all my marketing. Plus, the uncomfortable truth: your results don’t always show up at the same time as your effort. But they do show up...if you stay the course.

So whether you’re in podcasting, course creation, or any kind of online business, this is your reminder to keep going. Reps matter. And starting small doesn't mean you're doing it wrong. It means you're in it for the long haul. Keep going...because your future self will thank you.

#103: Join Money Makers at loublakely.com/mm

In today’s episode, I’m joined by Leeann Bassett from Face Up Now - a LinkedIn and social media trainer who’s used one repeatable launch system to grow her business and successfully sell multiple digital products.

Leeann first joined my original launch program (then called Launch & Thrive) back in 2021. Since then, she’s used the system again and again to launch both courses and group programs - gaining confidence, clarity, and clients along the way.

Inside this episode, we cover:

• How Leeann used one launch system to successfully sell different products - including signature online courses, mini courses, and group programs.
• The doubts Leeann had before launching - and how she overcame mindset blocks and imposter syndrome to create and sell an online course.
• How launching has helped her grow her personal brand, build her list, and create more freedom beyond 1:1 services. 

If you’ve been putting off launching your course because you’re unsure where to start or whether it’ll pay off — this is a must-listen.
