March 12, 2025Episode 41: How I Relaunched My Membership (And What I Did Differently This Time)
What does it take to build a thriving coaching membership? In this episode of Published and Paid®️, I’m taking you behind the scenes of my coaching journey—from my first membership program to shutting it down and finally relaunching a version that truly works.
I share the mistakes I made (so you don’t have to), the major lessons I learned, and the exact strategies that helped me create a sustainable coaching membership.
If you’ve been thinking about launching a membership or coaching program, this episode is packed with insights you won’t want to miss.
Key Takeaways:
Why I started a coaching membership and how it evolved over time
The major mistakes I made when launching my first membership
How I found the right structure for my business and lifestyle
Why I shut down my membership in 2019—and why I brought it back in 2024
The importance of messaging, boundaries, and clear deliverables in a coaching program

Quotes
"You can use something as inspiration, but you should not try to duplicate what someone else has the way they have it. You only know what you see from the outside - you don't know what's going on behind the scenes in terms of capacity and requirements."
"I believe that done is better than perfect. I don't mind launching something and perfecting it over time, because I believe that it's in the doing of it that you get the clarity - not by sitting back thinking about things in your head."
"How many of you are going around in circles trying to figure something out when the answer to what you're looking for is literally something you've already created and it's already in your face?"
"My clients are experts, leaders, executives - put them in front of a room, they can rock the mic off the stage, but put them in front of a camera, and they freeze up. They think that Canva is content!"
"You can have all the strategies that you want, but if you don't have the mindset and the courage to go after it and implement it, it's not going to matter."

March 09, 2025Episode 40: Navigating 2 Team Resignations & Hiring Challenges
In this episode of the Published and Paid®️ Podcast, I’m getting transparent about leadership and team management. Two of my team members resigned on the same day, and while that might sound stressful, it was actually a relief. This experience forced me to reflect on my leadership, hiring practices, and what it truly means to build a business with the right people.
00:05:12 - The day two team members resigned
00:06:07 - Why every coach should have a coach
00:17:05 - The contractor vs. employee mindset
00:23:31 - The importance of making hard decisions
00:24:52 - How hiring mistakes impact your business
00:36:03 - Final thoughts & leadership insights
If you’ve ever struggled with building a strong team, hiring the right people, or making tough leadership calls, this episode is for you.
Ready to level up your leadership and build a business that thrives? Tune in now!

Key Takeaways:
Contractors vs. Employees: Contractors work for themselves and prioritize flexibility. Employees, on the other hand, are invested in your mission and goals.
Mindset Over Skillset: Skills can be taught, but mindset, attitude, and initiative are what truly make a great team member.
Don't Delay Hard Decisions: The longer you wait to make tough calls, the more stress, time, and money you waste.
Loyalty Must Be Reciprocal: If you're loyal to a team member, they should be equally invested in your business—not just in their paycheck.
Know What You Need: Before hiring, be clear on whether you need a doer (contractor) or a thinker (strategist or employee).

Quotes
“Contractors will always choose themselves first. Employees choose the mission.”
“Skills can be taught. Mindset and initiative? That’s something you either have or you don’t.”
“The longer you delay a hard decision, the more it costs you—financially and emotionally.”
“Hiring the wrong person can slow you down, but hiring the right person can accelerate your success.”
“If someone isn’t fully invested, they will eventually check out—it’s just a matter of time.”

March 05, 2025Episode 39: It Should Not Take You Years or Months to Write a Book
It’s time we dismantled the biggest myth about writing a book—that it takes months or even years. What if you could write a powerful, high-impact book in just a few days?
In this episode, I reveal the Fast-Writing Framework that I teach in my Seven-Figure Bestseller Bootcamp and Published and Paid®️ Mastermind. You’ll learn how to write with clarity, structure your content effectively, and leverage your book as a tool for business growth and credibility. Plus, I’ll share strategies to overcome perfectionism and get your message out into the world faster than ever.
By the end of this episode, you’ll have a clear roadmap to writing your book quickly and confidently.
Episode Takeaways
Writing a book doesn’t have to take years; you can finish a micro-book in days or weeks.
A book is a powerful tool to establish thought leadership and generate passive income.
Perfectionism is the enemy of progress – your book doesn’t have to be perfect, it just needs to be valuable.
The Fast Writing Framework consists of defining your purpose, outlining strategically, dictating your content, refining, and distributing.
Your book is an extension of what you already know – you don’t need to reinvent the wheel, just structure your knowledge effectively.
Quotables
“If you knew you could write a book in just a few days, would you still let time be an excuse?”
“Your book isn’t just an idea; it’s a tool to grow your impact and income.”
“Perfectionism slows you down—clarity and action will get you published.”
“A book gives you a tangible asset you can sell in multiple formats for years.”
“When you want to be seen as an authority, you need to have a book on your expertise.”

February 26, 2025Episode 37: How to Stay Focused
In this episode of the Published and Paid®️ podcast, I’m diving into something that can make or break your success—focus. I’ve seen so many people, including myself in the past, struggle to reach their goals simply because they’re trying to do too much at once. From hopping between coaching programs to chasing the next shiny idea, it’s easy to get distracted and lose momentum.
But here’s the truth: success happens when you lock in on one goal, project, or task—and see it through. I’m sharing how I turned my business around by narrowing my focus and the practical steps you can take to do the same.

Episode Takeaways:
Focus Fuels Success: Success comes from locking in on one goal, project, or task at a time. Spreading yourself too thin only leads to burnout and unfinished projects.
Set Clear Daily Goals: Identify 3–5 key tasks to accomplish each day. Prioritize the top three, and anything beyond that is a bonus.
Create a Distraction-Free Environment: Put your phone on Do Not Disturb, close unnecessary tabs, and set timers for focused work sessions.
Time Management Techniques Work: Use strategies like time-blocking and the Pomodoro technique to stay on track and avoid procrastination.
Regular Breaks Matter: Work in 45- to 60-minute intervals, followed by short breaks, to maintain focus and avoid mental fatigue.
Mindfulness Improves Focus: Stretching or light meditation at the end of the day can calm the mind, reduce anxiety, and improve sleep quality.

Quoteables:
"Things didn’t start working well for me until I locked all the way in and focused on one thing—one book, one message, one coaching program."
"If you focus on one task, you’ll complete it in half the time with double the accuracy compared to juggling multiple tasks."
"Distraction breaks momentum. Every time you check your phone or email, you lose valuable time regaining focus."
"There’s such a thing as having too many voices in your head. Focus all the way in, maximize where you are, and make it work for you."
"You don’t need to do everything. You just need to do the right things consistently."

February 23, 2025Episode 36: The Ultimate Year Plan: Turning Resolutions into Results
Ever wondered how a simple shift in planning can turn your year into the most successful one yet? Let’s explore the full power of setting SMART goals and reflect on how to assess your current status across spirituality, fitness, business, and family. I share personal stories, like how teaching my children to set concrete goals has inspired clearer action steps in my own life. With practical tools like journals and calendars, you’ll learn to keep your planning straightforward and effective, ensuring you track progress and foster personal growth throughout the year.
Accountability is key, and I reveal how time management and external motivators can help keep you on track. Dive into my journey of overcoming challenges, including a weight loss story intertwined with thyroid issues, and discover the power of setting milestones and adapting plans when life throws curveballs.
In this episode I share how to:
Assess where you are now versus this time last year to determine what worked, what didn't, and what goals to set for the upcoming year.
Set S.M.A.R.T. (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, Time-bound) goals for various areas of your life.
Break down your goals into actionable steps and calendar them to ensure consistent execution.
Use tools like journals, calendars, and project management apps to stay organized and on track.
Set deadlines or milestones to hold yourself accountable, and don't be afraid to adjust plans if needed.
Embrace the importance of internal accountability as a leader, while also utilizing external support.
Quotes:
"Your goals should align with your personal values and your capacity. Don't set unrealistic goals that will only disappoint you."
"Set deadlines or milestones to hold yourself accountable, and don't be afraid to adjust your plan if needed."
"As leaders, we have to be willing to be accountable to ourselves, while also utilizing external support when needed."
"Sometimes the unexpected happens. Sometimes you have to adjust plans, but don't use the adjustment as a reason to quit."

February 19, 2025The Truth About Self-Publishing in 2025
In this episode of the Published and Paid® podcast, I returned from a brief break to kick off an exciting new year with big changes! I dive deep into redefining what self-publishing truly means. Drawing from my decade of experience working with over 1,000 authors and being recognized as an authority in the self-publishing space, I share why self-publishing is about much more than just producing a book—it's about publishing a new version of yourself.
What You'll Discover in This Episode:
Why I'm expanding the podcast to include twice-weekly episodes and hot seat coaching opportunities
My fresh perspective on self-publishing that goes beyond just creating books
How the journey of publishing transforms you into a completely different person
The real reason most self-published authors fail to monetize their books effectively
Why investing in yourself is crucial for evolving into your next-level identity
My approach to turning one book into a seven-figure business through speaking, coaching, and events
Key Quotes from the Episode
"Self-publishing means to publish yourself. To publish the next version of you."
"When you write your thought leadership book, you are literally writing the vision and making it plain for someone who needs it so they can run with it."
"I’ve been able to turn one book into over $1 million generated in my business. You can do the same by strategically monetizing your book."
"This season, we’re diving into identity elevation—not just from the writing standpoint, but from business development, personal growth, faith, and family. You can become that person every single day."
"There’s constant learning, growth, evolution, and elevation. Every time I help someone else, I elevate myself, too."
