What if the thing you’re avoiding is exactly what would move your business forward?

You know the one. That idea sitting quietly in the back of your brain — the pitch you’ve been meaning to send, the offer you’ve been waiting to make, the investment you keep circling. Not because it’s a “should,” but because deep down, you know it’s the next right move. And yet, you’re avoiding it. In this episode, we’re talking about when you know the bold move to make, and it feels just scary enough to stall you out.

I walk you through how to recognize the bold things you’re resisting, why courage (not confidence) is what actually gets you moving, and how to create momentum with simple, bold actions that don’t require overnight transformation—just a little bravery and a good plan.

You will learn:

• Why the next right move often feels like something you wish you could “unsee” (and how to deal with that feeling)
• The common thread I’ve noticed among clients who are on the brink of big growth
• What being bold really looks like (from dramatic moves to small actions) 
• The simplest way to identify your bold list—and how to take action without getting overwhelmed
• Why following through on bold actions (before the results show up!) is the habit that actually changes everything

If you’ve been waiting for a sign to go all in on the thing you already know you need to do—this is it. Get ready to check something scary-but-powerful off your list. 

And if one of those bold moves is working with me 1:1? You’ll find the link in the show notes. Let’s do this.

AI might feel like a magic wand for your business — spitting out contracts, naming your next offer, generating “done-for-you” content in seconds. But what if the tool that’s saving you time is quietly putting your business at risk?

In this episode, I’m joined by attorney and online business legal expert Sarah Waldbuesser for a real-talk conversation about the legal side of AI. From copyright laws that haven’t caught up to the tech, to the risks of relying on ChatGPT to write your contracts, we’re diving into what business owners actually need to know in 2025 — and how to keep your business protected without panic (or spending $5K at a local law firm).

You’ll learn:

• Exactly how using AI to write contracts or course content could leave you legally unprotected
• What happened when Sarah asked ChatGPT if non-lawyers should trust the contracts it creates(and its surprisingly honest answer) 
• The real deal with copyright and trademark law when it comes to AI-generated work
• How to think about risk in your business, especially if you’re in your first few years and still growing
• Sarah’s philosophy on legal issues in business — and why she says it’s a matter of when, not if

If you’ve been tempted to let AI handle the legal stuff so you can check it off your to-do list — this episode is your reminder to slow down. You don’t need to be scared of the legal side of business, but you do need to understand it. Hit play and protect your business like the real business it is.

If you’ve been watching other business owners post big, shiny revenue numbers — but you’re not seeing anyone talk about profit — it’s time for a reality check.

The numbers that actually matter in your business aren’t always the ones people share on social media. In this episode, I talk about what it really takes to build and keep a profitable online business — without overcomplicating it or overspending on things you don’t need.

You’ll learn:

• What you really need to run a profitable business — and why it probably won’t match what the online world is trying to sell you 
• How I simplified my business with profitability in mind — so it fits my life and pays me well 
• How to do the math so you’re crystal clear on your profitability (I aim for 50% or better!) — and where you may want to make changes 
• The best mindset to have when making business investments — so you stay out of the “I’m doing it wrong” or “this will fix everything” trap 
• Where coaching fits into building a more profitable, sustainable business 

If you want a business that supports your life and allows you to pay yourself well — this episode will show you how to focus on what matters most.

You don’t need a complicated offer suite or ten different projects in motion to grow a thriving business. In fact, that might be exactly what’s slowing you down.

In this episode, I’m talking about a strategy that has helped both me and my clients create real momentum: focusing on ONE thing at a time. Whether it’s your business, your core offer, or your marketing strategy — narrowing your focus can be the exact move that unlocks the next level of growth. I’m also breaking down the mindset shifts that make this easier (especially if you’re multi-passionate like me) and what it actually looks like to stay committed without feeling boxed in.

You’ll learn:

• The challenges created by trying to build multiple things at once 
• How I went from stuck at $50K to six figures by doing less, not more
• When and how to introduce new offers or income streams 
• The specific mindset shifts that help multi-passionate entrepreneurs stay focused - without feeling creatively stifled
• The simple process I recommend to help you stay committed to one thing — even when shiny new ideas pop up

If you’ve been juggling too many things at once and wondering why none of them are working like you hoped, this episode will help you get focused, move faster, and actually enjoy the process again.

Today, I'm sharing a timeless business strategy inspired by a very retro piece of office equipment (you have to listen to find out what!).

Ever feel like you’re letting your business down? Or think things like “I’m a bad business owner” and “maybe I’m not cut out for this”?

This episode is about the guilt that creeps in when you haven’t worked on your business as much (or as perfectly) as you think you should. I’m diving into why that feeling shows up, what it usually means, and how to rebuild your momentum without all the judgment and pressure.

You’ll hear what I see behind the scenes with clients (that I bet will sound a lot like you), why so many of us fall into the guilt spiral, and how to move forward even when life has been life-ing.

You will learn:

• What your business guilt is really trying to tell you (and why it’s almost never about your effort)
• The biggest misunderstanding about consistency — and a game-changing different way to think about it 
• What to do the moment you start comparing yourself to someone else online
• How to reset your business momentum without pressure, drama, or shame
• What the most successful business owners I know have in common (spoiler: it’s not perfection)

If you've been feeling guilty for "falling behind" — this episode will remind you that you’re not, and inspire you to come back to your business, right now, just as you are.

What if one of the easiest ways to create more clients this year wasn’t launching something new or overhauling your marketing... but simply getting in the habit of following up?

In this episode, I’m breaking down how not following up might be quietly costing you money — and why following up (when done right) is actually one of the most respectful, professional things you can do for your business. If the idea of following up feels awkward, uncomfortable, or cringey, we’re going to fix that today. 

You’ll learn:

• Why silence doesn’t always mean "no" — and the real reason some people need a second (or third) nudge
• The simple mindset shift that turns following up from awkward to just “closing the loop” (and why it builds so much trust) 
• My personal approach to following up without feeling weird, needy, or apologetic 
• The key difference between professional persistence and making it personal 
• The best way to handle ghosting, no-shows, and “yeses” that quietly turn into “nos"

If you want to create more revenue without piling on more marketing or hustle, this is an episode you won’t want to miss.

What if selling didn’t feel icky… and actually felt like you were helping?
In this episode, I’m joined by another Samantha — Samantha Burmeister, founder of Nomad Copy Agency — for a conversation that will take the stress out of writing copy that sells.

If selling has ever felt awkward, pushy, or like something you’d rather avoid altogether, this will shift your perspective and give you new strategies to implement right away (like, as soon as the episode's done).

We talk about why it’s actually a good thing to be obvious and direct in your copy (even if that feels uncomfortable), how to use "client voice," what AI can do for your marketing, and so much more.

You will learn:

• What most business owners get wrong when they try to use client voice in their copy 
• The sneaky mistake that makes your sales page feel flat—even when you “did everything right” 
• The easiest way to stop second-guessing your copy and start sounding like you
• How to find gold in your sales convos and turn it into scroll-stopping content
• The one shift that turns “ick, I hate selling” into “wait... this feels kind of fun?”

Ready to write in a way that actually feels good and works?

Listen in for a smart, fun and super practical conversation that will leave you feeling more confident in your message — and probably saying “selling is a service” out loud to yourself for the rest of the day.

If you’ve ever thought there must be a secret to making marketing feel easy, I get it — but the real secret is this: marketing is work. It’s a puzzle that you learn to solve, and then re-solve, every time the pieces shift.

In today’s episode, I’m challenging the idea that you’re “bad” at marketing and showing you what actually matters more than any strategy, trend, or tool. We’ll talk about how understanding human behavior changes everything, why marketing always involves experimenting (not just executing perfectly), and the three shifts that will help you think — and market — more like a pro.

You will learn:

• Why your marketing "not working" doesn’t mean you’re bad at it (and what it does mean)
• What every single marketing expert is actually doing behind the scenes (even if they don’t say it out loud)
• The exact questions you can ask yourself to start building better marketing instincts today
• Where you're already a better marketer than you realize — and how to use it to your advantage
• Why understanding human behavior will take you further than any funnel, formula, or social media hack

Ready to take the pressure off your marketing and start making real progress? This episode will show you how to think differently, act smarter, and stay out of the self-doubt spiral — so you can market your business in a way that actually works for you.

If it feels like you’re doing everything in your business but still not getting the clients you want — this episode is for you.

Because there’s a good chance you’re spending too much time on the wrong type of marketing (the comfortable kind) and not enough on the type that actually moves the needle. Today, we’re talking about the two streams of marketing you need to grow your business - and how most business owners tend to lean too hard into the "slow stream" and end up stuck.

In this episode, I’m breaking down how you can balance your marketing efforts between getting clients now and building a long-term pipeline for clients later. I’ll walk you through why relationship-based marketing is uncomfortable (but crucial), why content creation alone won’t get you where you want to go, and how to find a marketing rhythm that actually fits you — whether you're brand new or years into business.

You will learn:

• The real reason it feels like you’re working so hard but not signing clients — and the marketing shift that changes everything
• What mistake I made early in my business (despite having a marketing degree!) — and how you can avoid it
• How to spot the difference between comfort zone tasks and client-generating activities (hint: one feels much safer but grows your business way slower)
• Why tapping into your existing network (even if it feels awkward) can totally change your business
• Five uncomfortable-but-necessary questions that can unlock way more clients than tweaking your freebie ever will

Whether you're just getting started or already running a six-figure business, this episode will help you refocus on what actually grows your client base — and ditch the busywork that keeps you stuck.
