If you're a service provider, coach, consultant, freelancer, or creative running a done-for-you or done-with-you business, this one's for you. In this raw, honest episode, I share the real behind-the-scenes of Q2 2025: the financial realities, client retention strategies, new offers I tested, and what’s working (and not) in an unpredictable market.

We talk about the importance of reflection, tweaking your business model, embracing experimentation, and finding the balance between sustainability and joy—even when sales cycles shift or launches underperform. I also share what's working right now in the service space: small paid communities, hybrid group + 1:1 offers, and visibility strategies that go beyond the online bubble.

If you're tired of curated “highlight reels” and want real talk about building and growing a sustainable service business in today’s economy, tune in.
