Need a boost? This one’s a pep talk.

Not a how-to. Not a training. Just a real, honest, heart-to-heart to get you out of your head—and back into action.

Because this week, I did something that scared me.

I went live on Facebook for the first time snice last year… and I was nervous.

I questioned everything. I doubted myself in real-time. And for a minute, I almost didn’t show up at all.

But I did. And afterward, I knew I had to record this. Because if I needed that pep talk, I know I’m not the only one.

So if you’ve been sitting on your voice, second-guessing your work, or shrinking back from your next bold move… this is the moment you stop waiting and start leading.

WHAT YOU’LL GET IN THIS EPISODE:

✅ A short and powerful pep talk to pull you out of fear and into motion
✅ A behind-the-scenes story about what it really felt like to go live again
✅ A reframe on fear that will help you stop spiraling and start leading
✅ The one question that will help you make a brave move—today

3 PEP TALK TAKEAWAYS:

1️⃣ You’re Not Broken—You’re Brave
Feeling scared doesn’t mean you’re not ready. It means what you’re doing matters.

2️⃣ Perfection Is Just Fear in Disguise
Tweaking, hiding, waiting? They won’t make your work better. They’ll just keep it from the people who need it.

3️⃣ Showing Up IS the Strategy
There is no perfect moment. Just this one. So take the mic, take the leap, and take up space like you belong there—because you do.

Paid ads that actually feel good? Yep. It’s possible—and this episode proves it.

If you’ve ever thought, “I know I need more visibility… but I don’t want to feel like I’m selling out,”  or “I tried ads once. I lost money and felt gross the entire time.”

You’re not alone—and you’re not doing it wrong.

So many purpose-driven entrepreneurs avoid paid ads because they think the only way to make them work is to compromise their values. But that’s a myth—and today, we’re busting it with the help of Megan Shields.

Megan is the CEO of ChimeHouse Media and my go-to expert when it comes to ethical Facebook and Instagram ad strategy. She works with podcasters and values-led business owners to help them grow their audience, their email list, and their revenue—without burnout, bro marketing, or creepy targeting tactics.

In this episode, we talk about what it really takes to run Meta ads that work—while still feeling true to who you are.

WHAT YOU'LL LEARN IN THIS EPISODE:

✅ Why most women entrepreneurs avoid ads—and how to rethink them
✅ How to write ad copy that converts without sounding like a pushy bro
✅ Targeting strategies that are ethical, effective, and privacy-conscious
✅ What to focus on before you ever run an ad—so you don’t waste money

3 KEY TAKEAWAYS:

1️⃣ Marketing with Integrity Isn’t Just Possible—It Performs
You can grow your audience and revenue without compromising your values. Ads are just a tool. How you use them is up to you.

2️⃣ It’s Not About Big Budgets—It’s About Smart Strategy
You don’t need to spend thousands to see results. You need the right message, the right audience, and a plan you can trust.

3️⃣ Visibility Doesn’t Have to Equal Burnout
The right ads amplify your mission. They don’t replace your values—they help you share them with more people, more consistently.

🎧 Ready to finally feel good about getting seen? Hit play and let’s dive in.

Feeling stuck in your business—even though you’re working nonstop? Here’s the hard truth that changed everything for me (and might be exactly what you need to hear too).

“I’ve been at this for a while, and I care so much about what I do—but I feel like I’m running in circles. I’m working so hard, but nothing seems to be moving. How do you know when it’s time to change something—or if maybe you’re just not cut out for this?”

That was the question Melissa sent in—and it stopped me in my tracks. Not because I hadn’t heard it before… but because I had lived it.

In this solo Q&A episode, I’m sharing the story of one of the hardest seasons in my business—and the moment someone gave me a piece of advice that completely changed the way I show up as a leader.

If you’ve been pouring your heart into your business, doing everything you think you’re “supposed” to do, and still not seeing the results you want… this episode is for you.

WHAT YOU'LL LEARN IN THIS EPISODE:

✅ The difference between working hard and leading wisely
 ✅ The habits that secretly keep entrepreneurs stuck—and how to spot them
 ✅ What it really takes to build a business that sustains you and your mission
 ✅ How to stop spinning and start scaling, without selling out your values

3 KEY TAKEAWAYS:

1️⃣ Effort ≠ Growth
If you’re constantly doing more but still not getting ahead, it might be time to change how you’re working—not how hard.

2️⃣ Old Habits Can’t Build New Results
Clinging to comfort is often what’s keeping you small. Growth requires letting go of what no longer serves your next level.

3️⃣ Leading Means Building With Intention
You can’t just show up and hope for success. You need a plan, a process, and a path that actually supports you—so you can keep showing up for your mission.

You care about making a difference—and building a business that actually lasts.

If you've ever wondered how to create predictable, recurring revenue without losing the heart behind why you started, you’re going to love this conversation.

Today, I’m joined by Stu McLaren, membership expert and co-founder of Membership.io, to pull back the curtain on what it really takes to build a sustainable, purpose-driven business using the power of memberships.

With over 16 years of experience helping entrepreneurs scale their income and impact, Stu shares the behind-the-scenes strategies that turn loyal audiences into thriving communities—without burning out or selling out.

If you're thinking about launching a membership, growing one, or just curious how to add more stability to your income, this episode is packed with actionable takeaways you can start using right away.

WHAT YOU'LL LEARN IN THIS EPISODE:

✅ Why memberships are one of the smartest (and most sustainable) ways to grow a mission-driven business

✅ The mindset shift entrepreneurs need to make if they want recurring revenue without losing momentum or impact

✅ How to create a membership that actually serves your people—and keeps them coming back month after month

✅ Real-world lessons from Stu’s own journey building successful memberships (and what he'd do differently if he started again)

3 KEY TAKEAWAYS:

1️⃣ Predictable Profit Is Built, Not Hoped For
Memberships aren't just about monthly income—they're about building trust and community over time. If you focus on delivering real value consistently, revenue becomes a byproduct of impact.

2️⃣ Small Audiences Can Create Big Results
You don't need 100,000 followers to launch a profitable membership. Stu explains why depth over width wins every time when it comes to building a loyal, paying community.

3️⃣ Memberships Must Evolve with Your Members
What your audience needs today may not be what they need six months from now. Staying curious, flexible, and focused on member success is the key to sustainable growth.

You’ve heard it before: just push through. Hustle harder. Do more.

• The hidden signs of nervous system dysregulation in entrepreneurs
• How to stop overworking and start building from a regulated, resourced place

What actually changes when you stop building your business in isolation—and step into a room full of women who are building bold, mission-driven businesses too?

In this episode, I’m sharing the most important lessons I brought home from my first in-person mastermind, hosted by the amazing Amy McLaren. What I thought would be a few days of high-level strategy turned into one of the most clarifying, grounding, and transformational experiences I’ve had in business.

Over three days, I had the chance to get real feedback, witness powerful leadership in action, and reflect deeply on how I want to build, lead, and support the women in my own programs—especially inside of my own mastermind, Legacy.

But the biggest shift? It wasn’t a tactic. It was the way these women work. How they show up. How they invest their time. And how they treat their business like the mission it is.

We’re talking about:

• The mistake most entrepreneurs make when hiring help—and how it’s keeping them stuck
• Why your messaging is your business (and how to go deeper with it)
• What two totally different Instagram strategies taught me about content that actually connects
• Why getting offline is the most underrated growth strategy no one’s talking about
• The overlooked key to real transformation: giving your clients time to practice, not just consume
• How high-performing women actually run their businesses (and why we need to stop glorifying ease over effort)

Whether you’ve been craving more alignment in your business, wondering what it really looks like to lead with purpose, or you're just ready to stop doing this alone—this episode will remind you that success is built in community, not in a vacuum.

Hit play and hear what shifted for me—and how you can bring these same game-changing insights into your next season of business.

COMING UP NEXT:
In Episode 22, I’m joined by Masha Kay to talk about the overlooked key to growing your business without burning out. We’re diving into nervous system regulation, resilience, and why grit isn’t the answer when you’re trying to scale with purpose. It’s the episode every high-achieving woman needs to hear.

What does it really take to build a charity that lasts—and how can entrepreneurs integrate meaningful impact into their business model without waiting until they “make it”?

In this episode, I’m joined by Amy McLaren, founder of Village Impact, author of Passion to Purpose, and one of the most admired voices in the purpose-driven business space. Amy has helped bring education to thousands of children in rural Kenya through Village Impact’s smart, sustainable model—while also raising a family, running multiple businesses, and empowering women through her adventure mastermind, LadyStrength.

As someone who spent nearly two decades building and funding nonprofit organizations myself, I couldn’t be more excited to bring you this conversation. Amy is the real deal. And in a world full of surface-level “giving back,” what she’s built is the blueprint for doing good that actually works.

We’re talking about:

• How Village Impact grew from a bold idea into a thriving, global nonprofit
• The truth about what it takes to run a successful charity behind the scenes
• How Amy structured a brilliant funding model that doesn’t rely on grants
• Why philanthropy should be part of every business strategy—not just a feel-good extra
• What legacy really means when you’re building something that outlives you

Whether you’re a business owner who dreams of starting a nonprofit, someone looking to make giving back part of your brand, or a purpose-led entrepreneur figuring out how to lead with more impact—this conversation will inspire you to think bigger and act bolder.

Hit play and learn what it means to create lasting change—without compromising your mission or your business.

If you’re doing all the “right” things in your business—but still not seeing the growth, traction, or revenue you expected—this episode is for you.

In today’s episode, I’m breaking down the #1 mistake I see purpose-driven entrepreneurs make: building their business on the wrong model. This isn’t about your marketing. It’s not about your mindset. It’s about the structure holding your mission—and if it’s not the right one, everything else will feel harder than it needs to.

You’ll walk away with a clear understanding of the 3 main business models for doing good—Mission-Based For-Profit, Social Enterprise, and Nonprofit—including the pros and cons of each, who they’re best suited for, and how to figure out which one aligns with your goals.

We’re also talking about The Good Business Academy, my brand new program that’s launching late Spring of 2025 and was built to help you align your business model with your mission from day one.

Whether you’re a coach, consultant, service provider, or creative, this episode will help you start building a business that supports your values and your bottom line.

What You’ll Learn:

• Why marketing isn’t your real problem—and what might be
• The 3 business models for doing good (and how they actually work)
• The pros and cons of each model—no fluff, just real talk
• How to audit your own business model and start making strategic changes
• Why I created The Good Business Academy and how it’s different from anything out there

You didn’t start your business just to make money.

Sure, you want to be paid well for your work (and you should be). But deep down, you’re building something bigger—something that leaves a legacy, creates real change, and feels meaningful every step of the way.

In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on the deeper “why” behind your business and helping you reconnect with the mission that started it all. Whether you're chasing your first $10k month or scaling toward something bigger, we’ll talk about:

• The 3 stages of business desire—and why it’s totally normal to want more
• How to redefine success beyond revenue benchmarks
• Practical ways to dream bigger and bring purpose back into your work
• What it means to lead a business that changes lives—including your own

If you’ve ever thought “Is this really it?” while staring at your to-do list, this episode is your permission slip to dream again—and build a business that feels just as good as it looks on paper.

🎧 Plus, I’ll share what’s coming next week on the show (spoiler: a powerful conversation with Amy McLaren you won’t want to miss).
