Anna has developed a very practical approach that transforms women in both relationships and business and frees them to lead from a place of authenticity and joy. 

If you are a woman who feels tired, stressed, and burnt out from carrying the weight of the world on your shoulders, you’ll want to listen to this episode

And stay to the end for a special offer AND a special message for men.

If it seems like all the marketing and business growth advice about how to grow your business and scale your services sound the same, you’re not alone.  They may be good advice, but they rarely address the root causes of why businesses are unable to grow past certain limits. When a business is stuck, a look into the personal life and mind of the business owner is very telling. 

In this episode of the Results-Driven Life by Design broadcast, hear how Mandi's journey began with struggling to systematize her own business, leading her to develop frameworks that now help hundreds of service-based companies scale.

Mandi also shares why people avoid  writing and deep thinking, and why they are crucial skills for business growth and problem-solving.

Kia and Mandi have a profound and vulnerable discussion about how relationships (personal and professional) can make or break success.

The mindset shifts they discuss are unlike what you hear in most business circles. If you really want to be challenged to think differently about your business, to face the real limitations holding back your growth and get no-nonsense, real world proven guidance on what really moves the needle, listen to this week’s episode.

In this episode, Kia welcomes Katie Carter, a family law attorney and the Marketing Director of Hofhiemer Family Law, and discusses how she empowers women in divorce through her brilliant and creative marketing. Listen to this special broadcast filled with gold nuggets about law firm marketing, branding, social media, culture, and more.

Katie practices law at a women-only law firm in Virginia Beach that is passionate about advocating for women to receive fair financial settlements and protect their future post-divorce.

In this discussion, she shares candidly about how past shaped her path and gave her the passion to help women get out of abusive relationships. She launched a brilliant brand called “Your Girlfriend Needs a Divorce” on social media channels to provide accessible divorce information and support for women, free from shame, guilt, or stigma. Follow her to see how compassionately yet unapologetically she gives expressions to these sensitive topics. 

Katie’s marketing approach focuses on authentic, relatable content that speaks directly to women’s experiences. She combines her legal knowledge with real stories, and uses social media to reach women who may be hesitant to openly seek help.  This purpose;-driven and passion fueled approach validates women’s emotions and experiences, while giving them actionable information.

We also discuss the role of evolving gender dynamics, the “bittersweet victory” of the feminist movement, and the challenges that both men and women are facing today.

Katie is a powerful voice for women today. She is not only setting an example and demonstrating what it looks like to live an overcoming life, but helping others do it through her marketing and her legal work.

In this special episode of the Results-Driven Life by Design podcast, Kia goes solo and gives a recap of panel discussion on Women in Entrepreneurship and Leadership, presented at Ben Glass's and Brian Glass's Great Legal Marketing Summit in Phoenix. In this broadcast, Kia expands on important ideas that were discussed such as:

- How to balance masculine (achievement-oriented) and feminine (intuitive, reflective) energies and why it is crucial for sustainable leadership.

- Why authentic femininity is valuable in business, challenging the "do it all" narrative.

- Why self-identity and inner strength are foundational for women's success in entrepreneurship.

- How continuous learning and action-taking build confidence and skills necessary for growth.
