Even though you’re a solopreneur, you don’t have to figure it all out on your own.

This belief is exactly why I created The Solopreneur Sisterhood and why I’d love to have you join us for our first virtual conference, Gather & Grow.

Gather & Grow isn’t just another online conference. It’s an opportunity to step away from the day-to-day demands of your business, make meaningful progress on what matters most, and build genuine relationships with other heart-centered women who understand the journey.

As we count down to the conference, I’m introducing you to some of the incredible women who will be sharing their wisdom with our community.

Today, I’m excited to introduce you to Heather Black, a stage-driven visibility strategist and founder of Phoenix Collaborations, who helps heart-centered coaches, consultants, authors, speakers, and service providers stop chasing stages and start choosing them strategically.

With more than 20 years of experience on the other side of the stage as a meeting planner, Heather knows what gets speakers booked, what makes an audience lean in, and how to help purpose-driven business owners find the right stages, rooms, and messages for their businesses.

In our conversation, we talk about:

✨ Why chasing every speaking opportunity isn’t necessarily the best visibility strategy, and how choosing the right stages can help you make a bigger impact while actually moving your business forward.

✨ The unrealistic expectations we often see online about how quickly a new business should replace your income, and the invisible work and learning that happens behind the scenes as we build something of our own.

✨ Why heart-centered business owners can struggle with sales, and how shifting from “I’m selling something” to “I’m offering a service that can help this person” can change the way we approach those conversations.

Heather also shares more about what she’ll cover in her Gather & Grow workshop: Get Strategic, Get Paid: The Three Stages Every Solopreneur Needs.

In this interactive workshop, Heather will introduce you to three different types of stages: visibility, authority, and owned, and the specific job each one is designed to do.

You’ll learn about visibility stages and how they can help you get in front of people who don’t know you yet and begin building those connections. And no matter how much experience you have, you’ll walk away with a better understanding of how your different opportunities can work together to support your bigger business goals.

If you’ve been wanting to explore speaking as part of your visibility strategy, or you’ve been wondering how to make your speaking opportunities support your business goals, I think you’ll get so much from this conversation with Heather.

And if you’ve been longing for a place where you can learn practical strategies, have honest conversations, celebrate the small wins, and connect with other purpose-driven women who understand that building a business is a process, I’d love to invite you to join us for Gather & Grow this October.

In this episode, Becky sits down with Pamela Schoessling, a coach who helps people navigate transitions, clarify what matters to them, and explore what might be possible for their future.

Together, Becky and Pamela explore what it looks like to navigate those moments when you know something needs to change, but you don’t know exactly where you want to go. Pamela shares her SPARCK life design process and explains how looking at your story, purpose, aspirations, reflection, connections, and next steps can help you begin to uncover a direction that feels right for you.

Whether you’re navigating a career transition, reconsidering your business, or simply wondering what might be next, this conversation is a beautiful reminder that you don’t have to have the entire path figured out before you take the next step.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

* Why looking back at your own story can help you figure out what comes next

* How your values, purpose, and what gives you positive energy can guide your decisions

* What to do when you feel drawn toward an idea but immediately start talking yourself out of it

* How connection and community can support you when you’re navigating change

* Why being clear about your purpose and your “why” matters when building a business

Inspiration for this week:

You don’t have to know exactly where you’re going to start exploring what might be possible.

Pay attention to what gives you energy. Get curious. Gather information. Try things out. Let your path evolve as you learn more about yourself and what matters most to you.

Welcome, Kindred Spirit! I’m so grateful that you are here.

Hi, I’m Becky Lyter McCleery. I’m a Solopreneur Strategist who helps heart-centered women with service-based businesses turn big ideas into clear priorities and simple, sustainable plans for growth.

I’ve been in the online business world since 2011, working behind the scenes as a virtual assistant, OBM, and Director of Operations. Beyond my work in operations, I love helping solopreneurs step out of overwhelm and build businesses that support what matters most (to them, right now).

I’m also the founder of The Solopreneur Sisterhood, a free community where women connect, collaborate, and support one another along the entrepreneurial journey.

If you’re building something meaningful, I’m really glad you’re here. 💗

As we count down to the conference, I’m introducing you to some of the incredible women who will be sharing their wisdom with our community.

Today, I’m excited to introduce you to Dr. Catrina Mitchum, a recovering academic and course creation consultant who helps small business owners create courses that actually help people get what they came for.In our conversation, we talk about:

✨ Why practice and application are such important parts of learning, and how simply giving people videos or content isn’t enough to help them actually use what they’re learning.

✨ Why a course isn’t automatically the next step for every business, despite the common belief that courses and passive income are the path to scaling.

✨ How your one-on-one experience can help you identify the patterns and teachable pieces that may (or may not) translate well into a course.Catrina also shares a bit more of what we’ll cover in her workshop at Gather & Grow: Is a Course the Next Right Step for Your Business?

If you’ve ever thought, I should probably create a course, this workshop is an opportunity to pause before you pour hours of time, energy, and resources into creating one.

Rather than assuming a course is the answer, Catrina will help you look at your own business and explore the specific strategic jobs a course can do, where it might fit, and whether you’re actually ready for one.

If you’ve been wondering whether a course is the right next step for your business, or if you’ve simply been feeling the pressure to create one because it seems like that’s what everyone else is doing, I think you’ll really enjoy this conversation with Catrina.

And if you’ve been longing for a place where you can learn practical strategies, have honest conversations, make progress on your business, and build genuine relationships with other purpose-driven women, I’d love to invite you to join us for Gather & Grow this October.

In this episode, Becky and Jason wrap up their conversation about capacity, priorities, and building a business that actually works with your life.

Life is going to change. Your priorities will change. Your capacity will change. And sometimes the economy, the market, or the way people buy will change, too. So rather than building a business that only works when everything goes according to plan, what if you built one that could adapt along the way?

Becky and Jason talk about what it means to build a resilient business; one that supports the life you want to live rather than requiring you to constantly rearrange your life around your business.

They also talk about making thoughtful decisions about your offers, revenue goals, and marketing strategies based on your actual capacity instead of someone else’s version of what your business should look like. Becky shares why realistic goals and a little planning can help you create a business that is sustainable for the long run.

Most importantly, this episode is a reminder that changing your business isn’t a sign that you’ve failed. Your business is allowed to evolve as you evolve. The goal isn’t to build something once and make it work forever; it’s to create a business that can grow and change alongside you.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

* How planning ahead can make vacations, holidays, and other busy seasons easier

* How to evaluate an offer or goal based on the time and energy it requires (not just the potential outcome)

* Why it’s important to notice what you enjoy, what you don’t enjoy, and what isn’t producing the results you want

* How to maintain momentum without feeling like your business has to grow every single month

* Why changing your business as your life and priorities change is a sign of adaptation (not failure)

Inspiration for this week:

Does your business support the life you want to live right now?

Take some time to pause and look at your business as it exists today.

What is working well? What isn’t? What are you doing simply because you thought you were supposed to? And what has changed in your life, priorities, or capacity that your business hasn’t caught up with yet?

You don’t have to change everything at once. Start by getting curious about what could work better and give yourself permission to let your business evolve with you.

As we count down to the conference, I’m introducing you to some of the incredible women who will be sharing their wisdom with our community.

Today, I’m excited to introduce you to Jackie Brown, a communications coach and advisor who helps leaders, professionals, coaches, entrepreneurs, and CEOs find their voice when the pressure is on.

In our conversation, we talk about:

✨ Why the pressure to perform can make us feel like we need to have the perfect pitch, offer, or message; and how shifting our focus from being polished to being connected can change everything.

✨ Why your offers and ideas don’t have to be perfect before you share them, and how treating your business as an experiment can help you learn, gather feedback, and build momentum.

✨ Why your personality, humanity, and the way you connect with people may be some of your greatest differentiators, even when you’re working in an industry that feels crowded.

✨ Why leading with curiosity instead of relying on scripts and templates can make business conversations feel more natural, meaningful, and aligned with who you are.

Jackie and I also talk about the pressure we can feel when we’re visible online or talking about what we do. It’s easy to get caught up in wondering, How are people going to perceive me? What are they going to think? But when we shift our focus from ourselves to the person in front of us—from How am I coming across? to How can I help?—it becomes much easier to show up authentically.

That’s at the heart of Jackie’s workshop at Gather & Grow, How to Talk About What You Do and Why AI Can’t Do It For You.

Instead of giving you another script or template to memorize, Jackie will help you explore how curiosity and genuine connection can help you talk about your work in a way that feels natural and uniquely yours. And because this is a workshop (not just a presentation), you’ll have the opportunity to practice these ideas in real-time conversations and get feedback along the way.

You’ll even walk away with one genuine question you can use in business conversations to open the door to deeper, more meaningful conversations about your work.

If you’ve ever struggled to explain what you do without feeling like you’re bragging or pitching, or if you’ve spent way too much time trying to come up with the perfect way to describe your business, I think you’ll really enjoy this conversation with Jackie.

And if you’ve been longing for a place where you can learn practical strategies, have honest conversations, step away from the pressure to have it all figured out, and build genuine relationships with other purpose-driven women, I’d love to invite you to join us for Gather & Grow this October.

In this episode, Becky and Jason continue their conversation about capacity and building a business that works with your life.

Becky and Jason talk about how to figure out what truly needs your attention when your capacity is lower than expected. They explore the difference between tasks that are directly connected to your current goals and those that can wait, as well as why some of the things we’re told we have to do may be more optional than we realize.

They also discuss how to use systems and automation to make your business easier to manage, why you don’t have to make major business decisions when you’re temporarily exhausted, and how community can help you get perspective when you’re feeling overwhelmed or questioning your choices.

Most importantly, this episode reminds you that maintaining momentum doesn’t always mean growing faster. Sometimes, momentum looks like continuing to support your clients, nurturing relationships, or working toward a longer-term goal, even when your business isn’t visibly growing.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

* How to determine your two most important priorities based on where you are in your business

* How to identify which tasks actually need your attention when your capacity is limited

* Why personal connection can be a faster path to one-on-one clients than focusing heavily on audience growth

* How giving yourself more time can help you make better strategic decisions

* A simple practice for getting everything out of your head and prioritizing what matters most

Inspiration for this week:

What actually matters most in your business right now?

Take some time to write down everything you feel like you need or want to do. Then look at each item and ask:

If I don’t do this today (or even this week) what will actually happen?

Notice which tasks directly impact your clients or your current goals, which ones are helping you build toward something longer-term, and which ones can wait.

You don’t have to do everything. You just need to know what matters most right now.

As we count down to the conference, I’m introducing you to some of the incredible women who will be sharing their wisdom with our community.

Today, I’m excited to introduce you to Barb Hubbard, an ADHD coach and EFT tapping practitioner who supports women and solopreneurs with time management, emotional regulation, overwhelm, and all the things that can make running a business feel harder than it needs to.

In our conversation, we talk about:

✨ Why imposter syndrome can keep showing up as we grow, and how community, encouragement, and support can help us move through it.

✨ Why your offer or idea doesn’t have to be perfect before you put it out into the world, and how feedback can help you make it better.

✨ Why time management isn’t always the real problem, and how calming your nervous system and getting clear on your priorities can help you focus on what will actually move your business forward.

Barb also shares how she’ll help conference attendees use EFT tapping to calm their nervous systems, identify what’s truly important, and build confidence in their ability to take the next step. Instead of simply learning another time-management strategy or buying another planner, you’ll walk away with a tool you can continue using whenever you need to quiet the overwhelm and get clear on what matters most.

If you’ve ever bought another planner thinking this is finally going to be the thing that gets me organized, only to find yourself still feeling overwhelmed, or if you struggle with knowing what you should be doing but can’t seem to get yourself to take action, I think you’ll really enjoy this conversation.

And if you’ve been longing for a place where you can learn practical strategies, have honest conversations, and build genuine relationships with other purpose-driven women, I’d love to invite you to join us for Gather & Grow this October.

In this episode, Becky and Jason kick off a conversation about one of the things that can make entrepreneurship so much harder than it needs to be: building a business around an idealized version of your life instead of the life you’re actually living.

When you’re ambitious and full of ideas, it’s easy to create plans based on what you could accomplish on your best day. But what happens when you’re sick, your kids need you, a client has an unexpected request, or you simply don’t have the mental or emotional capacity you thought you would?

Most importantly, this episode invites you to rethink what consistency really means. Instead of trying to do everything every week, what if consistency meant continuing to move toward what matters most over time?

In this episode, you’ll learn:

* How unrealistic expectations can lead to burnout, resentment, and dropping important growth activities

* Why missing a task or taking a slower week doesn’t mean you’ve failed

* How to shift from judging your plans to getting curious about what actually works for you

* A simple way to prioritize your top three priorities when everything feels important

* How regularly checking in with what matters most can help you build a business that supports your life

Inspiration for this week:

How are you feeling about your business right now?

What are you loving, and what isn’t quite working the way you want it to?

Instead of judging yourself for what isn’t working, get curious: What would you like it to be like instead? And what possibilities might help you get there?

Gather & Grow isn’t just another online conference. It’s an opportunity to step away from the day-to-day demands of your business, make meaningful progress on what matters most, and build genuine relationships with other heart-centered women who understand the journey.

As we count down to the conference, I’m introducing you to some of the incredible women who will be sharing their wisdom with our community.

Today, I’m excited to introduce you to Judy Murdoch, a marketing consultant who helps purpose-led solopreneurs create marketing that actually fits their businesses and connects them with the people they most want to serve.

In our conversation, we talk about:

✨ Why so much of the marketing advice we see online isn’t designed for service-based businesses, and why you’re not a commodity.

✨ Why marketing is a long game and how relationships, referrals, and consistency can matter much more than finding the “right” marketing tactic.

✨ How to create marketing around the real words, needs, and experiences of your ideal clients instead of trying to sound like everyone else.

Judy also shares how she’ll help conference attendees use conversations with their clients to create marketing that speaks directly to the people they want to reach. You’ll learn how to use your clients’ own words and experiences to make your marketing more relevant, more genuine, and more likely to help the right people recognize that you’re the person who can help them.

If you’ve ever felt frustrated by marketing, wondered why the strategies that seem to work for everyone else aren’t working for you, or thought, “Where are my people?” I think you’ll really enjoy this conversation.

And if you’ve been longing for a place where you can learn practical strategies, have honest conversations, and build genuine relationships with other purpose-driven women, I’d love to invite you to join us for Gather & Grow this October.

And when you register before September 1st, you’ll also get access to Judy’s bonus pre-conference workshop: How to Attract a Steady Flow of Ideal Client Referrals.

As we count down to the conference, I’m introducing you to some of the incredible women who will be sharing their wisdom with our community.

Today, I’m excited to introduce you to Lauren Moyer, a licensed clinical social worker and somatic practitioner who helps women recognize unconscious patterns and begin living from possibility.

In our conversation, we talk about:

✨ Why knowing what you should do isn’t always enough to actually take action, and why awareness is only the beginning.

✨ How confidence often grows because of taking action, rather than something we need to have before we begin.

✨ Why procrastination, perfectionism, and the feeling that we’re “not ready yet” may be connected to deeper patterns that are trying to protect us.

Lauren also shares how she’ll help conference attendees explore the protective patterns that may be quietly shaping their decisions and keeping them stuck. Together, they’ll begin looking beyond the familiar patterns and exploring what’s possible when we can approach ourselves with greater curiosity and compassion.

If you’ve ever found yourself thinking, “I know what I need to do. So why am I not doing it?” or you’ve been waiting to feel ready before taking the next step in your business, I think you’ll really enjoy this conversation.
