Show Notes

In this episode, Becky is joined by her husband, Jason, as they explore what it really looks like to feel stuck in your business and how to start moving forward again.

From getting caught in cycles of overthinking or constant learning to juggling too many ideas (or not giving anything enough time to work), this episode offers an honest look at the patterns that can quietly keep you spinning your wheels.

Becky shares insights from her own journey and her work with clients, along with simple, practical ways to recognize when you’re stuck and how to begin building momentum again.

If you’ve been feeling like nothing is quite clicking or you’re unsure what to focus on next, this conversation will help you reset, refocus, and take your next step.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

* Why getting stuck in cycles of learning or overthinking can slow your progress

* How to recognize whether you’re in a natural pause or truly stuck

* A simple way to refocus on one aligned goal and move forward

* How to create a realistic, supportive plan (without overwhelming yourself)

* The importance of weekly check-ins and tracking your progress

* Why having support can make all the difference

Inspiration for this week:

If it feels like nothing is working, it doesn’t mean you’re off track.Sometimes it just means you haven’t given something enough time to work yet.

Stay with it. Keep going. Small steps still move you forward.

A quick behind-the-scenes moment:

At the beginning of this episode, Jason shared about a recent idea he brought to life for Becky. Here’s a photo of the nearly-finished bookshelf:

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. 💗

In this episode, Becky sits down with Dr. Catrina Mitchum, a learning experience designer who is rethinking how we create and deliver online offers, so they actually help people, not just give them more information.

After experiencing burnout in higher education, Catrina built a business that bridges education and online entrepreneurship. Her work focuses on helping business owners design learning experiences that lead to real understanding, application, and results.

Together, Becky and Catrina explore what’s often missing in the online course space, why many offers fall short, and how a more thoughtful, iterative approach can create something far more meaningful, for both you and the people you serve.

If you’ve ever thought about creating a course or want to better support your clients through your offers, this conversation will give you a fresh perspective on what actually works.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

* Why many online courses don’t lead to real results (and what’s missing)

* Why iteration (not perfection) is key to building effective offers

* How to approach feedback in a way that supports growth

* What to do when your ideas and your audience’s needs don’t fully align

* The role of community and support in both learning and business growth

Inspiration for this week:

You don’t have to get it perfect; you just have to get it into the hands of the people you’re here to help.

From there, you can listen, learn, and refine. That’s where the real impact is built.

About Dr. Catrina Mitchum:

Dr. Catrina Mitchum, founder of Catrina Mitchum Learning Design, is on a mission to revolutionize the online course creation space. She’s a recovering academic that’s been teaching adults online since 2009, and she uses her experience designing and delivering online courses to give course creation support to overwhelmed small business owners and aspiring course creators that give a sh*t about their course client success.

Join Becky McCleery and her husband and co-host, Jason, in this episode where they explore the real, behind-the-scenes story of how Becky built her business, from leaving her career as a teacher to navigating the many unknowns of entrepreneurship.

This isn’t a story of having a clear plan or getting it “right” from the start. It’s a story of trial and error, pivots, learning as you go, and continuing forward even when nothing seems to be working.

If you’ve ever felt like you don’t know what you’re doing (or wondered if you’re the only one), this episode is a reminder that most of us are figuring it out as we go, and that’s not a problem; it’s part of the process.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

* What led Becky to leave teaching and start exploring a different path

* The reality of starting a business without experience or a clear roadmap

* How her work evolved (and why those pivots mattered)

* The mindset shift that helped her move through “failure” and keep going

* Why “not knowing what you’re doing” might be exactly where you’re supposed to be

Inspiration for this week:

There are so many moments in this journey where it will feel uncertain.Keep going anyway. You’re learning more than you realize.
