Your Q1 Post-Mortem: What Worked, What Didn’t & What Comes Next

Before we plan Q2, we’ve got to get honest about Q1. In this episode of Unjaded, I’m walking you through a full post-mortem process for the first quarter of your business year — so you can get clear on what worked, what didn’t, and what needs to shift.

We’re not doing this to beat ourselves up — we’re doing it so we can move forward intentionally and start showing up like the CEO your business needs.

Here’s what you’ll walk away with:

• A simple yet powerful quarterly reflection process you can repeat anytime
• How to use Human Design and real data to course-correct
• The difference between busy work and income-producing activities (and why that matters more than ever)
• Why tracking your time and revenue is a non-negotiable if you want sustainable growth
• How to notice burnout before it takes you down — and what to do about it
• What your energy type and authority can tell you about your business rhythms

Whether Q1 felt like a win or a wash, this episode will help you get your feet on the ground and plan your next moves with clarity and confidence.

3 Steps to Create a Clear Business Strategy That Gets You Hired

Do you ever look at your beautiful website, all your offers lined up, and think “Why isn’t anyone booking with me?” You’re not alone. In today’s episode of Unjaded, we’re unpacking why your ideal clients might be clicking away—and what you can do to change that.

This episode is packed with practical strategy—because here’s the truth: if you’re confused about your offers, your audience is definitely confused. When you confuse, you lose.

I’m walking you through three essential steps to create a clear, aligned pathway for your audience to follow—so you actually get hired. Whether you’re a healer, coach, or Human Design practitioner, this is the structure your business needs to grow with clarity.

Here’s what we'll cover:

✨ How to differentiate yourself in a saturated space—plus a real case study from one of my Human Design clients

✨ Why clarity in your offers creates confidence in your audience (and how too many choices is killing your conversions)

✨ A simple client pathway strategy that works with your Human Design—not against it

You’ll also hear why your lead magnet might be hurting you more than helping, how to design a welcome sequence that sells, and why integration is the key to building deeper relationships with your clients.

This is the exact process I’m working through with private clients right now—and I want you to have it too.

Have you ever felt like you couldn’t say what you really wanted to say in your content? Have you softened your message so much that it lost its impact—or deleted a post entirely before even sharing it? If so, this episode is for you.

Today, we’re diving deep into the witch wound—a centuries-old conditioning that still affects how women express themselves today. I’ll unpack what the witch wound is, how it shows up in business and content creation, and why so many of us feel the pressure to hold back.

Your voice is meant to be heard. Your message isn’t about what others need to hear—it’s about what you came here to say. And it’s time to start peeling back the layers of conditioning that have silenced you for too long.

In this episode, we’ll explore:

✔️ Why so many women struggle to fully express themselves in their content

✔️ How the witch wound manifests in business and visibility

✔️ The conditioning that teaches women they are “too much” (too assertive, too loud, too direct)

✔️ A powerful exercise to uncover the first moment you felt silenced

✔️ Why this is lifelong work—and how to start releasing your voice

✔️ How Human Design (especially 5th line profiles) plays a role in this conditioning

✔️ The truth about sharing your message boldly and unapologetically

If you’ve ever struggled with feeling like you need to play small, water down your message, or hold back your truth, this episode is your permission slip to step into your full voice and power.

If you’ve ever felt the pressure to perfectly define everything you do in one neat little sentence—this episode is for you.

In today’s episode of Unjaded, I share two real-world experiences that might just help you reframe how you think about your business. Whether you’ve spent years gathering different healing modalities or you're struggling to wrap all your skills into one perfect title, it’s time to release the stress and embrace what really matters: the problem you solve and the results you provide.

✨ Why your clients don’t care about your certifications—they care about their transformation

✨ How a local coffee + bike shop (yes, really) made me rethink business branding

✨ Why healers, coaches, and service providers need to stop obsessing over their "tools"

✨ The importance of building trust through your content instead of over-explaining what you do

✨ How to shift your messaging to focus on the problem you solve, not just the services you offer

How clear is your Instagram bio? Does it instantly communicate what you do and how you help people? In this episode of Unjaded, Vickie Dickson walks through a real-life conversation from a boot camp she led, helping a participant refine her messaging for greater impact.

Vickie breaks down the common pitfalls of using vague, spiritual, or overly complex language in bios and messaging. She shares how one participant transformed her unclear, coach-speak-heavy bio into a direct, compelling statement that resonates with her ideal clients. This episode will help you rethink how you present yourself online so that people immediately understand what you do and why they need your help.

✔️ Why spiritual jargon and coach speak can dilute your message

✔️ How to pinpoint the real problem your clients are experiencing

✔️ The importance of using clear, direct language in your bio and marketing

✔️ A step-by-step example of refining a bio to make it more compelling

✔️ Why your bio (and all messaging) should evolve as you and your ideal clients evolve

🔹 People need to instantly understand what you do—don’t make them work for it

🔹 Speak directly to your ideal client's pain points in a way they recognize

🔹 Remove unnecessary fluff—clarity converts!

🔹 Use “so that” statements to show the tangible outcome of your work

🔹 Your bio isn’t set in stone—keep refining it as you gain clarity

✨ Revisit your Instagram bio, tagline, or any place where you introduce yourself online.

✨ Challenge yourself to strip away any confusing language and clearly state:

👉 Who you help

👉 What problem they have

👉 How you solve it

👉 What outcome they can expect

Are You Making This Lead Magnet Mistake?

Episode Summary:

There’s a lot of bad advice floating around in the online space, especially when it comes to lead magnets. If you’ve ever been told that your Human Design type dictates the kind of lead magnet you should create—throw that advice out the window! In this episode, Vickie Dickson dives into the real purpose of a lead magnet and how to create one that actually gets you hired.

Vickie shares insights from a recent workshop where entrepreneurs struggled with misaligned lead magnets that weren’t leading their audience anywhere useful. She breaks down the two key jobs of a lead magnet:

1. Giving your audience a quick win.
2. Opening a loop that leaves them hungry for more.

If your lead magnet overwhelms people or feels like a college course, it’s missing the mark. Vickie shares real examples from business owners who revamped their approach—like a Human Design parenting coach and a movement-based coach—to create lead magnets that seamlessly lead into their paid offers.

If you want your lead magnet to work for you (not just sit in someone’s downloads folder collecting dust), this episode is a must-listen!

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

✔ Why “cookie-cutter” Human Design lead magnet advice is complete nonsense.

✔ The two jobs every lead magnet must accomplish.

✔ Real-life examples of effective lead magnets that drive conversions.

✔ How to ensure your lead magnet aligns with your paid offer.

✔ The importance of keeping it simple—your audience is already overwhelmed!

Your Challenge:

Take a hard look at your current lead magnet. Does it fit the bill? Does it create a quick win and lead to your offer? If not, it’s time to go back to the drawing board!
