Woman of Influence

In this episode, I’m sharing a powerful conversation I had with Keren Eldad, elite executive coach, bestselling author, and brilliant mind, who flew out to Nashville to sit down with me in my home studio for a conversation on messaging, identity, and the work of becoming the next version of yourself. We go deep into my origin story as a burned-out publicist, the $30,000 credit card debt I hid from my husband, the rock bottom that cracked me open, and the two-year transformation that took me from racking up debt to making $1.3 million in a single year.

Keren pulls on the provocative idea I’ve been sharing publicly, that your ideal client may no longer be an old version of you, and we unpack my Identity Elevation Framework in detail, from the Former Self buyer who stays stuck in pain, to the Working Self buyer who hustles for the next tip, to the Highest Self buyer who’s buying decision and transformation. We talk about why your mess can be part of your story but can never be your message, how to shift from marketing on pain to marketing on desire, the role of human design and body wisdom in knowing when something is off, and the contrary action I’m practicing now at this edge of my career. If you’ve evolved personally but your messaging hasn’t caught up, this episode is your invitation to do the real work.

In this episode, I sit down in my home studio with Cait Scudder, founder of The Millionaire Mother movement and the brilliant author of her brand new book Born for Both. By the time this episode airs, Cait will be a mother of four and her book will be out in the world, and I could not think of a more timely, grounding, and necessary conversation to share with you. We dig into what it really means to steward both a legacy inside the home and inside the world, and why so many of us have been operating on default programming that keeps us burnt out, bottlenecked, and quietly collapsing behind the scenes.

Cait breaks down the Matriarch Operating System, the four archetypes most women unknowingly embody (the maiden, the martyr, the girl boss, and the man), and the 4H framework (head, heart, hands, home) she lays out in her book to help mother CEOs stop white-knuckling and start building a village that actually holds them. We get into the heartbreaking story of her grandmother that opens the book, the research on cortisol and children's stress response, why mom wine culture and mommy group trauma bonding is doing more damage than women realize, and the critical difference between falling into victimhood and using motherhood as fuel to rise. If you've ever felt the pull between being present at bath time and showing up for your business, this episode will meet you exactly where you are and shift the way you think about both.

[EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO RUN YOUR BUSINESS]With this platform, you can handle product management, marketing, and sales all in one place, making your life easier and your business smoother. Start here.

In this episode, I'm diving into a topic that hits home for so many online coaches, educators, and creators: how to turn visibility into actual sales. Maybe you've got the views, maybe you've got the followers, maybe you have an email list, maybe you're consistently showing up every day on social, but the sales just aren't coming in. Today, we're getting over that hump so you can start seeing conversions from all the hard work you're doing.

I share the story of a recent client who came to me with 52,000 Instagram followers and a growing email list of nearly 7,000 people, yet was still struggling to make even $3,000 a month. We diagnosed exactly where the bottleneck was, in her messaging and her offer positioning, and I walk you through exactly how we fixed it, from restructuring her general wellness content into a laser-focused "how to incorporate more movement into your day" message, to reverse engineering her offer from her ideal client's actual problem. If you're ready to stop guessing and finally align your content, freebies, and offers into a system that sells on its own, this episode gives you the roadmap.

In this episode, I'm sharing something I recently taught in a live training with a group of brilliant online coaches and entrepreneurs. It's the timeless strategies of subtraction, scaling, and automation that let me run a business without constantly having to reinvent the wheel or physically show up to sell something in order to make money. That, to me, is not the definition of freedom. And it's not the way I roll.

I get real about the month my older sister passed away in January 2023, when my business still made $208,000 even though I wasn't in the mood to sell, because my sales system was already built to compound whether I was there or not. I share why I resisted funnels for two full years thinking they were "too bro marketer," how I recently made over $50K on a 10-day Hawaii trip without selling a thing, and the truth about why ads don't work for most people (spoiler: it's not the ad agency, it's the messaging). If you're ready to stop wearing the badge of burnout and finally let automation carry the weight of your business, this episode is your permission slip.

In this episode, I'm getting into the three specific things I doubled down on this year that made all the difference in calling in ideal clients at a completely new level including six-figure months during the "off season," posting only twice a week, and taking nearly a month off this summer while still seeing massive sales. This isn't theory. It's exactly what I did, and exactly what I teach my clients to do. If you're not converting people from your content the way you know you should be, this episode is going to give you the roadmap.

I break down why casting a wider net is a trap, why speaking to "anyone your work could benefit" is why you're not hitting consistent 50K plus months, and how to go from shallow and wide to laser-focused for every single offer in your ecosystem. I share the story of the client who invested in a $20K VIP day even though she wasn't at the revenue milestone I typically work with (because she saw herself in my content), why "me, me, me" language is quietly killing your conversions, and the one question every entrepreneur is asking wrong when they sit down to create content. If you're ready to end the year strong, tighten up your messaging, and finally see your content sell for you like hotcakes, this is your episode.

Welcome to Part 2 of this incredible panel conversation with Lori Pine and Stacey Salyer. In Part 1, we navigated authority, discernment, and what it really costs to lead. Now, we're going deeper into the standard—what these two powerhouse women are no longer willing to tolerate in order to truly live out and shepherd the authority they've built. We talk about evolution, when to know it's a divine calling versus fear or boredom, and how both Lori and Stacey have made major identity shifts along their journeys from corporate leaders to founders of their own brands.

We get into the corporate advantage that changes everything (spoiler: knowing you don't have to do every job in your business), why the low barrier of entry in the online space traps women into believing they should do it all themselves, and the "who not how" mindset that will free you if you let it. I share the story of a woman at The Grove who pulled me aside 11 years ago and told me to stop saying "none of us know what we're doing" and how that one conversation shifted my standard forever. Lori opens up about building "The Joy CEO" brand, Stacey shares how she bought a property management business as a single mom with $25K down and seller financing, and we all get honest about the tolerance level required at each new level of leadership. If you're ready to raise your standard, own your expertise, and stop shrinking to make everyone else comfortable, this episode is your green light.

In this powerful panel conversation I sit down with two incredible women from my mastermind community, Lori Pine and Stacey Salyer, for an honest conversation about what it really means to step into your authority as a leader. Both women bring decades of corporate experience (Lori ran a billion-dollar business; Stacey came out of the male-dominated property management industry) and are now navigating what it looks like to build their own brands and become the go-to authorities in their respective fields.

We get into the responsibility of authority, why a casual "oh, I love her" can carry more weight than we realize, and how to have the tough conversations when someone isn't who they seem to be. We talk about Stacey's ego-driven belief that she could just make a course and have hundreds of thousands roll in, Lori's expensive coaching investment that felt like burning cash in a bonfire, and the "electric fence" moments that shaped who they are now. We unpack the "Cheesecake Factory of consultants" trap, why niching down is terrifying but necessary, and the bow-and-arrow metaphor that will change how you think about the restriction phase you might currently be in. Make sure to come back for Part 2, where we go even deeper into what it takes to lead at this level.

In this special turned-tables episode, my incredible Director of Operations, Erin Lindstrom, drops into my living room and interviews me on everything from how my lens for messaging was formed, to the frameworks I walk clients through inside the Revenue Accelerator, to the personal side of my life that I rarely talk about publicly. Erin asks me questions I've genuinely never been asked before and I share openly about my Human Design, my journalism background, why I believe none of us are reinventing the wheel, and the "fifth-grade language" test I run every framework through before I teach it.

We go into the depths of Mirror Messaging vs. pain point marketing, why the real work of the Revenue Accelerator is a reclamation of who you are at your core, and why women often get stuck when they refuse to slow down enough to feel what their next-level really requires. I share what I've learned about being at the "higher level" (spoiler: the problems don't disappear, they magnify), the Contrary Action framework I use for visibility, the wildflower-versus-oak-tree analogy that's shaping how I think about quality over quantity, and the concept of loving detachment and stewardship that runs through both my business and my home life. If you've ever wondered what it really looks like behind the scenes of a Julie Solomon business, and life, this episode is for you.

In this episode, I sit down with Callan Faulkner, founder of The Uncommon Business and the world's leading voice on AI education for entrepreneurs, for a jaw-dropping conversation about how AI is completely reshaping the way we build, scale, and lead our businesses. Callan is scaling to $40-50 million in revenue this year with just 40 humans and over 150 AI employees, and she's here to show us that AI isn't just for tech founders or seven-figure businesses. It's for stay-at-home moms, coaches, plumbers, steel manufacturers, and every woman in between who is ready to stop drowning in manual work and start actually building the business she was meant to build.

We break down the exact difference between using AI and building systems with AI, what an "AI employee" actually is (spoiler: it starts with a Claude skill), and how to identify the low-hanging fruit in your business right now. Callan walks us through real examples—from an AI employee that manages school emails and meal plans to Instacart, to the ones that write podcast pitches, run recruiting, and draft content in your voice. We tackle the biggest objections, including "will this replace my human assistant?", "isn't AI going to steal my creativity?", and "what about my data?" If you've ever felt stuck in the weeds of your business, this is your invitation to see what's actually possible—and it all starts with her AI Employee Bootcamp this fall.
