If you’ve ever wondered why you know what to do… but still don’t do it, this episode is your missing puzzle piece. I’m joined by subconscious reprogramming expert and hypnotherapist Bri Seeley to talk about how your old identity is secretly running the show—and how to swap it out for the upgraded, future-you version that’s already living the life you want. This conversation is juicy, practical, and packed with the exact mental shifts that will change how you think, feel, and create results in your business (and life) starting now.

Why mindset work isn’t enough—and what’s actually running the show behind the scenes

The real difference between conscious thought and subconscious programming (and how it’s sabotaging your goals)

How to identify the exact moment your brain tries to pull you back into old patterns

What hypnosis actually is (spoiler: it's not woo, it's science—and it works)

How to install your future self’s operating system so you stop bumping your head against the same damn ceiling

If you’re tired of working harder without getting further, this is your sign to stop pushing and start reprogramming.

If you’re feeling like you need a real system for attracting clients—one that works now, not 6 months from now—you’re in the right place. In this episode, I’m breaking down the exact client booking machine I teach inside Yay for Clients. We’re talking about the rhythms of marketing that actually matter, how to know what to focus on based on when you need clients, and the truth about why some strategies just aren’t working for you. Spoiler: It’s not because you’re lazy—it’s because nobody gave you the right system. Until now.

• The 3 rhythms of marketing I swear by: daily drips, weekly drizzles, and occasional storms
• My Red-Yellow-Green philosophy for knowing what kind of marketing to do when
• The reason your social media might be working... just not how you think
• What to focus on if you need clients yesterday
• Why I’m obsessed with free (and paid!) mini services

If your calendar feels like a game of Jenga and your client work is taking over your entire life, this episode is your wake-up call. I’m breaking down the real reason service providers like us are always burned out—and spoiler alert: it’s not because we’re bad at time management. I’ll walk you through the four essential areas every business needs (yes, four), why most people only focus on one, and how that’s totally wrecking your schedule. I’m also sharing the 50% Rule that saved my sanity and how I use it to create space for CEO time, client delivery, marketing, and more—without running myself into the ground.

• Why being “booked out” doesn’t automatically mean success
• The 4 departments every business needs to function sustainably
• How I use the 50% Rule to avoid burnout and resentment
• What “CEO time” actually looks like for me (and why I don’t schedule it on Fridays)
• My step-by-step process for mapping out client delivery without overcommitting
