This time last year, I told my business coach that 2025 was my make-it or break-it year. Either I hit my financial goal or I was shutting the whole thing down. I wasn't being dramatic. After two years where nothing was clicking, I needed something to change.

Fast forward 12 months? I hit my goal by mid-year (six months early), surpassed my former employee salary, built a team, and launched a coaching program. But I also went through grief, depression, and had to step down from meaningful work that was costing me too much.

In this episode, I'm sharing both sides of the story – the wins and what they cost – because if your business is 'successful' but you're suffering, that's not actually a win.

Here's what you'll learn:

• Why the 'make-it or break-it' decision actually worked (and how to make your own real decisions)
• The painfully simple strategy that changed everything: showing the f*** up
• How to know when you're hiding behind perfection instead of actually being visible
• Why you can love meaningful work and still need to step away from it
• The three lessons I'm taking into 2026 (that you can use too)
• How to build a business that supports your actual life instead of one that slowly kills you

If you've been wondering whether you should keep going with your business or if you're even really built for this entrepreneurial life, go give this episode a listen. And then tell me: What's the one real decision you're making heading into 2026?

If your Google Analytics dashboard makes you feel like you just bit into a lemon, you’re not alone. Most business owners either avoid their analytics altogether or stare at the numbers without knowing what the hell they mean.

In this episode, I’m joined by Amanda Webb, a digital marketing strategist and a self-proclaimed “Google Analytics geek,” who breaks down how to make your data make sense. Amanda shares her ACEE Framework — a simple, non-scary way to figure out what’s working in your marketing (and what’s not).

Here's what you’ll learn:

• Why traffic isn’t everything, and how 50,000 visitors doesn’t necessarily equal any sales at all
• The one new metric in GA4 that actually matters: engagement rate
• How to spot and fix a “leaky website” that’s losing you conversions
• Why you should change your data retention setting (yes, right now)
• When to DIY your analytics setup, and when to call in the pros

If numbers make you want to run for the hills, this episode will change your mind. So, go give it a listen — and then tell me which metric you’ll start tracking differently.

If you’ve ever wondered, “Do I actually need a website… or am I fine with just LinkedIn and Instagram?” this episode will help you evaluate when it’s worth the investment.

I break down when a website becomes a must-have trust builder for your business (and how to approach it effectively), and when you’re better off holding off and focusing on your message before you spend a dime.

You’ll learn:

• Why your website is the welcome mat of your business, and why a bad one is worse than none at all
• The red flags that tell me someone isn’t ready for a website yet
• The must-have foundations that make a website convert (your brand strategy, messaging framework, and clear client pathway)
• Why people still Google you, and why “no website” sets off alarm bells *ding-ding*
• The messaging + design mistakes that kill trust in potential clients
• What actually makes a website work (and why fancy design alone won’t cut it)

Whether you're designing your first site or wondering why your current one isn’t converting, this episode gives you the clarity you need to move forward with confidence.

If creating content feels like a second job you didn’t sign up for, this episode is your permission slip to do it differently.

In this episode, I’m sharing the details on The Bold Content Collective, a new kind of content program for founders and service providers who are tired of content chaos and ready for clarity, structure, and support.

• How The Bold Content Collective helps you create real content during the program
• How to repurpose and scale your content with AI without losing your human voice

If you’ve ever opened your inbox, looked at your client pipeline, scrolled through your content engagement, and thought, “Wait… is my business dying?” — take a deep breath. I’ve been there, more than once.

In this episode, I explain the exact difference between a slow season (normal, predictable, totally survivable) and a dead season (emotionally brutal, but fixable).

Inspired by the literal seasonal shift outside my window — fall turning to winter overnight — I talk about how business has seasons too. Some seasons are meant for rest and recalibration, while others are waking you up to the fact that something deeper is broken.

Using real examples from my own 5-month dead season (yes, five), I walk you through the five core signals that tell you exactly what you're experiencing so you don’t spiral into panic or denial.

You’ll learn:

• What slow seasons actually look like (and why they’re not a problem)
• Ways to support yourself and stay grounded during a slow season 😌
• Why slow periods often reveal issues that were already brewing under the surface
• What truly defines a dead season — energetically, strategically, and financially
• What to do when you’re in a dead season so you don’t burn your business down in panic
• How to turn a dead season into a catalyst for your next, more aligned chapter

Whether you're in a cozy, reflective phase or a “WTF is happening?!” era, this episode will help you see your business more clearly and respond with strategy instead of fear.

If you think branding is as simple as grabbing something cheap off of Fiverr or Canva, but the result just feels OFF, this episode is for you!

In this week’s episode, I talk with HoneyBeBold’s lead designer, Sandy Weberman, about what goes into creating a cohesive brand identity.

Together, we break down the difference between a quick DIY logo and a strategically built visual brand that tells your story before you say a word. From fonts that set the mood to white space that lets your message breathe, Sandy shares what really separates pretty graphics from a powerful brand system.

Whether you’re working with a designer or doing it yourself, you’ll learn:

• Why visuals that “don’t feel like you” usually signal a deeper strategy problem
• The real difference between a Fiverr logo and a strategic brand identity
• How typography quietly shapes emotion and brand perception
• Why white space isn’t “wasted” — it’s your best friend for focus and clarity
• How color psychology, contrast, and accessibility make or break your brand
• Ways to use photography and texture to make your visuals look authentic (even with stock photos 😉)
• Why consistency across platforms builds instant trust

If you’ve ever thought “I picked the wrong colors,” or “my logo doesn’t match my vibe,” grab your coffee and listen in — this episode will change how you see your brand visuals forever.

You’ve probably heard me talk about the Bold Day of Content (aka BDOC), but what actually happens during one?

In this episode, I’m taking you behind the scenes with two of my incredible clients — Sam Temple Neukom of Northbound and Sandy Weberman of Sandy Creative — who’ve each experienced the Bold Day of Content in their own way.

⚡️Sam runs a high-level brand strategy consultancy with a team and needed to scale her content without losing her unique voice.

⚡️Sandy is a solo creative who needed structure, strategy, and a confidence boost to show up more consistently.

We talk about:

• What it actually looks like to go through a Bold Day of Content
• The pain points that brought Sam and Sandy to me (chaotic content systems, unclear messaging, major content bottlenecks)
• What I delivered for each of them (spoiler: it’s not just social posts)
• How the experience gave them clarity, momentum, and more visibility, without the overwhelm

This real and transparent conversation takes you behind the scenes on what it looks like to finally get out of the content weeds and start showing up with a strategy you can stick to.

Whether you’re a solopreneur trying to find your rhythm or running a growing team, this episode will help you understand if the Bold Day of Content might be the right next step for your business.

• Curious to learn more? Book your Bold Day of Content or DM me BDOC and I’ll send you the details.
• Connect with Sam and Sandy over on LinkedIn (and tell them you found them through me!)
