  • #91 - How to Choose the Right Marketing Strategies For YOU with Michelle DeNio
    Oct 8 2025

    Thoughts? Topics you need help with? Tell me everything!

    If you've ever felt overwhelmed by all the marketing noise (ahem 🙋🏼‍♀️), then this episode is your reset button. 👏

    In this powerful peer-to-peer convo, I sit down with business coach + marketing strategist Michelle DeNio to talk about what no one tells you:

    👉 Every marketing strategy can work.
    But not every strategy will work for you.

    Michelle breaks down how to cut through the noise, stop chasing shiny tactics, and build a marketing strategy that fits YOUR values, brain, lifestyle, and capacity. We talk about finding clarity, ditching misaligned launches, and trusting yourself to say “no” to the cookie-cutter playbooks.

    🎯 Whether you're stuck in strategy burnout or wondering what to focus on next, this episode is packed with clarity.

    Big Takeaways:

    • 💡 How to reverse-engineer a strategy that matches your lifestyle
    • 🤯 Why your business model should fit your energy type (not a guru’s funnel)
    • 🚫 The dangers of one-size-fits-all advice
    • 🧠 The mindset shifts every solopreneur needs to scale sustainably
    • 🔄 A real look at email, podcasts, launches, SEO, and networking — what actually works (and for who)

    Michelle also shares:

    • Her favorite underrated strategy for lead generation 🔥
    • Why she hosts weekly 4-on-4 networking calls that are full of referrals
    • How she turned coffee chats into a 6-figure business without fancy funnels

    This is a real, honest conversation for purpose-driven entrepreneurs who are done with the overwhelm and ready to show up in alignment.

  • #90 - 5 Signs Your Sales Strategy is Out of Alignment (and How to Fix Them)
    Sep 30 2025

    Thoughts? Topics you need help with? Tell me everything!

    Are you doing all the right things in your business? You're posting, showing up, sharing offers and following up, but creating sales still feels like you're standing awkwardly against the wall at the dance wondering if anyone sees you?

    Yeah. Been there.

    The problem might not be your funnel, your script, or your price point. It might be that your sales energy is out of alignment.

    In this episode, I share the 5 signs that your sales strategy is out of alignment and how to shift back into integrity. These signs show up whether you’re selling a $5,000 coaching program or a $15 product, because alignment isn’t about the number, it’s about the energy behind your sales process.

    You’ll hear real examples from my own journey and client stories, plus I’ll give you a mini self-audit prompt for each sign so you can start spotting leaks in your own sales approach.

    When you realign your energy, sales conversations stop feeling like you're chasing a high-school crush and start feeling like the best people are coming to your party.
