Many solopreneurs struggle with selling because it feels pushy or uncomfortable. In this episode of Honest Convos, we dive into the mindset of sales and why it does not have to feel icky. Selling is not taking money from someone. It is offering value, solving a problem, and helping people experience transformation.

We share stories from our own sales journeys, from early jobs to seven-figure deals, and discuss why withholding your offer actually prevents people from receiving the help they need. If you have ever felt resistance to selling, this episode will help you reframe it as an invitation and empower you to show up with confidence.

It’s time to get real. If you're still treating your business like a side hustle or a passion project, this episode is your wake-up call. In this no-fluff conversation, we talk about what it actually means to treat your business like a business, from shifting out of employee or operator mode and fully stepping into your role as CEO.

We break down why identity drives behavior, how to build systems that prevent burnout, and what it looks like to build a company that respects your time, energy, and expertise. Whether you're flying solo or have a small team, this episode will help you start operating like the business owner you already are with clarity, structure, and the confidence to lead.

Being a leader for your community can feel both exciting and exhausting. You want to show up, but some days you are tired, second-guessing yourself, or worried you do not have the right words. In this episode of Honest Convos, we get real about what it actually looks like to support your people without sacrificing yourself in the process. We share the traps that burn leaders out, the difference between performing and leading with authenticity, and how to create rhythms that let you be present without feeling drained.

If you have ever worried about letting your people down or felt the weight of carrying it all, this conversation will remind you that you can lead with honesty, clarity, and boundaries that protect your energy.

Transitions are a part of life and business that we often underestimate. Whether it is sending kids back to school, stepping into a new season of growth, or restructuring a business, change can feel both exciting and overwhelming at the same time.

In this episode of Honest Convos, we talk about what transitions really feel like, why they can stir up such big emotions, and how to navigate them with clarity, intention, and grace. From personal stories about family milestones to strategies for handling business shifts, this conversation is about learning to embrace change instead of resisting it.

In this episode of Honest Convos with Carin and Marcia, we’re diving into the real work of becoming your future self. We talk about why identity drives everything you do, how visioning and meditation can help you see the next version of yourself, and the discomfort that comes with stepping into new shoes before they feel like they fit.

From clearing out old offers that no longer align to creating space in your life and business for what’s next, this conversation is about closing the gap between who you are now and who you’re becoming. If you’ve ever felt the pull toward your next level but struggled with letting go of what’s “working well enough,” this one’s for you.

We all know about launch hangovers, but the truth is they show up after any big push in your business. Whether it’s a new offer, a networking event, quarterly planning, or even hitting a huge milestone, there’s often a dip once the adrenaline fades.

In this episode, we talk about why these emotional and physical crashes happen, why they’re completely normal, and how to plan for decompression so you can actually celebrate your wins without the guilt. You’ll hear our own experiences with post-event and post-launch lows, plus practical tips to recover, reset, and protect your energy.

Imagine getting DMs from dream clients about content you posted years ago—ready to work with you, no questions asked. That’s the power of evergreen content. In this episode, we break down how to create content that keeps working long after you hit “publish,” the different formats that can build your rabbit hole of value, and how to make sure your marketing does the heavy lifting for you. From blogs to videos to podcasts, we’re sharing the strategies, examples, and boundary-setting tips that help your content bring in leads on autopilot—without you living on the hamster wheel.

What if the reason your strategies aren’t working isn’t because you’re doing something wrong—but because you’re in a different season now? In this honest convo, we’re unpacking how life changes, energy shifts, and evolving priorities can create a “seasonal mismatch” between what you’re doing and what actually aligns with who you are today. We share personal stories about business, burnout, changing capacity, and how to stop holding yourself to outdated standards that no longer fit. If you’ve been second-guessing your goals or wondering why certain things don’t excite you anymore—this one will feel like a deep exhale.
