In this behind-the-scenes episode, I’m sharing the real talk on three things I did in my most recent launch that I won't be doing again.

While it ended up being my least favourite launch to date, it came with some very valuable lessons that will shape how I launch moving forward. And that’s the thing about launching: you can only learn by doing. Sitting on the sidelines won’t give you the clarity, momentum, or insight that taking action does.

Inside this episode:

• Why I won’t be doing three webinars in one launch again (and what I’ll do instead)
• An offer decision that seemed like a no-brainer, but led to unexpected objections
• Why I had to extend the cart mid-launch, and what I learnt as a result

This episode will give you honest insights, practical takeaways, and permission to do things your way.

What if imposter syndrome wasn’t something to fix…but something to work with?

In this powerful episode, I’m joined by mindset and sales coach Christine Corcoran, bestselling author of Turn Imposter Syndrome into Your Superpower, to unpack how feelings of self-doubt can actually be the key to next-level growth.

We explore what imposter syndrome really is (hint: it’s not just a lack of confidence), how to use it to your advantage in business, and why some of your boldest moves might only happen because of imposter syndrome.

Inside this episode:

• Why imposter syndrome isn’t always a bad thing, and how it can signal your next level
• The reason high-achieving women feel self-doubt (and what to do when it shows up)
• How to take bold, aligned action even when you don’t feel ready

If you’ve ever hesitated to put your offer out there, launch something new, or speak up because of self-doubt and imposter syndrome, this conversation will change the way you think about imposter syndrome forever.

When I started this podcast, I had a tiny audience, not many listeners, and more doubts than downloads.

Now, 100+ episodes later, I’ve built an asset that brings people directly into my world - from clients, connections and collaborations. But it didn’t happen overnight, and it sure wasn’t easy. This episode is a raw reflection on the real path to sustainable content and visibility. If you’ve ever launched something (a podcast, a course, a business) and wondered, “Why isn’t this working yet?”, you need to hear this.

I share the exact mindset shifts, strategies, and tools that helped me keep going, even when very few were listening. From sticking it out during low-download months to choosing tools that save time and sanity, this is the behind-the-scenes no one talks about.

I also dive deep into what actually moved the needle: batching episodes to avoid burnout, building systems that made consistency possible, and using long-form content as the backbone for all my marketing. Plus, the uncomfortable truth: your results don’t always show up at the same time as your effort. But they do show up...if you stay the course.

So whether you’re in podcasting, course creation, or any kind of online business, this is your reminder to keep going. Reps matter. And starting small doesn't mean you're doing it wrong. It means you're in it for the long haul. Keep going...because your future self will thank you.
