  • How to Make Instagram Fun Again (and Still Attract Clients) With Jenna Harding
    Oct 28 2025

    If Instagram has started feeling like a stressful full-time job instead of a creative way to make more money as an online coach or practitioner, this episode is your permission slip to have fun again.

    I sit down with Instagram strategist Jenna Harding, who helps coaches and service-based business owners have more fun on Instagram while growing more effectively at the same time, so they can get more clients without burning out or losing their authenticity.

    We dig into the mindset shifts and practical strategies that make Instagram enjoyable and effective as a coach or service provider. From breaking free of perfectionism to creating content that feels natural, Jenna shares how to stop overthinking, start showing up as yourself, and still grow your business.

    If you’ve ever caught yourself obsessing over reach, algorithms, or even your camera angle, you’re going to love this conversation.

  • How to Handle Business Challenges with Resilience and Optimism With Brad Bizjack
    Oct 14 2025

    In this powerful and no-holds-barred conversation, I sit down with Brad Bizjack, a mindset strategist and personal development expert who's walked through monumental challenges and rebuilt his life and business from the ashes.

    We dive into why mindset is more than just “be positive,” how your relationship with problems determines your trajectory, and what it actually looks like to build resilience in 2025.

    If you’ve felt stuck or overwhelmed by business problems lately, this episode will leave you feeling lighter, more empowered, and ready to move forward.

    Brad’s journey from being $92,000 in debt to leading thousands through transformation gives him rare credibility and perspective as a mindset coach.

    He shares raw, personal stories of collapse and rebirth, and practical tools you can use right now to shift your thinking, rewire limiting patterns, and deal with adversity with more clarity and strength.

    Timeline Highlights
    • [00:03:09] Brad’s backstory: struggling, in debt, and binge-watching reruns... until a mindset shift changed everything

    • [00:09:04] Why “mindset” is misunderstood: blind positivity vs. true optimism

    • [00:12:28] Your success is proportional to your relationship with problems

    • [00:17:43] When it all went wrong: a cascade of events collapsing Brad’s business

    • [00:23:09] The turning point: shifting from problem-focus to solution-focus

    • [00:24:11] The root: subconscious patterns from childhood that derail your business

    • [00:45:17] Zooming out: cycles, seasons, and how perspective changes everything

    Top 5 Quotes from Brad
    1. “Mindset is not 'be positive'. That is not what that means. It requires true optimism to face what you're dealing with.”
    2. “True mindset work is about identifying the toxic beliefs, the thought processes, the limiting emotional patterns, the limiting identities, the energetic state that you tend to live in consistently, and being a mirror for the pieces of your heart that aren't healed yet.”

    3. “Your success is completely and directly proportional to the quality of your relationship with problems.”

    4. “Whatever you are currently resisting in your life is the thing you are giving your power away to.”

    5. “Successful people recognize that they are an emotional thermostat, not a thermometer. They might have a little dip, but they'll be pretty steady throughout it.”
