In today’s episode, I’m doing something I’ve never done before… Critiquing the new website of a well-known entrepreneur, Jenna Kutcher. This is a respectful, yet direct critique about the opportunities I see for Jenna to elevate your new brand. While I’ve always loved Jenna’s websites and look to her for a inspiration as fellow creative. But this time around, I see a few core mistakes that I think are helpful for all of us to take a look at. Especially, for a brand like Jenna’s who so many look up to and might want to emulate. I also share: A few personal updates and some fun facts about my daughter (she just turned 5!) A brand new offering that just launched that’s just $97 and I’m having so much fun with already! Some key intel about my business mentorship program, YWB, and the last cohort of 2024 And more!   To submit your question, visit the show notes.   Follow Me On: Facebook

Happy June! In this week’s episode, I share why this month - and the summer season in general - is such a nostalgic time of year for me. And remains one of my favorites. While summer can bring so much energy and aliveness to our lives, it can also inspire slowness and an “out of office” vibe that takes us out of the momentum of growth as entrepreneurs. This isn’t necessarily a bad thing - but we want to make sure we find a way to balance out the play and the productivity in an intentional way. Which is why I share 6 things I’m doing to enjoy summertime while also making important and consistent moves inside my business.

Today I’m diving into one of the best ways to serve your clients and potentially scale your business (if that’s your goal!), and that is through GROUP PROGRAMS. So, if you’ve been thinking about creating one, are about to launch one, or are looking to refine the one you’ve been running for years - This episode is for you. Group programs are magic for a few reasons: They give you the opportunity to have a bigger impact beyond private, one-on-one offers. Instead of serving a handful of clients at once, you can serve many more. They create community which is a highly transformative component of the human experience. Being held in community is often the special sauce behind the best group programs. They are often rinse and repeat in nature. You can create content for them once - like video lessons, audio lessons, homework assignments - and be done aside from ongoing tweaks and enhancements. They usually require less of your time and energy. Instead of having daily private calls with clients, you have one weekly

Today’s topic was inspired by a recent conversation with a client who has spent a decade trying to get her health coaching business off the ground. But, as she shared with me, has had very little success. Just like so many people who start businesses, she knows she’s meant to help people - she yearns to change lives, but can’t figure out why it’s been such a struggle. As I chatted with her to help identify what’s been in the way of her building momentum, making money, and having an impact… I discovered two core things that have been holding her back without her knowing it.  Giving up on her ideas and creations too soon. Looking for the perfect formula or framework. Inside the episode, I share how these have played a big role in blocking momentum, clients, and money from flowing easily in her direction. I also share how I started my business mentorship program, Your Wellness Brand, in 2017, and how I could have perceived it as a failure - but instead stayed the course and earned multiple 6-figures from that
