In this episode of the Business Bravery Podcast, we're talking about the messy middle. And why I don't think it's something we ever really leave behind.

Every stage of business brings new challenges, new skills to learn, and new uncertainty. I share three different types of messy middles that coaches and service providers often experience, from identity shifts and business growth to the everyday realities that can change our plans overnight.

If you've been feeling the pressure to have it all figured out alongside everything else you're already holding, this one might be what you need right now.

We also talk about why action creates clarity. I share my own experience of putting off talking-to-camera reels and how taking imperfect action helped me build confidence instead of waiting for the perfect strategy.

This episode is a reminder that building an online business isn't about avoiding uncertainty. It's about learning to move through it with more self-compassion and confidence. So if you've been waiting until you feel ready, I hope you'll take one brave step forward today.

In this episode of the Business Bravery Podcast, I’m joined by Jackie Cowie, an Akashic Records Mentor who helps service-based women move from burnout to prosperity by building the capacity, identity, and self-trust to grow a sustainable online business.

We talk about why selling can feel so heavy when it comes from pressure instead of confidence. Jackie shares how burnout, self-worth, and identity all shape the way we show up for our clients and in our businesses. And why creating more capacity isn't just about doing less. It's about becoming the version of yourself who can hold more with ease.

If you've been feeling the pressure to keep pushing while juggling everything else you're already holding, this one might be what you need right now.

You'll also hear how Jackie navigated her own transition from chiropractor to mentor, and what it looked like to trust her next season of business growth, even before it felt comfortable.

This conversation is a reminder that your business can grow without leaving you exhausted. Sometimes the biggest shift starts with trusting who you're becoming

In this episode of the Business Bravery Podcast, I’m talking about something I see all the time with coaches and service providers.

Your business grows. You evolve. But your website, content, and online presence can sometimes get left behind.

We talk about what happens when your online business still reflects a past version of you, and why that disconnect can make it harder to show up confidently, talk about your work, and attract the right people.

I share some of my own experience of shifting direction in my business and updating my messaging to reflect where I am now. And yes, even after years in online marketing, those changes can still feel uncomfortable.

If you’ve been feeling hesitant to share your website, second-guessing your content, or wondering whether your personal brand still fits, this one might be what you need right now.

Because building a business isn't just about growth. It's about allowing your online presence to grow with you, in a way that actually fits real life and the season you're in.

And sometimes, a few small updates can help you feel more like yourself again.

In this episode of the Business Bravery Podcast, I’m talking about something I see all the time in online business. Changing direction too quickly.

As coaches and service providers, it’s easy to assume that if something isn’t working straight away, it needs to be changed. A new offer. A new message. A new direction.

But sometimes the real challenge is giving your ideas enough time to gain traction.

I share my own experience of pivoting too often and how it made it harder for my audience to understand what I actually did. We talk about business consistency, offer messaging, audience building, and why repetition matters more than most of us think.

If you’ve been feeling the pressure to get it right quickly, alongside everything else you’re already holding, this one might be what you need right now.

Slow growth doesn’t automatically mean something is wrong. Sometimes growth looks like staying the course long enough for people to notice, trust you, and take action.

A reminder that not every quiet season is a sign to reinvent your business.

In this episode of the Business Bravery Podcast, I’m joined again by Maggie Lynn Olson from Maggie Lynn Mentoring. And honestly, this conversation felt like such an important reminder that business growth doesn’t have to feel messy or overwhelming.

We talk about creating a clear client journey, building simple business systems, and having genuine DM conversations that actually lead to connection and sales. Maggie shares how small, consistent actions can create momentum in your online business, especially for coaches and service providers who are trying to grow sustainably.

You’ll hear why so many business owners keep important processes in their heads, and how that can make lead generation feel harder than it needs to be. We also talk about Human Design, alignment, and creating systems that support the way you naturally work.

And if you’ve been feeling pressure to do more, post more, or constantly be “on,” this one might be what you need right now.

In this episode of the Business Bravery Podcast, I’m joined by Shirley Dempsey, Founder and CEO of Balanced by Shirley She is a Financial Empowerment Leader with 15+ years experience in corporate finance.

We talk about what’s really going on behind the numbers in your online business.

Because it’s not just spreadsheets. It’s mindset. It’s belief. And it’s how safe you feel making decisions with money.

You’ll hear how Shirley has worked with high-level CEOs and seen the same money blocks show up again and again. And how simplifying your money management can completely shift the way you lead your business.

We also get into energetics. And what it actually looks like to slow down, tune in, and make clearer decisions as a coach or service provider.

If you’ve ever avoided your numbers or felt unsure what to do next, this episode will help.

Especially if you’re building your business alongside everything else you’re already holding.

This is about feeling more confident, more clear, and more in control of your profitability.

In this episode of the Business Bravery Podcast, I’m sharing a shift that has changed the way I run my online business.

Instead of planning for your best week, plan for your worst one.

For so many coaches and service providers, we build around the week where energy is high and motivation is flowing. But what about the weeks with brain fog, chronic pain flare ups, increased family caring demands, or just low capacity? If your business only works when you’re at your peak, it creates pressure. And that pressure quietly chips away at consistency and income stability.

I talk about how I used to plan as my most optimistic self. And how that left me feeling behind the minute chronic pain flared up or family caring demands increased. So now I design my systems, batching, automation, and boundaries around my lowest energy week.

Because if it works then, it works anytime.

If you’re building your online business alongside health challenges, family responsibilities, and everything else you’re already holding, this one might be what you need right now.

We’ll explore what to remove, what to automate, what to delegate, and how protecting your energy actually protects your income.

In this episode of the Business Bravery Podcast, I’m joined by Olga from Next Day Executive. She’s a system strategist and operations consultant. And we’re talking about chaos in business. The kind that has you opening your laptop and immediately feeling behind.

We talk about what chaos actually looks like in an online business. And how simple systems and structure can bring real relief. Not more pressure.

Olga shares her own Brave moments too. Hiring her first full-time team member. Feeling the weight of being responsible for someone else’s livelihood. And setting a bold goal to 10x her business with stronger operations and clear SOPs.

We also chat about her background as an actress. How years of hearing “no” built resilience she now uses in business. And why that matters when you’re growing a team or taking risks.

This one’s a reminder that structure isn’t about control. It’s about freedom. Especially if you’re building a business alongside everything else you’re already holding.

In this episode of the Business Bravery Podcast, I’m celebrating 100 episodes. And I’m getting honest about what it’s really been like to build a podcast alongside a full coaching business.

We’re talking about podcasting, visibility, and committing to a long-term project in your online business. Not from a hype angle. But from lived experience.

I share what pushed me to finally start after years of thinking about it. What’s surprised me the most. And what’s been harder than I expected. We talk confidence. Consistency. Systems. And how showing up publicly can quietly change how you trust yourself as a coach or service provider.

This episode isn’t about convincing you to start a podcast. It’s about helping you decide if a visible project makes sense for you right now. And how to test something without overcommitting or burning out.

If you’ve been feeling the pull to be more visible, but you’re also juggling real life and real capacity, this episode will be worth a listen.

In this solo episode of the Business Bravery Podcast, we’re talking about money. And the quiet ways self-worth shows up in pricing, undercharging, and overworking in an online business.

I’m sharing reflections from recent Brave Coffee Connections and some honest moments from my own journey as a coach and service provider. Including the times I lowered my rates just to feel safer signing a client. Or worked harder than I needed to because I didn’t fully trust my value yet.

We talk about how not all income is equal. Why discounting can feel easier than holding your price. And what happens when your systems, or your confidence, aren’t ready for a price increase.

This one is about dropping the mask. Letting go of proving. And noticing where money decisions are coming from.

If you’re building a business alongside real life, bills, and pressure, this episode is a gentle reminder. You’re not behind. And small, brave shifts still count.

In this episode of the Business Bravery Podcast, I’m talking about overthinking in online business. And the quiet pressure we put on ourselves to follow marketing rules that don’t actually fit real life.

We talk about consistency. Especially on Instagram. And how those unspoken expectations can start to feel heavy. I share my own experience of feeling guilty for not showing up “enough,” and how overthinking visibility can drain your energy fast.

You’ll hear why I started questioning the rules I thought I had to follow. And what consistency can look like when it’s built around your capacity, not perfection.

I also walk you through a simple, energy-aware system I use to return to visibility without spiraling. Including my honest relationship with Instagram Stories. And why planning for off days matters more than pushing through.

This one’s a reminder that your business doesn’t need to run on pressure. Especially alongside everything else you’re already holding.

If you’re a coach or service provider feeling stuck in your head about showing up online, this episode might be what you need right now.

In this episode of the Business Bravery Podcast, I’m chatting with Grace, artist, creative educator, and founder of The Serendipitous Crafter.

We talk about how she turned junk journaling into a small but growing creative business. All while working full time, supporting family, and navigating caregiving responsibilities.

Grace shares how junk journaling started as a way to manage anxiety during the pandemic. And how perfectionism almost stopped her before she even began. We get into what helped her move through that. Including creating a “trash journal,” leaning on community, and giving herself permission to start messy.

You’ll hear how she built confidence by taking small, consistent steps. How online community played a big role in her growth. And why creative self care can quietly become something more sustainable over time.

This one is especially for coaches and service providers building an online business alongside real life. If you’ve been feeling stretched, tired, or unsure you have the capacity to start, this conversation might be what you need right now.

In this episode, I sit down with Candace Dudley, Podcast Guesting Coach and Host of the Podcasting Mentor: Better Brave Podcast. Candace shares how podcast guesting can transform your visibility, authority, and confidence as a business owner, especially if you're tired of relying on the algorithm and want to be known as the go-to in your niche.

We talk about the power of using your voice and story in your business, the ripple effect of brave conversations, and how podcasting has helped both of us grow personally and professionally. Candace breaks down why niche speaking topics matter, how to make pitching so much simpler, and why genuine, human connection is the real secret behind successful podcast outreach.

She also opens up about her own business pivots, the bravery required to trust your instincts, and the magic that shows up when you follow aligned opportunities. If you’re a coach or service provider wanting to increase visibility, build confidence, and grow your online business without burnout, this episode is filled with practical strategies and inspiring honesty.

Whether you’re brand new to guesting or already podcasting regularly, Candace’s perspective will help you take your next brave step.

In this episode, I reconnect with Latoya Clark, the inspiring CEO and Founder of Butterfly Chats, Social Wellness Consultant, Health Educator, and Patient Advocate.

Latoya and I last spoke in Episode 41, and it was such a joy to catch up and hear how her journey has evolved since then. She shares the brave steps she’s taken—like moving out on her own and planning her first long-distance trip—and how she’s learned to embrace her health challenges while creating a meaningful life and business.

We explore the power of small, consistent steps in building confidence and momentum, especially when navigating chronic illness. Latoya talks about how celebrating small wins can shift our mindset and help us appreciate just how far we’ve come.

She also introduces her She Rises Incubator, a program designed to support women with chronic illnesses in building sustainable businesses that honor their health first. Through her SPARK framework, Latoya helps clients create a foundation for wellness before diving into branding and growth.

Plus, she shares an exciting new community event she’s organizing in partnership with Pureway, aimed at raising awareness about safe sharps disposal while empowering local communities.

Latoya’s story is a beautiful reminder that bravery in business isn’t always about giant leaps—it’s about the small, intentional steps that help us rise again and again.

In this episode, I share the story behind my most successful launch to date — one that surprisingly didn’t make a single dollar. Instead of focusing on revenue, my goal was to build a genuine community around connection and conversation.

I talk about why I created Brave Coffee Connections, how it came from my own need for deeper relationships in business, and what I learned from my four previous “failed” community-building attempts. You’ll hear the behind-the-scenes of how I structured the event, the lessons I learned from past launches, and why I now see this experience as a turning point in my business journey.

If you’ve ever felt discouraged after a launch that didn’t bring the results you hoped for, this episode will show you a new way to measure success — one that’s built on impact, connection, and courage.

In this episode, I chat with Grace Wang, a 4-time Amazon bestselling author and powerhouse business coach who helps female entrepreneurs and coaches confidently turn their experience into premium offers or bestselling books.

Grace shares the brave journey of stepping into visibility — from hosting her first workshop despite fears of failure to attracting premium clients through consistency and courage. We dive deep into mindset, self-belief, and why small, daily actions create lasting momentum.

You’ll hear Grace’s inspiring formula for success — desire, faith, and action — and discover how to turn fear into fuel as you build your business or write your first book.

In this episode, I chat with Tash Leam, a personal development author, digital creator, and new mum who’s learning to balance it all with a whole lot of grace and self-awareness.

Tash has written two beautiful books, From Human Doing to Human Being and When Life Gives You Lessons, and she’s the perfect example of what it means to keep growing, even when life gets busy. We talk about what it really looks like to slow down, trust your own timing, and find a rhythm that feels good in both business and motherhood.

You’ll hear Tash’s honest reflections on juggling creative goals with caring for her baby, letting go of perfection, and remembering that success doesn’t have to mean constant hustle. She shares how walks, journaling, and simple acts of self-care help her stay grounded and inspired.

This conversation is a beautiful reminder that you don’t have to “do it all” to be fulfilled, you just have to keep showing up for yourself, one brave, intentional step at a time.

In this bonus episode, I chatted with Dr. Jodie Solberg, a Certified Master Hypnotherapist, Transpersonal Wellness Coach, and International Best-Selling Author, about how online coaches and entrepreneurs can actually accomplish more by doing less.

We talked about setting boundaries, avoiding burnout, and making self-care a real part of business. Jodie shared her own story of pushing too hard, hitting burnout, and then rebuilding her business in a way that feels calm, spacious, and sustainable.

She gave so many helpful tips for checking in with your energy, knowing when to step back, and creating offers that truly align with your strengths. I loved her reminder that adding more to your business doesn’t have to feel overwhelming if it’s built slowly and with intention.

If you’ve ever felt like you’re hustling nonstop just to keep up, this episode will encourage you to take a breath, trust yourself, and create more space in your business.

In this episode of The Business Bravery Podcast, I dive into how childhood money stories can quietly shape your money mindset and block abundance in your coaching or service business.

I share my own first money memory from age seven and how it formed an unconscious belief that money had to be stressful and hard to earn. That belief carried into my business years later — showing up as undercharging, overscheduling, and even delaying invoices.

If you’ve ever felt resistance around money tasks in your business, this episode will help you see where those patterns may have started. I’ll also share the exact steps I’ve been using to rewrite my money story — from visualization to journaling prompts — and how that shift has already created more ease and income for me.

Your money story isn’t fixed. You can rewrite it and allow abundance to come with ease.

In this episode of the Business Bravery Podcast, I chat with book editor and writing coach Kerryn Trisha about the power of storytelling for coaches and online business owners. 

Kerryn shares why writing — whether journaling, memoir, or a book — can be a tool for healing, self-discovery, and building connection. And if you’ve ever wondered how to write a book for coaches or online business owners, this conversation will inspire you to start.

We also dive into how women can align their work with their natural energy cycles instead of forcing productivity every single day. Kerryn opens up about launching her Seasons membership, the bravery it took to share her insights, and her honest fears about growing an audience while staying true to her values. 

This episode is a reminder that building an online business is about connection, courage, and embracing your unique rhythm.
