There is no commitment, stay as long as you need. 👉 Sign up here to join Today, I’m giving you a full life + business update from the past two months — from moving back to California after three years of traveling the world, to landing my dream beach bungalow, taking some major financial risks, navigating burnout, growing my community, and unexpectedly taking my monthly income from $5,600 to $11,000. And no, it didn’t happen overnight. There were three years of hard work, investing in my business, making uncomfortable decisions, and learning how to trust myself behind the scenes. In this episode, I’m breaking down the biggest business lessons, money mindset shifts, and personal growth lessons I learned along the way — including why sometimes the thing you’re avoiding is exactly what will move your business forward. In this episode, I’m talking about: Why I finally decided to stop traveling and move back to California What happened when I started acting on what I actually wanted — before I felt completely “ready” The connection between self-trust, manifestation, and taking action Why building a business while traveling the world can be harder than it looks The sacrifices and investments that went into getting my business and life to where they are today Why you need to build a business you actually love How to “expand your surface area for luck” and create more opportunities for your business Why your current clients may be your biggest untapped source of revenue How raising my prices and having uncomfortable conversations with clients changed my income Why I believe in diversifying your client base instead of relying on a few massive clients What burnout taught me about business capacity, boundaries, and slowing down The importance of doing the hard things instead of endlessly overthinking them How I grew Cocktails & Clothes through community, connection, and genuine relationships Why I don't believe networking has to mean pitching everyone you meet How creating FOMO and showing the fun can help grow a community What happened when 56 women showed up for my networking speed-dating event How I went from $5,600/month to $11,000/month The difference between making more money and actually feeling financially safe Why lifestyle inflation is something I'm thinking about as my income grows And why your future self is going to be SO damn thankful for the work you're doing today Follow along on Instagram: @yourgirlmedia Join the LAST Networking Speed Date of 2026!

If your business is living inside your Notes app, your DMs are a dumpster fire, clients are starting to fall through the cracks, and you’re somehow doing everything yourself… this episode is for you. Because here’s the thing: you can’t scale a business that only works when you’re personally holding every single piece together. I’m talking with Christiana Garza , a business consultant specializing in operations and growth , and this conversation honestly called me OUT. We’re talking about what actually happens behind the scenes when you’re approaching six figures, why “I’m not ready for systems yet” might be keeping you stuck, and how better business operations can actually give you something entrepreneurs rarely talk about: peace. And yes, I am fully aware that I am the person who had eight clients and was still running my life out of the Notes app. In this episode, we talk about: Why your messy Notes app might actually be a sign that your business is ready for better systems and operations What business operations actually means (and why it doesn’t have to mean 47 new apps) The biggest operational challenges for entrepreneurs approaching six figures What changes when you become a multi-six-figure business owner Why seven-figure founders eventually need to get out of the day-to-day operator role How to know when you’re becoming the bottleneck in your own business Why you should start building your business for the version of you who is already successful Creating a better client experience from the first Instagram follow all the way through offboarding Why onboarding, offboarding, testimonials, referrals, and client feedback all need to be part of your business systems How hiring and delegation can help you stop being the person responsible for every single decision The danger of holding onto too much control in your business How to organize your ideas and brain dumps so they actually turn into things that get DONE Why your systems should work with your brain , instead of forcing yourself into someone else’s process The expensive business mistake of letting inbound leads and DMs fall through the cracks How better operations can help you create more freedom and peace in your business Redefining what success actually looks like as your business and life evolve Why sustainable business growth takes time, investment, and skill development—not overnight magic 🎁 Want to finally get your business organized? Christiana is hosting a FREE 3-day challenge on September 16–18 designed for solopreneurs and business owners who are feeling the pressure of things starting to fall through the cracks—or who are ready to take their side hustle seriously and build a stronger foundation.

If you could scale your business without adding more sales calls to your calendar? In this episode, Alyssa Moorhead shares how she built a scalable sales process that allows her team to generate leads, manage conversations, and close high ticket sales directly in the DMs—without relying on endless coffee chats or sales calls. We’re breaking down the shift from founder-led sales to a streamlined DM sales system, including when to hire support, how to create a repeatable sales process, and how to use content and podcasting to pre-sell potential clients before they ever enter your DMs. We also talk about why your sales process actually starts before someone becomes a client, how to use pricing and FAQs to handle objections, and why being known for one specific thing can make selling dramatically easier. In this episode, we cover: Why you don't have to handle every sales conversation yourself When it makes sense to hire support for DM lead generation How to replace unnecessary sales calls with DM sales Alyssa's 5-step DM sales process How to use consent and permission without making prospects feel pressured Why your client experience starts during the sales process How productizing your offer makes it easier to scale your business Using content, case studies, FAQs, and pricing to pre-sell leads How to create ethical urgency without chasing prospects Why podcasting can become part of your sales ecosystem How to use a podcast to shorten your sales cycle and generate high ticket sales Why niching down and becoming known for ONE thing makes selling easier If you're drowning in DMs, spending too much time on sales calls, or wondering how to create a sales process that can actually grow with your business, this episode is for you. The goal isn't more calls. It's a better sales system.

If the reason you’re struggling to scale your business isn’t that you need more time, but that you’re operating without enough capacity? In this episode, I’m sitting down with my podcast client, Ericka Nicole from the Clocked Out podcast for a real conversation about burnout, time management, sustainable business growth, and what it actually takes to scale your business without running yourself into the ground. We talk about what it looks like to build a business while balancing a 9-to-5, why traditional time management advice doesn’t always work, and how understanding your energy—not just your time—can completely change the way you run your business. We also get into some of my favorite business lessons around simplifying your to-do list, identifying the 3–5 activities that actually drive revenue, niching down, and turning your podcast into a real business asset. In this episode, we talk about: Why burnout isn't always a time-management problem The difference between having time and actually having capacity How to do an energy audit and work with your natural energy Why being busy doesn't necessarily mean you're being productive How to identify the 3–5 things that actually make you money Why you don't need to be on every social media platform How niching down can help you attract more of your ideal clients How to use your podcast as part of your sales funnel Creating systems and rhythms that allow you to grow without constant hustle Why sustainable consistency beats operating at 100% The biggest business lessons we’ve learned from burnout How to scale your business while still having a life My biggest takeaway from this conversation? You don't need to do more. You need to get really fucking clear on what actually moves your business forward—and build a business that you can actually sustain. Want to connect with Ericka?

Having a bad day or a bad season in business? This episode is your permission slip to feel it, plus real talk on pity days, community support, and why the rug-pull moments don't last forever. Business is a rollercoaster, and nobody talks enough about the days the rug gets pulled out from under you. In this episode, we slow down with a box-breathing exercise before getting into it — because before you can fix a bad day, you have to actually feel it. We talk about the power of the "pity day" (yes, junk TV and junk food included), why bulldozing past a bad feeling doesn't actually work, and what it really looks like to lean on a business community when a client drops, a bill hits, or a rough season stretches into months instead of days. Real stories included: losing two clients in two days during year one of business, moving back home to rebuild, and the people who opened their homes when things got hard. Plus: why comparison (hi, Threads and LinkedIn) makes a bad season so much worse, how EFT tapping can help you feel safe again, and the mantra that reframes everything — it's not "if," it's "when." The episode closes with two voice notes from Cocktails & Close community members — Rachel Perry and business coach Michelle — on why you should never quit on a bad day. Key Takeaways / Timestamps [00:00] Why bad days are part of the business rollercoaster — and a box breathing reset to start grounded [02:00] Give yourself a "pity day" — feeling the emotion instead of bulldozing past it [04:00] Why a business-specific support system matters (not just your partner or friends) [07:00] Reframe: you didn't sell your soul, you took the risk — some grace for the hard days [08:00] The difference between a bad day and a rough patch that lasts months [11:00] Getting off social media, EFT tapping, and finding safety in the present moment [11:30] When it's time to pivot vs. when it's just a hard season (client episode linked below) [12:30] A client's story: waking up $1,000 negative and getting out of it through community [15:00] The mantra: "It's not if, it's when" — staying out of victim mode [16:00] Nature as a reminder: seasons (and trees) grow slowly, and so does your business [17:30] Closing voice notes from Cocktails & Close members Rachel Perry and Michelle Mentioned in This Episode Cocktails & Close — Our community for service providers and coaches scaling their business.

Be honest... entrepreneurship isn't all sold-out launches, six-figure screenshots, and "I made $50K while I was on vacation" posts. Sometimes it's losing your biggest client. Sometimes it's opening your bank account and seeing negative $1,000 . Sometimes your card gets declined trying to buy one grapefruit (yes... that actually happened). And somehow... you still have to wake up the next day and keep building. In today's episode, I'm sitting down with one of my favorite humans (and Cocktails & Close member), Alex DiMattia , to talk about the messy middle that almost nobody shares online. Alex opens up about going through emergency surgery, being bedridden for weeks, wondering if she should dissolve her LLC, and watching her business fall apart... before completely rebuilding it. I also get real about what's happening in my own business right now—from losing one of my biggest podcast clients to putting my California move on hold and navigating another season of uncertainty. This isn't an episode about "manifesting your dream life." It's about surviving the months where you're eating tuna, questioning every decision you've ever made, wondering if you're actually cut out for entrepreneurship... ...and choosing to keep going anyway. If you're in a hard season right now, this one's for you. In this episode, we talk about: Why the "messy middle" is a normal part of building a business Losing clients and dealing with inconsistent income What it feels like when your business bank account hits negative Alex's emergency surgery and how it impacted her business The emotional side of entrepreneurship nobody talks about Why asking for help can completely change your business Building a creative business without burning yourself out How community can literally save your business The importance of systems instead of running your business entirely on vibes Knowing when to pivot versus when to stay consistent Why income is a lagging indicator (this one blew my mind) Building emergency savings as an entrepreneur Turning setbacks into new opportunities How one Threads post turned into a successful online course Why relationships are still your biggest business asset If you're looking for an incredible brand designer, illustrator, or website designer who truly gets entrepreneurs, Alex is your girl.

Have you ever looked around your business and thought… "I know I'm good at what I do... so why am I still charging these prices?" This conversation started as a chat about personal branding … but quickly turned into one of the most honest conversations I've ever had about money mindset, imposter syndrome, premium pricing, and becoming the CEO your business actually needs. Because here's the truth: You can have an incredible offer. You can be amazing at what you do. But if your positioning, branding, and confidence haven't caught up with the level you're trying to reach… you'll keep attracting the same clients, charging the same prices, and wondering why you're stuck. In this episode, I'm joined by branding strategist Jasmine from Red Bow House , and we dive into what it really takes to build a premium brand that attracts high-paying clients, stand out in a crowded market, and stop playing small in your business. We also get real about the identity shifts that happen when your business starts growing faster than your confidence—and why becoming the woman who can hold bigger success might be the most important business strategy of all. In this episode, we cover: Why your personal brand should do more than just "look pretty" The biggest branding mistakes keeping entrepreneurs stuck How to attract premium, high-ticket clients through strategic branding The difference between branding and positioning Why your pricing often reflects your self-worth more than your skill level Building trust through every customer touchpoint Creating a premium brand experience that actually converts The mindset shifts required to scale your business Overcoming imposter syndrome as you grow Why building a "brand world" is the next step for established business owners How CEO identity impacts business growth Why hiring before you feel ready can change everything The surprising connection between confidence, branding, and revenue If you've been feeling like your business has outgrown the version of you that's currently running it… this episode is your permission slip to think bigger, charge more, and finally step into the authority you've already earned.

🍸 Join the waitlist for Cocktails & Close, the BEST networking membership for 6-figure founders ready to scale. 🍸👉 Sign up HERE to secure your spot You’re fully booked, exhausted, constantly working… and still wondering why your business isn’t making more money — this episode is required listening. Because here’s the truth: more clients isn’t always the answer. In this episode, I’m sitting down with business growth and profit strategist Michelle DiNoia for a brutally honest conversation about the thing nobody in online business is talking about: capacity . You know that feeling where your calendar is packed, your brain is fried, and based on how hard you’re working, you should be making WAY more money than you are? Yeah… we’re talking about THAT. Michelle breaks down why so many female founders are stuck in a cycle of burnout, overdelivering, and chasing revenue goals that still somehow leave them overwhelmed. We’re talking pricing, profit, boundaries, scaling, and why “just raise your prices” is not the business advice everyone thinks it is. If you’ve been feeling maxed out, questioning your offers, or wondering why business feels harder than it should — this conversation might genuinely change the way you think about growth. In this episode, we cover: The difference between being busy vs. actually at capacity Why getting more clients might be making things worse The real reason you’re hitting a revenue plateau How to stop overdelivering and undercharging Why most founders price their offers based on feelings instead of profit What scaling your business actually means (hint: it’s not just making more money) How to structure your offers around the life you actually want The hidden reason founders feel burnt out even when business is “working” Why chasing new strategies can sabotage your growth How to build a business that gives you more time, profit, and spaciousness A truth bomb from this episode: “You can’t outsell your capacity.” If hearing “just raise your prices” one more time is going to make you combust, this episode is your breath of fresh air.

Because if you’re a scaling female founder who is constantly chasing new leads, selling in the DMs, doing the most on social media… but then never following up? Babe. We need to talk. In this episode, I brought back the queen of email strategy herself, Laura Haley , to talk about the thing I’ve personally avoided for FOUR YEARS in business (yes, embarrassing): email marketing. And somehow… she made newsletters sexy???

Because finding more clients is great… but keeping the RIGHT clients? That’s where the magic (and the sustainable revenue) happens. We’re diving into how to stop operating from scarcity, how to identify red flags before someone signs the contract, and why your client experience is directly tied to your referrals, reputation, and high ticket sales.

This episode honestly feels like a masterclass in building a business people never want to leave. In this episode, we cover: How to find aligned clients in your service based business The mindset shifts behind high ticket sales and client retention Why female founders need stronger boundaries with clients The “strategic ripple effect” of aligned vs. misaligned clients How poor-fit clients affect your referrals and reputation Red flags, orange flags, and green flags to watch for How to create a luxury client experience without overcomplicating it The importance of onboarding, offboarding, and communication Why retaining clients is more profitable than constantly finding more clients Creating communities clients actually want to engage in Steph’s approach to referrals, retention, and relationship-building How systems and workflows improve the customer experience Why your business should support your LIFE — not consume it If you’re a female founder trying to grow your business sustainably, improve your client retention, increase referrals, and create a business that actually feels good to run… you’re going to LOVE this conversation.

We’re talking energy, pricing, branding, community, and the mindset shifts that will actually move your business forward. 💥 What You’ll Learn in This Episode Why every female founder needs “business besties” (and how masterminds change everything) The difference between being paid to do vs. being paid to think (thank you Erica 👀) Why begging for sales is killing your business—and how to create FOMO marketing instead The mindset shift that helped me stop pitching and start attracting clients How FOMO should be your #1 marketing strategy Why free offers might be attracting the wrong people into your world A powerful sales principle from Laura: get people in the habit of paying you The viral Threads strategy that WORKS Why investing in your brand is essential for scaling as a female entrepreneur What a “low month” can actually mean for long-term growth (and why clarity > cash sometimes) How I built a community that literally helped a member generate $7K in 48 hours 🤯 Why messy action will always beat perfection 🍸 Mentioned in This Episode Boss Babe Reset Podcast by Ericka Internal Automations by Devreet Andrea from Merveille Studios , my amazing brand designer Join the LAST Networking Speed Date of 2026!

🍸Join the waitlist for Cocktails & Close, the BEST networking membership for 6-figure founders ready to scale. 🍸👉 Sign up HERE to secure your spot If your income isn’t stuck because of strategy… but because of a belief you haven’t questioned yet? This episode is a deep dive into money mindset and the hidden money blocks keeping you capped—especially as a female entrepreneur doing “all the right things” but not seeing the results. I sat down with Caryn from Live Iconic , and within minutes she was calling out subconscious beliefs that were quietly running the show. 💸 What We Talk About The “money has to be hard” belief (and why it’s keeping you stuck) How childhood programming shapes your relationship with money Why making money doing what you love can feel uncomfortable The fear of out-earning your parents (and how it shows up) Your “financial thermostat” and why you keep self-sabotaging 🔥 Key Takeaways Money is less about strategy—and more about belief Your thoughts are often stories, not facts You’ll always find evidence to support what you believe Awareness of your block is what creates the breakthrough 👉 Ask yourself: “What do I fear would happen if I made more money?” That answer = your block. 💡 Acting Like a Millionaire (for real) It’s not about spending money you don’t have. It’s about: How you carry yourself The rooms you get into The standards you hold Start small. Embody it now. 🚀 Final Truth You don’t have a money problem. You have a belief problem. Shift the belief → change everything. 📣 Connect with Caryn Follow her on Instagram ✨ Live Iconic Live Event — October 2026 (Fort Lauderdale) If this episode hit, share it with another female entrepreneur ready to break through her money blocks 💌 Join the LAST Networking Speed Date of 2026!

I’m currently on vacation (still soaking up life in France 🍷), so while I’m away, I’m sharing an episode from my travel + history podcast, Culture Cult . And this one is WILD. We’re heading to the Azores—remote Portuguese islands in the middle of the Atlantic—for a true story that sounds completely made up… but isn’t. A drug smuggler. A crashed yacht. And millions of dollars of cocaine washing onto a quiet island . What happens next? Absolute chaos.
