So many of my clients feel trapped because of their financial situation. And it sucks because when you're living from paycheck to paycheck, it's hard to manifest a new life because you're living in survival mode. There is, however, a way to break free from this feeling and finally manifest abundance. And we're going to show you how to do it. Evie is a Latina Salary Negotiation Coach, Speaker, and Podcaster who specializes in helping women negotiate five-figure salary increases. Through her coaching and the Self Worth Accelerator Mastermind, she has empowered women to step into their highest selves, overcome fear, and unlock their full potential in salary negotiations. As of today, Evie has helped her clients secure over $750k in base salary increases. She's been featured on Yo Quiero Dinero, Ch*ngona Revolution, Save 6 Figures with Gina Knox, Say Hola Wealth, Life as a Gringo, Chisme that Matters, and Vida Wish I Knew Then podcasts. In this week's episode, Evie and I talk about how she learned how to feel rich in courage. Before she joined Courage Driven Latina, she had already taken the steps to living a more courageous life by advocating for herself and negotiating her salary. The company that was paying her white male colleague twice as much as her only offered her an additional $1,000 annually. Instead of internalizing or spiraling, Evie applied to other companies in her industry and almost doubled her salary through her negotiating skills. Money was tight, but she believed in herself and took smart, courageous actions anyway.

Ever caught yourself saying, “I'll get to ads… later, when I'm really ready”? Claire hears that line all the time. And honestly? That "ready" moment rarely shows up. But while you're waiting for the stars to align, you're missing out on what Claire calls the "stock market effect" of running ads: long-term, compounding growth that happens when your ads quietly work in the background, building your list and your revenue without requiring constant hustle. In this solo episode, Claire shares a story about a brilliant business coach friend who's been “almost ready” for years, plus how GPM clients like DL Sharon, Gina Knox, and Steph Crowder finally scaled faster once they stopped waiting and started running ads. This Week on the Get Paid Podcast: The real conversation Claire had (again) with a friend who's been “just about to run ads” for years Why ads are less like a launch strategy and more like investing in the stock market How one client added $200K in a matter of weeks from cold traffic, plus high-ticket sales with no sales calls What happened when Claire's own campaign flopped, and how feedback from cold leads helped her fix it How ads can keep your audience and revenue growing, even while you're offline or pivoting your business Mentioned in this podcast: https://clairepells.com/waitlist https://clairepells.com/getpaid Thanks for tuning into the Get Paid Podcast.
