Why is it so crucial for you to invest in your own visibility? Staying hidden can block your growth and keep you from reaching the level of success you want in your business. But when you lean into your own authentic visibility, you open the door to more clients, revenue, and opportunities. If you want to scale your business, you need to be seen—and not just in a way that gets likes but in a way that also converts. Showing up authentically doesn't just empower others, it empowers your audience too. Today I'm sharing tips for increasing your visibility in a way that feels strategic, sustainable, and aligned with you. In this episode, you will learn about: Why you're hiding in your business (and what you can do about it). How hiding feels safer, but actually costs you more. What it looks like to trust the process of being seen (and how I do it). The one thing you must know before you practice visibility. Who I'm on a mission to serve and how that supports my authentic visibility. How you should measure the success of putting yourself out there. Why focusing on “perfect content” doesn't work when building visibility in a real way. How to go from feeling annoying to acknowledging your gift to serve.     Get 10% off your Sage Haus House Manager today!

What if I told you that being too nice isn't helping you? Being a “good woman” or a “nice girl” can actually be to your detriment. At the same time, as women, we are conditioned by society to please others and keep the peace. The problem is that “nice girls” live for other people while their dreams go to the grave. If you relate to this, you're not alone—and you're not stuck. Learning to lean into discomfort and taking a leap into being direct could change everything. Getting over decades of programming isn't easy, but your life and business will be better when you do. In this episode, you will learn about: The big mistake I made when playing nice with a company I shouldn't have. The difference between being polite and being nice. Examples of when we hold back from being honest (but we shouldn't). The ways our social programming shows up later in life and sabotages us. Why we feel scared to demand for what we really want as women. Why direct communication can be difficult but is also so important. How people exploit nice women, including real life examples that happened to me. What really great clients actually want you to deliver.     Get 10% off your Sage Haus House Manager today!

Welcome back! We kick off Season 9 of the Glass and Out Podcast with episode 306, featuring Seattle Kraken Assistant Coach Jessica Campbell. Campbell is of course getting set for her second season behind an NHL bench, after having the distinction of being the first female to be hired as a full-time NHL coach. The native of Moosomin, Saskatchewan parlayed her skating business and the experience of training NHL players in the off-season in Kelowna into the opportunity to coach professionally in Europe. It was then that Dan Bylsma, then recently hired as the Head Coach of the Kraken's AHL affiliate in Coachella Valley, reached out to interview her for the opportunity to join his staff. Two seasons and consecutive trips to the Calder Cup finals later, Bylsma was hired as Seattle's Head Coach and Campbell got the call to join him.  You can check out her IIHF Coaching Symposium presentation on Feeding the Attack by Breaking Down the PK now on The Coaches Site. Listen as she shares her keys to creating a cohesive power play, how to help players out of scoring slumps, and how breaking barriers has influenced her coaching philosophy.    

This is how you can get the recognition you really deserve. Do you ever feel like you're crushing it in business and serving your clients well, yet you're still missing out on some major opportunities? You're amazing at what you do, but you're also under-booked. That was me. I had all the credentials, but I watched other women get the spotlight. The RARE expert method is a framework that transforms invisible experts into movement leaders; it amplifies what makes you irresistible in your field. The four pillars of this framework, shared in this episode, will help you take the first steps from interchangeable to undeniable. In this episode, you will learn about: What it means when you're not seeing the success other women are. Why you don't need to wait to be chosen (and what to do instead). What the invisible expert trap is and how it's tricking you. Signs you are playing small and avoiding being seen (even when you want it). The importance of knowing what makes you unique. Tips for becoming the source of expert information—not just the echo. How to use resonance-driven messaging to attract the success you want. How you'll charge your clients when you stop playing small.     Get 10% off your Sage Haus House Manager today!

Speaker: Josh DoolSeries: The Book of Exodus

Your success can't be measured by how much money you make. Many entrepreneurs set that $1 million milestone for their business thinking that on the other side of that number, they'll find fulfillment and happiness. The reality is that making a million dollars doesn't paint the whole picture of success. The real markers of success aren't represented in numbers on paper. Breaking old family patterns and internal conditioning, creating a happy life with your family, and living a life you don't want to run away from are the true reflections of a life created well. In this episode, you will learn about: What I did to look like a “powerhouse mom” and why it was a lie. How the illusion of success shows up in life and business. The way people project success on social media versus the reality of it. The pressure of building a family while building a business too. The hidden tax on achievement that took me too long to figure out. Three stages of entrepreneurial burnout and what it looked like for me. The big mistake I made out of sheer exhaustion and how it traumatized me. What kind of changes I had to make to crawl my way out of burnout. What creating a more productive environment looks like, especially for women.     Today's episode is brought to you by LinkedVA.

This is how I really feel about getting older. I just survived another trip around the sun, and while I'm not one to celebrate birthdays, it has allowed me to reflect on where I'm at in my life now. I see a lot of women my age still carrying the weight of societal expectations, and it's time to stop being a “good woman” and stop playing by the rules. When you stop being the “good woman” and you stop apologizing for your desires, your whole world can change. People start treating you differently, and you suddenly become more sought after. In this episode, you will learn about: The expectations women grow up under and how it influences us. Why now is the time for you to start breaking the rules (and invite strategic rebellion). Society's narrative about your expiration date (and why it's irrelevant). What the “good woman” trap is and where the pressure actually comes from. An example of saying no confidently without the need to overexplain or justify it. How embracing rich woman energy changes the way I live my life. Why it's important to stay humble, without downplaying your achievements. Why we need more women talking about money.     Today's episode is brought to you by LinkedVA.

My husband Dan Martell is back, and we're sharing everything from our recent trip to Monaco. Dan and I think we're pretty good at squeezing every bit of fun we can during our vacations together, but we're also great at taking lessons from our travel experiences together too. In this episode, we're reflecting on the experiences from our latest vacation. Whether it was switching seats at a restaurant or making custom requests from our hotel, we found a way to flow on our vacations with ease. You can't force fun on a trip, but you can embrace your preferences and do it the way you want to. In this episode, you will learn about: An awkward-turned-enjoyable dinner experience we had together. A lesson in what makes people valuable (and what doesn't matter). How to know if you belong in the room you're in. The sunk-cost fallacy you don't want to fall into on vacation. How honoring your preferences can help you enjoy your trips more. Why we stick to a healthy lifestyle on our vacations and what that means. Our ultimate trip hack that made travelling way easier. What we'll do differently on our next trip.     Today's episode is brought to you by LinkedVA. Transform your business growth with expert virtual team members who handle your essential tasks.

My recent trip to Monaco gave me more insight than I could have imagined. It has taken a lot of work to get where my husband and I are in our family, our businesses, and our personal lives. We've been building wealth, and that's what we thought we needed to have the most incredible travel experiences. Yet, the biggest things I've learned have nothing to do with money. From embracing being disconnected to not caring what anyone else thinks, I got a lot out of my latest trip. I hope the lessons I share in this episode give you something to think about before you're set to travel next. In this episode, you will learn about: What true wealth actually is and why it's important to prioritize. How a recent restaurant experience with Dan taught me about self-confidence. Why we judge flashy people (and why it really doesn't matter). What it means to romanticize everything in your life (and what it looks like). How slowing things down beats living with a sense of urgency. Why being disconnected is an underrated business hack. How disrupting my regular routine helps me reset on my trip.   Today's episode is brought to you by LinkedVA.

Let's honor a friend and previous guest, Rachel Luna. Rachel encouraged women to stand in their truth, even when there's pressure from other people to stand down. Although she passed away recently, she was and continues to be a lighthouse for so many. In this replay, Rachel discusses the toughest moments she faced as an entrepreneur, why it's okay to offend others (and even judge them), her experiences with racism and cancel culture, and how to anchor your life and business in your values.

While many Canadians are continuing to boycott products made in the United States, when it comes to mikvehs, nearly a dozen Canadian Jewish communities have no qualms about accepting their money. Mikvah USA is a Brooklyn-based charity that gives out financial aid, advice and technical support for renovating outdated mikvehs and building brand-new ones, and in the last few years, they've supported 10 clients in Ontario and Quebec. One of them is Ottawa's Naomi Bulka Community Mikvah, which held its grand reopening on July 20, having completed a makeover of the 25-year-old facility, attached to Ottawa's Soloway ewish Community Centre. While only 30 women have been using the mikveh each month, officials believe they will attract larger crowds who come for the religious experience in a bright, refreshed, spa-like atmosphere. The team in Ottawa received a grant to kickstart independent fundraising from Mikvah USA, which has been subsidizing mikveh projects across North America since 2004, mostly in smaller Jewish communities. The list includes London, Ont.; Quebec City; and a forthcoming mikveh in Saint-Agathe-des-Monts, Que., which is still under construction. On today's episode of The CJN's North Star podcast, host Ellin Bessner is joined by some Canadian mikveh organizers who collaborated with the American charity to get their projects to the finish line: Dina Teitlebaum and her husband, Rabbi Levy Teitlebaum, in Ottawa, and Chana Carlebach and her husband, Rabbi Emanuel Carlebach, who are building the multimillion-dollar mikveh in Saint-Agathe-des-Monts.

Think everyone working in Hollywood is rich, famous, and living the dream? Think again. In this episode, host Gabe Howard pulls back the velvet curtain with therapist and Hollywood insider Shanelle Connell to expose the reality behind the entertainment industry's glossy facade. Forget the multimillion-dollar paychecks and private jets — most working actors, crew members, and directors grapple with constant rejection, financial insecurity, 12- to 15-hour workdays, and the unrelenting pressure to smile through it all. Even finding a therapist can be a minefield when your life is dismissed as glamorous nonsense. Takeaways: The emotional whiplash of booking a gig… and the crash that follows How societal judgment can keep performers from getting help The hidden cost of “doing what you love” when your work devours your identity Why so many stay in the industry — even if it weighs on them Whether you watch tons of movies or just wonder how fame warps mental health, this conversation will challenge everything you thought you knew about Hollywood — and the humans who keep it running. Our guest, Shanelle Connell, completed her BA in Psychology at the University of British Columbia – Okanagan. While there, she briefly served as a UBC Mental Health Network board member and performed research under Dr. Jocelyn Wentland and Dr. Suzanne Holtzman. Additionally, she participated in the Indigenous Research Mentorship Program, which awards First Nations, Inuit, and Métis undergraduate students (like herself) the possibility to work alongside faculty mentors to gain research experience of their ideal interest. Shanelle also ensured to enroll in many special interest classes at her university, like the Psychology of Creativity, Humour, and Interpersonal Relationship Psychology – contributing to her expansive understanding of how our unique psychology colours every aspect of our lives.  As a former Miss Universe Canada delegate and Miss World Okanagan, Shanelle has used her platform to actively advocate on behalf of individuals who have experienced and survived domestic, mental, and sexual violence/abuse – and continues to work with individuals healing from the effects of narcissistic trauma.  In 2019, Shanelle re-entered the film industry and began her professional work as an actor. She leveraged her 20+ years engagement in performance arts and commercial market to guide her journey as she made her way to on-screen entertainment. However, Shanelle did not start there and has worked in various positions like stand-in and graphics department, producing, and even has had a behind-the-scenes look at the chaos that follows agency life and the casting process. Hence, she truly understands our everyday ups and downs in this creative field. Today, Shanelle is an active member of UBCP-ACTRA and the CMPA, living between Vancouver and Kelowna, British Columbia. She frequently collaborates with our unions, non-profit organizations, and industry leaders to ensure she stays proficient in what film needs for mental health support. Even more, she values the feedback of her peers (those on and off set) on what can make her practice and our industry better. Therefore, Shanelle proudly amalgamates this insider information with her credentials to finally offer our colleagues what they deserve. Our host, Gabe Howard, is an award-winning writer and speaker who lives with bipolar disorder. He is the author of the popular book, "Mental Illness is an Asshole and other Observations," available from Amazon; signed copies are also available directly from the author. Gabe is also the host of the "Inside Bipolar" podcast with Dr. Nicole Washington. Gabe makes his home in the suburbs of Columbus, Ohio. He lives with his supportive wife, Kendall, and a Miniature Schnauzer dog that he never wanted, but now can't imagine life without.

Sometimes it's the money you don't spend that ends up costing you the most. Broke thinking isn't about your account balance, it's about your relationship with possibilities and growth. Being smart with your money is one thing, but acting with a fear-based mindset is another (and will actually keep you from making more). If you want to get unstuck from the money mindset you have now, you can take the steps I'm sharing in this episode. Once your perspective starts to shift, you'll see the truth about spending. In this episode, you will learn about: The difference between how rich people think versus how broke people think. Where broke thinking shows up even when you have money. The actionable steps to rewiring your broke mindset. Signs you need to do a money language audit (and what that looks like). How the cost of not doing something can be more expensive than doing it. The ultimate money reality check that will help you make better decisions. What you can do today to take the first step into a wealthy mindset.   Check out The Pink Skirt Project, happening June 11-12, 2026 in Kelowna, BC, Canada.   Got a minute?

You can do both, but you need to approach them strategically. If you're sitting on the fence of deciding whether to build a business or not because you're worried about how it will affect your role as a mom, this episode is for you. You don't have to choose between raising your children and building an empire, but if you want to do both, you do have to carefully consider about how to go about it. As a mother, you learn how to be ruthlessly efficient and prioritize incredibly well. When you start implementing this as a practice across your life and learn to say no to what doesn't matter, you'll realize you can do both. In this episode, you will learn about: Why you're not selfish for starting a business (and why others project this onto you). The importance of protecting your energy as a busy business-building mom. Why communicating with your people before resentment pops up really matters. How systems create freedom (and save your sanity). How I've changed since having kids and how this evolution supports my work too. Why community isn't just nice to have, it's necessary. Who you need to get on your side if you want to run a business as a busy mom.   Check out The Pink Skirt Project, happening June 11-12, 2026 in Kelowna, BC, Canada.   Got a minute?

How can you teach your kids that they need to put in the work to get what they want? Some of the things we talk about with our kids may not be conventional, and at times we have faced judgement for the decisions we've made. When it comes to parenting, no matter what you choose, it can feel like there's no way to get it “right.” What I want for my kids is to be healthy, happy, and kind human beings. I want them to look for opportunities to be of service to others and create ripple effects of positivity everywhere they go. In this episode, you will learn about: Why it's okay to not agree with my decisions in parenting (and still respect them). The difference between being broke and being cheap, and how this relates to mindset. Why saying “I can't afford it” isn't productive (and what we're teaching our kids instead). Why we encourage problem solving and identifying opportunities early on. How we choose to educate our children, and the problems with traditional school. Why it's important to allow your kids to fail, and even celebrate those failures. Why teaching delayed gratification to kids is more important now than ever before. How acknowledging our privilege teaches our kids responsibility and impact.   Check out The Pink Skirt Project, happening June 11-12, 2026 in Kelowna, BC, Canada.   Got a minute?

Here's what I struggle with in my life. People always want to know how I do it: run my business while having a strong marriage, a great relationship with my kids, and a healthy lifestyle. The truth is I'm not special, but I have learned to harness the power of consistency where it matters most. My life isn't perfect either, and in this episode, I open up about some of my biggest struggles and what I do lately to combat them. Remember that when you're struggling, it doesn't mean that you're failing—it's actually a part of the experience of reaching success. In this episode, you will learn about: The one question I get asked all the time (and what people really mean by it). How to start living the path of full alignment, whatever that looks like for you. Why I show up even when I don't feel like it. Some of my greatest seasons of struggle and what I do differently now. Why it's never too late to start whatever dream is on your heart. How I started feeling worthy just a few months ago, despite my perceived success. Why you need to build a support system if you want to move forward in life. What people actually want to see from you on social media.   Check out The Pink Skirt Project, happening June 11-12, 2026 in Kelowna, BC, Canada.   Got a minute?

Discipline actually provides more freedom, not restriction. Rachel has nearly 20 years of experience building multiple performance consulting and digital businesses. Her direct and disruptive approach to creating peak performance has led her to become the mentor of choice for senior executives and entrepreneurs who want to get fit. Complacency can take over your life. If you become complacent in one area, you can become complacent in all of them. In this conversation, Rachel shares the two critical mindset shifts that not only help you navigate tough moments, but also help you see yourself in a whole new light. In this episode, you will learn about: Myths about diet and exercise that need to be busted, especially for women. The critical shifts women need to make in order to be fit. The “aha moment” that made Rachel realize she'd become complacent. How guilt becomes a trigger, and the trick to rewiring your brain around it. The unhealthy outlets we use to escape difficulty and what to do about it. The power in proving you are who you say you are. Why your health is not your fault—but it is your responsibility. What it means to be a wild woman: To be all that I am unapologetically—a little wild, a little rebellious, and very honest.     Check out The Pink Skirt Project, happening June 11-12, 2026 in Kelowna, BC, Canada.   Got a minute?

This is how you get people to buy into you. If you've ever second guessed yourself or played small when you could have been making a big move, I see you. But that strategy of playing small is killing your momentum. Success doesn't come from waiting until you have the perfect plan, it comes from fully believing in your vision. Conviction brings clarity, and that clarity magnetizes the right people and the right opportunities to you. Believe in what you're offering, make bold moves, and trust that the plan will reveal itself along the way. In this episode, you will learn about: A question to ask yourself that will reveal if you're ready to go for it. What conviction creates and why it's so important for business owners. The importance of believing in yourself first whether other people do or not. How to use your conviction as an anchor in your toughest moments. What keeps some women from taking action (and why you shouldn't be deterred). What it looks like to build self-trust and why it matters. The power in holding onto your vision when stepping into something new.   Check out The Pink Skirt Project, happening June 11-12, 2026 in Kelowna, BC, Canada.   Got a minute?

What if the resistance you feel to receiving support isn't about money—but about the stories you've been carrying that aren't even yours? In this raw, unfiltered solo episode recorded while walking the streets of Kelowna, BC on Father's Day, Heather gets radically honest about her journey with receiving support, hiring help, and dismantling what it means to be a "strong, independent woman." Listen in as she shares:

I'm showing you exactly how to fix that today.    HIGHLIGHTS Learn how to create immediate “yes” moments that drive conversions. How to clearly ask for what you want. Small tweaks add up to big wins for customer experience and sales. How to remove friction from your sales or checkout process.   RESOURCES Join the most supportive mastermind on the internet - the Mentor Collective Mastermind!
