In this episode, we are joined by fantasy author and founder of BookFunnel, Damon Courtney! It was great to have Damon join us on the podcast again to talk about all things indie publishing, BookFunnel, and… Taylor Swift! Who, by the way, is someone indie authors can learn a lot from when it comes to self-publishing business practices. We spoke to Damon about how he founded BookFunnel, his career as a self-published author, what BookFunnel can offer indie authors, how the BookFunnel team develops new features to better serve the needs of indie authors, how BookFunnel has worked with Kobo, why publishing wide is so important for self-published authors, and much more! Damon previously joined us for a KWL Live Q&A session as well as an author takeover. Be sure to check out these recordings if you want to hear even more advice from Damon!

In today's episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on how that mindset, while powerful, can also quietly sabotage your next level of growth.

If you've been in a season of overcommitting, this episode might just be the reset you need.

From building a wildly successful network marketing business to navigating motherhood, marriage, identity shifts, and the space in between — Blair holds nothing back. We talked about redefining success, releasing the hustle, rekindling intimacy, and what it looks like to be in a season of unknowns. If you've ever questioned what's next after “having it all,” this episode is going to hit home.

In today's episode, I sat down with my friend Renee – award-winning PR strategist and business mentor – for a heartfelt, raw, and inspiring conversation about entrepreneurship, motherhood, and redefining success. We talk about what it really looks like to follow your gut, say no to what's not aligned, and create a life that's built around your values—not other people's expectations. Renee also shares how she's creating a movement to empower women while redefining success on her own terms. Tune in for an honest, empowering conversation full of actionable insights!

Nikki also shares the origin story behind her Embodyed Method and how she brought it to life while navigating a massive business pivot and new motherhood.
