Today I'm breaking down the top mistakes I see women make when they're trying to build a personal brand… and why it's keeping them broke, invisible, and burnt out.Real talk, too many of us are out here trying to build fame, not Business foundations.If you're:Posting on social media but still not making moneyTrying to go viral instead of going deepCopying what everyone else is doing because you haven't found your secret saucePlaying small, overthinking, and shrinking around your goals…Then THIS is the truth you need in your ears today.Because the real problem isn't your content, it's your clarity...It's your confidence.It's the missing strategy that turns followers into clients and visibility into income.I'll also share how we do it differently inside The Queen's Table: the framework I use in my program to help women build magnetic brands, powerful business backends, and unshakeable identities.

Your portfolio is beautiful. Your case studies are organized. Your screenshots are perfectly curated. So why aren't potential clients reaching out? If you're tired of having amazing work that somehow isn't translating into consistent bookings—or if you're exhausted from pitching clients who should already see your value—this episode will shift how you think about your portfolio entirely. I'm sharing the exact 3-strategy framework that's helped me avoid cold pitching for over 6 years. Instead of chasing clients and convincing them I'm qualified, they come to me already sold on what I can do. This isn't about creating more content or perfecting your case studies—it's about strategically positioning the work you've already done so it does the selling for you. You'll discover:Why treating your portfolio like a resume is keeping you in pitch mode (and what to do instead)The three specific places to position your results so clients discover your value before they ever reach outHow to structure case studies that help potential clients envision their own transformationThe psychology behind why this approach completely changes the sales conversation The transformation: By the end of this episode, you'll understand exactly when, where, and how to position your portfolio so it attracts ideal clients who are already convinced they want to work with you. If this approach resonates and you're ready to build case studies that actually convert, my Portfolio Building Class walks you through the exact templates and scripts I use. You'll get the same Canva template I used for case studies, plus strategic guidance for positioning yourself from day one—even if you're just starting out.

What if everything you've been told about the military — “fighting for freedom,” “protecting democracy,” “serving your country” — was a lie?In this explosive episode of "The Watchdog," British-Iraqi artist and host Lowkey sits down with former Army Ranger and intel insider Greg Stoker, who saw the beast from the inside and walked away from it.Stoker breaks the silence on:How the U.S. military breaks young men to serve the empireWhy most soldiers join out of economic desperation, not patriotismThe real reason so many vets kill themselves when they get outHow the Pentagon built the internet to spy on Americans and suppress dissentWhy Israel would collapse in weeks without U.S. money and weaponsBritain's role as America's lapdog in every foreign war“It's a tripartite genocide,” Stoker says. “The U.S. is the empire. Israel is the colony. And the U.K. gives the whole thing a stamp of legitimacy.”You won't hear this on Fox. And you won't hear it from military recruiters or the GOP establishment either.This is the raw truth about how our government feeds your sons and daughters into endless wars to prop up foreign regimes, while bankrupting your future.Lowkey's U.K. tour starts in September.

What happens when a college football player gets locked up in Beijing for smoking weed and turns it into a bestselling book empire?Picture this: You're 24, fresh out of college, teaching English in Beijing when three Chinese police officers knock on your door. Within hours, you're locked in a cell with 14 Chinese men you can't communicate with, eating three bowls of soup a day with nothing but a plastic spoon. No one knows where you are. No one's coming to save you.But here's the kicker – Chancellor saw opportunity where others would see only despair.Instead of playing victim, he took accountability. Instead of making excuses, he made plans. And instead of letting this experience break him, he turned those 15 days into a #1 bestselling book that launched a publishing empire.In this raw, unfiltered conversation, Chancellor breaks down:The exact moment he knew his life was about to change foreverHow football taught him the accountability that saved his sanity in prisonWhy he refuses to blame anyone but himself for his decisionsThe transition from athlete to entrepreneur that most ex-players never figure outHow he's now coaching both kids on the field AND aspiring authors to bestseller statusCONNECT WITH CHANCELLOR JACKSON:Instagram: @korlehjLinkedIn: Chancellor Jackson YouTube: @10korleh Book: Welcome to the No BS Wealth Podcast with Stoy Hall, your candid guide to financial clarity.

“Why does she still seem scared or upset—even when I'm finally trying to do things right?”“Why does it feel like every step forward brings up more triggers, doubts, and emotional shutdowns?”In Part 5 of “I'm Trying So Hard to Get Things Right in My Marriage,” we dive into one of the most disorienting realities for husbands:When your effort increases—but so does her fear.This episode tackles:Why your wife may panic or shut down even when you're calm, gentle, and spiritually groundedHow triggers, not logic, drive many of her reactions—and why that's not your fault, but still your problemThe truth about “first dates” in marriage recovery—and why rebuilding trust means starting from the bottomWhy being “almost right” isn't good enough—and how to lovingly try again without spinning outHow men can lead through emotional stalls by using spiritual clutch, brakes, and reflectionWhy both of you need to track emotional RPMs to avoid burning out mid-conversationGentlemen, if you've ever asked yourself:“How am I the problem again when I didn't even mess up?”This episode will reframe that confusion with clarity, empathy, and actionable growth tools.Want to read more about this topic? https://www.lifechangingservices.org/triggers-vs-alarms/Rather Watch Something? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-HAX-mDM-Yw&t=1sCheck out Life Changing Services: https://www.lifechangingservices.org/

In today's Summer Solstice Sacred Elements session, we cracked open the element of fire—and things got real.Fire is transformation. It's passion, confidence, and creativity. But it's also the spark that illuminates your shadow—those hidden stories, repressed parts, and people-pleasing patterns you've been justifying for way too long.We explored:The difference between doing fire (candles, crystals, incense) and being fire—living with radiant, unapologetic heatThe journey from a flickering spark of awareness to a wildfire of embodied self-trustWhat it means to tend your bonfire when the people around you want to put it outHow shadow work isn't about digging up the past—it's about clearing the space to live your futureAnd yes, we even pulled in a Pretty Woman reference or two. (Because “Big mistake. Huge.” is peak shadow moment.)
Recently, a friend invited me to a comedy show and as we watched the set, I was delighted to find that the performer and I had a bunch of similarities.Camp-themed show? Check. Preacher's kid? Check. Raising money for queer youth? Check. We even look kind of similar, if you don't count that she's a foot taller than I am.I had to take a shot at the merch table. Lucky for me, along with being tremendously funny, she's also incredibly supportive and generous and agreed to come on the show.So today, I'm talking with the one and only Kristin Key. And while Kristin isn't trans or nonbinary, she does share the all-too-common experience of religious trauma in the queer community and she shares how her family's faith impacted her coming out and her relationship with them. We also chat about neurodivergent quirks, swap some of our favorite camp memories, and the wild connection between me, Kristin, and Brandi Carlisle.Check out the full episode to hear about:How being turned away from church camp and her community there compounded Kristin's traumatic coming outHow being around visibly queer adults helped Kristin see what might be possible in her futureWhy every kid deserves to experience the magic of camp where they get to be their whole selfWhat Kristin would want her younger self to know about coming out and survivingKristin's advice for parents of queer kids Find out more about Kristin Key:WebsiteInstagram: @thekristinkeyTikTok: @kristinkeycomedyFacebook: @kristinkeycomedyYouTube: @kristinkeycomedyKristin Knows Blank PodcastFind out more about Mackenzie Dunham:Wildheartsociety.orgwildheartsociety.org/downloadsWild Heart Society on FacebookWild Heart Society on InstagramMack on TikTokResources:Register for CampDonate to the Queer Community NetworkWild Heart Society MerchThe Brain Candy Podcast
In this episode, queer transformation coach Christiano Green shares an intimate story about coming out and the long-lasting impact of a single sentence: “Life will be harder for you now.”For almost 20 years, Christiano carried that belief—until he discovered that queerness doesn't have to equal pain. It just means our path is different… not worse.Listen as Christiano explores:The emotional weight of coming outHow internalised beliefs shape our livesWhy comparison keeps us stuckAnd how queer people can reclaim their power and rewrite their storiesThis is a must-listen for any queer person navigating identity, healing, or self-worth.
Let's be real—connecting with your tween or teen in the summer used to be easier. Beach days, sidewalk chalk, popsicles on the porch… they used to want to be around you.Now? You get eye-rolls, earbuds, and “I'm good.”But here's the truth:
Where do business insight and patient experience come together?In this week's episode, Dr. Eduardo Hariton shares his POV on cost reductions, business opportunities, and what fertility tech gets right (and wrong) when designing for doctors and patients alike.We talk about:70% or 10%, differences in IVF conversion rateHow to reduce patient drop outHow to measure real IVF conversion ratesWhere Cercle fits in the fertility tech stackHow to balance human touch with scalable systems
Feeling burnt out and drained in your business? Not sure what truly lights you up anymore? You're not alone, and more importantly — you don't have to stay stuck there.In this powerful follow-up episode, I'm diving deep into the practical strategies that will help you rediscover joy in your entrepreneurial journey. This isn't about toxic positivity or pretending everything is fine — it's about giving yourself permission to explore, create, and experience genuine fulfillment in the work you're building.After more than a decade of coaching women entrepreneurs, I've learned that joy isn't something you earn after you "make it." Joy is the fuel that gets you there. And if you're feeling like you're just going through the motions or chasing someone else's definition of success, this episode is your wake-up call.In this episode, you'll discover:Why giving yourself permission to explore new ideas (without implementing them all) can reignite your passionThe "one or two rule" for pursuing new opportunities without burning outHow to identify and eliminate the "shoulds" that are draining your energyMy personal story of recognizing I was the bottleneck in my own business — and how I fixed itThe question that reveals where your biggest frustrations hold the most potential for joyWhy delaying joy until you "achieve more" is keeping you stuckHow to build micro-doses of joy into your daily routine right nowTimestamps:00:00 Permission to explore new ideas without pressure01:00 The danger of chasing too many shiny objects at once02:00 Making space for joy-driven projects (even free ones!)03:00 Avoiding the "shoulds" that drain your energy05:00 Recognizing when others' agendas are influencing your choices06:00 Where are your bottlenecks?

What if slowing down isn't falling behind, but finally catching up with yourself?In this soul-soothing episode, we're joined by speaker and coach Chris Coladonato, who invites us to challenge one of the deepest beliefs so many of us carry: that rest equals laziness. Together, we explore how stillness can be a powerful, practical, and even radical act in a culture that glorifies constant doing.Chris shares her personal journey from high-achieving, always-on professional to becoming a stillness guide—helping others reconnect with clarity, presence, and purpose through intentional rest.From forest bathing and journaling to setting boundaries and challenging limiting beliefs, this conversation is full of wisdom, tools, and gentle truth-telling.We talk about:Why busyness feels safe—and what it might be hidingHow to reclaim rest without guiltCreating space and time for stillness in everyday lifeThe difference between true rest and numbing outHow to challenge the inner voice that calls you lazyWhether you're deep in hustle mode or already feeling the pull to slow down, this episode is your reminder that you don't have to earn your rest—you simply have to allow it.Take a breath, take a beat, and join us in reclaiming your right to just be.Meet Chris Coladonato - speaker, coach, and founder of Connection Catalyst. For years, she wore busyness like a badge of honour, believing that doing more was the key to success.A relentless achiever and the go-to person for everyone else, she knew how to keep moving but didn't know how to stop. It wasn't until she created intentional space to pause that she discovered the real secret: slowing down isn't a step back - it's a powerful step forward.Now, Chris guides busy entrepreneurs and leaders to step away from the relentless hustle and reconnect with themselves.Through coaching, retreats, and immersive experiences, she creates space for intentional pauses - where clarity emerges, creativity ignites, and deep self-connection is reclaimed.You can find out more about Chris and her work online:Website:https://connectioncatalyst.com/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/chrisacoladonato/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/chriscolafairy/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@theconnectioncatalysts* * *Check out our Patreon for exclusive bonus content and gold nuggets from this episode: www.patreon.com/c/IntoYourLifeWatch the podcast on YouTube here: https://bit.ly/IYLPodcastYouTubeAnd don't forget to subscribe to our fortnightly newsletter to receive insights on how to find more life in your life from our amazing guests: subscribepage.io/IYLPodNewsletter* * *

In this episode of Spirituality in Leadership, host Andrew Cohn sits down with Allison Schultz, coach, writer, and co-founder of Reboot—to explore a deeper, more human-centered approach to leadership.At Reboot, coaching goes beyond developing managerial skills. It's about transformation—helping leaders access their full humanity through radical self-inquiry, embodied presence, and spiritual integration.Drawing from her rich background, including a master's in Religious Studies, a lifelong bond with horses, and her new book The Art of Being Human at Work, Ali shares candid stories and powerful insights. She speaks openly about how childhood emotional invisibility and early discomfort with corporate norms shaped her path. Her connection with horses, which she describes as a sacred devotional practice, has deeply informed her understanding of relational intelligence and inner work.Together, Andrew and Ali explore how spirituality, shadow work, and embodiment can shift the very foundation of how we lead and show up in the workplace.Key TakeawaysThe connection between early family dynamics and later leadership patternsWhy Religious Studies offers a surprisingly practical lens for coachingHow horses taught Ali the power of presence, embodiment, and devotionThe sacred importance of shadow work in leadership developmentWhy “making peace with your shadows” is foundational to authentic leadershipHow The Art of Being Human at Work bridges spiritual depth with professional growthThe impact of edited spiritual traditions—and what was left outHow journaling and reflection support sustained leadership growthLeadership as a relational and inner-development practice—not performanceIn This Episode:[00:00] Opening reflections on coaching and religious studies[01:05] Meet Ali Schultz: co-founder of Reboot and horsewoman-philosopher[03:48] Her early tension with work and the seeds of integration[07:53] The practicality of a Religious Studies degree for coaching[11:20] Horses and embodiment: a devotional relationship[15:25] Growing up emotionally unseen—and being witnessed by animals[18:45] Do coaches talk enough about religion and meaning?[22:23] Turning blog essays into a leadership wisdom book[24:37] Parker Palmer quote + spiritual wisdom in the workplace[26:52] How to use the book + journaling for integration[28:44] Reboot's approach to coaching and shadow work[33:55] The sacred act of holding space as a coach[36:59] Where to learn more: Reboot.io and beyond Resources and LinksSpirituality in Leadership Podcasthttps://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/spirituality-in-leadership/id1713365406Allison SchultzWebsite: https://www.reboot.io/Book: The Art of Being Human at WorkLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/alschultzAndrew CohnWebsite: https://www.spiritualityinleadership.com/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/andrewcohnusa/Music: Kodiak: https://open.spotify.com/artist/4rURKtnJr3jeHvZ0IVRQCe
Your campaign launched strong—emails out, ambassadors ready, social posts scheduled. And then the momentum vanished. You're not alone.I'm sharing what no one prepares you for: the messy middle of your fundraising campaign. That moment when things slow down, energy dips, and you start asking, “Where is everybody?” If it feels harder to move donors right now, you're right. The game has changed. Campaigns that used to work aren't hitting the same, and it's not because your cause isn't worthy. It's because “good enough” no longer cuts it. Your donors are behaving more like consumers. They need urgency, energy, and movement.In this episode, I'm walking you through why campaigns stall—and what to do instead. You'll learn how to spot the stall before it happens, how to inject new momentum when the buzz dies down, and why donor fatigue is often a leadership energy issue in disguise. This isn't about working harder. It's about leading differently. Let's get your campaign moving again.Topics:The real reason your fundraising campaign is stalling outHow “donor fatigue” is actually leadership fatigue in disguiseWhy good enough isn't good enough anymore (and what to do instead)The psychology of urgency and how to build it into every campaignWhat donors really need to act nowHow to reignite mid-campaign momentum with a simple but powerful strategyWhat the best campaigns get right: movement, not maintenanceFor a full list of links and resources mentioned in this episode, click here.Bloomerang is the complete donor, volunteer, and fundraising management solution that helps thousands of nonprofits deliver a better giving experience and create sustainable, thriving organizations.

Sometimes your friends are just tired of hearing about it — and that's when it's time to get a coach. In this hilariously real episode, Lizzy and Iza talk about why therapy is great but coaching hits different. They unpack the difference between a friend who cheers you on (even when you're spiraling) and a coach who holds up the mirror and says, “Girl. You're the problem.”
We all hear about the success stories, the case studies, the women who made 7 figures in 5 minutes, but what about the ones who dont make it?The 80% of women who stay small, don't make money, don't breakthrough?What about them? Today we're talking about the clients you don't hear about and why they are struggling.Because really, if your business isn't making the money you want, it's probably not your marketing, your funnel, or the algorithm.It's you.This episode is a straight-up truth bomb about why so many women in business stay stuck and how to finally shift. I brought my husband and business partner Hamish on the mic with me for this one, and together we're breaking down what's really behind business failure (and it's not what you think).We talk about:Why business is always personalThe emotional and mindset blocks sabotaging your growthHow trauma, people-pleasing, overthinking, and perfectionism play out in your strategyWhat it actually takes to build a successful business from the inside outHow we alchemized our pain and past into our superpower—and how you can tooIf you're second-guessing, playing small, undercharging, overdelivering, hiding on social, or holding yourself back, this one is for you.Want help turning things around?Two powerful ways we can support you:
