Her StorySelling Philosophy is a unique model that takes sales conversations deeper. The framework consists of 3 interconnected circles: Connection, Conversation, and Conversion. The magic happens at the intersection of these 3. Bernadette unpacks the internal stories that affect salespeople's performance: Identity, Authority, and Money. She explains that the outcomes for each one of these stories are being enough, demonstrating expertise, and expressing value.HIGHLIGHT QUOTESFind the intersection between connection, conversation, and conversion - Bernadette: "When you do get to the right level of connection, you need to have the right depth of conversation. When you can get to the right level of connection and your conversations are the right depth, then your conversions will accelerate. So that's not rocket science.""So that's connection, conversation, and conversion. But where the magic happens is at the intersections. So the first intersection are the internal stories. They are the stories you tell yourself about the buyer. The external stories, the second intersection, are the stories you tell your buyer.""And the third intersection are what I call the essential stories, and they are the stories you must elicit from your buyer.

She is the Founder of Charge Your Worth Academy and Co-Founder of Robyn Laurel & Company.   Angelica helps driven beauty professionals transform their business and go from being overworked and not making profit to a full time recurring revenue through her 6 months group coaching program Charge Your Worth Academy.    Angelica's Story Hello This is Angelica, I was once in a place of being overworked and not making a real profit, but in 2015 a shift took place as I was becoming a mother.  My body was changing whether I liked it or not and so was my mindset.  I knew I could no longer spend countless hours behind the chair and I needed to increase my profit while working less so I could enjoy my new bundle of joy.  This is the one thing most entrepreneurs struggle with.  I'm here to help you make that same shift I made 6 years ago.    Angelica's Background I worked as a hair stylist for over 17 years. I am currently the co-founder of Robyn Laurél Haircare Products, a Certified Cosmetologist Educator, 8 years as a salon owner, and 6 years as an educator.  I love doing hair just as much as I love teaching, so merging the two passions was definitely a no brainer.  The goal is to bring unity to a diversified beauty industry.    Angelica's Mission My mission is to help you run your business and not let it run you.  Step into a CEO entrepreneurial game, and create the FINANCIAL FREEDOM for yourself. I am dedicated to to helping people get off the struggle bus and build an established business, restructure how they charge for services, build a system of continuous cash flow, work less and increase their income by following my developed blueprint through my signature program Charge Your Worth Academy. I know the struggle of building a successful business behind the chair and it could be lonely but I have built my successful business from the ground up with community!  No more doing business alone.    "TOGETHER WE CAN ACHIEVE SO MUCH MORE"!!   Marisa Lonic is a keynote speaker, life & business coach, 3x author, top-rated podcast host and the founder of Mama Work It.  After spending nearly 15 years in corporate leadership positions, Marisa shifted gears to become a full-time Time Momager & Biz Momager.

Your Self- Love Sage. I used to fall in love with toxic men, have weak boundaries, and battle sugar and food addiction. I struggled with crippling anxiety, loneliness, feeling misunderstood, and constant guilt and shame. I was emotionally paralyzed and couldn't focus on living my purpose. The answer to my prayers was releasing my Southern Baptist roots and embracing Spirituality, which literally saved my life by teaching me how to heal myself.   Years later I have rebuilt my identity and learned to deeply love, accept, and connect with myself.   My core teachings are re-building confidence, understanding and processing emotions, and reaching your highest potential with the time we've got on Earth.   I use my spiritual gifts of Reiki energy healing, clairsentience and claircognizance to support your breakthroughs. As an empath and highly-sensitive person I hear and feel the things you don't say to get you to a solution that feels good to your soul.   Megan Moran is a Mompreneur on a mission to live a Present + Productive Life.

I am Beth.   I am an expert at working with the subconscious mind. I teach women how to release unprocessed emotions and reparent memories that are holding them back from their desire to live their best life in regards to their marriage, wealth and well-being. I am a Certified Hypnotist, Teacher of Psychology & Marriage Coach. I have appeared in major media publications such as MacClean's Magazine, CTV, the London Free Press and has been a guest on dozens of podcasts & blogs. I have spent many years studying the Law of Attraction, Law of Vibration, the conscious and subconscious mind, along with Neuroscience, Epigenetics, EFT (emotional freedom technique), and Energetics of Human Beings.   We have the power to change our brain. I took a deep dive into neuroscience when I experienced a brain bleed. The plasticity of the brain is why I can walk and write again. Through reinforcement of tasks and thoughts, I created new neural pathways. This same theory that works with the plasticity of the brain is the foundation of the Soulify Method, which has helped many women make incredible transformations within their relationships, wealth and well-being. I teach women how to become aligned and connected with their true self.   Once in alignment, they learn how to 100% trust their inner knowing, release old beliefs and stuck emotions. When the ingrained beliefs and unwanted emotions are out of the way, they instinctually take action and make decisions based on their intuition without fear and doubt. The result- they 100% manifest the relationships, wealth and well-being that they have always wanted into their lives. It was unbelievable! Literally, they create the life they dreamed of. It feels like magic (but it is rooted in science). Their desires start coming effortlessly, with such ease and flow once the blocks are out of the way.   And here I am ready to give you the powerful and profound tools to 100% shift your life & bring your wildest dreams to reality using the POWER of hypno-journeying. Beth specializes in helping women: Save their Marriages (Signature Marriage Saver Program) Lose weight and have more Energy. Eliminate Evening Snacking & Overeating. Stop Biting Your Nails.

It's all about conscious living making the decision of what you want your relationship to look and feel like down the road. It's so easy to get wrapped up in parenthood and forget who you are, today we talk about how to avoid that and find the balance in parenting.   Who Is Miranda Clark: I am a mental health therapist, working primarily with couples.  My favorite couples are those who are new/expectant parents and navigating the relationship changes that occur once a baby is brought home.  I am a Bringing Baby Home, and 7 Principles educator from the Gottman institute and have been in private practice in the state of Oregon for over 10 years.  I live with my husband of almost 17 years, and together have two daughters aged 8 and 5. When I'm not working, I'm carting kiddos to and from soccer while also squeezing in as many camping trips as possible :)   In this episode we are talking about maternal therapy and it's importance not just for you but for your entire family because when mom is happy, everyone is happy. Motherhood does not mean sacrifice, it means embracing your new meaning of a caregiver, a love giver and a joy giver. It all starts with you and you are your priority.   About Kate Kripke:   Motherhood is one of the most profound human experiences—miraculous and life-changing. It gives some a renewed sense of purpose while leaving others feeling anxious and confused. As a mom, I've experienced both.    I've dedicated my life's work to helping women navigate the challenges that motherhood invariably brings. I coach mothers of all ages across the continuum of circumstances and stages of motherhood. I use my personal experience for perspective and my extensive training and real world practice to help mothers establish and maintain habits in self care that result in happy, healthy families.  My approach is solution focused, positive, and geared at helping you to uncover the deep knowledge and wisdom that you already possess.    I believe that every individual is his, her or their own expert. My work is centred around empowering women to tap into their inner expertise so they can thrive. We know through decades of research that healthy relationships and attachments with children starts with healthy parents. And that children in healthy attachments with their parents are more likely to thrive themselves.   Kristi Nellor is a reinvention strategist, empowerment and mindset coach, artist, maker, designer, and creativity catalyst for companies, teams and individuals looking to transform their impact, messaging, mindsets, and lives.

It's Transformational Thursday, Sisters!  And I'm so excited to share our next guest of the season with you, Kelly Scott.     One of my favorite things about the podcast is being able to connect with women who are passionate about making an impact in the world and it was a real treat to speak to someone who helps women do just that.   As a Story Strategist and Transformational Coach under the Transformational Coaching Method of the Holistic MBA, Kelly graduated Summa cum laude from the University of Mary Washington, with a bachelor of science and honors degree in Mathematics. After spending two years post-graduation as a full-time Systems Engineer for the Department of the Navy, Kelly began her entrepreneurial journey as the founder of The Fearless Footprint and kellyelizabethscott.com. Through private intensives, Kelly helps rising thought leaders and coaches clarify their story, craft their core message, and create content that transforms and converts! She believes that if you want to design a beautiful life, create a body of work, and craft a brand that inspires, empowers, and sparks bold action, then you have to start with a story.  Plus, if you want to grow your engaged (& raving!) tribe, feel deeply connected to your purpose, and leave the biggest footprint on our hearts and in the world, then visit bit.ly/kesfreebie to download Kelly's free mp3 training & workbook: "What stories are you sharing?
