In today's episode, I chat with Dr. Ann Krajewski, PsyD, about building a private practice while living abroad. We bust the big myths: that it's illegal, that malpractice insurance won't cover you, that virtual practices can't be profitable, that living abroad is expensive, & that time zones make everything too complicated. Ann's actually done this, in Morocco, Thailand (where she gave birth for way less than most people's deductible), & beyond, & she talks about how seeing way fewer clients can still mean living really well. Consider this your permission slip to start fantasizing about running your practice from somewhere with an olive grove. PS: Abundance Party members, Ann is our expert trainer for August!

Send us Fan MailWholehearted Enneagram: A Year Through the Types | Type 5 | Episode 1 of 4What does it look like to be the most prepared person in the room… and the most alone?Amy opens Type Five month with her co-teacher and spiritual director Deanna Sudom, exploring a type that is profoundly misunderstood — often seen as cold or aloof when they are actually among the most perceptive, generous, and deeply feeling people you will ever know.You'll hear about:The Five's core fear of being depleted, incapable, or incompetent — and how it shapes every relationship and decisionWhy Fives aren't emotionally unavailable… they're protecting something precious (and waking up every day feeling like they're already at 20%)The withdrawing stance and what it actually costs a Five and the people who love themHow Fives experience God intellectually before they trust Him — and what shifts when they move from knowing about God to being known by HimThe 18-inch gap between head and heart, and why filling it with more knowledge isn't the answerThe gift of the Five's wisdom, depth, and singular capacity for focused presence, and why the world genuinely needs what they've been holdingWhether you're a Five yourself or you love one, this conversation is an invitation: you don't have to earn your place at the table by knowing enough. You already belong.You have more to give than you know.

Five days ago, I stepped onto a stage at the Pink Skirt Summit, an event founded by my girlfriend Renee Warren, and something cracked wide open in me. This episode is my attempt to share what happened, what I witnessed, and what I took away, not just from my own talk, but from the entire two days In this episode, I'm sharing: What I noticed the moment I walked into the event, and why the energy behind the scenes changes everything for the people in the room Why asking the "safe" people is keeping you small (and what my girlfriend Renee modeled by going for the big asks anyway) How to read the season your audience is in, and why that matters more than any strategy or slide deck What happened the morning of my talk: the tears, the rewiring, the dress, the armpit sweat pads (yes, really) Why your reputation enters the room before you do, and what that means for how you show up everywhere The question my girlfriend Adele asked me that stopped me cold: "At what point are you going to see the version of yourself that we all see?" What I shared on stage about not wanting more, and the woman who cried in the bathroom stall because I finally said the thing out loud Why your value is no longer in what you know, it's in what you see The permission to evolve: what I'm retiring in my business and what I'm stepping into next Why I took the entire month of August off to write The Audacious Woman, and why I have zero regrets about it Let's dive in!

Menopause doesn't just happen to a body, it happens to a relationship. In this episode, Traver Boehm joins Dr. Kelly Casperson to talk about what's actually going on hormonally during perimenopause and menopause, and what that means for the partners trying to understand it from the outside.Kelly breaks down the real difference between perimenopause and menopause (hint: most people are using these words wrong), what's happening biologically during the transition, and why the emotional and relational fallout is often just as real as the hot flashes. Then the conversation turns to men — what's shifting for them hormonally during this same midlife window, and how couples can actually talk to each other about all of it instead of quietly drifting apart.This one's for the women in it and the partners trying to show up for them.In this episode:Perimenopause vs. menopause, where one ends and the other beginsWhat hormonal changes are actually doing to mood, sleep, libido, and connectionThe emotional and relational ripple effects of menopause that no one prepares you forHormonal shifts in men during midlife, and why this isn't just a "her" conversationHow to actually talk to your partner about what's changingRebuilding pleasure and intimacy when everything else is in fluxReminder: none of this is individual medical advice, discuss your own plan with your own clinician.https://www.manuncivilized.com/https://www.instagram.com/traverboehmSubscribe, leave a review, and share this episode with someone who needs it.

This episode isn't really about money strategies (though we get into some of that too). It's about why really intelligent, capable people avoid opening their bank statements, undercharge for their work, blow their savings the moment they make good money, or freeze right before pulling the trigger on an investment they know makes sense. We've been those people, and in this episode we're getting personal. In this episode we talk about: Why two people can receive the exact same amount of money and have completely different experiences with it How your nervous system is running the financial show The GIC example that explains exactly how banks make money off your fear Why making more money doesn't fix a leaky financial foundation Our own money stories (including why I finally got my financial license, and what pushed me to do it) The "doors conversation" we had in our kitchen last week Why we sold our Costa Rica house and got rid of our boat Budgeting as money awareness, not restriction The $25/month RESP investment that's going to make our kids millionaires How to get your teenager to actually care about investing (hint: don't be the one to have the conversation) Let's dive in!

You've been showing up. Doing the workouts. Putting in the time. And still, nothing is giving back — no strength, no visible muscle, no change in your body composition. In this episode, Melissa breaks down why muscle is the single best investment you can make in your midlife body, why so much of what women call "strength training" isn't actually building muscle, and why you can't build muscle on top of a body that isn't recovering. This is Strength — the fourth S in the 6S Method inside Well Nourished.IN THIS EPISODE, YOU'LL LEARN:Why your muscle is your 401k — the investment that compounds slowly and pays off for decadesWhat muscle is actually doing for you in midlife: regulating blood sugar, keeping your metabolism healthy, and keeping you mobile and independent as you ageHow muscle changes everything if you're on a GLP-1 — lower doses, fewer side effects, better outcomesThe truth about the fear of getting "bulky" (and why it's nearly impossible for most women)Why Pilates, hot sculpt classes, and grabbing the familiar weight in a group class are not strength trainingWhy cardio is a taking exercise and strength training is a giving-back exerciseCreative ways to apply progressive overload beyond just lifting a heavier dumbbell — sets, reps, rest time, and tempoHow to measure your progress in the data of your workouts while you wait for the mirror to catch upWhy women who already know progressive overload still lose muscle — and the other S's that make strength training actually workTIMESTAMPS:00:01 — Well Nourished waitlist + welcome 01:14 — Where Strength fits in the 6S Method 01:46 — Your muscle is your 401k 02:38 — The good news: you're not starting from zero, and muscle has memory03:10 — What muscle actually does for you (blood sugar, GLP-1, mobility, independence) 03:56 — Nobody is taking my dog from me 04:15 — The fear of doing "too much" and getting bulky 05:30 — Nobody wants to be skinny fat — what body composition change really means 06:00 — When your workouts aren't giving anything back 06:33 — Pilates vs. traditional strength training 07:15 — Hot sculpt classes: leaving strength on the table 08:15 — Grabbing the familiar weight is movement, not strength training 08:58 — Cardio: a taking exercise vs. a giving-back exercise 09:58 — How to measure if your training is working 10:30 — Progressive overload beyond heavier dumbbells: sets, reps, rest time, tempo 11:12 — Measuring body composition: InBody, DEXA, photos, trends 12:44 — Let the data motivate you while the mirror catches up 13:30 — Client story: you don't need to be good at working out, you just need a plan 15:07 — "I already do all of this and it's still not working" 15:30 — You can't build muscle on a body that isn't safe 16:45 — Why all the S's are foundational to each other 17:05 — Join the Well Nourished waitlist + what's nextRESOURCES:

Have you ever been made to feel like you weren't good enough, not because of your results or effort, but because of how someone in your organization views or interacts with you? Do you find that being handed work below your level or being overlooked for major opportunities is slowly eroding your confidence over time? What if being undervalued at work isn't a reflection of your actual ability, but simply evidence that you are sharing your expertise in the wrong room? In this episode, I am taking you inside my coaching room to share a powerful story from a senior, highly experienced client who was feeling stuck and overlooked in her corporate role. When she took the exact same expertise she was using at work and packaged it for external clients, everything shifted. The positive response and paid validation completely restored her confidence and transformed how she showed up across her entire career. Many ambitious women assume that being undervalued inside an organization means they need more training, more credentials, or more time before stepping out into the marketplace. In reality, being undervalued is contextual, not evidential. One room's read on your capabilities is not the final word on the immense value you can bring. Building something on the side isn't just about creating an extra stream of income; it serves as a powerful space to test your ideas, build unshakeable self-belief, and take control of your professional worth. What you will learn in this episodeWhy being undervalued is contextual rather than evidential. Feeling overlooked in your current role doesn't mean you lack capability. Switching up the context and presenting your skills to the right audience can completely change how your work is received and valued. How external validation rebuilds internal confidence. Receiving positive feedback and getting paid for your expertise outside of your nine-to-five provides a level of validation that instantly shifts your self-belief. The ripple effect of owning your worth. Securing client opportunities outside of work teaches you how to set firm boundaries, advocate for your time, and show up with top-tier confidence inside your primary role.

Fernando Espuelas has spent three decades building companies and shaping conversations at the intersection of technology, business, and public life. In this episode, I sit down with him to talk about his path from an immigrant childhood in Uruguay to becoming one of the internet's early pioneers. Fernando immigrated to the U.S. from Uruguay at age 10 and grew up watching his mother clean houses and work nights so he could get an education. He worked gas station and pet store jobs before eventually co-founding StarMedia, the world's first pan-Latin internet portal and the first Latin internet company to go public. Today Fernando leads Vera Money, the first Emotional AI Financial Operating System, built to help Zillennials reduce money anxiety and take control of their finances. He shares why he built Vera around trust and ethical AI, and what keeps him building instead of chasing retirement. In this episode, Fernando shares: His immigrant journey from Uruguay and how early hardship shaped his ambition How a history degree led him into advertising, then into launching the consumer internet in Latin America Why he believes retirement isn't the goal, and what keeps him building How Vera uses AI to help people manage money without selling their data or charging hidden fees + more What's New in the Paperback Edition of Your Journey to Financial Freedom: A bonus chapter: When Life Happens: Staying on the Path to Financial Freedom Through Setbacks, Shifts, and Uncertainty A book club and discussion guide with prompts, exercises, and action steps Updated corrections from the original hardcover Exclusive bonuses when you purchase the paperback, including: The Fire Starter Course The Find Your FIRE Number Worksheet Other related blog posts/links mentioned in this episode: Download & try Vera for free, here Get your paperback edition of Your Journey To Financial Freedom if you haven't already.

What happens when you finally reach the top... and you're still not satisfied? In this episode, I'm getting personal about the year I won Teacher of the Year and the surprising question that followed: okay, now what? If you're a high-achieving teacher who's always pushing for the next level, this episode is going to name something you've probably felt but never had the words for.I'm breaking down why the career ladder in education is short by design, and why hitting that ceiling isn't a sign you haven't done enough — it's just proof the system wasn't built for people like us. I'm also getting honest about what happens when that drive has nowhere left to go: it doesn't disappear, it turns into more. More hours, more tasks, more silently proving you're still enough. And I'm sharing the reframe that's helped me most, both as a teacher and as a mom trying to model something healthier for my own kids.Check out the full shownotes: http://www.teachingmindbodyandsoul.com/episode157
People on Clare County Council's housing waiting list are not asking for perfection – they are asking for a front door they can call their own. That is the message from Aontú representative for Clare, June Dillon, who has called on Clare County Council to dramatically speed up the refurbishment of its vacant housing stock, arguing that unnecessary bureaucracy is prolonging the housing crisis for thousands of local people. Clare County Council has 257 people on their waiting list over 7 years for housing with the national average re-let time for a social house by a local authority being approximately 35 weeks. Derrrick Lynch spoke with Aontú representative for Clare June Dillon, followed by Cllr Tony O'Brien. Photo (c) Clare County Council
In this episode, I get into what I really think is underneath all of this (and it's not ambition). For a lot of us, what we've been calling ambition is actually survival. From the time we were little girls, being good, capable, productive, and useful got rewarded. And eventually our nervous systems wired achievement to safety. If I perform, I'm safe. If I'm useful, I'm loved. That's not a personality trait. That's a nervous system pattern. And it explains why slowing down can feel absolutely terrifying even when your body is begging for rest. Reflection questions from this episode: What do you actually want if no one was watching? What are you still trying to prove, and to whom? If you woke up tomorrow already believing you were enough, what would you stop chasing? Write your own definition of success. Not your industry's, not Instagram's, not your parents'. Yours.

Are you holding back from starting a side project or an additional stream of income because you fear it will ruin your focus at work? Do you worry that building something on the side will make your employer question your commitment or negatively impact your day-to-day performance? What if creating a business outside your 9 to 5 is actually the key to sharpening your skills and making you a highly sought-after professional? In this episode, I share a recent personal experience from a legal consulting project that proved why having a side venture actually enhances your career performance rather than distracting from it. Drawing on the systems and problem-solving skills I developed as a business owner, I was able to build a brand-new operations system that added immense, immediate value to the organisation. Many ambitious women assume that dividing their focus will dilute their impact. In reality, stepping into a training ground outside your full-time role broadens your perspective, refines your resilience, and equips you to solve high-level problems with ease. Building something on the side isn't just a strategy for leaving corporate; it is often the ultimate training ground to help you show up as a leader, stand out in your industry, and thrive where you are. What you will learn in this episodeHow side projects act as an active skill-building ground. Pushing yourself to build something from scratch forces you to develop resilience and strategic awareness that you simply cannot build by keeping your head down in a routine role. The power of training your brain to think like a business owner. Stepping outside your day-to-day tasks builds an entrepreneurial mindset. You begin anticipating challenges, optimising processes, and thinking with the long-term vision that C-suite leadership looks for. Why cross applying your unique skill stack makes you a sought after employee. Combining your corporate expertise with the diverse capabilities gained from running a business gives you a unique perspective that sets you apart from your peers.

Launch Your Box Podcast with Sarah Williams | Start, Launch, and Grow Your Subscription Box
“When you listen to your mentor, things will work.” - Cathy Schwartz Collecting people, finding your hottest leads, building a foundation for your subscription box launch… It's all part of the Waitlist Plan I teach inside Launch Your Box. And by following that Waitlist Plan, Cathy Schwartz of Decorator Crafts sold out the launch of her Luxury Loops subscription box in only 24 hours. Cathy's subscription box journey started when she learned to make wreaths and work with ribbon as a way to deal with a stressful corporate job. She fell in love with ribbon, particularly high-end, designer ribbon. She soon realized she wasn't alone in her love for luxury ribbon - there were a LOT of people who wanted to learn how to decorate with high-end ribbon. Soon, Cathy decided to take the passion and knowledge and launch a monthly subscription box. She also started a private Facebook Group where subscribers go to learn how to decorate with their ribbons and build community. Cathy is a member of Launch Your Box and Scale Your Box. She is a dream student who soaks up the training and implements it in her business. This includes the Waitlist Plan. The Waitlist Plan is all about consistently driving traffic to your subscription box waitlist. It's a list of people who have said “Yes, I'm interested in what you're selling.” They are your warmest leads. A waitlist is not only for your first launch. You need to consistently build your waitlist between launches as well. Just like Cathy does. Due to the quantities Cathy's exclusive ribbons are available in, she adds new subscribers in groups of 48. When she recently launched to new subscribers, she of course started with her waitlist. Just like I teach inside Launch Your Box. But, unlike most subscription box owners, Cathy never had to move on to the next phase of her launch. She sold out her launch to her waitlist in only 24 hours! Cathy had a waitlist of 300 people when it was time to launch. 300 very warm leads. She grew that waitlist - and continues to grow it consistently. Recently, Cathy posted a video of a Christmas Urn project. The response was beyond anything she could have imagined. She gained 6,000 Facebook followers in 72 hours and the video has more than 150,000 views on TikTok. Cathy realized she needed to capture all these people's emails to bring them into her world. She quickly put together an opt-in for the project and has been busy driving people to her waitlist. Cathy serves her audience. She teaches them, she engages with them, and she builds excitement and FOMO with the help of her subscribers. She's doing all the right things, especially when it comes to following the Waitlist Plan. I'm so proud of all Cathy has accomplished in her business. She now has over 500 subscribers and I know that number will continue to grow. Join me for this episode and be inspired as Cathy tells us what can happen when you get consistent, follow the plan, and curate an exclusive experience for your subscribers.

In Episode 8, the final installment of Erin's Expansive Series, we'll explore the piece that brings everything that we've talked about in this series together: Action. Expansion doesn't happen from just thinking about it. Manifestation and regulating your nervous system can only take you so far. Expansion requires taking consistent actions aligned with your goal. Even if you don't know everything. Even if you don't feel ‘ready'. Today we'll explore how. You'll learn: How taking action delivers clarity to your vision (check out Dairyboy's journey for an example!) “What is your next best step?” Why small consistent actions are what really move the needle on expansion Shifting your focus away from outcomes and toward your identity What changes in your outlook when you eelebrate every aligned step Your permission to want moreIf you're ready for expansion and want to do it within an incredible community of women, join us inside of The Expansive Mastermind.

Along the way, we debate the great romantic question...is it Team Hayward or Team Ryder?Whether you've recently read The Other Bennet Sister, watched the BritBox adaptation, or simply love a good character study, this episode is a joyful blend of literary discussion, personality insights, and a celebration of the quiet people who discover they were never meant to remain in the background.Because sometimes the most compelling hero isn't the loudest person in the room; it's the one who's finally learning to believe her own story matters.Amy LOVED the book and is having fun sharing it with her people... find a copy here.*Or stream on BritBox**These are affiliate links which help to support the podcast, but don't increase the cost for you!Support the showRESOURCES FOR YOU:Join the Waitlist for 1:1 Coaching with Amy Wickshttps://www.simplywholehearted.com/callamywicksNot sure about your Enneagram Type?

In this episode, I'm doing a full reflection on the sixth annual Audacious Woman Retreat I hosted in Kelowna this past June. This isn't just a recap. It's a conversation about something I believe with every fiber of my being: the room is the most powerful business tool you will ever step into, and sometimes, you have to be brave enough to build it yourself. In this episode, I'm sharing: Why I hosted five women in my rented home for five days, and what emerged that no agenda could have planned The difference between information and knowledge Why the "right room" has nothing to do with celebrity coaches, luxury venues, or million-dollar masterminds What I've learned after six years of hosting these retreats: the room doesn't actually exist until the humans arrive The concept of "stacking evidence" Why vulnerability creates speed in business (and why pretending you have it together is costing you years) The lobster theory of women in business Why confidence is contagious, and what happens when one woman asks the hard question out loud My reflection on leadership: I'm not better than the women in the room, I'm just a little further along A permission slip for the woman who has been waiting to feel "ready enough" to gather her people Let's dive in!

You already know what to do. So why is it still so hard to actually do it?As a pharmacist, I've spent years recommending lifestyle modifications to patients. But somewhere along the way, I realized the same gap exists for so many high-achieving women, especially those of us in healthcare. We know the habits. We just struggle to make them stick.In this episode, we're talking about why knowledge isn't the missing piece, what might be getting in the way instead, and the powerful question that could change the way you think about your health, your habits, and the woman you're becoming.Register for the Habits Beneath the Habits Bootcamp!

We're closing out the season with something different: a multidisciplinary breakdown of episode six of Heated Rivalry. Not a recap. Not a fan theory session. A real conversation about what the show gets right — and what it gets wrong — about male performance anxiety, queer identity, female arousal physiology, and the stories we tell ourselves about our own bodies.To be clear: this isn't about hockey. It's about what happens when good storytelling accidentally becomes a teaching moment for sexual health.What We CoverPerformance anxiety isn't in your head — it's in your nerves, arteries, and muscles. Erectile function is vascular and neurological before it's psychological. Medication, alcohol, dehydration, stress — all of it shows up in the body before it shows up in the bedroom. We break down why "just relax" is the least useful advice you can give a man who's struggling, and what's actually happening physiologically when performance doesn't match desire.Shane's coming out arc, and why identity evolution isn't linear. The show doesn't hand Shane a clean, tidy arc — and that's the point. We talk about how culture, family history, and internalized norms shape the timeline of coming out, and why real identity work rarely looks like the movie version.Communication is the actual plot device. Underneath the hockey, the drama, the trauma — the show works because the characters eventually say the thing. We talk about why authentic communication is the real special effect in any story about intimacy, on screen or off.Behind the scenes: setting, production choices, small details you'd miss on a first watch — and yes, a detour into tentacle erotica as a case study in how sexual expression keeps evolving in media, and why that's worth understanding rather than dismissing.Key TakeawaysErectile response is biological first, emotional second — treat it that way.Female arousal physiology doesn't disappear at menopause; it changes, and imaging confirms it.Coming out stories are shaped by context, not just courage.Good storytelling about sex requires vulnerability, not perfection.Expanding your sexual literacy — even through fiction — is part of the work.You are not broken. Your body isn't broken. And apparently, neither is prestige TV's ability to sneak real sex ed into a hockey drama.Season two, see you soon.— KellySubscribe, leave a review, and share this episode with someone who needs it.

This week, I pulled my husband in to do a full recap of our family trip to Italy at the end of May. We were there for 15 days with our two kids (17 and 19 at the time), and honestly, a month later I'd hop on a plane back in a heartbeat. We cover everything: how we planned it, how we paid for it, what we'd do differently, and the real, unfiltered truth about what it's like to travel as a family of four for two weeks straight. In this episode, we talk about: How we used credit card points to cover four flights and how we scored a last-minute premium cabin upgrade for all of us for about $3,000 The difference between staying in hotels vs. Airbnbs, and why Airbnbs won for us every time Why we'd skip the Amalfi next time (controversial, I know) and where we wish we'd spent more days The hidden charges at Italian restaurants that caught us off guard How we average 20,000–30,000 steps a day and why getting lost on foot is genuinely one of the best travel strategies Why we booked the Colosseum and Vatican three months out Our honest take on Naples What it means to raise kids who know how to travel Let's dive in!

Quynh, Jessie, and Sara go behind the scenes of their paper flower mastermind, sharing what three cohorts have taught them about accountability, imposter syndrome, and building a creative business for the long haul. In this episode, Quynh, Jessie, and Sara step away from guest interviews to talk directly to you about something they don't often unpack on the podcast: their mastermind community, Paper to Profit, and what running it for three cohorts has taught them about what it actually takes to build a paper flower business that lasts. They talk candidly about the difference between making art and selling art, why their members today struggle with too much information instead of too little, and why accountability and community consistently move the needle more than any single tactic. Sara and Jessie share what it's like watching members go from afraid to even say “I'm an artist” out loud to confidently running their first workshops and sales. "It's so easy to sit and think and not do anything about it. Our purpose in the mastermind is to motivate you, to keep you accountable, to be your cheerleaders." - Jessie on accountability The hosts also get real about the timeline. Referencing recurring guest Poy T. Granati's three-year pursuit of a Hermès collaboration, and their own decade-plus journey building Paper Talk into a top-ranked podcast, Quynh and the team make the case that meaningful creative businesses are built slowly, with consistent effort, not overnight virality. They close with details on their next mastermind cohort opening September 8th (sign-ups open in August) and their upcoming August retreat in Seattle, which includes a visit to the Seattle wholesale flower market and the flower fields of Mount Vernon and Skagit Valley. As always, the episode wraps with the hosts' current favorite things, including Quynh's new obsession with her Oura ring, Jessie's discovery of a product that saves her from uncomfortable leaks, Sara's long-overdue investment in real running shoes.

What if the biggest risk you take is the one that changes everything? In this episode, I chat with Teri Ijeoma, trader, entrepreneur, author, and founder of Trade and Travel, an investment education company that has taught over 40,000 students how to actively invest. Teri left a toxic career as an assistant principal, taught herself to trade stocks while traveling the world, and built one of the top investing courses. Now she's back with her debut book, The Risk Worth Taking, and she's sharing the full picture of what the journey has actually looked like. Teri opens up about everything that's happened since we last spoke from growing her company to a team of 40 and navigating the burnout that came with it, to making the difficult decision to step back, downsize, and move from Puerto Rico back to the U.S. in search of a deeper community. She shares how a health scare became a turning point, why she chose to prioritize herself over expectations and obligations, and what it meant to finally bring a new dream to life by finishing her first book. It's an honest conversation about success, reinvention, and creating a life that aligns with what matters most. In this episode, Teri Ijeoma shares: How she scaled back from 40 employees to two and transitioned her course to self-study Her Smart Risk Framework, the 4 C's, and how it applies beyond investing What Trump Accounts are, who qualifies, and why she wants every parent to know about them The story behind her new novel-style investing book and how it teaches trading through fiction + more What's New in the Paperback Edition of Your Journey to Financial Freedom: A bonus chapter: When Life Happens: Staying on the Path to Financial Freedom Through Setbacks, Shifts, and Uncertainty A book club and discussion guide with prompts, exercises, and action steps Updated corrections from the original hardcover Exclusive bonuses when you purchase the paperback, including: The Fire Starter Course The Find Your FIRE Number Worksheet Other related blog posts/links mentioned in this episode: Trade and Travel Course: tradeandtravel.com Check out Teri's book, The Risk Worth Taking JTL Episode 483 with Dr. Kemi Doll (fibroids and endometriosis): journeytolaunch.com/episode483 Get your paperback edition of Your Journey To Financial Freedom if you haven't already.

Launch Your Box Podcast with Sarah Williams | Start, Launch, and Grow Your Subscription Box
You've built your audience. You're showing up consistently, posting on social media, going live, running giveaways, and doing all the things to get more eyes on your business. Your waitlist is growing. It feels like it's time to launch, right? Not so fast. Rushing straight from building a waitlist to launching your subscription box is one of the biggest mistakes I see new subscription box owners make. The Missing Step in Your Subscription Box Marketing Plan Inside Launch Your Box, I teach a 5-step subscription box marketing plan: Audience building Waitlist growth Pre-launch Launch Retention Most subscription box owners understand the importance of building an audience and growing a waitlist. And they're definitely focused on launching. But that third step? Pre-launch? It gets skipped far too often. Your pre-launch period is when you turn the people who joined your waitlist into an engaged, excited audience ready to buy when you open the doors. Before someone subscribes, they need to believe two things: You are the right person to help them. People buy from people they know and trust. They need to know your story, understand why you created your subscription box, and feel connected to the person behind the business. Your subscription box solves a problem they actually have. People don't buy products. They buy solutions. A hobby box might solve the problem of not knowing what supplies to buy or where to find inspiration. A self-care box gives someone permission to slow down. A pet subscription box makes it easy to spoil a much-loved pet. Get clear on the problem your box solves before you start writing your pre-launch emails. Then, over the two to three weeks leading up to your launch, send these six emails. What Happens After? Get these six emails written and scheduled, and you'll walk into launch day with a warm, ready-to-buy audience instead of a cold list. But your email marketing doesn't stop when you launch. It simply shifts. Once you have subscribers, your goal changes from convincing people to buy to keeping the people you already have excited, engaged, and looking forward to their next box. That's why I created a free swipe file with 5 emails you can send to your subscribers every single month. You'll get email templates for: Monthly unboxings Subscriber shares Five ways to use your box Box sneak peeks Behind-the-scenes content Click HERE and enter your email address to have the swipe files sent straight to your inbox. Join me for this episode as I walk you through the six emails to send before your subscription box launch, what each email needs to accomplish, and how they work together to build trust, create excitement, and get your audience ready to buy.

Have you ever caught yourself saying, "I'll do it after this school year" or "We'll take that trip next summer"?Teacher burnout doesn't just leave us exhausted. It quietly convinces us that our lives can wait. We postpone the vacations, the hobbies, the dinners with friends, and the moments with the people we love because we're waiting for the perfect time. But what if that time never comes?In this episode, I'm sharing the unexpected lesson I learned from a family trip to Yellowstone that I almost didn't take. It wasn't the breathtaking views that changed me. It was realizing how easily burnout had convinced me to postpone living. If you've been waiting for permission to prioritize yourself, your family, or the life you're working so hard to build, this conversation is your reminder that later isn't guaranteed.Check out the full episode shownotes: http://www.teachingmindbodyandsoul.com/episode155
