When I was 18, I accidentally joined a cult. This left me with one indelible lesson that has shaped my entire career as a business coach: people are astonishingly quick to give away their power.In this episode, I unpack what that early experience taught me about authority, hierarchy, and how easily we project extraordinary qualities onto other people, especially in the coaching and online business world.We're talking about pedestal-building, guru culture, quantum leaps, collapsed timelines, and why this dynamic is dangerous for clients as well as for coaches. Because when someone puts you on a pedestal, they're not just flattering you. They're relinquishing responsibility. And the fall, when it comes, can be brutal.If you're a coach, consultant, leader, or ambitious woman building something meaningful, this important conversation will have you rethinking your views on power, impact, influence and psychology.In this episode, you'll learn:Why my experience teaching meditation at 18 revealed a hidden dynamic about authority that most business owners never questionThe subtle but dangerous difference between respecting expertise and projecting magical thinking onto someoneHow pedestal-building actually gives you a “get out of jail free” card (and why that's more costly than you think)The early warning signs you're dealing with a guru, not a leaderThe small boundary violations that often precede the biggest coaching horror storiesWhy “just copy my blueprint” ignores systemic privilege, context, and lived realityThe mature relationship to power that most values-based business owners were never taughtA simple but powerful question to ask when a client puts you on a pedestal — and how it changes the dynamic instantlyThis episode is for you if you've ever caught yourself thinking, “She's just different. I could never do that.” It's especially for you if you've experienced an energy vampire client, struggled with boundaries, or want to lead without becoming authoritarian.Many thoughtful, intelligent women in business have a complicated relationship with power. We've seen it abused. We may have experienced manipulation from others multiple times. We've been undermined. It's time for a new vision of power.
What if you're not stuck… you've just mastered your current level?In this episode, I'm breaking down the real reason your income keeps landing at the same number and it's probably not what you think. It's not about working harder, chasing more leads, or adding another strategy. Most agents hit an income ceiling because their operating system hasn't evolved with their growth.I see this pattern with new agents, top producers, and even seven-figure businesses. The hustle that got you here won't take you to the next level. And if you feel like you're doing more but earning the same… this conversation is going to challenge how you look at your business structure, capacity, and leverage.If you've ever felt plateaued, restless, or like you're pushing against an invisible ceiling, this episode is for you.Things I Cover In This EpisodeWhy repeating income numbers is a structure problem not a motivation problemThe difference between hustle-driven growth vs system-driven capacityThe simple formula: Leads × Conversion × Capacity = IncomeWhere most agents unknowingly create their own income ceilingThe hidden role your operating system plays in scaling beyond six and seven figuresHow decision fatigue and fragile systems limit your growthThe three real ways to create income jumps without burning outWhy high-level agents focus on capacity first, not just volumeIf this episode made you realize you've outgrown your current structure, it might be time to upgrade your operating system. Inside my virtual and in-person workshops, we don't just talk strategy, we install the systems and structure that raise your income ceiling.Head to letsplaybigger.com to learn more about upcoming workshops and coaching programs.And if this episode hit home for you, share it with a friend and tag me on Instagram @itsraquelq. I love seeing how you're Playing Bigger.---
Have you ever felt that quiet tension between your ambition and your faith? You love Jesus.You’re grateful for the gifts and opportunities He’s given you.And yet… the pace feels relentless. The meetings, the deadlines, the expectations, the invisible pressure to keep achieving and proving. Even when things are going well, there can still be a restlessness underneath it all. That’s why I’m so grateful for this week’s conversation on The Love Offering Podcast with Erin Harrigan about her book, Redefining Hustle: Navigating Success with Jesus. Erin speaks directly to high-achieving Christian women—women who care deeply about excellence in their work but don’t want success to come at the cost of their peace, their families, or their intimacy with God. In our conversation, we talk about: The subtle ways self-reliance sneaks into our work Why hustle culture can quietly shape our identity How to pursue ambition without striving for worth Practical rhythms that anchor your workday in Christ What it looks like to measure success differently What I love most is that Erin doesn’t tell women to abandon ambition. Instead, she invites us to surrender it—to bring our goals, businesses, and careers under the lordship of Jesus so that our work becomes an offering rather than an idol. As someone who understands the tension of building a platform, stewarding opportunities, and caring for family at the same time, this message felt especially timely. We can work diligently and faithfully without carrying the crushing weight of proving ourselves. You were never meant to hustle for your value.You already have it in Christ. If you’re feeling stretched thin, quietly burned out, or simply hungry for a healthier rhythm, I think this episode will encourage you deeply. Praying this conversation helps you release striving and receive the steady, sustaining presence of the Lord in your work.

What does it take to build a global design firm from scratch and then walk away from it at the top of your game? Mia Feasey did exactly that. She launched her international design business at just 24 years old, scaled it across borders, and made the bold decision to exit at 45, not because she had to, but because she chose to. In this episode, Christina's special guest Mia gets refreshingly real about what it actually took: the risks she took before she felt ready, the moments she almost played it safe, and why authenticity became her most powerful business strategy. If you've ever wondered what's waiting for you on the other side of a big leap, or if you're quietly dreaming of your own next chapter, this conversation will light a fire under you. About Mia Mia Feasey is the founder of Siren Design Group, a global design consultancy she built from a single Sydney studio into an international powerhouse with clients like Amazon, Google, Chanel, and Balenciaga. Guided by a people-first philosophy and a refusal to fear failure, she grew the firm over 20 years before making the bold decision to hand over the reins and walk away. Now based in Queenstown, New Zealand, Mia is channeling the same creativity and courage that built her business into redesigning her life — slowing down, reconnecting with her family, and figuring out what truly makes her heart sing.

The space has matured, buyers are more discerning, there's more noise, and people are taking longer to make decisions. That doesn't mean sales are impossible, it means your strategy has to evolve. In this episode, I introduce the concept of sales stamina: your ability to keep showing up, repeating your message, regulating your emotions when things feel quiet, and following up like a leader instead of hiding when results aren't instant. We talk about repetition without shame, emotional regulation when engagement dips, proactive follow-up instead of passive waiting, and staying loyal to your offer ecosystem instead of constantly reinventing it. If you've been ghosting your audience when things feel slow, or secretly hoping your offers will “just call people in,” this episode is your reset. Sales stamina will be your difference-maker in 2026. What You'll Learn in This Episode Why 2026 feels different (and what's actually shifting in buyer behaviour) What “sales stamina” means in practice How repetition builds trust in a noisy market Why emotional regulation is now a core sales skill The power of proactive follow-up and closing loops Why sticking to your ecosystem matters more than constantly launching new things "Sales stamina is the difference between the women who disappear when it's quiet and the women who grow anyway." If pricing has been the thing you constantly spiral over, the thing that makes you second-guess yourself, over-deliver, or quietly resent your work join my new pricing bootcamp, Rave Your Rates.

In this episode of The Real Women Real Business Podcast, Shauna Lynn Simon tackles a common pattern among high-achieving women entrepreneurs - spiraling when a client goes quiet. When uncertainty creeps in, the brain fills in the blanks, often with stories that trigger defensiveness, overexplaining, discounting, or avoiding follow-up altogether.Shauna Lynn breaks down a five-step reset framework designed to interrupt the spiral and replace emotional assumptions with clean leadership. She explains why silence is not feedback, how to separate fact from narrative, and why following up is not needy - it is responsible business ownership. The episode also outlines a practical follow-up cadence you can implement immediately to prevent lost revenue and protect your momentum.Listeners will walk away with a structured process for regulating emotions, choosing useful assumptions, and communicating clearly without defensiveness. If you have ever hesitated to follow up because of the story you were telling yourself, this episode will give you a calmer and more strategic way forward.Timestamps:(00:01) - (06:30) - Why high achievers spiral when clients go quiet(06:31) - (11:17) - The five step reset framework to stop emotional storytelling(11:18) - (18:25) - Building a clean follow up process that prevents lost revenue(18:26) - (23:03) - Sample follow up scripts and tone adjustments(23:04) - (27:47) - Reframing common triggers and responding without defensiveness(27:48) - (30:01) - Leadership, curiosity, and choosing calm over assumption Resources:Book Your FREE Coaching Assessment Call with Shauna Lynn: https://www.aboutshaunalynn.com/coachmeLearn more about the show: AboutShaunaLynn.com/podcastConnect with Shauna Lynn on Instagram: @shaunalynnsimon

In this episode, Jessica Fearnley and I talk about what it truly takes to structure a high-value $100K consulting offer for corporate clients, without overcomplicating your services or building a massive team or charging an hourly rate.But this conversation goes beyond pricing.We talk about what happens after you leave corporate, recover from burnout, and rebuild your confidence. We unpack the emotional and strategic transition many experienced women consultants face when they hit six figures and begin asking what's next.Jessica shares how she moved from project management into building a multi-six-figure B2B consulting business rooted in high-value advisory retainers. We explore:What a $100K advisory retainer actually includesHow to package your consulting services inside the budgets corporate already invests inWhy trying to “educate” buyers slows down the saleThe recovery phase after corporate trauma, and why many women underprice themselves during itHow to position yourself as a trusted strategic advisor instead of a service providerWhy “the more they pay, the less they get” can be true at premium levelsIf you want to move from hourly work or project-based consulting into high-value B2B advisory retainers, this episode gives you both the strategic framework and the mindset shift required to do it.This is about packaging expertise, reclaiming authority, and building a consulting business that aligns with your life, not just your revenue goals.Chapters:00:56

Most agents think their income is unpredictable.But what if I told you… your calendar already tells the truth about your business?In this episode, I break down a concept that completely changed the way I look atgrowth, structure, and leadership:Your calendar isn't your schedule , it's your business model.After posting a reel about this, my DMs blew up… so I decided to go deeper and unpack why your daily structure predicts your revenue, your stress level, and even your long-term success.If you feel like you're working hard but still riding the roller coaster of inconsistent income… this conversation is going to hit differently.I'm not here to give you another “time blocking hack.”I'm showing you how Agent CEOs actually design their week so revenue becomes predictable, without burnout.Because your goals don't determine your results…Your calendar does.Things I Cover In This EpisodeWhy your calendar is the most honest reflection of your businessHow I can predict income just by looking at someone's scheduleThe difference between reactive calendars vs Agent CEO calendarsWhy inconsistent structure creates inconsistent commissionsRevenue blocks, thinking time, and build time (and why they matter)The real reason time blocking fails for most agentsCalendar boundaries and how they protect your incomeChecklist vs time-blocking systems (for agents who hate rigid schedules)How to create a predictable weekly operating rhythmThe shift from hustle-based schedules → structure-based growthIf this episode made you look at your calendar differently:✔️ Subscribe so you don't miss future Play Bigger episodes✔️ Drop a comment: What's ONE block missing from your calendar right now? ✔️ Share this episode with an agent who feels stuck in reactive mode---
In this week’s episode, I continue my four-part series on the core pillars of success for women in business. This week I’m focusing on mindset. Mindset isn’t about fixing yourself or forcing positivity. It’s about how you navigate your inner world when things wobble…. because they will! Especially when you’re holding a lot. I explore why mindset work is particularly critical for women, the subtle ways self-doubt shows up at leadership level, and how seemingly harmless thoughts can quietly stall momentum if left unchecked. We talk about the difference between a normal mindset dip and a full-blown spiral, why resistance often appears right before growth, and how resilience is the real skillset founders need to cultivate. I also share practical reflections on rest, boundaries, self-coaching, and why fun and pleasure are often the missing strategic levers in high-performing women’s lives.

Today on the Dream Makers Podcast I'm sitting down with Karli Whitwell - and we are going deep into identity, manifestation, self-trust and what actually happens when you hit the edge of your comfort zone.Because here's the truth - most people don't fail... they just tap out the moment it gets uncomfortable.In this conversation we talk about:- Identity stabilisation and why you keep snapping back to the old version of you- Manifestation beyond the fluffy stuff — becoming the person who can actually hold the result- The tap out vs lean in moment (this is EVERYTHING)- Nervous system regulation for entrepreneurs and creatives- Self-trust in business and how you slowly erode it without realising- Money mindset, money identity and the relationship you truly have with income- Why discomfort doesn't mean you're unsafe - it means you're expandingThis episode is for women, creatives, entrepreneurs - Dream Makers building something real.The coach.The artist.The business owner.The mama with a vision in her chest.The creative who knows they're meant for more.We talk about staying.Staying when it's quiet.Staying when it's wobbly.Staying when it would be easier to pivot, quit or make it mean something about you.Because your vision isn't a cute idea.It's a commitment.And the micro-moment where you choose not to tap out?That's the quantum leap.We also speak about my upcoming book Let Your Vision Be Bigger Than Your Bullsh*t (at the time of recording we're just days away from celebrating the launch
This week, Elizabeth sits down with Chelsea Parke Kramer, founder of Parke, the effortlessly cool denim and elevated basics brand you've likely seen all over your feed. Chelsea shares how a chance discovery of vintage Levi's at a Miami farmers market became the spark for Parke, and how reworked men's jeans grew into a fast-moving, community-driven fashion brand. They dive into what it really looks like to build community both online and in real life, from TikTok storytelling to IRL pop-ups and meetups. Chelsea opens up about trusting your gut as a young founder, growing from a scrappy startup to a 20-person team, and the systems and support that made scaling possible. She also talks about how her background as a college athlete shapes her discipline today, and why movement is a non-negotiable for staying grounded through the highs and lows of entrepreneurship. If you're building something, or thinking about taking that first scary step, this conversation will leave you feeling inspired and a little braver.

Most agents aren't stuck because they don't know what to do.They're stuck because they never install what they already know.In this episode, I'm breaking down one of the biggest bottlenecks I see with real estate agents and entrepreneurs today: staying in learning mode instead of moving into build mode.Learning feels safe.Learning feels productive.But learning without installation doesn't change your business.If you've ever found yourself consuming content, saving posts, buying courses, attending trainings… yet still dealing with the same chaos, income swings, and pressure, this conversation is for you.I'm not here to shame you or tell you to “try harder.”I want to show you what's actually happening structurally and how to fix it.Because growth doesn't come from more information.It comes from installed behavior.
2B Bolder Podcast : Career Insights for the Next Generation of Women in Business & Tech
Want a masterclass in credibility, change communications, and career resilience without the fluff? I had the opportunity to sit down with senior communications leader Elaina Dulaney to unpack how strategic storytelling, trusted relationships, and a servant leadership mindset can carry you from small software gigs to agency depth and into the halls of Big Tech on episode #152 of the 2B Bolder podcast. Elaina shares the early principle that shaped her career arc, build experience before kids to create future choice, and the unexpected phone call that turned into an agency, Microsoft work, and eventually a corporate leadership role right before the world shifted.She and I get candid about today's market: how budgets are tighter, rates are pressured, and job boards can feel like a black hole. Elaina breaks down a practical system for job seekers, 10% applications, 25–30% AI upskilling, 25–30% brand building, and the rest on targeted networking, plus the one constant that still moves mountains: relationships. We talk through “overqualified” bias, why great managers hire strategic doers, and how to spot roles where scope expands but recognition lags. You'll hear real tactics to surface referrals, maintain momentum, and protect your mindset when you face rejections, even though you are quite capable of the role.For leaders, we dig into the communication blind spots that quietly sink trust: last-minute reviews, skipped rehearsals, and messages that forget the audience. Elaina outlines a change comms playbook built on consistency across stakeholders, durable truth, and live Q&A that shows transparency under pressure. And because AI is changing the craft, we frame it as a copilot, not the pilot, so strategy, ethics, and empathy stay human. We also explore executive presence on LinkedIn, balancing authenticity with professionalism without slipping into performative posts.If you're building a career in communications, marketing, or tech, or you lead teams through complexity, you'll leave with a sharper toolkit and renewed conviction that reputation and community are your edge. If this conversation sparks ideas or you want more on these topics, connect with us on LinkedIn, share the episode with a friend, and leave a quick review so we can keep the conversations you care about coming.Tune in as Mary and Elaina talk openly about today's job market and share how they both face it with grace and optimism.

In this solo episode, Christina Lecuyer opens up about the internal tension so many of us feel but rarely name. The pull between the driven high achieving version of ourselves and the compassionate side that wants more ease, clarity, and alignment.Drawing from both personal experience and what she sees with clients, Christina dives into the patterns that quietly shape our lives. The stories we repeat. The habits we defend. The identities we hold onto even when they are no longer serving us. She shares why real change requires more than motivation and why taking full responsibility for your life can be both confronting and incredibly freeing.She also speaks candidly about the current state of social media, the rapid rise of AI, and why authenticity and genuine human connection matter now more than ever.If you have been feeling stuck, ready for a shift, or questioning the version of yourself you are living from, this episode will challenge your thinking and invite you into a deeper level of self leadership.If you enjoyed this episode, make sure and give us a five star rating and leave us a comment on iTunes, Podcast Addict, Podchaser and Castbox about what you'd like us to talk about that will help you realize that at any moment, any day, you too can decide, it's your turn!

In this popular episode of How to Run a Successful Business and Still Have a Life, Stacey dives into one of her favourite topics: creating a powerful vision for your business. Building on last week’s episode about discovering your why, this conversation explores how a clear vision can guide your company, inspire your team, and create meaningful impact in your community. Stacey walks through the essential questions every business owner should ask when crafting a vision statement — including what inspired the business, who it serves, what makes it special, and the long-term difference it aims to make. She also breaks down her simple five-step structure for writing a strong and effective vision:Who is doing it? What are they doing? Who are they doing it for? How are they doing it? And what is the ultimate impact? Using her own business, Port Macquarie Performing Arts, as an example, Stacey demonstrates how a vision goes far beyond what you do — it communicates the transformation you create and how you want your customers to feel long after they’ve worked with you. Listeners are encouraged to reflect, write, and refine their own business vision using Stacey’s downloadable worksheet. This episode is a must-listen for anyone wanting clarity, purpose, and direction in their business.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Moms, Markets, And MeaningWhat if the real growth move isn't more hustle, but better alignment? Kelly sits down with Melissa McGath—designer turned agency owner—to unpack how she built Voom Creative from a rushed brand contract into a focused, faith-forward branding and marketing studio. Entrepreneurship came first, motherhood followed, and the two have been in conversation ever since. Melissa shares the early days of hiring out of necessity, why strategy must lead design, and how niching by service (and eventually by faith) helped her find clients who felt like partners instead of friction.The most surprising lever in her journey might be the simplest: a protected Friday. By guarding one day each week for presence at home, she discovered that boundaries sharpen business. With a team she trusts, a morning routine that fills her cup, and no-meeting Mondays for deep work, Melissa shows how systems create space for creativity and calm. We get candid about the messy parts too—school calendars gone sideways, the art of delegating at home, and the moment she nearly walked away before prayer redirected her to realign rather than quit.We also dig into partnership lessons, values fit, and the courage it takes to do scary things: hiring your first employee, changing your positioning, and saying no to misaligned work. Melissa is writing a book for mompreneurs to demystify the practicals—hiring, payroll, advisors, process mapping—while honoring the reality of family life. If you're a founder, a mom, or both, you'll walk away with clear steps to buy back your time, build a brand with a backbone, and choose a pace that sustains your purpose.If this conversation sparked something, follow the show, share it with a friend who's building while raising kids, and leave a review to help more listeners find us.Connect with Melissa:LinkedIn: Melissa McGathEmail: melissa@voomcreative.comContact the Host, Kelly Kirk: Email: info.ryh7@gmail.com Get Connected/Follow: The Hue Drop Newsletter: Subscribe Here IG: @ryh_pod & @thekelly.tanke.kirk Facebook: Reclaiming Your Hue Facebook Page CAKES Affiliate Link: KELLYKIRK Credits: Editor: Joseph Kirk Music: Kristofer Tanke Thanks for listening & cheers to Reclaiming Your Hue!
In this episode, I'm sharing how I think about value now, after years of refining my own pricing and helping dozens of people refine theirs. For a long time, many of us were taught to measure our work in hours and deliverables. But when I zoomed out, I realised my clients weren't paying for time. They were paying for what changed because of the work, what became easier, what started earning, what stopped feeling heavy. When your pricing doesn't reflect that wider impact, it creates pressure. You either feel underpaid or you overextend yourself trying to prove your fee.I walk you through the framework I created to solve this — TESSA. It's the system I've used for the last four years to help service providers stop guessing their rates and start pricing in a way that feels grounded and strategic.We look at Time, Energy, Skills, Specialism and Asset value, the five layers that exist in your work whether you're acknowledging them or not. When you price across all five, the numbers begin to make sense.If pricing has felt like the piece of your business that keeps wobbling, I recorded this for you. I want you to feel proud when you say your price. I want your business to feel expansive rather than draining. And I want you to have a structure that supports you long-term, rather than changing your rates every few months because you're unsure.What You'll Learn in This EpisodeWhy pricing based purely on hours keeps you cappedHow clients actually experience valueThe link between undercharging and burnoutWhat I mean by “high energy tax”How your experience and training should shape your pricingWhy specialism increases your perceived valueWhen asset value and ROI should be factored inThe 5-part TESSA framework and how to apply it“When you only price on time, you either undercharge for the depth of your expertise or you overwork to justify the price.”If pricing has been the thing you constantly spiral over, the thing that makes you second-guess yourself, over-deliver, or quietly resent your work join my new pricing bootcamp, Rave Your Rates.
