Earn Your Happy

Are you chasing a bigger, more successful life because it's what you REALLY want, or because it's what you think you're supposed to want? In this throwback He Said She Said episode, Chris and I are pulling back the curtain on the conversations we've had about selling everything, retiring early, and walking away from the pressure of building businesses and personal brands. We're sharing why we've realized that a simpler life isn't necessarily a happier life for us, how I spent years feeling guilty for wanting more, and the surprising realization I had after taking a month-long vacation in Europe. Plus, Chris shares a powerful exercise to help you get crystal clear on what you actually want, whether that's building a multimillion-dollar business or creating a slower, simpler life. If you've ever questioned whether all your hard work is worth it, felt guilty about your ambition, or wondered if you're chasing the wrong version of success, this conversation will help you stop comparing your dreams to everyone else's and start building a life that genuinely fulfills YOU.

You guys, I am SO excited to pull back the curtain on one of the most overlooked ways to grow your business and make more money! In this special episode, I’m sharing an interview I did with my friend and business partner Natalie Ellis on the Bossbabe podcast about how you can make $25K, $50K, and even $100K from ONE podcast interview. Plus, exactly what they did differently to turn those conversations into paying clients. Natalie and I break down what podcast hosts are actually looking for, the pitching mistakes that get you rejected in seconds, and how to position yourself as the expert everyone wants to book, even if you don't have a huge following. Listen in for my Million Dollar Guest framework for creating unforgettable interviews, building instant credibility, and turning someone else's audience into your next customers.
