191: Summer Lock-In: How to Have Strong Sales in June & July May 26, 2026

Show notes

Summer is not the time to take your foot off the gas. It just feels that way.

In this episode, Steph makes the case for why summer is actually one of the best times to sell, shares the mindset shift that turns "everyone's on vacation" into real opportunity, and gets personal about how she's structuring this summer to go after her million-dollar goal without losing herself in the process.

If you've ever talked yourself out of launching because the timing felt off, this one's for you.

190: "But I Feel Desperate!" How to Ditch Convincing Energy and Sell From Total Conviction Instead May 18, 2026

Show notes

So you find yourself over-explaining, over-answering, and just generally feeling like you're having to DRAG people toward a "yes" when you're selling. You're not alone, and Steph has a hot take you didn't see coming.

In this episode, Steph breaks down the convincing energy trap: what it actually means when you feel desperate or pushy in your sales, why pulling back even when you want to is almost never the right move, and the one mindset shift that changes everything.

You'll hear why questions and objections are actually signs of life, how to reframe even the toughest "I can't afford it" pushback, and the real reason your prospects aren't thinking big enough — and how that starts with you.

If you've ever talked yourself out of sending a follow-up, doing a personal reach-out, or making an invitation because it felt "too desperate", this episode is your permission slip to rethink that completely.

In this episode:

The difference between convincing and convicted — and how to move from one to the other
Why retreating from outreach is a thought error (and what to do instead)
How to reframe objections so you're playing a bigger game
The dinner party analogy that reframes personal invitations forever
Why clients who ask lots of questions often become your best ones

189: Iceberg Ideas: The Hidden Cost of "Quick" Projects May 12, 2026

Show notes

There's a sneaky new way entrepreneurs are avoiding the work that actually grows a business, and it feels incredibly productive while it's happening.

Steph calls it the iceberg idea trap, and AI is the latest and most seductive version of it. In this episode, she makes the case for minimum viable AI: how to use it as the tool it is without letting it become the thing you hide behind.

If you've been spending more time building systems than talking to potential clients, this one's going to hit home.

188: How I Signed 18 New Clients in One Launch (With Zero Re-signs and a Construction Zone for an Office) May 04, 2026

Show notes

In this episode, Steph walks you through the launch that changed how she thinks about what's possible, including why she scrapped her webinar for a five-day summit, the counterintuitive strategy that had people selling themselves, and the mindset work she credits more than any tactic.

She signed 18 brand-new clients with zero re-signs, a house mid-renovation, and a goal she's been almost too scared to say out loud.

If you've ever held back a big goal because you weren't sure you could pull it off, or you've been wondering whether it's the strategy or something deeper keeping you from your next level, this episode is going to hit close to home.

187: $8K for Weight Loss? How Dr. Priyanka Venugopal Charges Premium (Even in a Crowded Market) Apr 17, 2026

Show notes

Dr. Priyanka Venugopal (https://burnstressloseweight.com/) is an OB-GYN turned stress and weight loss coach helping overachieving professional women break the cycle of overthinking, emotional eating, and self-doubt.

If you've ever wondered how to make people feel the value of what you do before they've experienced it, this episode will show you exactly how.

186: Q2 Reset: Why You’re Not Behind & How to Hit Your Goals Apr 06, 2026

Show notes

Q1 didn't go as planned?

In this walk-and-talk episode, Steph makes the case that Q2 is the most overlooked quarter of the year — and the one with the most untapped potential. If you've been quietly counting yourself out, lowering your goals, or telling yourself summer is coming so why bother, this one's for you.

Steph breaks down why "behind" isn't real, what happens to your brain when you shrink your goals at the first sign of resistance, and why the move is never to lower the target.
