131: No Bad Clients May 19, 2025

Show notes

We all have a mental checklist for what makes someone a “good client” vs. a “bad client.”

But what if… that binary doesn’t actually serve you — or them?

In this episode, Steph flips the script and invites you to consider a radical mindset shift: What if there are no bad clients — only clients being human?

From navigating disengaged clients to rethinking “neediness” and coaching boundaries, this episode is packed with reflections and tools to help you lead your clients with compassion and clarity.

If you’ve ever felt disrespected, drained, or unsure how to handle certain client behaviors — this one’s for you. Let’s trade resentment for real leadership.

129: Is Social Media Worth Your Time in 2025? May 06, 2025

Show notes

Is Instagram (or any platform, really) even worth it anymore?

If you’ve been pouring hours into social media only to be met with silence, this episode is the reframe you didn’t know you needed.

Steph dives deep into what’s really going on with social media in 2025 — and why declining engagement doesn’t mean your efforts are wasted. From personal revelations to client conversations, you'll learn why this might actually be the best time to recommit to your presence online — but with way better boundaries, purpose, and strategy.

Whether you’re feeling discouraged, burned out, or just confused about how to use social media today, Steph offers a refreshing take: your people are watching... even if they’re not “liking.”

In this episode, you’ll learn:

Why “no likes” ≠ “no impact”
How to reclaim your leadership online
The mindset shift Steph made that changed everything
What it means to show up for the lurkers
And how to stay consistent without being online 24/7

This one’s for the coaches, creatives, and service providers who know they have something to say — but need a new way to say it.

128 (with Claire Pells): Creating True Financial Safety as an Entrepreneur Apr 29, 2025

Show notes

What does real financial safety look like for entrepreneurs? Not just a healthy bank balance or a flashy revenue number—but actual peace of mind when it comes to your income, expenses, and future launches?

In this in-person episode, Steph sits down with longtime friend and fellow entrepreneur Claire Pells to break down the simple (yet wildly powerful) spreadsheet Claire swears by—and finally convinced Steph to implement in her business.

Together, they get real about:

Why retroactive P&Ls aren’t enough
How to project revenue, expenses, and profit—even if you hate spreadsheets
What happens when you plan for “good, better, best” outcomes
How to create true safety in your business… even if your next launch flops

If you’ve ever had that low-key financial panic—even when money is in the bank—this conversation will change how you run your business.

Show notes

If you’ve been in business long enough to have some real success — but also feel like things are starting to spiral out of control — this one’s for you.

In this episode, I’m getting real about what it feels like to be in the messy middle of entrepreneurship.

You’re not new anymore, and yet you still feel overwhelmed, like your to-do list is growing, your systems are duct-taped together, and you’re secretly waiting for the whole thing to fall apart.

Been there. In fact, I left my business in 2021 because of it.

Today I’m sharing the full story of what led me to quit, what I learned when I walked away, and why the answer isn’t getting off the roller coaster — it’s learning how to ride it.

Plus, I’ll share why support is the real game-changer, how my clients are finding peace even before their coaching officially begins, and how the Sold Out Group Programs Mastermind is designed to get you out of the messy middle — for good.
