Powerback 147: Permission to have fun Feb 10, 2023

Show notes

When was the last time that you truly allowed yourself to have fun?
The type of fun that actually fuels your soul without reason, without overthinking, without obligation, and without holding back a part of yourself?
This week’s Powerback® episode is about giving you the permission that you don't need but might still need to hear. Because, at the end of the day, the only thing and person stopping you from truly doing things that bring you a lot of joy and fun in your life is you.
So, we’re going to work through:

How I said YES to myself and went on a solo trip to Miami
What's happening in your brain that’s stopping you from having fun
A simple way to start having the fun you want
One challenge to get your Powerback® and be happier

147: Transform your website into a goldmine with Ari Krzyzek Feb 07, 2023

Show notes

Do you have a website that isn’t converting? In other words, people are clicking on your site but aren’t booking the call, purchasing the product, or joining the program? Websites are complex machines that require strategy, clarity, and purpose – if it’s confusing, people bounce.
If you want to turn your website into a functioning goldmine that turns visitors into paying customers, then today’s episode with branding and website specialist Ari Krzyzek is for you!
In this episode, you’ll learn:

The times when having a website is not the best idea
The formula for how to lay out your homepage
The website is not for you, it’s for your target audience
The importance of mapping out your website and user journey
Some reasons why your website may not be converting
Building and managing it yourself OR hiring a professional?
Think beyond just the people who buy from you
Analytics is how you’ll know if your website is serving its purpose
How to select the right platform for your business

Co-founder and chief creative officer of Chykalophia (read: see-ka-lo-fia), Ari Krzyzek helps FemTech, DTC, and women-led brands transform their website into a platform that unlocks business opportunities.
Resources from this episode
Map out your site and leverage the way users are interacting with it to better guide them through the steps you want them to take on their user journey by using this SaaS application on the web: FlowMapp.
Ari is launching a book in September about building a website in the right way and she is giving five copies to the Gutsy Tribe. So, if you want one of the copies, connect with Ari on LinkedIn and she will send it over to you in September.

146: How to Monetize Your Podcast with Anne Claessen Jan 31, 2023

Show notes

One of the biggest questions I get when I tell people I run a podcast is… how do you get paid? Monetizing a podcast can feel daunting, especially if you don’t want to turn your show into one big ad and fear that you don’t have enough downloads to justify getting paid.
I’m chatting with Podcast Monetizing expert Anne Claessen on how to monetize your podcast – so if you have a show or are thinking about launching one – today’s episode is for you!
In this episode, you’ll learn:

How Anne followed her gut, took a risk, and now does what she loves
What it takes to continue podcasting past the first 7 episodes
Practical ways to monetize your small podcast audience
It’s your podcast, you get to do what you want with it
Best practices for the 3 different types of podcast ads
Tips to promote your own services or products in your podcast
Sponsorships, their benefits for everyone, and how to navigate them
How to grow your podcast exponentially

After finishing her Law Degree and MBA in 2018, Anne knew that she didn’t want to spend 80 hours working a corporate job. So, she left her home country, backpacked South East Asia, and worked a handful of crappy jobs in Australia and knew there had to be a way to travel and make money. She now runs The Podcast Babes, helping podcasters use their podcast strategically, make passive income, and increase their impact, all while traveling the world, working from her laptop.

Powerback 145: Learn how to trust yourself Jan 26, 2023

Show notes

One of the top reasons I see women not going after the things that they truly want is because they don't trust themselves.
They don't trust the gut feeling they have. They don't trust the desires that show up in their lives. They don’t trust their abilities to make decisions. They don’t trust the tugs that tell them to do things in a different way be it in their life or business.
If any of this sounds familiar, then today’s Powerback® episode is definitely for you because I’m going to help you learn how to trust yourself.
I’m going to walk you through:

The power of trusting yourself
A very simple way to start recognizing what your body is saying
The 3 steps to exercise your trust in yourself
