You can't out think burnout

Épisode 5

lundi 22 septembre 2025 • Durée 29:59

I pressed pause on the “scheduled” episode to unpack the real reason I enrolled in yoga teacher training while running SSN, advising execs, and raising two kids. Spoiler: I couldn’t out-think my way out of burnout. I had to re-learn how to feel. In this bonus, I connect the dots between newsroom conditioning, disembodiment, and the strategic clarity that arrived the minute I got back in my body. Less grind. More presence. Better decisions. More money. Better sleep. Yes, really.

What you’ll learn:
  • The link between disembodiment and reactive, unsustainable strategy
  • How “thinking about how you feel” is a red flag (and what to do instead)
  • Why yoga teacher training became a leadership tool—not a fitness goal
  • The six-month stillness that changed my business model and my stress baseline
  • Practical reflection prompts to lead from presence instead of pressure

Map Your Urgency, Fix Your Sales

Saison 1 · Épisode 4

lundi 15 septembre 2025 • Durée 27:12

In this solo episode, I unpack the Urgency Spectrum—high, moderate, and low—and why your content and cadence must match where a buyer actually is right now. You’ll learn how to stop pouring energy into convincing, how to move from funnel thinking to an orbital sales model, and how your solar plexus (confidence, personal power) influences both your message and your revenue. I share hard-won lessons from our multi-six-figure production company and why a six-figure sale won’t save your cash flow if it takes nine months to land. We get practical about mapping high-urgency buyers for cash flow, nurturing long-tail buyers without burning out, and building a communications rhythm that respects seasonality and movement in your market.

What You’ll Learn
  • How to spot high, moderate, and low urgency (and why each needs a different cadence)
  • The orbit model vs. funnels—and why pipeline near the “bottom” can still evaporate
  • How to stack sales cycles so cash flow doesn’t die while big deals mature
  • Why your message stays the same while buyers move closer to you
  • The somatic side: strengthening your solar plexus so you stop chasing and convincing
  • Practical ways to nurture Pluto without spending Mercury energy
  • Why a six-figure sale won’t fix a short-term cash crunch if the cycle is too long
  • The #1 energetic tell you’re marketing from convincing (and what to do instead)

Who really needs you right now?

Saison 1 · Épisode 3

jeudi 11 septembre 2025 • Durée 27:05

In this episode, I’m cutting straight to the jugular: audience precision. I walk you through how “reach” without resonance wastes time, money, and momentum — and why the real move is choosing the one group that needs you right now. We’ll dismantle the “myth of everyone,” recalibrate how you position yourself in the present (no future-self cosplay), and then, yes, we’re going there — to your throat chakra. Because when you try to say it all at once, your voice gets tight, your copy bloats, and your sales stall. 

What you’ll learn:
  • Why “reach” without resonance is an expensive vanity metric
  • The “myth of everyone” and how it dilutes clarity and cashflow
  • How to choose one “right-now” audience (without forever niching)
  • The teacher test: are you speaking like K-12 or Calculus 401?
  • How precision creates momentum (hello, arrow vs. Super Soaker analogy)
  • Embodied comms: what a tight or overactive throat is trying to tell you
  • Simple somatic care for your voice (castor-oil wrap FTW)
  • Three journaling prompts to set your message on rails today

Why 'just show up' isn't working

Saison 1 · Épisode 2

mercredi 10 septembre 2025 • Durée 22:25

If “be consistent and just show up” has ever made you feel like a failure—or a content robot—this one’s for you. I’m pulling the plug on the consistency myth and replacing it with a framework that actually moves your message forward.

What you’ll learn:
  • How to spot the consistency trap (and why “just show up” isn’t a strategy)
  • The Four Verbs framework: Clarify → Realign → (stop mindless) React → Reset
  • The difference between commitment and consistency (and why one unlocks the other)
  • A simple test to see if you’re reacting to algorithms/expectations instead of leading your narrative
  • Where this shows up in your body: the sacral chakra and the joy/pep-in-your-step check
  • Why batching is brilliant only after you’re clear and aligned
  • A compassionate path to get back on track without shaming yourself

Why your message feels scattered

Saison 1 · Épisode 1

mercredi 10 septembre 2025 • Durée 22:00

Let me be blunt: your message doesn’t feel scattered because you need more content. It feels scattered because it isn’t grounded. Today, I’m spilling the tea on the five friction points that make smart leaders sound fuzzy—and how to reset your message at the root so it finally lands.

What you’ll learn:
  • Why “more content” multiplies confusion when your foundation is shaky
  • The 5 friction points: Alignment, Audience, Confidence, Focus, Control
  • How to spot “polished but hollow” messaging (and fix it)
  • Why “everyone” is not your audience (and how to pick who’s first)
  • The sneaky confidence trap when you don’t fully believe your own story
  • Dilution vs. discipline: pulling one clear thread across channels
  • Regaining narrative control when your story changes with the room
  • The Root Center connection: grounding your message in safety and truth
Mentioned in this episode (no sponsors, just useful bits):
  • The Messaging Friction Audit (framework): Alignment, Audience, Confidence, Focus, Control
  • Root Center basics: grounding safety, worth, and message stability

Welcome to The Narrative Advantage

Saison 1

mercredi 10 septembre 2025 • Durée 19:15

Welcome to The Narrative Advantage — the place where we ditch quick-fix marketing formulas and build messages that actually move people to act. In this kickoff, I’m spilling the tea on why I’m relaunching this show now, how my 20+ years in journalism and brand storytelling collide with somatics, and what you can expect over the next few bingeable episodes.

I share my path from teen radio host to creator-era business owner to building Story Studio Network — and why I’m bringing it all back to narrative, resonance, and being complete in a noisy, AI-saturated world.

What you’ll learn:
  • Why “complete leadership” (strategy + somatics) is your unfair advantage
  • The difference between message friction vs. content problems
  • How I scaled Story Studio Network by applying a newsroom narrative arc
  • Why foundations outlast tactics (RIP, 2022 SEO playbooks)
  • The core promise of this show: clarity, resonance, repeatable frameworks
  • What’s coming next: diagnosing friction, making sales with story, and building momentum engines

Stop Pumping Out 100 AI Clips (Do This Instead) - Transmission Series Day 20

Épisode 27

lundi 20 octobre 2025 • Durée 28:18

You've seen the pitch: "Sit down for an hour, answer questions, and we'll pump out 100 pieces of content for you." It doesn't work. And I'm going to tell you why. I spent 20 years as a broadcast journalist. I now run Story Studio Network. I know what compelling content looks like. The problem with "100 clips from 1 hour": There's no intentionality. You're creating NOISE, not communication. The intentionality is in sitting down for the hour. But you lose connection with the 75 pieces of output because you're outsourcing that to AI or a VA. You're not thinking about what each piece is trying to communicate. You're just... filling channels. The newsroom approach is the opposite: Intentionality in EVERY piece. Not just the input—the output. Because newsrooms don't create one story and chop it 100 ways. They create multiple distinct stories, each with purpose. What this episode covers:
  • Why role-based processes beat content-based processes
  • The 4 problems killing your corporate comms
  • The 5 newsroom roles you need (Assignment Editor, Reporter, Producer, Anchor, Director)
  • Why your CEO should be the anchor, not the entire newsroom
  • How Story Studio Network runs the same process for every project
  • The "say it three ways" technique (better than 100 AI clips)
The shift: Stop asking your CEO to sit for an hour and blather. Start building a TEAM with clear roles who create intentional content. That's how you build real thought leadership.

How I Sold My Blog for Six Figures (The Process No One Tells You) - Transmission Series Day 19

Épisode 26

dimanche 19 octobre 2025 • Durée 29:12

In 2021, I sold my lifestyle blog for six figures USD. But nobody talks about the actual PROCESS. The timeline. The mistakes. The things that almost killed the deal. Today I'm walking you through exactly how it happened—from start to finish. What we cover:
  • What I was actually selling (multi-six figures revenue, 200K-300K monthly page views, 10K+ email list)
  • Multiple income streams: display ads ($5K/month passive), sponsored content, affiliate marketing, brand consulting
  • What made it sellable vs. what made it complicated (personal brand trap)
  • Why I decided to sell (burnout + strategic timing + sensing AI was coming)
  • The 6-8 month process of "sanitizing" the website (removing myself and my kids from 800+ articles)
  • How website valuations work (multiples of MONTHLY profit, not annual)
  • Why I took it off the market (lowball offers)
  • The private sale to a US investment firm
  • The 16-month payment plan (lease-to-buy structure)
  • What I'd do completely differently now
  • The owner's trap: building a business too reliant on YOU
Key lesson: In 5 years, if someone said "I want to buy your business," could you hand them the keys? Or how hard would it be operationally?

Turning Vision into Revenue - Manifestation and 'runway' - Transmission Series Day 10

Épisode 18

vendredi 10 octobre 2025 • Durée 22:16

Manifestation is the blueprint; strategy is the bridge that makes it real. Erin shares two fresh proofs—a national Platinum award for an SSN show and a client case study—showing why validation arrives after you build the runway. Episode Summary
  • Why “instant results” are the exception—not the plan
  • How to turn felt value into language, systems, and a sales process that converts
  • The Bridge Framework: energy → language → systems → sales

How to Trust What’s Already in Motion - Transmission Series Day 9

Épisode 17

jeudi 9 octobre 2025 • Durée 17:39

Day nine of The Transmission Series lands in a tender, powerful place — the moment when faith becomes evidence. Erin shares how a new offer — The Embodied Visibility Lab — came into being not from strategy, but from deep surrender. After sending it to a handful of people, one person said yes. And instead of rushing to sell harder, Erin felt something deeper: proof that it’s already working. This episode is a love letter to that space between initiation and outcome — where clean energy, embodiment, and trust start to shape how business actually moves. In this episode:
  • The difference between launching and opening
  • What happens when you lead with devotion instead of demand
  • The moment your work begins to move through you
  • Navigating fear, visibility, and “selling” from an embodied state
  • The creation story behind The Embodied Visibility Lab
