000 Welcome to Healing After the Hard Stuff12 Jan 202600:01:17

Welcome to Healing After the Hard Stuff.

This podcast is for the moments when life and business feel harder than you ever expected. Burnout. Grief. Loss. Identity shifts. The seasons where everything feels heavier, messier, and far from straightforward.

Here, I’m creating space for real, meaningful conversations about the parts of life we don’t often talk about openly. The moments that crack us open, change us, and ask us to find a different way forward. My hope is that these conversations help you feel less alone, while also giving you access to healing techniques and modalities that can genuinely make a difference.

You’ll hear honest stories, conversations with experts, and reflections on breathwork and nervous system regulation. I’ll also share from my own work as the founder of Influential Breathwork Academy, where I train people to use breath to support physical, emotional, mental and spiritual wellbeing.

If you’re finding your way through a difficult chapter, I hope this podcast offers something steady and supportive.

One breath at a time.

215 The Insights Your Marketing Data Hides with Natasha Vorompiova26 Jul 202100:22:35

213 Spirituality in Business with Dr. Erin Fall Haskell19 Jul 202100:24:33

210 What to Do When You Have Outgrown Friendships08 Jul 202100:13:59

209 Why Having a Specialism Matters with Rob Cohen05 Jul 202100:26:31

Today we're talking about finding ways to become a specialist in one unique area.  

I'm joined by Rob Cohen, who has a wealth of experience in the property market and property valuation, and is Managing Director of MJ Group International. We have just helped Rob to launch his new show, Property Valuation Podcast, which you can now find on Apple Podcasts. 

What You Will Learn In This Episode:

- What difference specialism makes in getting clients and having authority and credibility within a field

- The misconceptions people have when they jump into their business

- Why it is important to behave truthfully within your field by saying also what you can't do

- Questions to ask yourself to strengthen your personal brand

- Advice to people who are scared of narrowing down their niche

It doesn't matter what industry or job you are in, when you are offering something of value, you don't want to be in the middle, because anything in the middle is generic. It's everything to the sides that adds value, and that's where experts and specialists come in. A real specialist is super deep and super narrow in their field.

208 Why Consistency Matters01 Jul 202100:08:53

Today I want to talk to you about consistency in your business. Are you actually showing up as much as you think you are, or are you just paying lip service to believing that you're being consistent?

What You Will Learn In This Episode:

- Why not being consistent with creating long form content disservices you

- Do you have to be live on social media all of the time?

- Questions that can help you to step into consistency

- How to be ready for the days when you don't feel like doing a reel

- Different ways that you can commit to consistency on social media 

- How consistency helps you with algorithms on social media

It's not about being everywhere all the time, and feeling like your whole life is lived online. It's about strategically creating content so that you can have time off, but your brand is still building and your message is still going out there.

207 Facebook Strategies with Emma van Heusen28 Jun 202100:24:45

In this episode, we are getting to the details of why and how you should be using Facebook Ads in your business. This is an area that people are either absolutely nailing, or wasting a lot of time, effort, energy and cash.

The key benefit of using Facebook Ads is that you can make money while you sleep. But for lots of people they don't work instantly, because there's a lot of testing involved. Once you get past that and you understand what's working and what isn', you will be able to make data-driven decisions, and have a funnel that works on autopilot.

204 Why Podcast Guesting Works as an Effective Marketing Strategy17 Jun 202100:10:25

Today I talk about why podcast guesting is an effective marketing strategy, why you want to have it in your toolkit, and do it intentionally, deliberately and consistently. 

10 Reasons for Podcast Guesting:

 1. You are able to develop real in-person connections with the host

2. It gives you access to highly engaged audiences

3. You are opening cross-promotion opportunities in podcasting

4. It's much easier than guest blogging for building your SEO and your backlinks

5. You get high-value content produced by somebody else

6. You make the trust badges

7. Listeners can resonate with you 

8. You are able to get fresh leads through podcasts

9. You get increased reach through other people's audiences

10. With a podcast and podcast guest appearances you are creating create long term content that lasts for up to seven years

These are the reasons why we decided to develop The Podcast Booking Boutique inside The Podcast Agency. We've met great entrepreneurs wanting to get on more shows, but who don't have the time, or the knowledge or the connections to make that happen.

202 Responsibility to Get Louder10 Jun 202100:07:43

On this podcast, I talk all the time about getting visible. This time there's something even more important and pressing. It's come to my awareness that now, when the world has started to open up, many people are struggling with their mental well being.

Anxiety, panic disorder, negativity, depression, weight gain, body confidence, all of that stuff is rising in our teenagers, and it has been compounded through lockdown. The other thing I see in my parents’ generation, is how scared the older members of the family are, how down and depressed they are, and still fearful about going out. It concerns me that this is now running through the whole of our society.

I coach people how and why to become more visible to improve their businesses, but behind that is my desire to help people learn how to think differently, learn to get support when they need it, and learn to find the people out there that can help them.

If you are at a stage where you know that you can help people with anxiety, mental health, well being, helping them have better routines in their lives, better thought cleanliness in the way that they are behaving and thinking, I urge you to find the ways to get louder. Think about this as your responsibility, as your way to give back, and have much more impact.

If you've been thinking about this, there are two ways that you can have tremendous success in terms of that impact quickly - by launching your own podcast, or by being a guest to get in front of other people to get that message heard. 

We do both of those in The Podcast Agency. I invite you to find out about our production and launch packages and our Podcast Booking Boutique at https://thepodcastagency.com/.

Today, I will talk about whether or not you are choosing to enjoy your business and your life.
