LITerally – Details, episodes & analysis

This session is such a good example of how easy it is to get pulled toward the wrong focus in business. 

Sari and I talk about messaging, sales pages, social growth, and the reality that progress often shows up in ways we're quick to dismiss. From hooks and ManyChat testing to the psychology of validation and momentum, this episode is about staying grounded in what actually works instead of overcomplicating the process.

In this episode, you'll hear:

• Why sales pages need to sell, not just inform

• How to speak to pain points without "preying" on them

• Why gaining 200–300 followers a week is actually a huge deal

• How to test whether tools like ManyChat are still worth using

• Why breaking social into smaller pieces can make content creation easier

• How to approach hooks without overthinking them

In this solo episode, I break down why social might feel heavier right now and more importantly, how to respond. We have to be willing to treat social like a skill we can actually master instead of a mystery you're either "good at" or not. This is about getting intentional so social feels easier, not because it doesn't take effort but because the effort actually pays off. 

In this episode, you'll hear:

• How this impacts you no matter your stage of business

• My own experience with social feeling "harder" and what that's looked like for me

• The thing that makes content creation dramatically easier

• Why focusing on the right metrics changes everything

• What happens when you actually study your best-performing content

• Something you already have that will make your growth so much faster

A thread we keep coming back to this season is container setting. Meaning, how we design our offers, how we know if it's working, how we support results, and how we make sure the experience feels good for the client and the coach. In this solo episode, I'm pulling all of those conversations together and going deeper into what actually creates strong client results without burning yourself out in the process.

This episode is about holding the both/and of results and boundaries, responsibility and relationship, support and simplicity. Because the best containers get results, and they also get you the life and business you desire.  

In this episode, you'll hear:

• Why container setting is foundational to client results

• The thing that will do MOST of the heavy lifting in your programs (if you let it)

• What client responsibility really means and how we need to define it

• What holding your own self boundaries actually looks like in practice

• The most essential element for a great client experiences

• How to create feedback loops that build trust instead of spirals

In Session 2 with Robyn, we start with leaning into pricing and strategy and end up going WAY deeper into the new identity that's emerging for Robyn and the importance of centering yourself in your own life and business more. We talk about 'look at me marketing', the patriarchy & systems that impact how we show up, and the identity shift Robyn is experiencing as she comes back to herself after pregnancy, grief, and loss. 

In this episode, you'll hear:

• The things that actually communicate who your program is for (outside of just what you're saying about it)

• The good/bad that comes with hearing "This is so much more valuable than I thought!"

• What truly makes someone compelling

• The problem with the "I'll just go show them" mentality we can get stuck in (and that I often find myself stuck in too!)

• A look at the systems that influence how we engage with life and our businesses 

• The importance of "centering" yourself and how Robyn is entering a new era around this concept

In Session 1 with Robyn, we get to know her and her business and discuss how it can be quite scary to scale a good thing. Robyn's plans for her business have changed quite a bit in recent months and she's looking at re-working and re-defining what's there (even though, in many ways, she loves it as is). We dive into her current offers, what motivates her, and the fears that come with change. 

In this episode, you'll hear:

• Why it can be really scary to scale what's already working well 

• The thing Robyn shares that MOST of the online space would label as a block, and why I feel differently 

• Permission to prioritize your lifestyle over massive numbers (and what that looks like)

• How a boring business can be the best thing for you

• The fears around fractured audience trust that can come with big change 

• How control shows up in our business (especially after traumatic experiences)

In this Intro to Season 9, we kick off with a get-to-know-you session with our new coachee, Robyn Gooding! It's such a fun conversation that takes you deep on Robyn's story and gives you context around who she is, what both of her businesses are, what her life is like as a mama (whose husband travels for work), and what she's most excited and freaked out about when it comes to being on the podcast. 

In this episode, you'll hear:

• Robyn's super interesting back story and how coaching "chose her"

• Why Robyn wanted to work together and what made her say 'yes' to the podcast 

• My perspective on why I knew Robyn was the perfect person for Season 9 

• How the thing Robyn is most excited for is also the thing she's most scared of 

• The big life shifts and challenges Robyn has recently faced and how that changed her perspective on showing up here so vulnerably

In this final episode with Angie, we're wrapping up Season 8 and going fully off of our normal wrap up questions! Typically, I ask specific Q's about someone's time on the podcast and that was… not at all what we did this episode. We had an incredible convo on the challenges of being a working mom, what accountability means, what really creates sustainable growth in business, and the huge year Angie has had. It is such a juicy convo (that I cannot wait for you to hear), and the best way we could have wrapped this season. 

In this episode, you'll hear:

• Our take on the challenges working mothers face

• Angie's truth (that she knows she'll be judged for) around how she feels as a working mom

• A personal share about something my therapist reminded me of recently 

• Angie's funny (but deeply important and telling) share that she surprises me with 

• Angie's revelations around accountability and sustainable growth

• A reflection on Angie's year and what it means to honor and acknowledge the tough seasons

In our FINAL session with Angie (Session 18), we discuss her perspective on accountability after having all of her sessions recorded and what it did (and didn't) do for her. We also review her Toggl report, talk about if she's truly one of those people who are "busy but don't work" and look at what CEO shifts she can make to be able to both run AND grow the business without burning out. 

In this episode, you'll hear:

• What I actually think about external accountability (this will probably surprise you)

• The realizations Angie had from tracking her time for a week

• The reality of being a busy CEO and running a business that doesn't get talked about enough

• The important consideration we must make before we say 'yes' to something new

• The challenge of both running AND growing a business (and how to navigate it)

• The check in we end with that is the question most of us need to ask ourselves (and won't always give ourselves permission for)

In Session 17 with Angie, we discuss how she's feeling as she expands support into more areas of her business. We also discuss her fear of being busy but not working, and the real challenges of being a single working mom and Black Woman. Finally, we dive into what it means to redefine some of her values that aren't fully serving her, and the practical shift she can start leaning into around that.

In this episode, you'll hear:

• What it looks like as Angie's support expands to other areas of the business (and the good and bad of that)

• The systemic challenges of being a working mom and a Black Woman 

• Angie's biggest fear (that she's worried she's fallen into)

• How to know when it's time to redefine our values

• One of the best practical tips for ditching the overwhelm and moving forward

In Session 16 with Angie, we have an episode that's quite different than normal. We recorded about 10 minutes of our session and then called the rest off so Angie could rest. I jump in with some thoughts in the second half and we dive into what it means to choose yourself and what it means as a coach to name what you're seeing. 

In this episode, you'll hear:

• How Angie is still feeling busy despite some changes and what might be driving that

• The balance of getting big life admin taken care of while also not staying perpetually busy

• How important it is to use spaces that are just for you…FOR you.

• The thing I tell my coaching clients when we start working together 

• Permission to say the thing as a coach (and what that looks like)
