#92: My Email List Shrank (Here's What I'm Doing About It)15 May 202600:16:15

In this episode I share something vulnerable: that my email list has not been growing. In fact, it has been shrinking. I'll walk you through exactly what has gone wrong and the strategy I'm using to turn it around.

I’m sharing the real numbers and feelings behind noticing that my list had shrunk, why it actually made sense after running a summit, and why unsubscribes are not always a problem to fix. 

But I’m also getting honest about where I hadn’t been paying enough attention, and the systems and strategies I’m putting in place now to grow my list in a way that leads to real sales, not just vanity metrics.

🎧 Tune in to hear:

  • Why my email list shrank, and the unsubscribe reality I accept
  • Why list growth can become a vanity metric if you’re not also looking at sales
  • Why I built an AI-powered dashboard to help me track list growth and unsubscribes
  • What to do after spikes to make list growth actually sticks

💭 [02:12] - "Whenever you do anything that brings in a nice chunk of people, you are always going to have a little bit of a increased exodus of some of those people afterwards. And it really is nothing to worry about."

💭 [07:09] -  "If I can't see it, I can't fix it. If I'm not seeing that things are shrinking, I can't do anything about it and be more intentional."

💭 [14:47] - "Don't spiral about people unsubscribing after an influx because it's normal, but build those systems systems in place. Put those welcome emails in place, put the right fit offers in place to help improve the chances of those people becoming clients over time."

#91: Difficult Clients, Refunds, and the Dark Side of Entrepreneurship - A Conversation with My Mastermind01 May 202600:58:38

It is very easy to feel alone when something goes wrong in your business - a refund request that feels personal, a client who turns on you, a payment that fails and goes quiet, or something bigger that knocks the wind out of you. But these things happen to all of us, and talking honestly about them is one of the most helpful things we can do.

This one is a Weird Hermits mastermind roundtable on the less glamorous side of running an online business. We get into the hardest client situations we have navigated, our different refund policies and the philosophies behind them, how we handle failed payments and payment plan ghosters, the contracts and terms that have saved us, and the mindset shifts that help us stay regulated when things go sideways.

With Kate Kordsmeier, Destini Copp, Jordan Gill, Faith Mariah, Liz Stapleton and Ruth Poundwhite.

🎧 Tune in to hear:

  • The hardest client situations each of us has navigated (including one that shocked us all to hear)
  • How each of us approaches refund policies, and why there is no one right answer
  • Payment plans, failed payments, and the conversation most people avoid
  • Why contracts, terms, and clear checkout language matter more than you think
  • Mindset shifts for the moments that feel huge but look smaller in hindsight

💭 [09:00] "Sometimes in the moment, these things are so huge and so difficult and we don't know how to deal with it, or how to take this what feels like an attack on us. And then it's no big deal when you look back. We can laugh about it. It's all part of the journey." - Ruth

💭 [41:06] "Sometimes giving refunds has been a way of closing things out that actually feels good. It doesn't always have to feel like your boundaries are being pushed over. It can feel like this is a relationship that needs to end." - Faith

💭 [43:23] "At a certain point, the energetic leak and how negative and scarce it made my mindset was just like - this is not worth it. I gotta just walk away." - Kate

#82: Selling, Summits & Showing Up Imperfectly: A Real-Life Update27 Feb 202600:13:49

This episode wasn’t planned. At all. I’m recording it messy, tired, mid-marathon-training, and deep in summit prep… because the message needed to be said. If you’re struggling with ‘shoulds,’ this one’s for you.

🔗 Links:

🎧 I talk about:

  • Honouring real capacity after returning from Thailand (and why this episode is intentionally imperfect).
  • Navigating summit season + marathon training and letting go of “shoulds”
  • A quick update on your London Marathon fundraiser for ActionAid.
  • Why selling feels different in 2026 and the small tweaks that actually move the needle.
  • What to expect inside the free Soulful Sales Summit (including TWO brand new trainings from me about what's working with offers in 2026)

💭 [02:24] “I need to be really honest with myself about what my actual capacity is right now.”

💭 [06:18] “I’m not gonna lie, I have thought about quitting quite a lot over the last few weeks.

💭 [08:05] “I had a really great year in 2025 despite all of this noise… and I was kind of believing things were getting harder until I looked at the numbers.”

💭 [10:28] “Even one idea could totally change the trajectory of your business in 2026.”

#81: How to Sell Every Day (And Feel Good About Doing It)20 Feb 202600:21:25

Want to know a secret about selling? The people who feel calmest about it aren’t the ones selling less, they’re the ones who sell more often. And this episode will show you why.

In this episode, I’m sharing why selling every day isn’t about being pushy or exhausting yourself - it’s about building momentum and confidence. I talk about how setting a simple “sell every day” challenge has helped me (and my clients) move through perfectionism, overthinking, and fear of annoying people.

I also walk you through what selling every day can actually look like in a sustainable, human way - from tiny PS invitations to simple tweaks in your existing content. This is about redefining selling on your terms, making it feel lighter, and remembering that your right people truly need what you offer.

🔗 Links:

🎧 Tune in to hear:

  • Why selling more often feels calmer
  • The real benefits beyond immediate sales
  • How to redefine “selling every day”
  • Tiny daily actions that build momentum
  • The mindset shifts that make it sustainable

💭 [06:45] “Selling every day doesn't have to mean what you think it means.”

💭 [12:50] “Did I make it clear to my right people today that I am open for business and that I have something they can buy?”

💭 [19:45] “Selling every day can mean whatever you want it to mean.”

#80: Burnout, Boundaries & Bodies Roundtable Discussion13 Feb 202601:03:45

Today's special roundtable discussion is a really important one, all about listening to our bodies, setting boundaries and running our businesses in a way that is truly sustainable for the future and not based on how we think we should be able to sustain it.

With Sage Grayson, Dama Jue, Kate Kordsmeier, Liz Stapleton, Steph Blake, and Ruth Poundwhite.

Pssst... click here to access a free bundle of goodies from us!


🎧 Tune in to hear us answer:

  • How do you know the difference between needing a break and avoiding something uncomfortable?
  • When is burnout actually a sign you’ve outgrown a version of your business?
  • What boundaries genuinely protect your energy — not just in theory, but in practice?
  • And how do we listen to our bodies before they force us to stop?


Quotes:

💭 [12:40] "The universe will throw you a pebble... it'll throw you a rock... or it'll throw a boulder. I have started to notice those warning signs and stop it with a pebble before it even gets to the rock." - Steph Blake

💭 [18:30] "I had to make a tough decision to stop working with clients in the way that I was... I asked myself, 'Can I continue the way I'm going?' And the answer was no. So I had no choice." - Ruth Poundwhite

💭 [54:38] “Always work on the things that are closest to you getting paid.” - Sage Grayson

💭 [58:31] "It takes 10, 20 minutes to set a boundary. It can take weeks or months to recover from burnout." - Dama Jue

#79: My Biggest Money Mess Yet, and the Financial Habits That Saved Me06 Feb 202600:18:02

In 2024, I seriously messed up the money side of my business and it came with a lot of stress, shame, and some very real consequences. But it also became one of the biggest periods of growth I’ve ever had as a business owner.

In this episode, I’m opening up about exactly what happened, what it taught me about managing my finances as a limited-company owner, and the mindset shifts that helped me move from “I’ve completely failed” to feeling steady, confident, and back in control.

🎧 Tune in to hear:

  • The money mistake I didn’t see coming
  • Why shame kept me stuck longer
  • Financial habits that changed everything
  • Separating business money from personal money
  • Trusting myself with bigger numbers

💭 [5:43] “I can't tell you how much shame I felt when this happened…”

💭 [12:07] “That is so not the way that a successful business owner operates.”

💭 [16:15] “ No matter what situation you are in with money, it is never too late to start making positive changes.”
