139. 4 Steps to Unblocking Your Intuition
This episode is meant to inspire you as we kick off 2024. With a new year comes changes, new goals, new revenue and new profit streams for your company. Today, I dive into what unblocking your intuition can do for you as a female entrepreneur, especially if you’ve been feeling stuck or uninspired lately.There are four concepts that I walk you through; understanding intuition and how it ties to entrepreneurship, embracing creativity, overcoming doubt, and finally practical exercises for the intuitive entrepreneur. I explain what intuition is and how you can use it to benefit your business. I talk through how intuition plays a role in being creative and innovative. Overcoming doubt and building self confidence is a big one for this community. Trusting your intuition can help you in both of these areas and I explain how. Finally I walk you through some exercises that can be a catalyst in tapping into your intuition. Whether it be journaling, meditation, networking, or even a walk in nature, these tools are designed so that you can reflect back and hone in on the inner voice that’s always been inside of you.

We have officially launched Purposeful Podcast for the last time at its current price. Purposeful Podcast is our step-by-step guide to launching a purpose driven podcast that helps you grow your community and become a go-to leader in your niche. One thing we hear over and over again is that next year you’ll start your podcast. But today we want to ask you why not now?From lived experiences, all three of us know that there is no such thing as an ideal time to start. Amy and Abby started the HERself podcast in the nooks and crannies of their days while Abby was working over 40 hours a week at her corporate job and Amy was busy managing a FTE .6 nursing job and had already started her other business; Expecting and Empowered. Between the two of them they had five kids but they had a mission that was important to both of them so they found the time to start their podcast.Kat started her first podcast; TTC Society, about her journey to becoming a mother. She found podcasting to be a way to turn her mess into an important message. This was a really hard time in her life and she felt called to do something about it. Years later, podcasting is now Kat’s full time job and she never would’ve thought this would be her current reality. Our hope is that you don’t wait. Make this your year. Your voice has something to bring to the world and we want you to feel more purpose. The doors for Purposeful Podcast are open from now until Friday, January 26th, 2024, at midnight.

Not sure what being a sponsor of your own podcast looks like? I walk you through how we do it in all three of my businesses and share why offering a discount code in your sponsors will make customers act sooner. I also go into depth on why podcasts are such a fantastic way to serve your audience and get them to buy from you.If you think this is the time to make your podcast, I say why not?

135. How We're Mapping Out Our 2024 AND Our Best Tips for You
We are outlining our year ahead in this episode but grab your pen and paper because throughout it we give you tons of tips on how to do the same for your business. If you’re newer to entrepreneurship we know that doing this type of analysis can be overwhelming but the goal of this episode is to make it easier on you because we’ve learned over the years what has worked for us and we want to share that with you.Reflecting on the past year is where you’ll want to begin. We prompt you to look at things like where you generated the most new leads and what caused the most dramatic growth for your business? Assessing your finances is key to understanding where you might be able to spend a little more next year. Remember to look at your competition too. See what they are doing that seems to be working well for them. Can you implement similar strategies?And it’s not just about the numbers. How did you feel both in and out of your business this last year? How do you want this next year to feel? Where do you need to make some changes? What can you automate or delegate? Is it time to hire?Look back at the beginning of this year and don’t forget to celebrate how far you have come. If reflecting or planning a year out is too much, break it down. What wins can you celebrate from the last 90 days? And what are the top three things you want to accomplish in the next 90 days. Oftentimes we overestimate what we can get done in a day and underestimate what we can accomplish in a year. We want this year to be your best year yet so break down those goals into bite size pieces and start 2024 off with a bang!Let’s connect!Purposeful Week Planner: https://www.pursuingherpurpose.com/shopOur WEBSITE: https://www.pursuingherpurpose.comINSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/pursuingherpurpose/MEET AMY: http://instagram.com/ameskiefer/MEET KAT: https://www.instagram.com/kat.herro/ MEET ABBY: http://instagram.com/abbyrosegreen/This episode was produced and edited by @pivotballchange.

This episode is landing right between Christmas and New Year’s for those who celebrate so we thought we’d throw it back to one of our favorite episodes with Amy Porterfield. All three of us have been huge fans of hers for years now! Her podcast, Online Marketing Made Easy, has accompanied us on many walks, lunches, and road trips. The value she brings to this industry is unmatched and we love how motivated we are after listening to her episodes.Amy shares how she got started as an entrepreneur, what it was like to transition from a more behind the scenes role to forward facing, and the strategies that she has used to increase her download numbers for her own podcast.Even someone as successful as Amy Porterfield struggles with confidence. We talk about how she has grown into her own confidence, how she was afraid of being seen due to negative self-image and the impact that having a mentor and friends in this industry can have on us.

We are throwing it back to one of my favorite episodes I’ve ever recorded.

132. 5 Ways to Avoid Burnout This Year
Hi you guys! It’s Amy with a solo episode this week. Today I am talking about something that is very near and dear to my heart; how to avoid burnout as an entrepreneur and balance your life in a way that feels good to you. We know that you didn’t leave your job to have a worse schedule than you did before. In this episode I share tried and true tips that have worked for me over the years.First off, I recommend finding a formula that works for your week. I walk you through what my work week looks like and give specific examples of what I do each day. Next, I advise you to think about your year. What does your business year look like? When are your launches? I even share some examples of what our business year looks like inside Pursuing HER Purpose. Do you always feel like you have to have something new to offer or maybe you keep offering something that you don’t want to offer any more? I’ve been there and it’s not a good feeling. I challenge you to create a system that does allow you to feel good inside your business. Connection is also something that can fill your soul and help you not feel so lonely as a solopreneur. I remind you to see the people - network and make the connections. Finally, I want you to ask yourself what specifically doesn’t feel good in your business right now? What is it that you really don’t like? Now challenge yourself to create solutions. Don’t buy into the idea that thing’s can’t change because they can. We want 2024 to be a year where you are able to find steadiness and happiness both inside and outside of your business.Sponsor: How to 2x Your Business with Podcasting WorkshopLet’s connect!Purposeful Week Planner: https://www.pursuingherpurpose.com/shopOur WEBSITE: https://www.pursuingherpurpose.comINSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/pursuingherpurpose/MEET AMY: http://instagram.com/ameskiefer/MEET KAT: https://www.instagram.com/kat.herro/ MEET ABBY: http://instagram.com/abbyrosegreen/This episode was produced and edited by @pivotballchange.

131. BTS: Launch Debrief and Making Money 24/7
We are back with another one of our favorite kinds of episodes - behind the scenes! Today we are sharing what the month of November looked like for us. We had multiple offers going out at the same time. We launched our course on courses; Purposeful Course, had a secret, private launch going at the same time, and had our very first evergreen course bringing us sales without having to do so much leg work.We’re not going to lie, the runway for Purposeful Course felt a little squeezed this time around. We explain how we were coming straight off of our in-person event of our mastermind and that our sales for Purposeful Course did have a slower start than we expected. But, as we always do, we share how we pivoted and what we did to still feel like we brought in a good amount of sales for this launch.The word “evergreen” is a trending one in this industry. We have gone evergreen with one of our courses - Purposeful Podcast. Today we share what this looks like and how it doesn’t mean we have completely washed our hands of the work that has to go into these sales. There are still aspects of evergreen sales that we are very much involved in.This year was such a great year for us in so many ways. We created incredible relationships with you - our students, held our first ever mastermind which we all loved and is here to stay, and the three of us grew closer both personally and professionally. Going into 2024 we have a much clearer vision for this business and we hope that by being a part of this community you’re feeling the same way too.Sponsor: How to 2x Your Business with Podcasting WorkshopLet’s connect!Purposeful Week Planner: https://www.pursuingherpurpose.com/shopOur WEBSITE: https://www.pursuingherpurpose.comINSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/pursuingherpurpose/MEET AMY: http://instagram.com/ameskiefer/MEET KAT: https://www.instagram.com/kat.herro/ MEET ABBY: http://instagram.com/abbyrosegreen/This episode was produced and edited by @pivotballchange.

130. How to Sell Without Feeling Gross
It’s Kat coming to you with a solo episode. If I am new to you I am one of the three co-founders of Pursuing HER Purpose and I also own a sales agency which has supported tons of online business owners to sell their offers. Today I am talking with you about all things sales. Especially debunking the belief that selling is gross.In this episode I share how to sell without feeling icky. Most sales goals are created with how we want to feel in the end but in order to achieve those goals you need to stop avoiding the middle. There is a way to actually feel good about selling and today I teach you how to start shifting your mindset. I talk about the importance of not overserving your audience. If you are giving away too much “how-to” and “tips and tricks” content, your audience may think they are getting all the information they need from you. Don’t let your consumer fill up on bread crumbs.I want you to proudly cruise in your selling lane. I want you to feel good about selling your product. You know how vital it is and I can’t wait for you to get out there and sell. Your life is about to change while simultaneously selling and serving at the same time.Sponsor: How to 2x Your Business with Podcasting WorkshopLet’s connect!Purposeful Week Planner: https://www.pursuingherpurpose.com/shopOur WEBSITE: https://www.pursuingherpurpose.comINSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/pursuingherpurpose/MEET AMY: http://instagram.com/ameskiefer/MEET KAT: https://www.instagram.com/kat.herro/ MEET ABBY: http://instagram.com/abbyrosegreen/This episode was produced and edited by @pivotballchange.

129. Tough Love: How to Make Your Mind Work for You
We desire change but then we don’t take the necessary steps forward to make it happen. Sound familiar? Today we are talking about making the right changes and working with your mind rather than against it. We want you to be able to expand your mind and think about the endless possibilities that are in front of you. The two traits of expansiveness and abundance go hand in hand in motherhood and entrepreneurship. I hope this episode gives you some steps and mantras you can use to shift your mindset if necessary.The four topics that I cover include overthinking, comparison, motherhood & the mind, and the mind & comfort connection. I dive deeper into each of these areas and explain how the mind might be holding you back. We know that the women in this community are driven. We know you want a purposeful push in order to have the impact you can on your little corner of the world. The mind is a powerful tool. Maybe you are feeling good right now.

128. When Imposter Syndrome Asks, "Can I Actually Do This?"
We are coming to you during the launch of Purposeful Course; your complete roadmap to creating, launching and selling your own profitable online course. If you’ve been around for a while you know this business, Pursuing HER Purpose, is course based meaning we generate most of our revenue from selling online courses. Today, we’re focusing on the question, “Can I really do this?”If you’ve been contemplating starting your own online course we know there are a few roadblocks that can get in the way. We discuss what imposter syndrome is and what it can sound like. We know that time is a real obstacle. We get it. We are all working moms but we want you to know that by creating an online course you will be getting more of what you need; time. And then there’s the crossroads of where motherhood meets your career. It may seem like there is never the right time. We share how we were able to start our own businesses while juggling the act of motherhood right along with it.So if you’re ready to take the leap and learn how to create, launch, and sell your very first online course so that you can actually be generating a sustainable income through your business, join Purposeful Course now.

127. Making Sure You Have Something to Sell Before You Have a Big Audience
One commonality that we see among business owners is that they focus so much on building their audience before they have anything to sell. We want to stress that followership on social media platforms does not equal success. We both know of accounts that have hundreds of thousands of followers and yet they bring in little to no income. And we’ve seen the opposite be true. We know some entrepreneurs that have 1000 followers and make multiple six figures. Do you feel like you’re on a hamster wheel that you can’t get off of inside your business? We want you to take a step back and look at what you're spending your time on. If it’s content creation and continually doing what you're comfortable with, that is never going to allow you the freedom that you are looking for inside your business. You have to be intentional about the time you dedicate to creating the offer that is going to allow you to jump off of that rotating wheel.If we got anything across to you today we hope it’s the permission and excitement to launch something as you build your audience. Put away the excuse of needing a large following before you sell. Having a small audience is the perfect time to start from scratch, create a community, and build raving fans who are going to be so happy to talk about your course.If this episode has inspired you to start thinking about creating your own course be sure to register for our free webinar; Four Ways to Create Time Freedom Through Online Courses, below.

126. How Much Does It Really Cost to Start an Online Course?
Is your pay directly related to your time? Maybe you’re a consultant and you need to be in person to make money or maybe you’re a hair stylist who needs to have their chair filled in order to see the dollars roll in? Imagine if you could create a product that incorporates your expertise but you don’t have to be there in order to make an impact and have an income be made. You can! We discuss how in this episode.We cover the idea of finite thinking versus having an abundant mindset and what that can do for your business. People want to learn from you and work with you but we get it, you can only be in so many places at once. What if instead you could create an online course that would allow others to still learn from you without you having to be physically present?We answer your questions on what stops people from creating an online course including if the technology part might seem too complicated. We also cover the reasons TO create an online course, the exact equipment you’ll need to get started, and what it will cost you. We tell you how to price your course and as always, walk you through the behind the scenes of our very first course launch.Online courses have a ripple effect. They not only impact you but all the people you can support as well.

125. Whitney Casares on How to Stop Doing it All and Start Doing What Matters
We are excited to have Dr. Whitney Casares on the show today. This episode was featured on Abby and Amy’s other podcast, the HERself podcast but we knew we just had to share it with this audience as well. Dr. Whitney is a maternal child health expert, a pediatrician, and a mom of two; one child has ADHD and the other has autism. She’s also the author of the soon-to-be released book - Doing It All.Today we are talking about how we can make working motherhood better for ourselves. Dr. Whitney explains how when she was doing it all, in the end, she was the one who was suffering the most. She shares her hot take on the word balance and offers a suggestion on what we could be seeking instead. We cover everything from how to advocate for yourself and others in incremental ways at the workplace, what the term sandwich generation means, and what you can do if you fall into this category. Dr. Whitney shares how her and her husband split the household and parenting load & you’ll find her honest, personal answer refreshing. In Dr. Whitney’s upcoming book, Doing It All, she talks about the centered life. In this episode she walks us through this concept, gives her own personal examples, and shares what you can do when your top priorities conflict with one another.We appreciate Dr. Whitney’s honest, realistic approach to working motherhood. We all want you to know that you deserve to feel good in this role and that even if you feel like you don’t have five minutes to reflect on your own needs, doing so will have a foundational impact on the rest of your life.Sign Up for the Upcoming Pursuing HER Purpose Online Courses WorkshopLet’s connect!Purposeful Week Planner: https://www.pursuingherpurpose.com/shopOur WEBSITE: https://www.pursuingherpurpose.comINSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/pursuingherpurpose/MEET AMY: http://instagram.com/ameskiefer/MEET KAT: https://www.instagram.com/kat.herro/ MEET ABBY: http://instagram.com/abbyrosegreen/This episode was produced and edited by @pivotballchange.

124. Is an Online Course the Right Move for You?
Have you ever wondered if an online course is right for your business? It’s Kat here with a solo episode this week and I’m helping you answer that question. There is a lot of hype around online courses right now but there’s also a lot of confusion.Today I run through the different archetypes that should start an online course. Do you consider yourself someone who wants to support other people in their business? Or maybe you are a burnt out service provider? Perhaps you’re a 9-5er who is looking to create something you are passionate about outside your everyday job. Or are you are an entrepreneur whose business has taken over your entire life and you're looking for more freedom and flexibility? Any of these sound like you?! If I’ve piqued your interest, tune into this episode to learn how to pick a course topic that is guaranteed to be profitable right off the bat. We don’t want you feeling like you’re duct taping strategies together. Let us help you learn from both our mistakes and wins when it comes to creating an online course.Head on over to www.pursuingherpurpose.com to register for our free workshop, Four Steps to Create Time Freedom Through Online Courses, that will take place this November!Let’s connect!Purposeful Week Planner: https://www.pursuingherpurpose.com/shopOur WEBSITE: https://www.pursuingherpurpose.comINSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/pursuingherpurpose/MEET AMY: http://instagram.com/ameskiefer/MEET KAT: https://www.instagram.com/kat.herro/ MEET ABBY: http://instagram.com/abbyrosegreen/This episode was produced and edited by @pivotballchange.

123. An Update on HERself's Revenue: A Podcast Based Business
It’s Amy and Abby here with you this week and we are giving you an update on our other business together, the HERself podcast. If you haven’t listened to episode 71, go back and check that out because in there we talk about the first two years of HERself.Since the beginning of HERself, we have had an incredible community but there was an opportunity for us in the realm of monetization. We often hear from women in this community that they don’t care about the money aspect of their business but we DO!

122. BTS: Selling and Delivering Our First Mastermind
We believe our listeners and customers deserve a peek behind the scenes on how we do business around here. Transparency is important to us so that’s why we are sharing our successes and struggles with you. These lessons that we learn can be beneficial to other business owners, like you, as well. As you know, we recently launched our first mastermind. We are currently in the middle of delivering that experience to our students. In this episode we dive into how we decided on a launch date, why we capped the number of participants at the number we did, a happy accident that happened during our launch, and the revenue that the mastermind brought in for us.Creating the mastermind has kept us really, really busy. We were on several interview phone calls with applicants, we were heavily utilizing social media to create a buzz around it, and we’ve been planning all of the details for the in-person event coming up this month. Doing something like this for the first time is always going to be the most time consuming. But in the end it has been so fun and so joyful for all three of us! Tune in to hear why this launch has been our least stressful but most profitable thus far.Sponsor: How to 2x Your Business with Podcasting WorkshopLet’s connect!Purposeful Week Planner: https://www.pursuingherpurpose.com/shopOur WEBSITE: https://www.pursuingherpurpose.comINSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/pursuingherpurpose/MEET AMY: http://instagram.com/ameskiefer/MEET KAT: https://www.instagram.com/kat.herro/ MEET ABBY: http://instagram.com/abbyrosegreen/This episode was produced and edited by @pivotballchange.

97. From Our Students to You: How Purposeful Course Worked for Their Business
We are shaking things up a bit this week and have three separate interviews all in one episode. The three women we are interviewing are making really big strides in their businesses and they each have a unique story to tell. All three of the women are at different stages in their business, different stages in their lives, and they are all students of Purposeful Course.Maggie joined Purposeful Course as a way to add on to her existing virtual assistant business by creating courses for other businesses. And then Sammie created her online course as her actual signature offer. Finally, Lynn has had an established business for over 25 years but she wanted to take herself outside of the day to day while still being able to support her clients. Each of these women did not want to exchange dollars for hours. Online courses are the perfect way to do just that. It is so easy to serve your clients while not having to be strapped down in your time.Let these interviews be an inspiration to you. Whether you’re like Maggie and you’re a business that helps support other businesses. Or maybe you’re like Sammie that you want to create that signature offer but you’re trying to figure out what it is that you're going to sell. Or maybe you’re like Lynn and want to continue to make an impact while not physically there. All of these women are doing things that you could easily do too. And just think, in a few months you could be the person being interviewed on Pursuing HER Purpose for the incredible business offer you are delivering to your clients. Be inspired, be motivated, and we cannot wait to see who joins this cohort of Purposeful Course.Doors open April 25th!

95. Why You ARE the Expert
Have you ever said to yourself why would someone buy a course from me? Or felt like you don’t have enough training to develop a course? Well today we are diving into a topic that comes up every single week inside of our coaching calls and DMs. It has to do with being an expert or an authority in your niche. We find that oftentimes a lack of confidence kills more business ideas than anything else. So today we help you understand that in order to be considered an expert in your area of business you don’t have to be THE expert. You just have to be 10% ahead of your ideal customer avatar. We help you find the confidence to put yourself out there. We remind you that the pursuit of continual growth and knowledge in your field will help you realize that you don’t have to be perfect, you just have to be willing to learn.If this episode leaves you feeling inspired and ready to create that course that has been on your mind, be sure to join our waitlist for Purposeful Course by clicking on the link below.

82. How We Hit 6-Figures In Online Course Sales Our First Year

We share all the details with you so you feel excited about online courses as a really healthy revenue stream and that in your heart you know that these results are possible for you as well.

81. Greatest Hits: The Episode You Need if You Are About to Return from Maternity Leave
We know this week is a busy week for many of you and we also know that you might be tackling some big life transitions. Maybe you’re welcoming a new family member or heading back to work after the new year after a maternity leave. We wanted to reshare one of our greatest hits episodes from this year all about how to transition back to work after maternity leave. This episode is not only full of tactical tips on how to rock your work day but it also feels like a warm hug that your mama heart might need.All three of us have made the transition from maternity leave to working. And all three of us had different experiences every single time. For some women, they are excited for the opportunity to head back where others may end up with tears streaming down their face in the parking lot at daycare drop off. All feelings are valid. It doesn’t make you any less of a mother if you are joyfully packing your work bag to head back. And it doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t be a working mother if you’re in tears, it just may mean it takes a bit more time to fully transition. Today we give dozens of tangible takeaways to make this transition smoother for you and also a warm hug of solidarity in any way you may be feeling. This is the perfect episode to send over to a friend or come back to when the transition from maternity leave is coming. Let’s connect!

79. Overcoming Perfectionism to Move Your Business Forward
Abby here. This week I am sharing my own personal struggles with perfectionism and how it has held me back in certain areas of my life. If you are someone who identifies as a perfectionist, you’re not going to want to miss this episode.Where does perfectionism show up in your life? Maybe it’s in how you manage your diet, your relationships with those you love, motherhood, or maybe your work life? Today I share the difference between what inward pressure versus outward pressure looks and feels like.Remember, not all perfectionistic qualities are bad. Those of us who identify with perfectionism tend to be laser focused, ambitious, motivated, and hard-working. These are all great qualities! We are more likely to excel in school and sports. And becoming our best-selves is more attainable. However, perfectionism can hold you back. It can leave you being unproductive, less happy, and putting unnecessary pressure on both yourself and others. So how can we use our perfectionism to move us forward in both our personal and professional lives? Tune in to this week’s episode to hear some strategies that I recommend.

72. Mindset Shifts for the New Entrepreneur
Last week, you heard Abby and Amy give a behind-the-scenes look at their business and weekly podcast, HERself, including their revenue numbers, revenue sources, lessons learned, and more. If you missed that episode, we recommend you go back and listen to it first, because today we’re diving into the key mindset shifts and perspectives that helped them get their business and podcast to where it is. Not only did they share the triumphs, but in true Pursuing HER Purpose fashion, they also shared what didn’t exactly turn out as planned and what they learned from these experiences. Together, what is shared in both of these episodes can be so valuable and help you on your own journey in entrepreneurship and podcasting! Imagine that in a year from now, you too could be sharing about what you’ve gained by starting and growing your dream podcast! Our Purposeful Podcast Course is launching soon, on November 1st, 2022, and since its inception, we’ve had over 50 women get their dream podcast out into the world confidently, professionally, quickly and fearlessly. In this course, you’ll get the behind the scenes look into how we strategize for our podcasts, monetize the show, and create these episodes, plus how we launch, buy the right equipment for podcasting, and more.

71. BTS - The First Two Years of the HERself Podcast Business
Today we’re doing another Behind the Scenes (BTS) episode and a deep dive like what we do with Pursuing HER Purpose, but this one is a bit different in that we’ll be looking at our first podcast, HERself Podcast. If you haven’t listened to it, that podcast is devoted to getting women one step further than they are today. We have guests like Nedra Tawwab, Dr. Becky Kennedy and Eve Rodsky, just to name a few of the amazing guests who have appeared on the show. On HERself, we don’t breeze past the tough stuff, and as hosts we often open up about mom rage, guilt, sex, body image and all the conversations that you typically only have with your closest friends. As we are about to launch our Purposeful Podcast Course, we thought it would be a really valuable episode to bring our experience from HERself into the spotlight, starting from the beginning, so that you can see what’s possible and to learn from our triumphs and mistakes along the way. By doing so, we want you to see if podcasting is the right fit for you and your business! Everything that we have talked about in this episode, and really everything that we have learned in the last three years of podcasting, is all in our Purposeful Podcast Course that is launching soon, on November 1st, 2022! In this course, you’ll get the behind the scenes look into how we strategize for our podcasts, monetize the show, and create these episodes, plus how we launch, buy the right equipment for podcasting, and more.

70. Affiliate marketing from the start (and when to say no)
Today’s episode is all about affiliate marketing, and we wanted to focus on this topic because we know that affiliate marketing will probably be available to listeners who are just beginning their businesses before sponsorship is an option. At Pursuing HER Purpose, we like to teach that healthy businesses have several different revenue streams coming in their door, and this is where affiliate marketing can make a lot of sense! You can check out the show notes to see links and examples of how we do things with our affiliates, and if you have any questions at all, we’ll be in our DMs on Instagram this week, @pursuingherpurpose, to support you as needed. We know it can feel overwhelming to get started with affiliate marketing, but it’s exciting and we are so happy to help you on your journey!

69: The Mindset Episode: Where Are You Holding Yourself Back?
It’s Kat and Abby with you today, and we’re very excited to be diving into the topic of mindset! Mindset can be thought of as a buzzword these days, and some people think it’s not important, but we truly believe that mindset is the fuel that either moves us closer to our goals or keeps us feeling stuck, unfulfilled, and maybe even resentful in some situations. In this episode, you’ll hear about the beliefs that we have held and how we now see the ways that they have held us back and hurt our progress or our growth. We’ll also share how you can become aware of your own beliefs and in turn question their validity, and the role that they are playing in your life right now. We provide you with the mindset prompts and specific questions to ask yourself, because awareness is such an important piece of all of this. When you become aware, you can find solutions that challenge and help you become the business owner, mom, partner, and leader that you want to be in the world. We want to know what beliefs you have uncovered by listening to this episode. What is it that you really want, and what would you do this upcoming year if you knew, without a shadow of a doubt, that you couldn’t fail? Send us a DM on Instagram, @pursuingherpurpose, and we’ll be cheering you on not only because you’ve uncovered the beliefs you are holding, but because you’ve discovered what it is that you desire!

66. If TIME is Your Excuse, We Have Solutions
As you might know by now, we’re right in the middle of launching Purposeful Business, which is our complete roadmap to building a profitable online business. We’re so excited to welcome a new cohort of students, and we’re ready to help them chase their dreams! When we’re working with people that are newer to online business, one barrier that they often bring up is time. This shows up in a few different ways, such as them saying, “I don’t think now is the right time”, “I’m not sure where I’d find the time to complete it”, or “I don’t feel worthy of my time” (although this last one is something they probably wouldn’t admit to out loud).In this episode, we’re going to help you reframe and flat out debunk some of these ideas. Whether you’re going to join Purposeful Business or not, you’re going to learn some really valuable information today about healing your relationship with time! This will be our last class of Purposeful Business for 2022, and if you join by the end of day Tuesday, September 13th, you can still get a $200 discount on the program (bringing the cost under $1,000), by using the code “Purpose200” at http://www.purposefulbusinesscourse.com/. You deserve time for things that are meaningful to you, and if that dream is to start a business, it could be something that financially impacts your family in a positive way too. We cannot wait to see you claim NOW as the time for you, and we’re looking forward to supporting you launch your dream business! Links & Resources:Join Purposeful Business Now!

65. Larissa Geleris on Rapid Instagram Growth and Creating Content That Connects
Today’s special guest is Larissa Geleris of the fast-growing Instagram account and business, Steady Parents (formerly known as WarriorOT). Larissa has been a big help to all three of us as we navigate the overstimulation that motherhood can bring, and she is also a student of Purposeful Business, joining our last cohort this past Spring. Since then, she’s experienced exponential growth in her company, which is why we wanted her to join us to share more about this journey with you. In this episode, Larissa dives deep into the business side of things, and these interviews are so fun for us as we can get to learn more about what our students are taking away from being a part of Purposeful Business.

64. Getting Partner Buy-In For Your Big Idea
It’s Amy here and today my husband Drew and I are diving into what it looks like when you come to your partner with your big idea! We wanted to paint a picture of how some of these conversations may go by sharing our own experiences when I started Expecting and Empowered with my sister, and with the businesses that followed that one. In this episode, you’ll not only hear how I approached getting the buy-in for these businesses from Drew, but what his thoughts were as the analytical thinker that he is. He reveals his expectations for my business in the beginning, the biggest challenges we encountered in those early years, and his advice for how you can start the conversation with your partner to discuss the business that you’ve been dreaming of creating. Next week is the last launch of 2022 Purposeful Business!

63. How to Ask for What You Need as a New Business Owner with Meggie Owsiak
It’s Amy here today and I’m with my friend Meggie from Everyday Best Buy, who started her Instagram account in January 2021, while she was on maternity leave with her second child. Since then, I’ve watched Meggie’s account grow and I’ve been so proud of her ability to network and ask her family, friends (including me!) and followers for help along the way. In this episode, Meggie is sharing a behind-the-scenes of her journey moving from a corporate career to building a successful online business. In addition to learning about how she leveraged her network during this process, Meggie shares her strategy for using Instagram Stories versus the feed, the best way to grow on Instagram right now, her advice for busy side hustlers who have a dream like she did, and much more! A lot of people are where Meggie was just a short time ago, and are just starting to dream about doing something on their own, which is why I’m so excited to be bringing you this conversation with her today.

62: How to Work Through Imposter Syndrome
Imposter syndrome is a BIG topic that impacts a lot of us. We get it, as there are times we have felt imposter syndrome too, and it’s our job as business owners to recognize what’s coming up for our students, our listeners, and our community as well. It’s also our job to put ourselves back in your shoes and to think back to when we were starting our business, and what impacted us at the beginning stages of Pursuing HER Purpose. This is why we just knew that we needed to dedicate an entire episode to imposter syndrome! We want this episode to be a reminder that as humans we’re going to fail, but it’s up to each of us to get back up, to keep learning, and to keep adjusting. It’s time to stop overthinking and to start executing in your business, and when you start to think big and think confidently about yourself and what you are doing right now, you are going to start doing bigger things. We hope that you can use some of the tips and can take from the research that we pulled into this episode. As always, if there is someone you know that could benefit from this message, we’d be so grateful if you shared the episode and tagged us on Instagram, @pursuingherpurpose. See you next week!

59. Do You Niche Down?
Today we’re talking about what could be one of the biggest mistakes that new business owners are making, and that is not niching down.

We hope that this episode leaves you feeling ready to go, and inspires you to take a really good look at who you are serving.

51: Building a Business from the Ground up on YouTube with Andrew and Emma Hubbard
It’s Kat here, and today I am so thrilled to introduce you to Andrew and Emma Hubbard, the co-founders of Brightest Beginning, an online community and educational hub that teaches parents about everything from early development, sleep, teething, eating and potty training. Emma is a pediatric occupational therapist with over 10 years of clinical experience, and her husband Andrew is also the founder of Hubbard Digital, a leading marketing and education company that specializes in Facebook and Instagram Ads. Andrew and I actually used to work together at the last company I was with, and he is the brains behind supporting that business to reach multiple 7-figures in revenue per year. Since then, he has ventured into the world of YouTube, supporting Emma to reach over 191,000 subscribers in less than 2 years! You’re going to hear all about how they’ve grown their YouTube channel and business, and what to consider if you are a content creator looking to maximize results using that platform, or what to do if you’re considering becoming a content creator. If you think YouTube is “too saturated”, it’s not, and Andrew gives a great answer on why this is! Andrew and Emma give some excellent reasons for why you just need to get started if you’ve been on the fence about publishing on YouTube, what they’ve done to build a business using the platform (from the ground up!), getting comfortable taking risks, what to do to prevent burnout, and so much more. I am so inspired by their story, and I hope you are as well!

49: Why Work isn't "Working" for Women and Especially Women of Color with Deepa Purushothaman
We are thrilled to have Deepa Purushothaman on the podcast today to talk about a very important topic right now, as we are at a moment of reckoning with women leaving the workforce in droves. The social justice movement has illuminated that what’s happening at work just isn’t working, especially for women of color, and Deepa is someone who asks the big questions that aren’t being asked right now around race. Her work is shining a light on these issues which have always been there but just not talked about, and for that we are so grateful to have the opportunity to bring Deepa on the podcast to share her thoughts and insights with you. Deepa’s book, The First, the Few, the Only: How Women of Color Can Redefine Power in Corporate America, was published in March 2022 to international acclaim, and if you loved this conversation with Deepa, you’ll definitely want to read it.

42. Kara Loewentheil on Unf*cking Your Money Mindset
Our money mindset and the stories we tell ourselves about money is something that needs to be talked about, because as female entrepreneurs (or anyone for that matter!) these roadblocks will hold us back in life and business. Today’s special guest is Kara Loewentheil, host of the UnF*ck Your Brain Podcast, and she is here to share her wisdom and expertise to help free us from the limiting beliefs and social conditioning about money that are so common today.Even though the central theme of this episode focuses on money stories and our beliefs around money, the thoughts and self-judgments that you have in one area of your life, such as finances, are probably showing up in other areas. This is why we are so excited to bring you this episode, because it really all ties together. As a quick note before we dive in, this episode does contain some cursing, so please be aware of this if you have little ears around when listening! If you love this episode, make sure to head over to Apple Podcasts or your favorite podcast app and leave us a review!

41. Behind the Scenes (BTS) - Strategies to Avoid Burnout
It’s time for another Behind the Scenes look at our business, and we’re so excited to share this one with you! This month a big conversation for us was the workloads we each have and the sustainability of them, which is why we wanted to dedicate an episode to this subject.The purpose of this episode is to encourage you to think about your own workload and processes, even if you’re a solopreneur. What is sustainable right now, and what is not sustainable in the long-term for you? Where could your systems get better so that things could feel more sustainable, and what can you remove to give yourself more freedom? All 3 of us are really committed to living out the values of balancing work and life outside of work. We’ve always felt that we want to move at a pace that lets us feel well, feel creative, and be in alignment with our values, and today we reveal a few examples of what we’re doing to make this happen. As you’ll hear in this episode, we’re relaunching our next cohort of Purposeful Business very soon, on April 18th, 2022!

Tanya Dalton is a mother, business owner, and author of two books, including her latest work, On Purpose: The Busy Woman's Guide to an Extraordinary Life of Meaning and Success.

39. You Have More Skills Than You're Giving Yourself Credit- How a sales woman, a dietitian, and a nurse built successful businesses
Today’s episode is going to be a little bit different, as we are talking about the experiences that we each had before becoming entrepreneurs and how the skills we gained translated well into what we do now.When we embarked on this journey of Pursuing HER Purpose, we realized that one thing many women are getting stumped on is how the skills they acquired at their job can be translated to owning a business or working for a small business. It is our hope that you find possibility in this episode, as we’ve made it super tangible with mindset shifts and strategies that you can implement right away. The whole point of this episode is to make you feel empowered in those skills that you’ve worked really hard to develop, and we know that each of our previous careers have really helped us now with Pursuing HER Purpose. We encourage you to not play small, and to remember that you can learn anything you need to on this journey. Every one of us was a new entrepreneur at one time, and we all had to figure it out too. We’re here to help you do just that, if you feel yourself called to do something new or more aligned with your purpose.

Most of us have been there. The “I’m too busy for self care” comments show up as an excuse during a full season.

Our businesses aren’t just about us. It’s about a vision that you have for your family, your clients or customers, and even how you might be impacting the world at large. And if you allow yourself to dream like us, then you know that eventually you can’t do it alone. There is a big misconception with personal brands, especially in the digital space, that they do it alone because they are the face of the business. We guarantee that any big name you follow and look up to has people behind the scenes who are supporting them -- whether it’s a bookkeeper, social media manager, assistant, or COO. The magic you see in these brands was built with a shared vision. If you’ve considered hiring in your business but haven’t yet, tune into this episode to learn the real reasons why you’re stalling on this huge growth opportunity.
