Direct Sales Done Right

Katy Ursta www.katyursta.com

The Direct Sales Done Right Podcast with Katy Ursta is for female entrepreneurs and network marketers who want to grow a thriving business without losing sight of what matters most along the way.


With over 12 years of experience (and a 7-figure business built through storytelling and strategy), Katy brings unfiltered lessons to the mic — sharing what actually works when it comes to marketing, and how to build success without sacrificing your top priorities: your family, your health, your relationships, and your joy.


Each week, you’ll walk away with relatable stories, real-life strategies, and the kind of honest advice you’d expect from a mentor who’s been exactly where you are — who’s made mistakes, learned the hard way, and figured out how to rise after a setback.
