Scaling and Selling a Large Group Offer vs. 1:1 Services (Close-Up with Lacey)

In this solo episode, we discuss the differences in scaling and selling a large group offer vs. 1:1. Too often in the online space we act as though these are exactly the same in terms of how you’d approach them strategically and they are absolutely not. We dive into the differences, how that’s showing up for Robyn, and the “why” behind different strategic choices so that you can feel more clear on the what and why and can apply it to your own business for more results. In this episode, you’ll he...

Scaling, Messaging and Being Misunderstood (Session 3 with Robyn)

In Session 3 with Robyn, we discuss all things scaling and messaging. The truth is, in order to scale a program you need specific messaging that helps you stand out, and we’re getting clear on what that means for Robyn. Some of it is mindset and energetic and some of it is smart strategy, and you’ll get to see how it all fits together. We also dive into some of the shadow sides of sharing in this way- like the fact that people will misunderstand you no matter what. It’s a great episode that blen...

Scaling a Good Thing (Session 1 with Robyn)

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.

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 R...

The Challenges of Being a Working Mom, Accountability, and Sustainable Growth (Final Wrap-Up with Angie)

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...

Choosing Yourself & Saying The Thing (Session 16 with Angie)

Managing the Big Emotions of Growth (Close-Up with Lacey)

In this solo episode, we dive into the big emotions of growth, which are actually the most crucial to deal with as you scale. Most people think it’s the specific strategy, etc. and what I see again and again is that the strategies are simple but all the stuff it brings up is where you really need support (because that’s also where people can stop their growth and self-sabotage). We dive into some specifics around what’s coming up for Angie and zoom out to talk about ways to manage this when you ...

Five Ways to Feel Better in Your Business ASAP (Close-Up with Lacey)

In this solo episode, I dive into the details behind what it takes to feel truly GOOD in your business.

There are so many factors that played into this, so you’ll hear me dive into the five most important ones I want you to take away from this so you can do a self-check for that same type of jo...
