The Slow Platform That Brings Long-Term Sales (While You’re Off Social)
You’ve been told organic reach is dead. That if you’re not glued to Instagram 24/7, your business won’t grow. But what if that’s not the whole story?
In this episode, I’m joined by Pinterest strategist Laura Rike to talk about a platform that most coaches and service providers are completely ignoring and it’s costing them qualified traffic, long-tail visibility, and consistent sales.
No dancing, no doomscrolling, no daily content marathons. Just strategy, sustainability, and a fresh way to turn your existing content into new revenue.
If you’re tired of chasing trends and ready to market like a CEO, this is your wake-up call.

The Belief That’s Keeping You at $8K Months
You’ve got the experience. You’ve got the expertise. You’ve even hit consistent $8K months.
So why does it still feel like you’re hustling just to hold it all together?
This episode is not about another funnel tweak or productivity hack.
It’s about the belief that’s keeping smart, capable service providers stuck at a revenue ceiling they should’ve broken by now.
And spoiler: it’s not your strategy. It’s something deeper.
🎧 Tune in if:
✅ You’ve been secretly rebuilding the backend instead of showing up front-facing
✅ You’re the expert… but you’re still trying to “figure it all out yourself”
✅ You know you're ready for more but can't seem to move past this plateau

Stop Fixing What Isn’t Broken: Sell the Damn Thing
You don’t need another Canva post. You don’t need a new offer.
You need to stop throwing spaghetti at the wall and actually sell the thing you already built.
In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on why so many smart, skilled business owners are stuck at $8K months and what’s actually keeping them there.
(Hint: It’s not your pricing. And it’s definitely not your lack of talent.)
If you’re exhausted from creating and re-creating, launching and ghosting, tweaking and second-guessing this one’s for you.
🔍 What you’ll learn in this episode:
✅ The real reason your best offer isn’t converting even though it should be. (Hint: It has nothing to do with your pricing, your niche, or your graphics.)
✅ The subtle mindset trap keeping high-achieving entrepreneurs stuck in a loop of tweaking, launching, and ghosting their own offers. (And how to break out of it before another quarter passes you by.)
✅ The one shift that turns inconsistent sales into a repeatable system, no new funnels, flashy launches, or burnout required.
BTW, you don’t need another “maybe this will work” tactic. If you’d rather skip straight to the exact system my private clients pay $5K–$10K/month for the one that actually stops the income rollercoaster and makes $20K months feel simple here’s the shortcut: https://www.virtualmarketingexpert.com/scs/

Rewire Your Brain, Rebuild Your Business: Mindset Shifts That Scale - Episode 217
If you've ever felt like you're hiding in the "Entrepreneur Witness Protection Program"—avoiding the spotlight, second-guessing your every post, or quietly hoping clients find you without really putting yourself out there—this episode is your wake-up call.
I sat down with Jennifer Fitter, social psychologist and hypnotist, to dig into the real reason so many service-based entrepreneurs stay stuck: mindset blocks that were formed before you even knew what marketing was. 👶 Yep, turns out that fear of visibility, networking dread, or imposter syndrome may have started in childhood—and your subconscious is still running the show.

✅ Why your subconscious is the real CEO behind your fear of visibility (and how to change that).
✅ The surprising link between perfectionism and fear of failure—and how it’s killing your momentum.
✅Simple mindset reframe strategies (from NLP and hypnosis) to get unstuck and grow confidently.
Because here’s the truth: You can’t market yourself confidently if you don’t believe you’re worth being seen.

✅ The difference between CEO and Operator mode and how to tell which one you’re actually working from right now
✅ Why your business feels so heavy (and what to systemize or delegate first) to create more time and traction

Stuck, Stalled, and Overwhelmed? It’s Time for a Mid-Year Reset
So… we’re halfway through the year.
How’s that plan you made in January holding up?
In this episode of Marketing Matchmaker, I’m pulling back the curtain on what really happens when your goals start slipping, your momentum stalls, and that New Year energy fizzles out. If 2025 isn’t shaping up how you hoped—it’s not too late to turn it around. But spoiler alert: that turnaround doesn’t start with another freebie download or “new” content strategy.
We’re doing a mid-year reset, and I’m asking you the hard-but-necessary questions that most people avoid. Like:
✅Are you actually where you want to be right now?
✅ What’s keeping you stuck—messaging, mindset, or (let’s be real) messy systems?
✅ Are you spinning in busy work instead of strategic action?
If you’ve been feeling behind, this episode is the permission slip and the push you didn’t know you needed. We’ll walk through what to ditch, what to fix, and how to refocus so you can still make this your most profitable, peaceful, and purposeful year yet.

More Leads Won’t Save Your Business (Here’s What Will)
Think you need more leads to hit consistent $10K months? Think again.
In this episode of Marketing Matchmaker, I’m breaking down the BIG lie that keeps so many service-based entrepreneurs stuck in a cycle of feast and famine: the idea that “more leads” is the magic fix for a slow business.
Spoiler alert: it’s not a lead problem—it’s a leaky bucket problem. And pouring more people into a broken system? That’s just marketing burnout waiting to happen.
If you’ve been tweaking your lead magnet for the 47th time, dancing on Reels with zero DMs, or wondering why no one’s buying your “amazing” offer… this episode is your wake-up call. I’m unpacking why your leads aren’t converting (and what to do about it), how to fix the 3 core systems your business actually needs to grow, and how to finally stop chasing leads and start attracting them.
Perfect for coaches, consultants, creatives, and wellness practitioners who are done duct-taping their business together and ready to build a system that works. Let’s make your marketing finally match your magic.
In this episode, I cover:
✅Why more leads ≠ more clients
✅How to spot the “leaky bucket” in your business
✅The 3 systems every service provider needs to fix before scaling

You don’t need a full-time manager you need a system.
Let’s be real: most of us didn’t start our business because we dreamed of managing people. But here we are juggling contractors, playing air traffic controller for our team, and wondering why the hell we’re still the bottleneck.
In this episode, I’m joined by Eden Lovejoy, creator of the Virtual GM Matrix and author of Activate Your Virtual GM, to talk about building a team that actually runs without you having to run it.
If you're still hiring people just to “get stuff off your plate,” it’s time to rethink the entire strategy. Eden shares the must-haves for building a culture-driven, accountability-powered, low-maintenance team—even if your people are spread across three time zones and work in their yoga pants (just like us).
We’re talking mission, vision, values (yes, really—and not the fluff kind), and how to delegate without feeling like you’re abandoning ship. If you want a business that doesn’t suck the life out of you, this one’s for you.
Listen in and learn how to stop managing and start leading.
