You didn’t start your business to feel trapped by it. But somewhere along the way, the passion that once lit you up got buried under the endless to-do lists, late nights, and the pressure to keep up with everyone else’s version of success.
It’s time to change that.
Welcome to @The Simplified CEO – the podcast for ambitious, service-based business owners who are ready to strip away the overwhelm, simplify their strategy, and build a business (and life) they actually love again.
Hosted by Claire Bartlett, award-winning business mentor, speaker, and creator of the R.E.S.E.T.™ Framework, each episode feels like a heart-to-heart with a friend who gets it. Expect raw truth, simple strategies, and the mindset shifts that will help you reignite your energy, find clarity, and grow a profitable business without burning out.
If you’re tired of overcomplicating your growth, second-guessing every decision, and wondering if you should just “burn it all down,” this is your safe space to reset, rebuild, and rise.
So get comfy, hit follow, grab your coffee, and let’s simplify your way to success.

How to Get Featured in Forbes With Less Than 200 Followers | Ep 065
PR can feel like this intimidating, insider-only world - like you need a degree, a giant following, or a publicist just to get noticed. But today’s guest is here to bust that myth wide open.
Jenna Farmer is a PR expert and ex-journalist who built her own path into the media - starting with a personal blog and ending up in top publications like Forbes. In this episode, she shares how she turned her story into press-worthy content and now helps other small business owners do the same (even those with less than 200 followers).
We dive into:
What press and PR actually is (hint: it’s not just magazines and TV)
The biggest misconceptions that stop business owners from pitching
How to pitch like a human, not a headline machine
The red flags to watch out for with shady “PR” offers
How to use your press coverage after it goes live to build trust and sales
We also unpack the emotional side of stepping into visibility, the fears of being misquoted, why many of us still carry limiting beliefs from the 9–5 world, and how PR can be a tool for advocacy, not just attention.
Whether you’re product-based, service-based, brand new, or deep in your journey, if you’ve ever wondered how people “get featured,” this one will shift your whole perspective.
