186: Q2 Reset: Why You’re Not Behind & How to Hit Your Goals
Yesterday at 9:00 PM

Q1 didn't go as planned?

In this walk-and-talk episode, Steph makes the case that Q2 is the most overlooked quarter of the year — and the one with the most untapped potential. If you've been quietly counting yourself out, lowering your goals, or telling yourself summer is coming so why bother, this one's for you.

Steph breaks down why "behind" isn't real, what happens to your brain when you shrink your goals at the first sign of resistance, and why the move is never to lower the target.

Eight clients in her Dream Dog program, including complete strangers who found her through her webinar for the first time.

She joined Sold Out Group Programs in October. By January, she had 78 new members in a single month. Her goal had been 40.

In this episode, Steph and Mystie dig into what actually shifted.

If you've been circling a decision to get real support and keep talking yourself out of it, Mystie's story is going to feel very familiar, and very motivating.

180: Why Your Launches Are Never Easy — The Boring Launch Method
02/23/2026

If you've had a rollercoaster relationship with launching, the dopamine spikes, the adrenaline, the crash, you're not doing anything wrong. But you might be addicted to the drama of it.

In this episode, Steph calls herself out after a decade of launching and seven figures in launch revenue, and makes the case for why boring is actually the goal. Because the drama isn't a feature of launching. It's a symptom of not having a system.

You'll hear why your audience should be more engaged during a launch, not less, what "burnt out lists" are really...


179: The Instagram Dashboard Is a Liar (And Other Things Keeping You From Showing Up)
02/19/2026

Steph breaks down why the metrics you can see on Instagram (and every other platform) were never designed to measure whether your content is building your business. They're influencer metrics. And letting them run the show is quietly costing you clients.

You'll learn:

-  the truth about lurkers

- why saturation is not the problem you think it is

- the six elements every piece of sales-magnetizing content needs to hit

- how Steph's client Mara went viral multiple times in 2025 and converted that visibility into high-ticket clients


178: Why Hustle Fills Your Calendar, Not Your Bank Account
02/09/2026

You feel busy all the time, but your bank account doesn't reflect your packed calendar.

In this episode, Steph breaks down the "busy but broke" syndrome that's keeping you from scaling. She reveals why hustle culture fills your schedule but not your revenue goals, and introduces the concept of predictable planning that lets you work smarter, not harder.

Steph shares her own time-tracking wake-up call, how she discovered she was only working 15 hours when she thought she was maxed out at 25, and the simple exercise that will show you where your time is really going.<...

176: Stop Optimizing: It’s Time to Return to What Actually Works
01/26/2026

You're tweaking your launch plan for the third time. You're waiting to feel "clearer" before hitting send. You're reorganizing your Asana board instead of following up with leads.

If this sounds familiar, you're stuck in the optimization trap.

In this episode, Steph breaks down why over-optimization is keeping you from the sales and momentum you want. 

You'll learn the difference between helpful strategy and endless tweaking, plus her simple "decide, do, repeat" framework for taking action when nothing feels ready.

01/20/2026

If you've ever found yourself starting over every year with revenue, chasing new shiny offers, or getting distracted by problems that feel more fun to solve than the boring work that actually moves the needle, this episode will hit different.

You'll hear Steph's four boring rules for 2026.

This isn't about making life less...

173: The Sneakiest Way We Avoid Our Own Potential (and What Becoming Magnetic Actually Requires)
01/06/2026

Ever notice how you can end a day feeling completely drained but not actually closer to your goals?

In this week's episode, Steph gets brutally honest about the sneakiest way capable people avoid their own potential. 

After working harder in 2025 to simply repeat her 2024 revenue, she realized something profound: her brain had been rewarding the feeling of busyness over meaningful progress.

This isn't about shaming yourself for being busy. It's about understanding why magnetism comes from what you stop engaging with, not what you add. 

If you've ever felt like you're ru...


172: The 5-Minute Test That Reveals Why You're Stuck (And How to Get Unstuck)
12/29/2025

If you've ever felt like you're spinning your wheels, working hard but not making meaningful progress, this episode is going to feel like a lightbulb moment.

In this final episode of 2025, Steph shares the pattern she's been seeing with clients: the confusion that comes from skipping the first decision. You're not stuck because you're unmotivated. You're stuck because you haven't defined your direction.

This conversation is a must-listen if you've ever thought:

"I don't know what to focus on next." 

"Should I do this or that? I could try multiple approaches."

171: The Sledding Video That Sold an $8K Client (What Success Really Looks Like)
12/22/2025

In this episode, Steph shares a conversation that completely shifted her perspective on success. An $8K client told her that seeing Steph sledding in her bathrobe while running a multiple six-figure company was what sold her on working together.

Why? Because most of us believe that bigger business means less freedom, more sacrifice, and no time for what matters most.

Steph breaks down why this belief is keeping us small. She reveals how growing her business actually made life easier, not harder, and why the assumption that success requires sacrifice is sabotaging our growth.

12/15/2025

You'll learn:

The three-step process that takes content from idea to published in 10 minutesWhy car videos outperform studio content (and what that means for you)The "finish line strategy" to close mental tabs and focus on revenue-driving activitiesHow to decide what actually matters when your schedule feels shredded

169: Hustle-Free Visibility: How I Filled a Paid Workshop With 150 Buyers While Overseas
12/11/2025

In this behind-the-scenes episode, Steph pulls back the curtain on her most recent launch and shares exactly how she packed her virtual room without the usual hustle. 

While she was literally on a coaching retreat in England, her ads were working around the clock to find new people and fill her stage.

This isn't your typical launch story. Steph breaks down her real numbers including her ad spend that brought in 162 new people in her world and over $18,000 in total revenue (and counting). 

She's finally cracked the code on sustainable visibility.

Yo...


168: Pitchfork Marketing & Ending the "Anti-Coach Era"
12/08/2025

In this week's episode, Steph delivers a fiery hot take that's been brewing all year: the dangerous trend of "pitchfork marketing" and how it's keeping brilliant women small, scared, and self-doubting.

If you've ever seen successful coaches torn apart online, called "scammers" or "predatory" simply for charging premium prices, this episode will hit home. Steph breaks down how this anti-coach rhetoric has become an attention strategy that ironically does more harm than the "predators" it claims to expose.

This conversation is a must-listen if you've ever thought:

"Am I charging too much?

If you want consistent revenue in 2026 but keep hitting the same plateau, this episode is your wake-up call.

You'll hear:

Why looking back is essential before planning forward (and what you're missing when you skip this step)The identity work that makes your plan actually stick instead of falling apart by FebruaryHow to architect your year so every launch builds momentum in...
