Send us Fan Mail In a first for the show, Rachael sits down with not one but two guests — Kelly Bush and Kelly Metras — co-founders of Bossy Rochester, a support group and community for women business owners in the Rochester, NY region. What started as two friends venting over happy hour has grown into an organization with hundreds of members, seminars, conferences, and a sister podcast, "Getting Real with Bossy." They dig into why community matters more than competition, what it really takes...

Send us Fan Mail What We Talk About You've poured your heart into an offer. You know it's good. You launch it and then... nothing. Rachael sits down with offer expert Lori Young to talk about why killer offers flop (spoiler: usually not because the offer itself sucks) and what actually matters when you're designing something people want to buy. Topics include: positioning, personality-driven branding, your core genius, contrarian POVs, and why you need a methodology to back up your authori...

Send us Fan Mail Rachael's back solo this week after a guest fell through — and it turns out there was plenty to talk about anyway.

Plus: a new self-imposed challenge to do *some*thing in 70 days... you'll have to listen to find out what it is. Also in this episode: Why she's recording weekl...

Send us Fan Mail Why do most podcasts die before episode 10? In this candid episode, Rachael pulls back the curtain on what it's actually like to podcast solo — the stops and starts, the editing burnout, the "wait, is this even good?" spiral, and her four-year on-and-off relationship with this very show you're about to listen to. (Right... RIGHT?? YOU'RE GOING TO LISTEN TO IT, RIIIIIGHTTT??) You won't find expert advice here or perfectly scripted takeaways — just an honest look at what it tak...

Send us Fan Mail In this episode: Rachael unpacks the "three P's" — how perfectionism shows up as armor (not excellence), why pivoting requires moving before you have it all figured out, and why clarity actually lives in conversation with other people, not in your own head. If you're simply looking for permission to go make moves, make sure you listen to the end... where Rachael hands out ALLLL the permission slips you could ever need to go forth and do the thing you want to do. Mentioned in...

Send us Fan Mail Well, a few weeks ago I sat through what I thought was going to be a promising "training" and all it ended up being was 2 hours of my life that I never got back.

Do you agree with my red flags? Do you have more? Then join the discussion over at my community, Do What You Want. Need help wi...

Send us Fan Mail This is the episode where it all begins (again). I'm sharing the story behind a vision I had about a year ago — one that sent me on a wild 60-day challenge — and why I believe that little nagging voice in your head deserves your full attention. What's in this episode: Why I almost didn't restart this podcast (and what finally pushed me to do it anyway)The vision I had sitting in my car after a referral group meeting — and how I decided to actually follow it and make it come t...

We talk about: How to decode false fear vs. real fear (and why you get stuck in the fake kind)What a horse can tell you about your marketing plan (yes, really)Why your body al...
