    #199: How To Step Into Your Feminine Leadership Era with Lisa Malia Norman

    What if there were a way to lead with more sustainability and fulfillment (and leave the burnout behind)? My guest for this episode, Lisa Malia Norman, explains how Feminine Leadership is rooted in intuition, intentionality, and authenticity. Instead of pushing through burnout or following traditional, patriarchal models of success, feminine leadership invites us to trust our inner wisdom and create regenerative outcomes that sustain us, rather than deplete us. Lisa shares how her journey in corporate and as a breast cancer survivor lead her to founding supportive communities and leadership programs for women. We discuss how creating intentional community spaces for and with women—like women’s circles and masterminds—allows women to shed old expectations, be seen authentically, and step into new leadership roles that are aligned with their values and desires. The episode is filled with actionable insights on bringing more joy, clarity, and purpose into your life and work, simply by leading in a way that honors your whole self. If you’re ready to move beyond hustle culture and explore a leadership style that’s more compassionate, cyclical, and community-focused, this conversation will inspire you to tap into your innate power and begin leading from a more regenerative place. In this episode, you’ll learn: The power of dedicated communities for women- for genuine support and connectionHow to navigating burnout and honoring your true capacity as a creative, leader, and humanHow to move from the toxic “hustle and grind” culture to regenerative, sustainable leadership and livingWhy creative business owners need spaces to lay down the masks and be seen as they are Links: Get the FREE Audio-First Podcasting Action Plan More from Lisa Malia Norman: Visit: https://www.lisamalia.co/ Listen: Sacred Purpose Podcast Programs: https://www.evokeleadershipinstitute.co/ More episodes on this topic: Explore more episode at https://www.boss-goddess.co/podcast Thank you so much for listening!

    #198: How To Start Using Pinterest to Build Your Business

    If you're building a business that is rooted in intuition, soul and strategy - then in this episode, I'll be sharing an intuitive way to plan your brand using Pinterest—no social media overwhelm required. We'll learn why Pinterest is a unique tool for inspiration and organic growth, and that it actually works more like a search engine than a traditional social platform - the so-called Pinterest "algorithm" in 2026 is driven by intent. Meaning, they are valuing pins that leverage phrases that mirror what someone might actually be searching for, and the more specific and niche the better! This is also especially good news if you're planning on using Pinterest to share your podcast. Of course, we're starting with some reflective journaling, so you can gain clarity, collect resources, and shape your business vision in a way that truly feels good to you. Whether you're dreaming up a new idea or refreshing your current brand, get ready for actionable tips, personal insights, and permission to explore, play, and trust your process. In this episode, you’ll learn: How Pinterest can serve as a soulful alternative for brand building—beyond typical social media hustleA unique Pinterest process for vision boarding and intuitive journaling to clarify your business dreams and creative projectsHow to approach marketing and strategy intuitively, leveraging long-form content for aligned, sustainable growthHow to set yourself up now - by organizing inspiration and resources visually (and practically) for easier action later Links: Get the FREE Audio-First Podcasting Action Plan Visit for more Boss-Goddess episodes: https://www.boss-goddess.co/podcast Follow me on Pinterest: @bossgoddessbarsi Thank you so much for listening!

    #197: Podcasting For Authors: How to Create A Platform with Podcasting with Laura Cathcart Robbins

    If you're an author or an aspiring author - developing an engaged community around your work has become a necessary asset whether you're self-publishing or pitching major publishers. My former podcast production agency client, Laura Cathcart Robbins, peels back the curtain on how we leveraged podcasting not just as a creative outlet, but as an intentional launching pad for her writing career and public platform. After Laura received the hard truth from an agent that "no one knows who you are" and that memoir is the hardest genre to publish without visibility, Laura Cathcart Robbins embraced podcasting as part of her author journey. With myself (Christina Barsi) as her executive producer and strategist, we created "The Only One in the Room" podcast to build credibility, create an engaged audience, develop her personal brand platform as an author and support her memoir-writing-style weekly in how we crafted the podcast's format and feel. The Only One In The Room became a top 1% podcast globally with millions of downloads and Laura Cathcart Robbins not only got a book deal with her favorite publisher - she became a best-seller with her memoir "Stash". If you’re curious about how launching a show can become the springboard for bringing your book-writing dreams to life - this one's for you.
