    EP18: Regenerative Journaling for Solopreneurs with Lynda Monk

    What if a few minutes with a journal could help you reconnect with yourself, make clearer decisions, and find the energy to keep moving forward in your business? In this episode of the Flow Flex Scale Podcast, Jennifer Britton welcomes Lynda Monk, head of the International Association for Journal Writing, to explore how journaling can help solopreneurs navigate stress, overwhelm, and the many demands of running a business. Lynda describes journaling as more than a place to unload thoughts or document the day's events. It can be a purposeful pause, a way to access your inner knowing, nurture creativity, work through emotions, and create space for new perspectives. In a business environment that continually asks us to produce, respond, and move faster, journaling offers an accessible, low-cost practice for replenishing our internal resources. For solopreneurs, this is an invitation to make space not just for productivity, but for the inner resources that support sustainable growth. In This Episode Why journaling matters for solopreneurs navigating stress and overwhelmJournaling as an accessible, low-cost way to replenish your energy and capacityThe difference between productivity-focused practices and regenerative practicesUsing journaling to support creativity, emotional wellbeing, and decision-makingPrompts for permission, courage, and moving beyond self-imposed limitationsConnecting journaling with the Flow Flex Scale framework* ***Guest Links & Resoures*** Guest Links & Resources Lynda Monk website: https://www.lyndamonk.com/ International Association for Journal Writing website: https://iajw.org/ Save The Date: January 11, 2027 for Journaling with Lynda * ***Host Links & Resources*** * Quick Link to Podcast Websites FlowFlexScale Book: Amazon Link FlowFlexScale Podcast Website: https://flowflexscalepodcast.com FlowFlexScale Resources: https://flowflexscale.com FlowFlexScale Substack: https://flowflexscale.substack.com/ FlowFlexScale YouTube Shorts: https://www.youtube.com/@effectivegroupcoach/shorts * *** Let's Connect Jennifer Calendar Follow, rate, and review FlowFlexScale Podcast! * *** Follow Jennifer Britton LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jenniferjbritton/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/coachingbizbuilder/ TikTok: https:///www.tiktok.com/@groupcoach

    EP15: Making Friends With Fear: Mindset, Small Wins, and Authentic Community for Entrepreneurs with Kristine Goad

    Pick up the new book FlowFlexScale: Amazon Link * What if fear isn’t telling you to stop - but signaling that you’re moving toward something that matters? In this episode of the Flow Flex Scale Podcast, Jennifer Britton continues her conversation with Kristine Goad, the “Surfing Your Edge” Coach, exploring entrepreneurial mindset, fear, inner critics, and what it takes to move forward when the next step feels uncomfortable. Kristine reframes fear as something we can learn to work with rather than something we need to eliminate. She shares the idea of “cautious experiments”... small steps that stretch your comfort zone without requiring you to leap into the unknown. Rather than trying to become fearless, the invitation is to notice fear, get curious about it, and keep moving. * And when it comes to building community? Kristine's advice is simple: be authentic, take a stand, and connect with real people. The right people are more likely to find you when you are willing to clearly express what you believe and create genuine relationships rather than simply chasing visibility. In This Episode Reframing fear as a possible green lightWhy you don't have to become fearless to move forwardUsing “cautious experiments” to expand your comfort zoneUnderstanding the inner voices that tell us to stay safeNaming and dialoguing with your inner criticWhy small wins can be especially helpful for neurodivergent entrepreneursBuilding momentum instead of always starting with the hardest taskWhy flow can sometimes emerge through friction ***Guest Links & Resources*** Substack: https://kristine.substack.com Website: https://kristinegoad.com  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/kristinegoad YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@KristineGoad  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kristinegoad  ***Host Links & Resources*** Quick Link to Podcast Websites FlowFlexScale Book: Amazon Link FlowFlexScale Podcast Website: https://flowflexscalepodcast.com FlowFlexScale Resources: https://flowflexscale.com FlowFlexScale Substack: https://flowflexscale.substack.com/ *** Let's Connect Jennifer Calendar Follow, rate, and review FlowFlexScale Podcast! *** Follow Jennifer Britton LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jenniferjbritton/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/coachingbizbuilder/ TikTok: https:///www.tiktok.com/@groupcoach

    Pick up the new book FlowFlexScale: Amazon Link * What happens when you realize the life or career you’ve been trying to fit into simply doesn’t fit you? * In this episode of the Flow Flex Scale Podcast, Jennifer Britton welcomes Kristine Goad, the “Surfing Your Edge” coach, for a conversation about entrepreneurship, fear, self-discovery, and finding a way of working that fits who you are. * Kristine shares her winding path toward solopreneurship, exploring interests in science, advocacy, and writing before recognizing that no traditional job description could hold all the things she wanted to bring together. At 29, a cross-country bike trip helped her “fall in love” with herself. But returning home brought an unexpected challenge: how to integrate that expanded sense of self into everyday life. * Along the way, they explore the importance of working with your natural rhythms, choosing persistence over consistency, and supporting neurodivergent and visionary entrepreneurs. Kristine shares how she helps clients hold onto their bigger vision while identifying small, practical next steps that move them forward. * At the heart of this conversation is an invitation to stop waiting until fear disappears or the entire path becomes clear. * In This Episode Christine’s winding path from science and advocacy to writing and entrepreneurshipHow a cross-country bike trip at 29 helped Christine reconnect with herselfRecognizing that no traditional career box was going to fitUsing life experiments to explore new possibilities and expand comfort zonesWhy persistence may matter more than consistencyWorking with natural rhythms rather than forcing a rigid approachSupporting neurodivergent and visionary entrepreneurs*** ***Guest Links & Resources*** Substack: https://kristine.substack.com Website: https://kristinegoad.com  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/kristinegoad YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@KristineGoad  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kristinegoad  *** Free gift: Surf Your Edge: From Fear to Freedom This complete chapter from Confident You: The Raw Conversations traces two adventures, twenty years apart, and explores fear, identity, and why the real work of a life-changing experience begins after you come home.

    EP11: Visibility and AI SEO: Staying Findable in the New Search Era with Denise Wakeman (Part One)

    What does it take to stay visible when the way people search and the way they find businesses is changing so quickly? In this episode, Jennifer Britton welcomes Denise Wakeman, digital marketing strategist and visibility expert, for a conversation about how visibility has evolved from the early days of blogging and social media to today's AI-powered search landscape. Denise explains what changed when ChatGPT launched in 2022 and why traditional SEO is no longer the whole visibility story. While many of the fundamentals of SEO still matter, search engines and AI tools are increasingly answering questions directly through AI-generated summaries, meaning people may find the information they need without ever clicking through to a website. If you're wondering whether people can still find you online in an AI-driven search world, this episode offers practical ways to think differently about visibility and make your expertise easier to discover.
