    MWH 542 : Strategic Storytelling How to Share Your Story Without Oversharing

    There is a version of "being authentic" on social media that is quietly costing women business owners their sales, their authority, and their ability to lead their community well. And almost no one is naming it. In this episode, I unpack the difference between strategic storytelling that serves your audience and the kind of oversharing that just serves you. I share the 2016 season where authenticity became my word of the year, the Brene Brown moment that cracked me open, and my own honest confessions about the vulnerability hangovers I have had along the way. I lean on two of my favourite teachers, Dale Carnegie's 'How to Win Friends and Influence People' and Arnold Schwarzenegger's 'Be Useful', to show you why your audience is not following you for your problems, they are following you for theirs. Then I walk you through the exact 5-question filter I run every piece of storytelling content through before it goes anywhere near my Instagram, my emails, or my podcast. This is the same checklist my neurodivergent mentees tell me they love, because there is nothing to read between the lines. If you are a coach, a course creator, a practitioner, a creative or a digital service provider and you have been wondering why kind comments are not turning into customers, this episode is for you. Take a listen, then come tell me what shifted. Xx Tracy Send us Fan Mail This podcast is brought to you by Tracy Harris.

    MWH 541 : It's Not Always Summer in Business (And That's Ok)

    Have you ever had a massive creative surge, taken bold aligned action, and then a week later found yourself in a total funk? You're not broken. You're not regressing. The pendulum just swung. In this episode, I'm sharing a concept I recently unpacked with a high-level private client: polarity. The entire universe is built on opposites. Night and day. Summer and winter. High tide and low. And your business journey is no different. The problem isn't that the low comes. The problem is that we make big decisions from it. In this episode you'll learn: Why every peak in business is followed by a valley (and why that's actually a sign you're growing)How to recognise when your "old self" is trying to creep back inWhy Brené Brown's insight on emotions is the most practical business advice you'll hear todayThe one question to ask yourself when you're in a low that shifts everythingThis is a short, punchy episode with a perspective that I genuinely believe will change the way you experience the hard seasons in your business.

    MWH 540 : She Had 200 Email Subscribers. 12 Months Later She Had 10,000. The Tess Thompson Story

    A year ago, two people showed up to Tess's webinar. Today her online Pilates membership for women over 50 has 430 members, a 10,000-person email list, and launches that convert at 18%. In this member story, Tess and Tracy unpack exactly how it happened: the niche she was scared to claim, the Million Dollar Message™ that named her webinar, the belief she dismantles in every ad, the phone calls that convert over 50%, and the identity shift from content creator to business owner.

    MWH 539 : How to Sell Your First Online Programme to Five People

    You do not need fifty women in your first programme. You need five. In this episode of The Mums With Hustle® Podcast, Tracy walks you through how to sell your first online programme to five right-fit women, the kind of women whose results become the proof that powers everything you launch after this one. Most coaches, practitioners, and creatives sabotage their first launch by aiming for numbers that create pressure, then overwhelm, then a launch so diluted nobody notices. The fix is not a bigger audience. The fix is sharper messaging and a smaller, more intentional target. Inside, Tracy shares: Why aiming for five is the smartest first-launch decision you can makeThe five pieces of messaging you must write before you share the offer with anyoneFive marketing strategies that fill a small launch with right-fit women, including the one most launch coaches skipThe real mentee story where 2,200 Instagram followers turned into ten paying coaching clientsIf you have been sitting on a programme idea and freezing every time you think about filling it, this is the episode that gets you moving. Tracy also invites you to her Million Dollar Message™ workshop on Tuesday 9 June, where you will build the messaging foundation for your offer in 90 minutes.

    MWH 538 : You Do Not Have A Visibility Problem. You Have A Translation Problem

    You are showing up. The engagement is fine. People tell you they love your content. So why is your inbox so quiet 🦗, and why are the inquiries you do get from people who cannot afford you or are not ready? In this episode of The Mums With Hustle® Podcast, I am pushing back on the most overused piece of advice in online business: "just be more visible". Most of you do not have a visibility problem. You have a translation problem. Your buyer is scrolling past because the words you are using are not the words she uses inside her own head. Being more visible with fuzzy messaging just amplifies the issue. I walk you through the three signs your messaging is off (and not your visibility), why posting more is the absolute worst response to a messaging gap, and the three jobs your content has to do so your buyer takes action. I also share a story about one of my mentees who shifted just one part of her positioning and watched her programmes start to fill. This is the foundational work we do inside Freedom Filled® Business Mentorship. Your Million Dollar Message™ becomes the lead domino for everything else: your offers, your launches, your email list, your DMs. If you have been feeling depleted by showing up with words that are not landing, this one is for you.

    MWH 537 : Stuck in the Freeze : How to Move Forward After a Hard Client Experience

    What do you do when a past experience is quietly running the show in your beautiful business? One of my mentees inside the Freedom Filled® Business Mentorship recently came to me wanting to launch a new group programme. But she was stuck in the freeze. Overthinking. Self doubt. Imposter syndrome. Procrastination that looks productive but moves nothing forward. Underneath it all was a wound from a previous client who questioned her character and her capability. In this episode, I coach right through it. We unpack why the freeze always has an avoided emotion underneath it, why nothing grows from stagnation, and the reframe that finally gets you moving: you cannot stuff up your next move. I share the brave question we sometimes need to sit with (could the client have been right?), the responsibility we carry to keep upskilling, and why staying in your lane is not just important, it is essential. I also share why your messaging is 9 times out of 10 the real problem, why putting time pressure on yourself makes you slower, not faster, and how leaders are forged in the hard seasons. This is for the coaches, course creators, practitioners, creatives, and digital service providers building freedom-filled® businesses. You get to decide who you become when a challenge arises.

    MWH 536 : The Entrepreneurship Boom: 1 in 3 Adults Want To Start An Online Business (and What This Means For You)

    The numbers are in for 2026, and they are extraordinary. One in three US adults plan to start a business or side hustle in the next twelve months. In Australia, one in four. 65% of aspiring founders say they will use AI to launch. Entrepreneurship is officially the number one wealth-building strategy heading into 2026, outranking saving, investing, and working harder at a traditional job. In this episode, I sit with what this shift actually means for the women listening. Because when I started over ten years ago, recording podcasts in 30-degree heat with a baby on my hip, building an online business as a mother was taboo. The narrative has changed. And the women quietly building the most sustainable businesses right now are the ones in their 40s and 50s, with wisdom, expertise, and a body of work earned the hard way. You will hear the story of Selma, a psychologist who joined Freedom Filled® Business Mentorship and sold out her first group programme before she even built it. After three years of feeling stuck, three weeks of clear structure changed everything. Whether you are a coach, a practitioner, a creative, a teacher, or any kind of expert with a methodology that gets results, this episode is your sign. The market has never been more ready. The cultural permission has never been stronger. And the model to scale your expertise into a freedom-filled® group programme is here. Apply at https://tracyharris.co/ffb.

    MWH 535 : The Gratitude Lesson That Changed Everything

    What if a kids' gratitude worksheet held the key to shifting your entire energy? Today I'm sharing a lesson I taught my boys during homeschool in Bali. It was simple. Four prompts on a page. But instead of letting them rush through it, I asked them to slow down, to feel it, to bring images and emotion to each answer. And honestly? I needed it just as much as they did. In this episode, I walk you through the four gratitude prompts, share real examples from our morning (including a family beach walk that made me emotional), and explain why gratitude is scientifically the highest frequency you can experience. This isn't about being positive for the sake of it. It's about recognising that the ordinary moments you're living right now are the ones you once dreamed of. If you're in a season of frustration, scarcity thinking, or just feeling flat, this episode will help you come back to centre. I also share how gratitude fits inside my F.R.E.S.H. framework, which is part of Freedom Filled® Business, my year-long mentorship for women building businesses without losing themselves in the process. Press play. Grab a cuppa. And let's get grateful together. Send us Fan Mail This podcast is brought to you by Tracy Harris.
