    115. 6 Ways I Design My Business Around My Large Family

    So -- crazy story.  I recorded this entire episode while I was in active labor. I didn't even know it yet. I had one day left to record a training for a friend's summit, contractions started, and I just thought "it's fine, it's early labor, I'll pause when I need to." So that's what I did, for over an hour. I edited out a bunch of minute and a half pauses where I was literally breathing through contractions. Sent the file off, and a few hours later my daughter was born in an ambulance on the side of the road, delivered by my husband. Wild story for another day, maybe. But it's honestly the perfect backdrop for what I'm covering in this episode, because if there's ever proof that "waiting for the right season" to build your business is a myth, it's this. That season is never coming. You have to build your business around your actual life, right now, chaos and all. So in this episode I'm walking you through the exact framework I use to run my business with a house full of kids (including my baby daughter, born literally hours after recording this). Not "someday" advice. What I am literally doing right now, days out from a newborn. Here's what you'll walk away with: The 100/50/10 rule I use to figure out what actually needs my brain (and what can happen while I'm wiping butts, literally)Why I ditched weekly live calls in my membership and what I do insteadMy "Emerald City" offer strategy that keeps money coming in even while I'm on maternity leaveWhy I design for my worst week, not my best one, and why that's the only plan that actually holds upThe one question that shifted me from reactive to proactive in my business AND my lifeResources mentioned: CEO Mom Collective membership: yaelbendahan.com/ceomomcollectiveDM "planner" on Instagram @theyaelbendahan for my CEO Mom weekly plannerMy friend Briana's C5 assessment to help you identify the primary place your business is leaking momentumLINKS 📈The CEO MOMS Growth Matrix - feeling stuck or plateaued at your current revenue?

    114. Designing Programs That Align With You AND Your Clients - BTS of My CEO Mom Collective

    So this episode is a little different. I'm currently very pregnant, less than a week from my due date, sitting in my office telling you the real behind the scenes of how and why I built the CEO Mom Collective the way I did. Not the trendy way. Not the "everyone else is doing it this way" way. The way that actually works for my life right now, with a house full of kids and a business I refuse to let eat me alive. This isn't just a "come join my membership" episode either (though... you should). It's actually a masterclass in how to think about EVERY offer in your business. Because here's the question I want you asking yourself the whole time you listen: am I building this for what's trendy or what my friend is doing, or for what actually works for me and the person on the other end? What You'll Learn: Why I ditched weekly Zoom calls (and what I do instead that works better for busy moms in every time zone)The real reason I chose Slack over a Facebook group, and why voice notes changed how I coach completelyWhat makes a membership actually scalable instead of falling apart the second it growsWhy "just a content library" is the laziest kind of membership and what I built insteadThe difference between the Collective and my Mastermind, and how to know which one is actually for youThe exact question you need to ask about every single offer you're building right nowMentioned in This Episode: CEO Mom Collective (founding rate ending soon, price increases from $97/month to $147/month after July 13th)CEO Mom Mastermind (get on the waitlist here)CTA Mentioned: DM or email Yael the word "loom" on Instagram @theyaelbendahan, tell her where you are in your business and where you want to be by December, and she'll send a personalized Loom walking you through it.

    [REPLAY] Successful Sales Strategies for CEO Moms in 2026

    Okay so real talk... things in the online space feel WEIRD right now, right? One minute you're hearing "nothing's working anymore" and the next someone's making a million bucks in 72 minutes flat. (Yap Challengers, unite!) So which is it?? This week I'm pulling back the curtain on a training I ran a couple weeks ago (yep, this is a replay, and yes I'm sharing it publicly because it was just too good to keep locked away). I dug into what's actually working for successful business owners (especially moms!) in 2026, and spoiler: it's not what you think. I'm coming to you from a pretty intense season too. My sister was in a bad car accident days before I recorded this, I'm currently 2 weeks away from having baby #7, and somehow I'm still here showing up. Because that's kind of the whole point of what I teach... building a business that doesn't fall apart when life does. Here's what I'm breaking down for you: The ONE thing successful business owners are doing differently right now (hint: it's not posting more)Why "courses are dead" is a lie people tell themselves, and what's actually replacing generic info productsThe Costco rotisserie chicken strategy for your offer suite (you'll get it when you hear it)A client story where she went from 2 sales to 12 sales just by changing ONE thing about her launchWhy automating your backend too early might be killing your salesMy "minimum viable marketing" rhythm that kept $8K/month coming in during my most chaotic, traumatized, nauseous first trimester everThis one's part strategy, part permission slip to stop hustling like it's 2018.

    113. What the BSB and Hilary Duff Can Teach You About Marketing

    The Backstreet Boys are everywhere. The Jonas Brothers brought out Jesse McCartney, JoJo, and Demi Lovato on tour. Hilary Duff is back. And grown adults with mortgages and probably some form of joint pain are screaming like it's 2006 in Claire's. Clearly, as a marketer, I couldn't just sit back and enjoy -- I had to figure out why it was working. And what I found is a marketing mechanism that literally changes people's emotional state — and you can use it whether your audience is into boy bands or has never heard of Jesse McCartney in their life. This episode is about nostalgia marketing. Not the surface-level "reference old stuff" version. The actual psychological reason it moves people from skeptical to sold. In this episode: Why nostalgia isn't just a generational trick — it works on every human brain, full stopWhat's actually happening when a Jonas Brothers crowd goes feral (and why it matters for your content)The research on nostalgia and willingness to spend money — it's not subtle5 ways to bring this into your marketing right now, none of which require a Backstreet Boys referenceWhy vague origin stories don't land — and what emotional specificity actually doesThe comeback arc and why you should never quietly reappear after time awayIf your content feels like it's landing flat even when you're showing up consistently, this one's for you.

    112. Creating Sales Momentum After a Hard Season

    You don't need perfect conditions to make sales. You just need the right plan. Easier said than done, I know. But hear me out. Six weeks ago I was 27 weeks pregnant and coming off a long season of pulling way back on selling. And I decided it was time to get back into motion — not because everything was calm and perfect, but because I know something about sales that took me years to learn. This episode is that thing. I'm breaking down the three "marketing crops" I use to think about my sales ecosystem — herbs, vegetables, and trees — and sharing the real mindset shifts that got me back into selling momentum after a hard season. This framework works whether you have 10 hours a week or two. Whether it's summer, a holiday, a hard week, or all three at once. If you've been telling yourself you'll sell more when things calm down... this one's for you. In this episode: The 3 types of marketing activities and which one to start with when you need cash NOWWhy motivation doesn't come before action (and what actually does)The value of accountability in sales even if you technically KNOW what to doThe "conviction reset" I do every morning before I start workingWhat my client did on the last day of her launch that got her 10 sales — all from personal conversationsWhy summer is actually the best time to plant (not pause)Resources + Links Mentioned: Summer Sales Intensive: yaelbendahan.com/summersalesMoney Map: yaelbendahan.com/moneymapCEO Mom Diaries FREE Telegram Broadcast: yaelbendahan.com/diariesInstagram: yaelbendahan.com/instaLoved this episode?

    111. How I Turned a $27 Offer Into $100K — And How to Literally Build a Funnel That Sells While You Sleep

    Have you ever looked at your business and thought "I need a whole new offer, a whole new funnel, a whole new strategy" — when actually, you just need a smarter entry point? Yeah. Been there. Built a better funnel instead. In this episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on one of my favorite business wins: how a $27 workshop led to over $100K in backend sales — including an $18K VIP client — without a complicated tech setup, without sales calls, and without starting from scratch. I'm walking you through the exact 4-part framework I used to build a low-to-high-ticket funnel from stuff I already had. And trust me, if you're a busy mom running a business in between everything else, this is the kind of strategy that was made for you. In this episode: The $27 workshop that led to a $10K upgrade (and how 10% of buyers converted — without a single sales call)Why your next offer doesn't need to be new — it needs to be strategicThe difference between a "micro" and "macro" entry point (and how to pick the right one for your high ticket offer)How to connect your low-ticket offer to your premium program in a way that feels natural, not pushyThe follow-up strategy that keeps your funnel working long after launch dayIf you're ready to stop leaving money on the table and start building something that sells while you sleep, this episode is for you.

    110. 3 Steps To Your Best Summer Ever as a CEO Mom in 2026

    Every May, the panic hits. The kids' school schedule is imploding, your calendar looks like a snack list exploded on it, and suddenly you're realizing... oh. Summer is in like three weeks. And if you're anything like most mom entrepreneurs, your "summer business plan" is basically: vibe and hope. Which — girl, same energy but not a strategy. This episode is the wake-up call you need before you either disappear all summer OR burn yourself out trying to hustle through it. I'm walking you through my 3-part Summer Sales Plan — the exact framework I've used through multiple summers (and yes, three summer maternity leaves) to make money without losing my mind. The truth is, the moms who actually have a calm, profitable summer didn't work harder. They just planned earlier. And the best time to plan is right now. In this episode: The sneaky mindset mistake that makes you think nobody buys in summer (hint: you're projecting your own chaos onto your clients)What a "pre-sell" actually looks like when you're not into big complicated launchesThe nurture journey strategy that keeps your audience warm even when you're running at 40% capacityWhy September feels like rebuilding from scratch — and what to do right now so it doesn'tHow I made money while nursing a newborn (and how you can set that up too)Resources mentioned: Summer Sales Intensive — 4 spots only — DM "SUMMER" to me on Instagram: instagram.com/theyaelbendahanMoney Map - Get my eyes on your business and personalized marketing strategy and offer positioning angles for less than $100 - yaelbendahah.com/moneymapLINKS 📈The CEO MOMS Growth Matrix - feeling stuck or plateaued at your current revenue?

    109. 5Xing Her Sales in 1 Day - What's Working for Sales in 2026 (Mastermind BTS)

    You did everything right. You emailed, you pre-sold, you showed up all week long. Day 6 of your launch: two sales. Sound familiar? Before you blame your offer, rewrite your sales page, or spiral into "maybe nobody actually wants this" — I want to share something that came up on our final CEO Mom Mastermind call that made me feel both extremely validated and also super excited to share with you. One of my clients went from 2 sales to 12 in a single day. And the thing she did differently? It wasn't a new funnel. It wasn't a fancy email sequence. It was so simple it's almost annoying. In this episode I'm breaking down: What she did on the last day that 5x'd her resultsThe real reason people weren't buying (it's not what you think)How to add personal touchpoints to your sales process without living on ZoomWhat separates the people who survive hard seasons from those who don'tWhy the slow burn actually IS the buildIf your launches have felt harder this year, this one's for you.
