    Episode 78 - How Social Media Changed - and What to Do About It Now

    Social media didn't always look like this… and if you've been feeling a little whiplash trying to keep up, you're not alone. In this solo episode, I'm taking you down memory lane — from the early days of Facebook (hello, curated family albums and "it's hot outside" captions 😅), through the aesthetic Instagram era, all the way to today's messy, real, personality-driven platforms.     We'll talk about: How social media has evolved (and why that matters) Why polished + generic isn't working anymore What's actually cutting through the noise right now The mistake so many people are making by trying to "say something new" Why repeating yourself, telling your story, and showing up as you is the strategy     If social media feels louder, faster, and more crowded than ever — this episode will help you simplify, refocus, and understand how to create content that connects and converts without burning out.  This isn't about chasing trends. It's about building a lead flow system that works in real life.     Need some extra help? We got you. ✨ Lead Flow Lab If you're ready to stop guessing what to post and start building a marketing system that actually creates conversations, connections, and sales,  Lead Flow Lab is where we go deep.     Inside, we break down: What content attracts vs. what converts How to simplify your messaging How to create consistent lead flow without being glued to your phone     👉 Sign up for Lead Flow Lab HERE   If This Episode Hit Home… Take a second and ask yourself: Am I trying to sound like everyone else? Or am I letting people hear me? Don't overthink it. Don't do it perfectly. Just keep going. And if this episode helped you, I'd love it if you: shared it with a friend took a screenshot and tagged me on Instagram or left a quick review so more women can find this show You're not behind.

    Episode 77 - Falling Back in Love with Network Marketing

    There's a moment almost every network marketer hits… When the spark fades. The excitement feels heavy. And you quietly wonder, "Is it just me… or am I falling out of love with this?" In this episode of The Ambition Coalition, Rebekah and Melissa get real about what it looks like to fall back in love with network marketing—not through hype, pressure, or pretending everything is perfect, but through ownership, maturity, and alignment.   We talk about the seasons where the business feels boring, frustrating, or disconnected… and why those moments don't mean you're failing—they mean you're growing. We unpack the lie that a different upline, downline, or company would magically fix everything, and instead explore the confidence that comes when you build your own systems, rhythms, and leadership style.   This conversation is about: • Moving from emotional dependence to empowered ownership • Rebuilding belief through action, not motivation • Creating systems that actually support your life (not consume it) • Why "falling back in love" looks different than when you first started—and that's a good thing   And if this episode is hitting close to home… here's your next step.   👉 If you want to make sure you receive all the downloads, emails, and resources for the Falling Back in Love with Network Marketing challenge happening this week, sign up HERE.   This challenge is designed to help you rekindle the spark, reconnect with your "why," and start creating momentum again—without pressure or perfection.   👉 And if you want more information on Six-Figure Systems—our deeper training for building sustainable systems, confidence, and leadership in your business—you can find that HERE.   If you've felt disconnected from your business… If you've questioned whether you still have what it takes… Or if you're craving a steadier, more grounded relationship with the work you're building…     This episode is for you.   You're not behind. You're not broken. And you're not meant to white-knuckle your way through this season.   Sometimes, falling back in love doesn't mean starting over—it means finally stepping into ownership.   🎧 Listen now—and make sure you're signed up so you don't miss a thing.   The Ambition Coalition Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/the.ambition.coalition/     Follow Rebekah on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/rebekahfowlkes/     Follow Melissa on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/melissaeickenhorst     Podcast Produced by clantoncreative.com

    Episode 76 - Action Is Self-Trust in Motion

    So many women think they're stuck because they don't know what to do.   But most of the time, that's not the real issue.   In this episode, Melissa and Rebekah unpack why action breaks down after the plan is made — and why hesitation, overthinking, and waiting often have nothing to do with laziness or lack of discipline.   They talk honestly about: -Why action has quietly become conditional -How emotions like confusion, overwhelm, and self-doubt derail momentum -Why self-trust, not motivation, is the real driver of consistency -How small, uncomfortable decisions shape your identity over time   This conversation is not about doing more or pushing harder. It's about learning how to lead yourself when it feels uncomfortable — and why the women who build lasting momentum are the ones who act even when they don't feel ready.   If you've ever felt like you're circling the same mountain, starting over every few months, or waiting for clarity that never quite comes, this episode will help you understand what's really happening — and what to do next.   Ready to build real consistency and follow-through?   Melissa and Rebekah's Six Figure Systems is a 6-month mentorship designed to help you stop relying on motivation and start building sustainable systems for action, conversations, leadership, and growth.   Doors close tomorrow.   👉 Learn more and join HERE:     If this episode spoke to you, rate and review the podcast so more women can find conversations like this — and share it with someone who's ready for more peace and less pressure.     The Ambition Coalition Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/the.ambition.coalition/     Follow Rebekah on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/rebekahfowlkes/     Follow Melissa on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/melissaeickenhorst     Podcast Produced by clantoncreative.com

    Episode 75 - QUICKSHOT: Peace

    Peace is something a lot of women say they want in their business — but very few feel consistently.   In this Quick Shot episode, Melissa breaks down why peace doesn't come from doing less or slowing down, but from having systems that support you when life gets loud.   You'll hear why burnout usually isn't about lack of motivation, how mental overload quietly steals momentum, and why businesses built on personality alone always feel fragile. This conversation is about building stability, sustainability, and confidence — even in hard seasons, busy seasons, and everything in between.   Melissa also shares why she and Rebekah are evolving Six Figure Systems in 2026 — shifting it from a 12-week course into a six-month experience designed to give women more time, support, and integration, with a new monthly pricing option to make it more accessible.   If you're craving less chaos, more clarity, and a business that works with your life instead of competing against it, this episode is for you.   ✨ Learn more about Six Figure Systems HERE and head to Instagram and check the highlights for real stories and testimonials from women who've gone through the program.   If this episode spoke to you, rate and review the podcast so more women can find conversations like this — and share it with someone who's ready for more peace and less pressure.     The Ambition Coalition Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/the.ambition.coalition/     Follow Rebekah on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/rebekahfowlkes/     Follow Melissa on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/melissaeickenhorst     Podcast Produced by clantoncreative.com

    Episode 73 - How 2020 Quadrupled My Business and Then Almost Killed It

    2020 brought explosive growth to so many businesses...including ours, but it also quietly wiped out the one thing that makes network marketing sustainable: real, in-person community.   In today's episode, we're unpacking what business looked like before 2020, how everything shifted online overnight, why it took YEARS for leaders to return to in-person gatherings, and the surprising reason many women are still hiding behind screens without realizing it.   If you've felt stuck, disconnected, or unsure how to rebuild momentum in this "post-Zoom" world, this conversation is going to wake something up in you.   🎉 Join Us January 20th — Our First Lead Flow Lab Event of 2026!   On January 20th, we're teaching you how to: • Create daily momentum without guesswork • Find and attract new people consistently • Start conversations that actually go somewhere • Build a marketing rhythm that supports real growth • Stop hiding behind your screen and lead with clarity   It's the perfect way to kick off the year with direction, confidence, and community.   👉 Save your seat HERE!   ✨ If This Episode Spoke to You…   Rate + review the podcast so more women can find conversations like this one.

    Episode 72 - Objections Aren't the Enemy; Misunderstanding Them Is

    Most leaders are taught how to respond to objections… but almost no one is taught how to actually understand them. And that's why so many conversations feel harder, heavier, or more personal than they have to.   In today's episode, we're breaking down what objections really mean, the root causes behind them, and why identifying the why behind the hesitation is the real skill every leader needs. When you understand the root, you stop guessing — and you start leading with confidence, clarity, and calm.   🌟 In This Episode, We Cover: • The three true root causes behind every objection • The emotional drivers that make people hesitate • Why most "money objections" aren't actually about money • How to slow down, listen differently, and uncover what someone really needs • Practical examples of how to support someone without pressure or panic   This conversation will change the way you approach objections — and help you lead women with more compassion, confidence, and emotional intelligence.   🎁 Join Us for the FREE Dream Visualization Mastermind — December 27th!
