    Defeating Sally the Self-Saboteur with Elaine Turso

    Elaine Turso built her business on giving other businesses a makeover — brand, website, and CRM, all pulled into alignment for next-level growth. But before any of that works, you have to actually be visible, and Elaine says the thing standing in the way is rarely strategy. It's self-sabotage. In this episode, she introduces us to "Sally" (yes, her self-sabotage has a name and a very specific parking spot), breaks down how one piece of content can fuel weeks of platform-specific posts without ever feeling repetitive, and shares why chasing likes is a trap most of us fall into anyway. About Elaine Turso Elaine Turso gives your business a makeover, focused on brand, website & CRM, all aligned for next-level growth. She's a Business Makeover Specialist and CRM Collaboration Partner. 🔑 Key Takeaways Self-sabotage is often the real reason people avoid visibility — Elaine names hers "Sally" and has a physical trick (mentally putting her in the trunk of the car) for not letting her drive.One piece of content — a video or blog post — can become the foundation for weeks or months of platform-specific posts, because each platform has a different purpose and deserves different framing.Use AI as an assistant, not a replacement: feed it a transcript for ideas, then rewrite everything in your own voice.Give any new visibility effort a "good college try" — six months minimum — and take a snapshot of your starting numbers so you have something real to measure against.Stop chasing vanity metrics. Comments and shares matter more than likes, because engaging with people who comment pushes your content back out to more people.Every piece of content needs an intention and a clear call to action — posting without one means you won't get a return on it. ✔️ Connect With Elaine Turso Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/elaine.tursoLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/elaineturso/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/elaineturso/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@elainetursoFree gift — The One with the Follow-Up Strategy (video + worksheet): https://www.elaineturso.com/follow-up ✔️ Connect With Host Andrea Stenberg Website: https://www.thebabyboomerentrepreneur.com/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/andreastenberg/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/andreastenberg/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/andreastenberg?sub_confirmation=1Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TheBabyBoomerEntrepreneurFree Courage to Be Visible class: https://my.thebabyboomerentrepreneur.com/courage-to-be-visible-training 💖💖 Love the show?

    The Voice Behind the Voices You Trust

    For 30+ years, Erik K. Johnson has coached radio hosts and podcasters on the one thing most of us skip when we're trying to be visible: being ourselves, out loud, on purpose. In this episode, Erik shares why people don't come back for your six steps to success — they come back for you — and breaks down exactly which stories to tell, how many you actually need, and how to turn a podcast guest spot into real relationships (and real clients). If you've ever felt like you have to "get to the meat" and skip the personal stuff, this conversation will change how you think about your content completely. About Erik K. Johnson The Voice Behind the Voices You Trust – Erik K. Johnson is a nationally recognized talent coach, on-air personality, and radio program director. With a career spanning over three decades, Erik has been at the forefront of radio and podcasting, helping professionals transform their content into compelling narratives so they become someone worth listening to. He has guided countless leaders and presenters to elevate their presence, refine their messaging, and build lasting relationships with listeners. 🔑 Key Takeaways It's not about your content, it's about the context. People come for your six steps to success — they stay and come back for you.There's a difference between personal and private information. Share the story that shaped who you are; you don't have to hand over your whole life.You only need five or six core stories — not fifty — and it's totally fine to repeat them across different podcasts and stages. Different audience, different context, same story.If you're a podcast guest, don't just pitch your show or your book — get listeners onto your email list with a quick, specific lead magnet, or you'll never be able to reach them again."People don't trust perfection." When you try to be who you think you're supposed to be, people can feel it — and it costs you connection.We don't lack information, we lack implementation. Your story is what makes someone believe transformation is possible for them too. ✔️ Connect With Erik K.

    Are you accidentally pitch-slapping your LinkedIn connections? with Mary Wu

    If you've ever sent a connection request and gotten silence back — or been on the receiving end of a sales pitch three seconds after someone accepted your invite — this episode is for you. Andrea sits down with LinkedIn speaker and strategy trainer Mary Wu to talk about what actually works on LinkedIn in 2026: how to DM without being icky, why getting personal on LinkedIn (yes, even about your wedding anniversary) can be your highest-performing content, and how to become the person everyone thinks of when they need an introduction. Mary also shares her rules for video on LinkedIn and why "giving away the farm" might be the smartest business move you make this year. About Mary Wu Mary Wu is a LinkedIn speaker and strategy trainer. She thinks in lyrics, curates connections, and plays with plushies. 🔑 Key Takeaways Don't "pitch slap" — never pitch someone in your first or second DM. Start by getting curious about them instead.LinkedIn rewards personal content in small doses — one well-placed post (like a wedding anniversary or a grandkid announcement) can outperform everything else you post all year, as long as it's not the only thing you talk about.The DMs are underused. When someone comments on your post, that's your invitation to take the conversation deeper.Before reaching out to someone, check their activity — if they haven't posted or commented in months, they're unlikely to respond.Post 3x a week, and don't skip weekends — informal, relaxed posts on Saturday/Sunday can outperform weekday content.Give more than you pitch (aim for roughly 80/20). The people who give the most tend to get the most back — referrals, credibility, and eventually, clients. ✔️ Connect With Mary Wu Website: www.marywuva.comLinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/maryawuInstagram: instagram.com/mary_wu_mavenFree Monthly Workshops: marywuva.com/work-with-mary/workshops ✔️ Connect With Host Andrea Stenberg Website: thebabyboomerentrepreneur.comLinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/andreastenbergInstagram: instagram.com/andreastenbergYouTube: youtube.com/andreastenbergFacebook: facebook.com/TheBabyBoomerEntrepreneurFree gift: Story Videos 💖💖 Love the show?

    Why Visibility Feels So Hard (And How to Stop Sabotaging Yourself)

    In this episode of Courage to Be Visible, I'm joined by Giorgia G, a mindset coach and self-sabotage expert who helps high-achievers stop overworking, overthinking, and overpleasing their way out of the success they're capable of. We trace visibility struggles all the way back to childhood conditioning — the quiet messages so many of us absorbed about not standing out — and dig into the two self-sabotage patterns Giorgia sees most often in entrepreneurs: control and people-pleasing. We also talk about the difference between fear, worry, and misalignment, and why celebrating your wins might be the missing piece in finally feeling the progress you're actually making. If you've ever known exactly what to do but still found yourself freezing the moment the camera turns on, this conversation will help you understand why — and what to do about it. About Giorgia GGiorgia G is a mindset coach specialising in self-sabotage, a multi-passionate entrepreneur, and host of the Unleash Your Freedom podcast. After building a six-figure business, she burned out and watched it all come crashing down. While recovering, she began studying the science of self-sabotage and trained with some of the world's top transformational coaches. She now empowers high-achievers to get out of their own way, so they can stop overworking, overthinking, and overpleasing — and build success without sacrificing themselves or their relationships. 🔑 Key TakeawaysVisibility struggles often trace back to childhood conditioning to fit in and not stand outSelf-sabotage shows up most often as control (doing it all yourself) or people-pleasingNot every block is fear — learning to tell fear, worry, and misalignment apart changes how you move through itYour brain won't register progress unless you stop to celebrate itYou don't have to build your business alone — community and mentorship speed everything up ✔️ Connect With Giorgia GLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/giorgia-guazzarotti/ Website: https://www.thetreasureswithin.net Book a free Strategy Call — identify your sabotaging pattern and create a plan to overcome it: https://tidycal.com/giorgia1/success-without-sabotage ✔️ Connect With Host Andrea StenbergWebsite: https://www.thebabyboomerentrepreneur.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/andreastenberg/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/andreastenberg/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/andreastenberg?sub_confirmation=1 Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/TheBabyBoomerEntrepreneur Grab a copy of Turn Your Everyday Stories Into Videos That Make People Say "That's Me": https://my.thebabyboomerentrepreneur.com/story-videos 💖💖 Love the show?
