    E55: 6-Figure Mom-Friendly Business Model with Nellie Corriveau

    Nellie is offering you an amazing free gift: 250 Viral Worthy Hooks - [CLICK HERE] There’s this quiet lie floating around that if you’re a mom… you have to choose.Family or business.Flexibility or money.Impact or sanity. In this episode, I sit down with Nellie Corriveau also known as Mentor Nellie and we pull that belief apart piece by piece. Nellie is the founder of the Wealthy Mama Movement, a TEDx speaker, public relations expert, and a mom who has built a thriving multi-six-figure business rooted in social media and recurring digital memberships. But what makes this conversation different? She doesn't glamorize hustle.She doesn’t pretend time magically appears.She talks about what actually shifts the game. From transitioning out of the nonprofit world into entrepreneurship… to creating a business model that works with motherhood instead of against it… Nellie shares the real mindset shifts that move the needle. We talk about: • Why a “mom-friendly” business model isn’t optional… it’s strategic• The identity shift required to build a six-figure brand• How to actually “find the time” (yes, even in a busy season)• Why personal responsibility is the turning point most women avoid• Rewiring limiting beliefs and building new neural pathways for success• The power of community and accountability when you’re scaling• Setting goals that stretch you instead of shrink you One of my favorite parts of this conversation is when we break down the myth of “I don’t have time.” Nellie challenges the idea that time is missing… and instead shows how intentional structure creates momentum. Because the truth is this-It’s possible to build a six-figure brand as a mom.But it requires clarity, ownership, and a business model that supports your real life. Nellie also shares details about her Six Figure HQ Membership, designed to help women build scalable, sustainable businesses without burning out. If you’ve ever thought, “I know I’m capable of more… but I don’t know how to make it work with my life,” this episode will hit home.

    E53: Breaking Free from Fear & Building an Impactful Business with Ivana Ivanek

    Entrepreneurship will confront you in ways no 9–5 ever could. And I’m not talking about algorithms or email funnels. I’m talking about the quiet fear that creeps in when you realize you might actually have to be seen. In this episode, I sit down with Ivana Ivanek, mindset coach and business strategist, and we talk about the version of you that has to go if you want to build something impactful. The one who plays small to stay safe. The one who confuses exhaustion with ambition. The one who thinks working harder will finally make her worthy. I’ve seen so many women with real gifts hesitate because of one thing: fear of judgment. Not lack of strategy. Not lack of talent. Fear of what people might say if they actually go for it. Ivana knows that feeling personally. She shares what it was like growing up with expectations… the pressure to honor sacrifice… the belief that success meant following the conventional path. And what happens when your body starts screaming that you’re not meant to live inside someone else’s definition of success. Here’s what we unpack together: The real root of fear in entrepreneurship and why it has nothing to do with your capability. Why playing small feels safe but slowly erodes your confidence. How hustle culture tricks you into thinking burnout is a badge of honor. What hitting rock bottom taught Ivana about resilience and self-trust. Why failure isn’t the opposite of success… it’s the curriculum. If you’ve ever felt guilty for wanting more… If you’ve ever questioned whether you’re cut out for online business… If you’ve ever thought going back to something “safe” might be easier… This conversation will meet you right there. Entrepreneurship isn’t just about building revenue. It’s about becoming someone who can hold vision, criticism, growth, and uncertainty without collapsing under it. And that work starts on the inside. If you’re ready to build an impactful online business without abandoning yourself in the process… press play.

    E52: Mastering Social Media: 20 Million Monthly Views With Eva Kirie

    If you want to grow on social media but feel stuck, inconsistent, or afraid of looking cringey… this episode will shift your perspective. In this conversation, I sit down with social media creator Eva Kirie, who generates over 20 million monthly views across platforms. She shares what actually works when it comes to building a thriving online presence and why authenticity beats perfection every time. This episode is especially for entrepreneurs and creators who want to grow their audience, build their brand, and show up confidently without burning out or forcing content. Eva shares a story from a client shoot where someone told her to “make better content.” Instead of spiraling, she realized something important. Fear of perception is one of the biggest blocks for creators. If you’re worried about what people think, this conversation will help you shift that mindset. You don’t need to reinvent the wheel. Eva encourages creators to start with something they genuinely enjoy talking about. Passion fuels consistency. We also talk about faceless creators who built thriving platforms without ever showing their face. There is more than one way to win online. This might be the most freeing part of the episode. Eva says something powerful. You are always going to feel cringey. That is part of the process. If fear of judgment is holding you back from posting, this will help you loosen your grip and just start. Growth did not happen randomly for Eva. She had to stop treating social media casually and start treating it like a business. We talk about:• Experimenting with different formats• Studying trends• Staying consistent• Adjusting when growth plateaus Social media is creative, but it is also strategic. Before selling, build connection. Eva believes people are exhausted from constant selling. They want to see the real person behind the account. When you build a strong brand and authentic connection, selling becomes natural instead of forced. • Authenticity builds stronger audience trust than perfection• Passion makes content sustainable• Feeling cringey is normal and temporary• Consistency plus strategy creates growth• Brand connection comes before business monetization If you want to grow your social media presence without losing your personality, this episode will give you clarity and confidence.

    E51: Why Your Ambition Is Outpacing Your Energy with Cathy Cury

    If you’re ambitious, driven, and still somehow exhausted… this episode is for you. In this episode of the Goalpreneur Podcast, I sit down with Cathy Cury, a national board-certified health and wellness coach, to talk about burnout, energy depletion, and what it actually takes to create sustainable habits that support your goals instead of draining you. This is a grounded, real conversation for high-achieving women who are tired of quick fixes and ready to feel energized without slowing their ambition. What We Talk About in This Episode Burnout doesn’t always look like collapse.Kathy shares her personal journey through burnout, not once, but twice… first as a teacher and later as a professional chef working on private and chartered yachts. While the lifestyle looked glamorous, constant travel, long hours, and saying yes to everything slowly eroded her health. We talk about how burnout often comes from being capable, reliable, and driven… not lazy or unmotivated. Why ambition eventually outpaces energyAs Cathy explains, what feels manageable in your 20s and early 30s often becomes unsustainable over time. Long weekends stop fixing the fatigue. Recovery takes longer. And the belief that you’re “invincible” quietly fades. This episode helps you recognize when your lifestyle is no longer aligned with your long-term health. The Power of Sustainable Change (Not Quick Fixes) Cathy introduces Method 52, her 52-week framework designed to help professionals close the gap between ambition and energy through small, realistic habit changes. Instead of extreme diets, rigid routines, or short-term resets, Method 52 focuses on: Building habits that fit real life Creating structure around change Making consistency feel doable, not overwhelming As she puts it… change only works when your life can actually hold it. Key Takeaways from This Episode Burnout often comes from capability, not weakness Ambition without recovery leads to long-term depletion Identity-based habits create sustainable change Small, structured adjustments beat drastic overhauls Your energy is a strategy, not a side effect If you’re ready to reclaim your energy while still going after what you want, this episode will meet you exactly where you are.

    Rebuilding Self After A Hellish Marriage

    Have you ever looked around your life and thought,“Nothing is technically wrong… so why does everything feel so heavy?” In this episode, I’m talking about what happens to your creativity, clarity, and sense of self after a stressful or painful season in a relationship or marriage. Not the dramatic moments… but the quiet, day-to-day weight that builds when you’ve been holding too much for too long. We’re talking about the kind of stress that doesn’t always look obvious on the outside…but slowly drains your energy, inspiration, and trust in yourself. If you’ve felt foggy, uninspired, emotionally tired, or unsure of who you are becoming next… this conversation is for you. • Why long-term relationship stress quietly shuts down creativity• How emotional tension shows up in the body and mind• Why reinvention doesn’t start with adding more to your life• Three simple shifts that helped me feel aligned again• What happens when you finally eliminate the excess — mentally and emotionally• How clarity and creativity return when your system feels safe again After a hard relationship season, many women try to move forward by doing more.More routines.More goals.More change. But when your nervous system has been living in tension, adding more only creates more noise. Creativity needs space.Clarity needs quiet.Alignment needs honesty. This episode walks through how letting go — not pushing harder — created the biggest shift for me. When you stop carrying emotional excess, something subtle but powerful happens. Your mind feels clearer.Your body relaxes.Your ideas come back online. You don’t force a new version of yourself.You uncover the one that was already there. If you’re in a season where you want things to feel lighter, simpler, and more intentional — I’ve created resources that support exactly that. You can explore them here:👉 https://courtneyspaeth.com/resources Everything there is designed to help you clear mental clutter, make decisions with more ease, and move forward without pressure. You don’t need to reinvent yourself overnight.You don’t need to have everything figured out. Sometimes alignment starts the moment you stop carrying what was never meant to be permanent.
