    Ep. 46 | How to Delegate Without Hiring: Building an Intern Team to Step Into Your CEO Role (with Brittany Braswell)

    I sit down with Brittany Braswell, creator of the Intern Accelerator, about helping solopreneurs scale sustainably by building teams of interns to delegate work without adding payroll and stepping into a CEO role before reaching a certain income level. Brittany shares how her internship background in dietetics shaped her approach, why entrepreneurs underestimate what they can offer interns, and how longer-term internships (minimum six months) enable training, systems adoption, and reliability. We discuss mindset blocks like feeling you must afford help first or questioning why someone would work unpaid, plus practical delegation examples such as content repurposing, newsletter setup, scheduling group calls, and inbox organization. Brittany explains onboarding, feedback, avoiding micromanagement, and recommends starting with an audit of repeatable tasks using her free Delegation Decoder, (linked below). 00:00 CEO Identity Shift 00:26 Meet Brittany Braswell 01:03 Show Intro and Mission 02:18 Why Intern Teams Work 03:20 From Overwhelm to Support 04:27 Building Systems to Delegate 07:32 Interns vs Traditional Hiring 07:50 Intern Model Origin Story 11:25 Mindset Blocks About Help 15:48 Finding Aligned Interns 20:11 Tasks to Delegate First 22:56 Stop Micromanaging 27:55 Delegation Audit Framework 29:58 Free Resource and Links 31:08 Where to Find Brittany 31:58 Host Wrap and Next Steps Brittany's Links: Find Brittany on IG Delegation Decoder The Intern Accelerator ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Activation Meditation Subconscious Success Scan Inquire about 1:1 support by filling out this form.

    Ep. 45 | Why Business Books Alone Won't Save You as a Coach Or Course Creator, And What Will

    The One Mindset Tool to Pull Yourself Out of a Business Spiral:In this episode of Mindset Breakthroughs for Solopreneurs, I respond to a Facebook request for book recommendations during a business crisis by arguing that most people don’t have a book or course problem, they have an implementation problem. I explain that spiraling often comes from emotional, exaggerated language (“everything,” “nothing”), meaning-making, and focusing on what’s wrong rather than facts. 00:00 Welcome and Big Promise00:50 Facebook Question Sparks Topic02:00 Books vs Implementation03:07 Watch Your Language04:42 Emotions Aren't Facts06:05 The Triad Framework09:02 Shift Physiology Focus Meaning12:01 Grocery Store Smile Experiment13:21 Say It Like You Mean It14:37 Offers Freebie and Coaching16:27 Final Thanks and Goodbye

    Ep. 44 | Building a Sustainable Business Beyond the Content Hamster Wheel with Business Coach Elizabeth Henson

    I sat down with business coach and Messy Success Podcast host Elizabeth Henson about building a real business without a perfect plan or platform. We talk all things, messy success, identity shifts, and sustainable growth beyond constant content creation. We dive into tons of topics like Elizabeth’s evolution from wedding photographer to business coach, and her pivot away from being known only for Facebook groups toward broader community-based marketing and self-development. Elizabeth shares her two-day in-person event, Elevate and Inspire (April 25–26), and argues that in-person connection accelerates results while social media should support an ecosystem rather than be the whole machine. We address misconceptions about business coaches, pricing embodiment, hiring a small team affordably, and practical advice for building a business with kids by focusing on micro actions and outsourcing. 00:00 Meet Elizabeth Henson 00:45 How We Became Coaches 04:15 From Photographer To Coach 06:00 Beyond Facebook Groups 07:51 Identity Shift Business Coach 09:32 Elevate And Inspire Event 10:33 Escaping Content Burnout 13:08 In Person Marketing Ecosystem 14:18 Misconceptions About Coaches 16:47 Owning The Business Coach Title 17:46 I Help Introductions 18:32 Spark Curiosity Fast 19:10 Advice To Past Self 20:05 Defining Messy Success 21:56 Next Event And Offers 23:38 Building A Lean Team 26:55 Business With Kids 30:29 Where To Find Her 31:03 Threads And Platform Shifts 32:57 Final Golden Nugget Discover your next action step to unlock a more fun and profitable business.

    Ep. 43 | Top 10 Words To Delete From Your Vocabulary As An Online Entrepreneur

    In this Mindset Breakthroughs for Solopreneurs episode, I explain how everyday language patterns from NLP (neuro linguistic programming) shape identity, nervous system responses, and business results more than vision boards or strategy alone. I argues that hesitant or uncertain words signal “risk” to the brain, leading to overthinking, procrastination, and staying safe instead of taking action toward 2026 goals like more money, visibility, and confidence. I break down the top 10 words to remove and explaining each word’s hidden meaning. I also offer stronger replacements that communicate decisions, ownership, control, and commitment. The episode ends with a challenge to audit and immediately replace these words to align language with the next-level version of yourself.00:00 Big Goals Small Words01:29 Why Language Runs You02:24 NLP And The 10 Words03:36 Survival Brain Identity Leak06:22 Word 1 Try07:18 Words 2-4 Should Need Hope09:34 Words 5-7 Just Maybe Cant12:02 Words 8-10 Stuck But If15:00 Align Language With Identity17:19 7 Day Language Audit18:12 Wrap Up And Review Ask ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Links mentioned in this episode: Freebie: Activation Switch this 10-minute subconscious-activation meditation is designedto pull ambitious women out of a self-doubt spiraland drop them into calm certainty with a massive boostof confidence.

    Ep. 42 | Unlock Abundance: Redirect Your Day in Minutes Not Days

    The One Question That Stops a Stress & Scarcity SpiralJen Lemke shares a simple mindset shift she uses to quickly redirect stress, scarcity, and the feeling of being “stuck.” She explains how spiraling often comes from focusing on lack and “away from” motivation (running from debt, stress, or what you don’t want) instead of “towards” motivation (moving toward what you do want). Drawing on her experience as a coach, certified success coach, and NLP practitioner, she highlights how language shapes experience and why describing yourself as “stuck” can reinforce the feeling. Her key tool is asking: “What do I actually want?” and then, “What’s the one thing I can do right now that will put me in trajectory of that?” She emphasizes that happiness and emotional state come first, and that a fast course-correct can move you into forward-focused abundance and momentum.00:00 The One Simple Shift to Break Stress & Scarcity Spirals00:18 Meet Your Host + What This Podcast Is About00:46 Salad Thoughts: How My Identity Shifted in Business02:07 Life in the Spiral: New Mom Overwhelm & Hitting Rock Bottom02:36 The Gratitude Wake-Up Call (and Why It Felt Impossible)03:18 The Course-Correct Question: “What Do I Actually Want?”05:34 Towards vs Away-From Motivation: Stop Playing Not to Lose06:24 “I’m Stuck” Is Language—And Language Creates Experience08:55 Coaching Truth: Change Can Happen Fast (When You Go Deep)10:00 Final Takeaway + Next Step: One Action to Get Back on Track ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Links mentioned in this episode: Ready to work together?
