45: From Performing to Embodying: Redefining Visibility, Leadership, and Success as a Mother and Entrepreneur w/ Krystal Jugarap
What if the reason you feel tired, unseen, or disconnected in your business has nothing to do with your work ethic and everything to do with how you’ve been taught to perform success?In this episode, I sat down with Krystal Jugarap, founder of Herrolo, for a deeply honest conversation about what it actually looks like to step off the hamster wheel and start building a life and business that feels aligned, spacious, and true. Krystal shared her journey from being the “good girl” who checked all the boxes to becoming a mother and entrepreneur who leads with intention, boundaries, and community at the center.We talked about leaving corporate life, navigating motherhood while building a business, redefining visibility beyond social media pressure, and why community is not just a nice-to-have but the foundation for sustainable success. This episode is for the woman who knows she is meant for more but is ready to stop performing for it and start embodying it in a way that actually supports her real life.WHAT YOU’LL LEARN✨ Why performing success leads to burnout and how embodiment creates sustainability✨ How motherhood can become the catalyst for redefining success on your own terms✨ What visibility looks like when it is rooted in relationships and community, not constant posting✨ How to build a business that honors boundaries, energy, and long-term legacyWEEKLY CHALLENGEThis week, take ten quiet minutes to ask yourself where you are performing instead of embodying.

44: Why More New Sales Won’t Fix a Business with Leaky Revenue
What if the reason your revenue feels unstable has nothing to do with how well you sell?So many founders assume that when revenue dips, the answer is simple. More leads. More content. Another launch. More visibility. But what if the real problem is not how many people are coming into your business, but how many are quietly leaving?In this episode of the Light Her Up Podcast, Natalie Bernacchi dives into one of the most overlooked drivers of business growth: retention. Drawing on more than 15 years of experience building customer success systems inside tech startups, Natalie shares the moment she realized her own business did not have a sales problem. It had a retention problem.This conversation explores the silent revenue killer called churn, why launches plateau when retention is weak, and how founders can shift from constant selling to building stable, recurring revenue. If you have ever felt like you are always hustling for the next client while wondering why income still feels unpredictable, this episode will feel like someone finally turned the lights on.WHAT YOU’LL LEARN✨ Why strong launches can still lead to unstable revenue if clients are leaving faster than they arrive✨ What churn actually means in a service based business and why it quietly drains growth✨ How shifting from acquisition thinking to retention thinking changes the way you run your company✨ Practical ways to strengthen onboarding, client success, and renewal pathways so revenue compounds over timeWEEKLY CHALLENGEThis week, shift your focus from where clients enter your business to where they leave.Take a look at your last five to ten clients and map their journey. When did they exit? Was it after onboarding, after the first month, or at the point of renewal?Then ask yourself one powerful question: Are clients seeing value fast enough?Even a small insight from this exercise can reveal where your revenue is leaking and where you can create a stronger experience that keeps clients engaged and supported for longer.RESOURCES✨ Free Customer Journey AuditNatalie is offering listeners a free audit to help identify where clients may be dropping off and how to strengthen the client journey.

41: The Retention Mistake Almost Every Founder Makes: Customer Support vs Customer Success
You can be incredibly responsive, deeply supportive, and still be losing clients.In this episode, Natalie breaks down one of the biggest misunderstandings founders have when it comes to retention and leadership and why being available is not the same as setting your clients up for success.Drawing from over 15 years leading customer success and account management teams in tech startups, Natalie reframes what customer success actually is and why it should be a proactive leadership strategy, not a reactive support role. She shares how founders unintentionally create dependency, burnout themselves, and still see clients disengage when structure, boundaries, and clarity are missing.This conversation is for you if you run a membership, mastermind, or any recurring offer and feel like you are constantly answering questions, always on, and wondering why clients are not staying or integrating the work. This episode will challenge how you have been leading and also give you permission to do it differently.WHAT YOU’LL LEARN✨ The true difference between customer support and customer success and why confusing the two hurts retention✨ Why responsiveness alone does not build confidence, results, or long-term loyalty✨ How founders accidentally train dependency instead of self trust in their clients✨ What proactive customer success actually looks like in memberships, masterminds, and service-based businessesWEEKLY CHALLENGEAudit one moment in your business after someone pays you.Look at it through your client’s eyes and ask yourself:Do they know what matters most right now?Do they know what success looks like in the first week?Do they feel grounded or overwhelmed?Choose one small improvement you can make to create more clarity and confidence. This is not about perfection. It is about intentional leadership.RESOURCES✨ Interested in increasing retention, reducing churn, and building customer success systems that help clients stick around longer?Book a call with me and let’s talk through your business and your customer journey.

40: How to Stop Working Harder and Start Making More Money in Your Business w/ Jillian Minter
What if your next income level has nothing to do with working harder and everything to do with who you are being around money?In this episode, I’m sitting down with business and money coach Jillian Minter to talk about the real reason so many women stay stuck in the middle of entrepreneurship. You know the place where you are making money, doing all the things, and still feeling like you cannot break through. Jillian shares her own journey from burnout, scarcity, and feeling broke even while running a business, to becoming a fully aligned entrepreneur who built a business that actually supports her life.We get into money identity, victim energy, wealth consciousness, and what it looks like to intentionally create a new reality. If you have ever felt like you are doing everything right but still not seeing the results you want, this conversation will feel like a deep exhale and a powerful reminder that you are not behind. This episode was made for the woman who is ready to stop gripping so tightly and start leading her life and business from a new level of trust, alignment, and wealth.WHAT YOU’LL LEARN✨ Why working harder is not the strategy that creates wealth and how that belief quietly keeps women stuck✨ How to identify the money identity you are unconsciously reinforcing and what it takes to shift it✨ What victim energy can look like in business, even when you are not blaming anyone, and how to reclaim your power✨ Why a change in environment and community can completely expand your wealth consciousness and resultsWEEKLY CHALLENGEPick one money belief you have been carrying that sounds like it came from someone else. Then write it down and replace it with a new belief you are choosing on purpose.

This is how you start changing your reality.RESOURCES✨ Join The Launchpad Society → https://theceobesties.com/launchpad-society A virtual membership designed for women in the early stages of building a business who want clarity, structure, and support before acceleration.

34: From building a fitness studio to launching a product line: how Shine Society built community, resilience, and created their own yeses
What if your workout felt like a party and your equipment made you smile every time you moved?

31: Grief, Forgiveness, And The Lessons My Late Mom Left Me
What do you do when the person you love most also becomes the source of your deepest pain? In this raw and personal episode, I open up about losing my mom — twice.
