This past weekend, I took on a challenge that completely stretched me beyond my comfort zone—I ran my second half marathon, one that took me from the U.S. into Canada and back, crossing borders and pushing through more fears and doubts than I’ve faced in a long time. In this episode of Membership Launches and Communities, I wanted to share how this experience surprisingly mirrors so much of the business journey, including the hesitations, the commitment, and the power of community.I’ll be honest, signing up for this race wasn’t a snap decision. At the holiday party last December, I found myself inspired by someone else’s half marathon training, and before I knew it, I was obsessively hovering over the registration page, debating all those familiar “what ifs.” What if my son’s hockey interfered, what if I couldn’t train enough, what if I just wasn’t ready? That feeling of shaky hands before committing is one that so many of us know, whether it’s buying a course for our business or launching something new. Eventually, I hit that register button, and I instantly felt the full nervous weight of signing up - what was I getting into?Training for the race brought its own set of rocky moments and revelations. I started out with a “play-it-safe” plan, only looking to finish, not hit a time goal. But as the weeks rolled past, I realized my plan wasn’t challenging me enough, so I pivoted, found better resources, and started to see real change. There were upsides too—I got over my fear of running outside (and found beautiful new paths, even a “vacation horse” in the Azores), ran on the beach, learned to make training fit into family trips, and met people who motivated me in ways I didn’t expect.But the nerves crept back in as race day approached. I didn’t feel ready, I hadn’t put in as many kilometers as I’d hoped, and logistically, even booking my hotel felt last-minute. The weather forecast was gloomy, my shoes weren’t new, my old injuries started acting up, and the excuses to bail piled up. Yet, thanks to my husband’s pep talk and remembering my son’s “breathe in, breathe out” mantra, I stayed focused—my only true goal was to finish.Race day was filled with inspiration and real reminders of determination. I watched runners overcoming far bigger obstacles—people running with prosthetics, parents pushing strollers with children who had disabilities, participants running for loved ones, people coming back from spinal surgery. The sense of community was electric: Windsor’s “Fill the Line” program put volunteer cheerleaders, music, and flags representing dozens of countries along the route. Students, border agents, even DJs all celebrated runners from both sides of the border. It was such a vivid example of the value of community—strangers supporting each other through hard moments and big dreams.Crossing the finish line felt incredible, not just for the physical accomplishment, but for having walked through every fear that tried to hold me back. Medal in hand, hearing my name from a volunteer, surrounded by a crowd of supportive people, I felt the same rush I hope my podcast listeners feel after pushing through business obstacles to reach their goals.If you’ve ever felt paralyzed by the “what ifs” in your membership journey or business, I hope my half marathon story helps you see that those fears are just steps along the way. The reward—your “medal”—is waiting on the other end. Think about the support you have and the community you can build or lean into along the way, whether it’s fellow runners, volunteer cheerleaders, or your own group of business owners.Thank you for joining me for this very personal episode. I hope it inspires you to identify your own medal, acknowledge your fears, and move through them, knowing an incredible community is cheering you on. And, if you ever get a chance to experience the energy and camaraderie of a big race, I highly recommend it!I’m grateful for all the volunteers, the Detroit Free Press event team, my supportive family, and every runner whose story made this race so memorable. Here’s to chasing big goals, wherever they lead us next—even if you have to cross a few borders along the way!(c) 2026 Sandra De Freitas | SandraDeFreitas.com | All Rights ReservedWould you like to deliver your own private podcast feed to your audience?

This week, I kicked off something huge (and yes, a little bit wild) in our membership world. The second annual Memberships What’s Working Now Summit is officially underway, and I couldn’t be more thrilled about how things are shaping up already. If you’re already signed up for the summit, I’m cheering you on! If you haven’t joined us yet, this is your invitation. Seriously, what are you waiting for? Head to whatsworkingnowsummit.com to grab your ticket and jump in.Let me walk you through what’s happening inside the summit this year and how you can make the most of it. Right now, things are already buzzing. We’ve dropped presentations from our amazing sponsors, including my own session and talks from Krista Miller (all about adding hundreds of members through a virtual summit), Wendy White (on how to make your membership stand out), Charlene Stackel (covering operational strategies that scale), Autumn Wilson (simplifying social media), Leandra Nisbet (custom GPT concierge, anyone?), and Ericka Pardun (the best chargeback responses I’ve seen). And that’s just Monday!If you grabbed the upgrade pass or all-access plus, there’s even more waiting for you, like podcast episodes, videos, transcripts, and a full month inside my membership. Plus, we’re hosting an implementation week to put everything you’ve learned into practice. The plus pass gets you even more: workbooks and $2,000 worth of presenter products. Don’t feel like you have to snag everything, but definitely grab the resources that click with where you want your business to go next.Throughout the week, we’re diving into different themes each day, like growth, funnels, marketing, engagement, evergreen strategies, and tech. We’ve got presenters like Sage Grayson, Lindsay Padilla, Sarah and Justin, Liz Wilcox, Cleoniki Kesidis on gamification, Cat Griffin (Instagram tips), and Amy Lynch (on accessibility in memberships). I can barely keep up with all the incredible expertise we’re getting to share.On top of all of that, I’ll be guiding a membership roadmap session and a membership makeover, plus plenty of live Q&As and a hopping Facebook group where the conversation is already in full swing. If you’re feeling a little overwhelmed, don’t worry, I’m sharing tips inside the group to help you avoid summit overload. My biggest advice: don’t try to absorb everything. Pick the sessions that matter most right now and start there.If you haven’t upgraded yet, there’s still time. Upgrading gives you ongoing access to every session and even credits you can use toward anything in my business later. (Fifty dollars if you go for the Lite package, one hundred if you grab the Plus!)This summit is about more than just learning, it’s about building recurring revenue that not only works for your business financially but also supports your life. It’s time to leave the hustle and perfectionism behind, focus on real momentum, and find what’s truly working right now.So grab your summit ticket at whatsworkingnowsummit.com and let’s do this together. I can’t wait to see you inside and I’ll be back next week with more to share!(c) 2026 Sandra De Freitas | SandraDeFreitas.com | All Rights ReservedWould you like to deliver your own private podcast feed to your audience?

This week, I felt like it was time for a real gut check—not just for you, but for me, too. As I’ve been chatting with membership owners lately (which feels like almost daily!), there’s a big recurring theme: what used to work for growing our memberships just isn’t working anymore. People are tired of doing the same launches and getting less traction, or watching members slip out the back door. If you’ve been feeling this shift too, let me tell you—you are absolutely not alone.So, on today’s episode of Memberships, Launches and Community, I wanted to do two big things. First, I handpicked five of the most essential sessions from next week’s Memberships What’s Working Now Summit. These aren’t just theory—they’re the sessions that directly address what I’m hearing from all of you: launches that fall flat, retention that’s lagging, and just feeling plain stuck.Here’s a quick taste of what I shared:Krista Miller is going deep on building momentum and growing your audience with virtual summits—even if your list has totally stalled.Wendy White’s all about making your membership the obvious choice, so your offer doesn’t disappear into the “too niche” or “too boring” bucket.Georgiana DaCosta is showing how to run simple, budget-friendly Facebook and Instagram ads so you can grow your email list (without needing a PhD in marketing).Hannah B’s session is on evergreen onboarding funnels, which can plug the leaks in your retention—because onboarding that starts from the moment they hit “join” is a total game changer.Then, Sage Grayson is bringing the energy and breaking down a $7 hook that will simplify your funnel and lead people straight into your membership—what she calls strategic simplicity.And yes, I’m sharing my own session too: Burnout-Free Growth Path. I’ll show you how to choose a growth strategy that fits your actual life, not just the goals you think you “should” have. Because honestly, over-delivering isn’t just eating up your time—it’s probably harming your conversions and your sanity.But this episode isn’t just a summit preview. I wanted it to be a real pause—a chance to ask yourself, are you growing your membership in a way that still feels right? Or are you just stuck in a loop of outdated advice that used to work in 2020 but doesn’t fit 2025 and beyond?So, whether you’re ready to binge all 30 summit sessions or just want to pick the top three that resonate, there’s something for everyone. Plus, there’s a free ticket option, or you can upgrade for access to all the notes, bonuses, and an implementation week inside my membership community.If you’re in the weeds, launching and feeling stuck, or just need a reset—this summit could be the pivot you need. Head to whatsworkingnowsummit.com to register, and message me on Facebook to share which sessions you’re picking first. And don’t forget: next week’s podcast drops right on Day 1 of the summit, where I’m walking you through how to get the absolute most from your week.Ready to pause, reflect, and get back into alignment with what’s actually working? I’ll see you inside the summit!(c) 2026 Sandra De Freitas | SandraDeFreitas.com | All Rights ReservedWould you like to deliver your own private podcast feed to your audience?
