032: Why Starting a Podcast Is Worth It (And What It Actually Does for Your Business) | Starting a Podcast, Part 2
If Part 1 helped you stop talking yourself out of starting a podcast … this is where we make the case for why you actually should. Because this isn’t just “one more thing to keep up with.” For a lot of us, it becomes the thing everything else comes from. Instead of constantly trying to come up with posts, emails, or blog content, this turns into your weekly anchor - the place your ideas get worked out, said out loud, and then reused in a way that actually makes sense. Honestly? For a lot of people, it ends up replacing way more complicated systems with something that finally feels sustainable.Listen in for:Why podcasting isn’t just another platform (and why that matters)How it can become your weekly anchor instead of scrambling for new contentWhy talking through your ideas sharpens them faster than writing aloneHow podcasting can feel easier to sustain than trying to keep up everywhere elseRESOURCES MENTIONEDThis Week's Free Action Guide: The “Make Email Fit Your Business” MapThe Smart Soulful Business Facebook Community: smartbusiness.thrivecart.com/soulful-strategy-communitySUBSCRIBE & REVIEWIf you loved this episode, please take a moment to subscribe and leave a review on Apple Podcasts!

031: Does the World Need One More Podcast? | Starting a Podcast, Part 1
If you’ve thought about starting a podcast and immediately followed it with, “yeah… but does the world really need another one?” - you’re not alone. That question shows up fast, and for a lot of people, it ends great ideas before they even get a chance.Yes, there are millions of podcasts out there. But only a small percentage are actually active. Most people start… and then they stop. So the issue isn’t really “too many podcasts.” It’s that very few people stick with it.And that changes how we should be thinking about this.Listen in for:Why this question shows up so quickly (and what it’s really pointing to)The difference between adding more content vs. adding something people actually stay withWhat makes someone’s voice worth listening to (even in a crowded space)The common ways good ideas get talked out of - and how to move forward anywayRESOURCES MENTIONEDThis Week's Free Action Guide: The “Should I Start This?” GuideThe Smart Soulful Business Facebook Community: smartbusiness.thrivecart.com/soulful-strategy-communitySUBSCRIBE & REVIEWIf you loved this episode, please take a moment to subscribe and leave a review on Apple Podcasts!

030: Email Isn’t Just for “That Kind” of Business — It’s for Yours Too
If you’re thinking, “Email doesn’t really fit what I do,” you’re not the only one. It’s easy to assume email works better for bigger, more online, or more “put together” businesses. In this episode, we talk about how email can actually fit what you’re already doing - whether that’s handmade, local, service-based, or something still growing.Listen in for:Why email isn’t just for bigger or more “online” businessesWhat this can look like for handmade, local, or home-based workHow to stay connected with the people already paying attentionThe shift from “this doesn’t fit me” to “this could actually work”How to make email feel like a natural part of your businessRESOURCES MENTIONEDThis Week's Free Action Guide: The “Make Email Fit Your Business” MapThe Smart Soulful Business Facebook Community: smartbusiness.thrivecart.com/soulful-strategy-communitySUBSCRIBE & REVIEWIf you loved this episode, please take a moment to subscribe and leave a review on Apple Podcasts!

028: Email List Growth That Doesn’t Feel Slick, Salesy, or Forced
If growing your email list has felt slow, awkward, or a little uncomfortable, you’re not doing it wrong. Most of us just don’t want to grow something in a way that feels pushy or performative. In this episode, we talk about how to grow your list in a way that’s clear, steady, and actually fits how you want to show up.Listen in for:Why slow growth is normal (and still works)How to show up without feeling pushy or “on” all the timeWhat actually helps people choose to join your listWhy clarity matters more than doing moreHow to keep growing without forcing itRESOURCES MENTIONEDThis Week's Free Action Guide: The No-Pressure List Growth PathThe Smart Soulful Business Facebook Community: smartbusiness.thrivecart.com/soulful-strategy-communitySUBSCRIBE & REVIEWIf you loved this episode, please take a moment to subscribe and leave a review on Apple Podcasts!

027: The Hidden Pressure of “Keeping Up” (And Why Email Feels Overwhelming)
If email has started to feel like something you have to come up with every week, it makes sense that it’s been hard to keep up. Most of us aren’t actually running out of ideas, though - we’re running out of energy trying to think of something new all the time. In this episode, we show you how to get out of that pattern so consistent email becomes doable, enjoyable, and sustainable.Listen in for:Naming creativity fatigue (and why it’s not a discipline problem)How to shift the weekly pressure spiral into something more doable (and even enjoyable)What to do when you feel like you’ve run out of things to sayA simple repeatable system and structure that makes it all sustainableRESOURCES MENTIONEDThis Week's Free Action Guide: The “What Do I Send?” Weekly MapThe Smart Soulful Business Facebook Community: smartbusiness.thrivecart.com/soulful-strategy-communitySUBSCRIBE & REVIEWIf you loved this episode, please take a moment to subscribe and leave a review on Apple Podcasts!

026: Why So Many Smart Women Avoid Email (Even When They Know They Need It)
If email has been sitting in the back of your mind - something you know you should be doing, but keep putting off - you’re not the only one. This isn’t really about discipline or motivation. It’s more about what’s actually going on underneath when we keep avoiding it … and why just trying harder doesn’t fix it.We’re talking about:Why email keeps getting pushed off (and what that’s really about)That “I don’t want to bother people” feeling - and a better way to think about itWhy feeling behind makes it harder to start, and how to move anywayNot having enough to say vs. not having something to fall back onWhat shifts when we stop negotiating with it every weekRESOURCES MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODEThis Week's Free Action Guide: The Email Avoidance ResetThe Smart Soulful Business Facebook Community: smartbusiness.thrivecart.com/soulful-strategy-communitySUBSCRIBE & REVIEWIf you loved this episode, please take a moment to subscribe and leave a review on Apple Podcasts!

023: Why A Book Changes How People See You (Even in a Crowded World)
Even in a noisy, content-heavy world, a book still carries weight. In this episode, we talk about how books function socially and professionally - and why writing one often changes how people listen to you, trust you, and engage with your ideas. We reframe authority as trust, not platform size, and explore why a book can be a gift rather than a pitch. This episode helps us imagine life after the book, without adding pressure to get it perfect.In this episode, we talk about:How books quietly build credibility and trustWhy the words expert, authority, and influence don’t require a fancy titleHow a book gives your ideas a perfect place to liveWhat changes after you write (and publish) your workRESOURCES MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODEThis Week's Free Action Guide: The Quiet Authority MapThe Smart Soulful Business Facebook Community: smartbusiness.thrivecart.com/soulful-strategy-communitySUBSCRIBE & REVIEWIf you loved this episode, please take a moment to subscribe and leave a review on Apple Podcasts!

022: Your First Book: The Goal Isn’t ‘New York Times Bestseller’ (Here’s Why)
We often put impossible pressure on a first book - and then wonder why it never gets finished. In this episode, we talk about why your first book doesn’t need to be big, definitive, or impressive to matter. We explore how releasing outcome pressure actually creates momentum and why small, clear, finishable books often do the most good. We’re all about choosing progress over performance and letting your first book be what it needs to be.In this episode, we talk about:Why first books get stuck under unrealistic expectationsThe difference between “important” and “finishable”How starting small creates confidence, clarity, and momentumWhy we believe the job of a first book is simply to be finishedRESOURCES MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODEThis Week's Free Action Guide: The Finishable First Book FilterThe Smart Soulful Business Facebook Community: smartbusiness.thrivecart.com/soulful-strategy-communitySUBSCRIBE & REVIEWIf you loved this episode, please take a moment to subscribe and leave a review on Apple Podcasts!

021: Publishing Isn’t What It Used to Be - and That’s Actually Good News
Publishing has changed dramatically, and for most people, that’s a gift - not a loss. In this episode, we unpack how self-publishing and Amazon KDP have reshaped the book industry and removed many of the barriers that used to keep meaningful books hidden. We talk honestly about fear, overwhelm, and the myth that “anyone can publish now, so does it even matter?” If publishing feels intimidating or risky, this conversation brings some honest relief.In this episode, we talk about:How the publishing industry has shifted from gatekeeping to accessWhy self-publishing isn’t second-rate (it’s strategic)What still makes a book meaningful in a crowded marketWhy Amazon KDP lowers risk without lowering impactRESOURCES MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODEThis Week's Free Action Guide: The Calm Publishing Reality CheckThe Smart Soulful Business Facebook Community: smartbusiness.thrivecart.com/soulful-strategy-communitySUBSCRIBE & REVIEWIf you loved this episode, please take a moment to subscribe and leave a review on Apple Podcasts!

020: Why Everyone Should Write a Book (And Why So Many Never Do)
So many people want to write a book — and quietly carry the disappointment of never doing it. In this episode, we talk about why that desire matters, why finishing is often harder than starting, and why writing a book is about growth, clarity, and courage — not ego. We explore what keeps people stuck and why “someday” so often turns into never. This is a permission-giving conversation for anyone who’s ever wondered if they really should write a book.In this episode, we talk about:Why wanting to write a book is reason enoughThe emotional cost of never finishing something that mattersHow writing supports confidence and personal growthWhy finishing — not perfection — is the real winRESOURCES MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODEThis Week's Free Action Guide: The First Book Permission CheckThe Smart Soulful Business Facebook Community: www.smartbusiness.thrivecart.com/soulful-strategy-communitySUBSCRIBE & REVIEWIf you loved this episode, please take a moment to subscribe and leave a review on Apple Podcasts!

019: Living Softly: A New Way to Hold Work, Business, and Creativity
What if the opposite of hard isn’t easy—but soft? In this episode, we talk about what it looks like to live and work softly in a world that constantly tells us business, selling, and creativity have to be hard. Not soft as in vague or wobbly - but soft as in grounded, steady, and kind to ourselves while we do meaningful work. This is a conversation about pressure, language, and the quiet ways we make things harder than they need to be.In this episode, we talk about:Why hard work comes naturally to us - and how “soft” offers a better way to the same goalHow pressure and self-criticism sneak into our work without us noticingSimple language shifts that help interrupt shame spiralsWhat it looks like to hold work, selling, and creativity with care instead of forceWhy approaching ideas (like writing a book) with curiosity can open doors instead of shutting us downRESOURCES MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODEThis Week's Free Action Guide: Soft, Not Smaller: A Language & Pressure ResetThe Smart Soulful Business Facebook Community: www.smartbusiness.thrivecart.com/soulful-strategy-communitySUBSCRIBE & REVIEWIf you loved this episode, please take a moment to subscribe and leave a review on Apple Podcasts!

018: Ethical Scarcity: Timers, Flash Sales & Deadlines (That Don’t Feel Manipulative)
Many new entrepreneurs hesitate to use deadlines and timers because they’ve only seen them used with pressure, urgency hacks, or gimmicks that don’t match their values. But ethical scarcity isn’t about manipulating anyone — it’s about honoring your capacity, giving people clarity, and creating a structure that feels respectful to everyone involved. In this episode, we’re breaking down how to use timing and nudges that feel honest, human, and completely aligned with who you are.Inside this episode: • What ethical scarcity actually looks like for women who lead with integrity • How deadlines can serve your people instead of stressing them • Simple timing structures that feel human, not hype-y • Ways to close your offer with confidence (and zero drama)Get Your Free Action Guide: The Ethical Scarcity Builder Join the Smart Soulful Business Facebook Community: www.smartbusiness.thrivecart.com/soulful-strategy-communitySUBSCRIBE & REVIEWIf you loved this episode, please take a moment to subscribe and leave a review on Apple Podcasts!

015: Building Offers That Actually Sell (Without Feeling Salesy)
So many of us want to create something meaningful, but we get stuck on the offer itself: what it is, who it’s for, and why it matters. In this conversation, we talk about how to build an offer that fits the way we’re designed and meets a real need in someone’s life. When the offer is strong and honest, sharing it feels natural - not salesy or pressured - because the value is already clear.In this episode, we talk about:What makes an offer meaningful, helpful, and worth sharingHow to build something that reflects your strengths and seasonThe difference between what we hope to offer and what people are actually trying to solveWhy selling feels lighter when the offer itself does the heavy liftingA simple way to shape your next offer in just a few minutesGet Your Free Action Guide: The Offer Builder Mini-MapJoin the Smart Soulful Business Facebook Community: www.smartbusiness.thrivecart.com/soulful-strategy-communityRate, Review, & Follow Becky & Laurie on Apple Podcasts"I love Laurie & Becky and the Smart Soulful Business Podcast!!" << If that's like you, please consider rating and reviewing our show!

013: What Jesus Taught Us About Influence (A Soulful Christmas Eve Episode)
Influence doesn’t have to be loud, public, or polished. Jesus showed us that the most transformative impact often begins quietly, in hidden places where nobody is keeping score. In this Christmas Eve reflection, we explore what His life teaches us about presence, humility, and the kind of influence that changes people without ever trying to impress them. This episode is an invitation to rest, breathe, and remember that the way you’re building your business matters deeply.In this episode, we talk about:Why Jesus’ influence began in obscurity (and why that matters for your business)The difference between impression and impactHow quiet influence builds trust, depth, and longevityWhat to remember when your work feels slow, unseen, or “small”How to carry this truth into your next season of life and businessGet Your Free Action Guide: Quiet Influence: A 5-Minute Reflection for Heart-Centered EntrepreneursJoin the Smart Soulful Business Facebook Community: www.smartbusiness.thrivecart.com/soulful-strategy-communityRate, Review, & Follow Becky & Laurie on Apple Podcasts"I love Laurie & Becky and the Smart Soulful Business Podcast!!" << If that's like you, please consider rating and reviewing our show!

012: Hard Launch, Soft Launch, or Reveal? How to Start Something Without the Stress
Launching a new product, offer, or podcast doesn’t have to be loud, stressful, or perfectly planned. Most of us were never taught what a “launch” actually is — which is why it feels so intimidating.
