Q1 didn't go as planned? In this walk-and-talk episode, Steph makes the case that Q2 is the most overlooked quarter of the year — and the one with the most untapped potential. If you've been quietly counting yourself out, lowering your goals, or telling yourself summer is coming so why bother, this one's for you. Steph breaks down why "behind" isn't real, what happens to your brain when you shrink your goals at the first sign of resistance, and why the move is never to lower the target. _____...

In this episode, she breaks down the financial math behind group programs that most people never think to run, and the numbers are going to surprise you.

Christina is a dog trainer and aggression specialist out of Nanaimo, BC — and she just had her best launch ever. After over a year of stalled online enrollments, she joined Sold Out Group Programs, overhauled her sales webinar, and followed the Buzz Blitz system. The result? Eight clients in her Dream Dog program, including complete strangers who found her through her webinar for the first time. This is a must-listen if you're great at what you do but can't figure out why pe...
Mystie has been building her online membership for homemakers for over 15 years. Six figures. Loyal audience. Real results. And a plateau she couldn't crack for three years. She joined Sold Out Group Programs in October. By January, she had 78 new members in a single month. Her goal had been 40. In this episode, Steph and Mystie dig into what actually shifted. If you've been circling a decision to get real support and keep talking yourself out of it, Mystie's story is going to feel very famil...
Steph pulls back the curtain on her boldest move yet: ditching her proven webinar system for a dynamic 5-day live Summit. After years of consistent six-figure launches, Steph realized that to hit her million-dollar goal, she couldn't keep doing the same thing.

Plus, get an exclusive peek into the Sold Out Sales System Summit and why you absolutely need to be in the room! _____________________ Sold Ou...
You don't have an audience problem. You have an activation problem. In this episode, Steph makes the case that most coaches and service providers are chasing strangers while leaving a warm room full of ready-to-buy people completely ignored. Steph breaks down the difference between growing your audience and activating it, why those are two completely different skills, and what it actually looks like to turn existing interest into real revenue. _____________________ Sold Out Group Progra...
If you've had a rollercoaster relationship with launching, the dopamine spikes, the adrenaline, the crash, you're not doing anything wrong. But you might be addicted to the drama of it. In this episode, Steph calls herself out after a decade of launching and seven figures in launch revenue, and makes the case for why boring is actually the goal. Because the drama isn't a feature of launching. It's a symptom of not having a system. You'll hear why your audience should be more engaged during a ...
Steph breaks down why the metrics you can see on Instagram (and every other platform) were never designed to measure whether your content is building your business. They're influencer metrics. And letting them run the show is quietly costing you clients. You'll learn: - the truth about lurkers - why saturation is not the problem you think it is - the six elements every piece of sales-magnetizing content needs to hit - how Steph's client Mara went viral multiple times in 2025 and convert...
You feel busy all the time, but your bank account doesn't reflect your packed calendar. In this episode, Steph breaks down the "busy but broke" syndrome that's keeping you from scaling.

Steph shares her own time-tracking wake-up call, how she discovered she was only working 15 hours when she thought she was maxed out at 25, a...
What happens when you set a goal that makes you want to take it back the moment you say it out loud?

Steph shares her million-dollar goal and the immediate urge to hide from it, while Claire explores what's blocking her from even claiming a similar target.

You're tweaking your launch plan for the third time. You're waiting to feel "clearer" before hitting send. You're reorganizing your Asana board instead of following up with leads. If this sounds familiar, you're stuck in the optimization trap. In this episode, Steph breaks down why over-optimization is keeping you from the sales and momentum you want. You'll learn the difference between helpful strategy and endless tweaking, plus her simple "decide, do, repeat" framework for taking acti...
In this episode, Steph breaks down her "Project Boring" strategy for hitting seven figures this year. She's discovered that her brain (and yours) loves creating problems just to solve them, but those aren't always the problems that grow your business.

Yo...

Ever notice how you can end a day feeling completely drained but not actually closer to your goals? In this week's episode, Steph gets brutally honest about the sneakiest way capable people avoid their own potential. After working harder in 2025 to simply repeat her 2024 revenue, she realized something profound: her brain had been rewarding the feeling of busyness over meaningful progress. This isn't about shaming yourself for being busy. It's about understanding why magnetism comes fro...
If you've ever felt like you're spinning your wheels, working hard but not making meaningful progress, this episode is going to feel like a lightbulb moment. In this final episode of 2025, Steph shares the pattern she's been seeing with clients: the confusion that comes from skipping the first decision. You're not stuck because you're unmotivated. You're stuck because you haven't defined your direction. This conversation is a must-listen if you've ever thought: "I don't know what to focus on ...
In this episode, Steph shares a conversation that completely shifted her perspective on success. An $8K client told her that seeing Steph sledding in her bathrobe while running a multiple six-figure company was what sold her on working together. Why? Because most of us believe that bigger business means less freedom, more sacrifice, and no time for what matters most. Steph breaks down why this belief is keeping us small. She reveals how growing her business actually made life easier, not hard...
In this episode, Steph breaks down the myth that good content requires perfect conditions and extended time blocks.

In this behind-the-scenes episode, Steph pulls back the curtain on her most recent launch and shares exactly how she packed her virtual room without the usual hustle.

Steph breaks down her real numbers including her ad spend that brought in 162 new people in her world and over $18,000 in total revenue (and counting)....
In this week's episode, Steph delivers a fiery hot take that's been brewing all year: the dangerous trend of "pitchfork marketing" and how it's keeping brilliant women small, scared, and self-doubting. If you've ever seen successful coaches torn apart online, called "scammers" or "predatory" simply for charging premium prices, this episode will hit home. Steph breaks down how this anti-coach rhetoric has become an attention strategy that ironically does more harm than the "predators" it claim...
If you want consistent revenue in 2026 but keep hitting the same plateau, this episode is your wake-up call. Steph breaks down the four planning gaps that quietly keep entrepreneurs stuck under their goals — even multi-six-figure business owners who should "know better." These aren't strategy problems or motivation issues. They're architecture problems. You'll hear: Why looking back is essential before planning forward (and what you're missing when you skip this step)The identity work that ma...

I love this episode. great information!
wow I can't even believe how useful and we'll timed this convo was for me!
Wow I learned so much from Steph and her guest on this episode. There's no fluff at all, just two pros cutting to the chase and offering helpful advice. I gotta admit that I haven't listened to the Courage and Clarity podcast before because I thought that it was for women and wouldn't speak to me, but I'm glad I gave it a go because my assumption was very incorrect.
