Business Not As Usual with Megan Yelaney

"Pay attention to how you talk about your work with people you trust."   I just got home from hosting my mastermind retreat and I'm still on a high!   Over 4 days, 10 women got really honest about what's working, what's not, and what's been getting in their way. I took 14 themes from those conversations and I'm sharing all of them here because I know at least a few are going to land for you in a really big way.   Think of this episode as part recap, part masterclass. This is your BTS breakdown of what entrepreneurs are actually struggling with right now and how they're moving through it with support.   → DM me on Instagram and let me know which of these had you thinking, "I needed to hear this one." https://www.instagram.com/meganyelaney/    → Listen to Main Character Energy: https://meganyelaney.com/main-character-energy   → Get the full show notes (with all the links) here:  https://meganyelaney.com/2026/10/26/mastermind-retreat-recap/  

People are saving your posts, telling you your content landed, showing up to your events—and still somehow not buying. What gives?! In this episode, I'm sharing what I learned from my most recent TDE launch, how buying behavior has shifted, why engagement no longer predicts sales, and the 3 questions your potential clients are asking before they ever hit apply. → Main Character Energy private podcast: meganyelaney.com/main-character-energy → Get the full show notes (with all the links) here:  https://meganyelaney.com/2026/10/19/the-psychology-of-why-your-content-is-not-converting  

"The grief of a declining business isn't about the money. It's about watching an identity you built stop fitting." Maybe you've lived through your own version of a declining business. Where you're still showing up, still posting, still launching, but the numbers are trending in the wrong direction. → It wasn't a strategy problem for me. It was grief.  I sat down with Ash McDonald on her Shamelessly Ambitious podcast for one of the most vulnerable interviews I've ever done—and I'm bringing it to you here.  We talked about the small cracks that started to appear, the different types of grief I moved through in just the last few years, and what made me realize that I needed to shift my business entirely. This episode has been so well received already, and I know so many of you still need to hear it!  → Follow Ash on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ashmcdonald/ → Listen to Ash's podcast, Shamelessly Ambitious: https://ashmcdonaldmentoring.com/podcast → Follow Meg on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/meganyelaney/   → Get the full show notes (with all the links) here:  https://meganyelaney.com/2026/10/12/origin-story-identity-shift-and-business-rebuild

The coaching industry is having a reckoning right now.
