She reveals how growing her business actually made life easier, not hard...

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.

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.
