If you've ever felt like you're doing all the right things- reading the books, listening to the podcasts, highlighting the quotes- but still not seeing the results you want in your business… this episode is for you. Rebekah and Melissa unpack the sneaky side of personal development- how it can quietly turn into the most polished form of procrastination. They talk about the fine line between growing and hiding, and why learning feels productive but often keeps you from taking the kind of messy, courageous action that actually moves the needle. You'll learn: ✨ The lie that says you need to know more before you start ✨ The three ways we truly learn — and why experience will always be the best teacher ✨ The A.C.T. Method to turn inspiration into implementation ✨ How action, not overthinking, creates clarity and confidence This conversation will leave you feeling both convicted and equipped — reminded that information isn't transformation until you apply it. If you're ready to move from learning to leading, join us for our hands-on workshop Lead Flow Lab — a $47, 3-hour, implementation-based training that'll help you turn ideas into impact.

Unpacking Perfectionism: Why It's Keeping You Stuck Ever found yourself tweaking your Canva graphics for the fifth time instead of sending that message? Or rewriting the same caption six times only to never post it? 👀 Yeah… that's not strategy. That's perfectionism disguised as productivity. In this week's episode of The Ambition Coalition, Rebekah and Melissa unpack the sneaky ways perfectionism shows up in high-achieving women — especially in business. They'll help you see how that constant pressure to "get it right" is actually keeping you from growing, leading, and showing up the way you were called to. You'll walk away with: ✨ A fresh understanding of where perfectionism really comes from (hint: it's not about excellence) ✨ The emotional cost of staying "safe" instead of taking messy action ✨ Four practical ways to finally break free and move forward — even when it's not perfect Because the truth is… you don't need another plan. You need permission to start anyway. 💡 Ready to stop overthinking your content and actually see results?

The holidays are coming… and so is the flood of content. 🎄✨ In this episode of The Ambition Coalition, Rebekah and Melissa unpack what it really takes to rise above the noise this season. While most people are slowing down or talking themselves out of selling, the truth is- your audience is still scrolling, shopping, and looking for connection. We dig into the biggest lies that make entrepreneurs go quiet this time of year ("people aren't buying wellness products right now" — spoiler: they are), and how to double down on selling through storytelling, not spam. You'll hear practical ways to personalize your message, keep your retention strong, and simplify your strategy so you can show up with confidence when everyone else disappears. If you've ever wondered how to make your message feel fresh in a season that's anything but quiet, this one's for you. Because visibility is generosity- and it's your time to shine.

You might think negativity or energy doesn't affect you—maybe you've even said, "I can handle it." But here's the truth: influence is real, and it's powerful.

What You'll Walk Away With: Questions to help you evaluate the relationships in your life. A clear understanding of how your circle impacts your habits, mindset, and success. Action steps to intentionally surround yourself with people who challenge you, inspire you, and expand what you believe is possible.

Melissa dives into "clustering" and why introducing new people into your life can transform your energy and results. Practical reflection questions to help you take stock of your circle. Your Circle Matters. If you're ready to level up your life and business, it starts with being intentional about who's influencing you. Join us as we unpack the power of your circle and why it's time to dream bigger, push harder, and expand your perspective. 🎧 Mentioned in this Episode: High Performance Habits by Brendon Burchard Reflection Questions: Use these to evaluate your circle and identify opportunities for growth.
