  106. How Building a Sales Morning Routine Can Help You Let Go of Your Fear of Selling with Alyssa Moorhead

  Aug 21, 20261h 2mS4

  In this episode: how switching up your space and creating a solid sales routine, surrounded by places and things you enjoy, can actually improve your sales strategy and mindset. Alyssa Moorhead runs an 11-year-old DFY Lead Generation Agency for bold, unicorn category-of-one business owners. She helps women generate new leads through IG Stories and IG DMs to make ethical sales to dream clients for service-based agencies and high-level mentors. Alyssa shares the steps she took when scaling her business, including creating a “hiring wish list” to determine where she needed the most support, and how to structure her business to make that happen. Alyssa and Teresa also talk about how to navigate Instagram to find warm and hot leads, email marketing, whether using automation makes sense for your business, and the ins and outs of sales content. If you are someone who is dreading the sales side of your business or struggling to turn your Instagram stories and DMs into consistent client conversations, then this episode is for you. KEY TAKEAWAYS Build yourself a “hiring wish list” for all of the roles you need the most support in as you are scaling your business. Build a morning routine and a sales morning routine - this allows you to create time for yourself, while also budgeting in a daily time to stay on top of your leads and more urgent tasks for your business. Take time to look at who is viewing your Instagram stories - there could be a lot of hidden leads there. Using an automation may not make sense for every business model. Sales is a practice - you have to be practicing on an ongoing basis. Letting go of the “shoulds” changed my life. - Alyssa Moorhead Connect with Alyssa: Website: https://alyssamoorhead.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/alyssalmoorhead/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/alyssa-moorhead/ Sassy Sales Tips Email List: https://alyssamoorhead.myflodesk.com/emailsignup Connect with Teresa Join the Becoming Obsessed Playground, the weekly email for curiosity-led women building a life they love.

  105. Allowing Yourself to Play and Explore Life Outside Your Business with Ashley Kruse

  Aug 14, 202646 minS4

  In this episode: what it looks like to push past the cultural norms of constant productivity and putting your sole identity into your work, and how slowing down and allowing yourself to play will actually open up more possibilities of success in your business. Ashley Kruse is the founder of Baddie Creative and a growth marketing strategist who helps establish coaches and course creators use paid social to scale without diluting their brand that they've worked so hard to build. Ashley and Teresa talk about how easy it can be to tie your identity up in your business, the ways they have worked to untangle that, the differences between entrepreneurs and business owners, and why they are passionate about supporting female founders. They also dive into how Ashley operates her business; the purpose of ads and when you should use them to support your business; and how the ultimate goal is to have a business you love while also being able to separate yourself from it to live a more fulfilling life. If you’ve ever felt the pull to try something new in your business, but have been too hesitant to take the leap, this episode is for you. KEY TAKEAWAYS: Sometimes your version of success will change over time, and that’s ok - it might just lead you down a path that is better than you could have ever imagined. You may need to “burn your life down” in order to start building one that makes you happier and feels more fulfilling. If you had all the time in the world to play and explore outside your business and goals, what would you do? It’s so easy to get caught up in the push for constant productivity. Having more play in your life actually opens up the opportunity for you to be more productive, while also living a fulfilling life. Surrounding yourself with people that you admire and that are different from you allows you to form a new identity that you might otherwise not have realized. I'm not, like, death gripping my goals. I'm not death gripping every single thing that I could be doing. I really want to release it and to just step into it with confidence and trust that it's all gonna work out, but also to take care of myself. - Ashley Kruse Connect with Ashley: Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/the.business.baddie Website: https://baddiecreative.com/ Connect with Teresa Join the Becoming Obsessed Playground, the weekly email for curiosity-led women building a life they love.

  104. How to Build a Profitable Business Without Burning Out with Emily Dean

  Aug 7, 202651 minS4

  In this episode: how we are saying goodbye to toxic culture of rewarding burnout over sustainability, and embracing the reality of building a profitable business without sacrificing your health, values, or team. Emily Dean is an entrepreneur, brand strategist, and seasoned marketer helping women scale purpose-driven brands without self-sacrifice. Emily and Teresa discuss the reality that many people face: working to the point of burnout, with the goal that they will be happy and live a fulfilling life after they retire, and how this is a wake-up call they have both experienced first-hand. They also get into what founder-first vs. customer-first branding looks like, mindful disrupters and how Emily is helping female founders build profitable businesses that align with their values, and the best practices of using AI in business. If you've ever felt burnt out chasing a version of success that isn't yours, this one's for you. KEY TAKEAWAYS There is a way to find balance between having a fulfilling life and a fulfilling career - so many people wait until after they retire to start fully living the life they want, and it is not always guaranteed. Surrounding yourself with a community and friendships with people of all ages and backgrounds is incredibly valuable because it challenges you to see the world differently. Women are often more mindful when approaching business. When women have money, they tend to give back to their communities and employees. In this day and age where there is often the question of whether AI was used to create something, and can sometimes raise red flags for those consuming your content, consider including a disclaimer if you used AI in some way to expand on your original thought. “I don’t think success is something that should require us to disappear inside of it.” - Emily Dean Resources Mentioned: Qveen Herby - The Fool Connect with Emily: Website: https://www.boltandbloom.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mledean/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/emilyjdean/ Connect with Teresa Join the Becoming Obsessed Playground, the weekly email for curiosity-led women building a life they love.

  103. What’s New This Summer! 3 Weeks in Greece + Can I Show You Around Omaha?

  Jul 31, 202624 minS4

  Take 20% off your Create and Cultivate Festival Ticket with code TERESAS20 Time for a mid-summer check in! Teresa has some exciting updates to share, from going to Greece for three weeks in August, to the newest series: From 5,000 Podcast Downloads to 1 Million Podcast Downloads in Under Six Months, and not one but two opportunities to hang out with Teresa at the Dream Bigger Summit in Omaha in November, and the Create and Cultivate Festival in LA. Plus, a reminder that living a life that you love comes from finding pause and appreciation for what you have now. KEY TAKEAWAYS Be strategic about your travel — it can be overwhelming to narrow down where you want to go while only visiting for a few weeks, but you don’t need to go everywhere. Sometimes it’s nicer to be able to take your time in fewer places. The grass is not greener on the other side. It is greener where you water it. It’s important to do the work to appreciate your life exactly where you are at now. That’s the first step to building a life you truly love. Making new friends as an adult can feel tricky, and even a little uncomfortable. But it is possible to make some beautiful relationships, and sometimes life will surprise you with them when you least expect it. The stories we tell ourselves aren’t facts…they’re just stories, and it’s important to question them and learn which ones might be holding you back. “Do we love to grow because we're humans? Hell yes. But it's not out of a place of lack. It's out of a place of enjoyment and love and gratitude.” — Teresa Stastny Connect with Teresa Join the Becoming Obsessed Playground, the weekly email for curiosity-led women building a life they love.

  102. How to Build a Community, a Business, and a Life that Truly Works for You with Julia Bocchese

  Jul 24, 202640 minS4

  In this episode, discover how even when you are in the midst of new life transitions, it is still possible to build a life that you love, by creating community and a business that works for you. Julia Bocchese is an SEO, Pinterest, and AI search strategist who helps businesses get found online and attract the right clients through search. She's the founder of Julia Renee Consulting, where she builds clear, sustainable strategies focused on real growth, conversions, and long-term visibility without all that confusing jargon. Julia and Teresa get into the importance of having a community, wherever you are — even if that means you need to start it yourself. They also discuss how Julia is helping her clients build long term growth with SEO, which allows them to match with the right clients for their services. If you've ever built something from scratch with no plan, no roadmap, and no idea it would turn into a business, this episode is proof that you can figure it out as you go. If you can’t find your community, maybe just make one, and invite a few friends, and then it will grow and change over time. — Julia Bocchese KEY TAKEAWAYS Human-first always wins — whether it's Google, AI search, or Pinterest, the businesses that get found are the ones that write clearly for humans first, not for algorithms. You don't have to have it all figured out to start a business. If you can't find community, build it — Julia's casual, low-pressure business hangout group shows that community doesn't need to be formal to be valuable. Consistency beats perfection in relationships — showing up to the same recurring space repeatedly, even briefly, builds real community over time. Business success and life fulfillment aren't separate tracks — building a sustainable business (through smart SEO/Pinterest strategy) frees up space to build the life you actually want.
