  Bronwyn Boyle: The Stories, Patterns & Archetypes Shaping Your Life

  Oct 2, 20261h 7m

  Episode Summary What if the stories you tell about yourself aren't just describing your life—but quietly determining what happens next? In this episode, Jennie Bellinger sits down with Bronwyn Boyle , executive leadership coach, archetypal consultant, and creator of Archetypes for Life, to explore the hidden patterns and stories that shape how we see ourselves, relate to others, and make decisions. Bronwyn explains how archetypes can help us recognize recurring patterns without getting trapped in judgment, and introduces four foundational archetypes—the Victim, Saboteur, Child, and Prostitute—that can reveal how we respond to responsibility, power, security, values, and difficult choices. She and Jennie also explore the power of telling your story out loud, the danger of repeating a story until it becomes an identity, and why greater self-awareness can create more freedom to choose what happens next. Ultimately, this conversation challenges you to ask: Is this simply something that happened to me, or has it become the story of who I believe I am?   Three Topics Discussed How the stories we repeatedly tell about ourselves can become patterns, identities, and eventually "sentences" that keep us stuck. What archetypes are and how understanding them can help us recognize recurring behaviors in ourselves and others. Why telling your story out loud can reveal contradictions, emotions, beliefs, and patterns you may not recognize while the story stays inside your head.   Three Key Takeaways from Bronwyn Boyle Your story doesn't have to become your sentence. Experiences are part of your life, but repeatedly telling the same story without examining it can turn an experience into an identity or belief that limits what you think is possible. Your patterns consume energy. The energy spent protecting wounds, avoiding situations, defending yourself, or preventing feared outcomes isn't available for creating the life, relationships, or business you actually want. Understanding yourself changes how you understand others. Greater awareness of your own patterns can reduce projection and help you approach other people's behaviors with more discernment and grace.   “We don't want to sentence ourselves to something that no longer serves us.” — Bronwyn Boyle   Connect with Bronwyn Boyle Executive Leadership Coach | Archetypal Consultant | Creator of Archetypes for Life Bronwyn helps entrepreneurs, leaders, and high achievers recognize the hidden patterns influencing their decisions, relationships, and growth. Drawing from psychology, leadership, archetypal wisdom, and nearly two decades of working with archetypes, she helps people better understand their stories and behaviors so they can make more conscious choices moving forward. www.bronwynboyle.com https://www.linkedin.com/in/bronwyn-boyle-archetypes-for-life/ Discover Your Child Archetype with Bronwyn's FREE quiz: https://archetypesforlife.com/childarchetypequiz  What You Need to Grow Podcast is presented by Badass Podcast Mastery and Jennie Bellinger, C.P.C.

  Beatriz Lopez: Stop Hiding and Start Selling

  Sep 30, 202634 min

  Episode Summary What if your biggest sales problem isn't your strategy, your offer, or even your content—but your fear of fully showing up as yourself? In this episode, Jennie Bellinger sits down with Bea Lopez , a sales and expression strategist who helps driven women build magnetic authority through full self-expression. After 15 years in corporate sales and being fired twice for being "too outspoken," Bea found herself questioning the confidence and sales ability that had once helped her consistently produce results. Ultimately, those experiences became the catalyst for rebuilding her confidence, finding her voice, and creating a business centered around helping other women do the same. Bea and Jennie explore the personal-growth work behind becoming better at sales, from overcoming the fear of being seen and rejected to learning how to confidently own the value of what you offer. Bea also introduces Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), or tapping , and explains how she uses it to help women work through fear, anxiety, overthinking, and visibility blocks. Most importantly, Bea challenges entrepreneurs to stop treating sales like something they either naturally have or don't have: sales is a skill, and it can be learned.   Three Topics Discussed Using Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) and other personal-growth practices to work through fear, anxiety, and visibility blocks. Overcoming the fear of being seen, disliked, rejected, or hearing "no" when selling. How authentic self-expression, confidence, and conviction can create more magnetic content, stronger sales conversations, and greater business opportunities.   Three Key Takeaways from Beatriz Lopez Sales is a skill, not something you're born knowing how to do. Bea didn't begin her career as a "natural salesperson," and she believes entrepreneurs can learn and strengthen sales skills just like any other business skill. Selling can feel like a natural conversation. When you believe in your work, understand your offer, ask good questions, and invite someone to work with you without attaching your self-worth to their answer, sales can feel significantly less intimidating. Your authentic voice matters even more in an AI-driven world. As AI-generated content becomes increasingly common, Bea believes genuine human expression and connection give entrepreneurs an opportunity to stand out.   “Once you learn how to sell, you can sell anything.” — Bea Lopez   Connect with Bea Lopez Sales & Expression Strategist | EFT Practitioner Bea helps skilled, driven women become more confident and expressive in the way they show up, market, and sell. Drawing on 15 years of corporate sales experience alongside mindset and EFT work, she helps clients address the fears and limiting beliefs that can keep them from being visible, communicating directly, confidently making offers, and following up with potential clients. https://www.instagram.com/itsbealopez?igsh=MWVmYTk2YThnMm5xaw== Get a bundle of 4 EFT Tappings [link to gift] What You Need to Grow Podcast is presented by Badass Podcast Mastery and Jennie Bellinger, C.P.C.

  Mary Theresa McLean: Turn Google Reviews Into Real Revenue

  Sep 25, 202650 min

  Episode Summary Your Google reviews aren't just testimonials—they can be powerful business assets working for you 24/7. In this episode, Jennie Bellinger sits down with Mary Theresa McLean , founder of Rising Review , to talk about how small business owners can turn Google reviews into trust, visibility, stronger customer relationships, and ultimately more revenue. After more than four decades as an entrepreneur, Mary Theresa has seen marketing evolve dramatically, but she believes one of today's most powerful strategies is also one of the simplest: consistently asking customers for honest reviews and then actually responding to them. Mary Theresa explains the importance of review velocity, why thoughtful responses can be just as valuable as the original review, and how businesses can ethically encourage feedback without crossing the line into review manipulation. She and Jennie also explore how reviews, AI, and what Mary Theresa calls a business's "source of truth" may work together as consumers increasingly turn to AI to discover and evaluate businesses.   Three Topics Discussed How to consistently ask customers for Google reviews without making the process complicated. How thoughtful responses to both positive and negative reviews can strengthen customer relationships and become business assets. Ethical, questionable, and fake review practices—and why businesses should ask for honest feedback rather than a predetermined star rating.   Three Key Takeaways from Mary Theresa McLean Ask for the review. One of the simplest ways to generate more reviews is also the easiest to forget. Make asking for honest customer feedback a consistent part of your business process. Respond to your reviews. Mary Theresa recommends responding within 24–48 hours and writing genuine, human responses instead of generic "thank you" messages. Don't fear a negative review. A respectful, helpful response gives potential customers an opportunity to see how your business handles problems and can turn a negative review into a business asset.   “People are starting to look for businesses that respond to their reviews.” — Mary Theresa McLean   Connect with Mary Theresa McLean Founder, Rising Review | Entrepreneur | Google Review Strategist Mary Theresa has been an entrepreneur since 1983 and has spent decades learning and applying real-world marketing strategies for small businesses. Today, through Rising Review , she helps small business owners use reviews, responses, and simple systems to strengthen their online presence, build trust, and turn customer feedback into opportunities for growth. risingreview.com https://www.facebook.com/risingreviewhq Get Mary's AI Readiness Audit that helps establish a business’ Source of Truth Take the audit here: https://risingreview.com/grow What You Need to Grow Podcast is presented by Badass Podcast Mastery and Jennie Bellinger, C.P.C.

  Neil Giller: Stop Listening to Your Own Business Bullsh*t

  Sep 24, 202649 min

  Episode Summary Being your own boss can be one of the best parts of entrepreneurship—and one of the hardest. When you're responsible for everything from finding clients and networking to invoicing and delivering the actual work, running a business can quickly become a lonely balancing act. In this episode, Jennie Bellinger sits down with Neil Giller , speaker, business transformation expert, powerhouse networker, and founder of The Real Neil . Neil shares his journey from leaving school and entering the family business to experiencing a breakdown that ultimately became a breakthrough and completely changed the direction of his life and career. Neil and Jennie dig into the realities of entrepreneurship, including accountability, work-life balance, networking, referrals, customer retention, and learning to get comfortable being uncomfortable. Neil shares why business owners need people around them who will provide both the "kick up the ass and the cuddle," why your reputation travels with every referral you make, and why your next opportunity for growth might be sitting within the clients you already have.   Three Topics Discussed Why entrepreneurship can be lonely and the importance of surrounding yourself with other business owners. Why networking, relationships, and word-of-mouth referrals remain powerful tools for business growth. Customer retention and why business owners should look for opportunities to better serve and upsell existing clients instead of constantly chasing new ones.   Three Key Takeaways from Neil Giller Get comfortable being uncomfortable. Growth often requires doing things that don't come naturally, from networking and public speaking to asking for business and putting yourself in new situations. Networking isn't optional if you want people talking about your business. Neil encourages entrepreneurs to get out from behind their computers, build genuine relationships, and make sure people understand who they are and what they do. Stop focusing exclusively on finding new customers. Existing happy clients already know, like, and trust you. Look for additional ways you can solve their problems, serve them, and create more value.   “The more you show people that you care about them genuinely, the more you're gonna make an impact.” — Neil Giller   Connect with Neil Giller Business Transformation Expert | Speaker | Networking Powerhouse | Founder of The Real Neil Neil helps business owners turn their "can'ts into cans" so they can build stronger businesses while creating what he calls a life-work balance . His approach combines practical business experience, accountability, networking, relationship building, and plenty of straight-talking encouragement. https://www.facebook.com/neil.giller.5   https://www.linkedin.com/in/lord-neil-giller-radiator/   https://www.instagram.com/neilgiller   https://www.tiktok.com/@neilgiller   Neil offers WYNTG listeners the opportunity to have a free one-hour strategy session with him.

  Dr. Nat Green: Why Knowing Better Isn’t Always Enough to Create Change

  Sep 18, 202654 min

  Episode Summary Have you ever done the personal development work, gained the self-awareness, and known what you should do next—yet still found yourself hitting an invisible ceiling? In this episode, Jennie Bellinger sits down with Dr. Nat Green , a transformational breakthrough coach, author, and host of the Growing Tall Poppies: Thrive After Trauma podcast. After more than 35 years working in clinical and health psychology, Dr. Nat's own experience with trauma led her to explore approaches beyond traditional therapy and eventually develop a deeper framework for understanding the protective patterns that can keep people stuck. Dr. Nat introduces her seven transformational archetypes and explains how each carries both strengths and a "shadow side." She and Jennie explore what Dr. Nat calls identity fractures , the connection between the head, heart, gut, and nervous system, and why insight alone may not always create the transformation you're looking for. Dr. Nat even guides Jennie through a brief exercise that demonstrates how reconnecting with an empowering experience can create a powerful internal resource for moving forward.   Three Topics Discussed The seven transformational archetypes and the strengths and challenges associated with each. What Dr. Nat calls identity fractures and how she uses them in her transformational coaching framework. Moving beyond simply understanding your patterns to creating deeper, more integrated change.   Three Key Takeaways from [Guest First &Last] Your strengths and struggles may be connected. The qualities that help you survive difficult experiences can also develop a shadow side that limits you when those protective patterns are no longer needed. What keeps you stuck doesn't have to come from a major traumatic event. Dr. Nat describes how seemingly small childhood experiences can influence the meaning we make about ourselves and the protective behaviors we develop. Awareness is only part of transformation. Understanding a pattern cognitively may not be enough; Dr. Nat's approach also explores emotions, the body, and nervous-system responses.   “When the three brains are connecting and integrating, we have clarity, we make good choices, and we feel appropriately.” — Dr. Nat Green   Connect with Nat Green Transformational Breakthrough Coach | Author | Host of Growing Tall Poppies: Thrive After Trauma Dr. Nat spent more than 35 years working in the trauma and personal-growth space with a background in clinical and health psychology. Her current coaching work focuses on helping high-achieving women identify protective patterns and move beyond insight toward deeper transformation. natalie.green@bettalifesolutions.com.au   Dr. Nat's free 2–3 minute assessment designed to identify their transformational archetype profile. The results provide insight into the archetypes that most strongly influence how they respond to challenges, including their strengths and potential shadow patterns.
