Ep: (147) Part 1: 10 Lessons Learned in 2025

Join me for the first part of my special 3-part series where I pull back the curtain on the tears, hard conversations, and unexpected lessons that made 2025 such a transformative year. Today, we dive into four tactical insights on knowing your true value, finding crystal-clear messaging, and a game-changing strategy for launching any new offer. You definitely don't want to miss the shocking story of the $150 video that's been viewed millions of times, proving why you might be severely undervaluing your own genius!

What You Will Learn in This Episode:

• Discover why the thing you find easiest might be the very thing you are severely undervaluing in the market. You’ll hear the hilarious, real-life story of how one simple video earned me just $150 but has been used countless times by a major company, forcing me to rethink my true worth.

• Uncover the emotional journey all content creators face—from Imposter Syndrome to the "cringey stage"—and why mastering your own message is "King" before you even think about outsourcing your content.

• Find out the smart way to test your big idea (like writing a book or creating a new offer) and how you can prime your audience for a successful launch before you've even finished the product.

• Learn the single most powerful strategy I used to sell out my first in-person event, and why taking a simple step before you launch anything will eliminate your anxiety and boost your confidence.

 

Don't forget to look out for the next two parts of this series where I'll dive into more internal, uncomfortable, but incredibly valuable lessons I learned this year!
