  Hi! I was on a call with a client this week and we were mapping out what many coin an ideal client or dream client. When we got to listing their pain points, she said something that caught my attention:She said naming pain points is easy. Using them in my marketing is what scares me.

• 83 | How I 10x’d My Instagram Reach Without Showing My Face or Spending Hours Creating Content 08.05.2026 10min

  Hi! LOL I need to come clean about something. I literally broke up with Instagram earlier this year. I told anyone and everything that would listen, "Instagram is my side chick now."  And I meant it, that's still true.  But recently I started playing with a completely new faceless account that nobody knew about. Not my friends, family, or even my husband. Until now... And what happened completely changed the way I think about Instagram as an online coach. In this episode I’m sharing the simple three part strategy I used to 10x my Instagram reach without showing my face, my house, and without spending more than 30 minutes batching content at a time. If you’re a mompreneur or online business coach who has felt like Instagram required you to share your whole life, look perfect on camera, and show up every single day just to stay relevant (which is taking you hours)… this episode is going to feel like a breathe of fresh air.

• 82 | When It Feels Like Nothing Is Working in Your Business: The Mindset Shift That Changes Everything 06.05.2026 8min

  Hi! Coming in whispering before Anaya wakes up. Yesterday, I was in a chat with a client. She’s been trying so many things in her business and nothing has felt like it’s working. And she asked me, what do you think my next step should be? Then once I offered a suggestion, she said, "I don't think that will work for me." And the truth is, she's not the first or the last person that will feel that way. Have you ever thought that?  "Wow, must be nice!" "Tried that, that, and that... but nothing has ever worked" Yeah, I get it. It's normal.  And what I've learned is no strategy will work as long as you are paddling upstream. How do you know you're paddling upstream, you ask? Simple. You don't feel good. In today's episode I’m sharing what I told her, why I believe your business will do better once you feel better, and the upstream versus downstream framework from Abraham Hicks that has completely changed the way I make decisions, show up for my clients and take radical responsibility for myself. If you’re a coach, consultant, or service provider who has been trying everything and still feels stuck… and you’re ready to explore what happens when you lead with your emotional guidance system instead of just more strategy… this one might be exactly what you needed to hear today.

• 79 | Speak to Be Felt, Not Understood: Why Real Expression Connects More Than Perfect Words with Natalie Farrell 30.04.2026 33min

  Hi! For Natalie's last day, she takes the mic and gives a full transmission. She challenges us to move beyond “what to say” and into consideration of how we're actually saying it.  Remember, Natalie is a voice mentor and not a business coach. However, a lot of what she speaks about can serve you as a business owner. She shares her perspective on voice as more than just communication by talking about the difference between performing and being present, why so many of us unconsciously filter or edit ourselves when we speak, and how that impacts the way others receive us. If you’ve ever felt like your message isn’t landing, or like you’re saying all the “right” things but something still feels off, this will explain why. She also explores the deeper layers of self-expression with things like fear of rejection, people-pleasing, and the subtle ways we’ve learned to shape our voice for others. And what it actually looks like to unwind that… to speak in a way that feels honest, embodied, and fully you. If you’ve been craving more connection in your conversations, your content, or your life… this episode is an invitation to stop performing and start expressing. Because when your voice is real, it doesn’t just get heard. It gets felt. See you inside! Mari ✨ This is Day 3 of 3 with Natalie as the Centerfold.

• 78 | From Desire to Speak on Stages to Being Published 30+ Times with Natalie Farrell 29.04.2026 32min

  Hi! I’m back with Natalie Farrell and we’re going deeper into something I think so many business owners desire but don’t always know how to act on... the desire to speak on stages, share your story, and actually be seen for your voice. Natalie shares her journey from simply wanting to express herself to being published in over 30 places and consistently stepping onto stages and platforms where her voice is heard. We talk about how storytelling, self-expression, and visibility actually work in real life, and what shifts when you stop keeping your voice private and start letting it be shared. We also explore how your voice builds credibility, how your story becomes opportunities, and why so many people underestimate the power of simply speaking what’s true for them. If you’ve ever felt like you have something to say but haven’t known how to turn that into visibility, stages, or published features, this conversation will help you see what’s possible.
