117. LIFE UPDATE! (I never thought I'd say this...)
Hi friends, I have something biggggggg to share with you today. And, as with most big life things, it came with a lot of lessons.
Lessons about limiting beliefs, lessons about identities, lessons about being "stuck", and many more.
Have you ever worried about something so much, only to have it come together perfectly? That's what's happened to me in the last few weeks, and I can't wait to share.
Hear my big news and learn from the lessons I had along the way in today's episode of Sit With Brit.

114. Playing the short-term game (without giving up on your long-term vision) with Chris Creed
The last few years required us to pivot in ways we never saw coming. Lots of business owners needed to shift what had how they were offering their products.
Chris Creed decided to go all-in on a live events business just 2 short weeks before the world shut down. Since then, he pivoted several times, but never let go of his long-term vision.
In this episode, we talk about the mindset needed to make those kinds of decisions. We also talk about working at big (well-known) companies and how seeing "behind the curtain" shifted the way we view things.
And of course, we talked about therapy -- I always talk about therapy.
This is the perfect episode to listen to if you're at a crossroads or wondering where to go next in your business.

99. What it's like to have a session with a Medium (& why you should consider it) with Haylie Arb
I'll be honest, I was really hesitant to bring this topic up on the show. There is so much stigma around the spirit would and practices like mediumship. But the more I thought about it, the more I realized that's exactly why I SHOULD talk about it.
A few months ago, my grandma died. From that day, I started getting clue after clue after clue that having a reading was something I should explore. That's when I found our guest today, Haylie Arb.
During my session with her, I found so much peace, clarity, and guidance. It was amazing, and I wanted to share it with you. So I asked Haylie to come on and talk about what her journey has been, what a session is like, and how she responds to "skeptics" or people who are unsure about all of this.

98. Why Your Content Isn't Converting
Does your marketing content feel stale?

If so, try out this small but powerful shift that is guaranteed to inspire action from your followers!
(In my opinion, this fixes one of the TOP marketing mistakes entrepreneurs make.)

97. My Fav Mindset & Mental Health Analogy (you'll want to steal this!)
We know that mindset and mental health are different things... but when we're facing a mental block, it can still be hard to determine where to start.
I often found myself asking questions like: Is this an anxiety thing? Or something else?
Should I go to my therapist or my coach?
But recently an analogy came to me that helps keep everything crystal clear! Listen in to this short episode where I explain everything.

96. Finding (& Stopping) Energy Leaks In Your Business
A few weeks ago I stopped EVERYTHING in my business save for this podcast.
I shut down my agency (minus one amazing client).
I stopped selling my courses.
I quit coaching in other programs.
I closed down everything except for the two things I wanted to focus on.
Why?
It all goes back to something I heard at Funnel Hacking LIVE 2020...
So let's sit down and chat!

95. What Perfectionism REALLY Is (& How It's Holding You Back...)
Perfectionism has a long-standing reputation for being a good "weakness" to site in job interviews.
It's seen as something that keeps us working on a project for longer than we should because we want it to be juuuuuust so.
But what if perfectionism is something far deeper? What if it's something that discounts opportunities long before we're even conscious of them?
I believe we're just scratching the surface when it comes to how damaging perfectionism can be.
The good news is, awareness is the first step to breaking free! So let's sit down and chat...

Do you panic when someone asks you, "So, what do you do?"

If so... you're not alone. This is my open letter to you.

The Intersection of Mental Health & Marketing
For a year I hit a WALL when it came to my personal development...
I was reading books, participating in big masterminds, paying a high-ticket coach... and yet it felt like I had stopped growing.
That's when I discovered the intersection of mental health and marketing. It's often hidden, but once you know it's there, it's a GAME CHANGER.
This is a critical episode for anyone who feels stagnant in their work or like there's something deeper going on.
Welcome To Sit With Brit!
Welcome to Sit With Brit!

Opinion: You Can't Separate Marketing & Mindset
The premise of this show is that we talk about marketing & mindset tactics that help online coaches stay afloat no matter what the world throws at them.
And for a long time, I viewed those two fields (marketing & mindset) as related, but separate. However, the longer I do this, I more I realize we really can't separate them at all!
Today I'm sharing why we need to go on our own mindset journey to effectively market to our customers, and why we need to continue to market our businesses to uplevel our mindsets.

It's Not Personal (Making The Decisions You Need To Make)
There's something going on in our world that I want to address... implied lines in the sand.
If you support this company, you can't support that company.
If you use this software, you can't use this software.
If you like this person, you can't like that person.
It's great marketing, but it's simply not true! I know that first hand.
So today I want to talk about two of the toughest decisions I've ever made in my business, leaving ClickFunnels (as an employee) and leaving my mastermind the Digital Insiders.

The Unexpected Benefits Of Practicing What You Preach
Practicing what we preach (i.e. working on our mindset as we talk about how important mindset is) is something we all aim for, but it's easy to get caught being the "cobbler with no shoes"... especially if you are/you were a service provider.
But did you know that staying in integrity can majorly uplevel your content game? It can even take your courses from "technically good" to "OMG transformation city!!".

Are You *Really* Ready To Hire An Expert?
How do you know if you're REALLY ready to hire an expert in your business? When should you DIY it and when should you outsource it?
We've all heard the advice to start hiring before you're "ready", but as a service provider, I've seen online many coaches run into trouble by bringing in an expert too soon.
So here's my take on how to know if you're really ready to hire an expert,
