I used to have a habit of making my own wins not count. A lead that was not big enough did not count. A client who eventually said no meant it was a complete failure.
Meanwhile, I was sitting on real, tangible proof that my marketing was working, but couldn’t see it because of the story I was constantly telling myself.
This episode goes underneath last week's decision to launch Get Seen and Sell Out, into the actual internal work behind it. It goes into the stories I’ve been telling myself, the meaning I do or don’t make of situations anymore, and the identity shift that finally let me see proof that was there all along.
This episode is backed by the neuroscience behind why the stories you tell yourself matter more than you may even realize. And how it’ll impact both your wellbeing, as well as your business’ success.
In This Episode, You'll Hear:
The story I used to tell myself about my own wins, and how it quietly stole years of my confidence
Why the low point I hit at the start of 2026 forced me to take my mindset as seriously as my strategy
The neuroscience behind the red Jeep effect, and why our brains are wired to prove us right
The real, real time story of a $10K client from a TikTok video that only got 353 views
Why I called it a win before the contract was even signed, and why that mattered more than the signature
The identity shift that lets me savor the small wins as much as the big ones now
What this looks like whether you pour your heart into content and hear nothing back, or you live and die by the data and it still doesn't add up
Who This Episode Is For
Anyone who's ever discounted their own win because it wasn't big enough, fast enough, or fully signed
Founders who feel like they're screaming into the void, hoping someone out there is actually listening
Anyone stuck in the story that their marketing isn't working, even when the evidence says otherwise
The heart led founder who pours everything into a post and hears nothing back
The data driven operator whose dashboard never seems to tell the whole story
This isn't just the strategy behind clients like the TikTok inquiry I talk about in this episode. It's the mindset that comes up around putting yourself out there too, crickets, weird comments, and all.
