If you feel overworked BUT working with other people in your business also feels stressful — clients, freelancers, VAs, etc. — this episode will explain why.

This conversation is about leadership skills for entrepreneurs, especially the leadership no one teaches you when you start a business:

• how you communicate under stress
• how you handle conflict
• how your own patterns (and baggage) shape your business
  
  

It’s about this messy truth most entrepreneurs hide from:

If managing people drains your energy, costs you time, or keeps creating the same issues with different people… it’s not a “them” problem.

It’s a leadership one…

In this podcast interview, I’m joined by Jody Urquhart, a former stand-up comedian turned leadership and communication expert with over 25 years of experience. She brings lots of humor and honesty to how to be a leader — especially as a small business owner.

This episode is for small business owners and entrepreneurs who:

• Want to know how to manage others better
• Work with clients, VAs, freelancers, or contractors
• Feel drained by emails, hiring or where to even begin

Jody talks about why many entrepreneurs repeat the same team and client issues even as their business grows.

By the end of this episode, you’ll understand how to be a leader that people love working with (so you can grow faster and NOT burn out.)

Inside this conversation:

• Leadership skills every entrepreneur needs to grow
• How to manage a team (or freelancers) with less conflict
• How to be a leader who understands people instead of trying to control them

This is a special encore of one of the most popular episodes on the podcast.

If you've heard it before, you'll still want to listen in because this is the ULTIMATE MOTIVATION FOR YOUR BUSINESS.

The original episode 54....

If you’ve ever said “I’m not expert enough” or “I’ll share when I’m more ready”—this is your visibility wake-up call.

In this solo episode, I’m sharing the invisible blocks that hold so many women back from owning their voice, showing up, and getting visible in a way that actually connects.

It's about stepping into thought leadership—and why visibility isn’t about being viral, it’s about being real.

Whether you're launching a podcast, pivoting your message, or finally putting your voice out there, I’m walking you through why you don’t need to be viral, polished, or credentialed to make an impact—you just need to start.

🎯 What You’ll Hear

• The Invisible Identity Trap that had me sitting on podcast ideas for five years
• Why your voice doesn’t need a PhD—just lived experience and courage to speak it
• The visibility dare I’m inviting you to take this week

I break down the blocks to being visible—from perfectionism to waiting for the “right moment”—and dare you to show up now.

🎧 Listen for visibility myths + real ways to reclaim your voice.

📲 DM your visibility dare to @chardetryel on Instagram—I want to cheer for you!

This is a special encore of one of the most popular episodes on the podcast.

If you've heard it before, you'll still want to listen in because we get rid of that fear that's stopping you from "doing the thing!"

The original episode: 49....

I’m officially 12 years into this wild entrepreneurial ride. (If I had a baby when I started, it would be a pre-teen — let that sink in).

To mark the moment — and honestly, to save you from a few of my hard-earned mistakes — I’m sharing the 12 biggest lessons I wish I’d known sooner. These are the ones I had to learn the long way, so you don’t have to.

This isn’t a list of quick fixes or surface-level advice. This is about the lessons that change how you think, how you build, and how you lead.

Inside this episode, I’m opening up about:

• 🧩 The messy truth about your first clients — and how I went from zero sign-ups to 200 in one weekend (without a fancy website or audience).

• 💸 Why cheaper offers aren’t always the easier sell (This one still surprises me — and I’ll tell you exactly why it happens.)

• 🤝 The real reason “doing it alone” slows you down — and how collaborations boosted my growth.

It’s an honest, unpolished chat — full of stories, lessons, and the things I wish someone had told me back in year one. If you’re building, pivoting, or just need a reminder that it doesn’t have to be perfect, this one’s for you.

Listen and then come tell me which lesson you feel the the most — I want to hear your stories too!
