• 115. You're Also Interviewing Them: 5 Discovery Call Questions They Won't Expect
    2026/03/02

    I took on my last OBM client even though I saw red flags on the discovery call. I needed the income, so I dismissed the tingles and took her on anyway. It was not great. Not great at all.

    Here's what nobody tells you about discovery calls: You're not a candidate hoping to get picked. You're a business owner deciding whether this is someone you want to work with. It's a two-way decision.

    In this episode, I'm sharing five questions to ask on discovery calls that will reveal whether someone is actually a good fit, what red flags to watch for, and why the real solution isn't better questions, it's having a clear offer that pre-qualifies people before they even book the call.

    Because when your offer is clear enough, you shift from "audition mode" to "vibe check mode."

  • 114. The Wrong Kind of Uncomfortable (And What to Do Instead)
    2026/02/23

    A TikTok about learning Spanish through exposure therapy and humiliation got me thinking about business. Not in the way you think.

    Here's the thing: I know you're already uncomfortable. You're already pushing through, hustling, saying yes to clients, taking on projects, showing up. That's not your problem. That's actually the part that's going to burn you out.

    In this episode, I'm breaking down the difference between the wrong kind of uncomfortable (working harder, posting more, taking on more clients) and the RIGHT kind of uncomfortable, the kind that comes from changing the game completely.

    Because you're already doing hard things. Let's just make sure you're uncomfortable in the right direction.

    Ready to identify the uncomfortable shifts that will actually move you forward? I'm offering free 45-minute business audit calls: dancingleafsolutions.com/business-audit

  • 113. Consistent Income Without Retainers: Building Project-Based w/ Kim Vargo
    2026/02/16

    Kim Vargo was a high school math teacher for 10 years. She had three-and-a-half-year-old twins. Her heart just wasn't in teaching anymore, and she was desperately Googling "what can I do besides teaching" while feeling completely pigeonholed. Then she found the world of virtual assistants and took the leap—even though she had no idea if she could make consistent money.

    In this episode, Kim shares how she went from general VA work to becoming a certified Dubsado specialist for wedding professionals, why she's not afraid to just try things and pivot if they don't work, and her biggest hurdle as a business owner (spoiler: it's not what you think).

    If you've ever felt stuck in a career that's draining you, or if you're building a service business and struggling with consistent income, this conversation will give you permission to just start.

  • 112. The Real Reason You Can't Have Slow Mornings in Your Service Business
    2026/02/09

    I left my nursing career specifically for slow mornings. I'm not a morning person, I wanted to wake up naturally, sip tea on my balcony, meditate, take long dog walks, and ease into my workday feeling centered.

    That lasted for about a week. Then I had 8 clients, then 10, then 12. I was waking up to Slack notifications before I'd even opened my eyes. Working through breakfast. Responding to clients on Saturdays because I wanted to keep them.

    In this episode, I'm breaking down why slow mornings don't happen by accident, how I built my business backwards (and you probably did too), and the four questions that reveal what's actually blocking your slow mornings.

    Because slow mornings aren't a luxury you earn after you "make it." They're strategic. And you have to design them.

    Ready to see what's blocking your slow mornings? I'm offering free 45-minute business audit calls.

  • 111. Stop Selling Hours, Start Selling Results: How to Make More Money Working Less
    2026/02/02

    Is it even possible to slow down and make more money as a done-for-you service provider? Because when you look at your business now and actually add up the numbers, you run out of hours in the day. But what if slowing down is actually how you make more money? Not in spite of it, but because of it.

    I know that sounds backwards. Especially when you're drowning in client work, working all the time, and still not meeting your income goals. In this episode, I'm breaking down why the hustle harder approach is keeping you stuck at your current income level, and what to do instead.

    Because you can have income AND freedom. It's not opposites.

  • 110. From Reactive Employee to Strategic CEO: How to Reclaim Your Business
    2026/01/26

    Picture this: You just finished a client call. You showed up, you delivered, you were professional. But now you're staring at your to-do list feeling resentful. Not because the work is terrible or you hate your clients, but because somewhere along the way, you started feeling like someone else's assistant instead of a business owner.

    In this episode, I'm breaking down the difference between operating as an employee in your business versus stepping into the CEO role, the three things that create this dynamic, and why you can have the perfect offer and systems but still feel stuck if your identity hasn't caught up.

    Because if you're working hard but feeling like your business is running you instead of the other way around, this isn't about working harder, it's about stepping into a different role.

  • 109. Your Nervous System Is Keeping You Stuck: The Truth About Comfort Zones in Business
    2026/01/19

    Here's a confession: I was not born a naturally brave person when it comes to change. My body's reaction was tight chest, nausea, the urge to stay exactly where I was, even if it kind of sucked. And that physical "no" reaction is what I want to talk about today, because there's a paradox I see constantly in business: we stay in situations that make us miserable because they're familiar.

    In this episode, I'm breaking down the comfort zone paradox, why your nervous system would rather keep you stressed but predictable than move you toward something better, and what actually happens when you stop clinging to what's comfortable.

    Because if your business looks successful on paper but feels brittle inside, you're not imagining it.

    Are you stuck in your own comfort zone paradox? I'm offering a limited number of free 45-minute business audit calls to help you identify what needs to shift.
