Publishing Your Book and Staying True To Yourself Along The Way with Marti Statler

Today we’re talking about my offer ecosystem—how it’s designed to feed into itself, how it’s evolved over the past nearly 7 years, and who it’s for. And we’re talking about this for 2 main reasons: as always, so that you can put some fresh perspective and inspiration as you reimagine your own offer suite. And so that you know how it might look and feel to work with me on your values-aligned messaging, marketing, and decision-making.  PS: This is the last episode, either forever or for an indeterminate amount of time. Thanks for listening. Stay connected. And wishing you all the best of luck and tons of confident, meaningful action, now and in the months and years to come.

I’m so excited to chat with Emily Dean, Messaging Strategist & Founder of Bolt & Bloom. She’s on a mission to get more women founders to the $1 million mark—without burning out. And she’s doing it by combining her corporate marketing chops with a deep belief that women should put themselves first. We talk about messaging being your brand’s soul and DNA personified, wellbeing as a core KPI, and the power of brevity. It’s a conversation that mixes work with woo in all the best, most actionable ways.

It can be really tricky finding the balance between the private and public parts of yourself in an online business or any sort of personal brand. The good news is, there’s a way (or a million different ways) to show your personal side WITHOUT sacrificing your privacy. And that personal touch, that human element is SO essential when it comes to empathetic, conscious, human-first marketing and business.

I’m so excited to chat with Angelica Evilsizor. If ever there was a case for taking the time to increase your self-awareness, this episode is it. Angelica shares vulnerable stories, useful prompts, and a beautiful way of viewing life and business. And she gives herself and everyone in her orbit permission to be perfect here and now, while leaving space for “better”.

In this interactive episode for overthinkers and verbal processors, I’m inviting you to think your ideas out loud (or at LEAST on paper) so that you can take action.  Because caring, thinking, and feeling deeply is only detrimental when it prevents us from taking action. When we conflate the thinking and the researching and the planning with the actual doing. The best idea that’s never tested or shared doesn’t make an impact. It doesn’t change anyone’s life, including your own. And it doesn’t create a lasting legacy.  So, let’s do something about that overthinking loop, together. Go on a walk, pull out your voice memos, open a journal, or grab a group you trust to reflect, then act in alignment with your values.

We can lean into and celebrate our perfectionism wherever and however it brings us joy. Forget about recovering from something that inherently drives us. Instead, we can reclaim the fact that we love closing the gap between reality and the ideal.  I unpack a potentially life-changing book about perfectionism, synthesizing big-picture themes and, of course, drawing parallels to values-aligned business and decision-making.

Brands, founders, and audiences aren’t static—they grow and change. In this episode, we explore the sweet spot between staying consistent and being flexible.

I’m so excited to chat with Heather Vickery, Transformation Coach and Community Builder of Vickery and Co. Heather is such a fun blend of being science-and-certification-backed, but intuition-driven. This shines through in both the vulnerable stories she shares and in her coaching practice. She leads by example by fully embracing herself and her capacity for bravery and joy, which gives her community (and now you!) permission to do the same.

In this special semi-solo episode, I’m live auditing the Instagram profile of Angelica Evilsizor. Giving first impressions feedback is one of my favorite things to do because it’s how most people experience your profile, website, and brand. The tweaks I suggest and ideas I leave for you to consider can go a long way in connecting with the perfect-fit people you want to be in relationship with.  I do live audits like this quarterly-ish via public About You Audits and anytime via Private About You Audits. Both are linked below! And bonus: come back for episode 101 when I do a full interview with Angelica!
