  • She Built a Million-Dollar Business and Called It a Pretty Prison (the Truth About Revenue, Grief, and Starting Over)

    She Built a Million-Dollar Business and Called It a Pretty Prison (the Truth About Revenue, Grief, and Starting Over)
    Jun 23 2026
    This is the conversation about the part most founders don't say out loud: the moment you hit the revenue number and feel nothing. Natalie sits down with Jenna Wright — a Pilates studio owner who built a 7-figure business from $1,000 and an air mattress. From the outside, she'd made it. From the inside, she was running at 9% profit, paying herself $80K a year, and calling it — in her own words — a pretty prison. So she did what most founders won't: she dismantled it on purpose. They go inside the math (she was running $1.2M at 9% profit, paying herself $80K/year), the team mutiny that finally broke the model, and the deliberate revenue cut from $1.2M to $650K that tripled her margin to 30%. If you've ever hit the revenue numbers and felt nothing, this episode is the operating system for what comes next. Time Stamps: 07:40 "Tired at a soul level" — the burnout most founders hide 10:00 $1,000 and an air mattress: the rebuild from zero 14:05 $250K to $875K in one year (and the cost it hid) 19:10 The misery beneath success 25:15 The team mutiny that broke the business model 28:33 The math: cutting 4 studios to 2, profit triples 31:50 "Your business will expose every wound you have" 33:00 The 7-day retreat that reorganized everything 40:05 The lessons Jenna is rewriting today Resources + Links: Pre-Order The Freedom-Based Business Method.

    In this episode, Natalie sits down with Keren Eldad — coach to some of the world's highest achievers and author of Gilded and the new Gilt Free — to unpack why external success never delivers the safety it promises. Keren shares the three core wounds beneath achievement addiction, the "gilded cage" so many high-achieving women are trapped in, and the surprising income threshold where what you want out of life finally starts to change. You'll learn how to recognize the wound driving your hustle, why "assume everyone likes you" became her most viral piece of advice, and the riptide rule for holding onto success without letting it consume you. If you've ever achieved everything you set out to and quietly wondered why it's still not enough, this episode is the reframe and the way out. Time Stamps: 03:50 The gilded cage: when the shiny life is the trap 07:50 "Yes, we're addicts" — achievement as addiction 15:30 The 3 core wounds behind every overachiever 18:18 The success coach who still spirals when business slows 21:34 The $500K line that changes what you actually want 27:50 "Assume everyone likes you" — the rule that went viral 38:11 The riptide rule for holding onto success 48:28 Why scaling might be the wrong goal entirely 53:46 What real credibility in coaching actually looks like Links & Resources: Pre-Order The Freedom-Based Business Method.

  • She Makes 7 Figures Working 2 Days a Week—Here’s How (and Why She Almost Lost It All)

    She Makes 7 Figures Working 2 Days a Week—Here’s How (and Why She Almost Lost It All)
    Jun 9 2026
    Most course creators add more channels to scale. Anna Konchar did the opposite and now runs a 7-figure business on 2 days a week. Natalie sits down with Anna Konchar — the funnel strategist behind a 7-figure evergreen course business that runs on 2 days a week while she's home with her three kids. Anna shares the exact mechanics of the evergreen funnel + paid ads engine she's used for eight years, why she cut her podcast and YouTube last year to focus on ONE offer, and how she rebuilt after her payment processor shut down her account overnight. Expect specific numbers, uncomfortable honesty about AI in funnels, and a framework you can test against your own course business this quarter. If you've ever wondered how a course creator can scale to seven figures without launching live, this episode is the operating system. Time Stamps: 03:11 From laid-off to full-time entrepreneur in 30 minutes 07:33 The funnel that sells while she sleeps 16:55 When the offer stops converting, fix THIS first 21:30 The pricing test most course creators never run 24:00 The webinar mistake 99% of course creators make 32:13 The day her recurring revenue disappeared overnight 39:10 How a 7-figure founder preps for maternity leave Resources + Links Annakonchar.com/bossbabe Find Anna on IG: https://www.instagram.com/annakonchar/ Pre-Order The Freedom-Based Business Method.
