Welcome to Stop Waffling & Start Selling

Stop Waffling & Start Selling

In my very first episode of Stop Waffling & Start Selling, I’m sharing a bit about my own journey from corporate lawyer to the world of online business—and how storytelling became my unexpected superpower. Back in 2020, I wrote a book called 'Do Not Try Him at Home', which opened the door to entrepreneurs reaching out for my advice on using personal stories to drive their businesses forward.

Despite being a certified master persuader and creating a program called "Stop Waffling, Start Selling," I’ve faced my own struggles—particularly with pricing and getting comfortable with being called a coach. Spoiler alert: it wasn’t an easy ride! But I found my sweet spot with podcasting. Now, through this platform, I’m able to share my expertise in a way that feels both authentic and accessible.

This podcast is all about storytelling, business strategies, and helping entrepreneurs like you stay true to yourselves while building something amazing online. Let’s dive in together!
