NEW: A free audio series to unblock your self-worth and call in premium clients


Hi Reader,

A few years ago I had major wake-up call from my future self.

I was in the middle of a launch, and I had stayed up past midnight obsessing over every word in the emails, the BONUS offers on the sales page and the perfect Instagram captions.

I wanted it to sound polished but personal, and confident, but not too pushy.

After weeks and months of work, I finally hit publish, and… nothing.

Crickets.

The world's tiniest violin welcomed me to the Invisible Club.

Even though I’d poured hours (and honestly, years) into becoming the kind of coach, and I knew could help my future clients.

Somehow I was missing the mark when it came to sales.

So I rewrote, I reshared, I showed up harder, but it only gave me more cringe and left me feeling drained.

More hustle didn’t help.

It was only once I shifted my energy - not my strategy - that my sales (and confidence) started to flow.

The way you feel about selling matters more than anything you say.

In this weeks short but sweet episode of Mindset to Market, I'm sharing my solution to this common problem.

✨ It’s called The Premium Client Energetic Self-Audit, and it’s a private 6-episode podcast to help you:

  • Stop oversharing and undercharging
  • Sell without leaking your power
  • Receive clients, income, and visibility without the hustle hangover

This series is short, actionable, and completely free. You’ll get access to all 6 episodes delivered via email.

👉🏽 Listen to the Trailer Now

If you’ve ever stayed up late tweaking your sales page for the 15th time…

If you’ve ever launched with your whole heart only to be met with crickets…

If you’ve ever wondered why other people seem to sell with ease while you feel exhausted just showing up…

Then I created this for you.

This isn’t just a mindset shift — it’s a self-worth recalibration.

Give it a listen and then join me here for the full series,

Deborah

P.S. This is the bonus audio to wrap our 3-part podcast mini-series on sales energetics. If you loved those episodes, this will take it deeper. I promise you will walk away feeling more clear about sales.
