  • 'Her Business' is my standing weekly date. Suzie has a way of making the messy parts of running a business feel completely survivable. Solo or staffed up, this one's for you. Who's your go-to voice when business gets loud?

  • Practical and Real

    Suzi brings so many practical teachings for running a small business, and then when she has your attention and confidence, hits you (with love) with the hard truths we need to face in order to love and succeed in our business. (And the podcast always ties in perfectly with the monthly focus for the HerBusiness membership. 😎)

    Thank you Suzi, this podcast really hit the mark today.

    A few months ago I had a health crisis which I’ve been actively working on.

    I’m in the process of re-scaling and re-doing our systems and processes through AI slowly.

    The simplicity of the suggestions will add tremendous value. Thank you.

  • Inspired & authentic business guidance

    Suzi’s podcast offers great guidance for my business that I can really resonate with. It gets me out of my head and into an overview-a bird’s eye view that gives me lots of ‘ aha ‘ moments. I get to stand back and look at how my business is unfolding and how it can be integrated into the whole of my life with more ease. The perfect example is the recent episode on personal relationships and business and how one ripples into the other. So practical and authentic plus I picked up so many tips! I f... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

358: Your Brand Walks Into the Room Before You Do — What Is It Saying?
Q: What changes first when she starts embodying who she wants to be?
A quiet confidence emerges as she puts herself first, sets boundaries, and starts delegating—leading to a visible shift in presence, decisions, and how she shows up in rooms.
358: Your Brand Walks Into the Room Before You Do — What Is It Saying?
Q: When women come to you at inflection points, what are they really grappling with beneath the surface?
They feel a misalignment between the external appearance and the inner shift they've undergone, which erodes confidence; the key is recognizing that gap and rebuilding how they show up so it matches who they are becoming.
355: When Your Business Has Grown—But Your Message Hasn't
Q: What is the single most important decision about your own story to change how you show up as a leader?
Believe that your story is worthy of being heard, regardless of where you are in your business or life, and start from there by identifying what you want to be known for.
356: Is Your Marketing Strategy Flopping… Or Does It Just Need More Time?
Q: How long should I run a marketing strategy before I judge it, and how do I avoid knee-jerk pivots?
Give it 90 days (often longer, up to six months for some initiatives) to assess true momentum; measure if there are early signs like increased engagement or better alignment, not just immediate conversions, and resist panic that leads to overhauling messaging, offers, or targeting mid-campaign.
353: The "I'll Just Do It Myself" Trap and How to Get Out of It
Q: There is only so much I can do to make money. I can't rely on anyone else to support me.
The host explains that the issue isn't just the team; it's a combination of leadership, systems, mindset, and hiring. By strengthening these areas and shifting the founder's role from doer to leader, a business can achieve leverage where tasks are delegated with clear outcomes, well-defined done criteria, and a compelling vision that motivates the team.
