197 - Q2 2026 Review [Part 2 - Personal]

Hey Chosen One! You're not just a business. You're a whole person running one. And if you've ever felt like the personal side of your life gets zero airtime because you're always in build mode, this episode is for you. Last episode was the business side of my Q2 review. This is Part 2: the personal side. The health stuff, the mom stuff, the family stuff, and the celebrations that made this quarter feel full even when it was a lot.

Gonzo's new cough med 5. The fun stuff: my cousin's baby sprinkle and my BFF getting engaged! If you want more of the behind-the-scenes lifestyle content, that all lives on my Instagram @azaleemaslow, along with my ShopMy where everything I use and love is linked. Grab a cozy drink for this one. It's a life catch-up with your bestie. In this episode: - The health appointments (allergy shots, CT scan, Epstein-Barr, dermatologist, gyno) and what I learned - Why protein became my simplest wellness win this quarter - Life as a mom and business owner: Leo's swim, CrossFit, and dinosaur adventures - Celebrating the people I love: a baby sprinkle, an engagement, and even Gonzo's new cough med   WORK WITH ME:  💰 Join Rich and Recognized: The Membership - $222/month https://www.azaleemaslow.com/membership [https://www.azaleemaslow.com/membership]  👑 Apply for Rich and Recognized: The Mastermind - $2,222/month https://www.azaleemaslow.com/mastermind [https://www.azaleemaslow.com/mastermind]    CONNECT WITH ME: 💓 Join our free Facebook Community: https://www.facebook.com/groups/3959588124166778/ [https://www.facebook.com/groups/3959588124166778/]    LINKS MENTIONED IN THE SHOW: 🛍️ Shop my favorites on ShopMy: https://shopmy.us/shop/azaleemaslow [https://shopmy.us/shop/azaleemaslow]  📸 Follow me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/azaleemaslow/ [https://www.instagram.com/azaleemaslow/]

196 - Q2 2026 Review [Part 1 - Business]

Hey Chosen One! If Q2 had you doing all the things and still wondering why nothing was really growing, this episode is your permission slip to simplify. I'm pulling back the curtain for a full review of my Q2 (this is Part 1, the business side): what I built, what I cut, what I renamed, and where every ounce of my energy is going next. If you're the face of your business (a personal brand, coach, speaker, or author), this is a real behind-the-scenes look at what it takes to build authority online. Here's the truth most people miss: growth doesn't come from adding more. It comes from going all in on less. This quarter I: 1. Built Rich and Recognized (the program) 2. Stopped doing small offers and put all of that teaching on the podcast instead 3. Renamed the podcast and my program, and restructured everything into a Membership and a Mastermind 4. Went all in on 3 things: my podcast, my Instagram, and my 2 offers I'm also sharing where I'm investing to back up that focus (new microphones, the YAP challenge, InstaClubHub Live in September), the programs I'm in right now (All In, P2P, and STS), and why everything ahead comes down to systems, mindset, and those 3 things only. Plus, I joined ShopMy! Everything I use and love is linked on my Instagram @azaleemaslow and below. Grab your notes app. This one's a keeper. In this episode: - Why I stopped selling small offers and gave that content to the podcast instead (and what it freed up) - The rebrand: renaming the podcast and my program, and splitting it into a Membership and a Mastermind - The all-in strategy: 2 offers, 2 platforms, zero shiny objects - Where I'm investing (new mics, the YAP challenge, InstaClubHub Live) and my focus going forward: systems and mindset   WORK WITH ME:  💰 Join Rich and Recognized: The Membership - $222/month https://www.azaleemaslow.com/membership [https://www.azaleemaslow.com/membership]  👑 Apply for Rich and Recognized: The Mastermind - $2,222/month https://www.azaleemaslow.com/mastermind [https://www.azaleemaslow.com/mastermind]    CONNECT WITH ME: 💓 Join our free Facebook Community: https://www.facebook.com/groups/3959588124166778/ [https://www.facebook.com/groups/3959588124166778/]    LINKS MENTIONED IN THE SHOW: 🛍️ Shop my favorites on ShopMy: https://shopmy.us/shop/azaleemaslow [https://shopmy.us/shop/azaleemaslow]  📸 Follow me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/azaleemaslow/ [https://www.instagram.com/azaleemaslow/]

195 - July's Theme is FREEDOM!

Hey Chosen One! You did not start your business to build yourself a brand new job. You started it for freedom. Freedom with your time, freedom to choose how your days look, and freedom with your money. So that is exactly what we are doing all month long. In this episode I reveal the July theme: FREEDOM. Every episode this month is built for the people who ARE the face of their business (personal brands, coaches, speakers, and authors), and they all point back to one thing: building a business that gives you time, choice, and financial freedom instead of taking it from you. Here is the truth most people miss: freedom is not something you get when the business is finally big enough. It is something you design on purpose. This month I am showing you how, including the AI moves I am using to free up my own time so I can focus on what actually grows things (and be present for the life I built this for). I also have a little something I have been sitting on. The podcast is going through a name change. I am not spilling it all today, but I share more in the very next episode, so make sure you are subscribed. And before you go, I am leaving you with one question to sit with over the holiday weekend: what does freedom mean to you? Grab your notes app and answer it honestly. Your whole July starts there. In this episode: * The July theme reveal: FREEDOM, and the three kinds we are chasing (time, choice, and financial freedom) * Why freedom is something you design on purpose, not a prize you get when the business is big enough * The AI moves I am using to free up my time and focus on what grows the business * A teaser: the podcast is getting a name change, and where to hear the full reveal * Your holiday-weekend question: what does freedom mean to you?

194 - The Fastest Way to Make Money Online

Hey Chosen One! If you started your business to make money online, you have probably felt that pull to make it fast. Hustle harder, chase the quick win, get cash in the door this week. I have been there. And looking back, it is the one thing I would do differently. This episode is the real answer to the fastest way to make money online, made for the people who ARE the face of their business (personal brands, coaches, speakers, and authors). It is not the answer you think it is. Here is the truth most people miss: fast money and lasting money are not the same game. You can absolutely do things that bring cash in quickly. But the move that actually pays you for years is the one nobody calls fast. In this one I walk through: (1) the regret that cost me time when I first started, (2) why quick-money plays cap out, and (3) the one filter that keeps you consistent long enough to actually win. I am sharing the thing I wish I had spent my first year doing, instead of chasing the next dollar. Grab your notes app. This one's a keeper. In this episode: * My biggest regret from when I started my business, and why chasing fast money kept me small * Why quick-cash moves (flipping at garage sales, one-off 1:1 coaching) bring money in but never scale * The real fastest way to make money online: build your audience and position yourself as an authority * The energy test, and how choosing what you are excited to show up for keeps you consistent and makes people feel you actually want to be there   CONNECT WITH ME: 💓 Join our Facebook Community: https://www.facebook.com/share/g/1CGMZJ1rD3/ [https://www.facebook.com/share/g/1CGMZJ1rD3/]

193 - Playing It Safe Online? How to Get Bolder in Your Brand Voice

Hey Chosen One! Do you water down what you really want to say online? You soften the bold take, stay in the safe lane, and end up sounding like everyone else. Here's the hard truth: playing it safe is the fastest way to be forgettable. If your people can't feel a real person behind the content, they scroll right past. This episode is for the coaches, speakers, and authors who keep shrinking themselves into a "small box of what's acceptable" and wondering why their brand isn't landing. We're talking about your brand voice: why you're playing small, and how getting bolder actually grows your visibility online, your authority, and your business. Here's the truth most people miss: bold doesn't mean controversial, it means clear and convicted. I'll walk you through 3 steps to say what you actually mean. One, catch yourself softening. Two, find your bold. Three, say it like a relief. Plus why the boldest version of your voice is the one that finally makes the right people feel seen, and ready to buy. I'm also sharing the story of someone I followed for years for her social media tips, who got bold and started speaking from a totally different place, and how that authenticity is exactly what turned me from a follower into a buyer. Grab your notes app. This one gives you permission to stop shrinking. In this episode: * Why playing it safe online makes you forgettable, and what boldness really means (clear and convicted, not controversial for clicks) * How to catch yourself softening: the things in your industry you secretly disagree with or do differently * Who you're really afraid of (peers, judgment, the copycat fear) and why you can't break a cycle you can't see * How dropping the "maybe, kind of, just" makes your audience exhale and feel like they finally found someone who gets them CONNECT WITH ME: 💓 Join our Facebook Community: https://www.facebook.com/share/g/1CGMZJ1rD3/ [https://www.facebook.com/share/g/1CGMZJ1rD3/]
