#174: Message Ignored? The real reason you’re not building a following Welcome back to another powerful episode of the Rock Your Purpose Podcast. Today we're diving deep into a topic that's absolutely crucial for every purpose-driven leader out there. First off, can we just take a moment to acknowledge how incredible this journey has been? We're at Episode 174, and I am overflowing with gratitude for each and every one of you. Your support, your love - it's what keeps this movement alive and thriving. Now, let's get right into the heart of today's discussion: "Message Ignored? The Real Reason You’re Not Building a Following." Get ready, because we're about to uncover some game-changing insights. The Frustration of Being Unheard Alright, let's get real. You've got a message that's not just important, it's vital. You’ve poured your heart and soul into your work, but somehow, it feels like your words are vanishing into thin air. Maybe you’ve even found yourself spending endless hours on social media, trying to gather followers and enroll them in your offerings, only to see minimal results. Believe me, you’re not alone. A Personal Journey of Finding My Voice I vividly remember a time when I felt like I was shouting into the void. I had this burning message, a purpose that was my North Star, but it seemed like no one was listening. It felt like I was spinning my wheels on social media, trying to get noticed. It's frustrating, disheartening, and it can make you question if you’re on the right path. You Are Seen, You Are Heard But here's the truth, my friend: you are not invisible, and your message is not falling on deaf ears. There’s a missing link, a piece of the puzzle that, once discovered, will change everything. The Key Ingredient: Visibility So, what’s this missing ingredient? It’s something called visibility. It's not about spending hours upon hours on social media, trying to amass followers who might not even be your ideal audience. It’s not about shouting from the rooftops or being everywhere at once. It's about strategic, intentional visibility. The Power of Finding Your People Let's start with finding your people. It's not about amassing a large following, but about connecting with the right individuals who resonate with your message. These are the ones who will become your most devoted supporters and champions. Choosing Your Platform: Podcasting, YouTube, and Pinterest The best platforms for creating consistent, evergreen visibility are podcasting, YouTube, and Pinterest marketing. These are all SEO-driven platforms that people turn to when they have a problem or want to learn more about something. The idea is that your content offers insight into the solution. The Truth About Social Media Platforms Creating a content universe that drives actual traffic to your site, not just likes on an app, is key. The truth is that these apps are not designed to have you move off the platform. Pivoting for Success So, what might not be working for you in building your movement? We’ll explore actionable steps to pivot: Choose an SEO-driven hub for your content universe. Create weekly content (at a minimum) to drive traffic and build authority. Get your voice out there – guest write for content magazines in your niche, reach out for podcast interviews (with you as the interviewee), collaborate with others in your niche. Communicate consistently with your community via email marketing. No, email is not dead but alive and kicking! Before we wrap up today's episode, I want to leave you with this: Your message matters. Your voice is needed. And together, we're going to make sure it's heard. Thank you for being a part of this incredible community. Remember, you are seen, you are heard, and you are making a difference.

#170: What I Learned On My Mini Sabbatical To Europe 06/27/2023

#170: What I Learned On My Mini Sabbatical To Europe Last month, I took a mini-sabbatical to Europe with my eighteen-year-old daughter. As we made our way from Paris to Florence, Venice, Croatia and Switzerland, I saw how much of a step back from coaching and running my business I had truly needed. But another truth became clear, too: I had, since 2020, distanced myself from much of this work that brings me so much joy because I knew it had to change... I just didn't know HOW it had to change. 2020 changed me – it clarified my values, sharpened my discernment. Created urgency. And what I learned this month is that sometimes you really do have to step back to LEAN IN. What's become clear is this, too: If we are really doing the work and growing, at some point our lives are going to ask us to reinvent ourselves and our identities, our work and our relationships. And this place of reinvention? Well, that's where the magic happens. That's where we discover that we are LIMITLESS. So this time away I had, this sabbatical, was in many ways a recommitment to this work. To you. To your success. Your journey. This time away only fueled my fire for sharing how our dreams and passion can be the pathway to creating the life we dream of – not the one we feel stuck with. I have so much to share, and I will share more soon... But until then, I wanted to let you know about something I am working on for you that will support you in making your own comeback and creating the reinvention that your heart is asking for – while building self-confidence and self-trust along the way. It’s called . LIMITLESS is a six-week coaching reinvention workshop with me and a community of like-minded souls that are called to reach for more in their lives: Now, what MORE looks like is different for every one of us– For some, reaching for more is doing less and scaling back, so that LIFE takes the front seat… For others, more might look like taking on a new project, finally launching that business, or focusing on creating something that makes their heart sing. No matter where you find yourself in your life, this is for you if you are looking to uncover the confidence to get there – and create the goals and roadmap to take you far. This is for you if you are ready to move forward toward something new, something brighter, something more you – even if you aren’t sure of what that thing is (we’ll help you get there!). We’ll be meeting for an hour a week for six weeks, and connecting through a private telegram channel as I guide you step-by-step through the program I have developed for the new book I am writing. =) You’ll get 1:1 support in this small group coaching workshop, in addition to a workbook and a roadmap toward your goals. – and we begin August 1. I really hope you can join us. xo /episode/index/show/essenceofyoga/id/27285048
