You can be incredibly busy in your business and still avoid selling. In this episode of the Good Girl Rebellion Podcast, Anna is joined by sales expert and business growth strategist Anna Payne to explore why so many business owners end up doing everything around the sale while avoiding the actual ask. Together they discuss the difference between marketing and selling, why “I don’t want to be salesy” can sometimes mean “I don’t want to hear no”, and how overgiving, undercharging and avoiding follow-up can all become part of the pattern. Anna also shares her practical “Sales First” approach and explains how making sales activity more regular can take some of the emotional charge out of it. If you’ve ever told yourself that people know where you are if they want to buy, this conversation will help you think differently about what selling really involves. It’s time.

Why does talking about your work feel so uncomfortable, even when you know you’re good at what you do? In this episode of the Good Girl Rebellion Podcast, Anna is joined by copywriter and messaging strategist Abi Sea to explore why visibility can feel tangled up with arrogance, showing off and the fear of what other people might think. Together they discuss good girl conditioning, why being liked can feel safer than being seen, and how to talk about your work without turning yourself into someone you don’t want to be. Abi also shares practical ways to make visibility feel easier, including her Hollywood Sign exercise, finding your bare-minimum visibility and focusing on the people who actually need to hear from you. If you’ve ever edited yourself into oblivion before pressing publish, this conversation is for you. It’s time.

What happens when you realise that you are the safety net holding your entire business together? In this episode of the Good Girl Rebellion Podcast, Anna is joined by employee benefits specialist Emma Cowling to explore what we leave behind when we move from employment into self-employment. Together they discuss why women often invest in business growth before protection, the hidden value of pensions and employee benefits, the curse of the competent woman and why doing everything yourself can eventually hold your business back. They also explore how to plan responsibly without trying to eliminate uncertainty, and what it might look like to create your own self-employed safety net. If you’ve built a business that depends on you continuing to cope, this conversation will help you think differently about what sustainable success really means. It’s time.

More content isn’t always the answer. In this episode of the Good Girl Rebellion Podcast, Anna is joined by Marti, founder of Wee Bit Social, to explore how small business owners can build visibility, trust and community without posting constantly or trying to be everywhere.

If marketing has begun to feel like another full-time job you did not apply for, this conversation is for you. It’s time.

Knowing what to do isn't the same as doing it. In this episode of the Good Girl Rebellion podcast, Anna is joined by coach, clinical hypnotherapist and former solicitor Annabella Zeiddar to explore why so many capable women stay stuck despite knowing exactly what needs to change.
