918: Your Perfectionism Is Costing You Money (Here's the Escape Plan)

10/1/2025
Your perfectionism isn't protecting your reputation… It's protecting your ego. And it's costing you real money, real impact, and real progress toward the life you want to build. After building my business over the last decade, I've learned this hard truth: perfectionism is selfish. Every minute you spend polishing something that could already be helping someone is a minute you're withholding value from your audience. Every hour spent perfecting is an hour not spent learning from real market feedback. Every delayed launch is revenue walking straight out the door. If you have a Google Doc full of business ideas, a camera roll packed with content you'll "post later," and a heart full of dreams you're not quite ready to share, this one's for you.

916: How to End the Year Without Burning Out: The Reset Plan Every Entrepreneur Needs

9/24/2025
If you're feeling the pressure to squeeze every last drop out of the year even though you're already running on fumes, this episode is for you. I'm going to show you how to finish the year aligned, not burned out, and why your best move right now might be to slow down on purpose! This episode is not about making you do more. It's about guiding you to choose better and to start thinking of this season as a bridge, not a cliff. Together, we’ll identify what's actually working in your business right now, the quiet wins you're probably overlooking, and we'll release the stuff that's stealing your energy without giving much back. Then, I'll show you exactly how I shift my routines and habits now, before January, so I'm not showing up to the new year with a blank page and burnout baggage. Finally, we'll talk about why saying no to 10 good ideas in favor of one bold aligned move might be the most strategic thing you do all year. This is about getting realigned with what you actually want from your life and your work. It's about redefining what "finishing strong" means, and it might not look anything like what Instagram is telling you it should. So if you're ready to finish the year on purpose with clarity, with boundaries, and with momentum that actually lasts, click play!

915: Why Your “Too Small” Idea Might Be the Exact Thing People Pay For

9/22/2025
Think your business is “too niche” to succeed online? In this coaching session, I’m chatting with Jennifer about how to sell a highly specific online course to a small-but-mighty audience… and how to attract the right people to grow a business that feels deeply aligned! Jennifer Gulizia is a flower farmer and garden educator who turned her passion for dahlias into a beautiful educational business. She’s also a Digital Course Academy student, and she’s looking to refine her offer, grow her community, and get clarity on how to market something that’s niche, time-sensitive, and doesn’t quite fit the traditional “signature course” mold. If you’ve ever worried your topic is too specific or too seasonal to succeed, this coaching session is for you. And listen, if Jennifer’s story has you thinking, “Wait… maybe I could do this too…” then I want to personally invite you to check out Digital Course Academy: the very program that helped me launch my first course and change my entire business (and life!). Enrollment is open right now, but only for a few more days, so don’t wait! Head to jennakutcher.com/dca to save your seat and get my exclusive bonus suite designed to help you actually implement what Amy teaches! Now click play and let’s dive in to help Jennifer get her course out into the world, and maybe spark some inspiration for your own!

914: The 5 Business Mistakes I Learned the Hard Way (So You Don’t Have To)

9/17/2025
When I think about those first few years as an entrepreneur, I see a woman who was so full of fire and determination, but honestly had no idea what she was walking into. And I love her for that! Now, after years of growth, evolution, and yes, plenty of beautiful failures, I can see the patterns so clearly. The places where a little more strategy could've saved her months of spinning her wheels, where better boundaries could've prevented that inevitable crash, where more courage to be seen could've accelerated everything. This episode originally aired a while back, but I'm bringing it back because these lessons feel so relevant right now. Because here's what I've learned: we don't get to skip steps. Every fumble, every pivot, every moment of not having a clue was preparing us for what's next. And if sharing these lessons can help you honor your own journey while maybe sidestepping a few of the more painful detours? That feels like the most beautiful full-circle moment. So whether you're in your own 'figuring it out' era or you're revisiting this with fresh eyes, let's dive in with so much love for the versions of ourselves who were brave enough to begin!

913: When Science Meets Spirituality: How to Trust Your Gut and Grow Into Who You’re Meant To Be

9/15/2025
Have you ever considered that angel numbers, gut feelings, and “random” synchronicities weren’t just coincidences… but clues? In this episode, I’m joined by Dr. Tara Swart to talk about the brain science behind intuition, the senses we never talk about, and the forgotten wisdom that could reconnect you with your full potential. Dr. Tara Swart is a neuroscientist with a PhD, a former Oxford-trained medical doctor, a Senior Advisor at MIT Sloan, Chief Science Officer at Dirtea, and the best-selling author of The Source, which has been translated into 38 languages. She’s advised high-level leaders across the globe, and this isn’t her first time on The Goal Digger Podcast! Check out her interview from 2021 all about the neuroscience of manifestation! Whether you call it your gut, your inner knowing, or something greater, this conversation will give you a new lens on how to make decisions, overcome blocks, and open yourself to what’s possible. So if you’ve ever wondered whether those “signs” you’ve been noticing are just coincidences or if they’re trying to tell you something, you’re in the right place!

8/25/2025
Have you ever wondered why it feels harder to build a business as a woman? It’s not just you, and Anna Gifty has the stats to prove it. This conversation will explain exactly why… and what we can do about it. Anna is a Harvard-trained economist and the author of The Double Tax, a bold new book that breaks down the invisible costs women—especially women of color—pay just to participate in society. But what makes this conversation essential for entrepreneurs? Anna shows how these “taxes” sneak into your business, your brand, your pricing, your funding, your time, and what you can do to push back. From the cost of motherhood to beauty standards in the workplace to why generational wealth-building still feels out of reach, this episode is a masterclass in economic empowerment. And it’s not just theory; Anna gives us the tools to change things. If you’re building a business and wondering why it still feels this hard or you want to be part of rewriting the rules, this conversation is your permission slip and your playbook.

905: Make Your Website Work Harder Than You: The Simple Strategy to Save Hours and Sell More

8/18/2025
Your website isn’t a “nice to have”, it’s one of your most powerful business tools. In this conversation with Jen Olmstead, we reveal how to turn your site into an investment that pays you back: attracting the right people, making you money, and finally feeling like you. Jen Olmstead is a brand and web designer, a visual storyteller, and a certified type nerd who’s made it her mission to create online spaces people actually want to explore. She’s also the co-founder of TONIC SITE SHOP: home of the most stunning, cocktail-inspired website templates for modern, stylish creatives. What I love about Jen’s work is how it combines aesthetics and strategy in a way that helps you build a website that actually works, meaning that it attracts the right people, tells your story clearly, and converts visitors into paying clients or customers. And it does all of that while you live your life, step away from your screen, and finally stop feeling like you have to be “on” all the time! So whether you’ve been duct-taping your site together or you don’t have one at all yet, this episode is for you. If you’re ready to give your website a major glow-up after this convo, you can shop TONIC templates at http://www.jennakutcher.com/tonic and use the code JENNASENTME to get 15% off any template.

901: 5 Expert-Backed Mindset Shifts That Will Change the Way You Work, Rest, and Dream

8/4/2025
We talk a lot about what to DO to grow–-what to post, what to sell, what strategy to follow—but the truth is, none of that matters if your mindset isn’t in the right place. The biggest transformations usually don’t start with a checklist. They start with a belief, a shift, or a single moment where you realize: “Oh… maybe it doesn’t have to be this way.” This episode is filled with those moments. I’ve pulled together 5 of the most powerful mindset shifts ever shared on the Goal Digger Podcast, straight from some of our most impactful guests. These are the beliefs and inner scripts that changed everything for them, and they just might change everything for you, too. If you’re starting something new, stuck in self-doubt, or just need a reminder that your brain can be your biggest asset (not your biggest roadblock!), click play!

900: How One Tiny Survey Helped Me Rebuild My Business with More Clarity and Alignment

7/30/2025
I haven’t run a full-blown audience survey since 2020. Since then, so much has changed for me, for you, and for how we do business! And honestly? I wasn’t sure we needed to do one. But Marisa, my right-hand and co-strategist, had a different perspective, and I’m so glad I listened. In this episode, we’re pulling back the curtain on how we created a survey that wasn’t just about collecting data. It was about reconnection, reorientation, and rebuilding from a place of listening. And yes, we used AI to help… but only after WE set the vision. So if you’re feeling disconnected from your audience or unsure what to build next, I hope this gives you a few new tools and a little clarity. You can still take the survey at http://www.jennakutcher.com/survey (and yes, there’s a $500 gift card involved as a thank-you!). Head to http://www.jennakutcher.com/survey to share your thoughts on what kind of support would actually move the needle for YOUR business!

7/28/2025
What if the reason you feel tired all the time, struggle with weight changes, or feel disconnected from your libido or energy isn’t “just getting older”? What if the real issue is that your body’s been whispering to you for years… and no one’s been listening? My guest today, Katy Whalen, is flipping the script on women’s health. She’s the founder and CEO of Joi+Blokes, a telehealth brand helping people take control of their hormones, longevity, and overall wellness.

We’re breaking down the myths around hormone health, talk about the three markers every woman should know by heart, and explore what it really means to take a proactive, not reactive, approach to your health.
