  • Visibility is Vanity (Without Sales Strategy): Why Showing Up Isn’t Enough

    Visibility is Vanity (Without Sales Strategy): Why Showing Up Isn’t Enough
    May 30 2025
    You’ve got the spotlight, Queen—but are you turning heads and closing deals? In this high-voltage episode, Kimberly Spencer uncovers the seductive trap of visibility without conversion—and why it’s the business equivalent of ghosting after a first date. Whether you're a newly certified coach, bestselling author, or a podcast-hopping powerhouse, chances are you’ve been told, “Just get visible!” But babe, visibility alone is a vanity metric unless it's paired with a bold, intentional sales strategy. Kimberly dives into how visibility opportunities—like guesting on podcasts or showing up on social media—only convert when aligned with real relationships and sales confidence. You'll learn how to avoid the one-night-stand approach to podcast guesting and start courting your audience like a Queen on a mission. From the art of follow-up to confidently making paid offers, this episode is a mic-drop masterclass in strategy, storytelling, and stepping into your worth. If you’re ready to stop chasing clout and start cashing in, this one’s your royal wake-up call. 👑 📚Grab the “Top Books of 2024 to Change Your Life,” the bestseller, multi-gold-medal award-winner, “Make Every Podcast Want You” by Kimberly Spencer.

What You’ll Learn in this Episode: The Visibility Trap—Exposed You’ll uncover the sneaky lie many entrepreneurs fall for: that more visibility automatically means more sales. Kimberly breaks down why this mindset leads to burnout, not bank. Why Broadcasting ≠ Converting Posting, podcasting, and showing up isn’t enough if you’re not starting conversations. Learn why broadcasting your brilliance to the masses isn’t as powerful as building intentional, one-on-one connections. How to Turn Mic Moments into Money You’ll get a behind-the-scenes look at how Kimberly helps clients use podcast guesting as a strategic sales tool, not just a PR stunt. From pre-interview prep to post-interview follow-up—this is visibility with ROI. The Follow-Up Fix If you’re ghosting your leads after the spotlight fades, you’re missing the magic. This episode shows how following up turns visibility into relationships—and those into referrals and revenue. Why You Need “Put a Ring on It” Energy Kimberly breaks down the Queen Energy it takes to confidently ask for the sale. Because if you’re not offering your services, you’re just performing for applause—not income. Confidence + Competence = Conversion You’ll understand why sales confidence starts with clarity, and how storytelling and sales strategy must dance together to grow your business. Quotes: "You can have all the visibility in the world—but without strategy, it means nothing for your bottom line." ~ Kimberly Spencer "Visibility without intention is just broadcasting. It’s not conversation. And conversation is what creates conversions." ~ Kimberly Spencer "If you’re not following up, you’re treating visibility like a one-night stand—and your dream clients want commitment." ~ Kimberly Spencer Moments of Note: 01:10 – Introduction to the Visibility Trap Why being seen isn’t the same as getting paid—and how so many entrepreneurs get stuck here. 03:49 – The Power of Conversations Over Broadcasting How real connection, not just content blasting, turns visibility into conversion. 05:18 – Aligning Visibility with a Sales Strategy The key mindset shift: Visibility is a tool—not the whole strategy. 05:30 – The Importance of Follow-Up Why ghosting after your mic-drop moment leaves money (and relationships) on the table. 07:29 – Making the Ask and Owning Your Value Visibility won’t help if you’re not making offers. This is where clarity meets confidence. 10:42 – Confidence and Competence in Selling How to build Queen-level conviction in your voice, your offers, and your ability to sell. 12:21 – Final Thoughts and Call to Action Your visibility is valuable—but it only becomes powerful when paired with intention and strategy.

  • From Silent Scribbles to Spotlight: How Leah Vidal Carrosquilla Lit Up the Sky for Teenage Boys

    From Silent Scribbles to Spotlight: How Leah Vidal Carrosquilla Lit Up the Sky for Teenage Boys
    May 20 2025
    What if the story you were afraid to speak… was the one someone desperately needed to hear? In this raw, radiant, and revealing first-ever podcast interview, I sit down with writer and first-time speaker Leah Vidal Carrosquilla (aka Little Miss Wordy), author of Light Up the Sky—a 365-day devotional crafted for young male athletes craving strength, faith, and self-worth in a world full of noise. But Queen, this episode is so much more than a chat about publishing a book. It’s a behind-the-scenes breakdown of what it means to transform personal grief into global impact. Leah takes us on an intimate journey from coffee chats with her late mom to hearing God’s nudge to "write the dang thing" for her son—when nothing else on the shelves spoke his language. You’ll hear how one teacher’s words nearly crushed her writing dreams—and how her own storytelling superpower resurrected them. We explore identity, healing, and what happens when you stop hiding behind the page and start owning your voice (even in a Mad Hatter costume, yep!). If you’ve ever doubted your right to be heard, THIS is your sign to speak your truth—out loud. 🎧 Press play and let this episode be the permission slip your soul’s been waiting for. 😎Get booked on the TOP 5% of podcasts that can build your brand awareness and your bottom line.

Listen to the episode on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google Podcasts, Amazon Music, or your other favorite podcast listening platform. You can also watch the episode on Youtube. What You’ll Learn in this Episode: 🎯 1. When the Resource Doesn't Exist, You Create It Leah couldn't find a devotional designed specifically for teenage boys who are athletes—so she wrote one. 📝 Her son’s offhanded comment ("This is cool, Mom") sparked a realization: boys need spiritual guidance too, but it must be designed for how they think and feel. Takeaway: Sometimes, the solution you're searching for is the one you're meant to build. 💔 2. Grief Can Be the Gateway to Purpose Leah started writing again after losing both her mother and brother. The absence of their morning coffee chats became an ache that eventually transformed into a devotion practice with God—and that daily habit opened the floodgates of healing and creativity. Takeaway: Heartbreak often births the most honest, impactful stories—when we let ourselves write through it. 📚 3. A Single Comment Can Silence… or Ignite A high school English teacher told Leah she wasn't “cut out to be a writer.” That one sentence silenced her voice for years. But eventually, through blogging and journaling, she reclaimed it—and published a book. Takeaway: Be mindful of what you believe about yourself. Even outdated judgments can shape your future—until you rewrite the script. 🎙️ 4. You Don't Have to Be a “Speaker” to Be Heard Leah identified as a writer, not a speaker. But this podcast became her first public speaking platform—and she nailed it by showing up with her authentic voice and storyteller’s heart. Takeaway: You don’t need to be polished. You just need to be present. Your story will do the heavy lifting. 🧠 5. Specificity is What Makes Storytelling Transformational Kimberly praised Leah’s natural ability to speak in vivid, scenic detail. From Halloween parties to Mad Hatter costumes, her stories placed the listener right in the moment. Takeaway: Great storytelling isn't about adding drama. It’s about specificity—painting the picture so others can see themselves inside it. 🛠️ 6. Purpose Evolves—Let It What started as a personal gift for her son and his teammates became a published devotional. The initial vision changed, and the timing wasn’t “perfect”—but it unfolded better than she ever planned. Takeaway: Trust that divine detours are part of the strategy. 👑 7. Moms Don’t Just Birth Babies—They Birth Movements Leah’s identity as a mother became a superpower in her work. Her nurturing nature, her wisdom, her protection—all flowed into her writing. Takeaway: Your life roles are part of your ...

What You’ll Learn in this Episode: 1. Rebranding Can Be a Creative Distraction Many entrepreneurs are drawn to rebrands because they feel exciting and new.However, they often serve as a distraction from deeper, more difficult decisions like raising prices, launching a new offer, or refining messaging.Rebrands can sometimes be a form of self-sabotage, especially when you're already gaining momentum. 2. Structure Isn’t a Box—It’s a Framework Branding isn’t about boxing you in; it’s about giving structure to your identity and story.This structure creates cohesion in how you present yourself visually and narratively.You can still evolve and expand your brand over time, without needing to start from scratch. 3. Ask the Right Questions Before You Rebrand Kimberly suggests three powerful reflection points: Are you rebranding to attract new clients or simply to express yourself creatively?Will the new brand alienate your current, paying audience?Do you have clarity on the audience you're pivoting toward? 4. A Messaging Refresh Might Be All You Need Sometimes the brand doesn’t need a total overhaul—just a refinement in storytelling or positioning.Your offer might not be a full pivot, but rather an extension of what you already do. 5. Beware of “Shiny Object Syndrome” Entrepreneurs often jump to something new the moment something starts working.This “goalpost moving” leads to abandoning systems and audiences that are already working well.The episode encourages staying focused and building on existing success before making drastic changes. 6. Your Story Is the Core of Your Brand Ultimately, your transformation and message are what make your brand powerful.A rebrand should enhance—not mask—your story.Share authentically and boldly, because your story has the power to impact and even save lives.
