In this episode, I talk with Lauri Smith, speaker and creator of the Vocal Presence Path, about embracing intuition in business. Lauri shares how joining a marketing program that didn’t sit right led her to rethink her approach and shift her content strategy. Guided by intuition, she launched the Speakers Studio, an intentional offer that aligns with her values and focuses on purpose over traditional metrics.

Lauri’s advice is simple: trust your instincts, build a business that feels true to you, and don’t let outside opinions pull you off track. This episode is a must-listen if you’re ready to bring intuition into your business decisions!

Corporate Habits I Ditched to Build a Life-First Business 10:35

14 days ago10:35

10:35

Send us a text I spent years absorbing corporate “best practices”—how to write emails, how to hold meetings, how to pretend I wasn’t a full human while working. It wasn’t until I started working with creative, values-driven solopreneurs (like you) that I realized: a lot of those norms don’t actually serve us. In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on the corporate habits I’ve consciously unlearned —and how replacing them with more personal, intuitive approaches has helped my business feel more human (and a lot less exhausting). If you’ve ever questioned whether you really need to respond to emails within 30 minutes, or wondered if you’re “unprofessional” for protecting your boundaries, this one’s for you. Topics: Why “quick response = good business” is a trap I no longer fall for How I replaced meeting-heavy schedules with async communication and clear workflows The harm of defaulting to “professional” tone over authentic voice—and what I use instead How rethinking urgency changed my client experience (and my nervous system) Why ditching these norms isn’t lazy—it’s values-led and sustainable What next?

Designing a Better Business with ChatGPT (Without Losing Your Voice or Values) 5:05

5 weeks ago5:05

Send us a text I’m sharing how I’ve been using ChatGPT as a judgment-free, burnout-aware sounding board. Not to write content or automate my business systems, but to help me think clearer and make values-aligned decisions without spiraling into overthinking or dumping thousands on a coach every time I hit a fork in the road. I’ll walk you through how I use it like a meditation app for my business brain: to process decisions about capacity to evaluate offers based on energy, not just income and to support my long-term vision without sacrificing sanity or smutty romantasy breaks. This one’s for the solopreneurs who love a good DIY session but still want it to feel like collaboration. If you're redesigning your services, restructuring your client journey, or trying to decide whether to scale back or double down—this method might help you hold space for big decisions without getting stuck. Mentioned in the episode: Quick Boost Support Pass - A focused 60-minute call to untangle one tricky piece of how you work with clients. Before, during, or after the project. Your pick. We’ll dig into what’s going wrong, and you’ll walk away with a clear plan to fix it—plus any tools, templates, or resources I think will help. (No fluff. No tech soup.) What next?

Send us a text Welcome back to Here's What I Learned ! We’re kicking off Season 8 with a solo episode (because apparently, I like talking to myself). It’s been two years since I started this podcast, and I’m reflecting on the lessons I’ve learned over three years of running my business. This episode is part storytelling, part real talk, and part “what would 2021 Jacki say if she knew what was coming?” Spoiler: She’d probably be both terrified and relieved. From unexpected pivots to figuring out how not to have a toxic relationship with your business, this episode is packed with lessons I wish I’d known sooner. What’s inside this episode? The winding path from VA to systems strategist—why niching down wasn’t the answer for me The myth of stability in retainers (and why you should always be selling) Why celebrating small wins actually makes a difference (and how I tricked myself into doing it) Business besties: the secret weapon for staying sane as a solopreneur Permission to diversify your income (because one offer does not have to be your entire identity) If you’re in the thick of building your business and wondering if you’re doing it “right,” this episode is for you. Spoiler: There is no right way—just your way. Hit play, and then tell me: What’s one lesson you’d tell your past self on day one of your business?
