  Defeating Sally the Self-Saboteur with Elaine Turso

  Aug 10, 202623 minS1

  Elaine Turso built her business on giving other businesses a makeover — brand, website, and CRM, all pulled into alignment for next-level growth. But before any of that works, you have to actually be visible, and Elaine says the thing standing in the way is rarely strategy. It's self-sabotage. In this episode, she introduces us to "Sally" (yes, her self-sabotage has a name and a very specific parking spot), breaks down how one piece of content can fuel weeks of platform-specific posts without ever feeling repetitive, and shares why chasing likes is a trap most of us fall into anyway. About Elaine Turso Elaine Turso gives your business a makeover, focused on brand, website & CRM, all aligned for next-level growth. She's a Business Makeover Specialist and CRM Collaboration Partner. Key Takeaways Self-sabotage is often the real reason people avoid visibility — Elaine names hers "Sally" and has a physical trick (mentally putting her in the trunk of the car) for not letting her drive. One piece of content — a video or blog post — can become the foundation for weeks or months of platform-specific posts, because each platform has a different purpose and deserves different framing. Use AI as an assistant, not a replacement: feed it a transcript for ideas, then rewrite everything in your own voice. Give any new visibility effort a "good college try" — six months minimum — and take a snapshot of your starting numbers so you have something real to measure against. Stop chasing vanity metrics. Comments and shares matter more than likes, because engaging with people who comment pushes your content back out to more people. Every piece of content needs an intention and a clear call to action — posting without one means you won't get a return on it. ✔️ Connect With Elaine Turso Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/elaine.turso LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/elaineturso/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/elaineturso/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@elaineturso Free gift — The One with the Follow-Up Strategy (video + worksheet): https://www.elaineturso.com/follow-up ✔️ Connect With Host Andrea Stenberg Website: https://www.thebabyboomerentrepreneur.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/andreastenberg/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/andreastenberg/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/andreastenberg?sub_confirmation=1 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TheBabyBoomerEntrepreneur Free Courage to Be Visible class: https://my.thebabyboomerentrepreneur.com/courage-to-be-visible-training Love the show?

  Are you accidentally pitch-slapping your LinkedIn connections? with Mary Wu

  Jul 29, 202627 minS1

  If you've ever sent a connection request and gotten silence back — or been on the receiving end of a sales pitch three seconds after someone accepted your invite — this episode is for you. Andrea sits down with LinkedIn speaker and strategy trainer Mary Wu to talk about what actually works on LinkedIn in 2026: how to DM without being icky, why getting personal on LinkedIn (yes, even about your wedding anniversary) can be your highest-performing content, and how to become the person everyone thinks of when they need an introduction. Mary also shares her rules for video on LinkedIn and why "giving away the farm" might be the smartest business move you make this year. About Mary Wu Mary Wu is a LinkedIn speaker and strategy trainer. She thinks in lyrics, curates connections, and plays with plushies. Key Takeaways Don't "pitch slap" — never pitch someone in your first or second DM. Start by getting curious about them instead. LinkedIn rewards personal content in small doses — one well-placed post (like a wedding anniversary or a grandkid announcement) can outperform everything else you post all year, as long as it's not the only thing you talk about. The DMs are underused. When someone comments on your post, that's your invitation to take the conversation deeper. Before reaching out to someone, check their activity — if they haven't posted or commented in months, they're unlikely to respond. Post 3x a week, and don't skip weekends — informal, relaxed posts on Saturday/Sunday can outperform weekday content. Give more than you pitch (aim for roughly 80/20). The people who give the most tend to get the most back — referrals, credibility, and eventually, clients. ✔️ Connect With Mary Wu Website: www.marywuva.com LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/maryawu Instagram: instagram.com/mary_wu_maven Free Monthly Workshops: marywuva.com/work-with-mary/workshops ✔️ Connect With Host Andrea Stenberg Website: thebabyboomerentrepreneur.com LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/andreastenberg Instagram: instagram.com/andreastenberg YouTube: youtube.com/andreastenberg Facebook: facebook.com/TheBabyBoomerEntrepreneur Free gift: Story Videos Love the show?

  Why Visibility Feels So Hard (And How to Stop Sabotaging Yourself)

  Jul 13, 202625 minS1

  In this episode of Courage to Be Visible, I'm joined by Giorgia G, a mindset coach and self-sabotage expert who helps high-achievers stop overworking, overthinking, and overpleasing their way out of the success they're capable of. We trace visibility struggles all the way back to childhood conditioning — the quiet messages so many of us absorbed about not standing out — and dig into the two self-sabotage patterns Giorgia sees most often in entrepreneurs: control and people-pleasing. We also talk about the difference between fear, worry, and misalignment, and why celebrating your wins might be the missing piece in finally feeling the progress you're actually making. If you've ever known exactly what to do but still found yourself freezing the moment the camera turns on, this conversation will help you understand why — and what to do about it. About Giorgia G Giorgia G is a mindset coach specialising in self-sabotage, a multi-passionate entrepreneur, and host of the Unleash Your Freedom podcast. After building a six-figure business, she burned out and watched it all come crashing down. While recovering, she began studying the science of self-sabotage and trained with some of the world's top transformational coaches. She now empowers high-achievers to get out of their own way, so they can stop overworking, overthinking, and overpleasing — and build success without sacrificing themselves or their relationships. 🔑 Key Takeaways Visibility struggles often trace back to childhood conditioning to fit in and not stand out Self-sabotage shows up most often as control (doing it all yourself) or people-pleasing Not every block is fear — learning to tell fear, worry, and misalignment apart changes how you move through it Your brain won't register progress unless you stop to celebrate it You don't have to build your business alone — community and mentorship speed everything up ✔️ Connect With Giorgia G LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/giorgia-guazzarotti/ Website: https://www.thetreasureswithin.net Book a free Strategy Call — identify your sabotaging pattern and create a plan to overcome it: https://tidycal.com/giorgia1/success-without-sabotage ✔️ Connect With Host Andrea Stenberg Website: https://www.thebabyboomerentrepreneur.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/andreastenberg/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/andreastenberg/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/andreastenberg?sub_confirmation=1 Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/TheBabyBoomerEntrepreneur Grab a copy of Turn Your Everyday Stories Into Videos That Make People Say "That's Me": https://my.thebabyboomerentrepreneur.com/story-videos 💖💖 Love the show?
