How do you run a business that helps people log off and live more?
One thing is certain, you canβt be on your phone from am to pm and work insane hours. That makes no sense. You canβt tell people to do one thing and do the exact opposite yourself.
This podcast chronicles my real-time experiment in business and takes you behind the scenes of building a business that promotes chill and logging off on the outside as much as on the inside.
Follow along to find out if I make it without marketing myself on social media, working outside in nature, and with little structure and a lot of room for flow.
After 2 seasons of experimenting with this personal podcast, I've decided to close this chapter. In this episode, I share what I learnt from 2 seasons of getting my feet wet with a solo podcast and why I'm making some changes going forward.

Are you in for a bold idea for your marketing? Cool! Here it is: If social media isn't cutting it for you, why don't you build your own socials platform? Yup! Before you say it's le impossible! It is. From a tech point of view, it's totally possible - and at an accessible cost. But more so: why? People like the functionality of social media, they don't like the present execution. This is a great idea if you want to create more than just community around your product, your brand, yourself, or your service. It's to give your people a totally new way to connect that goes way, way beyond a community platform.
Also: How baller of a move is this? If you don't like what Instagram or Facebook are doing, just build your own themed social network around your brand. Imagine how awesome it is for people in your community to connect this way around a shared interest. It goes way deeper than a community software or subreddit ever could. It harnesses the good part of socials: Getting to show off your own personality, being seen by other people.
And you can keep the trolls out and monetize it gently (if you want to) with a small monthly contribution. Or not. Honestly, I'm waiting to see the first influencer or pop culture figure to do this. Imagine Swiftnet for Swifties. But it also works for smaller brands and followings.
Now, here's a caveat: This is best for somebody who has a sizable(ish) following they want to move onto their own social media platform. You need a critical mass of people who's active enough so that the network is actually interesting.

Ah, the wonderful world of personal development online: Do this! Not that! Use this method, not that one! There are so many recipes - but which ones work? And for you?In this episode, I share why recipes aren't the way to go and what signals to look for to find good people for personal development work. One approach is like teaching people how to make pasta, the other one shows them how to cook. For long-term impact and to grow as a person in a sustainable way, the way that is like learning how to cook is infinitely better. And after this episode you'll know much better how to find which is which and who to choose in which moment of your journey.
I also share how you can navigate the often confusing, sometimes messy world of advice-giving online. There's a lot of content out there right now that tells you how to live life. You don't need to follow each and every one of it. Listen to learn how to find what fits and what to let go.

How do you create content in your business? Is it a chore? Sort of okay? You like doing it but often are lacking inspiration?In this episode, I share a reframe for your content marketing: Instead of seeing it as a necessary evil in getting word out there about your business, what if you saw it as a gift?
Because it is: Content marketing is a strategic element of bringing people to your business. But it's so much more than that. Your content is a point of connection with your audience. It's also often the first thing they see from you. So better make it good.
Listen to learn more how reframing your content as a gift can making content more fun for you and way more impactful for your community.

Hand on your heart: How good are you at listening? REALLY listening?
I always thought I was a decent listener until I trained as a coach. Only then did I understand that I had a lot to learn in that department - and still do. Listening is a disappearing art - especially in a time where we seem to love to shout at each other online.
Truly listening is a beautiful gift you can give to the person who's sharing something with you. Think about it: When is the last time you felt that somebody truly listened to you? When did you make space for somebody else to share what's on their mind?
It's trickier than it seems. Especially, when what they're sharing might feel uncomfortable to us. It's easier to jump in and try and fix things than letting somebody else share what's on their mind and hear it without immediately interrupting them with a fix. But that's exactly where the magic happens. When you give somebody space to open up authentically and feel safe to be vulnerable with you. Becoming a better listener will enrich your relationships so, so much. And it will make you feel more secure in those situations where somebody is sharing stuff that's uncomfy.
Listen in to learn 3 easy things you can do to become a better listener in this episode. I'm spilling my secrets from training as a coach, so it's a good one!

So, you hate marketing yourself on social media! This episode is for you.
We need to talk about this. Despite my gentle nature, I won't sugarcoat things for you in this episode. What we need to talk about is adult human beings who are capable of running businesses who keep telling themselves the same sucky story over and over again. Socials suck. Posting drains me. I don't want to do this but I have to.
You don't have to be on socials if you don't want to. You don't have to create a course if you don't want to. You don't have to do anything in any set way, if it doesn't resonate. You're an adult human being who's running a business. You get to decide how you do things. Not some online guru, not your well-meaning friends who told you "just make a facebook page and they will come", not your neighbor. Whoever it is, it doesn't mean you have to do it.
After all, how is your special magic sauce supposed to shine through, when you despise how you talk about what you do? It makes no sense to expect great outcomes and hate the way you're getting there.
This episode will help you break through the mental barrier of "but how" or "what if I stuff up my business when I leave socials?". Because the no. 1 thing that's in your way to leave the misery of socials isn't which platform you'll go on instead. It's your mind.
So let's address that. Listen for inspiration!

So, do you have to text back to every text you receive? How many unread texts do you have? 10? 54? 135? More? Phew! How does that feel? A bit stressful, right? It's like there's this unspoken pressure of other peoples' expectations in your phone, waiting for you. And you're always behind.
In the podcast episode I discuss, whether you really, really need to answer all texts you're getting. Because let's face it, we're human, we've got lives, things do, etc. We can't always be everything to everyone. It's kiiiiind of inevitable that you'll end up disappointing people. To make this process as smooth as possible, it comes down to managing people's expectations about what they can get from you when.

Have you ever heard that you can only do one thing as an entrepreneur? Focus, niche down, keep at it for several years, and in the end you will reap the rewards? Well...that's one way to go about it.
Doing things like that never resonated with me. I've always been multi-passionate. I have an idea a minute and many of them are good.
Last year, during a session with my executive coach, I lamented to her that there was never enough time and money and energy for all the things I wanted to do. I let out a heavy sigh and told her: "I just wish I had an idea factory." I wanted that to be able to make all the awesome things come alive that live in my head - together with people who are dedicated to and really excited about what they're doing. Win-win-win for everyone.
Only that...I didn't really see a path to that. I had to build my own. To get some sort of idea how to achieve this, I looked not to business but to the arts and creative fields.
It turned out that viewing my work like a director, an artist, or head designer was much closer to what I had in mind than being a "plain" CEO.

What if I told you that I mostly work, when I'm inspired?
It's the no. 1 way I manage to run several brands, create meaningful content, and have a fun life. Bottom line of this episode: There's no point in making yourself suffer for your dream. Forcing things is a sure way to build the Mt. Everest of inner resistance. Instead, intend to surrender to the flow and see what happens.

Talk is not cheap when you're the bottleneck in your businessHow do you manage your communication? Have you ever considered whether your communication structure is scalable? If that's new for you - fab, you'll love this episode.
Ideas discussed in the episode:
Inboxes/email addresses I created for myself = how I split my communication streams
More hacks:
-> essential addresses live on my phone AND laptop, admin-related is on my laptop only because I only check them so often
-> once I hand over a task, I hand over the email account entirely, no forwarding/researching a collection of individual emails in my general inbox = saves you time

Do you want passive income? Sounds like a dream, right? The business does the work, you do the chilling out! Let's look at that. I believe for most people the promise of autonomy over your time, working less, and feeling like you have a reliable source of income and financial security are what draws them to want to build a passive income. But that really only happens when you invest. A passive income business still requires some set-up work and quite a bit of thinking beforehand.
I prefer to call it a low-touch business. Listen to learn what it is and how you can build one.

What does scaling mean to you? Of course, it refers to your business' ability to grow - and grow easily and without your business' structures get in the way. At the same time, you can - and should - think about it in terms of scaling your offering's ability to serve as many people as possible. It's about the impact and the money.

Not all content is created alike! Just because everyone else is on the Gram, who says you have to? I discuss how I create content in a way that plays to my strengths. This is not just about saying bye, Facebook - it's about sharing ideas with your audience in the way that works best for you to bring your message into the world. Because, newsflash, content that you create while hating the process of creating it likely won't charm your audience ;) Being in your sparkly zone of genius will, though.

This episode is about what I wish somebody had told me about business in the beginning. The very beginning. More than anything, business is a radical course in personal development and hardly anyone talks about that. The magic and unique challenge in running a business is that any little thing you're trying to hide from yourself will eventually come to the forefront. And if you don't address them, will blow up in your face.
This is an episode about this secret. And about why I think it's holding us back when we talk about challenges in business within the glossy framework of success stories only. If you're here, you can expect more realness for mutual learning.

Welcome to the show! I'm Johanna a Digital Wellness Consultant and speaker and repeat-founder.
On the show, I'm sharing the behind the scenes process of creating a business in my very own way. I help people build conscious, intentional relationships with the tech in their lives. Everything I share is aimed at helping people lead more calm, healthy lives that are sparkly with well-being and I want to bring the same intention to how I create and build this business. It's all about walking the walk. And I want to. After burning out in business twice, I realized that this time around I needed to find a better way to do things. And that means charting my own path and leaving behind other people's blueprints. Instead, I'm running my own business like the rebel and visionary that I am.
Following along to see how I'm doing it and get inspired to step outside the "how to-s". It's time to step away from the guru-formulas and trust yourself in the process. It's your life.
