  • 240 - Why we’re ending WAIM Unlimited (part 1)

    27/03/2025 Duration: 52min

    After six incredible years, we’ve decided to retire our flagship program, WAIM Unlimited (after one FINAL upcoming launch). In this episode, we’re walking you through exactly why we’re making this sizable change. Retiring WAIM Unlimited didn’t come from burnout or panic… but from clarity, alignment, and a desire to move into our next chapter with intention. We’ve been business coaches for 72 months and we’re excited to take things in a new direction!Here’s what we cover in this ep:What a final enrollment will look like (May/June 2025)The real (and nuanced) reasons we’re making this shift—from changing buyer behavior to our own creative evolutionWhat this means for current WAIM members (spoiler: NOT MUCH!)What the next 12 months will look like for us, including our final launch and plans for parental leaveA glimpse at what we’re pivoting toward in 2026—and why we’re genuinely excited to build from the ground up againThis episode is for anyone who’s questioning a long-standing offer or wondering if it’s time to

  • 239 - Spring 2025 Launch Recap (lower sales, big lessons, and future shifts)

    20/03/2025 Duration: 58min

    Our latest WAIM Unlimited launch was smaller than expected, but instead of panicking, we’re using it as a chance to adapt, experiment, and pivot. In this launch recap episode, we’re breaking down:The details of our Spring 2025 launch (amidst first trimester, new 6-month option, and our very minimal marketing effort)Why we think sales were lower this time (hello, economic uncertainty, changing buyer behavior, and declining web traffic)What we’re doing differently moving forward (getting back on social, refining our offers, and leaning into AI tools for creators)Our plans for WAIM Unlimited, Calm Launch Formula, and where we see our business evolving for the rest of 2025If you’ve ever had a launch that didn’t go as planned, we hope this episode reminds you that business is an ever-changing game—and that reinvention is part of the process. Listen in for our takeaways and what’s next for us!

  • 237 - 4 steps to make your next launch feel CALM

    06/03/2025 Duration: 44min

    This episode goes out to anyone who has felt stressed during a launch! We want to help change that for you and we have 4 steps that ensure your launches are calm, profitable, and feel effortless.THE biggest mistake we see folks making when doing live launches is not enough planning and prep time (our own customer survey data showed 75% of people plan a launch in 4 weeks or less). Not giving yourself enough time leads to overwhelm, a lack of pre-marketing, and what we call a “floppy launch” (read: not many sales).We touch on four things in this episode that every launch needs to feel calmer while also driving more sales! We hope you walk away from this episode giving your next launch more lead-up time AND when your launch starts you are having that (stress-free!) twiddling-your-thumbs moment.

Learn more at https://wanderingaimfully.com/join ⏳ ***If you can’t tell, we are pretty bullish on no-code tools right now and we’re excited to share this episode talking about how we built an accountability app/game for our membership community!We walk through why we think creating tools is an alternate marketing path instead of creating content for social media. While everyone is focusing on Reels, TikTok, etc, you could be making tools without the need of a developer OR any design skills at all. The tool we’ve been using is called Lovable and you don’t need to know anything about databases, code, Github, etc. You just need to be able to type in a chat prompt (like GPT).Let us be clear, no-code does NOT mean no effort. Building anything takes patience, time, and a willingness to learn new things and fight through the ups and downs. But, we are so excited with w

Learn more at https://wanderingaimfully.com/join ⏳ ***With all the hullabaloo around the TikTok ban, it’s got us thinking about the topic of diversifying your marketing versus focusing. Is it smart to put all your eggs in ONE marketing basket? How can you create safeguards for your business? We’ve been huge advocates of email list building for 10+ years and while social networks come and go, our email inboxes are still the most valuable channel in our minds. Whether it’s TikTok, IG, YouTube, etc, we believe it’s never been more important to grow an email list that gives you some control over your audience. Have a listen to this more casual conversation around the topic of marketing and what we’d do at all stages of your business journey (starting from scratch, some experience, or many years under your belt). ***
