Today, I have a special episode in store! This is an interview I did with Becky Hoschek on her podcast about plans, pivots, and really trusting God in motherhood and business. Although we talk about motherhood and business stuff a lot, we talk about plenty of other things as well if that’s not applicable to you. We covered things like: And honestly - so much more. As you tune in, this episode originally aired at the end of 2023 so I shared about having only one child and being pregnant at the time. It was also before I had my course Podcast Success Blueprint which is why it’s not mentioned in the episode. If you love this episode, stay tuned. Becky will be back on the podcast in a few short weeks where I'm interviewing her!

I’m so excited to share Ethan’s birth story with you! I’m a new mom again (and we are officially a family of four). Baby number two, Ethan Daniel McCravy, is absolutely so wonderful and amazing and it’s been fun doing this all again (but with more experience than my first go around). If you listened to Colin's birth episode (episode 148), you know that my birth did not go according to plan but God still showed up in so many ways. Ethan’s birth also did not go according to plan, and in fact, I ended up having an unplanned c-section, which I share all about on this podcast episode. I really believe it’s so important to share stories like these because we often only hear birth stories that are glamourized: the “quick births”, the “unmedicated births” and “the ones that went according to plan”. The truth is that despite parts of the birth being disappointing, I still love my birth and I believe so much of it was really beautiful. Plus, at the end of it all, I ended up with a perfect and special baby boy! God showed up in Ethan’s birth in so many amazing ways. Thank you for holding space and caring enough to listen to this story! If you’re a fellow c-section mama and want some encouragement, you’ll find it in this episode! And, if a c-section really scares you and feels “worst case scenario” as you think about your own labor and delivery, then I hope this episode encourages you to see c-sections in a different light.

Today, I’m doing something NEW on the podcast. I don’t think I’ve ever shared an interview from another person’s podcast with you, but this episode from Mara Kucirek’s podcast (Create a Better Course) was so good that I knew I wanted to share it with you today. If you want to see the nitty-gritty behind the scenes of launching an online course, this is one episode you do not want to miss. If you haven’t yet, make sure to also listen to episode 261 where I interviewed Mara about all the things “online courses”, from creating them to selling them well. This interview was especially fun because Mara is a STUDENT of Booked Out Designer (and Podcast Success Blueprint which wasn’t done at the time of this recording). She asked really good questions because NOT ONLY is she brilliant and so strategic when it comes to online courses, but she also has that insider student perspective. Here’s just a glimpse of what we talked about: I've also just shared a lot of behind-the-scenes on how (and why) I’ve made some of the decisions that have led me to make multi-six figures off of my online course (and enrolled 200+ students without running ads).

I've been producing The Breakthrough Brand podcast for over 5 years now, and let me tell you, it's become one of my absolute favorite parts of my business! Funny enough, I was re-listening to an old podcast episode to prepare myself for a speaking engagement earlier this week (at the time of recording), and I literally talked about how much JOY podcasting was bringing me 20 episodes in. Now 260 episodes later? That’s STILL true for me. If you're even remotely considering starting a podcast this year, I cannot recommend it enough! But something that often hangs people up when starting a podcast is: what do I really need? What equipment should I buy? Then you hear about things like audio equalizers, mixers, audio interfaces, headphone amplifiers, acoustic treatments, and cables, and it becomes harder and harder to figure out what you need. But here’s the truth: I do not use fancy equipment! So if you want someone to just TELL YOU what to use (instead of sharing all about the 1,000+ options there are out there), then this is the episode for you!

Hey moms, this episode is for you. It can be a lot to be juggling work, motherhood, no matter how many kids you have, how old they are, what type of work you do, how much childcare you have or don't have, it doesn't matter. I often have moments now as a mom (which I've been a mom for about two and a half years now) where I'm genuinely like, “what was I doing before being a mom? Why did I feel so busy?” Because things are so much busier now. In this episode, I'm going to share with you seven thoughts, or seven affirmations for working moms (whatever you prefer to think of them as!). My hope is that these are thoughts that you can tell yourself throughout your day, throughout all the moments of motherhood and work and that they will encourage you and be a good mindset shift from what you might naturally be thinking during those busy moments. Enjoy!

Whether you're in the early days and months of your business, or you've been at it a while, we all unfortunately do things that make business harder than it has to be. These are things that both new and established business owners all do, and today, we are adding them to your “To Quit” list, because they're taking up your time, energy, and ultimately making growth slower. Today, I’m sharing 14 things as a business owner that are making your business harder that you may not even realize you're doing. The week this episode airs, I am celebrating eight years of running my business. These are some of the MANY things that I have had to consciously quit in those eight years (and some honestly that I still struggle with quitting even today!). So anyway, this is going to be a great (and FUN!) episode!

This is PART TWO of last week's episode, with 4 more ways to be bolder in your faith as a Christian business owner! If you feel like your faith is a secret because you don’t know if it’s ok to share it as a business owner, you’re worried you’ll alienate clients/customers who disagree with you, or maybe you feel God calling you to share but you’re like “what does that practically look like when I’m a photographer? Or a designer? Or a copywriter? Or bookkeeper?” Don’t worry - that’s what we are talking about today. If you missed last week’s episode, go back and listen because they go together! I shared four ways to bring your faith into your business there, and I am sharing four MORE ways today (that are completely different from last week).

Today’s episode is inspired by a question I got over and over again in my audience survey last year because a lot of you guys are like me. You are a personal brand business or other type of business but you are not a ministry, and what you do may have literally nothing to do with your faith on paper, but you ARE a Christian business owner and your faith is an important part of who you are and how you show up in the world. It also informs the decisions you make in your business, both the big ones and the small ones. But maybe you feel like your faith is a secret because you don't know if it's okay to share it as a business owner and you're worried you'll alienate clients or customers who disagree with you. OR - maybe you're feeling like God is calling you to share about your faith, but you're not sure what that looks like when you’re a photographer or a designer (for example!). So in this episode, I'm sharing four ways to bring your faith in Christ into your everyday work life as a business owner. And stay tuned - we are also doing a part two of this next week where I'm sharing four more ways. Let’s get into it!

What makes a great website? What makes a dud? Besides all the obvious things like don’t make your text too small, don’t use 1,000 fonts at once, and things like that… What are the major keys?! No matter what you do in your work, if you have a website, you should be asking yourself these questions. Today I’m sharing 3 things that I consider TOP things to making a great website, and people often miss them. I’m calling these “strong opinions”, but this could also be called “unpopular opinions” because these aren’t said enough. I hope this short and sweet episode gives you some business and website ideas to run with!

I posted a reel on Instagram all about a week in the life with my schedule in the last year and a half as a working mom who owns a business but works part-time from home. Today, I want to expand on what I explain in that very short 90-second clip to tell you more of the nitty-gritty details about what my week is like running my business, taking care of my son, recording this being very pregnant, and how my team and my husband fit into this. We have had three days of childcare since November of 2022 and that’s been working well for us. Before that, we had no childcare at all. I know I’ve been asked questions about it so today I want to talk about my work week, what it looks like running a multiple six-figure-year business on part-time hours while I work from home without full-time childcare. And we're also going to talk about that “40 hour work week” and some mindset stuff around that. In this episode, we are covering: I want this episode to show you what has been possible for me and what I believe is possible for you too! Stay tuned for more BTS episodes coming soon!

Have you ever wondered if you could run your business without Instagram? Thinking about a social media detox? How much time would you get back? How would it affect things like your revenue, your website traffic, and your overall visibility as a business owner? What other marketing tools would you use instead of social media? As someone who uses Instagram a lot in my marketing, I'm like the rest of us in that I have desired to throw in the towel from time to time, especially after moments like creating a reel that takes an hour to make and then feeling like it did nothing at all for your business. Raise your hand if you've ever been there. So whether you want to try no Instagram for a few months, no Instagram in your business permanently, or even if you're just like, “Hey, I want to be on this app less and not rely on it so much for my marketing”, this episode is for you. I'm chatting with the wonderful Shannon Skidmore who I just absolutely adore and she opens up a TON about exactly what it looked like for her to be off Instagram since 2017 (while still running a business with a podcast, courses, consulting, and all the things). Shanna really has it figured out when it comes to what it looks like to REALLY break up with Instagram. And if you don't know Shanna, she's a former Fortune 100 financial advisor, turned business consultant educator and international speaker with clients and students in more than 26 countries. I can’t wait for you to hear her on the podcast today!

Today, I’m sharing three ADVANCED podcasting strategies - one for show growth, one for boosting efficiency, and one for making money for your podcast. Sounds pretty good right? Honestly, it was SO hard to narrow it down to just one tip from each category because I really do have SO many that I share inside Podcast Success Blueprint (which the doors are officially open to, if you’re reading this in real time, until February 2nd!). If podcasting is one of your goals for 2024, or you already have a show that you want ADVANCED strategies for growing your show (and seeing real results from it), this is the episode (and course!) for you. The truth is that this course became far more advanced and extensive than I had originally planned. I don't hold back when I'm teaching. Podcast Success Blueprint ended up becoming a true “A to Z” of starting, running, and scaling a successful podcast. It is a nine module course with over 75 total lessons in it. It’s definitely not your average podcast course. If today’s episode is inspiring you to really take your podcast seriously this year and leverage it to grow your business, I’d love to see you inside!

Even on mainly solo podcasts like mine, guest interviews are so important, not only for your show growth, but also just for giving your audience someone else's perspective. Not to mention - it gives you a break from being the brains behind all the content in your business. Podcast guest interviews are also a fun and exciting way to meet other people, network, make strong connections, and potentially even make lifelong friendships through people you meet. On top of all that, podcast interviews can also help your audience grow exponentially on your podcast. When your guest shares about your episode, you're getting your podcast and your business in front of that guest audience. These 3 easy hacks will help you make guest episodes work harder for your business, so that you see more results on your podcast. If one of your 2024 goals is to start or grow your podcast show, I want to say this is stuff (AND SO MUCH MORE) is what I actually teach in my course Podcast Success Blueprint. And GREAT NEWS - it is opening next week. Podcast Success Blueprint will be open to the public or you to join starting on Monday, January 29th. We cover EVERYTHING inside (from starting your show to creating a maximized marketing web that sells your products or services on repeat).Make sure to hop on the waitlist now at https://elizabethmccravy.com/psb Links Mentioned: https://elizabethmccravy.com/251https://elizabethmccravy.com/psbhttps://instagram.com/elizabethmccravyhttps://elizabethmccravy.com/booked-out-designerhttps://elizabethmccravy.com/showit-website-templates/Breakthrough Brand All Access Facebook Grouphttps://elizabethmccravy.com/facebook Want to start a podcast but not sure where to start?

In this episode, I am sharing THREE of my favorite scriptures lately that I think are really encouraging as we start new as business owners this year. Whether you’re still setting goals or are just feeling called to be more attuned to God as you make decisions in your business, I hope these verses will be encouraging to you (in January when this airs, and for the rest of the year).

Today, I’m sharing ALL about team vision meetings. I rarely hear people talking about this, but personally I've found it be incredibly impactful in my own business. So, naturally, I wanted to share it with you all! What I mean by team vision meetings is a gathering to kick off the year, close a year, start a new quarter, or even halfway through the year. It's where you lay out the exact direction we're heading in as a team! In these meetings, we: In my opinion, team vision meetings are not just for large companies (where these types of meetings are more common). it's also great for us business owners who have small teams, whether they are all contractors or partly remote.

Before diving into the goals for the coming year, I always like to take a moment to reflect on the previous year. It's time to evaluate what worked, what didn't, and relive the best memories. In this episode, I want to take you along on this journey, sharing TWO very practical business lessons I learned in 2023 and tips for taking what I learned to help you grow your business in the new year. On top of that, I'll be sharing two specific things I'll be focusing on in 2024. 2023 was such an incredible year for me (I released new templates, launched my podcast course, celebrated getting pregnant, and so much more!).
