Fear shows up in your business every single day, usually dressed up as overthinking, procrastinating, or the pitch you keep rolling over to next week. In this episode, I walk you through the exact seven step process I use with my clients to move through any fear, including the breathwork and inner child work that gets underneath it. You'll also hear a real client story so you can see how it plays out in a session.

✦ The hidden bottleneck that could be keeping your business stuck

✦ The reason most entrepreneurs skip inner work, and how to catch yourself doing it

✦ The question to ask when fear keeps getting in the way of your next move

✦ How to find the one root fear sitting underneath all your surface level fears

✦ What your current business fears might reveal about your younger self

✦ The safety blanket effect: how to understand what fear is protecting you from, so you can effectively move through it

✦ The exercise I use to challenge the thoughts keeping you stuck

✦ An unexpected way to interrupt a fear spiral—and have a little fun doing it

✦ What we uncovered beneath one client’s overthinking, and how she moved through it in a single session

Save this one and come back to it the next time a fear shows up. If you want to do this work with me live, with breathwork journeys and a group of people doing it alongside you, I teach it in phase one of Convicted, my group program. Click here for more info!

I've rebuilt my business from zero to five figure months three separate times, and every single time it came down to the exact same thing. In this episode I'm walking you through those rebuilds, the mistakes that kept me stuck in between them, and the identity work that got me back every time, plus a first look at the four phases inside my new program, Convicted.

✦ The moment I said "fuck that, game on" and went from zero to 10K in 30 days (and how I did it!)

✦ Why I felt paralyzed in my business for the first time ever after coming back from maternity leave, and how I finally got my fire back

✦ The exact question I ask myself before every launch, and the mistake most people make when they do this exercise

✦ The biggest mistake most business programs make (and why I believe some people get results, while others don’t)

✦ The four phases I'm teaching inside Convicted: expand your identity, remove your bottlenecks, convictify your messaging, sell like a sorceress

✦ Journal prompts to find the stories you're telling yourself that are keeping you small, where you're watering down your work, and what's really underneath your resistance to selling

If any of this hit home, Convicted starts at the end of October. You can grab the full program walkthrough at noravirginia.com/convicted.

I recently came off a 40 day challenge of posting every single day, weekends included, and I'm breaking down every single lesson I walked away with. Inside, I'm getting into the real difference between content that goes viral and content that actually gets you paid, why fully deciding without hesitation removes almost all the mental chaos of doing hard things, and the exact moment I realized I don't actually want to keep posting every day forever.

What's Included:

✦ The ‘decision energy’ shift that removed almost all my resistance to showing up every single day (even on weekends, which I rarely work!)

✦ Why "just put in the reps" isn't a cop out, and what it actually unlocked for my content

✦ The real difference between content that goes viral and content that gets you paid, and why I've been ignoring one of them for years

✦ What happened to my follower count once I started posting top of funnel content, and why the unfollows don't bother me anymore

✦ Why getting torn apart in the comments of a reel was the single best thing that happened to me, and the nervous system shift that changed everything

✦ How I was subconsciously avoiding visibility (especially when it came to people resharing my content)

✦ Why I'm not continuing to post every single day after this, and the quality vs quantity balance I landed on instead

I loved doing this challenge more than I expected to, and I think you'll walk away from this one with a lot to think about for your own content. Tune in now and let me know which lesson hit you the hardest!

I'm trying something new this week: taking my monthly Off the Record newsletter and turning it into a podcast episode instead. Inside, I'm breaking down the mindset shift behind Savage September and Convicted, giving you the real update on my hobby era, and sharing a client story that proves your timeline is *not* behind schedule.

What's Included:

• The Alex Hormozi quote I repeat to clients (& myself) constantly, and why collapsing the gap between idea and action is the fastest way to grow your business
• How I built and launched something in under 24 hours (and what happened when I stopped overthinking the timing)
• What fixing the sound quality in my office unexpectedly unlocked in my business
• My current hobby era experiment: paddleboarding, tennis lessons, and accidentally signing up for a two hour HYROX simulation
• Inside Convicted: the brand new Identity First Method framework I'm building and why you cannot skip straight to messaging and sales
• The message from a past client that proves a "small" launch can turn into twelve months of client retention and five figures in revenue
• My new content batching process and the two week time audit that showed me exactly where my hours were disappearing

I'll be back next month with Off the Record. If you loved this format over the usual newsletter style, always let me know.

I just left a mastermind call where 90% of the room admitted the same thing: they're the block in their own business. Not lead gen, not conversion, not strategy. Them. Today, I'm breaking down the seven behaviors I see separating the people who make success look easy from the people who are white knuckling it, and none of them are about simply doing more.

In this episode, we cover:

✦ How to shift your inner dialogue in the moment, before it talks you out of the thing you know you need to do

✦ The biggest difference between a calm CEO and a chaotic one, and how you price your offers reveals the answer

✦ How to know if you actually need to rest, or if you're just avoiding the thing that's uncomfortable

✦ My actual answer when someone tried to scare me about AI killing my business, and why discomfort tolerance is the most underrated skill in entrepreneurship

✦ Why bringing your personality into your brand is becoming a bigger differentiator than your actual offer, especially now

If you've been doing all the "right" things and still feel like you're white knuckling your way through your business, this one's for you. Save it, come back to it when you need the reminder, and DM me which behavior hit hardest, I read every single one and appreciate them more than you know!
