So -- crazy story.  I recorded this entire episode while I was in active labor. I didn't even know it yet. I had one day left to record a training for a friend's summit, contractions started, and I just thought "it's fine, it's early labor, I'll pause when I need to." So that's what I did, for over an hour. I edited out a bunch of minute and a half pauses where I was literally breathing through contractions. Sent the file off, and a few hours later my daughter was born in an ambulance on the side of the road, delivered by my husband. Wild story for another day, maybe. But it's honestly the perfect backdrop for what I'm covering in this episode, because if there's ever proof that "waiting for the right season" to build your business is a myth, it's this. That season is never coming. You have to build your business around your actual life, right now, chaos and all. So in this episode I'm walking you through the exact framework I use to run my business with a house full of kids (including my baby daughter, born literally hours after recording this). Not "someday" advice. What I am literally doing right now, days out from a newborn. Here's what you'll walk away with: The 100/50/10 rule I use to figure out what actually needs my brain (and what can happen while I'm wiping butts, literally)Why I ditched weekly live calls in my membership and what I do insteadMy "Emerald City" offer strategy that keeps money coming in even while I'm on maternity leaveWhy I design for my worst week, not my best one, and why that's the only plan that actually holds upThe one question that shifted me from reactive to proactive in my business AND my lifeResources mentioned: CEO Mom Collective membership: yaelbendahan.com/ceomomcollectiveDM "planner" on Instagram @theyaelbendahan for my CEO Mom weekly plannerMy friend Briana's C5 assessment to help you identify the primary place your business is leaking momentumLINKS 📈The CEO MOMS Growth Matrix - feeling stuck or plateaued at your current revenue?

So this episode is a little different. I'm currently very pregnant, less than a week from my due date, sitting in my office telling you the real behind the scenes of how and why I built the CEO Mom Collective the way I did. Not the trendy way. Not the "everyone else is doing it this way" way. The way that actually works for my life right now, with a house full of kids and a business I refuse to let eat me alive. This isn't just a "come join my membership" episode either (though... you should). It's actually a masterclass in how to think about EVERY offer in your business. Because here's the question I want you asking yourself the whole time you listen: am I building this for what's trendy or what my friend is doing, or for what actually works for me and the person on the other end? What You'll Learn: Why I ditched weekly Zoom calls (and what I do instead that works better for busy moms in every time zone)The real reason I chose Slack over a Facebook group, and why voice notes changed how I coach completelyWhat makes a membership actually scalable instead of falling apart the second it growsWhy "just a content library" is the laziest kind of membership and what I built insteadThe difference between the Collective and my Mastermind, and how to know which one is actually for youThe exact question you need to ask about every single offer you're building right nowMentioned in This Episode: CEO Mom Collective (founding rate ending soon, price increases from $97/month to $147/month after July 13th)CEO Mom Mastermind (get on the waitlist here)CTA Mentioned: DM or email Yael the word "loom" on Instagram @theyaelbendahan, tell her where you are in your business and where you want to be by December, and she'll send a personalized Loom walking you through it.

Okay so real talk... things in the online space feel WEIRD right now, right? One minute you're hearing "nothing's working anymore" and the next someone's making a million bucks in 72 minutes flat. (Yap Challengers, unite!) So which is it?? This week I'm pulling back the curtain on a training I ran a couple weeks ago (yep, this is a replay, and yes I'm sharing it publicly because it was just too good to keep locked away). I dug into what's actually working for successful business owners (especially moms!) in 2026, and spoiler: it's not what you think. I'm coming to you from a pretty intense season too. My sister was in a bad car accident days before I recorded this, I'm currently 2 weeks away from having baby #7, and somehow I'm still here showing up. Because that's kind of the whole point of what I teach... building a business that doesn't fall apart when life does. Here's what I'm breaking down for you: The ONE thing successful business owners are doing differently right now (hint: it's not posting more)Why "courses are dead" is a lie people tell themselves, and what's actually replacing generic info productsThe Costco rotisserie chicken strategy for your offer suite (you'll get it when you hear it)A client story where she went from 2 sales to 12 sales just by changing ONE thing about her launchWhy automating your backend too early might be killing your salesMy "minimum viable marketing" rhythm that kept $8K/month coming in during my most chaotic, traumatized, nauseous first trimester everThis one's part strategy, part permission slip to stop hustling like it's 2018.

The Backstreet Boys are everywhere. The Jonas Brothers brought out Jesse McCartney, JoJo, and Demi Lovato on tour. Hilary Duff is back. And grown adults with mortgages and probably some form of joint pain are screaming like it's 2006 in Claire's. Clearly, as a marketer, I couldn't just sit back and enjoy -- I had to figure out why it was working. And what I found is a marketing mechanism that literally changes people's emotional state — and you can use it whether your audience is into boy bands or has never heard of Jesse McCartney in their life. This episode is about nostalgia marketing. Not the surface-level "reference old stuff" version. The actual psychological reason it moves people from skeptical to sold. In this episode: Why nostalgia isn't just a generational trick — it works on every human brain, full stopWhat's actually happening when a Jonas Brothers crowd goes feral (and why it matters for your content)The research on nostalgia and willingness to spend money — it's not subtle5 ways to bring this into your marketing right now, none of which require a Backstreet Boys referenceWhy vague origin stories don't land — and what emotional specificity actually doesThe comeback arc and why you should never quietly reappear after time awayIf your content feels like it's landing flat even when you're showing up consistently, this one's for you.

You don't need perfect conditions to make sales. You just need the right plan. Easier said than done, I know. But hear me out. Six weeks ago I was 27 weeks pregnant and coming off a long season of pulling way back on selling. And I decided it was time to get back into motion — not because everything was calm and perfect, but because I know something about sales that took me years to learn. This episode is that thing. I'm breaking down the three "marketing crops" I use to think about my sales ecosystem — herbs, vegetables, and trees — and sharing the real mindset shifts that got me back into selling momentum after a hard season. This framework works whether you have 10 hours a week or two. Whether it's summer, a holiday, a hard week, or all three at once. If you've been telling yourself you'll sell more when things calm down... this one's for you. In this episode: The 3 types of marketing activities and which one to start with when you need cash NOWWhy motivation doesn't come before action (and what actually does)The value of accountability in sales even if you technically KNOW what to doThe "conviction reset" I do every morning before I start workingWhat my client did on the last day of her launch that got her 10 sales — all from personal conversationsWhy summer is actually the best time to plant (not pause)Resources + Links Mentioned: Summer Sales Intensive: yaelbendahan.com/summersalesMoney Map: yaelbendahan.com/moneymapCEO Mom Diaries FREE Telegram Broadcast: yaelbendahan.com/diariesInstagram: yaelbendahan.com/instaLoved this episode?

Have you ever looked at your business and thought "I need a whole new offer, a whole new funnel, a whole new strategy" — when actually, you just need a smarter entry point? Yeah. Been there. Built a better funnel instead. In this episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on one of my favorite business wins: how a $27 workshop led to over $100K in backend sales — including an $18K VIP client — without a complicated tech setup, without sales calls, and without starting from scratch. I'm walking you through the exact 4-part framework I used to build a low-to-high-ticket funnel from stuff I already had. And trust me, if you're a busy mom running a business in between everything else, this is the kind of strategy that was made for you. In this episode: The $27 workshop that led to a $10K upgrade (and how 10% of buyers converted — without a single sales call)Why your next offer doesn't need to be new — it needs to be strategicThe difference between a "micro" and "macro" entry point (and how to pick the right one for your high ticket offer)How to connect your low-ticket offer to your premium program in a way that feels natural, not pushyThe follow-up strategy that keeps your funnel working long after launch dayIf you're ready to stop leaving money on the table and start building something that sells while you sleep, this episode is for you.

Every May, the panic hits. The kids' school schedule is imploding, your calendar looks like a snack list exploded on it, and suddenly you're realizing... oh. Summer is in like three weeks. And if you're anything like most mom entrepreneurs, your "summer business plan" is basically: vibe and hope. Which — girl, same energy but not a strategy. This episode is the wake-up call you need before you either disappear all summer OR burn yourself out trying to hustle through it. I'm walking you through my 3-part Summer Sales Plan — the exact framework I've used through multiple summers (and yes, three summer maternity leaves) to make money without losing my mind. The truth is, the moms who actually have a calm, profitable summer didn't work harder. They just planned earlier. And the best time to plan is right now. In this episode: The sneaky mindset mistake that makes you think nobody buys in summer (hint: you're projecting your own chaos onto your clients)What a "pre-sell" actually looks like when you're not into big complicated launchesThe nurture journey strategy that keeps your audience warm even when you're running at 40% capacityWhy September feels like rebuilding from scratch — and what to do right now so it doesn'tHow I made money while nursing a newborn (and how you can set that up too)Resources mentioned: Summer Sales Intensive — 4 spots only — DM "SUMMER" to me on Instagram: instagram.com/theyaelbendahanMoney Map - Get my eyes on your business and personalized marketing strategy and offer positioning angles for less than $100 - yaelbendahah.com/moneymapLINKS 📈The CEO MOMS Growth Matrix - feeling stuck or plateaued at your current revenue?

You did everything right. You emailed, you pre-sold, you showed up all week long. Day 6 of your launch: two sales. Sound familiar? Before you blame your offer, rewrite your sales page, or spiral into "maybe nobody actually wants this" — I want to share something that came up on our final CEO Mom Mastermind call that made me feel both extremely validated and also super excited to share with you. One of my clients went from 2 sales to 12 in a single day. And the thing she did differently? It wasn't a new funnel. It wasn't a fancy email sequence. It was so simple it's almost annoying. In this episode I'm breaking down: What she did on the last day that 5x'd her resultsThe real reason people weren't buying (it's not what you think)How to add personal touchpoints to your sales process without living on ZoomWhat separates the people who survive hard seasons from those who don'tWhy the slow burn actually IS the buildIf your launches have felt harder this year, this one's for you.

Okay real talk — slow sales seasons are THE WORST. You're doing the thing, you're showing up, you have a great offer, and yet... crickets. And then your brain starts spiraling into "maybe I need a new niche" or "maybe I should launch something else" or "maybe I'm just not cut out for this." Stop. Just stop right there. I've been in that exact place — a 2K month, pregnant, exhausted, no idea how to turn things around. And what I figured out (the hard way, obviously) is that inconsistent sales almost never come from what you THINK they come from. There's a much shorter list of culprits, and once you know where to look, the fix is so much simpler than the chaos spiral your brain is currently on. In this episode, you'll learn: Why "I've tried everything" usually means you haven't found the specific thing that's broken yetThe two ways to handle a capacity problem (because sometimes it's not a strategy problem at all)What I actually look at first when sales go quiet — and why it's not your offerWhy your messaging might be the leak and what proof-forward content actually looks likeThe sneakiest sales problem that smart, solid business owners overlook constantlyWhat I did during a 2K month that took me to 15K the very next monthHow to build assets that sell FOR you when you're in survival modeHow to diagnose your own sales leak without burning everything downReady to find YOUR specific leak?

Okay, I'm baaaaack! And before we get into it — yes, I know it's been a while. My last episode was February 10th. I came out of first trimester ready to go, launched the CMA Accelerator, and then on March 1st Israel and the US went to war with Iran. Schools shut down. My six kids were home for six weeks straight. We had sirens multiple times a day and multiple times a night, and every single one meant dropping everything, grabbing kids, and running to our safe room. I'm pregnant. I was carrying a baby and a toddler in the dark at 2am more times than I can count. It was a season. And my business felt it. But here's what I had to remind myself — and what I want you to hear if you've had a hard season too: getting out of business shape is not a moral failure. It just means you need to put in the reps again. And knowing what to do is not the same as doing it. In this episode I'm getting into what "day one energy" actually is, why experienced entrepreneurs lose it, and how to get it back without pretending you're starting from scratch. Because you're not. Here's what we cover: What it means to be "out of business shape" and why it happens to even the most experienced entrepreneursThe fitness analogy that completely reframed how I was thinking about thisWhat "day one energy" is and why it's so magnetic — and what kills it over timeWhy sometimes knowing too much is actually what's blocking you (the yips are real)The exact scrappy-but-strategic plan I'm running right now to rebuild before baby number seven arrivesWhy starting again and starting over are completely different thingsResources Mentioned: CEO Mom Diaries (free Telegram broadcast — behind the scenes in real time): https://yaelbendahan.com/diariesEp 19.

You've heard it a million times: "Sell the destination, not the airplane." Don't confuse people with your process—they just want the result. I'm calling BS. Because in 2026, when everyone's using the same AI prompts and sounding exactly alike? Your unique PROCESS is literally the only thing that makes you different. It's your moat. Your AI-proof competitive advantage. In this episode, I'm breaking down why your signature framework matters more than ever—and how it becomes the backbone of everything in your business: your authority, your content, your offers, your scalability, and your ability to stand out. Plus, I'm pulling back the curtain on how I had my first multi-6-figure year the year my business was the SIMPLEST—with one clear offer, one framework, and zero complicated funnels. All while working 10-20 hours a week with babies at home. What You'll Learn: Why "sell the destination, not the airplane" advice is flawed for seasoned CEO momsThe real reason your signature framework is your AI-proof moatHow your framework creates infinite content angles—so you never run out of things to sayHow to turn your framework into multiple strategic offers at different price pointsWhy your process pre-qualifies the right clients and filters out the wrong onesHow to make your business scalable beyond just you showing up for every clientIf you're ready to stop guessing and stop rebuilding your business every month—the CMA Accelerator is for you.

Most business planning assumes consistent capacity, predictable childcare, and steady energy. That's not mom life—and it never will be. I'm currently pregnant with baby #7, dealing with first trimester brain fog, and planning my most strategic year yet. How? I'm not planning for an ideal fantasy world. I'm planning for REALITY—sick kids, holidays, maternity leave, and the capacity shifts that come with motherhood. In this episode, I'm breaking down my exact framework for planning a year that doesn't fall apart when the unexpected happens. This is the foundation—then I'm going WAY deeper at my free 2026 Planning Party (February 2-3). What You'll Learn: Why planning for your ideal life sets you up for failure (and what to do instead)How to map your non-negotiables FIRST before any business goalsMy realistic capacity framework for planning revenue around motherhoodThe three-focus system that creates momentum without drowning youHow to use "momentum marketing" so each offer naturally sells the nextWhat's actually working in 2026 (not what worked three years ago) Join the Free 2026 Planning Party: February 2-3 at 1:30 PM Eastern Day 1: Streamline Your Offer SuiteDay 2: Map Your 2026 Sales CalendarGet $250 gift card just for registeringRegister: yaelbendahan.com/party LINKS 📈The CEO MOMS Growth Matrix - feeling stuck or plateaued at your current revenue?

If you crawled across the December finish line feeling like you just ran a marathon after the holidays—or if your launches and offers have been feeling heavier and conversions are down—we need to talk. The truth is, what worked even a couple years ago isn't working anymore. The market has shifted. Buyers are more cautious, the content treadmill feels exhausting, and honestly? It's okay if you're just feeling kind of...tired. But the thing is...many entrepreneurs are still thriving. And in this episode, I'm breaking down exactly what's different about them—and what I'm updating in my own business to make 2026 feel spacious and service-focused. I'm also sharing a big personal announcement that's driving this entire shift, and why I'm bringing back a program I sunset years ago (while retiring my beloved Mastermind...for now). This isn't about burning everything down. It's about building smarter, more specifically, and more sustainably—especially as CEO moms who need our businesses to actually work with our real lives. What You'll Learn: Why some of the "traditional" strategies aren't working anymore (and what IS working)The #1 thing separating entrepreneurs who are thriving from those who are burning outWhy being a generalist will make you invisible in 2026—and how to get specific without losing yourselfThe exact audit questions I used to simplify my offer suite (and why I'm sunsetting my Mastermind)How to build monthly recurring revenue that doesn't require you to be "on" all the timeMy exciting announcement and what it means for how I'm restructuring everythingResources Mentioned: Take my survey, get a FREE Voxer coaching day and be entered to win a $2,000 coaching package!

Black Friday 2025 was... interesting. Some people crushed it. Others had their quietest year in ages. And if you're somewhere in between trying to figure out what just happened...this episode is for you. I'm breaking down exactly what's selling right now, what people experienced from both sides of Black Friday this year, and why specificity and human connection are the only things cutting through the noise anymore. Because spoiler alert: more AI-generated content is NOT the answer. If you're a mom entrepreneur building a business that doesn't require you 24/7, grab your coffee and let's dive into what actually matters heading into 2026. What You'll Learn: Why Black Friday 2025 had such mixed results—and what that tells us about where the online business world is headedThe specificity secret: How my client Katherine made $11K with less than 300 people on her list (and how you can do the same)The warm-up you can't skip: Why sales happen AFTER trust, and how to use Black Friday as a barometer (not a failure)Human touch is everything: Why people are craving real connection and how to bring more of yourself into your business without burning outWhat to focus on for the rest of December and 2026: The exact shifts you need to make to stand out in an increasingly automated worldKey Takeaways: ✅ Specificity wins every time. Your offer needs to be so clear that someone reads it and goes, "Oh my God, that's for me." Not "that sounds nice"--literally "I NEED this right now." ✅ You can't skip the relationship building. The people who did well on Black Friday had been nurturing their audiences for months. If you didn't pre-warm people, use this as data...not proof you're failing. ✅ People still want people. Don't automate yourself out of your business. AI can support you, but it can't replace your experience, your perspective, and your connection.

What if I told you that you could launch your first leveraged offer, make over $11K, and still show up for your kids' Christmas parties without breaking a sweat? My client Katherine did exactly that—and she did it in December while being fully present for her five kids. No complicated challenge funnels. No showing up on camera every single day. Just a simple, stripped-back launch process that actually works for moms with actual lives. In this episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on the exact three-phase process Katherine used to launch her first course while maintaining her family traditions, making hot dinners most nights, and keeping her sanity intact. If you've been sitting on a course idea, group program, or any kind of leveraged offer but feel too overwhelmed to launch it, this one's for you. What You'll Learn: Why you need a leveraged offer (even if your one-to-one business is doing fantastically well)The three-phase low-key launch process that works for busy momsHow Katherine made over $11K across two launches with less than 220 people on her launch listWhy you should NEVER create your entire program before validating itHow to launch without sacrificing family time or your sanityThe power of email-based launches (no daily lives required!)How to turn your beta launch into an evergreen funnel Resources Mentioned: Built to Scale Workshop (CEO Mom Edition): Join me live on December 8th at 1:30 PM Eastern for the complete breakdown of Catherine's launch strategy, plus my 2026 planning map and scalable offer suite worksheet.
