A lot of solopreneur marketing challenges become easier with a story -- and with knowing the clients' backstory.
In this episode, we're tackling a challenge many solopreneur service providers face: how to sell when your offer seems "non-essential" or even frivolous.
From personal shopping to manicures, pantry organizing to lighting setups — these services are often dismissed as luxuries. But as the backstories reveal, the real value often lies beneath the surface.
You will learn ...
... many non-essential services can be critical when you understand why people buy
... how to uncover the emotional backstories that drive buying decisions
... how to position your offer as a solution to deep, often unspoken needs.
You'll hear real-world examples of frivolous products that become "must haves" when you learn why they're purchased.
If you're a coach, consultant, or creative struggling to articulate your value, this episode will show you how to connect with your audience where it matters most — at the story behind the need.
Please leave a review at Apple and/or Spotify. That's how we grow!

I also have a short blog post, summarizing the key points, if you'd like to read instead of listen.

Betrayal Season 5
Saskia Inwood woke up one morning, knowing her life would never be the same. The night before, she learned the unimaginable – that the husband she knew in the light of day was a different person after dark. This season unpacks Saskia’s discovery of her husband’s secret life and her fight to bring him to justice. Along the way, we expose a crime that is just coming to light. This is also a story about the myth of the “perfect victim:” who gets believed, who gets doubted, and why. We follow Saskia as she works to reclaim her body, her voice, and her life.
