Katie Sevenants: Why Your Business Needs Your Face
Episode Summary
You can have the best product or service in the world—but if people don’t know you exist, your business can’t grow. In this episode, Jennie Bellinger sits down with strategic visibility coach Katie Sevenants to discuss why visibility is one of the most powerful growth strategies for entrepreneurs. From overcoming the fear of being on camera to building trust through authentic video content, Katie shares practical strategies that help business owners become the recognizable face of their brand and attract more of the right clients.
Three Topics Discussed
- Why visibility is essential for business growth and authority.
- Common mistakes entrepreneurs make on social media and how to fix them.
- Using video to build trust, credibility, and stronger client relationships.
Three Key Takeaways from Katie Sevenants
- People can’t buy from you if they don’t know you exist. Consistent visibility creates opportunities, trust, and business growth.
- Clarity about who you serve and the message you want to share is more important than having perfect equipment or production quality.
- Authentic video content builds relationships faster than almost any other form of marketing because people buy from people—not logos.

Michaela Gaffen-Stone: Become the Version of You Ready to Receive Success
Episode Summary
What if the problem you’re trying to solve isn’t actually the real problem? In this thought-provoking episode, Jennie Bellinger welcomes behavior expert, master nutrition coach, Human Design strategist, and self-proclaimed “professional life untangler” Michaela Gaffen-Stone. Together they explore how unconscious stories, limiting beliefs, and inherited patterns quietly shape our decisions, relationships, business success, and personal fulfillment. Michaela shares how understanding yourself more deeply—through Human Design, behavioral patterns, and powerful self-reflection—can help you stop chasing someone else’s version of success and start living in true alignment.
Three Topics Discussed
- Why many people focus on symptoms instead of addressing the true root cause of their challenges.
- How childhood beliefs and unconscious stories continue to influence our success as adults.
- Using Human Design as a tool for greater self-awareness, confidence, and aligned decision-making
Three Key Takeaways from Michaela Gaffen-Stone
- The challenge you think you’re facing is often just the symptom. Lasting transformation happens when you uncover and address the real root cause.
- Success doesn’t come from following someone else’s blueprint. It comes from discovering and trusting your own unique path.
- One of the most powerful questions you can ask yourself is, “What else is possible?” That single question opens the door to entirely new opportunities and perspectives.

Amy Nunn: How to Save Your Business $250k
Episode Summary
Great businesses aren’t built by having all the answers—they’re built by leaders who ask better questions, coach their people well, and create cultures where teams can thrive. In this episode, Jennie Bellinger sits down with leadership strategist Amy Nunn to explore how poor communication, misaligned systems, and ineffective leadership quietly drain organizations of time, money, and talent. Discover how coaching, emotional intelligence, and the right leadership approach can strengthen your team, reduce costly turnover, and help your business grow from the inside out.
Three Topics Discussed
- Recognizing the leadership bottlenecks and organizational misalignment that slow business growth.
- Why coaching employees creates stronger teams than simply managing or reprimanding them.
