#16: The Corporate Client Playbook Every Event Creative Needs with Carolina Gomez from Balloon Element

If you've been waiting for corporate clients to magically find you, this episode is the wake-up call. This week on Pop Up to Powerhouse, Jamie sits down with Carolina, founder of Balloon Element and Grow My Balloon Biz, for a masterclass in landing corporate clients from someone who did it fast going from a laid-off corporate employee to hitting six figures in her first full year of business by targeting corporate exclusively. Whether you're a balloon artist, event designer, florist, planner, or any creative service provider, the systems Carolina shares in this conversation are the exact frameworks she uses to sign five-figure jobs on repeat and teach other business owners to do the same.Inside this episode, you'll learn:<ul><li>The podcast moment that made Carolina decide, in one day, to only work with corporate clients</li><li>The door-to-door school visit that turned into her first $1,500 contract (and gave her the belief she needed)</li><li>Why corporate clients aren't price sensitive — and what they actually care about instead</li><li>The simple 6-line intro email template Carolina used to build her whole business (she reads it verbatim in the episode)</li><li>The Flodesk follow-up system that booked her an $8K job after eight months of no replies</li><li>The $4K referral she got from a client who never once replied to an email</li><li>Why "simple scales" is the mantra that keeps her business growing</li><li>The mindset shift around COIs, insurance, and "professional" fears that keep new artists stuck</li><li>How to use LinkedIn and ChatGPT to build a corporate leads list in under an hour</li><li>The "your money needs to know where it's going" reframe applied to rush fees and pricing</li><li>Why competition doesn't exist (and why two vendors can book the same event)</li><li>The $12K fireworks reframe every underpriced creative needs to hear</li><li>Rapid-fire myth or fact: portfolios, followers, negotiation, referrals, and more</li></ul>Jamie also shares her own recent story of finally charging a rush fee (with her team member calling her out for not walking her own talk), and the two founders unpack why even seasoned business owners still wrestle with pricing anxiety.If you've been playing small with your reach, waiting for the algorithm to hand you clients, or telling yourself the market is "too saturated" — this episode is your permission slip to start emailing, following up, and charging what your work is actually worth.

#15: Why Career Women Can't Out-Hustle Their Health (With Desiree Burgess Alford, West Coast Wellness)

If you've ever wondered why you're working harder than ever in the gym, tracking every calorie, running yourself into the ground and somehow feeling worse, not better this episode is a wake-up call. This week on Pop-Up to Powerhouse, Jamie sits down with Desiree Burgess Alford, founder of West Coast Wellness and Harts & Pearls, for an honest conversation about pivoting from your first business into your second, the health rules that actually change the game for women over 35, and why the gym is the one place where effort in doesn't equal effort out. Desiree is 16.5 years sober, built her first business at 18 months of sobriety, and quietly launched her second business with no website and no social media for a full year and a half and her story of following what her body was telling her, even when she couldn't fully explain it, will hit hard for anyone in the middle of their own transition. Inside this episode, you'll hear:<ul><li>Desiree's pivot from Harts & Pearls to West Coast Wellness (and why she launched quietly for 1.5 years)</li><li>The sister comment that fired her up to build a business as a single mom</li><li>Why she hired a business coach for a full year before landing on her second business</li><li>How Jamie lost 20 pounds without a single structured workout in the first weeks of the program</li><li>The "no matter what" moment that made Jamie realize she was choosing a life of mediocrity</li><li>The sneaky weight blockers most women don't track: oil, bread, and processed carbs</li><li>Why your resting calorie rate matters more than the 2,000-calorie myth</li><li>The 3-workout, 20-minute-per-session formula that changed Desiree's body after over-training failed her</li><li>The new research: why you should stop doing a fourth set</li><li>Desiree's hormone reveal building visible muscle while her testosterone was extremely low</li><li>Jamie's story of thinking it was business burnout when her hormones were actually running the show</li><li>Why "just walking" or "just HIIT" isn't enough after 40 and what to do instead</li><li>The alcohol truth nobody wants to hear in a fat loss phase</li><li>Rapid-fire myth-or-fact round: carbs, protein, walking, weights, and age</li></ul> If you've felt like you're doing everything "right" and still not seeing results in your body, your energy, or your business, this conversation will change what you focus on. Because you can't out hustle your health. Not at 35, not at 45, and definitely not while trying to run a company.

#14: Part 5: The "Magic" That Paid Off $100K (And Why It Wasn't Magic At All)

This is the episode you've been waiting for. If you've been following the pivot series on Pop Up to Powerhouse, you already know the story — the debt, the burnout, the tears, the moment I almost quit. But in this finale, I'm walking you through exactly how I paid off $100,000 in debt in one year, blew past my Q4 stretch goal of $90,000 to hit $120,000, and closed the hardest chapter of my business with a debt-free bank account on December 30th. And here's the wild part: there was no viral moment, no big campaign, no salesperson I hired. It was systems, tiny consistent actions, and one specific mindset shift that changed how I ran my entire business. Inside this episode, you'll learn:<ul><li>The reactive vs. proactive marketing loop that keeps most small businesses stuck</li><li>How I built the systems (automated emails, content pillars, social media calendar) that kept me consistent when I got busy again — including the exact spreadsheet template linked below</li><li>Why I stopped waiting for inquiries and started reaching out to past clients myself</li><li>The "behavioral activation" psychology principle that reframed how I take action</li><li>Two tiny, unglamorous actions that led to two of the biggest clients of the year (a cold email to the Seattle Kraken and a passive comment that turned into my dream install at the Fairmont Olympic Hotel)</li><li>How the "badass list" pulled me out of my worst mental spirals</li><li>The Mel Robbins quote about self-trust that changed how I speak about my goals</li><li>Why I read my future story out loud on air (and why you should write your own)</li><li>The financial framework that helped me actually pay off the debt: getting lean, setting quarterly goals, and giving my money a job</li><li>The Kaylin Faulkner quote — "your money needs to know where it's going" — that finally clicked</li><li>The mindset shift that turned $90K into $120K</li><li>What manifestation actually is when you strip the woo-woo away</li></ul> If you've been sitting in a season that feels stuck, if you've been waiting to feel motivated before you take action, or if you've been telling yourself the same "someday" story for way too long — this episode is your permission to start behaving your way out, not thinking your way out.You don't need a 47-step morning routine. You need one piece of evidence today that you haven't given up on yourself.Thank you for showing up for this series. And next week, we're bringing on Desiree from West Coast Wellness to talk about how prioritizing your health and strength directly impacts your business, energy, and mental clarity.
