The Built From the Ground Up Show

About The Built From the Ground Up Show

The Reigning Queen Podcast is for the women who are sick of chasing clients, tired of inconsistent revenue and are ready to finally step into the kind of power that makes money, opportunities and respect flow to them. It's for the women who want to figure things out so they don’t ever have to go to work for someone else again, for the Women who crave influence not for ego but to change industries, families and leave legacies. A Reigning Queen knows her worth and doesn't chase, beg or apologize. She commands respect, closes clients with confidence and builds a business that gives her freedom and influence so she’s never throwing spaghetti at the wall hoping something sticks. Her clients say yes with ease—because they’re all in. No chasing in the DMs. No endless back and forth. That means her energy is fully focused on the impact she’s here to create, not wasted on trying to “figure out sales.” She’s the woman who picks up the spa tab on girls’ weekends. She demands the best from everyone around her. She’s admired. Influential. Unapologetic. She moves with grace and takes sh*t from no one. This podcast is about celebrating her—and inviting others in to join this Reign Revolution; a movement of women who refuse to play small in business and life. Welcome to the Reign Revolution, Girlfriend.

   34: The Power of Taking a Pause: Why I'm Stepping Back to Move Forward

   Season finales are often about looking back but sometimes they're also about discovering who you've become along the way. While this may be the last episode of the Reigning Queen for this season, Gwen will be returning in the fall! It’s time to take a peek behind the curtain and learn more about what’s been going on with Gwen both personally and professionally, and why she has decided to step back from the microphone for the summer. Today, Gwen reflects on the biggest lessons from this year and the unexpected growth that happened both in business and in life. From navigating major personal shifts and redefining success to releasing expectations, trusting herself, and stepping into her worth on a deeper level, Gwen shares the behind-the-scenes journey that transformed the way she leads, sells, and shows up in the world. If you've been questioning your next move, navigating change, or learning to trust yourself more deeply, this conversation is a reminder that growth often happens in the detours, not the destination.

   33: The Secret to More Sales This Summer | Part 3: How to Stop Reacting and Start Leading in Sales Conversations

   Summer is quickly approaching and so is the “Summer Sales Slump”, but NOT for you because today on the podcast, Gwen is sharing her LIVE coaching from her Summer Sales Bootcamp last year! For the next few weeks, we are airing a special Summer Sales Coaching Series to help you combat the slow season that summer brings to business owners. In this third week of training, Gwen is unpacking the word that so many women in business resist: control. But what if taking control of your sales conversations wasn’t manipulative at all? What if it was actually the key to building trust, protecting your energy, and confidently guiding potential clients toward real transformation? Gwen dives into why so many female entrepreneurs struggle to lead sales conversations and how people-pleasing, overexplaining, and reacting instead of directing can quietly cost you clients. She breaks down what it really means to create a sales process that feels authentic, aligned, and empowering — not pushy. From handling pricing objections and redirecting conversations to asking better discovery questions and creating stronger boundaries, this episode is packed with mindset shifts and practical strategies to help you confidently lead your calls instead of feeling like you’re being interrogated on them. You’ll also hear real-life examples, simple scripts you can start using immediately, and honest conversations around why strong sales systems actually create more safety, clarity, and confidence for both you and your clients. If you’re tired of wasting time on “maybe” leads, giving away free coaching on calls, or walking away from conversations feeling emotionally drained, this episode will help you reclaim your power, trust your expertise, and step into sales conversations like the leader you already are.

   32: The Secret to More Sales This Summer | Part 2: Structuring High-Converting Discovery Calls

   Summer is quickly approaching and so is the “Summer Sales Slump”, but NOT for you because today on the podcast, Gwen is sharing her LIVE coaching from her Summer Sales Bootcamp last year! For the next few weeks, we are airing a special Summer Sales Coaching Series to help you combat the slow season that summer brings to business owners. In this second week of training, Gwen breaks down why discovery calls are one of the most powerful and most overlooked parts of the sales process. If you’ve ever felt awkward leading sales conversations, worried about sounding “too salesy,” or struggled to confidently guide potential clients toward a decision, this episode will completely shift your perspective. Gwen shares the psychology behind effective discovery calls, the importance of asking deeper “why” questions, and how creating structure in your sales conversations actually builds trust instead of pressure. Through real-life client examples and practical strategies, she explains how to uncover the true motivations behind a prospect’s goals, position yourself as a trusted partner instead of just another service provider, and confidently guide clients toward next steps without feeling pushy. You’ll also learn the difference between a “wing it” sales call versus a confident, structured conversation, why emotional connection matters more than surface-level solutions, and how asking thoughtful questions can help clients gain clarity they didn’t even realize they needed. This episode is packed with actionable sales coaching for female entrepreneurs who want to close more aligned clients, reduce ghosting, and create sales conversations rooted in confidence, integrity, and genuine connection.
