Welcome back, babes, to the Scale Your Sales Podcast! Today’s episode is a heart-opening and empowering conversation with Chelsea Bruggemann, a professional development coach and founder of Momentum—a leadership community for working moms. Chelsea brings the real talk on what it means to be a mother in the workforce today and how we can finally start supporting women with the tools, training, and community they actually need. Whether you’re a corporate exec juggling daycare pickups or a mompreneur building an empire from your kitchen table, this episode dives deep into how motherhood and leadership intersect—and how companies can do better. If you’ve ever felt like you're doing it all and still not feeling seen, this one is for you. Topics Covered: Why “all moms are working moms”—and what that really means Chelsea’s identity shift after becoming a mother and the honest challenges that followed The myth of “having it all” and the real cost of trying to do it all at once The 20% gap: what happens when women leave the workforce after having kids How leadership development can look different for moms (and why it should) What companies must do to actually retain and support high-performing working moms The power of community: how Momentum is creating space for women to lead on their terms Chelsea’s personal leadership philosophy and why modeling mistakes makes better leaders—and better moms Details on Momentum’s leadership cohort, free working mom calls, and retreat experiences that offer true rest “What power if we had more leaders in the world that could own their mistakes, be accountable for their mistakes, and then alter the path that they're on, right? That's a powerful leader. And I'd also argue that's a really powerful mother that can model that for their kids. Yes, maybe I made this decision for our family. I've decided it wasn't my decision. This is why, this is what I've learned, and that's why we're pivoting. What strength to model that for our children.” – Chelsie   CONNECT WITH CHELSIE Instagram: @working_with_momentum LinkedIn: Chelsie Bruggeman   CONNECT WITH JILLIAN Follow me on IG: @thejillianmurphy Sign up for my FREE Webinar → go.thejillianmurphy.com Join my Facebook Community: https://bit.ly/sellingsecretsgroup

Welcome back, babes, to the Scale Your Sales Podcast! In today’s episode, Jillian sits down with Cole VanDee, a top-tier email marketing strategist, copywriter, and consultant who’s helped scale multiple 8- and 9-figure businesses. From selling cars at 19 to working with internet giants like Tai Lopez, Cole shares his incredible journey, hard-earned insights, and no-fluff truth bombs about what it really takes to succeed in the world of sales, marketing, and online business. This episode is raw, real, and filled with powerful takeaways for entrepreneurs at every stage of growth. Topics Covered: How Cole went from car sales to building high-performing marketing funnels for 9-figure clients The power of taking bold action—even when you feel underqualified Why getting rid of the wrong people in your life might be the best business decision you ever make How he landed Tai Lopez as a client (and the unglamorous truth behind getting big opportunities) The ugly truth about what it actually takes to build credibility and get noticed Breaking down revenue levels: why making more doesn’t always mean taking home more From $100K to $100M: the scaling differences nobody talks about Why focus—not reinvention—is the secret to growth What it means to be a true visionary and get the right people in the right seats Cole’s advice for content creation, avoiding the scroll trap, and staying in your zone of genius “You're either going to be choosing the people that are in your life and that's going to hold you back, or you're going to choose to get rid of those people and deal with the other side of that equation—which is you're going to get closer to where you want to be, but you're not going to have those people anymore. And to me, it doesn't matter if that's your brother, your cousin, or your best friend of 30 years. If they're on a path that you don't want to be on, and they keep taking your time, energy, effort, focus, a piece of your brain every single day—if they're sucking you into drama, if they're holding you down—at some point, you have to learn that lesson where it's like, "Okay, I'm gonna let you go." And it's not because I'm better than you.” – Cole   CONNECT WITH COLE: Instagram: @colevandee   CONNECT WITH JILLIAN JOIN INFINITY™ here → thejillianmurphy.com Follow me on IG: @thejillianmurphy Join my Facebook Community: https://bit.ly/sellingsecretsgroup
