We’ve all sent it. The "Just checking in!" email.

The "Just floating this to the top of your inbox!" email.

And we all hate receiving them.

In this episode, Jennifer Swineford explains why "Just checking in" is the fastest way to kill a sale, and what you should do instead.

She breaks down the difference between Nagging (asking for an update) and Serving (providing value during the wait).

You will learn the Value-Based Follow-Up strategy that gets replies without the guilt trip,

and the powerful "Breakup Email" script that uses psychology to get an immediate answer from ghosting clients.

In this episode, you'll learn:

Why "Just Checking In" signals desperation and annoyance.

How to nudge a client by giving them a free (to you) gift instead of a demand.

Why taking the offer away is often the best way to get a "Yes."

The exact "Breakup Email Framework" Jennifer uses to close files and get immediate responses.

Does sending a proposal make you sweat?

Do you find yourself lowering your price just to get a "Yes"?

In this episode, Jennifer Swineford talks about the psychology of pricing. She explains why being the "affordable option" is a trap that typically attracts the most demanding, least appreciative clients.

You’ll learn why "The client who pays the least demands the most," and how raising your rates can bring you more freedom and better relationships.

Jennifer also discusses the difference between Generosity (giving freely) and Insecurity (discounting out of fear), and gives you the exact script to use when a client asks for a lower price.

In this episode, you will learn:

Why low-paying clients are often the hardest to manage.

Why lowering your price makes people trust you less, not more.

The difference between generosity and poor business stewardship.

What to say when a client asks for a discount.

Are you giving gifts, or are you giving marketing materials?

In this episode, we break down the difference between Service (doing the job) and Unreasonable Hospitality (how you make clients feel).

We introduce a simple test to see if your client gifts are actually generous or just self-serving.

(Hint: If your face is on it, it's marketing).

Jennifer also shares a personal story of being on the receiving end of hospitality, where a client surprised her with a gift so specific, it proved they were truly listening.

In this episode, you'll learn:

Why you should never put your own logo on a client gift.

Why being "good at your job" isn't enough anymore.

How to use observation to give gifts that blow people away.

How to stop being a vendor and start being a partner.

Have you ever pitched a "perfect" client, only to hear a hard "No"?

Have you ever watched a launch fail or a partnership fall apart and wondered, "Why is the universe working against me?"

In business, we are conditioned to view rejection as failure. We grip our plans tightly, and when the timing is off, we panic.

In this episode, Jennifer Swineford steps away from the spreadsheets to talk about Faith, Trust, and Timing.

She shares her story of adopting her new Shiba Inu, Zoe—a dog she never planned for, who broke all her rules (hello, shedding!) and who only came into her life because a previous "dream plan" fell through.

We will talk about the idea that you cannot fill a room that is already occupied and why God (or the Universe) often blocks the door to a "Good" opportunity to keep your capacity open for a "Great" one.

In this episode, you will learn:

✅ How a "failed" foster application led to the perfect family addition.

✅ Why losing a client is often the only way to make space for a better one.

✅ How to reframe a "No" as a divine intervention saving you from a bad fit.

✅ Why we only see the parade float in front of us, but God sees what’s coming around the corner.

✅ Why the right opportunity often looks different than you expected (and why that's okay).

It's entirely possible to have a business that looks amazing on a P&L report. It's profitable, efficient and growing while at the same time feels absolutely draining to the human running it.

We often think if a business is making money, we shouldn't change anything.

"If it ain't broke, don't fix it," right?

In this episode, Jennifer Swineford challenges that myth with a personal story about a profitable offer that lost its spark.

You'll learn why "unhappiness" is an invisible tax on your revenue and how reigniting your own joy can be the greatest sales strategy you implement for 2026.

Discover the concept of the "Invisible Balance Sheet" and learn how to audit your "Joy Margin" so you can scale a business you enjoy, rather than building a golden cage.

In this episode, you will learn:

✅ Why a profitable business can still lead to burnout if the spark is gone.

✅ How Jennifer doubled her sales simply by tweaking an offer to make it fun again.

✅ Why you don't need to burn your business down to find fulfillment. Sometimes small adjustments have a big impact.

✅ 3 critical questions to ask yourself before setting your 2026 goals.

✅ How to identify the tasks that fuel your energy vs. the ones that drain it.

✨ Is your business profitable but no longer bring you joy?

If so, you are stuck in the "Gray Zone"; that exhausting place where you aren't fully working, but you're definitely not resting.

In this episode, Jennifer Swineford tackles the "December Overreach"—the tendency for business owners to try and cram 3 months of work (like launching a new program or podcast) into the busiest 3 weeks of the year.
