Description

Happy 2026! Heidi’s kicking off the year a little later than planned (because the end of 2025 was, in her words, a “complete and utter Schmidt show”)—but with a message every overwhelmed business owner needs to hear:

You don’t need to do more this year. You need to do what you can repeat.

In this episode, we’re breaking down the three anchors guiding our year: consistency, courage, and balance and we’re sharing how we’re simplifying our marketing (and life) while shifting her business more toward consulting/coaching and stepping into a major season of leadership.

 If you’ve been stuck in the “I should be doing more” spiral, this one is your permission slip to build a strategy that actually fits your bandwidth. 

Episode Highlights:

• How to pick anchors for your year (not a mile-long goal list).
• What consistency is and is not. 
• How to simplify marketing with your minimum viable. 
• Why repetition is a brand-building superpower. Most of your audience didn’t even see your last post—so you’re allowed to say the same thing again (and again).
• Why you need to do one visibility move a day (or a few per week). Follow up with leads, send the DM, make the ask, nurture relationships…visibility compounds. 
• Understand that burnout is expensive. It doesn’t make you successful, it makes you harder to find and can dry up your pipeline. Capacity isn’t a flaw; it’s data.
