How many times have you told yourself that you need more clients to fix your revenue problems, to scale, or before you can do anything in your business?

It's not the solution.

If your delivery systems are messy, unclear, or draining you, adding more clients doesn't create growth. It accelerates burnout. And the foundation of your business will crumble.

This week we are talking about why so many entrepreneurs default to client acquisition instead of fixing what's breaking behind the scenes. This is about what scaling smart, not loud.

In this episode, you'll hear:

• why more clients won't fix what's broken in your business
• the hidden cost taking on more
• how scaling without structure isn't the move
• how to set up scalable systems that support growth and balance
• what sustainable growth actually looks like in 2026

Decision fatigue, cognitive overload, and negative client experiences don't show up on a revenue spreadsheet, but it all shows up in your energy, boundaries, and results.

If you are ready to scale in 2026 in a sustainable way, this is your episode. Episode 125 is live!

There's been a lot of noise this week in the online space with industry names making big moves. And the internet loves to spin that into hot takes, panic, and personal drama.

In this episode of Katy Calls BS, I'm cutting through the noise. These closures aren't random. They definitely aren't "personal choices." They're market signals.

If you are running an online business, especially with learning based offers, you need to pay attention. This episode is about what's actually changing in buyer behavior, why engagement and retention matter more than ever, and why quality learning experiences beat massive content libraries every time.

You'll hear:

• How buyer behavior has shifted
• Why "more content" is no longer the answer
• The difference between selling access and designing learning
• Why quality learning will always win

Market shifts don't mean learning experiences are done. Courses, memberships, digital products, or other education-based offers can either adapt and respond strategically or get left behind.

Because the businesses that last aren't louder. They're better designed.

Listen now and learn what the current shifts in online business are really telling you.

If January hit and you already feel behind, overwhelmed, or like you should be doing more, welcome back to Katy Calls BS!

We are kicking off 2026 by calling out the BS on this new year energy. The pressure to be fully motivated and executing at full speed by January 2 is one of the fastest ways to burn out before the year even starts.

In this episode, I'm talking about the myth that January is for pushing harder. This conversation is about re-entry NOT acceleration. We're talking about stabilizing before you strategize and easing back into business without the full panic and blowing up your year before we hit February.

Highlights:

• Why January feels heavier than expected (and why it's not just you)
• The lie of "new year momentum" and why it backfires
• How to lower output but not direction
• A simple 3 week framework to ease back into things
• What to ignore in January to keep your sanity

If you've been feeling the post holiday blues, a little foggy, or like you are already behind, this episode will help you breathe, reset, and move forward without forcing energy you don't have yet.

And if you are ready to go, we talk about that too!

The goal isn't motivation, it's steadiness. Listen now and give yourself permission to start 2026 without panic.
