You know that late-night scroll: the one where you’re desperate, searching for answers, and all you find are horror stories or shiny success reels? I’ve been there. Cathy Olson has too.
We’re living in the age of extremes, especially when it comes to GLP-1 medications. The internet is flooded with before-and-afters, hot takes, and scary headlines. But what about the middle? What about the part where you’re not sure it’s working, you’re navigating identity shifts, and you’re too ashamed to tell your best friend you even started?
That’s the conversation I had with Cathy Olson, co-founder of Funnel Gorgeous, expert sales designer, and—most importantly for this episode—a woman who lived the quiet, confusing middle of a GLP-1 journey and came out the other side with a system and a story to share.
This episode is brought to you by The Entrepreneur’s Death Folder:

GLP-1s: The Untold Emotional Journey
When Cathy first heard about GLP-1s, it wasn’t through a headline, but instead from a personal friend. She had someone who quietly shared her success and sparked a curiosity that Cathy sat with for over a year. Like many women, she’d battled not just her weight, but her relationship with food, for decades. She was researching weight loss surgery when GLP-1s came into view.
Here’s what most people don’t talk about: starting isn’t just physical. It’s emotional whiplash.
From the shame of keeping it secret, to the fear of being judged, to the strange disconnection when food suddenly stops being your coping mechanism, this isn’t just about numbers on a scale. This journey is about identity, community, and control.
Cathy didn’t tell her business partner for seven months, because she couldn’t handle the thought of someone stopping her.
The System Behind the Success
Cathy is a systems thinker. Whether she’s building six-figure funnels or navigating her own health journey, she approaches everything with structure and clarity. So it’s no surprise that when she started GLP-1s, she built a support system to go with it—one that included daily tracking, self-compassion, routines for managing side effects, and a commitment to trusting the process.
“I didn’t see results for four months,” she said. “But because of what I’ve learned from business, I stuck with it. I treated it like a long game.”
That mindset made all the difference. It’s part of what inspired her to eventually launch the GLP-1 Cheat Code Workshop—a resource born from hundreds of private DMs and a desire to give others what she didn’t have: realistic, non-judgmental, practical support.
Why This Workshop Is Different
This isn’t a medical webinar or sponsored content. Most importantly, it’s not fear-based or overhyped. It’s Cathy’s lived experience.
Cathy’s workshop walks you through the logistics of a GLP-1 journey, the emotional experience, and the systems that can make the journey less overwhelming. She shares how she navigated nausea, insurance, social stigma, and identity shifts, all with clarity, humor, and zero pressure.
In her words: “If anything, this workshop might talk you out of starting. And that’s okay. It’s just the honest middle.”
The Emotional Shifts of a GLP-1 Journey That No One Prepares You For
-
Food Grief: Losing your emotional connection to food isn’t always a win and can feel like losing a friend.
-
Shame & Secrecy: The stigma is real. Cathy kept her journey secret for over a year, and many of us do the same.
-
New Identity: When your body changes, your self-image has to catch up. That can be jarring and disorienting.
Cathy is quick to remind us: these challenges don’t mean failure. They’re just part of the system and can be navigated.
So Who Is This For?
-
The woman scrolling late at night, wondering if this is her last option
-
The person already on a GLP-1, but feeling overwhelmed or confused
-
The friend, partner, or clinician trying to understand what someone else is going through
While GLP-1s might not be for everyone, this is the kind of workshop I wish we saw more of—grounded, honest, and rooted in real-life experience.

Review the Transcript:
Julie: Welcome back to the System for Everything podcast. Today’s tip is a weight loss hack. Start a GLP one and discover you. Now. Get full. Just looking at a menu. Today we have with us Cathy Olson, the mermaid haired visionary designer who speaks marketer fluently. With 24 years of experience working with brands like Apple, Costco, best Buy, and Disney, Cathy Co-founded Funnel Go.
And FG Funnels alongside her business partner, Julie Chanel, to empower women with affordable marketing tools. As one of the top sales conversion designers on the internet, her cutting edge funnels consistently outperform industry benchmarks, proving that profitable funnels can be both beautiful and effective.
When she’s not designing multi six figure sales funnels, she’s crafting ridiculous Instagram reels or traveling between Disneyland and Disney World, embodying Walt Disney’s famous quote. All our dreams can come true if we have the courage to pursue them, but she’s not here to chat funnels today. Before we get into it, let me say upfront that I am not a medical professional.
This isn’t medical advice. This is a conversation with Cathy about her personal experience. With GLP ones and the system she built to survive it with her sanity intact. Because when Cathy first started looking into GLP ones, she found what so many women do horror stories and highlight reels. What she didn’t find the middle.
The truth, the part where it’s messy and emotional and you’re scrolling at 2:00 AM wondering what you’ve gotten yourself into. So in true Cathy fashion, she did what she always does, built something better. She’s now helped many people understand the realities of GLP ones through Honest Conversations, private dms, and most recently, her brand new GLP one Cheat Code Workshop.
Welcome, Cathy. Thank you for being here. Thank you so much. What a great intro. All right everyone. We’re gonna start, as we always do with the system, reboot A quick reset to start our episode with some humor and humanity. Cathy, what is one thing you believed about adulthood that turned out to be a complete lie?
Cathy: Ooh. Something. I believed that I would feel like an adult while I was here that I would be not still feeling, you know, like that pull of the kid stuff, which I, it’s a good thing though. Like, I, I, now I’m on the other side of that, which I’m like, I, I’ll act like a kid all day. Like, let, like I don’t need to be an adult, so I’m, I’m good with it.
Julie: All right. What is a totally random skill you wish counted on your resume?
Cathy: Ooh, random skill, um, which, which I wish counted. I don’t know. I, I have a, I have a way of making anything monetizable, so I’m like, man, if there’s been a random skill, I’ve like figured out a way to work it in. So I don’t, maybe that’s my random skill.
I think that’s the. Skill there, you figuring out how to monetize
Julie: anything that’s incredible and
Cathy: monetize everything, but not in a bad way, in a good way. Help people and then monetize. So help first and then, then happen to make money off of it, off the backend.
Julie: All right. What is the weirdest thing someone has asked you in your dms?
Cathy: Oh my gosh. The weirdest thing I think like, being afraid to ask me things is weird. Like people Oh yeah. Always apologize and be like, is it okay to ask a question? That’s like, that seems weird to me. ’cause I’m like, you, you’re already asking. Like, just go for it because I’m, I’m open book. So I think that surprises me when
Julie: Yeah,
Cathy: that, that
Julie: surprises me the most.
Same. And I get that a lot about our adoption journey. People are like, oh, you don’t have to answer. And I’m like,
Cathy: no, no. Please ask, please. Let’s go. I’m, I’m, I’ll tell you everything. Like, let’s, yeah. So I think that that’s what surprised me the most.
Julie: All right, everyone, you have met the personality. Now meet the powerhouse.
Cathy didn’t just go on this journey. She tracked, tested, tweaked, and built a support system she now uses to help others. Let’s jump into her experience and everything she wishes someone had told her at the start. Here’s my conversation with Cathy on the system for starting a GLP one without losing your mind.
All right, Cathy, were you nervous to start or just desperate for a solution? Both. Yes. When you were like up and scrolling at 2:00 AM like what were you really searching for? Hoping to find?
Cathy: Honestly like, so I found out about GLP one’s pretty early or I don’t know. I see what seemed like early from a per a personal friend, so I don’t even think I knew to be searching for it because she just told me about it.
So it was in 2022. Uh, my friend yeah. Had lost a, yeah, that is definitely early.
Julie: Or then
Cathy: they made
Julie: headlines.
Cathy: Yeah, I didn’t, I had never even heard of it. I didn’t even know it was called A GOP, but she said, I’m taking this shot. It’s amazing. And I’m like, yeah, sure it is. You know, the whole thing. And so she kind of seeded the idea.
So I don’t even know that I like searched it because it was just her personal experience. So she was my Google, like I just asked her all the things like, where do you get it? Like what does it look like? Oh, oh, it’s a shot. Like, oh my gosh. Yeah. So I think I just worked through her, um, with that. But. With that said, I, I didn’t start until 2023, so it took, it took over a year of her, like her being annoyed at my messages, I think, of answering the questions.
So, so yes, I was nerv. I mean, it took me a year to start. So I think there was nerves, there was desperation. I was researching into getting weight loss surgery. That was where I was at, like at that point. I’ve been through, you know, every diet, everything I could possibly try in my whole lifetime of battling.
My weight and food, right. Battling food. It’s not even battling my weight. I think I would say battling my relationship with food has been a problem. Yeah. Um, and so I looked unto everything and I was looking into weight loss surgery when she talked, when she introduced me to that.
Julie: Was there one moment that made you say, okay, I’m doing this.
Like you spent a long time asking her all the questions, but was there a moment?
Cathy: I don’t know that I, it’s almost like a good thing that IW there wasn’t much online about it, I don’t think I was scared of it because I didn’t hear all that scary stuff. Yeah. So I think I would’ve, I, you know what I mean?
Like, for me it was better than weight loss surgery and it was worth a shot. So, well literally, but, um, it was worth pun intended, and I love it. Yes. Um, it was literally worth me trying ’cause, ’cause that was better than weight loss surgery, in my opinion. Right. Because like. I didn’t want, I hate surgery. Like no one wants to have surgery.
Yeah. So for me it was kind of a no brainer. It was, but just really hard to figure out how to get it, where to get it, how to afford it. Like that part. I think the logistics took me much longer because it was so new, uh, which people don’t have the, that same problem anymore. But yeah, I think I, I think that was my thing was it was, it was the, I, I just didn’t really think it was gonna work, honestly.
I think.
Julie: There’s a part that nobody warns you about, which is kind of the emotional side of stuff. You know, the identity shifts, maybe weird. Its side effects, the way it kind of creeps into how you move through the world. Were there any emotional side effects in starting it and being on it that caught you off guard?
Cathy: Absolutely. So as soon as I realized that it was like not a good thing or whatever, like when, when I heard, started hearing the bad stuff coming out about it at like massive amounts of shame, like I couldn’t tell, I couldn’t talk to anyone about it. I didn’t even tell my parents about it. Like I was so ashamed and embarrassed.
I mean, shame. Was the whole re was, you know, it’s, it’s a whole, like I said, with my relationship with food, that’s been a whole problem with it. But then as soon as there was like the online shame of it and people had, you know, heard it was cheating and all this stuff, like, all that, that was really, really tough because I, I didn’t even tell my business partner.
I think I didn’t talk to Julie about it until I was maybe like seven months in, like, and I fi I finally, she finally said, I finally came out and she said, I. I know, but like, you know what I mean? Like, like she was like, or I, I, I figured, or I thought maybe, right. Yeah. But like, it took me that long to even talk to my best friend about it because of just incredible amounts of shame.
So like, while I was, that was the emotion, that was the hardest part, was like doing something in secret, not being able to talk to my friends. Well, I could have, but I just didn’t feel comfortable talking to my. Family. My, you know, I didn’t want to be judged by anyone or to stop me. ’cause, because I’m, I’m very sensitive to what other peoples think.
Um, super, super, like, you know, codependent, kind. Like I care what everyone think thinks so I, I was like, I can’t tell anybody about this because I can’t let anyone stop me. Yeah. So by the time I finally talked about it, I, and same thing online, it took me another. Year or two year and a half maybe to even talk about it online ’cause of the same reasons.
So that, I think that was the biggest one. I mean, also just like specific things like having a connection with food, emotional connection with food, and kind of having that emotional connection. Broken was good and bad. Right. Like it’s like, yeah. You know when when food is the thing you go to to feel better and then like, it doesn’t make you feel better anymore.
Like it doesn’t make you feel comforted. That was a little weird to not have something to go to. Um, but it was like good and bad because it’s like I didn’t want that emotional connection to it, right? I just want it to be fuel and just. Enjoying food and then not thinking about it. But, um, there was a little weird weirdness and just getting used to how much food I could eat.
You know, like looking like serving myself and then being way too full and then having to get used to how much to take. Like, that took a little bit of stuff. But yeah, the biggest one was definitely me doing it in secret and feeling embarrassed and not, not ever thinking I was gonna tell anyone.
Julie: You are such a systems person in business, but I’d love how you have really applied that thinking here too.
So I wanna kind of talk about the structure you built behind the scenes, like what actually helped you when things got hard. Were there specific routines or support systems that helped you?
Cathy: Yes, absolutely. I will say like my knowledge of business ha gave me the like, failure is fine kind of thing. And also like, oh yeah, to really see three, see things through.
I think the number, this is something I’m trying to instill in my kids is about the follow through. And even if you don’t have results right away, just like. Just trust the process, work it, work the system. So that was one, that was a system that I think really, I mean not, I think a hundred percent because I didn’t see results until, gosh, like four, four months in.
And so if I would’ve been like any, like a normal person, I would’ve stopped. ’cause it was really expensive. I was paying more than a thousand dollars a month. So I would’ve stopped way early. Like if I hadn’t been like, you know what? I need to give this like. A full try. I need to work the system, give it a full, like four or five months to see results.
And I think that’s, I definitely learned that from business like
Julie: to, to just, that’s trust the blood and that’s so good to just apply to so many parts of our lives.
Cathy: So, so, so that, and then also, you know, finding little things that helped, like with nausea, like I, I, uh, I get nauseous like just pretty much all in my life.
Like, I’m, I’m very sensitive to stuff like that, so I kind of knew same, knew it was gonna happen. So I was like, okay, is there, like, I, I would take like Dramamine or something or, um, but I also found this thing called the relief band, which is like a little like, uh, watch that you put on. It kind of zaps you.
I love,
Julie: do you know this?
Cathy: Yes. And I use
Julie: it. I have worn it. While watching movies before, because sometimes if the movies have like intense driving scenes Absolutely. Or like a weird shaky camera effect. Like I’m like, oh, I have to turn this movie off and now I’m like, I could watch this whole movie.
Cathy: Yeah. So it’s meant to be for motion sickness, but it just turn, it like helps with any kind of nauseous.
I would be on calls and everything, you know, doing my thing just, it just zapping away at me. And I was like, so like, yeah. So I, I think like little things like that. Also just, um, just listening to my body, you know, and paying attention when I would get nauseous, like I, I realized, oh, I hadn’t drink, I haven’t had any water in a while, or I haven’t, I actually haven’t eaten something.
I probably should eat something. So I think, you know, those little things really helped. Um, again, ’cause I didn’t, there wasn’t much information online, so I kind of had to figure it out my own, which I think is good and bad because I think I. I don’t know that it would’ve, I would’ve done as well if I would’ve had so much the loudness online.
Right. Which is I think, why some of the things that I do are different than other people, because I didn’t have a rule. I didn’t have a playbook,
Julie: you know? Yeah. If your business couldn’t run without you, that’s a problem. A haunting your assistant from the beyond kind of problem. Enter the entrepreneur’s death folder.

Before life throws a plot twist.
Was there a turning point in the journey where you thought. Okay, I can do this. This is working.
Cathy: I think, I think about six months in when, when people started saying stuff, I think this is the thing, like if you have like, you know, 30 pounds to lose or something, whatever, like this is not as dramatic as, so I lost 120 pounds, so like it’s a long process and it took me more than a year and it’s very slow and very intentional and it’s not.
Like overnight. It’s not quick, it’s not easy, which I wouldn’t have wanted it to be anyway. But I think around the six month point when people started noticing and then I, and then I knew it was gonna keep working. I knew it wasn’t like, okay, this is kind of whatever, but that I stuck with it for six months.
Like, like it was, you know, ’cause I always knew like with weight loss or whatever, ’cause I’ve lost weight lots of times and gained it and, you know, all that stuff. Right. I’ve, I’ve, yo-yo my whole life, um. Uh, the consistency is the biggest problem and, and, and sustained motivation. And so for me to be on, in, on six months and actually work with my life and me, like not being, like, fighting every single moment, like gripping, you know, like my relationship with food, I, that’s when I knew, I was like, this is long term sustainable because I’ve lasted six months without like, like gripping with ev, like white knuckling it, right?
Like why I have done every other time. So like, it was the ease, not the ease, but like it was, it was the me knowing that this was sustainable for a long time and I didn’t have to ever go back, which is, which is what made me know that this was gonna
Julie: finally work. So the questions then didn’t stop when you lost weight, I mean, what kind of messages were you, were you getting,
Cathy: um, do you mean like internally or externally?
I feel like you’re doing things Oh, externally, but. Both I, right. I know. It’s like the messages from who For me or for, because I have like a, I have a whole, you know, peanut gallery. Yeah, I know. I meant like running in like
Julie: people in your real life, but No, that’s so good. I wanna hear about both.
Cathy: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So pe so people in my real life and also people online, I think they’re both similar. You know, they, they, they were afraid to ask, obviously everyone noticed, especially when it got to a point where I had lost, I think 80 pounds ish, like. Definitely people, I mean, everyone knew, right? Like there were, at that point it wasn’t like, wait, has she lost weight?
It was like, oh no, no, she’s definitely lost weight. Right? So people wanted to say something. And also I was showing myself more because the, the prior like three years, every video of me was like, you know, collarbone up, basically like, you know, ’cause that was. The way I did it, that was the only way I could feel like I could show up in the world.
Mm-hmm. So now all of a sudden I was showing my whole body, which was like a whole different side of me. So, yeah, so people just, they would just say, you look great. And then that was it. And then it was like, you look great. Are you doing something? And then it was like, like, it just kinda like, you know, eked out as, as like the, the weight kind of came off.
And so, and I would, I would say medicine. Like, and then they would go, oh, okay, nevermind. And like, so it’s like, I would just say it right up the, yeah, yeah. I’m taking a medicine. Um, yeah. And then, and then sometimes they’d be like, okay, like, tell me more. And other, other times they’d be like, oh, okay. Like, you’re one of those.
And then that would be the end of the conversation. And I was like, okay, fine. Let me know when you wanna hear about it. You know, kind of like, it’s cool. Yeah. Lemme know when you wanna stop judging. Yeah. And same thing in person. They’d be like, are you working out? I’m like, Hmm. I walk, but like, no, I’m not like, really?
You know? And then they’re like, well, what are you doing A medicine? And they’d be like, oh, same, same. Same thing. Yeah. Same thing. Mm-hmm. Internally, I think I was struggling with, I found this amazing thing that’s changed my life, a lifetime full of disordered eating. I want to tell everyone about it. I wanna like scream from the rooftops, but also it’s a personal thing and I don’t wanna push it on people.
So that’s why it was always like an invitation. Like I’ll tell people I’ll answer if you DM me, I will tell you the truth. I never lied once. Like I would, like even in the beginning, like if you ask me about it, I would tell you privately, but do I keep just keeping it private or do I actually talk about it like, ’cause it has nothing to do with our business.
Like, and, and you know, there’s so much around it. Like I don’t want to be like the weight loss girl. Like that’s not, it’s just part of what I did, but it made such a big difference in my life that I wanted to talk about it. So like, so I think those were, the internal message was I wasn’t sure when do I kind of publicly talk about it?
’cause I had been talking about it private. Um, and, and to what extent do I talk about it publicly? I think those are my internal problems.
Julie: So besides your incredible skill to monetize anything. Why? Why did you finally decide to create the workshop, the GLP one Cheat Code workshop, and what makes it different from what else is out there?
Or is there even anything like it out there? I’ve never seen anything like it.
Cathy: I think the, the biggest thing was I didn’t, I didn’t ever plan on monetizing it, honestly. And because I, I thought, oh my gosh, like, I wish something existed like this. I would love, I never planned on doing anything. That’s let, let me start with that.
I never planned on. Making $1 from this. ’cause that’s not, it’s not like what I’m here for. I have lots of, not about that. I make money in lots of other ways. Right? Yeah. But I think where it became like a tipping point is I was getting asked so much about it. I actually po I post. So I finally posted.
Publicly about it this year. And then, and then my dms got flooded. Like it finally gave everybody a green light to ask me what they’d been wanting to ask me for so long. And it, it got to the point where I was like almost acting like a coach to people in my dms. Yeah. Because they were like, I talked to my doctor, what about this?
And then I’d be like, okay, see if they have this, like, ’cause even the doctors don’t know. So I’ve been doing research on this for two years. Yeah. You know? And so I started like. Coaching people for free. And I was like, well, like, I dunno if this is like the, like the best use of my time. ’cause I’m doing these one-offs, right?
And then a lot of people don’t like, know what to ask me. And so I was like, what if I just put some information out there and just have it out there? And people can come, they can, they, you know, can come to a workshop, they can talk. So it wasn’t. About money, making money, and it really doesn’t make a lot of money.
Didn’t make a lot of money. But the idea was just to like, okay, let me make this official, put some information out there so I don’t have to just constantly, you know, DM back and forth with people. I can get it all out, I can get all recorded, get all the resources downloaded and linked and all that stuff.
Like everything I did. Um, so that was really the point of it was to just put the information that I had learned over two years of trial and error and research into one place that people could just grab easily. That was like my biggest thing.
Julie: And then, yeah. ’cause you’re probably getting repeat questions all the time too.
Absolutely. And you were like, totally, this would be easier. To just point people to one place.
Cathy: Yeah. Actually the same, same question. So I would say that for everybody, if you, if you’ve ever getting constant dms about something, throw it into a workshop, like super simple, inexpensive, you know, that kind of thing.
So yeah. So we actually have a course called Easy Launch It, and I took our own course to figure out how, because I don’t ever do anything by myself. Like I, we have a team that builds everything. So like not everything, but majority of it. So I only know how to do like 20% of building a funnel. And so I had to learn like how to do all this stuff, which was really like fun like business exercise to kind of go back to scratch.
Such a good
advertisement
Julie: too, for how good that course works. Yes.
Cathy: Yeah. I literally followed it.
Julie: You didn’t truly know all the parts and you were able to follow it. Yeah. I mean it’s, that’s awesome. It’s,
Cathy: it’s a 30 day, it’s like every day you do something different to get your mm-hmm. Your paid workshop launched.
But I did it in like a weekend, so, I don’t know. I just kind did it really fast, but, which I, I was actually thinking, I was like, we should turn easy. Launch it into a weekend launch. ’cause I did it, you know, we could do it anyway. Wow. There, there you go again about me thinking about things, but, um, but what from, what’s different about it is just, it’s, it’s an experience from a person.
So I, I do believe that, you know, when I, when I first kind of got on this, it was because of one person that had success. That was willing to talk to me and answer my questions. And that was more than anything that really existed online. But I think even now it’s even worse. Like the information, there’s a lot of, there’s mostly misinformation.
Julie: Misinformation,
Cathy: right? Yeah. So that’s why I’m like, I wanna be a trusted source that people know that like I’m, I am who I am, like in and out, and I’m not, like, I don’t really have any, I’m not selling the medications, you know? Sure. If I really wanted to make money, yeah, I’d probably be on that side. But I’m not, I’m not, I don’t have any personal gain other than here’s my information.
Um, what I went through, what worked for me specifically, and just making you feel like, you know, from a human perspective of like, you know, not from a doctor’s perspective. ’cause most doc they, you know, they haven’t, they’re not. Taking the medication themselves, right? Like, and they’re, and they don’t know very much, you know, there’s, they’re still like really skimming the surface unless they’re specialists in this.
So there’s things that, you know, people would be in my dms and be like, my doctor says this. And I’m like, that’s like literally not true. Like you. Or, or they don’t even know what’s available. They don’t know what’s possible. They don’t know. You know, there’s, there’s a lot of things like they’ll tell you just a little piece of it.
And so I had done so much research and I just like didn’t want that to be all wasted. So really it’s just me saying, here’s all the things I tried, here’s all the things I’ve learned about, here’s what I know about this. Here’s how to, you know, like even insurance, I’ve been helping people in my dms kind of navigate insurance.
I’m not doing that, but like for, for anything like that, but. It’s crazy. Like one doctor would be like, no, we can’t do that. And then another doctor would be like, oh no, you just, they just did it wrong. And then it’s like, well, that’s a difference between, you know, a thousand dollars and a hundred dollars a month.
Right? So like it’s really important to know those, the ins and outs of like what you can ask your doctor, what should you ask your doctor? You know, those kind of things.
Julie: I think that you have done such a beautiful job of turning your own experience into something that really can make the road less lonely for other people and.
If somebody is listening right now, who is where you were scared, curious, maybe quietly Googling. I really hope that this episode feels like a conversation that they didn’t know that they needed.
Cathy: Yeah,
Julie: so I want you to tell everyone where they can find you online, how they can work with you on the business side or on this side of things, how they can get your workshop.
Cathy: Yeah, so I have a separate Instagram that admittedly I’m not posting on enough probably. Uh, but I did wanna separate it from, you know, from Funnel Gorg. ’cause Funnel Gorg has nothing to do with weight loss or anything like that. So this is kind of like my personal passion project. Right. Um, so my, my separate Instagram is GLP cheat code, and then the, the website’s glp g code.com.
Um, but, and it’s very inexpensive. It’s $47. It’s, we’ve split it. It bas basically a workshop that I. Did live and then I actually rere, I ended up re-recording it ’cause I wanted it to be cleaner. Uh, I rerecorded it and then split it up into sections. There’s resources, all, all kinds of stuff. I mean, if anything, I’ve actually had people tell me that it talked ’em out of it.
Right? ’cause they were kind of just like interested in knowing about it. And they’re like, yeah, it’s not for me right now, but I appreciate all your information. ’cause that’s kind of, because that’s not, it’s no judgment either way. It’s no shame. Yes, no, do whatever, but here’s all the information, here’s all the true information, and then now you can go and do that with whatever you wanna do with, you know, um, so, so that, so that’s been awesome.
But as far as, and the funnel gorgeous side, you know, we teach marketing and sales and, um, we really like mostly are teaching people who are service-based businesses. Like they have clients and then teaching them how to turn them into courses so that they’re working from one to one to one to many. Which is, I guess is exactly what I did with this.
I was DM the dms. Yeah. Saying the same thing over and over and over again. And I was like, oh, I need to record this so I don’t have to say the same thing over again and I, and so that I can help more people. Right. So that’s really like kinda what we teach on that other side is we really teach people how to turn their knowledge into.
Courses, workshops, group programs, you know, basically more than just one-to-one, and so that they, you could scale your business and have more free time.
Julie: I love that so much of your story, I think is about cutting through that noise and, and giving people what you wish you had had. And so if you are thinking about a GLP one or if you are already on one, Cathy’s workshop is in the show notes.
But for now, let’s shut it down. While I was on maternity leave, I finally binged the righteous gemstones, and I have one question. How did this miss me while it was still on air? It is chaotic over the top and somehow still emotionally grounded, like, which is a wild feat for a show about corrupt televangelists.
I mean, every actor is just absolutely swinging for the fences. But Ededie Patterson, as Judy Gemstone owns a little piece of my soul now. I mean, as a former actor, I would have killed to play her. I mean, the vocals, the meltdowns, the jumpsuits. It is camp, it’s cringe, it’s glorious. 10 out of 10, recommend if you need something, absolutely unhinged.
All right, everyone, thank you so much for listening today, and thank you to Cathy for being here. As a reminder, none of this episode was medical advice. It’s a story, a real raw, incredibly honest. One. If you are curious about GLP ones, Cathy’s workshop is in the show notes. And if this conversation helped you feel seen, please rate, review and share the show.
