A new episode is LIVE! This one is a Christy's Corner was inspired by something unexpected: a little girl on the Little Mermaid ride at Disney.

Watching her experience pure wonder reminded me of something many entrepreneurs lose along the way.

We stop imagining.

We get buried in deadlines, sales goals, operations, and responsibilities. We become so focused on what is that we stop thinking about what could be.

But every invention...
Every company...
Every breakthrough...
Every dream fulfilled...

Started in someone's imagination.

This episode is your permission slip to think bigger, play more, and reconnect with the creative spark that started your journey in the first place.

👉 Marketing isn’t the problem.
👉 Sales isn’t the problem.
👉 The disconnect between them is.

This week on Small Business Success Talk, I sat down with Amy Torres (Director of Marketing, Inc.) and Collin Bonsey (Southwestern Consulting) to talk about what actually drives business growth.

And we didn’t sugarcoat it.

We talked about:
🔥 Why most marketing doesn’t convert
🔥 Why sales teams struggle to close
🔥 The real reason your pipeline feels inconsistent
🔥 How conversations—not tactics—drive revenue

If you’ve ever felt like:
“I’m doing all the things… but it’s not working”

This episode is for you.

Small business owners, it’s time for a meeting of the We Do Not Care Club.
- We don’t care about the “7 steps to 7 figures.”
- We don’t care about hustle culture or comparison games.
- We care about showing up, building something meaningful, and taking care of our people — even when it’s messy.

🎧 Tune in to this episode of Christy’s Corner on Small Business Success Talk as Christy breaks down how viral movements start, why “we do not care” struck such a chord, and how small business owners can create movements of their own.

Huge Thanks to for being so real and willing to lead a movement of bringing more awareness to this phase of women's lives! Sincerely, a fellow member of the WDNC Club.
