💌 Teri says hi.

 

Hey friend,

This week we’re talking about building businesses, turning setbacks into rocket fuel, and why your voice belongs on a podcast (yes, yours).

If you’ve been thinking “maybe I should start a podcast…” — keep reading.

But first, some quick updates:

Last week was Gregg and my 14 year wedding anniversary. I can't believe it's been 14 years. To celebrate we went for dinner, and then on Saturday we went to see Snoop Dogg perform at the BC Lions game and it was so much fun! Snoop is on my bucket list as a celebrity I want to meet so if any of you know him... hook me up. 

Yesterday was the launch of the first (Almost) 1:1 workshop with Teri and Yahel, and it was amazing! We were both so happy to work with everyone who attended and we can't wait to do it again... so we will. Stay tuned for it. 

 

 


🎙 Podcast Recap: Success in Mind

You know I love a good reinvention story — and this week’s episode delivers.

Dorothy Andreas joined me on Success in Mind and shared how she sold her car at 19 to open her first salon, rebuilt after a devastating fire, and now teaches entrepreneurs how to scale fast, all while dancing through tough times to a little help from Madonna (yes, really).

Whether you're building your first business or your fifth, her story is pure fuel for the journey.

Let’s get into it 👇

In this conversation, Dorothy Andreas breaks down the highs, the lows, and the mindset it takes to keep going no matter what:

✅ How she launched her first salon at 19 by selling her car
✅ The fire that destroyed her business—and what she did next
✅ Why mindset is everything when it comes to sustainable growth
✅ The 3-part formula she teaches clients to scale fast
✅ How podcasting is opening new speaking opportunities for her
✅ And yes… the one Madonna song that carried her through the hardest times

🧠 Why You Need to Start a Podcast (Like… Now) 

Here’s the truth no one is telling you:
Podcasting isn’t saturated. It's underserved.

There are millions of listeners hungry for content, but they’re not looking for "more podcasts."

They’re looking for your voice, your perspective, your expertise.

Here’s why now is the best time to launch:

🎙 Podcasting builds instant authority — you're seen as the expert.

🎙 You create long-form, evergreen content that works while you sleep.

🎙 Long-form content converts faster than social media content

🎙 It opens doors to collaborations, partnerships, speaking gigs, and clients

🎙 And most importantly: your message reaches people who need it.

Your future clients?

They’re literally out there, right now, searching for you.

 


⭐ Teri’s Top 5

1️⃣ Podcast: Streamline Success. This is Dorothy's Andreas' podcast and if you liked her episode on my podcast, you'll love her show!
2️⃣ Podcast Tool: Riverside (perfect for remote interviews)
3️⃣ Snack: SmartSweets Gummy Worms 
4️⃣ Beverage: Canada Dry, zero sugar, Raspberry Lemonade. I'm living on this right now
5️⃣ Productivity hack: naps. There is nothing better than a 20 min power nap. 

 


That’s it for this week, friend.

As always, thank you for being part of this ride with me. Now go binge Dorothy’s episode, and if your inner voice is whispering, "It's time to start my podcast," I hope to see you in the challenge.

Until next time, may your coffee be strong, your mindset stronger, and your tech actually work on the first try.

byee,
Teri

Why positive thinking isn't enough.
  💌 Teri Says Hi. Hi friend, Often when people talk about "positive thinking" what they're actually referring to is "positive self-talk". And while that sounds like a good thing, it can actually keep you stuck where you are and limit your growth. The problem is that self-talk is only 1 of 6 things you do in your mind.  The 6 Things You Do in Your Mind: Pictures Sounds Feeling Taste Smell And ...

💌 Teri says hi.    Hi friend, Can you believe it’s already October? 🍂 The energy right now feels like a mix of “let’s get cozy” and “let’s get serious about finishing the year strong.”  Personally, I can't believe it's October... or how long it's been since I send one of these.

 💌 teri says hi.    Hey friend, Is it just me, or is summer a whole mood shift? I love the slower pace, the sunlight, the spontaneous iced coffee runs… but I’ve also noticed that somewhere between the beach days and the calendar chaos, motivation can quietly check out. That’s exactly why this week’s episode of Success in Mind is a must-listen! We’re talking about the summer slump, what causes i...
