I help business owners make more money in less time, so they can create bigger impact. It doesn't matter what it is, we all have a sense of purpose. We want to leave a legacy. We want to matter. And the best way of doing that, is to become wealthy. But the sad reality is a lot of us are stuck in 'weenie' mode. In other words, we make up excuses for why we can't become our brilliant, wealthy selves. That ends with this podcast. My name is Katie McManus. As a CPCC (Certified Professional Co-Active Coach) I know how to help people like you to reach their financial goals, and earn the life they've always dreamed of. Until quite recently, I described myself as a business strategist and money mindset coach who was focusing on helping business owners with ADHD to get more income from their business. I've been helping some of them get eleven times the value of their investment back. And then, I had an epiphany. I was being a weenie. Being a business strategist is not the limit of my gifts to the world. I'm also a political activist, a serial entrepreneur who oversees multiple six figure businesses, and I'm the founder of a non-profit with dreams of helping members of the LGBTQ+ community to find more joy from their lives in a very specific way. And all of that is being achieved by scaling my business in a way that I don't have to be in it every hour of the day, but still make enough money to work hard on making impact. Do you also want to learn how you can make more money, in less time, so that you can create impact on your community, or with projects that are important to you? Want coaching on money mindset, sales advice, and general business growth, but all from the safety and comfort of your own space? If you're wanting to listen to business strategy and money mindset advice that's specifically targeted to business owners like you who want to achieve BIG things but maybe have some challenges, then "The Weeniecast" is the podcast for YOU. I will help you understand your own potential for growing a dream business that works without you but still makes seriously life-changing amounts of money.

One thing you need to prioritize in your business for your mental health
Building Community ResilienceCaring for our mental health is not a solo game; it’s actually a team sport! In this episode of The Weeniecast, we’re exploring the importance of seeking joy and engaging in group activities to boost our mental well-being. Hi, I'm Katie McManus, and I'm here to talk about how we’ve been sold this idea that self-care is all about meditating alone or having a quiet cup of herbal tea, but let’s be real about this - while those things are very nice, they’re not the whole picture. We need to soak up joy with others, whether it’s through a fun book club, artsy get-togethers, or even just sharing a laugh over a ridiculously complicated puzzle. So let’s chat about how we can sprinkle a little more fun into our lives for the sake of our mental health!Links referenced in this episode:weeniecast.com/mindfulnessMentioned in this episode:We'd love it if you'd give us a reviewReview usKatie follow message
