She Outgrew Her Offer + Created a YouTube System Built for CEO Energy

Published on: 24th April, 2025

What if evolving your signature offer didn’t mean scrapping everything and starting over?

And what if YouTube could become the most sustainable, aligned lead engine in your business—without turning into a full-time content creator?

In this episode, I’m joined by Melissa Mitchell of Wandermint Creative. We’re talking about what it really looks like to outgrow an offer, make changes with maturity, and shift from “this should work” to “this actually serves.” And then in the second half—we get into straight fire YouTube strategies no one else is sharing.


This conversation will meet you where you are if you're navigating shifts in your offers, craving long-term lead systems, or ready to explore YouTube as more than just a visibility tool.


Drop in on this one—it’s a strategy-filled evolution story with big takeaways for any coach, course creator, or service provider who’s building with intention.

  • [30:00] What the YouTube + Google podcast merger means for your content strategy
