Calm Nervous Systems Make More Money
3d ago00:16:15Tap to summarizeYou can be doing everything right and still struggle to make consistent money. This isn’t a motivation or strategy problem. In this solo episode, Michal McCracken explains why business instability is often rooted in nervous system capacity. When your body doesn’t feel safe holding more income, clients, or visibility, growth gets delayed, overcomplicated, or quietly avoided, even when the strategy itself is solid.Michal explores how nervous system protection shows up in pricing, launches, visibility, and follow-through, and why doing more doesn’t automatically lead to earning more. This conversation is for women building service-based or coaching businesses who want calm, sustainable growth without burning out or white-knuckling success.At the end of the episode, Michal shares how this work is supported inside Rewired to Rich, her coaching program for women who want to build businesses that support both their nervous system and their income. If you want your business to grow without constant pressure, overdrive, or collapse, this is where that work begins. The podcast is proudly sponsored by JuicyCRM.

Transcribe →Grow Your Business by Becoming Ordinary: The Nervous System Side of Consistent Income
Mar 2900:12:41Tap to summarizeIf your income feels inconsistent, it may not be a strategy problem. It may be that success still feels unfamiliar in your nervous system. You likely know how to work hard, push through resistance, and create results occasionally. But consistency often feels harder to sustain than effort.In this episode Michal McCracken explores why business growth becomes more stable when success stops feeling rare or fragile and starts feeling ordinary. When every sale, client, or launch carries emotional pressure, the nervous system stays in a state of bracing, which limits capacity for growth.This episode looks at: • Why inconsistent income often reflects nervous system pressure, not lack of strategy • The difference between resting and withdrawing in business • How hovering, checking, and attaching meaning to outcomes keeps businesses unstable • Why gratitude, when forced, can become another form of pressure • How expectation and calm repetition create steadier business growthIf you’re tired of pushing, hustling, or relying on motivation to keep your business moving, this conversation offers a more sustainable way to think about growth. Michal also shares how this work is supported inside Rewired to Rich, her private coaching program for business owners who can already create income but want to do it without stress, urgency, or burnout.

Mar 2200:37:17Tap to summarizeIf you’ve ever turned ads on, watched numbers move, and still felt unsure what actually worked, this episode will change how you think about marketing entirely.Marketing feels overwhelming for many small business owners not because they are doing nothing, but because they are trying to interpret incomplete or misleading data.In this episode of the Space and Grace Podcast, host Michal McCracken is joined by Jeff Greenfield, founder and CEO of Provalytics, to break down what truly drives marketing results for small businesses and solopreneurs without requiring a full-time marketing role. Jeff explains why common metrics like clicks and last-touch attribution often give a false sense of clarity, and how focusing only on what converts “last” can lead you to cut the very channels that are quietly driving growth. Using practical examples, he walks through how attention, awareness, and impressions work together over time, especially in a world where cookies are disappearing and digital platforms constantly change.Learn:Why advertising has always been uncertain, and why that’s normalHow focusing only on clicks can quietly undermine long-term growthWhat impressions actually tell you about whether your marketing is workingHow attention leads to trust, and trust leads to sales over timeWhere service-based businesses should focus first with limited time and budgetWhy consistency matters more than chasing the newest platform or tacticThis episode is especially useful for coaches, consultants, and service-based business owners who want clearer decision-making around marketing without obsessing over dashboards, trends, or short-term fluctuations.
