Register for the Free Webinar, “How to Create a Profitable Grant Writing Business with Little to No Experience” on Tuesday, Oct. 15th at 4 pm EST. https://grantwritingandfunding.com/academy-webinar

Getting grant writing clients without winning any grants can feel akin to being a college graduate.
You may have some skills, but don’t have any real-world experience.

Let’s talk about how you can easily bridge the gap with some real-world examples of folks from the Freelance Grant Writer Academy, who were exactly where you are.

We have many folks that come in with no grant writing experience and 1) get confident in writing grants, and 2) secure clients within the year!

That is one of the reasons that we have the grant writing master course and offer grant reviews :)

Nonprofits will happily hire you for your grant writing services.
Says hundreds of freelance grant writers and nonprofits that I, and Academy students, have worked with.

A nonprofit is a business. It is just a not-for-profit business, meaning all profit goes back into the business.

I get that you might be on a restricted income right now, working inside a toxic nonprofit.

A popular way that students in the Academy pay for it is to have their nonprofit pay for it.

What?! Why?! How?!

Because many of you have been asked to write grants inside a nonprofit as part of your job description or as a volunteer, but never got training.

Ep. 373: 2024 Generational Giving Results for Nonprofits with Bloomerang

Welcome to Episode 101 of the #BigTalk podcast.

Are you unknowingly holding yourself back by staying in “Good Girl” energy? 

In this episode, we dive deep into the impact of “Good Girl” conditioning on your business, your profit potential, and the breakthroughs you’re striving to achieve with your clients. If you’ve ever felt the need to please, play small, or prioritise perfection, this episode reveals why those habits might actually be undermining your growth.

Join me as I unpack:

How "Good Girl" Energy Blocks Success: Understand the subtle ways this mindset limits your potential and keeps you from embodying your full power and potential.
The Role of the Shadow Feminine in Business: Discover how tapping into your Shadow Feminine – the repressed, unapologetic, and deeply powerful aspects of yourself – can transform your approach to business and create space for genuine, sustainable success.
Three Ways the Shadow Feminine Supports Breakthroughs: Learn practical strategies for how the Shadow Feminine helps unlock boldness, creativity, and authenticity, driving both profit and impact.

This episode is for the visionary woman ready to shift from compliance to confidence, from playing it safe to standing out boldly, and from people-pleasing to powerful leadership. 

Step beyond “Good Girl” expectations, embrace the Shadow Feminine, and watch how it impacts your success, your profit, and your ability to facilitate meaningful client transformations.

* Note: there is some adult language in this episode so wear earphones if you have sensitive ears around*

Thanks so much for stopping by and until next time... much love.

Ep. 101 - Break Free from ‘Good Girl’ Energy: Embrace Shadow Feminine for Success, Profit + Impact

Welcome to Episode 103 of the #BigTalk podcast.

In this episode, we tackle one of the most common struggles coaches face: self-doubt. Whether you're new to coaching or looking to level up your business, it’s natural to feel insecure or uncertain about your path. If you’ve ever felt like an imposter, feared judgment, or worried you’re not good enough to lead, you’re not alone.

But here's the truth: good intentions, a willingness to help others, and positive thinking alone won’t lead to coaching mastery. In today’s episode, we dive deep into the root cause of self-doubt and how it holds many coaches back from stepping into their true potential.

You’ll learn how self-doubt shows up in your coaching practice - whether it’s procrastination, fear of visibility, or feeling overwhelmed by the responsibility of leading others. We’ll also talk about how shadow work and psychodynamic practices can help you break through these barriers, build unshakeable confidence, and move into authentic coaching leadership.

Whether you’re a new or aspiring coach, or a coach who’s ready to go deeper into their craft this episode is for you if you’re ready to stop second-guessing yourself and step into the coach you’re truly meant to be. Tune in and discover the high-level solution that will help you shift from self-doubt to coaching mastery.

* Note: there is some adult language in this episode so wear earphones if you have sensitive ears around*

Thanks so much for stopping by and until next time... much love.

Episode 103 - From Self-Doubt to Coaching Mastery: How to Become the Coach You’re Meant to Be

Quit your toxic nonprofit job and replace your full-time income while writing grants part-time, from home! Join our students in the Freelance Grant Writer Academy to create Financial Stability and Flexibility through writing grants for causes you are passionate about: https://grantwritingandfunding.com/freelance-grant-writer-academy 

World-renowned grant writing expert and Amazon bestselling author Holly Rustick provides coaching that helps new and experienced grant writers replace their full-time income while writing grants part-time from home (or anywhere they want to live or travel in the world). 

She coaches changemakers to master grant writing and start to grow 6-figure+ grant writing businesses on part-time hours via her signature group program, “Freelance Grant Writer Academy."

As an unapologetic feminist, Holly’s work in coaching female grant writers to master grant writing, find their cause-area niche, and navigate value-based pricing and nonprofit sales is breaking glass ceilings for women all over the world.

Every week, she coaches thousands of people through the top-ranking podcast, Grant Writing & Funding, books on grant writing, and inside the Freelance Grant Writer Academy.  

Holly has 20 years of experience in grant writing, and began her freelance grant writing journey back in 2005. While teaching in Kuwait and Indonesia, and then earning a Master’s Degree in International Political Economy in Belgium, Holly saw the light of setting up a virtual-based business in grant writing back in the mid-2000s. Having secured more than $45 million of dollars for nonprofit organizations, and then setting up a multi 6-figure freelance business, Holly has a mission to help female grant writers break out of toxic nonprofit J-O-B-S and create high-level income while freelance grant writing. 

Inside the Freelance Grant Writer Academy, students have secured more than $61+ million in grant funding and $1.3+ million in revenue in their grant writing businesses within ONE year.

To amplify this work, she is past-president of the Guam Women’s Chamber of Commerce and was appointed to the Guam Business Advisory Task Force as an advisor to the first female governor of Guam. Holly lives on the island of Guam with her beautiful daughter, Isabella. 

If you are interested in replacing your full-time income while writing grants part-time from home (or from anywhere in the world!) join the Freelance Grant Writer Academy!
