From Bottlenecked to Breakthrough: Get Out of Your Own Way to Grow
In this insightful episode, Beth sits down with Katie Gootenberg, founder of Digitally
Enhanced Marketing, to talk about what it really takes to scale your business without
losing your spark—or your sanity.
Katie specializes in helping brands transform their customer journey from scattered to
seamless through intentional systems, strategic automation, and a dose of digital magic
that works even when you’re not. But this isn’t just about tech—it’s about trust.
Together, Beth and Katie unpack why entrepreneurs often become their own biggest
bottleneck, how to recognize when you’re standing in your own way, and the mindset
shift it takes to finally let go and grow. From the “air balloon” analogy that will change
how you view business growth to practical tips for delegation and energy investment, this
episode is your permission to build smarter, not heavier.
If you’ve ever caught yourself saying “I’ll just do it myself,” this conversation will help you
see that the next level of your business—and your peace—might start with stepping back,
not pushing harder.
