On Inner Light, we get practical about building a business without manipulative tactics. Copywriter and founder of Bolt From the Blue Copywriting, Rachel Allen shares how she shifted from “do it all” hustle to boundaries, values-led decisions, and messaging that treats customers like adults. We cover the “big lie of marketing,” why depth of relationship now beats mass visibility, how to say no to misaligned work, and what burnout reveals when you finally stop. This episode is straight talk for entrepreneurs who want authentic marketing, conscious business growth,     About the guest  : Rachel Allen is a strategist and copywriter with 16+ years of global experience. She leads Bolt From the Blue Copywriting, helping founders communicate with honesty, clarity, and measurable impact.     Key takeaways  : Treat people like people: human-centered copy that respects a reader’s intelligence outperforms clickbait and pressure tactics. The “big lie of marketing”: solo founders don’t need to execute like multinational brands. Pick a few channels you can sustain; ignore the rest. Depth beats noise: buying decisions increasingly happen in small, trusted circles (DM groups, private chats). Make sure friends of your buyers trust you. Values over revenue: walking away from ethically misaligned clients strengthens reputation and long-term demand. Global lens, shared drivers: across markets, core motivations are stable—safety, belonging, self-respect. Anchor stories there. Visibility vs. connection: be visible enough to start conversations, then prioritize relationship depth to close. Boundaries protect creativity: time-boxed work, deliberate offline time, and quarterly reset weeks improve client work. Burnout’s lesson: overworking often masks discomfort. Real relief comes from addressing underlying fears, not more output.   Connect with the guest   Website: boltfromthebluecopywriting.com LinkedIn: Rachel Allen Substack & Instagram: Bolt from the Blue Email: hello@boltfromthebluecopywriting.com   Want to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life?
