The Blue Sofa: Beyond Strategy — Leadership & Growth for Women in Business
Welcome to The Blue Sofa: Beyond Strategy — a podcast about leadership and business growth for women in business.
I’m Mia Poulsen, and this is where we go deeper than tactics.
Because at some point, growth is no longer about learning another strategy. It is about developing the leadership required to hold more complexity, visibility, responsibility, and scale.
Inside each episode, we explore the architecture of sustainable growth. We talk about decision-making, developmental psychology, identity shifts, and the internal structures that determine how far your business can actually expand.
This is not a podcast about trends or quick wins.
It is a space for thoughtful conversations about what it means to grow as a female leader — to increase capacity, to evolve your authority, and to build a business that reflects who you are becoming.
If you are ready to move beyond strategy and into leadership, you are in the right place.
New episodes drop every week.

How Katrine Built a 6-Figure Business as an Online Therapist Working Part-Time
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
What if building a six-figure business didn’t require you to go full-time, burn out, or hustle your way to success?
In this episode, I take you behind the scenes of how my client Katrine created a soulful, spacious online therapy business with consistent $15K months—while working part-time and homeschooling her children.
We break it all down into three foundational pillars:
➤ Mindset clarity
➤ Lean client attraction
➤ Simple, supportive systems
You’ll hear how Katrine moved from “maybe it works for others, not me” to magnetic visibility, sell-out offers, and a business that supports her life (not the other way around).
Whether you’re a therapist, coach, or healer—this episode will show you what’s possible when you combine alignment, strategy, and systems..
✨ Inside this episode:
▪ The mindset shift that changed everything for Katrine
▪ How she attracted clients using a simple freebie and low-budget Facebook ads
▪ What “lean marketing” really means (and why it works so well for therapists)
▪ The systems that free up time and create consistent income
