Ep 94 | How to leverage vacation content without living on your phone 20.06.2023

In this episode I’ll share my vacation content formula.  I don’t know if you noticed, but you probably get WAY more reach when you’re on a vacation or any kind of holiday.  Why?  Because you’re doing FUN stuff.  And whether we like it or not, people are NOT on social to learn about your business.  They’re on social to zone out.  So it’s really beneficial to mix your biz and social content.  Which...

Ep 91 | Making more money, crafting better offers, and building a business that feels WORTH IT with Belinda Rosenblum 08.06.2023

I lovedddd this unfiltered conversation with Belinda.  When I listen back to it, it really feels like I’m a fly on the wall of a very honest conversation about the parts of money we often don’t talk about, but that we NEED to.  Did you know 87% of female founders make less than $100k a year?  According to Belinda (and myself), that is BULLSHIT.  It is so hard to make a real contribution to your fa...

Ep 90 | When business doesn’t feel worth the time and energy you put into it… 06.06.2023
