And So...

If your product isn’t selling, it might not be the product — it might be the way you’re talking about it. In this episode, I’m walking you through two real-life examples from Facebook groups where the offer sounded impressive… but totally missed the mark. We’re talking clarity, friction, and what actually makes someone hit “buy” — plus the one question you have to answer if you want your offer to land. This is the business truth that turns a lukewarm product into a viral one. Let’s get into it. RESOURCES MENTIONED NOTE: Some links below contain...

And So...

If your offer isn’t converting, it might not be a messaging problem — it might be a traffic problem. In this episode, I’m sharing the quiet shift I’m making: focusing on daily clicks to my checkout page. Not just posting content — driving real traffic that compounds over time. If your content feels like it’s not working, this one’s for you. Let’s talk about what actually moves the needle — and how to build for it without burning out.   RESOURCES MENTIONED NOTE: Some links below contain affiliate/referral links.

Let’s talk about building simple, intentional rhythms that actually make life feel like yours again.   RESOURCES MENTIONED NOTE: Some links below contain affiliate/referral links.

Just past. We’re talking about what it feels like to reach a milestone and realize you’re celebrating solo — and how to let that moment still count. From the subtle guilt of shrinking your joy to the grief of outgrowing old circles, this one’s for the woman navigating growth, gratitude, and a little bit of loneliness. You’re not wrong for wanting to celebrate. And you’re not...

And So...

This week’s Business Nugget is a behind-the-scenes look at what it actually feels like to build something new — in my case, a course for The House of Sugar Creek — while still juggling everything else. I’m walking you through the real checklist (not just the cute one), the overwhelm that hits mid-way, and why “just recording some videos” turns into a full-blown tech stack spiral. If you’re in the thick of it too, this one’s for you — a gentle reminder that slow progress is still progress, even when it’s not shiny yet. RESOURCES MENTIONED NOTE: Some...

I’ve been testing my compounding interest theory for almost a month at this point. And there’s this fairly new thing on Instagram called Trial Reels. I’ve seen a few creators in my Reels feed implying they can teach me the secret sauce, but they want $97 to do so. And then someone shared how they were using it, so it made me curious if I could also use it. Tune in to hear all about it!
