    The Bubbles Effect: Monday Marketing + Mindset

    In this New Year kickoff episode, I’m officially ringing in 2026, sharing a few behind-the-scenes updates (new gear, a refreshed process, and exciting guests ahead), and easing back into our Monday Marketing & Mindset rhythm. We dive into what’s shifting in the marketing world right now, including Instagram’s updated hashtag limits, Meta’s latest platform experiments, Threads’ new podcast integrations, and why raw, real, imperfect content is predicted to outperform overly polished posts in 2026. If you’ve been holding back because things don’t feel “perfect,” consider this your green light. I also share my word for the year: Replenish. And I chat about why filling your cup (personally and professionally) is the energy I’m carrying into this next chapter. I also talk about intention-setting, community, and how staying human in an AI-driven world is more important than ever. Because just like bubbles… we rise to the top. Cheers to a fresh year, real conversations, and growing together. 🥂 P.S. What is your word for 2026? Share in the comments so we can support each other!

    The Bubbles Effect: Wednesday Power Hour with Laura Aura

    Hey y'all! Today I’m back after a three-week break (a little rusty and with less-than-perfect audio 🙈), but this conversation is SO worth the listen. In this episode of The Bubbles Effect, I’m joined by Laura Aura, dynamic speaker, personal growth coach, and host of The Gutsy Podcast. We talk about what it really looks like to make “gutsy moves” in life and business 🙌 Laura opens up about growing up in a toxic environment, finding her voice through podcasting, and how becoming a mom was the catalyst for changing everything. ✨ We dig into intuition, burnout, people-pleasing, and that sneaky habit of building businesses that don’t actually feel good anymore. You’ll hear us chat about: Why gutsy moves are often tiny daily decisions...not just huge life pivots How to audit your business for alignment (and what to ruthlessly let go of) Using your body and intuition as a compass instead of just “shoulds” and hustle The importance of fun, connection, and actually liking the business you’ve built Quick heads up: the sound quality isn’t my best on this one (still working out kinks with tools and waiting on new equipment!), but the conversation is awesome, especially if you’ve been feeling the nudge to change something in your business or life. Connect with Laura at lauraaura.com and find The Gutsy Podcast wherever you listen. 💛 Thanks for tuning in and I’m so happy to be back, and I’ll see you on Friday for more mindset, marketing, and momentum (and some champers) 🥂

    The Bubbles Effect: Marketing + Mindset Monday

    Welcome back to The Bubbles Effect, where mindset, marketing, and momentum meet 🔥 In this short episode, I’m diving into two powerful themes: how Gen Z is changing the way we search online and the reminder we all need to just take the leap. We’ll explore data showing that 86% of Gen Z now searches for products on TikTok (yes, you read that right!) and what that means for your marketing strategy as the next generation’s buying power grows. Then, I’m switching gears into mindset mode with a dose of real talk about life’s brevity, trusting your gut, and moving forward...even when it’s scary. Because whether it’s trying a new platform, launching that dream idea, or simply saying yes to something new, the magic happens when you stop waiting and start doing. ✨Tune in, get inspired, and remember: just like bubbles, we rise to the top.🥂 Read more here

    The Bubbles Effect: Wednesday Power Hour with Ari Bliss

    In this week’s Power Hour on The Bubbles Effect, I’m joined by Ari Bliss, a professional ballerina turned mindfulness coach and podcaster 🩰 Our conversation beautifully blends movement, mindset, and the magic of staying present. We talk about how early discipline (like ballet or sports) teaches lifelong lessons in collaboration, resilience, and self-awareness, even when we don’t realize it. Ari shares how she transitioned from the stage to helping others reconnect with their bodies and minds through mindfulness and movement, and why giving ourselves space to feel, move, and heal can open up powerful new energy in life and business. ❤️ Whether you’re building a brand, creating content, or just trying to slow down long enough to breathe, this conversation is a gentle reminder that awareness is where momentum begins. ✨ Connect with Ari:Podcast: Growth, Grace & GratitudeYouTube: Ballet DailyInstagram & Threads: @growthandgracemindset

    The Bubbles Effect: Wednesday Power Hour with Gigi Bier

    Welcome back to The Bubbles Effect, formerly Bubbles & Biz! I’m Nicole Bernard, and this show is where mindset, marketing, and momentum meet. 💥 Mondays are for mindset, Wednesdays are Power Hours packed with actionable strategy in 30 minutes or less, and Fridays keep our classic tradition alive: champagne + founder stories because just like bubbles, we rise to the top. 🥂 This week’s Power Hour dives into a topic I’m super interested in: nervous system regulation and how it fuels sustainable wealth and business growth. 📈 My guest, Gigi Bier, is a nervous system wealth coach who went from corporate burnout to bookkeeping pro to coaching entrepreneurs on profitability, mindset, and the body-based tools that make success stick. We unpack: Why mindset alone can lead to quick wins… and quick backslides The nervous system “states” and how to spot yours Practical daily regulation tools Gigi’s “3 C’s of Safety” How a regulated nervous system helps you create and keep wealth (goodbye, imposter spiral) Takeaways you can use today: Do 2–10 minutes of belly breathing, twice a day. Build awareness: notice your state, then pick a matching micro-reset (walk/stretch for freeze; movement for fight/flight). Strengthen the 3 C’s: check your context, lean into real connection, and reduce choice overload. Connect with Gigi and grab all of her goodies here: https://gigibier.com If this episode resonated with you, please follow/subscribe and share it with a friend who’s building big things without burning out. See you Friday for champagne and an inspiring founder story! 🥂

    The Bubbles Effect: Marketing + Mindset Monday

    Hey guys! Welcome to the very first episode of The Bubbles Effect, formerly Bubbles & Biz! I started this podcast back in 2019 (in my closet 🙈) with a glass of champagne and a mission to connect with other entrepreneurs. Six years later, the show has evolved just like entrepreneurship itself and now it’s where marketing, mindset, and momentum meet! In this episode, I’m kicking things off by sharing how my marketing journey began 20 years ago as an intern at Microsoft. From learning creative strategy (before social media even existed!) to understanding the power of brand loyalty, that experience shaped everything I do today. I’ll also share my biggest marketing tip, how to blend creativity and strategy to build lasting connections, and a mindset reminder that it’s always okay to evolve. Whether you’re rebranding, shifting directions, or simply craving something new in your business, this is your permission slip to make the change. Because just like bubbles, we rise to the top. 🥂 Get the weekly newsletter here: https://nb.marketing/freebies

    Bubbles & Biz: Wednesday Power Hour with Tianna Mamalick

    On this week’s Power Hour, I’m joined by Tianna Mamalick, an SEO + content strategist and founder of SMB Marketing School. 🥂 We dig into what SEO really means in 2025 (hint: it’s inseparable from content), how AI is changing discovery without replacing the basics, and why “zero-click” answers and multi-path customer journeys demand clearer messaging than ever. Tianna breaks down technical vs. practical SEO in plain English, the role of backlinks again, and why your Google Business Profile is a must, even for service-area businesses. We also chat Threads (we both love it!) and the difference between branding flair and the clarity Google, and your buyers, actually need. 🙌 Quick wins you can tackle today: Add clear service/product categories to your homepage and link to dedicated pages. Create separate pages for each core service (no more “one giant services page”). Claim + complete your Google Business Profile and load it with plain-spoken keywords. Connect with Tianna: smbmarketingschool.com and @smbmarketingschool on Threads/Instagram. If this episode helped, share it with a fellow biz owner and leave a review!
