    Episode 191: Blogging Can Help You Get Other Media Inquiries

    Summary In this episode, I'm sharing a lesser-known benefit of blogging: your posts can get you featured in larger publications, journals, and the news. I tell the story of a client whose blog posts on a specific population led two people to reach out for features. I also tackle the biggest blocks I hear, like no time, no capacity, or not feeling like a good writer, and explain why you're already educating patients every day and just need to write it down. What I Talked About How a body of work on your website gets you found by journalists and larger publicationsA client story: blog posts that led to two feature requestsMaking your posts personal, not genericCommon blocks: no time, no capacity, "blogging is dead"Why you don't need to be a "good writer" to startMy Monday Minute journey to 100 newslettersBlogging as written patient educationBlog vs. social media for brick-and-mortar and online businessesWhy I recommend two blog posts a monthBlogging as a long-term investment Work with me + learn more!

    Episode 190: A Phrase I Love to Help Me Say No (Or Yes!)

    Summary In this episode, I share one of my favorite decision-making frameworks: every time you say yes to one thing, you're saying no to something else. Before I get into it, I give a quick life update (it is extremely hot here and I am not okay), share that I started a ceramics class, and give a business update. I'm fully booked, taking on new projects into January and February, and thinking through ways to potentially serve more people. What I Talked About The heat wave hitting our area and why it's a bigger deal here than you'd thinkStarting a ceramics wheel class and possibly switching to hand-buildingTrying to make friends at an art studio (everyone has their AirPods in, of course)Business update: fully booked, waitlisted for new websites, booking into Jan/Feb for Google Ads, Meta Ads, and web projectsThe frustration of not having capacity to help people who've been burned by bad workIdeas I'm noodling on: live webinars and live SEO teachingMy time with Emma Jack in 2021 and how she helped me go all-in on my digital businessThe framework: every time you say yes to something, you're saying no to something elseHow I actually run through this question: time, energy, mental load, hobbies, finances, and peaceWhy predictability and energy exchange are always my top prioritiesA reminder that you get to decide what your business looks like Work with me + learn more!

    Episode 189: Discounted Evals and Meta Ads

    Summary In this episode, I'm breaking down why I don't recommend running discounted eval ads for cash-based PT clinics. The discounted first session approach pulls in the wrong patients, creates a price transparency problem, and honestly mirrors the kind of healthcare experience most cash-based owners say they left behind. You'll hear my take on the goal of a Meta ad and how it isn't to sell a cheap eval, what happens when you pitch a full-price package after a discounted first visit, and why locking people into a landing page takes away their ability to make an informed healthcare decision. You don't have to discount your services to make ads work, and I'll tell you exactly what to do instead. What I Talked About Personal updates: pottery class, finishing Yesteryear, reading The Wedding PeopleBeing at max capacity and why I'm scheduling clients into the new yearMy Brick app auto-schedule and why I love having hard stops on work accessWhat the actual goal of a Meta ad is, and what it isn'tWhy a discounted eval pulls in the wrong people and creates a transparency problemThe disconnect between a discounted first session and then pitching a full-price packageWhy locking people into a landing page takes away their ability to make an informed decisionWhat to do instead: awareness-focused ads, transparent pricing, and letting clients come to you ready Links I Mention My Amazon storefront (full camera, lighting setup, mic)Kajabi — affiliate link for 3 months for $99Descript (transcription and captions)The LextroMind (mentorship program with Shante — enrollment opens end of year) Work with me + learn more!

    Episode 188: Tech & Set-Up You Need to Record An Online Course

    Summary This week I'm sharing everything I use to record my online courses, from my camera and mic setup to the software I use to record, edit, caption, and host. I also give a quick business and personal update before diving in, and I share why recording a course is actually the easiest part of the whole process.

    Episode 187: When Moving Your Website Actually Makes Sense

    Summary In this episode, I'm diving into the topic of moving your website from one platform to another and why it's not always the right move. I share which platforms I recommend, why Squarespace is my top pick for health and wellness practitioners, and what it really means when switching platforms feels easy. The short version: if your website is easy to move (energetically and financially), it probably needs more work on it. What I Talked About Which website platforms I actually recommend and whyWhen moving your website does and doesn't make senseThe "forever home" concept and why your platform choice matters long-termWhy a price increase is not a good reason to switch platformsHow content and SEO work tie directly to committing to your platform Work with me + learn more!

    Episode 186: Meta Ads for Brick-and-Mortar Practices & What They're Actually For

    Summary In this episode, I'm sharing my honest take on Meta ads (Facebook and Instagram) for brick-and-mortar practices. I break down why I don't believe Meta ads alone can fill your schedule, what they're actually useful for, and the order of marketing operations I recommend. I also share a quick life and business update, including that I'm nearly booked out for large projects through the end of the year. What I Talked About Why word-of-mouth and SEO should come before paid adsGoogle Ads vs. Meta Ads for brick-and-mortar clinicsWhy Meta ads are interruption marketing, not intent-basedThe real purpose of Meta ads: brand and service awarenessHow multiple marketing channels work together to actually fill your schedule Work with me + learn more!

    Episode 185: Legal Documents Your Website Needs And What They Mean

    Summary In this episode, I'm keeping things light and talking about something I get asked about all the time- legal documents for your website. Before diving in, I share a quick life update: it's August and I'm already planning ahead for fall, which always brings a wave of inquiries. Most of my business is retainer clients at this point (some since 2021!), so spots are limited, and I'm booking into October and November. The main topic is the four legal documents most website owners need, what they do, and why they matter. This comes with a big disclaimer that I'm not a lawyer and everything I share is from experience building websites and learning from legal professionals over the years. Consult with your own lawyer accordingly. What I Talked About Fall business planning and booking timelinesThe nature of my retainer client relationships and why clients stay long-termThe Bear and Ted Lasso as my current TV watchesThe four legal documents every website owner should consider: Privacy Policy — legally required; tells visitors what data you collect and how you use itTerms & Conditions — not legally required but highly recommended; protects you and sets rules for how people interact with your siteMedical Disclaimer — important if you publish health/PT content and don't want readers to mistake it for medical adviceAccessibility Statement — an emerging area of legal risk; shows good faith effort toward an accessible websiteAccessibility plugins (ElfSite and UserWay) as practical toolsWhy I don't recommend using AI to write legal documentsHow to add legal pages to your website (blank page + footer link)Course terms and conditions as an additional document if you sell digital products Legal Template Links  Please note: these are affiliate links.
