    122: Behind the Scenes: How I Grew My Email List With a Low-Lift Collaborative Event

    You've heard of summits. You've heard of bundles. But what if there's a simpler, lower-lift way to collaborate that still delivers real email list growth — without the two-day video marathon or the elaborate launch plan? That's exactly what the Workflow Exchange was. And in this episode — recorded live at the Grow Without Social online event hosted by Gabe Cox — I'm pulling back the curtain on how it worked, what surprised me, and how you can model something similar in your own business. In this episode you'll learn: What the Workflow Exchange actually is and why it's different from a traditional summit or bundleHow I organized it, automated it, and kept my own involvement to 10–15 hours totalThe opt-in strategy I used so every contributor gained email subscribers (not just the ones attendees selected)Why I was so intentional about who I invited — and how that directly impacted the resultsHow to start small if 10 collaborators feels like too much (hint: three business besties is a completely valid starting point)What I'd do the same — and what I'd simplify — if I ran it again Episode Timestamps: [00:00] Introduction from Gabe Cox — what the Workflow Exchange is and why this conversation matters[02:15] My social media journey — from waiting for my Facebook invite to getting completely off the algorithm treadmill[06:00] The Workflow Exchange explained — the idea behind it, the format, and why I built it this way[10:45] Results: ~200 new email subscribers per contributor, roughly 10–15 hours of total work[14:30] The opt-in strategy that made the email growth work — and why I chose it over the traditional "select who you want" model[17:00] What I'd keep the same vs. what I'd simplify next time (spoiler: my Google Drive folder system got a little out of hand)[20:30] Turning it evergreen — what that looks like and why simple wins[23:00] First steps if you want to try something like this in your own business[26:00] The Visibility Vault — what it is and how to grab it Key Takeaway: "Find your core and then expand out as it feels right. You don't have to go big. Find three of your business besties who have businesses that complement each other and launch it that way."

    121: Is AI making you (and your website) boring?

    You've landed on a website and felt nothing — not turned off, just... nothing. Forgettable copy, a professional tone, and zero sense of who was actually behind it. Here's the uncomfortable question: could someone say the same thing about yours? In a market flooded with AI-generated sameness, the businesses breaking through aren't the loudest or the most polished. They're the ones that feel most human. This episode is about how to be one of them. What you'll learn: Why AI tools are flattening the internet — and what that means for your brand right nowThe "you're my person" question every website visitor is secretly askingThree specific places your personality has to show up on your websiteWhat "uniquely you" actually means in practice (it's more specific than authentic)Why your website and email list are the best home for a human brandYour Collab Task: a two-part website audit you can do in under ten minutes Key takeaway / quotable: "Your website is not a brochure. It's the place where someone who has been looking for their person finally finds out if that's you."

    120: How I Grew My Email List 200% Without a Single Social Post

    You've heard "grow your email list" a hundred times. But nobody tells you how to actually do it without posting every day and praying the algorithm cooperates. In this episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on exactly how I grew my email list by over 200% in 75 days — and not a single bit of it came from social media. It came from something older and more powerful than any platform: relationships. I walk you through the four collaboration types I used, which one drove the most growth (and why), and the unexpected referral chain that led me from my own hosted event straight to a paid sponsorship opportunity I never saw coming. Plus the one thing I now believe is more important to your long-term business growth than any funnel, any content calendar, or any algorithm hack. In this episode: Why podcast guesting alone wasn't moving the needle — and what I did differentlyWhat the Workflow Exchange was, how I built it, and why it outperformed everything elseThe real reason a summit sponsorship converts better than a social ad (hint: it's about trust)How to evaluate a bundle before you say yes — because not every one is worth your timeWhy building relationships might be the single most important business investment you can make EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS[00:00] The result first: 200% email list growth in 75 days, no social media involved [02:00] The honest starting point — where my list actually was at the end of February [05:00] Why podcast guesting builds credibility but has limits as a list-growth strategy [08:00] The Workflow Exchange: what it was, how I built it, and why ten women's audiences became mine [12:00] The referral that changed everything — and how one relationship led to another [15:00] Summit sponsorship vs. social ads: why borrowed trust converts at a different rate [18:00] Bundles: the most accessible collaboration type and how to know if one is right for you [21:00] The big idea: relationships aren't just a nice-to-have — they're the strategy [24:00] What this means for your list right now, and your one action step this week KEY TAKEAWAY"List-building isn't a solo project. It's a community project. The relationships bring people to your door — your website has to open it."

    119: Marketing Without Socials - Why I'm Done Letting the Algorithm Run My Business

    If you've ever poured yourself into a post, hit publish, and then spent the next hour nervously checking to see if anyone cared — this episode is for you. Marketing Without Social is officially here. And this first episode is all about why — why the strategy works, why now is exactly the right time, and why building your business on social media is costing you more than you realize. In this episode, you'll learn: Why the "if I stop posting, I'll stop existing" fear is a lie worth dismantling — and what to believe insteadWhat social media platforms are literally designed to do to your brain (it's not connection — it's compulsion)The validated stats every entrepreneur needs to hear about organic reach and time spent onlineThe four owned-media pillars that form the foundation of a social-free marketing strategyWhy this approach is especially powerful for Christian women entrepreneurs who need their business to work even in their busiest seasons Key Takeaway"There is a difference between choosing to use a tool and feeling like you cannot survive without it. For too many Christian women entrepreneurs, social media has gone from tool to tyrant."

    118: Marketing by Obedience: What Happens When You Let God Lead Your Strategy

    You've checked off the logo. You've picked your colors. You've maybe even got a website. But your business still feels scattered — and you're not sure why people aren't finding you. Here's the thing: your brand is not your logo. It's how you make people feel. And if you don't have a clear workflow for putting that brand out into the world consistently — without burning yourself out or living on social media — you're leaving growth on the table. This week I'm sharing a replay of a conversation I had with my friend Tracy Hoth on her podcast, The Organized Coach. Y'all, I listened back to this one and immediately asked Tracy if I could share it with you here — it was that good. We talked brand foundations, podcast workflows, email strategy, and what it actually looks like to build a business without social media when you also have a full-time job (hi, fellow church staff friends 👋). What You'll LearnWhat a brand actually is — and why your colors and logo are just a fraction of itThe brand voice question that changes everything (especially if you're an Enneagram 8 who's been told to dial it back)How to structure a podcast-first content workflow that produces show notes, blog posts, and email content from a single recording sessionWhy podcast SEO and website SEO are completely different — and which one is driving real Google trafficThe quarterly inventory habit that keeps your business (and your website) from growing mold in the cornersWhat to do if you're just starting out and can't afford a full website yet Episode Highlights[00:00] Why Jan asked to replay this episode on her own show — and what made it so rich[02:45] The real definition of brand: it's not your logo, it's how you make people feel[06:30] "Don't build your brand on the sand" — why infrastructure matters more than aesthetics when you're starting out[10:00] Jan's full-time-job reality: working 40-60 hours at a church and still building a business[12:15] Why Jan made a conscious decision — with the Lord — to leave social media out of her business plan[14:30] The exact podcast workflow: batch outlining → scripting → batch recording → editing → show notes → SEO blog post → email[18:00] The 70% growth stat: what happened when Jan started putting SEO-optimized show notes on her website[21:30] Podcast SEO vs. website SEO — why you need to think about both differently (and why AI search is a third category entirely)[24:00] A real client case study: from corporate burnout and zero business to a live website, email list, and affiliate income[30:00] The quarterly inventory habit and why even established business owners need to keep evaluating what's working[33:00] The Third Space Retreat and the Soul Rest Retreat — what's coming in 2026 Key Takeaway"When you are called to something, when the Lord has a purpose for your life, the more you move, the clearer you get."That's the owned media strategy in a sentence. You don't have to have it all figured out before you start. You just have to start.

    116: Why Time Management Is Slowly Killing Your Growth — with Lissa Figgins

    What if the reason you feel perpetually behind has nothing to do with your calendar — and everything to do with your heart? In this episode, Jan sits down with Lissa Figgins, Scaling Strategist and founder of Redeem Her Time, for a conversation that will completely reframe the way you think about your days. If you've ever said "I just don't have enough time," this one's for you. What You'll Learn in This Episode Why traditional time management is actually keeping Christian women entrepreneurs stuckThe doctor's appointment that changed Lissa's entire approach to time — and businessThe difference between being a manager of your time and a steward of it (and why it matters for your growth)What ROTI (Return on Time Invested) is — and how to use it to evaluate what's actually worth your effortLissa's 3 powerful mindset shifts for moving from overwhelm to focus and peaceWhy multitasking is your kryptonite, not your superpowerHow the 12-Week Focus Cycle can help you hit goals faster without the year-end panicThe one question to ask yourself every single morning that changes everything Key Takeaways Busyness is a heart issue, not a scheduling issue. Lissa shares how God used a thyroid scare and a diagnosis of "hystericus globus" (anxiety in the body) to show her that her overwhelm wasn't a disordered calendar — it was a disordered heart. You. Have. Time. Lissa's signature declaration isn't just a motivational phrase — it's a theological truth. God gives each of us 24 hours daily, like manna. The problem isn't the supply. It's how we're receiving and investing it. Manager vs. Steward. Drawing from Matthew 25 (the Parable of the Talents), Lissa unpacks why trying to manage your time keeps you playing whack-a-mole — but stewarding your time leads to kingdom-level expansion in your business and life. ROTI over ROI. You track return on investment for money — so why not for your time? Lissa challenges entrepreneurs to start tracking whether high-time-cost activities (like social media) are actually producing results. The 3 Shifts: "I don't have time" → You have time."I need to manage my time" → I'm here to steward it."What time is it?" → What is it time for?

    115: The Sabbath Principle: How I Took Two Weeks Off and My Business Kept Growing

    I took two weeks off from this podcast — and honestly? I felt guilty about it. Easter season at the church where I work is our Super Bowl. It's holy, it's exhausting, and it requires everything I have. On top of that, a wave of new website clients came in this quarter — which I'm grateful for — but it meant my margins were thin and the podcast had to pause. And then, in the middle of all of it, an email landed in my inbox. A listener had noticed I'd gone quiet. She wasn't frustrated. She wasn't unsubscribing. She was checking on me — and asking how she could pray for me. That email changed everything about how I'm thinking about rest, business, and owned media. In this episode, we're talking about the Sabbath Principle: why God built rest into the design of a well-ordered life, why the guilt you feel when you step away from your business is a lie worth naming out loud, and how to plan ahead so your business keeps serving your people even when a holy season calls you away. You'll walk away with: Why the guilt spiral after a break is a social media problem, not a God problemHow owned media (your podcast, your email list) is the Sabbath-friendly marketing strategyA practical framework for mapping your busy seasons before you plan your content calendarHow to batch content and automate your systems so rest is always an optionPermission to come back — even after a long silence If you've been away from your podcast or email list and haven't known how to return, this episode is for you. Your community is more loyal than you think. Enjoyed this episode? Reply to this week's email and tell me what landed — I read every one.
