    4 Questions To Ask Before You Post Polarizing Content

    If you’ve ever hovered over the publish button on a polarizing post with a pounding heart and a deep belief in your message, this episode is for you. Polarizing content can be a powerful line in the sand that draws your right-fit people closer, and it works best when it comes from a grounded, clear place. In this solo episode, I walk through the four questions I ask myself (and my clients) before sharing a hot take. Your bold opinions deserve messaging that connects with the right people and turns that connection into clients. You’ll leave with a clear yes or a strategic pause, and a plan for saying it with your full chest. In this episode, I talk about: The four questions I ask before pressing publish on a polarizing postWhy total confidence and sweaty palms can show up in the same person on the same dayWhat happens to the people who disagree with your take (and why it works in your favor)The answer that tells me to wait, and why waiting is a strategic choiceHow to share a hot take so both sides feel respected and honoredWhat a “full-body yes” looks like in your own messagingPower Hours spots are open right now.

    Top 3 Copywriting Trends To Watch in 2027

    Here’s what I’m seeing in my clients’ results that made me confident about next year’s copywriting trends: Picture your ideal client landing on your homepage and thinking, “She’s talking directly to me.” That’s what needs to happen. For example, “Women in perimenopause who want steady energy” gets more clicks from the right people than “women who want to feel better.” I’m sharing why in this episode. My 2025 and 2026 predictions both held true, so today I’m sharing my 2027 predictions. These shifts are for heart-centered service providers, podcasters, coaches, and wellness practitioners who want marketing that converts without becoming a second full-time job. In this episode, I’m sharing: What Google and AI platforms reward and what that means for your blog and your website.This type of content is having a moment (and that’s a relief!)AI is here to stay, but here’s where I draw the line.What writer’s block is really telling you➡️ SHOW NOTES: Grab all the links and resources mentioned in this episode on the blog here! https://www.megankachigan.com/2027-copywriting-trends Want more marketing insight like this?

    3 Ways Your Values Bring in Right Clients with Caryn Gillen

    When you lead with your values, one well-made sale can become 17 more, plus the five people your client refers. Relational selling compounds. And your values leave clues. They shape how you spend your money, your time, and who you attract. In this episode, I'm joined by high-performance coach Caryn Gillen, who has been coaching for 16 years and helps founders build businesses rooted in integrity, sustainability, and permission to do things their own way. We talk about why selling and convincing are two very different things, and how a relational approach leads to clients who stay, refer, and drop your name in rooms you're not in.  Caryn shares 3 ways your values bring the right clients to you (with so much more ease!), and each one will change how you show up in your marketing and sales. You'll also hear a real-world story of a business that lives its values in every single interaction. Plus, Caryn offers a simple way to name your own values, so you finish this conversation with something you can use today.  In this episode, we talk about: The simple shift from convincing to inviting that makes selling feel like you againWhy one well-made sale can turn into 17 more (and the people who come with them)The 3 ways your values bring in the right clients (start doing these today!)The two questions Caryn uses to know and name your values, fast.How to turn your values into the stories you share in your content RELATED EPISODES: Build Fierce Brand Loyalty With Values-First MarketingCopywriting for Retention // Conversion Copywriting Isn’t Enough Anymore (Here’s What Works)Get More Clients Through Relationship Selling With Nikki Rausch5 Essential Mindset Shifts for Sustainable Sales Success—Without Feeling Salesy CONNECT WITH OUR GUEST, CARYN GILLEN Website: www.caryngillen.comListen to her free podcast series “What I’ve Come To Know.” It’s hard-won truths from accomplished women, for accomplished women who know they're not done yet.

    Make Room for Your Best Ideas with Dr Tiffany Shelton

    The authors, thought leaders, and creators I admire most all share the same one habit: they spend the first hour of the morning analog, with a book or a journal, before they ever touch their phone. They do it for themselves, not for the sake of productivity.  But when your calendar is full and so many people count on you, how do you create white space without the guilt or the worry of falling behind?

If you've been craving more room to think, create, and simply be, this conversation gives you a doable place to begin. In this episode, we talk about: The one habit my favorite authors and thought leaders have in commonWhy white space sounds ideal and feels so complicated for high-achieving womenWhat actually happens in your brain when you unplug (and what it does for your decisions!)The heartbeat metaphor that changes how you see restWhat Tiffany recommends if you only have 30 minutes (or less!) to beginThe planning step that keeps your white space satisfyingWhat you need to know about capacity grief (it made my jaw drop)RELATED EPISODES: Rest Is The New Revenue For High-Achieving Women with Dr Shamieka DeanThe Marketing Strategy That Leaves Room for Rest and Revenue CONNECT WITH OUR GUEST: Dr. Tiffany Shelton is a published author and neuropsychologist.

    Kit's Email Marketing Product Update 2026 (What You Need To Know)

    Ever sent an email blast to your entire list and wondered who actually reads it? If you’re trying to make your email marketing actually work, Kit just released an exceptional update: real subscriber intelligence. The new features they just launched make it so easy to both increase buyers on your email list AND love your audience well. The problem with most marketing funnels is that you don't know who your high-value subscribers are until the end of the funnel. Kit's CEO, Nathan Barry, framed it this way: "it's hard to love and serve people you don't know." Success depends not only on who you know, but who knows you, and that's exactly what these new features are built to fix. They help you create the kind of conversations that lead to your best partnerships and your biggest launches. The secret to conversion copywriting has always centered on voice of customer research. That means figuring out who your audience really is, what they need, and how to talk to them in a way that lands. Usually, that means hiring a smart copywriter, running surveys, or piecing together data from five different tools. Kit's 2026 product update changes that equation by building voice of customer insights directly into the platform you're already using to send emails. This episode breaks down the seven features in Kit's latest product update, what each one actually does, and how coaches and creators specifically can put them to work (without duct-taping your tools together). You'll also find answers to some of the most common questions about email marketing tips, campaign ideas, and how to actually do this well in your own list. ➡️ SHOW NOTES: Grab all the links and resources mentioned in this episode on the blog here! https://www.megankachigan.com/kit-email-marketing-update-2026 JOIN KIT: Get started with Kit here.

    3 Website Copywriting Changes I Made for Google Algorithm 2026

    Google recently announced its 2026 algorithm updates at I/O in May 2026, and that made me stop and ask: Is my website actually built for how people are going to find me now? And how can I incorporate this for website copywriting for my clients? Google just fundamentally shifted how people discover businesses online. Information agents are scanning the web 24/7. Agentic booking is expanding to pull real-time pricing and availability. Conversational search is remembering context and surfacing deep-dive content. These affect how your business gets found online. So I audited my own website against these new realities. And I made three specific changes that all business owners can make today. In this episode, I'm walking you through the three specific website copywriting changes I made after Google's 2026 algorithm updates announced at I/O in May. These updates (information agents, agentic booking, and especially conversational search) are actively reshaping how AI finds, evaluates, and recommends service providers online. And the businesses who act on this now have a real advantage. Let’s make sure the website you've already built is actually working for you in 2026 and beyond. Want me to make these website copywriting changes for you so that YOU will be found through Google with its new updates?
