    555: MY REAL-TIME FUNNEL: REELS, STORIES, ADS

    Trying to grow your business without burning out? In this episode, I'm sharing the exact funnel I'm testing in real time — daily reels, one high-intent story, and a $5 Instagram ad that actually grows your audience (without buying followers). It's scrappy, doable, and built for the one-woman show. If you're stuck on what to post or how to sell without spiraling, this one's for you.

    554: WHAT MOST FUNNELS MISS (AND WHY IT'S COSTING YOU MONEY)

    Your funnel isn't finished at checkout — and if that's where it stops, you're leaving profit on the table. In this episode, I break down the power of back-end marketing and how to turn buyers into repeat customers with simple, strategic touchpoints. From Hello Bars to intentional ad placements & captions inside your course framework, this is how you build a quiet, consistent profit engine that supports your main offer long after the sale.

    553: THE REAL REASON YOUR GOALS AREN'T WORKING – AND WHAT TO DO INSTEAD

    Ditch the vague goals and set one bold, measurable target for your business in 2026. In this episode, I'm breaking down why a single "primary target" creates more clarity, momentum, and results than a list of intentions ever could — and how to actually aim for it.

    552: WHY THINGS FAIL EARLY (EVEN WHEN THEY'RE GOOD IDEAS)

    Most things don't fail because they were bad ideas — they fail because the season, systems, or support weren't there. This episode unpacks the real reasons offers flop early, and why it's not too late to try again. RESOURCES MENTIONED NOTE: Some links below contain affiliate/referral links.

    550: WHEN EGO RUNS THE BUSINESS (A PIZZA STORY)

    In this episode, a frustrating pizza experience becomes a clear business mirror – revealing how ego, overcommitting, and ignoring capacity can quietly break systems that once worked. We talk about the cost of powering through, the difference between consistency and stubbornness, and why pausing, adjusting, and choosing clarity is not failure – it's leadership.
