    564: STOP SWEETENING WHAT'S NOT WORKING

    I'm talking about the black coffee rule and the quiet clarity that comes when I stop sweetening things that aren't actually working in my business. I'm sharing what this looks like in real time, from handling misaligned comments to protecting my energy, and why tolerating what's bitter keeps me stuck. This is your reminder, and mine, that I don't have to make everything drinkable. I can set it down, walk away, and move forward with more focus and less noise.

    Introducing Oprah with Belle Burden on the Collapse of Her 20 Year Marriage & Her Bestselling Memoir from The Oprah Podcast. Follow the show: The Oprah Podcast It’s the new memoir that has captured the attention of women and as Oprah describes, “everyone is talking about it." From the outside, Belle Burden seemed to have the perfect life: three thriving kids, a happy marriage and a summer home on the island of Martha’s Vineyard. Then, one day, she gets a phone call that shatters everything she believed to be true about her marriage and her life. Oprah sits down with Belle to talk about the devastation that followed the shocking end of her marriage and how she slowly rebuilt her life into something better than she could have imagined. Drawing on revelations shared in her New York Times bestseller, Strangers: A Memoir of a Marriage, Belle tells Oprah how her prestigious family pedigree couldn’t protect her from the pain of divorce. She also explains how sharing her story has empowered her to become the person she was meant to be.

    563: STOP GUESSING WHAT TO POST

    I'm sharing how I'm using content mining to stop guessing what to create and start listening to what people are actually asking. I walk through how pulling real questions from comments, DMs, search bars, and even other creators helps me find gaps, spot patterns, and use my audience's own words. This approach removes pressure to be trendy, builds empathy, and turns unfiltered language into relevant content that connects and positions you as the go-to resource.

    562: YOU DON'T NEED MORE CONTENT, YOU NEED BETTER DATA

    In this episode, I'm breaking down the exact Instagram metrics I track at the 30-day mark so I can stop throwing content at the wall and start making decisions that actually lead to comments, follows, and sales. I'm sharing what I look at, why it matters, and how I use that data to create more of what's already working – without adding more to my plate.

    561: MANYCHAT: HELPFUL OR SPAMMY?

    In this episode, Taylor shares her honest thoughts about Instagram automation and why tools like ManyChat aren't the spammy shortcut some creators fear. Instead, she explains how automation can become necessary infrastructure for solo business owners – helping you manage growth, protect your capacity, and still build real relationships with your audience without trying to do everything manually.

    560: FROM FOLLOWER TO BUYER IN 7 TOUCHPOINTS

    In this episode, I dive into the real data behind my first course sales and unpack what I'm calling micro moments of trust. By tracking the interactions people had with my content, I discovered it took about seven touchpoints – ads, profile visits, automated DMs, stories, and more – before a complete stranger decided to buy. It's a behind-the-scenes look at how trust builds online and why strategic touchpoints matter more than being everywhere. RESOURCES MENTIONED NOTE: Some links below contain affiliate/referral links.

    558: 153 FOLLOWERS IN A YEAR. 121 FOLLOWERS IN A DAY. WHAT CHANGED? (MY 17 DAY INSTAGRAM EXPERIMENT)

    Instagram wasn't broken – it was misaligned. In this episode, I unpack what actually shifted: deleting 1,700 followers, committing to four intentional posts a day, leveraging trial reels, and using Manychat to turn views into movement. This isn't hype or hacks. It's a real-time breakdown of how clarity, consistency, and one focused goal – one sale a day – started compounding fast.
