    Ep 18: Is Your Social Media Bio Costing You Clients? Try This ChatGPT Shortcut

    Your social media bio might seem like the tiniest detail in your business, but here’s the truth: it can make or break whether someone sticks around long enough to become a client. Think of your bio as a handshake before the conversation — it tells people who you are, what you do, and why they should care in just a few words. If your bio is vague, stiff, or doesn’t sound like you, you could be losing potential clients without even realizing it. In this episode I’m sharing how to stop treating your bio like an afterthought and start using it as a connection point. You’ll hear my own story of how rewriting my bio finally made me feel aligned — and attracted women who instantly connected with my message. Plus, I’ll walk you through a simple ChatGPT shortcut you can use today to create a bio that’s warm, human, and totally you. Episode Highlights & Timestamps: [00:01:00] Why your bio is more than a few words on Instagram or Facebook [00:02:00] The mistake I made with my first bio and how it cost me connection [00:03:00] How shifting my bio brought instant results — people reaching out within a week [00:04:00] Step-by-step ChatGPT prompt to create a natural, clear, client-attracting bio [00:05:00] The action step you can take today to refresh your bio and feel more confident 💕My Favorite Quote: “You don’t need a perfect bio, you just need one that feels human and clear".

    Ep 17: Your First Group Program: Is It Time to Scale Beyond 1:1?

    Hey there Queens! Scaling your coaching business doesn’t have to mean working longer hours or cramming more 1:1 calls into your schedule. At some point, many coaches start to feel that gentle nudge — the sense that it’s time to expand your impact without adding to your exhaustion. That’s where group programs come in. In this episode, I’m breaking down the first steps to move beyond one-on-one coaching and launch your very first group program, even if you’re starting small. I’ll share why group coaching isn’t just about scaling income, but also about building community and creating a space for transformation that goes beyond what you can do alone. You’ll hear real examples, encouragement for when the “what if no one signs up?” fears pop up, and a reminder that your first group doesn’t need to be perfect or packed. Sometimes, four to six women is all it takes to start something powerful. Episode Highlights & Timestamps: [00:00] Why coaches start thinking about scaling beyond 1:1 [00:02] Signs you’re ready for your first group program [00:03] Facing the “what if no one signs up?” fears [00:03:30] A real example of launching a small but powerful group [00:04] How the AI Client Attraction Club can support your next step 💕My Favorite Quote: "You don’t have to wait until everything is perfect. You just need to take the first step.” Links & Mentions: Join The AI Client Attraction Club Here! Ready to create content that actually attracts clients — without the burnout?

    Ep 16: Why Hustle Doesn’t Equal Freedom in Your Coaching Business

    Hey there my Queens! Let’s be honest, -hustle has been glorified in the coaching world, but it doesn’t always lead to the freedom you imagined when you started your business. In this episode of Queens Rise to CEO, I’m pulling back the curtain on why hustle actually keeps you stuck and what to do instead. You’ll learn how to define success on your own terms, align your business with your energy, and set boundaries that protect both your time and your joy. If you’ve been running on empty, working late nights, and wondering why the grind isn’t paying off, this is your reminder that there’s another way. I’ll share practical steps (plus real stories from inside my AI Client Attraction Club) that prove building a business doesn’t have to mean burning yourself out. Grab your coffee or tea, settle in, and let’s chat about creating a business that serves your life—not the other way around. Episode Highlights & Timestamps: [00:01:00] Why hustle doesn’t create freedom—it just creates more hustle [00:02:00] Step one: Defining success on your terms [00:03:00] Step two: Aligning your business with your energy using AI [00:03:45] Step three: The power of boundaries as a CEO [00:04:30] How the AI Client Attraction Club helps you simplify and reclaim your time 💕My Favorite Quote: "Hustle doesn’t create freedom—hustle just creates more hustle" Links & Mentions: Join The AI Client Attraction Club Here!
