    Episode 174: Guarantees & Marketing: SEO, Google Ads, Meta (FB & IG) Ads

    Summary In this episode, I'm diving into one of the most important — and most misunderstood — truths in marketing: there are no guarantees when it comes to leads, new patients, or clients. If someone is promising you a specific number, that's a major red flag. I break down why all marketing tactics — whether that's SEO, Google Ads, or Meta Ads — ultimately come down to working with humans who move on their own timeline. I also share what I actually believe ethical, trust-based marketing looks like, and why controlling the controllables is the only strategy worth building on. What I Talked About My recording schedule and why Fridays happened this weekLearning Stick Season and All Too Well on pianoA Google Ads course update — I found my block and I'm planning to release itBusiness update: not taking new clients until end of JulyMay gray, June gloom, and a throwback to working in AlaskaMarketing silos — SEO, Google Ads, and Meta Ads — and what they can and can't promiseWhy guaranteeing a specific number of leads is a major red flagThe human trust and purchase cycle — people book on their timeline, not yoursWhat a real marketing "guarantee" actually looks likeWhy I believe good marketing doesn't need the consumer to be distracted, rushed, or uninformed Work with me + learn more!

    Episode 173: Blogging Has Never Been "Dead"

    Summary In this episode, I'm getting into something I see come up again and again: Your ideal client may not even know that your service can help them, and that's a real problem worth addressing. I share a real-life example from a volleyball game where a woman was troubleshooting her shoulder pain by cycling through chiropractic, acupuncture, and MRI recommendations, never once landing on the solution that might have actually helped her most. I also revisit why blogging is absolutely not dead. In fact, it's one of the most powerful long-term tools you have, especially as AI search pulls directly from your website content. If you're not publishing, you simply won't show up... period. What I Talked About My personal update on the Google Ads course I'm developing and the mental blocks I'm working through around itA quick business update: I'm not taking new clients right now outside of pre-booked website projectsWhy your ideal client is searching their symptoms, not your service — and what that means for your content strategyThe real reason blogging will never be dead, no matter what anyone tells youHow AI search results like ChatGPT actually work — and why they depend entirely on your website contentA story from my inner circle about a client who found her pelvic PT through a symptom-based blog searchWhy writing to your client's symptoms and lived experience matters more than leading with your service name Work with me + learn more!

    Episode 172: Are Your Meta Ads "Successful"?

    Summary In this episode, I'm sharing some life and business updates before diving into a topic that's been on my mind after attending a recent business event. I break down Meta ads (Facebook and Instagram ads), what "interruption marketing" really means, and how to define success when running ads. I also talk through why getting lost in data you're not using can hurt more than help, and why patience matters when sales cycles are long. What I Talked About Recapping my trip to New York City with Anna of Movement Rev, upcoming travel to see my parents, and our Switzerland trip coming up in 49 daysUpdates on my Google Ads course, current client availability, and why I'm considering closing my books to new one-on-one clientsHiring a one-on-one mentor for a six-month social ads mentorship and what that means for my business going forwardThe difference between Meta ads (interruption marketing) and Google ads (intent-based), plus why boosted posts are not the same as real Meta adsHow to define a conversion and why the first true measure of ad success is simply whether someone did the thing you asked them to doWhy I prefer low-ticket offers over free lead magnets, and advice from Claire Pelletreau on only tracking data you'll actually useHow long sales cycles mean someone might opt in today and not buy for a year, and why focusing on your controllables is what matters most Work with me + learn more!

    Episode 170: Updates, Rambling, Thoughts on Solo Travel

    Summary I kept this episode light and personal, sharing a life update after wrapping SEO School and heading into a busy season with client work, travel, and a new Google Ads offer. I talked through what this current season feels like for me, balancing work and hobbies, and how I’m approaching a more predictable stretch of the year. I also got into a strong opinion I have about solo travel and why it’s just not something I’m interested in, despite how often it’s encouraged. I wrapped by sharing what’s coming next in my content, specifically more education around how to evaluate and hire for websites, SEO, and ads. What I Talked About Wrapping SEO School and moving into a full client and travel season Shifting from “slow” to “predictable” seasons in business A weekend recap: piano, volleyball, house reset, and daily life rhythms Upcoming travel: NYC work trip, Switzerland, and visiting family My current season of work vs hobbies and what “nourish” looks like this year Letting go of pressure to do everything all at once My thoughts on solo travel and why I don’t enjoy or prioritize it The idea that not everything that’s “recommended” is actually right for you Wanting shared experiences vs doing things alone Teasing a future episode that may involve interviewing my mom What’s coming next: educating on how to hire for SEO, websites, and ads The importance of knowing what to look for and what to question when outsourcing Work with me + learn more!

    Episode 169: Why SEO School Doesn't Fit the Mini-Training Model

    ➡️ Enroll in SEO School (Enrollment closes 4/24/26) Summary In this episode, I break down why SEO School is intentionally not a mini training and why it never will be. I walk through the difference between one-off, quick-hit trainings and comprehensive education, and explain why SEO simply cannot be taught effectively in a 60 to 90 minute format. I share my experience attempting to condense SEO into a single webinar, why it failed, and how that reinforced my commitment to teaching SEO as a full system rather than isolated tactics. I also explain how I’ve thoughtfully pulled out smaller trainings where it makes sense, but why the full course is necessary to actually get results. Ultimately, this is a conversation about integrity in offers, not watering things down to fit trends, and making sure what I sell actually works. What I Talked About Why SEO School is not a mini training The difference between mini trainings and full systemsWhy SEO cannot be effectively taught in a short format What I’ve pulled out into standalone trainings and why My failed attempt at an SEO foundations webinar The importance of teaching both strategy and implementation Why I prioritize integrity over trends in my offers How SEO School is structured to actually get results Work with me + learn more!
