    You have transferrable skills to become an online service provider w/ Hallie Schmidt

    What do a classroom of 20 tiny humans and a booked-out online business have in common? A lot more than you think. In this episode, I’m joined by Halle Schmidt - a former teacher who turned her transferable skills into a fully booked online service provider business. We talk about the real journey from teaching to entrepreneurship, how to translate your background into client-ready skills, and the one mistake that keeps most new service providers stuck after signing their first client. Whether you’re a teacher ready to step out of the classroom or a mom curious about building an online business, this conversation will show you what’s possible—and how to get there faster.

    You can learn content from a piece of trash

    You can learn content strategy from a literal piece of garbage. The most memorable piece of content I saw wasn’t a viral trend or a 10-step list - it was a 15-second TikTok about how to put on a trash bag. And I still think about it every time I take out the trash. That’s what sticky content does: it’s simple, actionable, and unforgettable. In this episode, I’m breaking down why endless lists don’t make you bingeable, what actually makes content stick, and how mom brands can use this shift to land collabs, grow affiliate $$, and become the authority in their space. You’ll leave knowing exactly how to create one scroll-stopping idea your audience remembers the next time they cook dinner, handle a tantrum, or scroll Instagram / TikTok.

    Taking a Social Media break w/ Sarah Petrilla

    What if taking a break didn’t mean disappearing?In this honest conversation with returning guest Sarah Petrillo (@thesassycollab), we unpack the guilt that comes with stepping away from social media—even when you know you need the break. If you’ve ever felt like logging off might mean falling behind, being forgotten, or letting people down… this episode is your reminder that rest ≠ irrelevance. We talk about how to recognize the early signs of burnout, how to listen to your body (and energy), and how to detach without ghosting your community or yourself. We talk:• How to know it’s time for a break (before burnout hits)• The subtle signs of content fatigue you might be ignoring• Why we feel guilty for unplugging (and where that comes from)• Social media as connection vs. distraction• How to return without pressure—or a dramatic comeback This is your reminder that you don’t owe anyone your energy when you’re empty. Your business, your audience, and your creativity will be just fine—and so will you.

    When soul meets strategy w/ Sarah Petrilla

    What if your strategy didn’t require a checklist? In this conversation with Sarah Petrillo of @thesassycollab we dive into the tension between content that connects - and content that performs. If you’ve ever felt like you're “doing everything right” on social media but still feel disconnected, this episode is for you. Sarah shares how she’s moved from social media management into intuitive business mentorship, what “soul meets strategy” really means, and how to stop diluting your essence and value in the name of consistency. We talk: What happens when strategy turns into performance How to reconnect with your why (without the pressure) The real power of slow mornings and energetic boundaries Why alignment is the new algorithm This episode is a full permission slip to stop pushing and start practicing presence — in your content, your schedule, and your energy.

    Part 5: Marketing that feels like you and still works

    You’re not here to perform.You’re here to connect.And this final part of the series is about how to actually do that — without defaulting back to pressure, posturing, or someone else’s tone. We’ve unpacked the freeze, the shame, the fear of sounding salesy, and the misuse of pain points. Now, we bring it all together and ask: What kind of marketer do you actually want to be?Because you can write honest content. You can speak with nuance. You can show up in your leadership without shame or superiority. In this episode, we talk about:– The 3 shifts that will make your content more powerful and trustworthy– How to talk about pain without simplifying or shrinking it– Why clarity > coercion, and how to create messaging that reflects your values– What it means to lead through presence instead of pressure If this series cracked something open for you, Clubby is the next step.This is where you unlearn the old, shame-based content culture — and build a marketing rhythm that reflects your real voice, your real leadership, and your real brilliance.No pressure. Just power.www.socialmediaignited.com/the-clubby

    Part 2: Why shame based marketing seemed to work

    Let’s talk about the kind of content that made you feel small— and why it seemed to work. In this episode, I’m naming what most people won’t: a huge chunk of online marketing wasn’t built on trust. It was built on FAKE urgency. On manipulation. On shame.It worked—technically.It sold offers. Filled masterminds. Grew brands.But what did it cost? This episode is for the service provider who’s done with recreating the kind of content that once made them feel behind. The one who’s rewriting what authority and trust look like. The one who’s rebuilding a relationship to their message that doesn’t rely on pressing pain points just to convert. We’re unpacking:– Why shame creates urgency (but not safety)– What happens when you sell from superiority– And how to recognize the moment you choose to lead differently Listen now to break the trance of “content that works”—but doesn’t feel good. In Part 3, we’re talking about the fear of sounding “salesy”—and why that fear might actually be a sign you’re finally doing it right.
