    216: The Truth About Lead Magnets (And Why Yours Aren't Working)

    "Why isn’t my email list growing when I’m giving away so many freebies?” Here’s the truth: It’s not your content. It’s not even your audience. It’s your approach. If you're slapping the same lead magnet across LinkedIn, Instagram, and Pinterest without tweaking it for the platform, it’s no wonder you're hearing crickets. In this episode, I’m breaking down why traditional freebies are burning out your audience, what’s actually working for me to grow my email list by hundreds daily and how to tailor your content based on the customer journey across different platforms. This isn’t just theory, friend, it’s the exact strategy my team and I use to fill our funnels with buyers, not just subscribers. So if you're ready to ditch the old "PDF download and pray" strategy and finally start building an email list that converts... grab your coffee, hit play, and let’s get into it. TIMESTAMPS: 00:00 – Why Freebies Aren’t Working Anymore   00:33 – The #1 Mistake You're Making with Lead Magnets   01:20 – The Real “Secret Sauce” Behind My Email List Growth   02:05 – Why Traditional Lead Magnets Stopped Performing   02:54 – How My Business Model Relies on Email   03:17 – My Strategy: Grow Without Fatiguing Your List   03:39 – What NOT to Do on LinkedIn (and What Actually Works)   04:14 – LinkedIn CTA That Converts   05:00 – Pro Tip: Tag Your Opt-In Sources   05:27 – How We Tailor Messaging Based on the Platform   06:12 – Instagram: What Kind of Content Works Here   06:57 – Using the Podcast in Your Funnel Strategy   07:27 – Pinterest: Why It Needs a Different Tactic   08:25 – What Works Best on Pinterest   09:27 – Reframing What a “Lead Magnet” Can Be   10:25 – Understanding Your Customer’s Journey   10:51 – Final Advice for Building a Magnetic Email List   11:28 – Join Me on Instagram & See You Next Week!

    215: 10 Money Rules Every Woman Needs to Know

    Let’s be real… The traditional money playbook? It wasn’t written for women like us. It was built by men in boardrooms we weren’t invited into, and we’ve been told for decades to follow those outdated rules. In this episode, I’m rewriting the entire damn book. I’m walking you through 10 unapologetic money rules I actually live by, the same ones that helped me build multi-million-dollar businesses, buy real estate, take impromptu trips with my family, and create financial freedom on my terms. We’re ditching guilt, flipping the script, and finally making money our way. 💼💃 TIMESTAMPS 00:00 - Why the old money rules weren’t made for us 00:44 - Rule #1: Check your bank account before you check Instagram 01:35 - Rule #2: Data is power. Action is change. 04:01 - Rule #3: Debt isn’t dirty — it’s strategic 06:02 - Rule #4: Everything is negotiable 07:22 - Rule #5: Focus isn’t restrictive — it’s liberating 08:12 - Rule #6: Money deserves to be in a relationship with you 09:19 - Rule #7: Reinvest in the woman you’re becoming 10:52 - Rule #8: If your passive income won’t cover it, don’t buy it 11:57 - Rule #9: A buffer isn’t weakness. It’s leverage. 14:00 - Rule #10: We don’t flex with things. We flex with freedom. 15:45 - Final word: Rewrite the damn rules. RESOURCES 📥 Missed a note?

    212: The Truth About Paid Ads (That Took Me Thousands of Dollars to Learn)

    If your business has plateaued, it’s not because you need to work harder.  It’s because you’re still relying on organic reach to scale a company that’s outgrown it. Let’s get one thing straight: Paid ads aren’t a luxury. They’re a leadership decision. At a certain level—especially when you’re scaling from six to seven figures—visibility isn’t optional. It’s oxygen. And yet, too many women keep trying to out-content a bottleneck that’s really just a lack of new eyes on the offer. 🔥 Hit subscribe for more breakthrough moments! 🔥 TIMESTAMPS 0:00 – Why paid ads matter when you hit a plateau 0:40 – The #1 mistake most entrepreneurs make with ads 1:50 – Know where your audience actually is 2:22 – Why $10/day campaigns don’t cut it 3:40 – Real budget examples: What I spend monthly 6:00 – Data isn’t sexy, but it IS profitable 7:12 – Stop boosting posts (and do this instead) 9:40 – The truth about retargeting ads 13:00 – Why platforms reward you when you pay to play 14:15 – Running ads = growth AND organic reach boost 15:10 – Final thoughts: adapt, invest smart, and grow 📥 Missed a note?
