🤩 This week, I’m excited to bring you 2 past favorite episodes of mine that I wanted to re-share! Whether you are new to the community or have heard these episodes before, I wanted to share them with you again because I just know they will add value to your business and brand, even if you don’t have your own podcast. This episode specifically, is all about a formula I’ve crafted to ensure your success as a guest on someone else’s podcast. This recipe is perfect for taking hold of the opportunities that can come with being in front of a whole new audience and presenting what you have to offer so they are hooked! 🪝
💡Key Highlights:
• Going through my “PROFIT” strategy letter by letter, step by step.
• Being strategic and preparing as a guest for that specific podcast.
• Expanding on and utilizing your freebie, or some other kind of offering.

Ep 158: Building Your Email List With A Powerful Lead Magnet
☕ Over the weekend, on a morning walk with matcha lattes in hand, my friend asked me, “How did you grow your email list so quickly?” I had just finished explaining that we had grown the Podcast(h)er email list last year by over 650 people, AND we only started half way through the year! So in today’s episode I’ll be discussing how taking the time to develop some truly powerful lead magnets that your ideal listener needs and wants in their life, is one of the secrets to expanding your reach, your overall credibility and growing your audience. So grab your favorite drink, get comfy and let’s dive into the goodness of lead magnets and how to make it work wonders for you! 🌟
🔑 Key Highlights:
• Gracefully extending an open invitation of value to your audience and avoiding “spammy” qualities.
• How your lead magnet is just the start of building a genuine relationship with your community.
• Sending your audience a variety of quality emails to create that bond and foundation of trust.
• Do you need multiple lead magnets?
• Not just relying on word of mouth and tips for getting it out into the world.
🧲 I also have a little bit of fun homework for you that will make your lead magnets stronger! Go into your personal inbox and observe what emails you tend to open vs the ones you consider cringe. See what you can gather here! Remember, lead magnets are not just this magical tool to collect emails, it is the catalyst for creating deep connections and expanding your community!

Ep 157: Be Intentional(ish) When Choosing Your Podcast Title & Topic
🤩 I just love chatting with new and soon-to-be podcasters! One of the most exciting things you’ll hear them say after “I’m going to start a podcast!” is usually “I already have the title picked out!” Now don’t worry, tons of people skip straight to naming their podcast with no clue what it could really mean for the podcast beyond that, which is why in this episode we are going to dive into all things podcast titles and topics! If you are in the early stages of creating your podcast, use this episode as your expert guide and take notes! 🎙️
💫Key Highlights:
• The top questions you should be asking yourself before naming your podcast.
• Don’t stress and over complicate coming up with the “perfect” title.
• Check trademarks, invest and take the time to go through the legal process with a trademark attorney.
• Should you decide on a title with your business or personal brand in mind?
• Choosing your podcast topic with both a broad appeal and micro niche for your audience.
At the end of the day, you are not going to create a podcast with a title and topic that everyone in the world is going to listen to. Do what feels right for you! Don’t be afraid to micro niche, because when you become the expert on what you're talking about, the right people will find you! 💕
Are you starting a podcast? I would love to hear from you and all your blooming ideas!

Ep 156: Binge The Books Currently On My Nightstand
📚 I can’t be the only one who believes there’s something magical about walking into a Barnes and Noble, with the faint smell of books and coffee in the air! Or maybe the colder seasons make you want to curl up with a good book and a glass of wine 24/7 too? Ever since I was a little girl, I’ve always enjoyed immersing myself into someone else’s words, thoughts, their story process and learning something fascinating from them. I think that’s why I love podcasting so much! So on today’s episode, I wanted to give you a little look into what’s on my nightstand currently. I recommend some great reads for business and personal growth, as well as a fun fictional novel in there too! ☕️
