Now that I’m level 2 and can share an insight, let me tell you a story about an entrepreneur named Olivia (not a real name). She built a successful online business teaching women how to take their time into their hands. She started with one simple planner and time management courses, and grew into a really big personal brand, working with experts in multiple fields, publishing their books, courses and changing lives. She was very successful, but her strength became her weakness. See, she built her business on her energy, her face, her ideas - and people loved her for it. She hosted famous live sessions on social media, closed webinars bursting with knowledge and energy, and sold out her products constantly. The problem started… well, when the problems started. You know the saying - it never rains, it pours. Olivia had some major curveballs thrown her way - sure, some of them were boomerangs, but some of them came just out of nowhere. Hard. She suffered from depression. She no longer had the energy to show up on Instagram and Facebook every day. She no longer danced during her live sessions. Her team tried to pick up the socials, but it just wasn’t the same. The sales shriveled. It was just adding fuel to Olivia’s anxiety fire. And here comes one of my biggest regrets - as a contractor, I saw the warning signs. I saw the launch heavy sales model, I saw the social media heavy communication of (who I thought to be) an invincible businesswoman. I saw the data for (non-existent) evergreen funnels. At the time, I just had some anxiety about her putting all the eggs in one social media basket she didn’t even own. We all agreed it’s time to build funnels that don’t require Olivia’s constant time and energy, but there was always another launch to plan and prepare - and if it flopped, it meant business trouble, so prepare we did. Until the sales grew slower and slower, and the pouring rain turned into waves bigger and bigger, culminating in a tsunami wiping the whole business off the face of the earth.

I’ve been thinking about how I can support you more in real time - not just during events, challenges, or structured trainings… but with the actual questions you’re sitting with week to week. So I want to trial something new inside here: 👉 Weekly Ask Me Anything Thread Here’s how it’ll work: All week → Drop your questions under this post (you can comment anytime during the week). Fridays → I’ll go through and answer them for you. This is for: ✨ General strategy ✨ “What would you do if…” ✨ Visibility + email growth questions ✨ Industry trends / what I’m seeing right now ✨ Decision-making help If you ever want me to go deep into your specific business, your funnel, your messaging, or build a step-by-step plan with you - that’s where my Business Breakthrough work comes in. I’ll open up 5 spots for those every Friday. 👇 Drop your questions below anytime this week (No question is too basic or too messy - promise) I’ll be back Friday with answers. Let’s see how this goes - I’m really excited to try this with you.

The Break Up With Instagram Challenge starts next week, and I’m curious - How are you currently feeling about Instagram in your business? No right answers. This just helps me meet you where you’re at as we kick things off 💜 (And if you’re still on Level 1 or 2, you’ve got time to move up before we start.)
