I spent six years building an audience of 300K+ followers on Instagram. I’ve sold everything from $27 webinars to $10K offers through the app.

Yet, last year, I shifted my primary focus to LinkedIn - where I have less than 2,500 connections.

The result - I’m signing high-level clients faster and easier, even with a tiny audience.

In this episode, I’m sharing my candid, strategic analysis of the two platforms and why the "Dior-level" client you want is probably waiting for you on LinkedIn.

We cover:✦ Why I’m seeing sophisticated buyers leave Instagram and where they are going instead.

✦ How to replace "performance" with "presence" and where you can sign $5K clients easier

✦ The Intent Gap: Why 2,500 followers on LinkedIn are worth more than 100,000 on Instagram.

✦ My strategy for visual experts: How to use your aesthetic eye to disrupt the corporate feed and more.

This is a conversation with my brilliant client Elaine Whitt, an experienced Life Coach and Coach Instructor who has trained thousands of coaches over the years.

Elaine has a deep background in the industry - she's been successfully working with clients 1-on-1 and trained other coaches for years through in-house roles and referrals.

But despite her success, she realized that relying on unpredictable word-of-mouth or another company's brand left her feeling insecure. She wanted to own her own path.

We worked together inside my Brand Mentorship program to help her translate her deep expertise into a standalone business.

In this conversation, you’ll hear how Elaine:

• Overcame the "Comfort Trap": Why she decided to launch her own offer despite having a steady stream of referrals, and why she prioritized building assets she could control.

• Moved Past the Fear of Visibility: How she navigated the vulnerability of stepping out from behind a corporate brand to stand fully in her own vision and authority.

• Skipped the "Busy Work": How she avoided wasting months on websites and complex intake forms, and instead followed the shortest path to sales and results.

• Productized Her Genius: The exact process of translating her intuitive coaching style into a clear, sellable framework.

• Shifted Her Identity: How mastering marketing and sales didn't just build her business - it transformed her into a sharper, more resilient coach.

Elaine’s story is proof that you don’t need to rely on "hope marketing" or wait for referrals to build a business that lasts.

If you are a true expert in your field and you are ready to stop relying on others for your leads and finally build a brand that is 100% yours - this episode will show you what is possible.

Meet my amazing client Diana - a trauma recovery & embodiment coach for women.

Diana has been coaching for over 8 years. Her work is deeply transformational - but for the longest time, she relied on referrals, quietly doing powerful work behind the scenes, yet always feeling like a hidden gem.

And while her clients loved her, her online presence didn’t reflect the depth of her expertise or the results she created.

Earlier this year, Diana decided that had to change. She joined my BRAND mentorship to step into more visibility and design a signature program that would offer women a complete transformation, beyond 1:1 sessions.

In our conversation, you’ll hear how she:

• Moved through the fear of being visible and started showing up consistently on Instagram.

• Shifted the way she sees the value of her work (this is the piece that blows my clients’ minds every time).

• Created her first masterclass that positioned her as the go-to coach in her niche.

• Started showing up on video and building her presence with confidence.

Diana’s story is such a beautiful reminder that even the most experienced coaches can stay “hidden” for years - until they decide to claim their space, own their brilliance, and build a brand that finally matches the depth of their work - with strategy and support.

Can you successfully sell coaching when it’s not about making money?

Yes — and in this episode, I’ll show you how.

Earlier this month at a wedding in Lisbon, a happiness researcher asked me: “Is it even possible to sell coaching that isn’t business or money-related?”

If you’ve ever wondered the same - whether you’re a life coach, personal stylist, wellness mentor, or anyone whose work transforms lives in a non-financial way - this episode is for you.

Inside, I share:

✨ Why people happily pay premium for transformation that’s not linked to money

✨ How to position your work so it feels essential, not “nice-to-have”

✨ The kind of ROI you must highlight when selling non-business coaching

✨ How to paint the “after” so vividly, clients can already feel themselves in it

✨ My own story of building a multi–6 figure style coaching business with high-ticket clients

If you’re ready to package, position, and present your non-business coaching offers in a way that clients instantly see the value — this episode will shift everything for you.

This episode is extra special - I’m bringing on one of my amazing clients, Mansi Khatri, a personal stylist based in Dubai with a decade of experience.

When Mansi first came to me, she already had the skill, the reputation, and years of styling under her belt.

But online? She felt invisible. She was posting like a blogger, active on Instagram every single day, yet only receiving a trickle of inquiries.

Fast forward a few months of working together inside Stylist Accelerator and then Brand Mentorship — and her entire business transformed.

In this conversation, you’ll hear how Mansi:

• Shifted from daily posting to a simple, strategic presence a few times a week — and became fully booked with dream clients.

• Raised her prices and sold her premium offer immediately, even though she never believed that level was possible for her.

• Transitioned from sharing content as “just another style blogger” to being seen as an expert — with clients reaching out and booking directly.

• Achieved in 3 months what she once thought would take 3–4 years.

• Discovered how storytelling and communicating the client’s transformation changes everything.

• Realized that referrals alone aren’t enough to build a thriving business — and what’s actually needed instead.

Mansi’s story is proof of what’s possible when you pair your brilliance with the right strategy.

If you’ve ever felt like you’re doing “all the things” online but not getting the results you deserve, this episode will show you a very different path.
