November 17, 2025MOTM #691: Is Selling on Black Friday, Selling Out?
Are you selling out by selling on Black Friday? Maybe! Like all things in online business and life, there’s nuance here, but ultimately it boils down to the way you run your business the other 364 days of the year. Yes, consumer culture is toxic, but we can’t take it down by pretending it doesn’t exist, and commerce isn’t going anywhere either. So you can sell—I probably will in my own way—but make sure you’re keeping your people in mind, not just your profits.
Let’s chat.

November 10, 2025MOTM #690: Realistic Expectations for Online Business
The Boss Babes and the Brochachos of the online business space just keep spewing bullshit about what it takes to succeed, and I can’t sit idly by and let people think they’re telling the truth. There are people who would treat online business like a pyramid scheme, but there is a better way—a way that doesn’t involve scamming or lying to people, and selling a path to “success” that isn’t real. I want every single one of us to succeed, and I also am committed to being honest about what it looks like on the back end of online business which means setting realistic expectations. That way, you won’t quit before you can even get going.

So how do you find those people—or better yet—how do they find you? Well friends, we attract what we are, not what we want. Are you acting like the kind of person you want to work with?

October 13, 2025MOTM #686: Why Does Social Media Suck So Much These Days?
I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but the internet sucks now. And when I say the “internet” what I really mean is Instagram and Threads. The algorithm only rewards either rage bait or meaningless slop, and I’m not having fun the way I used to online. But social media isn’t going anywhere and it’s also an important element of running an online business. So while social media may suck, we’ve got to find a way to use it that feels right.

October 06, 2025MOTM #685: How I Handle Late Sign-Ups
Y’all know I have a love-hate relationship with my Last Minute Lucys, but as much as I can’t understand them, I have an even bigger problem with my Day After Danielles. I make a big deal out of my open and closed cart launches so no one is lost on when they can buy. So why then, is there always someone asking to get in on my programs the second I close the cart? In your business, you can do whatever you want, but for me? I’m more interested in working with people a bit more intrinsically motivated.
