  • #198 - Grow Faster on Social Media

    Progress moves faster if you’re in the right group and this week's podcast episode breaks down exactly why. 

    When you watch someone at your level pull off a transition, a vlog, a UGC video they'd never tried before, it closes the gap between "I should do that" and "I can do that too."

    That's the real engine behind community, and it's the thing I’ve built the studio around from day one.

    It's also why we have decided to launch the Muthership Studio app - launching in the App Store and Google Play mid-August! 

    Tune in to hear how the studio evolved from an email-alert platform with weekly lessons into your daily content engine!  You’ll also learn what community building actually teaches you about listening to your members and why personal branding remains so important especially during growth periods! 

    🚨IMPORTANT NOTE:  When the app launches, all existing members will remain in the studio at their current monthly rate. JOIN NOW to lock your monthly rate at $36 before the price increase in August. No long term commitment - leave any time.

  • #197 - The Magical Follower Count

    We're all chasing the same number. More followers, bigger following, the next milestone. But here's what nobody says out loud: that number isn't tied to your income, your success, or your freedom. 

    Enter the algorithm… Most of your followers aren't seeing your content - not most days, maybe not ever. The platform decides who gets shown what, and it's optimizing for its own goals, not yours. 

    In this week’s episode I’m sharing how to shift your focus and make the follower number work for you. You don’t need 10k, 20k, 100k, or even 1 million followers – you need a real connection with the people who show up for you consistently: your comments, your repeat customers, your email list. That's the audience you own. That's the one that ultimately pays you.

    If you want to really learn how to monetize your social media, check out the Muthership Creator Retreat for in-person learning, strategy and a real content plan.

  • #196 - Don't Become a Social Media Clone

    Remember when DVRs let us finally skip commercials — and we loved it? Social media is now our TV. And somehow, as creators, we've built our own commercials right back into the feed.

    On this week's episode of The Muthership Creator Strategy, I’m breaking down a theory I can't stop thinking about: the same viral "hook line" formulas every guru is teaching are the exact reason your retention is tanking. 

    Once enough creators use the same opening lines, audiences stop getting hooked and instead they get warned. The formula becomes the tell. "Nobody's talking about this." "I was today years old when I learned..." You know the ones. Your audience knows them too. And the second they clock it, they're gone.

    That's just the start. I also cover:

    ·       why "just be authentic" has become its own guru niche (and why that's a problem)

    ·       the mindset shift that changes who you're actually talking to when you post

    ·       why giving yourself permission to flop might be the smartest growth move you make this month

    ·       how to build an opening that comes from your content instead of a downloaded PDF of hook lines

    If you've ever felt like your own content is starting to bore you, this one's for you.

    And if you need a BETTER way to think about the ingredients needed in your opening lines, listen to THIS EPISODE!

  • #195 - Livestream Sales Tips with British Hill

    Why Live Shopping Works (And How to Actually Sell During a Livestream)

    In this week’s podcast, I had such an informative conversation with British Hill, a TikTok live sales expert with 20+ years of on-air selling experience for HSN and QVC! She also hosts the Prime Collective, a community built for women over 40 which connects creators with brands!

    And she knows her sh*t! We had an eye-opening conversation about buyer psychology and why people actually click that purchase button!

    Here’s what I learned:

    Live shopping isn’t like video shopping. When someone’s watching a TikTok shop video, they’re getting information one way - whatever you decided to show them. But when they’re in a livestream? It’s different. They can ask questions in real-time. They feel like you’re their personal shopper. That changes everything.

    There’s a psychology to it. Most creators think their job is to convince people to buy. It’s actually the opposite. Your job is to help people make confident buying decisions. There’s a difference, and it changes how you show up entirely.

    The gap between features and benefits. You probably know this, but British walks through exactly how to do this in real-time on a livestream and the examples are chef’s kiss!!

    But here’s where it gets really good: We talk how to build trust through community, how to actually use energy and urgency without being pushy, and how to sell services (not just products) on a livestream.

    I took like three pages of notes, and I think you will too.

    Fair warning: There is a lot of valuable learning in this one AND my studio members are getting an extra 30-minutes of British’s expertise in a special bonus segment available only in da clerb!! If you’d like access to the full episode, email me:  [email protected]

    BONUS EXCITEMENT!!! British is offering listeners $10 off the monthly membership to the Prime Collective if you use the code:  MUTHERSHIP

  • #194 - Muthership Creator Retreat

    I've spoken at a lot of conferences over the years. And every single time, someone comes up to me and says: "I wish you could just show me how to do this. Can you sit down with me?"

    That gap between listening to something and actually being able to do it? That's what I'm trying to close.

    So I'm hosting my first in-person Muthership Creator Retreat in October in NYC and it's completely different from traditional speaker events. It's immersive. It's hands-on. It's built around learning by doing, not just sitting and listening.

    RESERVE YOUR SPOT HERE!

    In this week's podcast episode, I'm walking through the entire vision and plan. Why immersion actually changes how you learn (think: language learning). What the three days look like. Why the one-day option still packs a punch. And honestly, why this matters if you're feeling stuck or like you're not progressing.

    This isn't an infomercial episode for the event, it's me explaining exactly what I've envisioned, eliminating any questions you might have and my thoughts on why it's going to make a real difference.

    If you have any questions, feel free to email me directly:  [email protected]

  • #193 - Building Your Own Community

    If you think the algorithm is broken for reaching your audience, guess what? There's something that isn't broken.

    Direct access to the people who actually care about what you're doing.

    In this week's episode, I'm talking about private communities - not as some big, daunting thing you have to build tomorrow, but as the actual future of the creator business. And honestly? I’m not the first person to talk about this!

    I'm sharing why community is so different from just posting content, how going through transformation together is what actually keeps people invested, and the one thing you should start doing right now if you're even slightly interested.

    Plus, some personal stuff about why this has become so much more meaningful to me than I ever expected.

  • #192 - Why Vlog Content Converts to Followers

    Vlogging isn’t what it used to be!

    When you hear "vlogging," what comes to mind? Probably some daily lifestyle creator showing their morning routine, or a YouTuber showing their travel diary.

    But here's the thing: vlogging is actually one of the most underrated tools for building your personal brand, making sales, and creating trust with your audience, no matter what you do.

    And it doesn't look like what you think it does.

    In this week's episode, I'm breaking down why vlogging works in literally every niche, how it removes the filter between you and your audience faster than any other format, and why showing your process matters way more than telling people to buy.

    Plus, I'm calling out the difference between daily vlogging and strategic vlogging (and why one actually moves the needle on your business).

    If you think you're not the "vlogging type," this episode might change your mind.

  • #191 - Turn Viral into Cash

    You got 50M views... but where's the money?

    Viral videos have this mystique of being a lottery ticket to easy money. You see headlines like "Creator quits day job after going viral!" and the illusion feels REAL.

    But in today’s episode, I broke down what actually happened to some of the most popular viral creators out there, and it's not what you think. 

    That viral window is SO short. Brands want what's hot TODAY. Not yesterday. And if you don't have a plan BEFORE you go viral, you're basically watching opportunity walk past.

    In this episode, I'm calling out the myth and sharing exactly what separates creators who actually monetize their moment from those who just get a cool story to tell.

    Listen in to hear the full breakdown, the creators who did it RIGHT, and what you should actually be planning for.

  • #190 - Creator Automation Tools - Secrets Shared

    I've tested a LOT of automation apps to streamline the creator process (and I mean a lot!) And I've finally landed on the ones that actually work for my workflow.

    But here's the thing - every single one has nuances nobody talks about.

    In this week's episode, I'm breaking down the creator tools I'm using right now
    StanStore
    Repurpose.io
    Zapier
    ManyChat
    and which email platforms I've cycled through and why. 

    I'm sharing what makes each one worth the money (or not), the hidden limitations I discovered after actually using them, and exactly where you might run into problems.

    Plus, how to figure out which tools are actually moving the needle on YOUR conversions versus just draining your monthly budget.

    If you're trying to scale and not sure which tools are worth the investment, this one cuts through the noise.

  • #189 - Making Money Through Digital Products

    What if I told you there's a way to monetize your audience that doesn't require a huge following, doesn't take constant upkeep, and could actually work while you sleep - literally!

    I'm not talking about courses where you're selling courses about selling courses (we all know those vibes are weird).

    I'm talking about something way more real.

    In this week's episode, I break down exactly what counts as a digital product, how creators in every single niche are already doing this (even if they don't realize it), and why you probably have everything you need to get started.
