If I was becoming the highest, most vibrant, successful, sexiest, richest CEO version of myself in this Year of the Horse…

There are very specific things I would NEVER do.

In this episode, I’m not giving you another “add this to your routine” list.

I’m giving you the elimination list.

Because your next level isn’t built by doing more.
It’s built by tolerating less.

This episode is a mirror.
A recalibration.
An activation.

If you’ve been feeling the pull toward expansion but also noticing where you’re still negotiating… this conversation is for you.

Inside This Episode:

• Why gossip is a growth killer — and what high-level rooms actually talk about

• The danger of keeping your circle wide just to feel included

• Why “save more” is often small thinking — and what wealthy CEOs focus on instead

• The power of building assets, leverage, and income that works for you

• Why proximity to people 10x ahead of you changes everything

• The truth about accountability, coaches, and collapsing time

• Why fitness isn’t about aesthetics — it’s about power

• How your partner shapes your destiny (and why alignment is non-negotiable)

• The subtle ways we numb growth — and how to stop

• Why boundaries are the foundation of abundance

• The identity shifts required to rise into your next level

And the most important question of all:

Where are you still negotiating with your next level?

Balance. Boundaries. Abundance.

And you don’t get there accidentally.

You decide.

You rise in proximity.

This Is the Era of: Ready to Rise?

90% of my sales have come directly from Instagram Stories.

Not reels.
Not viral posts.
Not trends.

Stories.

In this episode, I’m breaking down exactly why Instagram Stories are the most underrated (and underutilized) sales tool in your business — and how to start using them intentionally.

If you’re posting randomly, sharing in real time, or hoping people “just get it,” this episode will shift everything.

We’re diving into:

• Why Instagram Stories are hella powerful for sales

• The intentional strategy behind how I show up

• Why I rarely post in real time (and what I do instead)

• The ONE question I ask before posting any story: Why does she care?

• The 5 categories every story should fall into if you want it to convert

• The difference between authentic vulnerability and trauma dumping

• How to bridge lifestyle content back to your offer

• Why you need to actually sell on stories (polls, CTAs, urgency)

• Why framework > aesthetics

• How batching removes inconsistency and overthinking

If you’re ready to stop guessing and start converting, I’m teaching my exact framework inside:

They come to you.

In today’s deeply personal episode, Ayla opens up about her recent trip to Tulum with her partner, Lucas — a journey that was far more than a vacation. It was a sacred pause. A healing reset. And a turning point after one of the most heartbreaking experiences of her life.

In December, Ayla and Lucas lost their baby at just over 10 weeks pregnant. In this raw and honest conversation, Ayla shares what that loss was really like — physically, emotionally, and spiritually — including the guilt, fear, and complicated emotions she carried around the pregnancy itself.

She reflects on how Tulum became the space they needed to grieve, honor their little angel, reconnect as a couple, and intentionally decide how they want to move forward together.

But this episode isn’t just about grief.
It’s about growth, alignment, and consciously designing your next chapter.

Ayla also pulls back the curtain on the exact relationship-planning framework she and Lucas use to stay aligned — including their weekly and monthly relationship meetings, financial check-ins, lifestyle planning, and their powerful 2-2-2 Rule for long-term connection.

From there, she bridges into a practical, no-fluff goal-setting exercise she recently shared with her mastermind students — teaching you how to turn aesthetic vision boards into real, tangible goals with action steps that actually move your life and business forward.

This episode is for you if:
• You’re navigating grief, heartbreak, or a major life transition• You feel disconnected from your goals or unclear about your next chapter• You want to build a life and business that feels aligned, intentional, and expansive• You’re ready to stop manifesting in theory and start executing in reality

Halloween might be over, but fear is still haunting your business.

In this powerful episode, Ayla breaks down how to overcome the biggest fears keeping female entrepreneurs stuck — fear of launching, fear of showing up, fear of being judged, and fear of failure.

You can’t build an unshakeable or unforgettable business if the foundation is cracked — and that foundation is belief.

Ayla dives into the three pillars every entrepreneur must master to release fear and rise into unstoppable success:
✨ Belief in your people — stop assuming your audience isn’t ready or can’t afford it. Your words shape your results.
🔥 Belief in your business — stop obsessing over vanity metrics. Energy and conviction create momentum, not followers.
💫 Belief in yourself — stop shrinking. Let go of perfection, comparison, and fear. You are enough, and your story is your superpower.

It’s time to let go of fear, drama, and projection — and move fast, take aligned action, and rewrite the narrative.

If you’re ready to become the woman people can’t stop watching — the one who leads, sells, and inspires with confidence — this episode is your permission slip.

🧠 Key Takeaways:

• Fear doesn’t mean you’re doing something wrong — it means you’re expanding.

• Your business mirrors your energy. Believe in it, and it will believe in you.

• Stop speaking to your audience’s limitations and start speaking to their potential.

• You are the differentiator. Your story, energy, and belief are your greatest marketing tools.

  The fastest way to crush fear? Take fast, aligned action — even when it’s scary.

This week, Ayla takes you behind the scenes of a full-circle, pinch-me weekend in Vancouver — the city that built her… and almost broke her.

She’s opening up about what it felt like to return five years later — not as the overworked corporate girl grinding 12-hour days and juggling five side hustles — but as a 7-figure CEO, mentor, and leader, hosting a VIP weekend with her private client and her dream team (who just happen to be women she once worked with in corporate).

This episode is real, emotional, and deeply reflective — a reminder of what can happen when you don’t give up on your dreams.

Ayla shares the behind-the-scenes lessons, the full-circle moments, and the gratitude that hit her hardest during this trip — and how it reminded her that everything you pour in always comes back.

If you’ve ever felt like success is taking too long, like the hustle is never-ending, or like you’re meant for something bigger but can’t quite see it yet — this one will hit home.

💡 In this episode, Ayla shares:

• The emotional story of returning to Vancouver — the city that built (and nearly broke) her

• What it was like to meet her private client + team for a 2-day VIP experience

• How corporate burnout shaped her resilience and leadership today

• The three biggest lessons she learned from this full-circle moment

• Why gratitude is the gateway to your next level

• And a powerful message for anyone building their dream right now

Have you ever held yourself back from posting, launching, or sharing your story because of fear? Fear of judgment. Fear of failure. Fear of showing too much.

Here’s the truth: being human is the thing that’s going to set you apart. Humanist = likeness.

When you’re real, raw, and unapologetically YOU—that’s when your dream clients lean in. That’s when your content connects. That’s when people see themselves in your story and decide you’re the one they want to work with.

In this episode of The Next Level Social Podcast, I’m breaking down:

✨ Why being human and authentic creates the kind of “viral” content that attracts—not repels—your dream clients

✨ The story of one of my mastermind clients who launched her podcast (after years of waiting) and blew past 200 downloads on day one by finally sharing her truth

✨ Another client who went off-script, filmed a raw car rant, and had one of her best-performing reels ever—proof that connection > perfection

✨ The key to mixing humanity with authority so you stay relatable AND positioned as a leader

✨ Why you need to know everything about your dream clients, so your authentic content lands with the right audience instead of pushing them away

✨ Real examples of how messaging can accidentally repel your ideal clients (and how to fix it)

Today’s episode is extra special, because it’s my birthday! I just turned 36, and I wanted to take you behind the curtain of my 35th year — the lessons, the breakthroughs, the challenges, the love, and the growth that changed me.

This past year stretched me in ways I didn’t expect, both personally and professionally. From leaning deeper into my feminine energy, to wrapping my first 12-month mastermind, to navigating love, divorce, lawyers, boundaries, and blending a family — it’s been a year of transformation.

Inside this episode, I share the biggest takeaways from 35 that I’m carrying into my 36th year, and how YOU can apply them in your own business and life.

• How I leaned into my feminine energy to create more flow, ease, and success

• Why slowing down and being present with my bonus family changed everything

• The power of no longer settling for what doesn’t serve you

• Why focusing internally — clients, relationships, team — creates more growth than chasing “more”

• The lessons (and realities) of leading a 12-month mastermind and holding long-term authority

• The importance of having a good lawyer in both business and life

• Boundaries, letting go, and embracing that life and business are not linear

• The shift from scarcity to sustainable recurring revenue models

• Proof that true love exists — even if it shows up in the most unexpected way

• Why success does not require burnout, and how to run business through feminine, flowy energy
