It's time for you to RESET your Reels, Queen!

Let’s talk about something real—why just showing up on social media isn’t enough anymore.

We’ve all seen the shift happening. Audiences are craving more than just pretty content and big claims—they want real, raw, authentic connections. And that starts with storytelling.

In this episode, I’m breaking down:

✨ Why vulnerability is your secret weapon in content creation

🎥 How video marketing transformed my business (and can do the same for you)

📣 The one thing you must do in 2025 to stand out online

💡 Why throwing numbers around without context doesn’t build trust anymore

If you’ve ever felt like your content is blending in, this episode is for you. Let’s shake things up and build a brand that actually connects with people.

I want to hear from you. What’s one piece of content you shared that felt vulnerable but made an impact? DM me or drop a comment—I’d love to chat.

The truth about Storytelling that no one talks about

Storytelling. It’s everywhere. But let’s be real—do we actually know what it really means?

It’s become this go-to buzzword, but I’ve noticed that so many people throw it around without actually understanding how to use it to grow their business. Because let’s be honest—great stories aren’t just about engagement. They should lead to action.

In this episode, I’m breaking down:

🎭 The real reason storytelling is so powerful in content marketing

🎥 How to create videos that don’t just get likes but actually convert

❌ Why most storytelling content falls flat (and how to fix it)

💡 The secret to addressing objections through storytelling so clients feel ready to buy

And here’s the thing—storytelling isn’t about you. It’s about your audience. When done right, it builds emotional connection, removes hesitations, and seamlessly leads them to take action.

If you want to stop creating content that just entertains and start using storytelling as a conversion tool, this episode is a must-listen. 🎧

PART 2: The Hardest Goodbye

Saying goodbye is never easy — especially when it's something you poured your heart into.

In this episode I take you through the final chapter of my business, Full & Filled.

I open up about the challenges with quality control, the frustrations of supplier relationships, and the pressure of delivering a product that didn’t meet my standards. It wasn’t just about the business—it was about my identity, my dreams, and the expectations I felt I had to live up to.

Let’s talk about the things we don’t always see—the struggles, the setbacks, and the courage it takes to move forward.

Inside this episode:

✔️ The expensive lessons I learned while scaling

✔️ The mistakes I didn’t even realize I was making at the time

✔️ The passion, excitement, and energy that kept me pushing forward

✔️ And the exact moment where things started to shift…

But here’s the thing—I didn’t see it coming. And part two is where it all unravels.

Ever wondered why some reels get thousands of views but zero sales? I used to pull my hair out over this exact problem! In today's episode, I'm spilling all my secrets about what actually works in video marketing - and it's probably not what you think.

Remember when everyone said "keep your reels under 7 seconds"? Well, I'm here to shake things up and tell you why that advice might be holding you back. I'll introduce you to something I call the 'Q-Spot' - the sweet spot for reel length that's helped my clients triple their engagement and actually convert viewers into customers.

Here's what I'm sharing today:

• The real reason your short reels aren't bringing in sales

• Why watch time beats views every single time

• My proven 40-50 second formula that keeps viewers hooked

• How to create reels that make people feel something (and why that matters)

• The exact method I use to tell stories that sell

Look, I get it - putting yourself out there on video is scary. But after helping hundreds of business owners master their reel game, I know exactly what makes people stop scrolling and start buying.

I'm breaking down the simple tweaks that turned my awkward first reels into content that consistently brings in clients. Plus, I'll show you how to build genuine connections with your audience without spending hours on content creation.

Keep watching your Instagram feed - I'll be sharing some behind-the-scenes tips from this episode throughout the week!

Life as a business owner isn't always what it seems on Instagram, is it? In today's episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on what it truly means to find your sweet spot in business - and let me tell you, my path hasn't been a straight line!

I'm opening up about the messy (but beautiful) journey of discovering my zone of genius, including all the times I thought I had it figured out... only to realise I needed to switch things up again. And you know what? That's perfectly okay!

Through my own story of trial and error, I'll share how stepping into video marketing transformed not just my business, but my whole approach to showing up online. This evolution led me to create 'Queen of the Screen,' my new program that will help other business owners shine confidently on camera.

Whether you're just starting out or feeling stuck in your current business model, this episode will show you that it's never too late to pivot towards what lights you up. Remember, the most successful business owners aren't afraid to evolve - they count on it.

In this episode of She Got Lucky podcast, I chat with the incredible Ally Kennedy, who opens up about her powerful journey from corporate success to finding her true calling in entrepreneurship. Ally’s story is full of real, raw moments that many of us can relate to—experiencing loss, navigating identity, and figuring out how to show up authentically in the business world.

She’s not afraid to talk about the mindset shifts that have shaped her journey, the importance of community, and why she views sales not as a burden but as a way of serving others.

Key Topics:

• Ally’s personal story of shifting from corporate life to entrepreneurship

• The impact of personal loss on career and identity

• How authenticity is essential in business

• Using speaking as a tool for influence and sales

In this episode, we’re getting real about Instagram Reels. I’m sharing how you can use Reels as so much more than just a visibility tool—it’s time to think bigger! Reels can transform your entire video marketing game, and I’ll walk you through exactly how to engage your audience, build trust, and yes, even drive sales for your business.

What you’ll take away:

• Reels are more than just for visibility—they’re a powerful marketing tool.

• Engaging your audience with your voice builds deeper trust.

• Consistency is key—Reels done regularly can lead to major growth.

• Reels can have more impact than static posts or carousels.

• It’s all about how you want your audience to feel after watching.
