What would your summer look like if peace, ease, and cash flow could just exist together? This summer, I’m breaking up with the idea that success requires intensity and redefining what’s truly productive! I used to believe that the more I worked, the more successful I would be. But I know that I want to work less. Those things are in direct competition with each other!

What if you didn’t need to work harder for the next level? What if less effort actually created more results, space, creativity, and more cash flow? I have spent so many summers working in my office and feeling jealous of the people who were outside. I always felt obligated to be ‘in the trenches’ because I convinced myself that more work equals more success. And that is so wrong! This summer, I am rewriting those rules and testing what happens when I work less, focus more, and trust that space might be the missing piece between where I am and where I want to be.

There’s so much pressure online to stay relevant, to constantly provide value, to always be on. But what happens when you don’t want to perform anymore, when peace starts to feel more urgent than praise? I’m learning how to show up as myself, without the mask, without the metrics, without pretending to be someone I’m not. I’m not hiding, I’m in transition! And I know I’m not the only one feeling this way.

I believe in building a business that fits you, not one that’s been handed down like a rulebook written by someone else. If you’ve built any kind of online business in the past few years, you’ve probably been told, directly or indirectly, that visibility equals value. But lately, I’ve been asking: What if I don’t follow those rules? Who made them up in the first place? This episode is for the version of you that’s tired. The one that keeps wanting to slow down but feels like you’re supposed to keep up. I know you still want success, but on your own terms. So let’s talk about it!

I don’t know a single person in their 30s and 40s who doesn’t want deeper and more meaningful friendships. The last place I expected to get friendship advice was from Mel Robbins’ new book, The Let Them Theory. Today, I want to share the unexpected ways this book shifted how I think about making, retaining, and even releasing friendships, especially in the complicated season of adulthood that is your 30s and 40s.

There is an entire section in this book that talks about adult friendships. So, what is the ‘let them theory’ in relation to relationships? It’s all about relinquishing control instead of chasing, convincing, or over-managing relationships. It’s not about being cold or cutting people off, it’s about allowing people to be who they are without letting that affect your worth.

Your audience isn’t addicted to your content. They’re addicted to dopamine. And if your marketing isn't delivering those micro hits of satisfaction, they're scrolling right past it. In this episode, I'm unpacking how I'm rethinking everything in content, from what I post to how I write. Not to teach better, but to create content that feels better to consume, because that's what people are responding to right now.

Whether it’s overcoming boredom, finding entertainment, or feeling a sense of belonging, social media is all about emotional satisfaction. It’s time to adapt to these shifts and create content that resonates on a deeper, emotional level.

I believe storytelling is one of the most powerful tools you have as a marketer. In a recent podcast, I talked about pulling out the kinds of stories that you can use again and again. I want to teach you to write narratives that you can come back to and use in a bunch of different situations.

These are the stories that are going to help build your brand and make you memorable. We’re talking about creating trust and building an emotional connection with you and your business. This is how you build relationships without having a one-on-one conversation. It’s all about building a foundation: introducing yourself to a colder audience and reminding your warmer audience how you tick.

AI is everywhere. It’s an undeniably powerful tool, it’s evolving fast, and it’s not going away. But even with all that momentum, there are still some things it can’t do and some things you should absolutely let it handle for you.

It also provokes a lot of different reactions. For some, fear is the first response. Others feel overwhelmed or confused. Maybe you’re just tired of the noise! All anyone has talked about for the last two years has been AI, and honestly? I get it. Every one of those reactions is valid.

But here’s what I want to do today: point out what makes you unique, your story, your lived experience, your creative spark, and show you how you can work with AI, not against it. Because it’s critically important that business owners learn how to use it, otherwise you're going to be left in the dust. My goal is for you to walk away feeling empowered and clear on how to use AI to save time, spark ideas, and support your business without ever losing what makes your voice special!
