  • Why so many women experience the impostor syndrome and how to stop letting it affect you

    If you've ever hit a new goal (or even thought about setting one) and suddenly started doubting whether you're "good enough" or "qualified enough", you're not alone. In this episode, I'm joined by mindset coach and #1 best-selling author Christine Corcoran to chat all things impostor syndrome and how to stop it from running the show.

    Christine's helped hundreds of women in business rewire the way they think, sell and show up — and today she's breaking down why impostor syndrome keeps coming back even as you grow (and why that's actually a good thing).

    We're diving into:

    • How impostor syndrome actually protects you, and why it's time to stop fearing it

    • Why high-achieving women feel it the most

    • Practical ways to shift your mindset and show up even when you're doubting yourself

    • The power of using fear as a growth tool

    • Why your inner critic is not the truth (and what to do instead)

    We also chat about Christine's #1 best-selling book Turn Impostor Syndrome Into Your Superpower — a must-read if you're ready to stop second-guessing and start owning your brilliance.

    Whether you're just getting started or you've been in business for years, this one will give you the mindset refresh you didn't know you needed.

  • The 4 Big Changes Coming to Meta Ads in 2025

    Big changes are coming to Meta Ads, and if you're running Facebook or Instagram campaigns, you need to know what's happening!

    In this episode of Master Your Marketing, we break down four major updates that could impact how you run ads on Meta's platforms:

    • No more choosing between Manual and Advantage+ campaigns – Meta is defaulting all campaigns to Advantage+, but does that mean you lose control?
    • Advantage+ Shopping is now Advantage+ Sales – What does this name change really mean, and how does it affect eCommerce and service-based businesses?
    • You can still turn Advantage+ "off" with customisations – Learn how to tweak your campaigns to maintain control where it matters most.
    • Opportunity Score is back! – Meta is reintroducing this feature to help advertisers optimise campaigns more efficiently.

    What do these changes mean for your ad strategy? We dive deep into how these updates could impact performance, campaign customisation, and overall ad effectiveness.

    Don't miss this crucial episode! Tune in now to stay ahead of the curve and make sure your Meta Ads strategy is ready for 2025.

    Life, Business & Becoming a Mum – My Journey Over the Past 15 Months

    Welcome back to the podcast! After a bit of a break, I'm so excited to jump back into recording and connecting with you all. In this episode, I'm getting personal and sharing a big update: what life has looked like since I became a mum, how I navigated the challenges of solo parenting during a deployment, and the highs and lows of juggling motherhood and running a business.

    From sleepless nights to finding balance, I reflect on the past 15 months, including:

    • How I prepared my business for maternity leave.
    • The surprising challenges of working while becoming a Mum.
    • The tough decision to pause my membership program in 2024.
    • Embracing self-care rituals and leaning on support systems to get through.

    I also share what's ahead for 2025! From new daycare routines (hello, 2 days of focus time!) to exciting shifts in the business, including more work in Meta ads and supporting VAs, OBMs, and course creators—there's a lot to look forward to this year.

    Thank you for being part of this journey, and for your ongoing support. I'd love to hear what you'd like to see more of on the podcast this year—send me your thoughts or let me know if you'd like to be a guest!

  • 52: How UGC and CGC are building trust with consumers in the digital age with Maddie Ragno

    Are you tired of paying influences for content, and then it completely flops, they don't deliver on what they committed to or forget to share on your launch date?

    I am joined by owner/Director of MADE Creative Co, Maddie is a fiercely passionate thought-leader that is aiming to disrupt the digital marketing industry one UGC video at a time.

    The creative marketing agency founder noticed a gap in the market for organic style content that provides brands with a solid ROI. She became increasingly aware that popular strategies such as influencer engagement were starting to lose their shine, with results from these campaigns not as strong as they were a few years ago. Many consumers were shifting to more organic style content in their purchase decision-making process – in fact, consumers find it 9.8x more impactful than influencer content when making a purchase decision.

    Key takeaways from this episode:

    • The disappointing reality of working with influencers
    • Showcasing products through UGC
    • Using UGC in paid ad campaigns and organic strategies
    • Using UGC for long-term collaborations
    • Including UGC video on product pages

  • 48: Insights Into Live Launching

    In this episode of Master Your Marketing, I share with you my insights to live launching and how I feel like after 4 years I've finally found what aligns with me and my energy.

    Some people love live launching but for me I find that by the end of it I'm completley exhausted and feel like I need a holiday. This time around I did things a little different and ensured I listened to my body when I needed to rest, took time out for a hair appointment and pre-planned my content leading up to the launch.

    Key Episode Takeaways:

    • Launching with a masterclass
    • Planning out content in advance
    • Making time to prioritise myself and rest
    • Why you should complete a launch debrief
    • Surrounding yourself with a mentor or support duirng launch
