The Bubbles Effect episodes

  • Bubbles & Biz: Marketing + Mindset Monday

    This week on Bubbles & Biz: Marketing + Mindset Monday, I'm diving into two big topics that every entrepreneur should care about: smart PR moves and deep mindset work 🧠

    First up, we look at how Ryan Reynolds’ ad agency, Maximum Effort, teamed up with Gwyneth Paltrow to help a brand turn a viral mishap into a clever PR opportunity 🚀

    Then, we shift gears to explore the power of subconscious programming and I share a little of my personal journey of uncovering and rewiring deep-seated beliefs, explaining why true transformation goes beyond surface-level affirmations and into the operating system of your mind. ✨

    If you’ve been working on your mindset but still feel “stuck,” this episode is for you 🫶

  • Bubbles & Biz with Annie Franceschi

    It's Friday, y'all! Grab a glass and let's chat 🥂

    What if leaving your dream job was actually the first step toward your dream life?

    In this episode of Bubbles & Biz, I sit down with Annie Franceschi, former Disney storyteller turned brand strategist, author, and host of the Establish Yourself podcast.

    Annie shares the powerful story of how walking away from the “perfect” job led her to create a business that helps over 400 entrepreneurs find clarity, confidence, and connection through branding and storytelling.

    We chat about the difference between a dream job and a dream life, why so many of us struggle to describe what we do (and how to fix that!), and how to actually get more referrals by owning your message and following up with ease. 🤌

    Annie also drops her favorite time-saving tools and mindset shifts that can help you grow a fulfilling business and enjoy your life. ❤️

    If you’re ready to embrace your story, simplify your message, and market with more ease and authenticity, this one’s for you!
