Forbes just wrote about the rise of portfolio careers and it hit close to home. Because women have been quietly building this way for years.

Not because it was trendy but because the workforce was never designed around our actual lives.

In this episode I'm sharing my thoughts on the article, my own story, and the conversations I have constantly with women who are driven and ambitious but completely boxed out by a system that doesn't account for their full life.

We are not opting out. We are building something better.

Instagram dropped a wave of updates in 2026 and most small business owners have no idea what changed or why it matters.

We also talk about the Taylor Frankie Paul of it all,

Trigger warning.

Okay I'll be honest...I wasn't totally sold on Threads at first. But after digging into how the platform actually works as a discovery tool, I get it now. In this episode I'm sharing what changed my mind, how service businesses can use Threads to get found by the right people, and a new monetization move I'm testing with Amazing Affiliates. Let's talk about it.

Instagram is quietly shifting everything toward Reels and if your content strategy hasn't caught up, you're already behind.

In this episode, I sit down with Hayley Imbler, owner of Mystic Snake Nails based in Salt Lake City, Utah, to talk about what it really takes to build a creative business that books.

Hayley's built a loyal following, but not by accident.

She's mastered the balance between showcasing her artistry and connecting with her audience on a deeper level.

We chat about how to attract dream clients instead of just more followers, the biggest mistakes artists make on social media that kill conversions, and how Hayley balances being both an artist and an educator without giving away everything she's built.

If you're a creative who's ready to stop playing the algorithm game and start booking the clients you actually want to work with, this one's for you.

Let's talk about what people actually love about social media. Because despite all the complaints, billions of people show up every day. Understanding why your audience is really there (connection, discovery, education, entertainment) is the key to creating content that actually resonates and drives results.

We're breaking down the good side of social platforms and what it means for your social strategy.

A little over a year ago, I left mailchimp for Stan store email. It was a mistake. Let's talk about it.

If you're a small business owner right now, you've probably asked yourself if you should post about what's happening in the world? Or should you stay quiet and keep posting about my business like nothing's wrong?

You can post. You can pause. You can do both. In this episode, we're reframing political posting as a strategy instead of a risk and giving you permission to choose what actually serves your business and your mental health. Your work still counts, no matter how you show up.

What does an acrobat aerialist know about content creation that most social media managers don't? Turns out — everything.

In this episode, I sit down with Elijah Holt, a performer and content creator who's turned aerial acrobatics into a content goldmine. We dig into how he balances the technical precision of his craft with creating content that hooks people who've never touched a silk in their lives.

But this isn't just about aerial work — it's about why YOUR unique skills, hobbies, and "weird" talents are the competitive advantage you've been overlooking.

We talk about:

How to bring unconventional skills into your content without forcing it

Why being a performer made him a better creator (and vice versa)

The role of play in serious business content

How to differentiate yourself when everyone else is following the same playbook

And why YOU are the secret sauce your content has been missing

If you've ever thought, "My niche skill is too random to work in my content," this episode will change your mind.
