Wish you could delete Instagram tomorrow and still make money? Me too. In this episode, I’m getting brutally honest about what happens when you actually stop posting — and why your business doesn’t have to revolve around the content treadmill to keep growing.

Back in 2023, I went completely off-grid for four months. No posts. No stories. No YouTube videos. No emails. Just… nothing. And yet, people still bought from me. People still found me. Sales still came in. How? Because I had created digital assets that kept working even when I wasn’t.

If social media feels gross, overwhelming, or downright exhausting, this episode will give you the permission slip you’ve been craving — and the practical steps to keep growing without needing to be online 24/7.

In this episode, I share:

✨ What actually kept my business going when I quit social for four months

✨ Why YouTube and blog content still bring me sales long after I publish it

✨ What to do instead of trying to “be everywhere” on socials

✨ How to repurpose content across platforms without burning out

✨ The case for creating a minimalist social presence for credibility (without pressure to post)

✨ How to borrow other people’s audiences and still grow

✨ Tools I use to block distractions and stay off the apps during my workday

✨ The surprising reason you might hate social (and how to make it fun again)

This one is part strategy, part mindset shift, and a whole lot of permission to not do the thing that feels gross.

After 30 days of livestreaming every single day, I’ve got a few things to say about video confidence, consistency, and doing things before you’re ready. I didn’t start this challenge with a plan to beat video anxiety, start a podcast, or build a mountain of repurposable content. But that’s what happened.

In this episode, I’m sharing the messy truth about what it really takes to show up on camera when you're not feeling confident, when the tech fails, and when you’d honestly rather hide under a doona. Spoiler alert: your audience does not care if your lighting is dodgy or you cough mid-sentence. What they care about is that you’re showing up.

I talk through how I prepped content without over-prepping, what gear I actually use (and what you don’t need), and how livestreaming gave me my spark back after a rough start to the year.

There’s also a bunch in here about the power of repurposing and why going live with zero people watching might be the best thing that ever happens to you.

If you’ve ever wanted to make video, livestreams, or any kind of content more consistently but felt stuck, nervous, or like you had to wait until you had it all figured out, this one’s for you.

In this episode:

• Why I committed to 30 days of livestreams (and how I stuck to it)
• How I prep my content using ChatGPT without sounding robotic
• What I’ve learned about video confidence by actually doing it
• The gear I use (including what I didn’t need at all)
• The truth about tech meltdowns, coughing fits, and camera nerves
• How I launched a podcast without planning to
• Why livestreaming with no one watching can still grow your business
• My favourite mindset shifts, rituals, and repurposing tips

Today I’m diving into one of the biggest factors in helping people say yes to your offers: making sure they feel safe and confident when they buy from you.

When you’re selling digital products, people can’t hold them, touch them, or try them on — they’re trusting you and your words. And when the economy feels shaky, people become even more careful about where they put their money. So everything you do to help them feel confident in their decision matters.

In this livestream, I walk you through a stack of things you can layer into your business to build trust and help people feel good about saying yes. You don’t need to do all of them — but you do want to check in and see where you can strengthen things.

Here’s what I cover:

➡ Why a strong, clear refund policy can actually increase sales

➡ How to layer small trust signals across your sales process

➡ Making your offer tangible: walkthrough videos, screenshots, module previews, sneak peeks

➡ How to handle objections upfront (and why your FAQ is really an objections list)

➡ Being honest about who your program is and isn’t for

➡ Why showing your face, vibe, and values makes people trust you more

➡ Using social proof: testimonials, real-time sales notifications, customer numbers

➡ Why clarity on pricing, currency, and payment details matters

➡ Keeping your checkout page consistent and well-branded

➡ Adding a live chat option (I use Chatra) or offering optional sales calls for extra reassurance

➡ Doing “unscalable” things that build trust (and why they matter more than you think)

This is all about helping people feel safe and confident in their decision — not pressured or tricked. I share plenty of examples from my own experience (including things I’ve learned the hard way) and lots of practical ideas you can use right now.

Today, we’re diving even deeper into the world of memberships on Kajabi.

In Part 1, I walked you through all the big-picture things to consider before jumping into a membership. But today we’re getting into the how.

It’s pretty tricky to explain visual setups purely over audio, so if you want to see how to actually build this out, make sure you check out the click-by-click video walkthrough where I show you exactly how to set up offers, products, memberships, and tiers inside Kajabi. You can find the video tutorial on YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RyNlt_sj7FQ or at theunicornadvisory.com/this.

In this episode, I still walk you through the strategy behind the setup, including:

✅ Why Kajabi doesn’t have a “membership product” and what you’re really using

✅ How some million-dollar memberships keep things super simple

✅ What to include in your member hub or dashboard

✅ How to set up offers properly (and why you must understand the difference between a subscription and a payment plan)

✅ How to play with membership tiers, like “basic” versus “VIP,” and when to use them

I even give you the structure of a pretend membership — the Wanderers Community for digital nomads — including things like:

🌍 A monthly workshop

🌍 A live Q&A

🌍 A private community

🌍 An optional paid newsletter

This episode is jam-packed, but when you’re ready to see the actual behind-the-scenes setup, head over to the video walkthrough for the full tutorial.

👉 And if you’re not yet on Kajabi but you’re Kajabi-curious, you can grab their special creator plan deal (available until May 23) at theunicornadvisory.com/kajabi.

In this episode, I’m sharing what I’ve learned from five years of running my own membership, helping hundreds of Kajabi creators start theirs, and working with multi-million dollar membership clients.

If you’ve been thinking about adding a membership to your business, this will help you weigh up the pros and cons, understand the key decisions to make, and avoid some common traps.

✅ Why recurring revenue is valuable but why it’s not the same as passive income

✅ How to decide the role your membership plays in your business (main offer, entry point, or support container)

✅ The different membership models you can choose from to suit your audience, pricing, and delivery style

✅ Important pricing considerations, including why low-ticket needs big volume and high-ticket works differently

✅ How retention, churn, and member experience shape the long-term success of your membership

✅ What I’d do differently if I were starting over, based on everything I’ve learned

If I could pick a superpower, I’d take away the kind of fear that holds you back from doing the brilliant, bold things you’re meant for. Fear doesn’t come from logic. It comes from emotion. And it’s one of the biggest reasons I see people hesitate, stall, or shrink back from their dreams.

In this episode, I share stories from my own journey. Yes, even with years of business experience, fear still pops up. I walk you through how fear shows up, why it sneaks in even when you think you’ve outgrown it, and what you can actually do to move past it.

Whether you are scared to start, scared to raise your prices, scared of launching something new, or even scared of what success might bring, this one is for you.

You are not alone in this. But you are stronger than you think.

💥 Why fear comes from your emotional brain, not your logical brain

💥 The sneaky fear of success (and how it holds you back)

💥 How fear of criticism and visibility can quietly sabotage you

💥 Why your immediate “I can’t do that” reaction is predictable and worth noticing

💥 Overstuffing offers from imposter syndrome (and why it backfires)

💥 The danger of comparison and how it stalls your progress

💥 Micro bravery, baby steps, and why you only grow by doing

💥 How to push your own limits in ways that build strength and confidence

In this episode, I’m diving into why building a thriving Kajabi community is one of the smartest (and most valuable) moves you can make as a digital product creator.

We’re talking about why communities are exploding right now, why Facebook groups just aren’t cutting it anymore, and what actually makes a community work (spoiler: it’s not just throwing people together and hoping they chat).

I’ll share why I think community is one of the few things AI can’t replicate, how Kajabi’s community tools have levelled up big time, and how you can set up your own Kajabi community — including a click-by-click walkthrough that takes you from scratch to launch.

→ What’s changed inside Kajabi’s community features (and why I love it)
