I’m back from yet another plot twist in my career, and today I’m calling out a habit I’m finally breaking: people pleasing. I spent years being who everyone needed: straight-A student, restaurant good girl, realtor with zero boundaries. And when I stopped doing that, some folks got real uncomfortable. Cute.

I’ve been deep in Mastery by Robert Greene, and it hit me that I’ve been in the apprentice phase forever.....learning, studying, being coached, waiting for permission. Not anymore. I’m in my do it my way era.

With AI making information free and everywhere, the only thing that’s actually rare now is your lived experience, your opinions, your spin. That’s the part robots can’t steal. So if you’re feeling the pull to stop copying and start creating, same. Consider this your nudge.

If this made you think of someone who needs to stop being a professional people-pleaser, send it to her. And leave a review if you want to make my day.

Something has shifted.

I didn’t expect to be talking about this this soon. I certainly didn’t expect the experiment to work. And I definitely didn’t expect what happened next.

But here we are.

This episode isn’t about AI as a trend or a tool.

It’s about what’s coming for content, for personal brand, and for how we connect online.

And it’s about what happens when showing up becomes optional. I’ll tell you the story, how it unfolded, and what it’s revealing. Not to convince you of anything. Just to make sure you’re awake for what’s ahead.

In this episode, Blaklee dives deeper into what’s actually working in the AI era. From choosing the right platforms to building community and credibility through content that feels human. She breaks down how algorithms, video dominance, and the rise of the “entrepreneurial journalist” are changing the game, plus how to future-proof your brand with strategy, excellence, and connection.

AI can replicate almost anything.....but there’s one thing it will never replace.

In this episode, Blaklee uncovers a massive shift happening in how we build trust, community, and connection online. What does “post-social” really mean? Why are top creators rethinking how they show up? And how can your humanity become your ultimate superpower in business?

You’ll have to listen to find out.

In this episode, Blaklee unpacks one of the most overlooked secrets in marketing: why speaking to one person is the fastest way to attract everyone you want. She shares a story from a $75,000 mastermind where a storytelling expert helped her realize that specificity doesn’t alienate, it invites.

You’ll learn how to use detailed storytelling (like the lavender latte example) to create instant emotional resonance with your audience, even if their details are different. Blaklee explains how this level of clarity simplifies your entire content strategy, helps you attract high-caliber clients, and keeps you from running in circles wondering what to post.

Consistency used to be enough, but not anymore.

In this episode, Blaklee unpacks why so much marketing feels loud, fast, and forgettable, and how to shift from repelling to attracting through clarity, calm, and emotional safety.

You’ll learn:

– Why “trying harder” isn’t working anymore

– The science of why confused brains scroll away

– How to speak in a way that makes people lean in instead of tune out

This episode is a must-listen if you want your message to feel safe, not salesy, and finally start connecting on a human level.

In this episode, Blaklee unpacks the power of the Reputation Bank: why influence isn’t about being loud but about storing proof. She shares how testimonials, reviews, and small daily deposits of credibility let your content work for you even while you’re offline. If you’re ready to win more influence with less convincing, this episode will shift the way you think about marketing and trust.

Most people think success is about consistency. Just keep showing up, right?

Wrong. Consistency without refinement is just repetition.

In this episode, I’ll share:

🌱 Why Thomas Edison’s real genius wasn’t the lightbulb—it was his lab.

🌱 How redwood trees grow taller than skyscrapers with surprisingly shallow roots.

🌱 The hidden reason accountability makes you unstoppable in marketing (and life).

By the end, you’ll see why growing alone keeps you unstable—and how connection, iteration, and support are the true secrets to growth.

And if you’re ready to put this into action, I’ll tell you how to join my Win the Listing Challenge at the end.

You’ve been told: “Just be yourself on social, people will like you, and business will come.”

Here’s the problem → being liked isn’t a skill, it’s not a strategy, and it’s not why people hire you.

I learned this the hard way. My old strategy was “just show up, be funny, and get clients.” And it worked… until it didn’t.

The truth: People don’t hire you because they like you. They hire you because they trust you to solve their problem.

Being liked is surface-level. Being trusted is what moves money, clients, and business forward.

I’ll give you 4 mindset shifts that will help you move from likes → clients, from popularity → authority.

By the end, you’ll never look at a “like” the same way again.
