21:48

If you’ve ever been told, “I don’t care what you’re selling—I want it,” this episode is for you. You already know how to move people. Now let’s talk about turning that natural spark into superfans who buy everything you launch. Because you’re the person people can’t help but remember. Clients don’t just love one of your offers—they love you . That’s every personal brand’s dream. But once they’re obsessed, how do you make sure your core message resonates just as deeply as your personality? Today, I’m speaking directly to the “activators”—the ones whose presence alone lights people up. You already have the natural brand voice that hooks people in, but now it’s time to refine it so your audience isn’t just obsessed with you, they’re obsessed with buying from you. Inside this episode, I’ll cover: How to turn your natural magnetism into sales copy that sells without draining your energy. The difference between being remembered and being bought from—and how to bridge that gap. Why clarity in your messaging strategy is the key to scaling your impact and income. My step-by-step “homework” to get your brand voice aligned with your offers so your audience can’t wait to say yes. Want to become the unicorn in your industry?

Who else is tired of getting friend-zoned in business? People see your brand, they love your vibe, they eat up your content—but they’re not hiring you. They feel seen, but not moved . They’re not fully confident that your brand is the one that can solve their problem or deliver the transformation they’re craving. They think you’re fun, relatable, even inspiring… but that missing piece—the sales piece, the activation piece—is what’s keeping them from actually investing in you. So what are we going to do about it? Today, I’m breaking down exactly how to move your audience from “I adore you” to “I just bought from you.” Because let’s be real—you didn’t build your brand just to collect compliments. You built it to grow, to scale your business, and to position yourself as the only one who can solve your dream client’s problem. We’ll cover: The 3 biggest mistakes keeping you stuck in the Bestie Zone Why being too relatable in your messaging actually blocks brand growth How to shift from friendly to activating with clarity and confidence Tangible strategies to position your brand as irresistible (without losing your warmth or personality) If you’ve been wondering why people engage with your content but don’t buy, this episode is your wake-up call. Because here’s the truth: branding is more than a pretty vibe—it’s about messaging that moves people. And when you nail your positioning, you won’t just have fans… you’ll have paying clients who can’t wait to work with you. Ready to stop being “everyone’s bestie” and start being the brand they buy from ? → Tune in now and let’s get you out of the Bestie Zone for good. Want to become the unicorn in your industry?

26: Copy or Content? How to know which one your business actually needs 20:00

29 days ago20:00

20:00

Today I’m excited to dig into this episode with you guys, because I think there are so many misconceptions about what a content writer is versus what a copywriter is. And by not knowing the difference between the two, you could be hiring the wrong person—or worse, misdiagnosing what’s really going on in your marketing. When something’s not converting, when your content feels flat, when the algorithm seems to hate you, or when your sales page is weak, having the right vocabulary helps you pinpoint the problem. And once you can name it, you can actually fix it with intention and strategy. So, that’s exactly what we’re covering today. Today we will learn: The real difference between copywriting and content writing (and how to spot it instantly) How brand messaging is the foundation for both content and sales copy Why shortcuts with content are forgivable, but shortcuts with copy can tank your sales Where tools like ChatGPT and VAs can help—and where they definitely can’t How good sales copy literally sells for you in your sleep By the end, you’ll know exactly how to hire the right words for the right job, and why investing in strong brand strategy and messaging makes your business unforgettable.

I was roasted in a room full of 80 people for using the word "cracked open" to describe the result of my highest-ticket offer. Today, we're diving into a little story time, because something happened to me at a conference that was kind of horrifying in the moment—but it ended up teaching me a beautiful lesson about messaging that I had to pass on to you. We’re talking: Why “empowered” is the beige of branding The one question that’ll reveal if your sales copy has conviction What to do when people don’t get your message How to know if your words are creating magnetic, unforgettable brand vibes The true power behind bold branding and brave articulation This isn’t just about words. It’s about the energetics of messaging, and how conviction—not cliches—is what creates a brand people can’t stop talking about. So if you’ve ever doubted your word choice, your voice, or your message—this one’s your permission slip to get weird and own it. Want to become the unicorn in your industry?
