    531: CLARITY ISN'T A FINISH LINE - IT'S A COMPASS
    Aug 13 2025
    Clarity isn’t a one-time win—it’s a moving target. In this episode, I’m sharing why I scrapped a finished funnel, what I built instead, and how real clarity often comes from what you won’t do. If you’ve been second-guessing your next step or stuck in misalignment, this one’s for you. RESOURCES MENTIONED NOTE: Some links below contain affiliate/referral links.

    Struggling to make your Instagram bio actually do something for your brand? In this episode, I’m walking you through the real-time updates I made to mine—what wasn’t working, what finally clicked, and the strategy I’m leaning on to connect with the right people. We’re talking bio formulas, content pillars, and why this tiny space might be holding back your visibility more than you realize.

    Jul 23 2025
    Feeling the summer slump? You’re not alone. In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on what my farm stand has taught me about marketing over the past six weeks—no funnels, no formulas, just real-life strategy that started with a couple of Facebook Marketplace listings and turned into repeat customers, word-of-mouth magic, and a three-figure week. From why relevance beats volume to the power of a good photo and what it means to truly connect with your people, I’m walking you through 12 business truths that snuck up on me while I was just trying to sell some cucumbers. If you’re craving clarity without the overwhelm, this one’s for you. RESOURCES MENTIONED NOTE: Some links below contain affiliate/referral links.

    This week, I’m sharing a real-time glimpse into what it looks like when something clicks — when your business starts to connect in a way you can feel. The farm stand is only a few weeks old, but the response? Immediate. Loyal. Deep. It’s reminding me of something I’ve always believed but hadn’t felt this strongly in a while: the best brands don’t sell — they make you want to join the club. I’m talking through how that’s unfolding, what it means for how we show up in business, and why availability, curiosity, and collaboration might just be the secret sauce. Plus a quick look at what’s blooming (and stalling) in the garden, how I’m navigating platform shifts, and a quote that hit me square in the gut. If you’re in the in-between — in your garden, your content, or your offers — this one’s for you. RESOURCES MENTIONED NOTE: Some links below contain affiliate/referral links.

    526: STORY DRIVEN CONTENT - MY NEXT INSTAGRAM EXPERIMENT
    Jul 9 2025
    Instagram hasn’t exactly been pulling its weight lately—and after months of watching the needle barely move, I’m making a shift. In this episode, I’m walking you through my latest experiment: a story-driven strategy inspired by content creator Sarah Snow. We’re talking bold hooks, visual storytelling, and why one reel a week might be enough to finally see traction. Plus: what’s working (and not) in my garden, a few juicy search bar confessions, and the big reminder that AI can’t fake meaning—but you can tell a story that actually sticks.

    524: RIPPED OFF TWICE: A LESSON IN ORIGINALITY & OWNERSHIP
    Jun 25 2025
    So I wasn’t planning on pulling a business lesson out of my garden this week… but here we are. This episode started as a house update and a chat about summer reading and YouTube stats — and somehow ended with me sitting on the floor of a storage container, feeling completely ripped off by a gardening educator I thought was original. Spoiler: she wasn’t. And I’ve got the 2007 notebook paper to prove it. We’re talking about what happens when people build brands on borrowed ideas — and don’t give credit. The difference between inspiration and appropriation. And how easy it is to miss those lines when quantity starts to outweigh quality. If you’ve ever bought into a membership or method and later felt a little… duped? This one’s for you. Let’s get into it. RESOURCES MENTIONED NOTE: Some links below contain affiliate/referral links.
