    564: STOP SWEETENING WHAT'S NOT WORKING
    Apr 1 2026
    I'm talking about the black coffee rule and the quiet clarity that comes when I stop sweetening things that aren't actually working in my business. I'm sharing what this looks like in real time, from handling misaligned comments to protecting my energy, and why tolerating what's bitter keeps me stuck. This is your reminder, and mine, that I don't have to make everything drinkable. I can set it down, walk away, and move forward with more focus and less noise.

    563: STOP GUESSING WHAT TO POST
    Mar 25 2026
    I'm sharing how I'm using content mining to stop guessing what to create and start listening to what people are actually asking. I walk through how pulling real questions from comments, DMs, search bars, and even other creators helps me find gaps, spot patterns, and use my audience's own words. This approach removes pressure to be trendy, builds empathy, and turns unfiltered language into relevant content that connects and positions you as the go-to resource.

    562: YOU DON'T NEED MORE CONTENT, YOU NEED BETTER DATA
    Mar 18 2026
    In this episode, I'm breaking down the exact Instagram metrics I track at the 30-day mark so I can stop throwing content at the wall and start making decisions that actually lead to comments, follows, and sales. I'm sharing what I look at, why it matters, and how I use that data to create more of what's already working – without adding more to my plate.

    561: MANYCHAT: HELPFUL OR SPAMMY?
    Mar 11 2026
    In this episode, Taylor shares her honest thoughts about Instagram automation and why tools like ManyChat aren't the spammy shortcut some creators fear. Instead, she explains how automation can become necessary infrastructure for solo business owners – helping you manage growth, protect your capacity, and still build real relationships with your audience without trying to do everything manually.

    560: FROM FOLLOWER TO BUYER IN 7 TOUCHPOINTS
    Mar 4 2026
    In this episode, I dive into the real data behind my first course sales and unpack what I'm calling micro moments of trust. By tracking the interactions people had with my content, I discovered it took about seven touchpoints – ads, profile visits, automated DMs, stories, and more – before a complete stranger decided to buy. It's a behind-the-scenes look at how trust builds online and why strategic touchpoints matter more than being everywhere. RESOURCES MENTIONED NOTE: Some links below contain affiliate/referral links.

    558: 153 FOLLOWERS IN A YEAR. 121 FOLLOWERS IN A DAY. WHAT CHANGED? (MY 17 DAY INSTAGRAM EXPERIMENT)
    Feb 18 2026
    Instagram wasn't broken – it was misaligned. In this episode, I unpack what actually shifted: deleting 1,700 followers, committing to four intentional posts a day, leveraging trial reels, and using Manychat to turn views into movement. This isn't hype or hacks. It's a real-time breakdown of how clarity, consistency, and one focused goal – one sale a day – started compounding fast.

    In this episode, I share the Instagram system that finally broke my plateau – one daily reel, two trial reels, and simple ManyChat automations that turn new followers into real conversations. This isn't about hacks or hype. It's about building traction on purpose, nurturing people automatically, and creating momentum that actually feels sustainable.
