And So...

What if the reason your offer isn’t landing has nothing to do with your content — and everything to do with what you named it? In this episode, I break down a genius move from Taylor Swift that has nothing to do with music and everything to do with strategy — specifically, how she’s using SEO to reclaim the narrative and meet her audience exactly where they’re already searching. And we’re not just watching it happen — we’re applying it. If you’ve ever felt like your sales page is solid but somehow still invisible, or like your freebie isn’t getting traction no matter how many tweaks you make, this one’s for you. We’re talking narrative control, Google searches, and how renaming your offer could be the quiet power move that changes everything.

What happens when you realize you’ve been treated like a task, not a priority—and it finally clicks that you’re allowed to want more? This episode is a behind-the-scenes breakdown of what led me to fire my property management company, reclaim the way I run my property rentals, and reflect on how that same misalignment can quietly show up in our own businesses. If your clients are starting to feel like checkboxes or your follow-through has started to slide, this is your gut check. Because being someone’s priority starts with making yourself one.

Sometimes clarity shows up mid-spiral — and sometimes it shows up at 11pm with ChatGPT open and a course idea you can’t let go of. This week’s business nugget is a behind-the-scenes walkthrough of how I took a single problem (garden pests) and used the Rule of Five Ones to map out a complete digital product funnel. We’re talking: real keyword research, messy naming pivots, and the moment it finally clicked. If you’ve been circling an idea but haven’t found the frame — this one’s for you.

Let’s talk about the Rule of Five Ones — because this might be the clearest business strategy I’ve come across in a long time. One problem. One target market. One offer. One platform. One year. That’s it. And apparently, it’s the method that’s helping everyday creators hit their first million — without a massive audience, without a team, and without 18 different offers flying around. I’m sharing how I stumbled into this strategy (thank you, Maria Wendt rabbit hole), why it lit a fire under me, and how I’m reworking both Boss Girl Creative and House of Sugar Creek to align with this approach. I’ll walk you through my offer suite, what I’m building next, and how I’m using content to actually fuel this — not just fill up time. If your head’s been spinning with too many ideas and not enough traction, this episode is a grounded reset — and a reminder that maybe you don’t need a bigger audience… maybe you just need one really clear offer.

Ten years into business and still sitting with the weight of “why hasn’t it landed yet?” In this episode, I open up about the quiet grief that comes with building something meaningful that still feels invisible online. It’s a real-time reflection on the tension between being great at what you do and still wondering why it hasn’t translated — and a reminder that your work is still worthy, even in the waiting.

This week, I’m coming to you mid-chaos — recording from my warehouse, in a season that’s been anything but calm. If you’ve been quiet lately — whether from grief, burnout, or just life being too much — this episode is for you. It’s a real-time reflection on what it means to show up when you can’t really show up, and a reminder that quiet seasons still count. You’re not behind. You’re human. And your business? It’s still yours, even in the silence. RESOURCES MENTIONED NOTE: Some links below contain affiliate/referral links.

Overwhelmed, stuck, and not sure where to start? Yep, me too. In this episode, I’m talking about analysis paralysis—how it showed up in my literal garden, what it mirrors in business, and why waiting for the “perfect plan” keeps us spinning. If your to-do list feels like a wild, overgrown mess, this one’s for you. Let’s talk about how to move again, even if it’s just one small thing at a time.   RESOURCES MENTIONED NOTE: Some links below contain affiliate/referral links.

Grief doesn’t pause for deadlines — and when you’re a business owner, you don’t always get to either. This week, I’m pulling from personal experience to talk about navigating loss while still holding the weight of a business, why it’s essential to make space for grief, and how to give yourself permission to show up differently when life unravels.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Hey, hey — welcome back to the show. Today is a very special episode, because we’re celebrating 10 years — yep, a full decade — of this podcast. And if you’ve ever wondered what it really takes to show up for something week after week for 525-ish weeks… this is the episode. I’m pulling back the curtain on how it started, what almost made me quit before I even launched, and the one person who’s been with me from episode one: my editor, Zach — aka the podcast man himself. This is the first real-time conversation we’ve ever had in ten years of working together, and it’s packed with reflection, behind-the-scenes chaos, unexpected confessions, and a whole lot of gratitude. So whether you’ve listened since the closet-recording days or you’re brand new here — thank you. Let’s celebrate what it means to stay the course, trust the journey, and keep the mic on anyway.

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.

This week, I’m taking you behind the scenes of one of the most emotionally chaotic, logistically packed, spiritually sobering 48 hours I’ve had in a long time — but what anchored me through it all? A single sentence from a U.S. Olympian on Top Chef, of all places. It stopped me in my tracks and gave me the business pep talk I didn’t know I needed: pressure is a privilege. So in this episode, we’re pulling that thread — what it means, how it shows up, and why it might just be the quiet mindset shift you need if you’ve been feeling the weight of trying to grow something real in the middle of life being… a lot. I’m also catching you up on the chaos (garage door vandals, grief, garden wins, and Jeep purchases), sharing a Hilma product that’s actually working for me, and walking through the real-time shifts I’m making inside my routine and my content rhythm. Because around here? It’s part journal, part business strategy, and part reminder that growth is rarely tidy — but always worth it.

Got hit with a surprise charge and thought, no biggie—I’ll just ask for a refund. What followed? Five emails, a survey, and a whole lot of no thanks. In this episode, I’m breaking down the hoops Rise Guide made me jump through and why that kind of customer service is a brand reputation killer. If you sell anything online, you need to hear this.
