Golden Nuggets & Taking my own advice

This week, I'm sharing the piece of advice I gave my six-week intensive students… and realized I needed to take myself. The best mini course ideas don't come from guessing or overcomplicating—they come straight from the questions your audience is already asking you. In this episode, you'll hear: * How to spot the "golden nuggets" in your DMs and conversations * Why solving a micro problem is more powerful than trying to cover everything * A real-life example of a $27 course that had me ready to buy instantly * How I'm creating three new mini courses in a month using my Team of Bots * Simple ways to increase your funnel's average cart value without overhauling everything If you've been stuck wondering what course to create next, this episode will help you find your answer in the most obvious—and profitable—place.

What if it doesn't work? And an update

In this episode, I'm giving you a real behind-the-scenes look at what's been going on this summer. I've been deep in work—building out new courses, setting up evergreen funnels, and mapping out a YouTube strategy that's not about going viral… but about warming up my existing audience. I talk about the three big areas of my business (I call them my business babies): 👉 My course funnels 👉 My software, Simple Funnels 👉 And my digital magazine, Launch Haus Right now, I'm working hard to free up more mental space by automating things even more—especially for my mid-ticket offers. I'm playing the long game and making moves that'll benefit future me (like, 2026 me). I also share a moment from a recent Team of Bots call where one of the girls asked, "But what if it doesn't work?" And I get it. That fear is real. But I explain how none of us really know the outcome when we start something new. It's just like having a baby—you don't know what you're doing, but you figure it out because you're all in. This episode is for anyone who's putting in the work now and hoping it pays off later. You're not alone. I'm right there with you.

In my Editor-In-Chief Era

The Big Announcement – New Magazine & Team of Bots Launch In this episode, I'm sharing two big things that have been brewing behind the scenes – and honestly, I didn't plan to launch them at the same time, but here we are. 😉 First up: I give you a quick look at Team of Bots, my new program that helps business owners use AI to create their mini course funnel faster (more on that in a future episode when the full version launches in August). For now, we're in beta mode, and I'm gathering feedback to make it even better. Then – the real announcement: I'm launching a digital magazine for women in business who want it all without the burnout or the "girlboss" glam. Think: cozy clothes, real talk, and actionable inspiration. ✨ The first issue of Launch Haus Magazine [https://www.instagram.com/launch.haus.magazine/] drops July 10, and it's packed with features on business, lifestyle, and personal growth – from courses and books to retreats and parenting tips. I talk about: * How the idea came to me (total lightbulb moment 💡) * The mastermind group that sparked it * How I took fast action (signed up for a course, hired a coach, and had a whole plan within two weeks!) * Why you don't need to have it all figured out to start something bold * And how I'm dividing my business into 3 buckets: Simple Funnels (my software), Mini Courses & Coaching, and now – the Magazine This episode is part announcement, part pep talk. If you've been thinking about trying something new, launching a side project, or just getting creative again, I hope this inspires you to just go for it – even if you don't know what you're doing yet. 🎉 Launch Haus Magazine drops July 10 📰 It's totally free to read 📌 I'll link the subscription + Instagram in the show notes!

How to Clean Up Your Business

Hey friends! I'm back from vacation, feeling refreshed (and a little melted from this South Florida heat 😅). In this episode, I'm diving into what I've been working on behind the scenes this summer—including some serious business cleanup and a few new projects that are launching soon (yes, one drops before July 10 👀). Here's what we cover: 💡 Summer slowdown = business cleanup mode Time away showed me just how important it is to have solid systems and automations in place. So I'm taking the time to look at everything—offers, emails, tech, and more. 🧼 3 ways I'm cleaning up my business: 1. Decluttering offers – Making sure everything I sell fits together and serves a clear purpose. I'm organizing my product suite and simplifying my messaging (hint: the Mini Course Funnel is the main star 🌟). 2. Canceling unused tech + subscriptions – Going through my business credit card to cut out what I'm not using anymore. Feels so good. 3. Organizing digital files + email sequences – Cleaning up my Google Drive, fixing links, and streamlining my email funnels. I'm also starting a YouTube channel—not to go viral, but as a free resource library for my clients. Sometimes the best way to grow is to pause, reflect, and clean house. Whether it's summer or another season of quiet, tune in to what your business needs from you right now. For me? It's simplicity, clarity, and making everything flow easier.
