If your go-to strategies aren’t landing like they used to, there’s a reason why. In this episode, I’m sharing three major trends I’ve been noticing in my business, with my clients, and across the digital space. These shifts could explain why things feel harder right now, and I’ll walk you through how to respond in ways that feel aligned and effective. We’ll talk about why perfectly polished content is falling flat and how being more human and relatable can actually drive better results. I also break down the growing need for more customer touch points before a sale happens, and why that’s not necessarily a bad thing. And finally, I share why simplicity is the new secret weapon in your offers and marketing—and how I’m applying that in my own work. If you’re ready to adapt and thrive, this episode will help you do just that! 01:28 - Trend 1: Authentic (and often messy), human-sounding content is converting better 04:29 - Trend 2: People need more touch points to convert 06:11 - Trend 3: People want simplicity over complex strategies 08:26 - 3 action steps to help you implement these trends this week Links & Resources: * Interested in Homepage Express?

It might be missing the one thing that truly sets you apart: your story! In this episode, I’m joined by marketing expert, Mary Czarnecki, to explore how storytelling isn’t just fluff - it’s one of the most strategic tools you can use to connect with your audience and drive real results. Mary breaks down how to uncover the everyday moments that resonate, why personal stories can outperform polished business ones, and how to use storytelling across your entire marketing funnel. She shares practical tips for weaving stories into everything from Instagram captions to sales pages, without overthinking it. From the power of a childhood memory to a lesson learned on the lacrosse field, we cover how emotional connections fuels conversions, and why you already have everything you need to tell stories that sell. This conversation can truly change the way you approach your content.

Sound familiar? In this episode, I’m diving into one of the biggest myths I see in the online business space: that a polished, pretty website is the key to more conversions. If you’ve been tempted to tweak your colors and fonts (again) instead of digging into the real issues, it’s time to rethink your website conversion strategy. I’m sharing the top mistake I see digital product creators make on their homepage, why design alone won’t drive sales, and what actually turns browsers into buyers. Think of it this way: a stunning boutique without a checkout counter won’t sell a thing…and neither will a website without a strategy! Don’t worry, I’m not against good design. I want your website to look amazing—but only after your strategy is in place. If you’re ready to create a website that actually converts, this episode will give you the clarity you need.
