Dying to see real results from your email list? Would you believe me if I told you that sending four emails a week won’t lead to burnout, but instead could increase connection and make you more money?  We’re talking all things email strategy on this episode of Thrive. I’m joined by email marketing expert Allea Grummert, and we’re breaking down how you can make your email strategy fun, manageable, and profitable.  If you’ve been ghosting your email and overthinking every send, this episode is for you.

Imagine this: You post a Reel on Instagram, ask people to comment a keyword like "Guide," and bam — you're buried under a mountain of DMs you now have to respond to manually. Or maybe you’ve gotten fancy and set up a one-step ManyChat automation that fires off a single link… and then crickets. Friend, you're just scratching the surface. ManyChat has the potential to not just save you time, but to explode your engagement, grow your email list, and expand your brand. The catch? You have to go beyond that first link. Your audience deserves a better experience and you deserve to grow without burning out. If you're ready to give ManyChat [https://thrivetogether.blog/manychat] a try, get 30% off with my link!

So… I have a hot take. I kinda hate ChatGPT. And before you come for me—let me explain. In this episode, I’m sharing the (hilarious but painful) story of how I asked ChatGPT to tell me my business blind spots—and instantly regretted it. Spoiler: it dragged me. If you’re building your content business from scratch and wondering why growth feels so dang hard, this might just be the mirror you didn’t know you needed. We’re talking about the subtle ways we hold ourselves back, how easy it is to shelf the uncomfortable stuff, and why facing it head-on (even if it stings) is where the real magic happens. 👉 How to Start a Blog Guide! Https://thrivetogether.blog/start [https://thrivetogether.blog/start] Don't forget!
