There’s a new trend popping up on social media where people are sharing the real struggles they face in life and in business. Even after nine years of business, there are things I still struggle with, and today I want to let you in on what some of them are. These are things that deeply bother me, things I talk to my therapist about, and that hold me back from doing what I really want to accomplish.

Faceless marketing is developing its own niche and I’ve recently started exploring what would happen if I utilized faceless marketing to appeal to a wider audience. I think this gives people an opportunity to show up online without having to worry about what they look like while still making marketing personal. This is for those of you who want to sell a digital product, not necessarily for someone looking to build a local-based business.
People are leveraging this trend, specifically on Instagram, to build a brand without showing their faces and with the use of stock imaging. I feel like this trend is just a natural continuation of things like faceless blogs for example. People can utilize stock and place a focus on their words without worrying about what they look like. And it really does work if it’s done correctly! Faceless marketing still keeps the human element without associating an identity therefore making it more relatable.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
Why Faceless Marketing Works (and Has Always Worked)
The Number One Thing That Builds a Brand Long-Term
The Best Way to Utilize Faceless Marketing

Today I’m going to take you behind the scenes and share what it was like to shoot a TV show for a major streaming network. For now, I’m not allowed to tell you anything about the show so bear with me while I try to share my experiences in a somewhat cryptic manner!
I was approached as someone who built a business and asked to appear on the TV show. All I had seen was a sizzle reel for the show and I basically went in blind. I really think that this is going to have a good impact. Starting out, I had no idea what this experience was going to be like– but I said yes anyway!
Key topics from this episode:
Shoot dates changing at the last moment
Styling myself and finding a last-minute makeup artist
Dealing with self-doubt and imposter syndrome
My free day in Los Angeles
What this means for the second half of my career

It’s difficult to believe that I have been in business for nine whole years! For those unfamiliar with the story, nine years ago, in March, I was laid off from a startup — I had only been working there for three months. This startup had recruited me for a position I had held for years at a financial firm, where I worked as a graphic designer in strategic marketing. Then, three months later, the entire marketing department was axed in one fell swoop, leaving me with 30 days' notice. What I didn't know at the time was that they were attempting to avoid paying me unemployment.
So there I was, paid to occupy space at my desk while I ostensibly hunted for new work. Instead, I seized those 30 days, predominantly throughout March of 2015, to kick-start my own business. Jump forward in time – it’s nine years later – and I am still loving this wild ride! I’ve learned a LOT over the past nine years, and today I get into key lessons I’d like to share with you. Join me today for a trip down memory lane and a breakdown of 9 critically important lessons I’ve learned from 9 years in business!

Every business needs visibility in order to drive new people to discover who you are, earn their trust, and start them down a sales pipeline. If you’re always in nurture mode, then you will run out of leads to nurture because your business will shrink.

There are unspoken expectations thrust upon every area of your life. People complain about how others choose to show up, respond, or not respond to what’s happening in the world. There is so much anger about the state of our world and our economy, what people are saying or not saying, and even how you might choose to run your business.
I get it! These are important things to have thoughts and feelings about. But what would it look like to show up in alignment with your truth? At the end of the day, it’s about you, the weight that you carry from these societal expectations, and how that bleeds into your business and career.

Today, I dig into how I would start a business with zero existing audience. First of all, I have to admit that I’ve never met anyone who actually has no audience. Everyone has up to 1,000 connections that they can leverage from day one. Whether you believe it or not, you already have an audience and it’s your job to leverage existing connections to build momentum for the life and the business you want. Ultimately, the number of people in your audience and the number of followers you have has little to no influence on how much revenue you can generate.
Getting visible isn’t just about growing an audience. It’s about growing a community of real relationships. Emphasizing growing my community rather than chasing the numbers has been empowering, and today I’m sharing that experience.

Danielle Bayard Jackson joins us to discuss how being a high-achieving woman impacts our platonic relationships and the art and science of conflict versus connection. Danielle has dedicated the last six years of her career to studying the latest research about the science of these kinds of platonic female relationships.
There’s a massive blurring of lines between colleagues, friends from work, and friends outside of work; especially for high-achieving women who spend most of their time at work and therefore, naturally meet most of their friends in the workplace. So much of your identity rests in achievements and while that is praised by many people, often it’s detrimental to friendships. Many of you don’t know who you are outside of your professional goals and achievements and it’s imperative to figure out what more you have to offer in order to build meaningful friendships.
We’re chatting about:
Having Different Friends for Different Purposes
Making a Change to Your Friendships and Where Conflict Fits in

Today I’m sharing the marketing strategy behind how I made $ 287,000 and had over 10,000 people pay to join my email list from a digital product I created just once.
Many entrepreneurs only focus on nurture marketing, taking warm leads and trying to convert them into a signature offer. But that can quickly turn into a situation that has you saying “I need more leads!”
But brand new businesses as well as established businesses need a visibility plan in order to retain customers and keep growing their businesses. And this shouldn’t involve feeling stressed or working over your capacity. The goal of this kind of marketing is to get to know more people, allow them into your world, and earn their trust. That’s how to find your ideal clients and customers! Social media marketing and creating digital products are some of the best ways to do this in 2024.
I’m here to help you grow your business in a way that allows you to still have a life. Tune into today’s podcast to learn more!
