Seasons change — in life, in business, and in the garden. And learning to work with them (not against them) is everything.

In this episode, Gretchen Acheson shares how she juggles homeschooling four kids, running a farm, serving clients online, and still making space for joy. We talk about flexibility, faith, websites, and why it’s okay to pivot when a season shifts.

Abby Lawson started blogging in 2013 for a creative outlet and accidentally discovered affiliate income, then digital products. We unpack the post that sparked real revenue, the pay-what-you-want ebook that launched her product path, why she pivoted to organizing, and the tiny systems that keep her business calm and profitable. Plus, the $7 guide that still sells and what she’s trying next.

What does it really take to build a business that’s profitable and joyful?

In this episode, I’m joined by KariAnne Wood of Thistlewood Farms — blogger, author, and queen of creative income. KariAnne shares how she turned her home blog into a media brand with 28 income streams, how she keeps her business fun (yes, still), and why she’s doubling down on personal brand and storytelling in a changing industry.

We talk about what’s working now, what totally flopped (hi, TikTok), and how she structures her workdays for clarity andjoy.

If you're craving ideas, encouragement, and a few good laughs — you're gonna love this one.

In this recap, I’m pulling out the gold from my interview with Dr. Destini Copp. From starting one-to-one, to building rinse-and-repeat systems, to batching like a boss, and creating simple low-ticket offers — these are the nuggets you’ll want to scribble down. Plus, why your email list should be the very first thing you build if you’re starting (or starting over).

She left a cushy university job. Built multiple memberships. And runs them now without burning out — or answering questions 24/7.

In this episode, Dr. Destini Copp breaks down how she’s using rinse-and-repeat systems, monthly live workshops, and AI-powered support to grow two brands that actually fit her life.

We talk about:

• Why done-for-you services didn’t work for her
• How she sets boundaries with no community platform
• What’s actually working in 2025 (hint: not evergreen funnels)
• Simple ways she’s using AI to support her members

If you’ve been thinking about starting a membership — or streamlining the one you already have — you’ll want to hear this.

What if the secret to growth wasn’t doing more… but doing less — on purpose?

In this recap of my conversation with Brit Rhea, I’m pulling out the 7 key lessons that stuck with me — from creating simple offers that actually sell to setting up systems and boundaries that give you your time (and sanity) back.

We’re talking:
• Why your season of life matters
• How to know when something’s feedback, not failure
• Why personal brands beat faceless trends every time
• And why ads aren’t magic — but they can work

If you’ve been feeling stretched thin or stuck in the spaghetti-throwing phase… this one’s for you.

🎧 Listen in and let me know which takeaway hit home.

Britt Rhea went from shipping accessories out of her bedroom to running a six-figure low-ticket sales funnel — and it all started with TikTok Shop.

In this conversation, Britt shares how she made the leap from physical products to digital offers, why low-ticket funnels work so well, and the simple systems that keep her business running while she’s raising her baby.

If you’ve been wondering how to build a low-ticket sales funnel that’s profitable and sustainable, this episode is packed with ideas you can use right away.

You don’t have to know everything to build a business that works.

In this episode, I’m sharing the 5 biggest lessons from my latest interview — and how they apply to you right now:

• Start with the skills and experience you already have
• Focus your energy on what’s getting results
• Share your real stories (because they matter more than you think)
• Stay consistent, even when life gets busy
• Treat your online business like a real business

If you’ve been stuck spinning your wheels or chasing too many ideas, this is your permission to simplify and get serious about what’s already working.
