Q4 is HERE. This is your wake-up call to stop coasting and start cashing in. This not the time to just stuff our faces with halloween candy and sit back. We need to be stuffing our faces with halloween candy and cashing checks.

These next 90 days can make or break your year as a content creator, influencer, or UGC travel creator. Today, I’m breaking down exactly how to squeeze every last dollar out of 2025 while setting yourself up to make more money online in 2026 — without the hustle culture burnout.

In this episode, I walk you through my exact Q4 strategy — the one I’d use if I were starting over today as a travel creator:

• Reignite those old brand collaborations. I’ll show you how to turn one-time deals into repeat partnerships — and why “no” isn’t really a no in Q4.
• Audit those unpaid invoices and finally collect that cash. You did the work — now get the reward.
• Stop waiting for January 1st to start fresh. I’ll share my mindset shift on why New Year goals are overrated and how to start implementing your 2026 strategy now.
• From client onboarding to pricing packages and payment setup — this is your chance to clean up the backend so you can scale smoothly into the new year.
• I’ll walk you through my week-by-week roadmap to finish the year strong and build momentum for your next big income leap as a content creator.

Everyone loves your content… but no one’s buying? Yep, you’re trapped in the bestie zone.

Today we are digging into the real strategies behind standing out online and growing your content into a business. Today I’m joined (again!) by one of your all-time favorite guests, the queen of messaging herself — Lucy from My Write Hand Woman.

Lucy is a messaging strategist and copywriter who helps creators stop sounding like everyone else and start standing out with stories, personality, and messaging that sells. And in this episode? She’s here to call us all out.

We dive into:

• How to know if you’re stuck in the “business bestie zone” (aka your content is fun but not converting).
• Why being relatable isn’t enough to grow your content or land travel creator brand deals.
• The importance of adding dissonance and a point of view in your sales copy and messaging.
• Why 2025 is actually the easiest time to get attention online (hint: the bar is low).
• The balance between behind-the-scenes content and strong storytelling that connects to your offers.
• What the Nike Super Bowl “So Win” campaign can teach us about brand messaging.
• Why you don’t need to wait until everything is perfect before launching something new.

Lucy is a breath of fresh air, giving us the reminder that content creation doesn’t have to be formulaic or over-polished. Sometimes, it’s the messy, human stories that move your business forward.
