  • The Messaging Mistake That’s Costing You Clients in 2025
    Jun 3 2025

    Send Jackie A Message!

    Is your messaging actually connecting—or are you unintentionally getting scrolled past?

    In this episode of The Studio CEO, Jackie Murphy breaks down the biggest shift in marketing from 2020 to 2025—and why relying on generic phrases like “reduce stress” or “get strong” no longer works.

    You’ll learn:

    • The difference between descriptive and belief-based messaging
    • How consumer behavior has changed (with real 2025 data to back it up)
    • What buyers want now when they look at your offer
    • How to update your message so it fits your client’s life, time, and needs
    • Why belief—not just benefits—is what sells now
    • The #1 shift that makes your offer feel like the only real option

    Jackie also shares a real client example that turned a tired headline into one that doubled conversions—and she invites you to a free workshop where she’ll walk you through a live messaging upgrade for your own business.

    This episode is for you if:

    • You’re getting clicks but not conversions
    • Your sign-ups have slowed even though your offer is solid
    • You’re still using the same messaging you wrote in 2020
    • You want to stand out in a crowded wellness market

    🎧 Tune in and walk away with the tools to finally sound as powerful as the transformation you provide.

  • Listener Q&A: How I Plan My Week, Prioritize What Matters, Pivot in Marketing & Build Rich Relationships
    May 27 2025

    Send Jackie A Message!

    In this special Q2 listener Q&A episode, I’m diving into four smart, real-world questions submitted by you—from weekly calendar design to building rich referral networks.

    You’ll hear how I plan my weeks for maximum momentum, what I coach my clients through when they’re stuck choosing between 12 “important” projects, how to know if it’s time to stick or pivot your marketing strategy, and how to connect with pelvic health professionals in a way that builds trust and reputation over time.

    This is one of those episodes that blends strategy and mindset, visibility and relationships, and the kind of advice you can apply this week—no downloads, no drama, just clarity.

    In this episode, we cover:

    • How I batch my calendar based on energy, not task
    • My 5-day rhythm for studio CEOs and why it works
    • How to prioritize important work using the Eisenhower Matrix
    • The biggest marketing mistake I see (and how to fix it fast)
    • When to stick with a strategy vs when to pivot
    • How to build Rich Relationships that lead to real, lasting referrals
    • One simple weekly practice that grows your business without burning you out


    Doing more doesn’t mean you’re moving forward—it just means you’re tired. Let’s fix that.
