Want to get your Email Marketing fix?

M had over 100k Instagram followers and was barely selling anything. Her offer was good. Her content was good. Her audience loved her. She had built something real over years of showing up consistently, and the people who did buy from her were obsessed. But her launches? Her launches were bombing every single time. When I got inside her funnel, it took me all of 4.3 minutes to figure out what was wrong. Her Instagram following was enormous. Her email list was tiny. Everyone who loved her was…

You have a lead magnet. You have an email list. You even send the occasional newsletter. So you have an email funnel, right? Not necessarily. This is the most common misconception I see when I get inside a client’s email backend. They have the pieces. They do not have the system. And there is a […]

Raise your hand if you’ve been personally victimized by the passive income girlies. (takes a long sip of coffee) Yeah. Me too. Kind of. Let me explain. Hot take: passive income isn’t real. And anyone who told you otherwise was probably selling you a $27 PDF. Now, before you @ me. I don’t think anyone is out here twirling their villain moustache trying to scam you. I really don’t. What I think is happening is a lot of oversimplifying. A lot of showing you the front door without showing you the…

I had a reverse identity crisis I didn’t wake up one day and not recognize myself. I had the other kind of identity crisis. The kind where you’ve known exactly who you are for a long time and you’ve been quietly negotiating her down to something smaller, safer, and easier to swallow. I’ve been doing that for a while. A few years ago, a well-known name in this industry outed me to 15,000 email subscribers for asking them about their politics before I’d hire them. I lost business friends over…

Dawson’s Creek was a teenage awakening for me I don’t mean “Oh, I liked that show.” I mean, I felt it. Those characters were some of the first people I ever had a parasocial relationship with before I even knew that term existed. I watched them fall in love, get heartbroken, have big feelings on docks and in bedrooms and in classrooms, and it shaped something in me. It was the first time I remember thinking, this is what longing feels like. This is what love is supposed to feel like. This is…

Me, during your next launch… Or all up in your evergreen business… Funnel friend, I need to tell you where WTFunnel?!? actually came from. It wasn’t a master plan.It wasn’t a big strategy brainstorm.It definitely wasn’t me sitting down thinking, “Yes, this will be my next scalable offer.” It came from Morgan. I had built a couple of her launches. Full done-for-you. Strategy, copy, all of it. And they worked. She made money. It was solid. But then she said something that stopped me in my…

If you’re still building alone… let’s talk about that. Funnel friend, Let’s have a heart-to-heart, just like we’re sitting on your couch with coffee (or wine, let’s be honest) and you’re explaining again why you’re trying to do all of this by yourself. Here’s what I hear in that explanation (and I’m going to say it with love): You don’t need help yet… you just want control.You don’t deserve help yet… you just haven’t justified it to yourself.You don’t need more support… you just keep Googling…

What changes when you’re not building alone Funnel friend, There’s a version of business growth people talk about loudly. Metrics. Milestones. Strategy shifts. Big moves. And then there’s the quieter part that almost never gets named. The part where someone is simply not alone while they build. I’ve seen this up close more times than I can count, and it never looks dramatic from the outside. There’s no big reveal moment. No overnight transformation. What changes is subtler than that, and way…

Funnel friend, There’s a stage of business that sneaks up on you. It’s the post-DIY, pre-hand-it-all-over stage.The one where you’ve proven you can build something real…but you feel like maybe you’ve hit a plateau. Nothing is technically “broken.”But nothing feels easy anymore, either. Early on, hustle does most of the heavy lifting.You try things. You learn fast. You move. But once your business is more complex, hustle stops being the lever. A second brain becomes the lever. Because this is…

The Year of Slow Exposure Last year, my word of the year was ‘Ease’. And I don’t mean ‘ease’ in a Pinterest-y, bubble bath, “romanticize your life” kind of way. I mean ‘ease’ as a filter. A rule. A boundary I desperately needed. Every decision ran through the same question. What’s the easiest choice? What apartment should we live in in Playa?What school should our son go to?Do we do the extracurricular or not?Where do we eat tonight?What shoes am I wearing today? Not what’s the best…
