#51: Take the Fear Out of Selling in Your Emails with Copy Coach Monica Badiu
Hello my beautiful friends! In this week's episode I have the joy of sharing with you one of the most inspiring and interesting conversations I've ever had about email marketing. Monica is an email marketing expert and copy coach - but she looks at it differently than anyone else. She has such a strong (and simple) foundation behind how to sell in emails in a way that can feel natural to you and valuable to the audience. She also speaks about the importance of emailing often and the welcome sequence and how to word things like discounts and flash sales without sounding salesly, or the same as everyone else. If you have an email list or want to start one, this interview is the one to listen too! Also, Monica generously shared with us her free gift, 93 Email Subject Lines for Your Next Promo, use the link below to download it.

#40: Your Mind Only Believes What You Say- Self-Love, Business & Mindset with Jane Kilian

#40: Your Mind Only Believes What You Say- Self-Love, Business & Mindset with Jane Kilian
Episode #40: Your Mind Only Believes What You Say- Self-Love, Business & Mindset with Jane Kilian Whoop whoop this is episode 40! And I'm so excited for our guest today, and the raw, open and truly mindset-shifting conversation I've had with Jane Kilian, creator of the Self Love Club. Jane has been a personal trainer for 14 years and has heard every pain point of every woman she has ever trained. She realized they all had something in common, not loving themselves. So she realized she needed to create change from the INside out and not the other way around. Unselfishly Me, her self love brand, was born in 2018 and has been doing just that. Her signature 8 week e-course was where it all started and grew to self love retreats, podcast, workshops and The Self Love Club, a monthly self love content and community. Her new favourite focus is on teaching beginner yoga. In a world where yoga can seem intimidating going to a class, she breaks it down and teaches you from the mat up. Literally how to stand on your mat, to downward dog to flowing through a sun salutation. Her passion is helping you figure out your Aha moment and rewrite your story, for your happiest and most authentic YOU. I loved talking to Jane today about her business journey, how she had to tap into her own passions and realise she had something special to help women not only with weight loss but also their mindset and self-image. In this interview, I also share my raw story of my own weight gain and weight loss and weight gain and how today, although at my heaviest weight, I'm in the best mental space I've ever been with self-love and just breaking down any negative ideas set on me and how I'm navigating that.   This is a different topic than we usually have on the podcast, and I couldn't love it more. I think you will find Jane's perspectives and teachings as empowering as I did. Resources from Jane: FREE Meditation challenge hereJane's shop hereConnect with Jane on Instagram at @unselfishlyme

#34 Freebies or Free Content - What's More Important?
In this episode we talk free content, sharing value on Instagram TikTok, Youtube, podcasts like these, blogs, collabs, paid ads AND/OR creating strategic freebies behind an opt-in which grows your email list. If you've been trying to split your time and figure out whether putting out more freebies, or no freebies, or putting out more content on socials is the right move, this episode is for you. Let's take the overwhelm out, look at it from the outside in and make some powerful decisions that work for each and one of our businesses. Truly, in a marketing funnel, both have a place. When you listen to this episode, I hope you can grab your fav drink and imagine we are having a biz besties chat. I'll share with you my thoughts and experiences on how both freebies and free content serve your business. And, as always, I assume you want the simpler way, the faster way, the less overwhelming way. That's why we'll chat about impact and how you can decide what's best for your business. If you want to see how I use freebies with mini-funnels to find my people, grow my email list and make more sales, check out my Free Guide. The Paid Ads Mini Funnel is a BTS look at one of my exact mini-funnels with a low-cost paid ad, strategic freebie, and a lot of intention to find my people.
