In this episode, I share the exact 4-step framework I used to make this $1M+ decision with confidence. You’ll learn how to identify what’s truly driving results versus what’s secretly draining your resources, plus my proven method for deciding when a new opportunity is worth disrupting your current success.

How to leverage FOMO without being sleazy
When it comes to promotions, there’s one word that can either make you cringe… or cash in: FOMO.
In this episode, I’m sharing why FOMO isn’t a dirty word — it’s actually your secret weapon for getting customers off the fence and into action, without sounding pushy, salesy, or desperate.
I’m telling you a story about one of the worst marketing decisions I ever made (spoiler: it involved a dusty TV screen and a golf club), and what it taught me about creating real urgency the right way.
We’re diving deep into how to use urgency and scarcity ethically — with tips you can actually apply today, like:
How to create momentum even if your numbers are small
Why your first and last day emails matter more than anything else
How to leverage SMS and real-time tools to boost last-minute sales
Plus, how one of my accelerator members turned a personal birthday into a brilliant, heart-driven campaign (that her customers loved!)
If you’ve ever struggled with feeling “icky” about selling, or worried you were being annoying by sending that extra email…
This episode is for you.
Let’s reframe FOMO — from pushy to powerful — together.
See you inside,

What were they doing, that I wasn’t?
Do Customers Really Care About Sustainability
According to a 2022 NielsenIQ study, 78% of global consumers say that companies should be environmentally responsible. That sounds amazing, right?
But here’s where things get interesting—if that were really the case, why are businesses like Shein and Temu thriving?
Clearly, something isn’t adding up.
And when the amount of sales that Temu turned over was in the double digit BILLIONS, then, you have to ask yourself…
