Today I am talking to the WONDERFUL Ruby Peacock, one of my fabulous students and I'm so proud to call her my friend. You are gonna fall in love with her!! Ruby is an ex-spaceNK educator, turned bridal artist, turned educator. Her thing? She helps people find their signature artistry style and has created an absolutely 10/10 course called Face Facts, teaching artists how to do makeup on hooded eyes, mature eyes, prominent eyes and deep set eyes (with skin/base coming soon I'm sure!). She basically created the course to teach the skills every makeup artist needs, but is not necessarily taught. We talk about doom scrolling, imposter syndrome and how to work with it, and the BTS behind building a course! We talk about the educator space and how we are trying to fit into it. Honestly, what didn't we talk about. Prepare to fall in love with the incredible Ruby Peacock!Follow Ruby here on her educational accountCheck out her FABULOUS website here and courses.

Today guys, please welcome the amazing Alicia from Golden Hoop Creative. Alicia is a branding expert, but as you will soon tell from this episode, she is SO much more than that. She helps women entrepreneurs unlock their authenticity, and helps business owners with their branding, beyond the logo. Today that is exactly what we talk about, what branding entails, beyond the visual elements like colours, elements and fonts. We look into personality tests such as Myers Briggs and Brand Achetypes and how this can help you feel more in alignment with your business. This for me was a really eye opening episode, as you guys know if you listen to the private pod, this was a real struggle for me last year when I felt so unaligned with my own business and myself as a business owner. Alicia helped me today understand that branding is so much more and I hope you love hearing about how important it is to be in tune with your business. You're gonna love her, she also has the most soothing voice I've ever heard. Please welcome, the wonderful Alicia from Golden Hoop Creative!

We are talking about one of my most favourite topics to talk about today and funnily enough that is SEO!! One of the pivotal things that I did very very early on in my business was I invested a lot of my time into learning about how to reach those top pages of Google. I managed to spend over 10 years at the top pages of Google and today I'm spilling the tea on exactly how I did that with five of my best tips that will elevate your status and page ranking on Google. We also have a little segment on Instagram because as we all know Instagram has now become a giant search engine in itself. Reaching those top pages of Google was pivotal in my career because it enabled me to book celebrity clients, book top billboards and commercials, and of course become insanely more visible to my ideal client brides. If you're not getting any bookings, I guarantee it's because you're not visible enough and this episode it's gonna show you how to rectify that.

Welcome back to the Mini Mentorship and boy... isn't it going fast! I really enjoyed recording this one for you guys, as I dissect my feelings around selling, what my selling journey has looked like and we can get over our selling ickkk. If you struggle to show up, to talk about your service and promote yourself, you're gonna find this one insanely valuable. I also touch on social media (it's a double week this week!) and how I improved my relationship with Instagram.
