Thrive Blogger Podcast

Feeling stuck on Instagram despite all your effort? This episode kicks off our summer series on audience growth—and we're starting with the platform we love to hate: Instagram. Over the next seven weeks, I'm walking you through platform-specific strategies to grow your audience, and today is all about building an Instagram presence that actually leads to results—without burning out. I break down the difference between just showing up and showing up strategically, and share the exact 90-day framework we teach inside Boldfluence to get creators unstuck and growing again. You don't need another “just be consistent” tip. You need a roadmap. Boldfluence gives you the full 90-day plan, a community to support you, and the tools to actually grow your platform with purpose. Let's build your audience—and your income—together.

Spoiler alert: the tool isn't the strategy. If you've been hopping from app to app hoping the next one will unlock your success, this episode is your wake-up call. Today we're ditching the tech obsession and getting real about what actually moves the needle. From breaking the cycle of tool-chasing to zoning in on what matters most, we're talking about the clarity, consistency, and alignment that turn side hustles into full-blown creative businesses.

Are you consistent but still not seeing growth? You're not alone. Every creator has been there. You're posting regularly, checking off your to-dos, doing everything "right," and yet, the needle barely moves. It's frustrating and exhausting. Here's the truth: consistency is not a strategy. Listen in as I break down why doing more isn't the answer and what actually moves the needle when you feel stuck.

This episode is brought to you by a seven-day tension headache—and the powerful business lesson it gave me. After nearly a year of investing in my health, strength, and consistency, I hit a wall. What started as a migraine, turned into a wake-up call. In this episode, I share the messy, honest story of what happens when we ignore the signals our bodies (and business) give us, and how easily this business we love can push us past our limits. Listen in as I share what it really means to run a sustainable business as a creator, how to create long-term plans that work, and why your creativity can't survive on scraps of leftover time and energy.

Plus I'm sharing what I'll do differently next time!   Resources Mentioned Boldfluence Shift

Sick of overpriced courses and influencer advice with zero real-world results? Same here. In this episode, I'm pulling back the curtain to share exactly why coaching is the most powerful growth tool in your business and why I'm qualified as your coach for brand growth.

Want to know the secret to creating 6-figure blogs? It's all about your mindset. In this episode, Spark Media Concepts founders Amy Reinecke and Jennifer Draper join me to share how you can break through mindset hurdles that are holding back your success.

Tired of getting brand offers that don't pay? Let's change that! In this episode, I'm breaking down exactly how to respond to brand emails—especially when they're offering “exposure” or product instead of cash. These situations come up all the time, and knowing how to reply with clarity and confidence is key to turning freebies into paid gigs.

Feeling stuck, tired, or just… off? It might not be burnout—it might be strategy fog. In this episode, I'm breaking down the difference between true burnout and a lack of clarity, aka strategy fog. Knowing the difference can unlock a whole new level of productivity and joy in your business. As creators, we often confuse exhaustion with failure, but sometimes we're just unclear about where we're going. I walk you through five simple questions to assess your current clarity level and share real examples from my coaching clients who were spinning their wheels—until they got strategic. DM me on Instagram with “burnout” or “strategy fog” to chat more!

What I learned from one Instagram Reel completely changed how I approach content.

You're not imagining it—yes, we're talking about fall… in May. This week, I'm getting real about why content creators need to look way ahead—even when it still feels like summer hasn't started. The truth is, if we want to crush Q4 and show up strong for the holiday season, the groundwork happens now.

Dying to see real results from your email list? Would you believe me if I told you that sending four emails a week won't lead to burnout, but instead could increase connection and make you more money?  We're talking all things email strategy on this episode of Thrive. I'm joined by email marketing expert Allea Grummert, and we're breaking down how you can make your email strategy fun, manageable, and profitable.  If you've been ghosting your email and overthinking every send, this episode is for you.

You're posting, you're creating, you're hustling... but is anyone actually seeing your amazing content? (Spoiler: not nearly enough people.) In today's episode, we're flipping the script on "post and pray" strategies with something way more fun—and way more effective—the Viral Visibility Game! It's time to stop relying on the algorithm and start delivering your content yourself—with a whole lot more fun.

Imagine this: You post a Reel on Instagram, ask people to comment a keyword like "Guide," and bam — you're buried under a mountain of DMs you now have to respond to manually. Or maybe you've gotten fancy and set up a one-step ManyChat automation that fires off a single link… and then crickets. Friend, you're just scratching the surface. ManyChat has the potential to not just save you time, but to explode your engagement, grow your email list, and expand your brand. The catch? You have to go beyond that first link. Your audience deserves a better experience and you deserve to grow without burning out. If you're ready to give ManyChat a try, get 30% off with my link!

So… I have a hot take. I kinda hate ChatGPT. And before you come for me—let me explain. In this episode, I'm sharing the (hilarious but painful) story of how I asked ChatGPT to tell me my business blind spots—and instantly regretted it. Spoiler: it dragged me. If you're building your content business from scratch and wondering why growth feels so dang hard, this might just be the mirror you didn't know you needed. We're talking about the subtle ways we hold ourselves back, how easy it is to shelf the uncomfortable stuff, and why facing it head-on (even if it stings) is where the real magic happens.
