Today's a “Best Of” episode—and you know I absolutely love these shows. Nothing makes me happier than pulling together the best bits, the moments that resonate, and the wisdom that sticks with us long after we hear it. Now that I've done many solo shows, it felt like the perfect time to round up the greatest hits. I'm calling this one: From Stuck to Steady, From Tired to Energized, and From Blah to Bold. Because, let's be honest, feeling good isn't just about those fleeting moments of happiness. It's about sustaining it.

We're talking about how to build your optimism muscle so you're grounded even when life throws curveballs. We're unpacking why sleep—yes, good old-fashioned rest—is your secret superpower (and how to get more of it). And, of course, I'm sharing simple ways to create a life that feels good.

Hey hey, Product Bosses! In this week's coaching session, I sit down with Ashley Terrell, founder of the children's pajama brand Saints & Ivy, who's navigating the early stages of her product launch. Like many of you, Ashley launched a beautiful product with heart and purpose—but found herself stuck when sales didn't follow. She came to me with questions like: “Why isn't anyone buying?” and “What should I post on social media?”Together, we uncover that this isn't a product or price problem—it's an awareness problem. So many small businesses struggle with this exact hurdle. Ashley and I work through a visibility strategy, starting with defining her ideal customer and then using the ABCs of content (Attract, Bond, Convert) to build a rhythm for her brand on social media. It's not about posting more, it's about posting with purpose.Ashley's mission to bring culturally inclusive, representation-rich pajamas to the market is powerful—and what she needed most was for people to see it. In this episode, I help her connect the dots between product, brand voice, and customer identity. If you're building a business rooted in heart and impact, this episode will give you the roadmap to get visible, build connection, and ultimately boost sales.Resources:Learn more about Ashley's line of sleepwear here.Follow Saints and Ivy on Instagram by clicking here.Don't miss my brand new “From Stuck to Sold” workshop!
