the holiday season has you dreaming of more blog income with less hustle, you're not alone. Q4 is the busiest (and most profitable) time of year for content creators—but it can also be the most overwhelming. In this week's episode of the podcast, I'm walking you through three smart, simple ways you can start making passive income from your blog right now—so you can spend more time with your family and less time stressing about sales. https://creativesonfirepodcast.com/episode212 Each strategy is set-it-and-forget-it, designed to help your blog work for you while you sip hot cocoa and watch Christmas movies. 1. Update and Republish Your Seasonal Blog Posts with Affiliate Links If you already have holiday blog posts on your site, this is the easiest passive win. Here's what to do: Head to your WordPress dashboard and search for posts that include “2024” or are clearly seasonal. Update or add affiliate links where it makes sense (Amazon, LTK, Walmart, etc.). Refresh your intro paragraph and schedule the post to republish this season. Pin the post now so it has time to gain traction on Pinterest. And don't worry—this doesn't have to be a huge job. Just focus on your top 5 to 10 seasonal performers. If you notice a strong traffic post that doesn't yet have affiliate links, now is the perfect time to add them. Want to take it further? Create a new holiday gift guide and publish it now. It can be niche-specific like “Gifts for Teen Girls” or broader like “My Favorite Amazon Finds for the Holidays.” Then remember: pin it now so it's already circulating when people start searching in October and November. 2. Add a Low-Ticket Digital Product to Your Blog Digital products are one of the most underrated sources of passive blog income. Start simple: Create a printable checklist, holiday planner, cookie cookbook, or gift tag bundle. Upload it to Flodesk (or your email platform) and set up a simple opt-in and thank-you page with payment. No fancy funnel needed. Just a link to the product and automatic delivery upon purchase. Design a basic promo graphic and pin it now so it has time to gain reach before the holidays hit full swing. You could start with one seasonal product—or create several (one for fall, one for Black Friday, and one for Christmas). Just keep it simple, useful, and focused on solving a seasonal problem your audience has. 3. Increase Blog Traffic to Boost Ad Revenue Sometimes the most passive money-maker of all is right under your nose—your ad revenue. If you're with an ad network like Mediavine, Raptive, Journey, SHE Media, or Ezoic, then Q4 is when RPMs are at their highest. That means more money per pageview. Here's how to maximize that traffic: Make a list of your top-performing holiday posts. Save the direct links in your Notes app so they're easy to access on the go. Share those posts regularly across your social media (especially in Stories and Facebook). Create new pins or fresh Facebook captions for each post to drive traffic in different ways. Bonus Tip: Use tools like Facebook Fuel to simplify this process. Inside Facebook Fuel, I provide ready-made Amazon collages and high-converting product roundup graphics that can be uploaded to your blog sidebar or embedded within posts to increase both traffic and affiliate conversions. Your Weekly Action Plan To make this totally doable, break the steps into weeks: Week 1: Update and pin your best seasonal posts with fresh affiliate links. Week 2: Create one low-ticket digital product and pin it with a simple promo image. Week 3: Build your traffic plan by organizing your top post links and promoting them weekly. By the time October rolls around, you'll already have the systems in place for your blog to generate income on autopilot through Q4—freeing you up to actually enjoy the holidays. You don't need a complicated strategy to make your blog profitable this season. You just need to take action now. Choose one of the three methods above—affiliate links, digital products, or ad revenue—and take 30 minutes this week to set it in motion. Your future self (and your holiday calendar) will thank you. If this episode inspired you to take action, I'd love to hear what you're implementing first. Send me a DM or tag me in your pin so I can cheer you on. Stay creative and keep planting those income seeds, friend.

If you are someone who loves building healthy relationships, communication skills, and personal growth, then this episode is for you.A few years ago in couples therapy, I learned one simple relationship tip that completely changed the way I communicate, especially during conflict. It's something I come back to again and again, whether I'm arguing with my husband or navigating tension with a family member.This advice is so powerful because it works outside of romantic partnerships too—whether you're navigating tension with a friend, a family member, or anyone you love and respect.In this episode, I'm walking you through the exact phrase my therapist said that stopped me in my tracks, helped my husband and I reconnect, and later, helped my sister and I move from feeling misunderstood to finally hearing each other.But first, a big disclaimer: this tip only works with emotionally intelligent, securely attached people. It's not for those in abusive dynamics or with people who are committed to misunderstanding you. If that's something you've struggled with, I hope this episode gives you clarity on when to apply healthy communication tools—and when to have the self-worth to step away.You'll learn:Why being “right” is overrated in relationshipsHow to shift from objective truth to subjective experiencesWhat emotionally-intelligent conflict resolution actually sounds likeHow to move from defensiveness to connection in under 10 minutesWhether you're in a long-term relationship or just want to improve how you show up for the people you love, this episode will give you the mindset shift you didn't know you needed.Deepen your self-love journey with Mary's books:*The Gift of Self-Love,* an interactive workbook that will help you build confidence, recognize your worth, and learn to finally love yourself.*100 Days of Self-Love,* a guided journal with 100 prompts to help you calm self-criticism and learn to love who you are.Follow Mary on IG: @maryscupofteaa and @maryspodcastIf you're enjoying this self-love podcast, share it with the women in your life to spread the gift of self-love!Mentioned In This Episode...Ep. 170: Intentional Wedding Planning and Artful Gathering with Priya ParkerEp. 257: Me and My Sister Recap Our Trip to France Ep. 258: Confidence Advice for Teen Girls (feat.

Why are so many girls struggling with anxiety, low mood, and poor mental health—and why are they starting to think it’s normal? In this Doctor’s Desk episode, Dr Justin and Kylie Coulson unpack recent UK research that asked teen girls themselves what's causing their distress. The answers are confronting: gender expectations, academic pressure, toxic friendships, and social media. But there’s hope. This episode offers real parenting solutions to help our girls thrive. KEY POINTS: Girls are normalising poor mental health. That’s not okay. We need to intervene early with meaningful support and connection. Narrow gender expectations hurt. Whether they lean into “girly” or “tomboy,” girls feel judged either way. Let them follow their authentic interests, not societal labels. Academic pressure is intense. Many girls feel they must succeed and that failing means they’re a failure. That belief is contributing to rising anxiety. Friendships can be fraught. Judgy, competitive peer dynamics—especially around appearance and eating—erode girls’ confidence and mental health. Social media fuels comparison. Girls see everyone else’s “perfect” lives and feel like they don’t measure up. The myth of the perfectable life is everywhere. QUOTE OF THE EPISODE: “Poor mental health shouldn’t be normal. It should be the exception—not the expectation.” RESOURCES MENTIONED: University of Manchester research (linked in show notes) Miss Connection: Why Your Teenage Daughter Hates You, Expects the World, and Needs to Talk – By Dr Justin Coulson Happy Families School Membership ACTION STEPS FOR PARENTS: Break the gender box. Support your daughter’s interests, whatever they are. Expose her to a wide range of hobbies and possibilities. Ease academic pressure. Model balance, share your own stories of failure and recovery, and consider the value of a gap year post-high school. Prioritise quality friendships. Encourage your child to nurture one or two deep, loyal friendships over being "popular." Create strong tech boundaries. Monitor screen time, model healthy device use, and ask reflective questions about how social media makes them feel. Eat dinner together. Regular family time at the table builds belonging, boosts well-being, and keeps the door open for tough conversations. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Plugged In's Adam Holz looks responds to an accusation that Facebook would monitor teen girls' account activity, like deleting their photos and use of certain words, then selling that information to cosmetic companies.  He also addresses how teens are self-diagnosing themselves with ADHD based on social media influencers.  John Plake of the American Bible Society talks about a survey of citizens of Western European and American countries regarding how relevant they see the Bible in their lives.  While most Europeans see the Bible as irrelevant, more Americans do.  Faith Radio podcasts are made possible by your support.

Girls are struggling with self-confidence younger than ever, but as moms, we have more power to help than we realize. In this episode, Whitney sits down with Leslie Randolph, a self-confidence coach for teens and tweens, about what's really going on beneath the surface. From the pressure of social media to that quiet inner critic developed early on, they unpack the subtle yet powerful ways confidence can be formed or chipped away.   With years of experience working with young girls, Leslie shares powerful insights into when and how self-doubt actually begins, and it's earlier than you think. She also breaks down the difference between confidence (built through experience) and self-confidence (rooted in belief without proof), and why this distinction is important when helping girls feel brave enough to try new things, especially in a world that often values perfection over progress.   Leslie also dives into what it looks like for moms to model self-confidence in real, honest ways. Sharing our own struggles, showing up authentically, and having open conversations with our daughters can make them feel safe and seen. If you've been wondering how to help your daughter feel more confident without the pressure to be perfect, this is one you won't want to miss.   Here's what you can look forward to in this episode: Understanding the patterns of doubts that form in teenage girls Buying things because of others vs. buying things because you want them How she helps girls connect with themselves and move to a place of true self-confidence Helping our kids when they speak poorly of themselves Giving kids the confidence to try new things How we, as moms, can model confidence for our kids Ways we can continue to genuinely connect with our teens Having conversations with our teens about not falling into the trap of social comparison Reflection question to ponder: How can I go first?

Today, we're tackling an issue that is becoming more and more common among our daughters—low resiliency. Have you ever watched your daughter give up on something the moment it gets hard? Maybe she quits a sport, refuses to study for a tough test, or simply says, "I can't do this" before she even tries? This is not just a parenting frustration—it's a generational issue. Studies on Generation Z show that many of our kids struggle with perseverance, often giving up when faced with difficulty. Today, we're going to talk about why that is, how it impacts their confidence and belief in themselves, and three ways you can help your daughter build resilience so she can face life's challenges with strength. Are you looking for ways to communicate with your girl so she can start opening up to you? Do you want to understand why is it so hard to approach your girl? Are you stuck on how to approach your teenage daughter in conversation without her freaking out?   SIGN UP FOR TALK TO YOUR TEEN GIRL FRAMEWORK!!  A 6-WEEK JOURNEY TO SHIFT HOW YOU COMMUNICATE SO SHE CAN COME TO YOU!   You'll walk away with a deeper understanding the changes happening to your girl, Equipped in your new role as COACH in this teen stage, and establish better communication pathways to connect and grow closer with your daughter   Imagine if you and your daughter can finally have conversations at a level where she doesn't need to hide anything from you!

Many years ago, Stacey Thacker introduced me to her friend, Angie Elkins, who is an amazing woman of God and Manager of the Lifeway Podcast Network. I've had the privilege eating chips and dip with her once or twice, and so as Stacey and I were thinking about who we could invite to interview US, and help officially introduce you to our newest books, Praying for Teen Girls (by Stacey) and Praying for Teen Boys (by me, Brooke), we just couldn't think of anyone better! Thankfully, she agreed! When you tune into the podcast today, you can hear Angie ask us questions we haven't been asked before about these books (and our prayer lives), like: * What is something about your prayer life that people would be surprised to know? * What is the connection between our desperation as moms and having a vibrant prayer life? * What is the REAL reason we have chosen to be women of prayer? * How does it help my teenager for me to be a praying mom? * What do we do with the fear that comes when we're parenting teens? ...and more! This episode is real, and raw, and a true behind-the-scenes look at our own personal prayer lives and why we are so passionate about the message of these books. PLEASE head over to your podcast player and tune in now! Interested in the books? Download the first chapters of Praying for Teen Boys and Praying for Teen Girls free when you click here!

In this episode of "Rhythms That Restore," Cherisse has a conversation on REST with guest & Best Selling Author Melanie Redd. Melanie shares her wisdom she has learned in her journey and as she wrote "Just Rest: A 90-Day Devotional Journey,". We discuss the vital themes of rest, simplicity, and creating space for God. We explore the challenges we all face in prioritizing rest amidst cultural pressures and the misconception that busyness equates to worthiness. Melanie shares her journey of writing over 9 books to help others grow in their personal walk with the Lord. She emphasizes the importance of mentorship, walking with friends that are ahead of you in life, in the same season and then those who are a season behind you that you can pour into through intentional living. The episode encourages listeners to embrace rest as a sacred practice essential for spiritual, mental, and emotional well-being.

Description: In this podcast, Dr. Jordan describes 2 girls, a 4th grader and an 11th grader, who are stressed out due to over full schedules. Dr. Tim also describes 2 other factors that add to children's stress levels today: excessive pressure to excel and valuing achievement over character. Kids and teens have internalized the message that more is better and that everything that they do, grades and sports and activities, are done to improve their future outlook for college applications. This causes kids to get anxious because everything they do as kids now will affect their future. Dr. Jordan describes the need for time to refuel and reground themselves as well as ways that they can take breaks to destress and replenish themselves. Finally, it is critical that kids make self-care important so that they will regularly schedule such times no matter how busy they become.Resources:Dr. Jordan's previous podcast: Why rushed kids are lonely and stressedWatch for Dr. Jordan's new book, Keeping Your Family Grounded When You're Flying By the Seat of Your Pants, revised edition to be published late March 2025Join Our Community:https://www.facebook.com/DrTimJordanhttps://www.instagram.com/drtimjordan/https://www.linkedin.com/in/tim-jordan-md-79799120b/

Over the next few weeks, we'll be replaying our top episodes of 2024 while we spend time with our friends and family over the holidays! AKA the episodes you guys streamed the most!  Thank you so much for your support of the podcast in 2024 - we hope you have an amazing holiday surrounded by loved ones, peaceful moments, and memories in the making. Cheers!   This Spring at Hilliard Studio Method, we hosted a live Q&A with Dr. Liz Moran on all things hormone health. It was so popular that we knew we had to bring her on the podcast! In this episode, Dr. Moran - an OB/GYN and the owner of Premier Gynecology & Wellness - shares her perspective on how hormones change as we age, the pros and cons of hormone replacement therapy for menopause, breast cancer, and so much more.   A native Charlottean, Dr. Moran graduated from Charlotte Country Day School, pursued her undergraduate studies at Duke University, then went on to medical school at Wake Forest University School of Medicine. Dr. Moran has been honored annually by Charlotte Magazine as a Top Doctor in Charlotte since 2010.   Resources mentioned: Premier Gynecology & Wellness Listen to Ep. 137: Diving Into Hormones Pinwheel for limiting kids' tech access  Some key takeaways from this episode include: Perimenopause often takes place in a busy season of life for many women, so they chalk up symptoms like exhaustion to schedules and kids when they actually might be signs of hormonal changes that can be addressed with your doctor.  There is a link between estrogen and heart health. If you decide to utilize a treatment like hormone replacement therapy, know that there can be some risks, but you need to weigh the pros and cons with your doctor based on all the factors. Lab work is used to flag diseases, not to look for wellness. So if your labs come back in the “normal” range, continue getting a metabolic panel annually so you and your doctor can track trends within the ranges.   Hilliard Studio Method takes working out to the next level to produce results that are nothing short of a total mind-body transformation.
