You know that rush when you discover a new jewelry brand on Instagram? Like when you stumble across those delicate silver chains that look perfect for layering, or find a small business making the *exact* earrings you’ve been searching for but could never find anywhere else. So you click over to their website, spend twenty […]

POV: You’re at Ulta, arms full of skincare products you definitely don’t need but absolutely want, and then you catch a glimpse of the total at checkout. 😬 Sometimes you power through and buy it all anyway (bc that new Drunk Elephant serum isn’t going to buy itself). Other times, you quietly set everything down […]

You know that sinking feeling when you spend an hour crafting the perfect email, hit send to your entire list, and then watch it get the digital equivalent of crickets? Meanwhile, your friend casually mentions that her “random Tuesday email” got a 65% open rate, and you’re over here celebrating when yours hits 18%. (It’s […]

My client (we can call her Em) was staring at her Klaviyo dashboard with that look I know all too well. You know the one: equal parts confusion and mild panic. Something similar to 🥴. “People are subscribing,” she said during our call, “but then… nothing. They just disappear.” I pulled up her account to […]

I was scrolling through my DMs last week when I saw the most telling back-to-back conversations. First DM: A founder excitedly telling me she just hit 10K followers on Instagram (the milestone we’re all told matters).

You know that feeling when you walk into a furniture store, and before you even have a chance to look around, a salesperson is breathing down your neck? “Can I help you find something? Are you shopping for something special? Let me show you this new couch we just got in!” Meanwhile, all you wanted […]

You ever had a tiny leak in your house? Maybe it’s the sink dripping just a little, or a slow, silent trickle from the bathtub faucet. At first, you barely notice it. It’s small. A little annoying, but nothing major. But then the water bill comes in higher than usual. And suddenly, that small leak? […]

Running a CPG brand isn’t for the faint of heart. One minute you’re celebrating a new retail partnership, the next you’re elbow-deep in supply chain issues.  You’re juggling marketing, product development, inventory management, and customer service. Sometimes all before lunch. And then there’s email marketing. You know it’s important. You know it could help strengthen […]

Look, I’m not going to give you the whole “you need to start emailing now because at least it’s a platform you OWN and you don’t have to worry about algorithms messing up your read” spiel (because I’m SURE you’ve heard that more than once already). You KNOW that already. That’s not the issue. What […]

You’ve signed up for an email list, expecting valuable insights or exclusive offers. Instead, you get hit with three emails in one afternoon, or maybe a random message that doesn’t even match the reason you subscribed in the first place. It’s the kind of experience that makes you instantly reconsider sticking around.  For anyone who […]
