my business didn’t make money when I didn't work


Nearly three years ago, I had my first baby. I thought my business was ready, but it wasn’t (cue the tears).

I was marketing on Instagram, and sharing emails to my list sporadically…

But the all-important thing I did NOT have??

An automated sales system.

Basically, when I couldn’t work, my business didn’t make money. 😭

Having a baby shone a light on all the broken parts of my business… that previously I could cover up, but that could no longer hide in the shadows anymore.

‘Cause oooooh boy, that first newborn season was tough—let’s just say I didn’t get much work done between trying to get a baby to sleep and trying to shower/eat/sleep myself.

So since having kids (I now have 2 sweet boys to love!), I've tapped into the power of email marketing WAY more intentionally than ever before.

Now, I have an automated sales machine that generates sales every single day, even when I’m not working.

Like on a random Monday when I made $455 in digital product sales while spending most of the day at the park with my kids and watching Frozen (only watched it for the first time 2 weeks ago, don’t judge).

I’ll be honest: my email marketing glow-up didn’t happen overnight.

I’ve invested time and resources into perfecting email marketing strategies. I’ve tested them in my own business and I’ve used them in my clients’ businesses when I’ve written emails for them (emails that have raked in 5 and 6-figures per campaign).

Now, I want to share these strategies with you—‘cause I do NOT believe in gatekeeping!!

P.S. Full transparency: I’m a big believer in keeping it real. You’ve probably attended a masterclass before and felt blindsided by a surprise offer.

I want you to know this: I will be extending an offer at the end of the webinar about a paid way to work with me, if you decide you want more support. There’s no pressure to join, but the opportunity is there. ❤️

And if you don’t, that’s totally okay! My goal is for you to get a TON of value out of this masterclass, whether or not you choose to work with me. No gatekeeping, promise.

Need your opinion real quick... If I told you I once had a launch where only 12 people bought, would you say... (click your answer below!) "Yikes, that kinda sucks!" "Well, that's something, I guess?" "That's amazing!" Most people pick A or B—but here’s why the answer is actually C: At the time, my email list had less than 300 subscribers. 👉 12 buyers from 300 people = a 4%+ conversion rate. That’s HIGHER than most people get with lists of thousands!! It’s a lesson for all of us that making...

Hey Reader As I plan for 2025, there's one thing that's a non-negotiable: email marketing. 💌 And I’m not just saying that because I love email (though I do 😉) —I’m saying it because email delivers results like nothing else I've ever used in my business. Here’s why email is my #1 marketing focus for 2025 and how I’m using it: 1. It’s Personal and Predictable Unlike social media, where algorithms control who sees your content, email lets me connect directly with my audience. Each message lands...

So many digital product and course creators believe the lie that nurturing your audience means no selling. Spoiler: Nurturing and selling go hand in hand. And when done right, nurturing actually sets the stage for future sales. You don’t need to feel like you’re “pushing” your offers. In fact, when you nurture with purpose, your audience feels more connected to you, more excited for what’s next, and more ready to buy. Here’s how to nurture and sell—seamlessly ⤵️ 1.
