This episode marks the evolution of the show into The Digital Systems Operator Podcast — a shift that reflects the real work, the deeper strategy, and the higher-level execution behind modern digital businesses.

A simple, relaxed breakdown of funnels for coaches, consultants, and online experts. I walk you through opt-ins, nurture sequences, automations, tagging, engagement — and how to build trust without being tacky. Perfect for beginners who want clarity without the overwhelm.

I’m testing, tweaking, and thriving through a full digital ecosystem audit. With Kajabi changing direction, I’ve started exploring Wix, WordPress + Elementor, and ActiveCampaign to see which platform gives the best mix of creative control and automation. In this episode, I share what’s working, what’s not, and how you can future-proof your own business systems — without losing your flow or your freedom.

A real-time reflection on Kajabi’s new pricing, the Contra migration, and how course creators can adapt.

Kajabi just announced their new rates. In this live episode, I was surprised to learn about this. How this impacts new creators, coaches and educators - those who are just starting out.

Overthinking your content? Wondering if you’re giving too much away for free? In this candid solo episode, I’m unpacking the fine line between generosity and strategy — and why it’s okay to share your knowledge without giving away the whole playbook.

This one’s not about tips or tactics. It’s about you. The version of you that’s tired, stretched, questioning whether this business thing is even worth it, but still shows up anyway. In this deeply honest solo episode, I go live (again), unscripted, unfiltered, and in the thick of it. From juggling client work to bleeding fingers in front of a fan (yes, really), I talk about the messy middle of content creation and the pressure of running a business while also being human. If you’ve ever felt like you’re carrying too much, dreaming too big for your clients, or just trying to survive Monday with a little bit of soul intact… this one’s for you. What You'll Hear: What showing up really looks like when you’re not in the mood Why waiting for inspiration is a trap (and what to do instead) The reality of doing client work with a visionary heart Motherhood, self-care, and finding stillness without needing an ER visit to justify it Releasing the pressure to be on all the time — and creating from where you are A little woo, a little grit, and a lot of real talk for content creators on the edge Real Talk Highlights: “Not every day is a good business day. Some days you just need to survive — and that’s okay.” “The only time I gave myself permission to rest was when my hand was literally bleeding.” “You don’t need a new funnel. You need to breathe.” “You’re not behind. You’re just burned out. And your business needs you whole — not just busy.” Resources & Links: 🌐 WeThriveByDesign.com – for Kajabi setup, content strategy, or just a little support in the chaos 🌊 Final Words: Some episodes are polished.This one is not. It’s a reminder that showing up is enough.Even when you’re spiralling. Even when your clients don’t get the vision.Even when you’re building offers for an audience you’re not even sure is watching yet. You’re still building.You’re still showing up.And that’s not small. That’s everything. Take a breath.Then hit publish anyway.
