Manifesting Your Dream Business Starts Here
You know those quiet moments , maybe while folding laundry or waiting in line at Target, when your mind drifts into a vision of what your business could be? The kind of business that has people saying “I saw you on Instagram and knew I had to book” or “Your website made me feel like you already understood what I needed.” That vision?

Instagram Just Changed Their UI. Here’s What You Actually Need to Know
I opened Instagram the other day, just doing the usual scroll and something felt off. Not like the app was broken, but like I had walked into a room where everything had been quietly rearranged.

The Unexpected Marketing Genius Behind a Fall Foliage Coffee Shop
I have to tell you about something I stumbled across recently that stopped me in my scroll and it has everything to do with smart, intentional content marketing. I was planning a trip to Michigan to drive through the Tunnel of Trees—this famously scenic 29 mile route that explodes with fall colors. Naturally, I wanted to make sure the leaves had actually started changing before we made the drive, so I searched “tunnel of trees michigan today” on Instagram and guess what poppe
