We're back!!!

After an August break, I’m SO excited to be back! In this episode, I dive into a brand-new Buffer report that analyzed 27 million Instagram posts and the findings might surprise you. From how often to post (spoiler: 3–5x per week = double the growth) to the surprising performance difference between Reels and carousels, I break down what “good” engagement really means and how to build a content strategy that works.

On the mindset side, I’m sharing reflections from The Alchemist, specifically how the desires in our hearts are there for a reason. If you’ve been feeling stuck or uncertain in your journey, this episode is a reminder to reconnect with your purpose and trust that the universe is conspiring to help you.

✨ Marketing momentum. ✨ Mindset clarity. ✨ All in under 10 minutes.

So grab a glass and let's chat!

Hey y'all! 👋 It’s August, and I wanted to let you know that Bubbles & Biz is taking a short summer break before coming back refreshed and ready for an exciting fall season. 🫶

In this episode, I shares why I'm pressing pause for the month! I have been fighting off a lingering cough, savoring the last days of summer with family, making some podcast updates and gearing up for a strong September comeback 🔥

I also drop a few quick marketing updates you’ll want to know:

• Instagram’s Edits App: Why using it could boost your Reels reach.

• Google & AI Content: Why human involvement is still essential for ranking and reader trust.

• AI Search Updates: How Google’s AI is pulling and displaying content differently (with a blog on https://nb.marketing/blog for more details).

And for this week’s mindset tip? I open up about the power of rest. Even for entrepreneurs who feel wired to hustle, taking time to slow down can lead to more creativity, clarity, and joy. I encourage you to listen to your intuition, embrace the pause, and trust that amazing things can still happen in the background. ❤️

The podcast turns six years old this month, and I am SO grateful for every listener and guest who have been part of this incredible journey! 🥂

See y'all in September! 🍂🏈

This week on Bubbles & Biz: Marketing + Mindset Monday, I'm diving into two big topics that every entrepreneur should care about: smart PR moves and deep mindset work 🧠

First up, we look at how Ryan Reynolds’ ad agency, Maximum Effort, teamed up with Gwyneth Paltrow to help a brand turn a viral mishap into a clever PR opportunity 🚀

Then, we shift gears to explore the power of subconscious programming and I share a little of my personal journey of uncovering and rewiring deep-seated beliefs, explaining why true transformation goes beyond surface-level affirmations and into the operating system of your mind. ✨

If you’ve been working on your mindset but still feel “stuck,” this episode is for you 🫶

What if leaving your dream job was actually the first step toward your dream life?

In this episode of Bubbles & Biz, I sit down with Annie Franceschi, former Disney storyteller turned brand strategist, author, and host of the Establish Yourself podcast.

Annie shares the powerful story of how walking away from the “perfect” job led her to create a business that helps over 400 entrepreneurs find clarity, confidence, and connection through branding and storytelling.

We chat about the difference between a dream job and a dream life, why so many of us struggle to describe what we do (and how to fix that!), and how to actually get more referrals by owning your message and following up with ease. 🤌

Annie also drops her favorite time-saving tools and mindset shifts that can help you grow a fulfilling business and enjoy your life. ❤️

If you’re ready to embrace your story, simplify your message, and market with more ease and authenticity, this one’s for you!
