StickerGate, Fake Income Screenshots & The Unhinged Reel
We’re diving into the kind of online business bullsh*t that makes you question whether people are building brands… or auditioning for reality TV. From StickerGate (yes, a real saga where a business owner faked hate mail for clout) to fake income receipts that magically appear thanks to screenshots, Photoshop and AI... to a coach going fully unhinged and making a reel dragging a smaller creator over… feeling annoyed by what they wrote on Facebook (???), we’re covering it all. But more importantly? We’re talking about what this says about the online business industry and why ethical marketing isn’t just the moral choice, it’s strategic. ✨ In this episode, we break down: The wild saga of StickerGate: how fake drama turned into real backlash Why income screenshots are now basically fan fiction The rise of “rage-bait content” and coaches who build platforms by punching down The psychology behind why people fake, fabricate, and overreact online How these trends are killing trust with consumers Why ethical marketing is the only long-game strategy worth playing What actual leadership looks like in a digital space full of noise Expect: Hot takes, honesty, business sense, and the kind of call-outs that actually HELP people instead of humiliating them for clicks. Also count how many times I say 'like' and 'literally' lmao. This is the episode every business owner needs to hear — especially if the online space has been giving you the ick lately.

The Price of Silence vs. The Risk of Speaking Up
In this episode of Not Your Basic Boss Babe, we delve into the complexities of political discourse in the business world, especially in the wake of recent events. The tragic assassination of conservative commentator Charlie Kirk has ignited a nationwide conversation about the intersection of politics, business, and personal values. Key Takeaways: The Myth of Neutrality: Understand why "staying neutral" is, in itself, a political statement. Silence can be perceived as complicity, particularly by communities directly affected by harmful rhetoric. Cancel Culture vs. Accountability: Learn the difference between being "canceled" and being held accountable. For businesses, accountability means your audience deciding if your values align with theirs, not cancellation, but choice. Navigating Political Discourse: Gain insights into how business owners can approach political topics without alienating their audience, and the importance of aligning your brand with your core values.

The Pricing Dilemma...
Scaling Isn’t About Charging More... It’s About Creating More Opportunities for People to Say Yes!

I’m breaking down why constant price hikes can actually damage trust, alienate your audience, and stunt long-term growth — and what real scaling actually looks like.

Say GOODBYE To Selfish Social Media ☻
In the ever-evolving realm of social media, a prevalent truth emerges: it often becomes a haven for self-indulgence. Countless individuals eagerly seek validation through likes and views, yet their interaction is one-sided, devoid of reciprocity. It's a perpetual solo performance, with a me-first mindset that dominates the landscape. But there's a deeper layer to the art of social media than mere posting. Success lies in the active exploration of niche hashtags, where your potential clients congregate. Genuine engagement entails liking, sharing, and commenting on content that resonates with your message. This daily commitment, ideally at least 90 minutes of your time, becomes paramount, especially during slow periods. The transformation of an Instagram dead zone into a thriving client hub typically materializes within the span of 30 to 90 days through this method. The majority, however, grapple with the daunting task of dedicating such a significant portion of their time to social media. Here, outsourcing steps in as the key to unlock growth, transcending the hurdles of design, cohesion, messaging, and strategic intricacies that underpin every post and caption. It's an art and a science, a multifaceted endeavor where success demands more than a mere presence; it demands engagement, strategy, and a keen eye for the ever-evolving digital landscape.

You NEED Confidence ☻
Hi Besties! Your girl is back with some words of wisdom. Time and time again I see people who have the most incredible offers in this industry FALL FLAT. Not because they suck or for any other reason, but THE SIMPLE FACT that they lack confidence. And this absolutely falls under ones internal narrative that could be potentially corrupted with imposter syndrome... To ANYONE feeling like they aren't enough in this industry, I implore you to listen to this message I'm sharing. Instead of focusing on the corrupt, fraudulent, fake coaches that are boasting 5, 6, or 7 figure months or years- they HAVE NOTHING ON YOU, besides confidence. CONFIDENCE is the key to success in any facet of life. Many of us have been conditioned to feel unworthy- we can thank social media and "reality" TV (or for those of us with childhood trauma- we can blame our families.) Ultimately we can play the blame game all day for feeling the way we feel and why we aren't where we want to be, or why we aren't gaining the dream clients we desire... BUT it comes down to YOU. You have the power and the knowledge and the SKILLS, babe! You NEED to start owning this.

Through Faith Comes Resilience ☻ Kelle Marie
As an entrepreneur and just human being, sometimes it can feel like we've got the weight of the world on our shoulders. For some that weight can become too much to bear and can paralyze you mentally, emotionally, leading you to become stuck or worse down the road of detrimental habits/vices, and death. Success is nothing if you're dying on the inside. You want to fully enjoy the life you live and that doesn't mean easily overcoming traumatic obstacles, it means having the knowledge and resources to overcome hardships in a healthy way... so you don't become stuck or fall down that dark hole of depression. In this episode I sit down with Kelle Marie, a trauma healing and recovery mentor, advocate, and speaker. Kelle lost her son to the opioid epidemic and an overdose that became national news, which sent her into a deep depression that led her to attempt suicide. Today she is here to share her story and how she is using her hardships and traumatic experiences in her business to help others find hope and strength! Far too often we let our own traumatic experiences hold us back, from making decisions, thriving in our life, business and relationships, taking risks... the list is endless of the ways we can let these things hinder our lives. We can even let our spaces become dark and depressing, which is something I LOVE that Kelle talks about is how she (virtually and in person) works with you to clean up your space so you can start living and doing again! Find Kelle on Instagram @kellemarie.me or Facebook @iamkellemarie Visit her website here www.kellemarie.me If you or someone you know is struggling, please call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline 800-273-8255

WTF Is A Loop Group!? ☻ Your Business Bestie Explains...
Hey Besties! With the overwhelming amount of discouragement from IG users in regards to ENGAGEMENT, I thought I'd touch on something that could be tanking your engagement... LOOP GROUPS. If you're sitting there wondering: ⇢ What is a loop group? ⇢ How can you tell if someone uses them? ⇢ How does this negatively impact your account? ⇢ What should you be doing instead? A loop group is the LAZY route to engagement. It's not organic and the algorithm is aware, which is why it shows your content to less than 2% of your following. I'm breaking down what a loop/engagement group is, how you can tell (if you care enough) if others are using them, how they tank your engagement, and what you should be doing instead.
