106: This Simple Email Shift Made Me $23K in 8 Weeks
2025/11/06
In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on a huge shift I made in my email marketing this year—one that completely transformed how I sell, connect, and engage with my audience. The truth is, traditional promo blasts weren’t working anymore. Open rates were dropping, clicks were slowing, and my subscribers weren’t unresponsive—they were just tuned out. So, I decided to stop shouting into the inbox and start a real conversation. What followed were four “inbox experiments” that reignited my list, rebuilt connection, and brought in over $23,000 in organic revenue—all without ads, affiliates, or new funnels. In Today’s Episode We Discuss: Why I ditched traditional flash salesThe creation of the Empowered Edge newsletterHow email replies boost deliverabilityThe four inbox experiments that changed everythingExperiment 1 – Giving away my Magic App Mapper GPTExperiment 2 –  Encouraging replies and user engagementExperiment 3 – Turning engagement into $8,500 in 24 hoursExperiment 4 – The Taylor Swift-inspired Easter egg huntThe five biggest lessons from these experimentTurning replies into revenueResources Mentioned: Learn more about the Quick Win Workshop: Inbox Experiments.

102: The Future of AI Needs Women's Voices with Kinsey Soderberg
2025/10/02
AI is everywhere, but if you’re a woman entrepreneur who’s been hesitant to dive in, you’re not alone. In this episode, I sit down with Kinsey Soderberg, host of the Authentic AI podcast, to talk about why women need to claim their seat at the AI table—not just for business growth, but to shape the future of these tools.

The reality is that it can give us our time, energy, and sanity back.

99: How Ruth Poundwhite Balances AI with Staying Authentic
2025/08/28
AI is changing the way we run our businesses, but here’s the truth—it’s not a magic button that can replace your unique voice, perspective, or expertise. In this episode of the Empowered Business Podcast®, I sit down with Ruth Poundwhite, author, coach, and host of the Soulful Sales Show, to talk about how we can use AI as a support tool without losing the human connection that makes our work stand out. Together, we explore the balance between speed and authenticity, why self-trust is more important than ever, and how to build businesses that honor both our values and capacity. In Today’s Episode We Discuss: The role of copywriting in the age of AI: We discuss whether AI threatens traditional copywriting businesses and why the value of human nuance, voice, and connection will always matter in marketing. How I use AI in my business: I open up about how I rely on AI to organize ideas, structure products, and speed up workflows—but why my own perspective and personal stories are what truly connect with my audience and drive sales. Finding your unique voice amidst AI-generated content: Ruth shares her “lightbulb moment” when she realized her sales copy sounded polished but completely lost her philosophy and soul—and how she shifted back to infusing her voice into every piece of content. The importance of self-trust in the AI era: We talk about how easy it is to outsource decision-making to AI and why entrepreneurs—especially newer ones—need to practice discernment, strengthen their intuition, and trust their own ideas before leaning on tech. Human connection versus AI dependency: From using AI as a “friend” to the rise of AI clones, we unpack the risks of replacing real human interaction with artificial support—and why genuine connection remains irreplaceable in business. AI and mental health: We dive into both the helpful and harmful ways AI can impact mental health, from reducing overwhelm and providing structure to the risks of over-reliance and misinformation. Why women must be part of the AI conversation: Ruth and I talk about why it’s critical for women to actively shape how AI develops—ensuring our perspectives and needs aren’t left out of the equation.

96: This Sales Funnel Alternative Has a 95% Retention Rate with Amy Vaughan
2025/08/07
This week on the Empowered Business Podcast, I’m chatting with Amy Vaughn, CEO of Together Digital—a powerhouse community that’s redefining how women grow online businesses. We’re digging into why the old-school sales funnel just doesn’t cut it anymore and how a relationship-first approach can actually scale your impact faster. Amy breaks down the “ask and give” networking model, why so many women feel left out of traditional spaces, and how real connection leads to real growth. We also talk about where AI fits into all of this—and how it’s leveling the playing field for business owners and moms alike. If you’re ready to ditch transactional tactics and build something that actually feels good and grows, you’re going to love this one. In Today’s Episode We Discuss: How relationship-first business models outperform traditional sales funnels: I talked with Amy about how her community, Together Digital, flips the script on traditional funnels by putting the human experience first—and why that approach actually drives better results. Why networking feels broken (and how we can fix it): We explored how women often feel shut out of typical networking environments and what it looks like to create more inclusive, authentic spaces where real connection can thrive. The power of the “ask and give” exchange: Amy broke down how her community encourages women to both ask for help and give generously—and how this simple shift builds deeper trust and stronger business relationships. Why scaling doesn’t mean removing yourself from your business: We challenged the idea that founders have to “step back” to grow. Amy explained why doing 1:1 onboarding and staying close to her members actually fuels scalability and retention. Rethinking community design for women: We talked about how everything from the layout of networking events to the tone of conversation impacts whether women feel safe and seen—and how small changes can create a big impact. How AI is helping women work smarter, not harder: Amy shared how she uses AI to multiply her small team’s efforts and how her members are using it to lead innovation inside their companies and simplify their lives at home. How to lead the AI conversation at work—even if you’re not a tech expert: We discussed the importance of women staying at the forefront of AI adoption and how to confidently advocate for its responsible use in any professional setting.

95: Why I Ditched Weekly Flash Sales (And What I’m Doing Instead)
2025/07/24
In this episode of the Empowered Business Podcast, I’m sharing the behind-the-scenes strategy that helped us hit our highest revenue month of the year—without a single big launch. I’m breaking down why I moved away from weekly flash sales, how I’m using story-driven emails to connect and convert, and the role AI is playing (without taking over my voice).  If you’ve been wondering what’s working in digital product marketing right now, this is the episode you don’t want to miss! In Today’s Episode We Discuss: What’s working right now in my email strategy: I’m pulling back the curtain on the simple but powerful email shifts that helped generate our highest revenue month of the year—without a big launch. It’s proof that consistency and intentional messaging pay off. Why I moved away from flash sale Fridays: I share the real reason I ditched our weekly flash sales, what I’ve learned about audience fatigue, and how to know when it’s time to pivot your sales approach. The rise of connection-focused content: People want more than discounts—they want to feel connected. I explain why storytelling and showing up as the face behind the brand matters more now than ever, especially in the age of AI. My new approach to writing emails with AI: Instead of starting with AI, I begin every email with a personal story. Then, I use AI to help with transitions and clarity. That one change has seriously improved our open and click rates. How I structure the Empowered Edge Newsletter: I walk you through the exact format of my weekly strategy email—including conditional content, product highlights, and the sections that consistently drive engagement and sales. Trends I’m seeing in sales patterns: Despite featuring shop deals on Friday, I’m not seeing conversions until Sunday. I talk about how I’m adjusting based on what the data is telling me—and how timing really impacts sales.

In today’s episode, I’m building on the conversation I had with Jordan Gill in Episode 89. We’re diving deeper into one of the hottest, yet often overlooked, opportunities for entrepreneurs looking to create, sell, and scale digital products—no code apps. I want you to forget the endless PDFs and basic checklists for a minute because I’m going to reveal how interactive, user-friendly tools can take your lead generation, product offerings, and business efficiency to the next level. I’m sharing five dynamic ways you can leverage no code apps for more leads, sales, and freedom – from crafting irresistible lead magnets and product enhancements to launching standalone tools, value-packed upgrades, and even replacing pricey software in your tech stack. Plus, I’m explaining how leveraging AI and no code platforms can unlock new streams of revenue for you—and I’m giving you a sneak peek at my upcoming workshop, Monetize Your Magic. If you’re ready to work smarter, not harder, and turn your expertise into a thriving digital empire, this episode is your blueprint to get started. In Today’s Episode We Discuss: The untapped power of no-code apps: I share why no-code tools are one of the biggest missed opportunities for digital product creators—and how they can unlock more leads, sales, and freedom in your business. Lead generation tools that convert: Instead of offering another PDF freebie, I talk about how to create high-value tools like calculators, quizzes, and workflows that give your audience instant wins—and convert like crazy. Enhancing your digital products with usability tools: we explored how no-code apps can make your existing offers more effective and valuable by helping customers actually implement what they learn through smart, embedded tools. Selling standalone tools as micro products: I share how you can package small, specific tools into paid products that solve real problems—everything from content repurposing planners to custody calendars and beyond. Creating premium upgrades with interactive features: From turning templates into done-with-you tools to transforming sp Before you dive into today's episode, a quick note: AI That Sells kicks off Monday, April 20th — a free live event with 50+ contributors bringing done-for-you AI tools covering offers, email, lead gen, and sales.

2025/07/12
I’m so excited to share this special bonus episode with you because I’m bringing you something completely different today—a live training I did called “Wait, AI Can Do What Now?” Look, I know AI can feel overwhelming, especially when you’re trying to build and scale digital products without losing what makes YOU unique. That’s exactly why I created this training and why I’m sharing it with you now. I’m going to take you behind the scenes of my custom-built GPT tools—the ones I use every single day to plan, build, and scale digital products smarter and faster. And here’s the thing: these tools don’t replace your expertise or personality. They amplify it. You’ll hear me get real about my own journey from corporate burnout to building a thriving digital business. I’m sharing the exact strategies I use to validate ideas, streamline product creation, and write high-converting sales funnels. Plus, I’m diving into how AI-powered data analysis can tell you exactly what to tweak next for even better results. If you’ve ever found yourself stuck staring at a blank document, overwhelmed by endless decisions, or worried that using AI will make you sound like everyone else—this episode is for you. I’m giving you real use cases, time-saving tactics that actually work, and a complete walk-through of what I call my custom GPT dream team. Whether you’re brand new to AI or you’ve been playing around with it but want to uplevel your entire digital product workflow, I’m giving you actionable steps and the inspiration to work smarter, not harder.
