Guess what?! I’ve got a guest in the studio—and trust me, you’re going to love this one. I’m sitting down with my powerhouse friend Amanda Cahill, who just dropped her brand-new book Redefining You. (Yes, I’ve got the Kindle version. Yes, it’s that good.)

We’re getting real about reinvention, letting go of perfectionism, and what it actually takes to evolve into your next-level self—in business, life, and mindset. Amanda pulls back the curtain on going from podcaster to published author, how she tackled imposter syndrome head-on, and why self-promotion isn’t sleazy—it’s necessary.

If you’re launching something big (or dreaming about it), grab your coffee, notebook, and maybe a glass of wine—because this episode is full of the no-fluff, all-heart advice you didn’t know you needed. Let’s dive in.

Let’s be real: boosting posts is NOT a marketing strategy. If you’re trying to scale your business from 6 to 7 figures and your audience has hit a plateau, you need to get serious about how you spend your ad dollars. In this episode of the Million Dollar Breakthrough, I’m sharing what I’ve learned running thousands in paid ads (and what I wish I knew sooner 😬).

We’re talking real numbers, and why a $10/day campaign won’t get you to your next comma level. I’m breaking down the strategic mindset shift you need to make so your ads actually convert—and your business actually grows. Let’s dive in.
