Coffee & Conversions | SEO, Pinterest & Organic Marketing Strategies to Grow Outside of Social Media

If you’ve ever felt like you’re wearing all the hats—SEO strategist, Pinterest manager, web designer, podcaster, content creator—this episode is for you.
I’m pulling back the curtain on the online courses for creative service providers that have made the biggest difference in my business (and my sanity). These courses have helped me grow faster, skip the overwhelm, and learn from experts without dropping thousands on 1:1 coaching.
We’ll talk about:
The top courses that shaped my business
Why courses beat Google searches (and AI “answers”) every time
How creative service providers can use courses to scale without burning out
Think of this episode as your permission slip to stop piecing things together and start learning smarter. Because you don’t have to know it all—you just need to know where to learn what matters most.

This week I’m sharing something a little different—I was recently interviewed on the Light Her Up Podcast and loved the conversation so much that I had to bring it here for you, too.
We talk about what it really looks like to juggle corporate finance, motherhood, and building a business in the margins of everyday life. I share how I went from designing custom planners to running P&W Designs—branding, web design, and SEO—and why teaching clients the “why” behind their website is non-negotiable.
Inside this episode, you’ll hear:
The messy but practical beginnings of my business (and why starting small matters)
How SEO completely shifted my approach to web design
Simple nervous system tools I use when anxiety creeps in
The power of community and why honest client education shortens the path to results
If you’re the visionary juggling a full plate and craving momentum without waiting for “perfect,” this one’s for you.

A beautiful website doesn’t guarantee new clients—if Google can’t find you, neither can they. In fact, 96% of web pages get zero organic traffic. That’s why learning how to check if your website is showing up on Google is one of the most important steps you can take as a business owner.
In this episode, I’m sharing a simple, beginner-friendly SEO check you can do today to see if your site is visible online. I’ll walk you through the exact SEO tools for small business owners—like Google Search Console, Google Analytics, and Ubersuggest—so you can finally understand how people are (or aren’t) finding you.
You’ll also hear about common mistakes that keep websites hidden, including missing keywords, weak meta descriptions, and thin content. And most importantly, I’ll give you actionable SEO tips you can start using right away—like updating a single page with a targeted keyword or submitting your sitemap to Google.
If you’ve been wondering why your website isn’t bringing in traffic or leads, this episode will give you clarity, direction, and the confidence to take control of your visibility.
Because your dream clients are already searching online. The question is—are they finding you?

In this episode, I’m sitting down with Christine (CJ), the heart and hands behind Massage by CJ in Minnesota. Her journey into massage started after a childhood accident opened her eyes to the power of healing—and over the years, she’s built a practice rooted in listening, intuition, and creating exactly what each client needs.
CJ and I also pull back the curtain on what it was like to build her brand and website together, and how learning the ins and outs of SEO shifted the way she thinks about showing up for her business.
This conversation is part personal story, part behind-the-scenes business growth—and it’s packed with takeaways for anyone who wants their work to connect with the people who need it most.
If you’re local to Lake Minnetonka, you’ll want to book a session with CJ at massagebycj.com. And if you’re a small business owner, you’ll walk away inspired to think differently about your own brand and online presence.

In this unfiltered episode, I open up about my own mental health challenges while working in corporate America—and why a single "mental health day" doesn’t cut it. From burnout and overloaded teams to the emotional tax of being a woman in the workplace, I’m pulling back the curtain on what it really feels like to be a high-performing employee and a human being.
We’ll dig into:
The double standard in corporate wellness culture
Stats that show just how much women are affected
The invisible weight of the mental load
Why so many millennials are walking away from corporate jobs altogether
This is for the woman doing her best in an impossible system. It’s okay to not be okay. And it’s okay to say something about it.
