79 \\ My Quick Top 5 Tips to help with Local SEO as a Small Business Owner11 Feb 202600:12:46

If you’re a small business owner and someone could search what you do + your city… but you’re not showing up, this episode is for you.

In this episode of Coffee & Conversions, I’m breaking down five quick local SEO wins that actually move the needle. Not theory. Not trends. The same strategies I use with real clients to help service-based businesses show up in Google when it matters most.

We’re talking Google Business Profiles, location keywords, reviews, technical setup, and the biggest mistakes I see small businesses making that keep them invisible online.

If you’re tired of chasing algorithms, posting nonstop on social media, and wondering why your website isn’t doing its job, this episode will give you clarity and a clear next step.

Local SEO doesn’t have to be complicated. It just needs to be done right.

78 \\ Using Tailwind’s New Keyword Research Tool & The Importance of Keywords for Pinterest28 Jan 202600:16:56

Pinterest is a search engine.

So if you’re not using keywords for Pinterest strategically, your pins can look amazing… and still go nowhere.

In this episode of Coffee & Conversions, I’m focusing on Tailwind’s new keyword research tool (beta) and how it helps you find the keywords people are actually searching on Pinterest — without spinning your wheels.

This is NOT a step-by-step tutorial (I cover that visually in the blog + YouTube). Instead, I’m giving you the strategy behind the tool so you know what to look for, what matters, and how to choose keywords that can drive real traffic.

Inside this episode, I cover:

  • What Tailwind’s keyword tool shows you (demand, related suggestions, and “resonance”)
  • How to tell the difference between keywords that help vs. keywords that waste your time
  • Why diversifying keywords across your pins matters (especially if you batch content)
  • The keyword mistakes that quietly tank reach (vague boards, trend-chasing, mismatched links)
  • When Tailwind helps most — and when I still start with Google Search Console first

If Pinterest feels like you’re posting without knowing why, this episode is your clarity moment. Grab your coffee - and let’s make your Pinterest strategy way more intentional.

69 \\ How SEO Helped Massage by CJ Grow a Local Massage Business03 Sep 202500:28:06

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.

64\\ Mental Health in Corporate America: Women, Work, and the Mental Load No One Talks About21 May 202500:13:44

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.

77 \\ How Web Design Affects SEO (And The Red Flags That Hurt Your Traffic In 2026)21 Jan 202600:21:04

In this episode of Coffee & Conversions, I’m getting honest about how web design affects SEO—and the quiet red flags I keep seeing that are hurting traffic after website redesigns.

I’m sharing real examples from behind the scenes where beautiful, high-end websites launched… and then lost rankings, visibility, and inquiries. Not because the business did anything wrong, but because SEO was treated like a checkbox instead of a strategy.

We’re talking about what “SEO ready” actually means, why structure matters more than aesthetics, how design decisions impact search visibility, and the questions you have to ask before signing a web design contract.

This isn’t about blaming designers or second-guessing past decisions. It’s about giving you clarity, so you can protect your website, your traffic, and the work you’ve already built.

If you’ve ever wondered why a new website made things worse—or you’re planning a redesign and want to do it right—this episode is for you.

76 \\ Not a Reinvention - a Refinement: Welcome to Coffee & Conversions a Podcast focused on SEO, Web Design, and Organic Marketing Strategies07 Jan 202600:17:10

Coffee & Conversions is officially here—and this episode explains why.

For over two years, this show lived under the name Being Better Everyday. And while that name fit a season of growth, curiosity, and learning, it started to feel heavy. Like pressure. Like one more standard to meet in a world already obsessed with optimization.

So I’m closing that chapter.

In this launch episode, I share the real story behind the rebrand—what changed in my life, my business, and my relationship with “self-improvement,” and why Coffee & Conversions feels aligned with how I actually live and work now.

We talk about:

  • Why constant “being better” started to feel like pressure instead of progress

  • How hustle culture, productivity talk, and body optimization made the name feel not as intended 

  • Why conversions matter—and why SEO, web design, and strategy can’t live in silos

  • What this podcast will continue to be about (and what it won’t)

This isn’t a reinvention. It’s a refinement.

If you want honest, understandable strategy around SEO, web design, Pinterest, and organic growth—without tech bro jargon or hustle culture—you’re already in the right place.

Welcome to Coffee & Conversions. I’m really glad you’re here.

Going the holistic health route in 2023 was the best thing I did for my health.

74 \\ Will AI Replace Copywriters? Website Copy that Converts with Hello & Co.26 Nov 202500:56:58

In this episode, I sit down with Amy from Hello & Co. to talk about something every small business owner quietly stresses about… their website copy. We go deep into why good copy matters, what actually keeps people reading, and why design alone will never carry the weight of your message.

We also get real about the big question floating around the online business world: Is AI coming for copywriters? Amy and I break down what AI can help with, where it falls flat, and why human connection and real storytelling still win every time.

If you’ve ever stared at your website and thought “this just doesn’t sound like me,” or wondered when it’s time to hire a copywriter vs. DIY, this episode gives you the clarity you’ve been craving.

We talk about: • what makes website copy actually convert • when DIY copy stops working • the difference between “pretty words” and strategic messaging • how personality, tone, and connection impact sales • using AI as a tool without losing your voice • why great copy transforms the way people experience your business

Whether you’re updating your site, prepping for a rebrand, or trying to attract better-fit clients, this conversation will shift the way you think about the words on your website.

In this episode of Being Better Everyday Podcast, I am resharing a podcast interview that was on Leadership Unveiled with Kayla Fahey-Ahrndt because this conversation was so great that I knew you would enjoy it too! 

 

We talk all about juggling our corporate jobs, our passion projects on the side, and our family lives.

We also touch on how crucial it is to take care of ourselves and to draw clear lines to protect our mental and physical health. 

 

We both stress that it's more important to be intentional than to be perfect, and we encourage everyone listening to stick with their routines and habits, even if they slip up now and then.
