My first podcast episode with Cashelle (#53: BDSM 101 From Submissive) was such a hit that we decided to make another one, delving deeper into how exploring trauma through BDSM can actually be a really healing experience.

In today’s episode, Cashelle walks us through some of her own trauma, and how BDSM helped her break through the chains it held her down by, and how some common traumas can be worked through with different BDSM techniques.

Some examples of the BDSM technique that correlates with the trauma:

Domination = Needing to feel Safety

Impact Play = Dissociation

Daddy = Father Abandonment

Enjoy!

Classically trained opera singer @lanaviolette was repeatedly told she had no place on the stage or in the arts.

Lana found Burlesque, and she found her Tribe as well as an empowering, body-positive space that allowed her to mix all of her talents: opera singer + dancer + production manager + pasties artist into one fabulous outlet.

Let us take you on a journey with a behind-the-scenes look at what becoming a burlesque artist looks like, what it takes to be a burlesque performer, and how difficult the system currently is to even have burlesque performed in your local city.

Book: Unf#ck Your Intimacy

Perspectives on Life from my 97yo Grandmother Therese Grossman: Part I

I’ve been interviewing my 97yo grandmother over the past several years each time I visit her in Savannah.

Therese Grossman was born May 6th, 2025 in Savannah, GA.

Recently she has started having dementia, which is normal in someone her age. The brain starts to fade as the body begins to make it sway towards the end of living in this lifetime.

I just got back from visiting her, and wanted to share some of the wisdom that I’ve gathered.

There is something magical about sitting across from someone that has been through:

• Women being allowed to vote
• Stalin gaining a leadership role in the Soviet Union
• The Great Depression
• Seeing a black ma hanging from a tree when walking home from Kindergarten
• World War II
• Hitler creating the Nazi Party
• The first McDonald’s
• Pearl Harbor
• D-Day
• Korean War
• First hydrogen bomb
• DNA 🧬 awareness was born
• End of racial segregation
• Castro takeover of Cuba
• JKF assassination
• MLK assassination
• First Moon landing
• Roe vs. Wade abortion made legal
• Personal Computer
• Aids
• The internet
• Amazon.com
• Cloning
• Google
• ISS
• War in Iraque
• Hurricane Katrina
• 9-11
• War in Afghanistan
• Outliving 3 husbands and 1 daughter
• The iPhone
• First black President
• First woman Vice President
• Nasa flies by Pluto

The first thing she wanted to share was how to live to 97.

3 Ways to Stay Young:

1. Attitude & belief system
2. Eat healthy
3. Exercise

She then shares with us what her exercise and movement program looks like weekly:

1. Exercise Class that she leads (she's the oldest one there!)

2. Zumba class on a DVD

3. Qigong in the park

4. Exercise bike

She’s outlived 3 husbands, several lovers, and a daughter. Lots and lots of friends.

She only recently retired her sex life. She told me at 90 that she was complete in that department.

I don’t know about you, but I’m looking forward to a very long life filled with love, and happiness, pleasure, lots of sex, and creating some amazing memories. I want to learn, and laugh and love so hard that at 90 I can say “ok, I am complete”.

XO,

Jen

Today I'm joined with my boyfriend & main squeeze Scott, and we dive into an interesting conversation about how Tinder trains us to think about other humans as disposable. 

This was actually our conversation that we had on our first date. Right? WOW! (and we met on Tinder).

Scott describes why he swiped right on me.

How Tinder helped me realize I'm REALLY into men with facial hair 👨.

This is a really fun episode and I really hope you get some value from it!

Intuitive Business Coach and Content Magic Maker Su Guillory talks with us today about living life with the mantra of "I can do hard things".

She moves to Italy in just a few months, and dream coming true that she's been working toward for years.

I pop in and talk about living intentionally through the hard things in life like divorce, and how to live consciously through the hard things that come our way.

This is a super motivational episode and I hope you enjoy it as much as I have!

This is a recording I did for MerchantWords last year in preparation for Prime Days.

3 Growth Spurt Client Best Practices:

1.  Snag Prime Day Deals - remember this is the perfect time to capture new customers

• July 8, 2022: Prime Exclusive Discounts must be submitted
• Prime Exclusive discounts - Do not cost but only reach Prime members unlike coupons who reach everyone. Will be displayed on a deals page within Amazon for shoppers on Prime days. See guidelines below in order to participate. These will be your best bet to capture new to brand prime shoppers.

Guidelines:

• Item needs to be nationally Prime shipping eligible product.
• The Prime Exclusive Discount must meet all regular eligibility criteria.
• Product must have at least 3-star rating or no rating.
• The discount must be at least 10% off the non-prime member non-promotional price.
• The discount must be at most 80% off the non-prime member non-promotional price.

2. Offer deep coupon discounts - remember this is the perfect time to capture new customers!

• June 10, 2022: Amazon Coupons must be submitted
• Coupons are highlighted and visible to shoppers inside of AMZ, even without clicking on your product page and also impact the buy box. These will be your best bet for Prime Day sales. Coupons work by clips and redemptions. You get charged .60 per clip whether the shopper uses the coupon or not. You can add up to 50 items and take a percent off or a dollar amount off (this amount can't be less than 5% or over 80% of your lowest price on the item). Then you set a budget for your coupons (Your budget will be shared among the following 2 costs: USD equivalent of the discount you are offering and your redemption fee of .60 cents). The coupon will automatically shut off once 80% of the budget is utilized.

3. Send a Prime Day email blast to your external email list, driving them back to Amazon.

We saw between a 2X - 12X increase in daily sales over each Prime Day for clients that used the above strategies.

Prime day is Amazon's Christmas and shoppers like big discounts. There are additional ways (other than above) you can play, listed below.

*PROMOs don't work unless you Market like crazy outside of Amazon. Not all promos impact your buy box. We had a client send out 10,000 emails and didn't receive one redemption on his promo that ran for 30 days.

*Bundling doesn't seem to be effective because the AMZ shopper buys 1 item at a time, so the value add of a % off for multiple items in one purchase doesn't seem to translate in this online space the same way it would in say a Bath & Body works.

*Lightning Deals - Amazon will offer these and showcase you on their deals page - You pay $150-$500 per deal and they last for a certain amount of time, normally an hour or so. We have never had a good return on these.

FBA inventory cut-off is June 20th, 2022 (Inventory should arrive at Amazon FBA centers by this date)

*UPDATE: We have recorded an "Open Relationships Part II", so head over there once you're done with this episode!

Since the beginning of human life, there have been all kinds of different types of relationships.

There were tribes where women ruled.

And others where many men "contributed" their seed during procreation to ensure the strength and virility of the babies.

We lived in community. 

Today's world is dominated by a patriarchal society where we view partnership as property and ownership and lifelong obligation.

Today I'm interviewing my closest friends Tony Hatch & Cristina Lopez, an engaged couple in a 9 year polyamorous partnership.

We discuss the different types of open relationship, the negatives and positives of being "in the lifestyle", and our unique experiences dating multiple people at one time.

H E L L O podcast rebrand! I felt limited by the name Bricks & Clicks in that I could only talk about retail and sales. Especially when I want to talk about everything BUT that stuff here on the podcast.

We are SO much more than our work or industry or title.

I get to talk about whatever and bring whomever I want onto this show!

Today I'm talking with Taylar Jackson, my amazing esthetician. 

Why? Because she is f*ing magical and has helped me move through soooo much (just listen to today's intro!!).

Some highlights from our convo:

> We must sit with our feelings to move into the next phase in our lives.

> This is how we feel cleansed and refreshed moving forward.

> Sometimes the “juicy” allows us to be open and feel supported. (Have the s*x)

> We don’t get to force our partners to be what we want them to be.

> There are cycles for everything… and it takes two people that are willing to put in the work and have the difficult conversations in order to make it work.

More about Taylar's skin subscription:

https://the-skinwitch.com/ 

1. AMZ Deals have already started.
2. Goodby Layaway, Hello Affirm financing! WMT is doing away with Layaway. Be prepared to find a place to hide those Holiday gifts.
3. Shop early
4. Think experiences, and out of the box.

As a brand, assuming you have inventory, this is your time to shine!

Also, get scrappy! Think out of the box:

1. Facebook and IG DM Selling (think like a boutique)
2. Social Media Advertising
3. Spruce up your website - add add an email capture form, create a holiday freebie (5 ways to stay sane with family in town, or 3 Thanksgiving Day breakfast staples) to capture higher than normal traffic.
4. Add subscription options
5. Add giftable options (gift pack, gift wrapping)
6. Think about your shopper experience long-term and build a strategy around it (this is called a funnel)
7. Show up with a deal - just like everyone else!
8. But stay profitable

Today I’m talking with Tomer David from Sourcing Monster,about How to Send Traffic from Google Ads to Your Amazon Products

But first, let me properly introduce him!

Tomer is the owner of 2 Amazon FBA brands and holds 14 years of e-commerce experience.

His online passion started when he began programming at age 12.  By age 14, he opened his 1st online business, which was a hosting company. At 16, Tomer left school to pursue his dreams full time by working at a startup company in e-commerce & marketing.

In addition to Tomer’s success on Amazon, he also teaches other AMZ sellers how to succeed through his website and Youtube channel Sourcing Monster, where he share videos about sourcing products from China and running successful online businesses.

I’m really interested in today’s topic of How to Send Traffic from Google Ads to Your Amazon Products, and lots of clients have been asking for my expertise on this subject. But my team really focuses on marketing ON AMZ, not off, so let’s dig in!

One day I realized that I kept thinking to myself that my dryer must be shrinking my clothes. I noticed that each time I put on clothes they seemed to fit tighter and tighter. But surely that’s the only explanation, right?

Just last week my husband was yammering on about how our scale must be broken. (There was lots of eye rolling on my part!)

These are the excuses we tell ourselves.

You have permission to take care of yourself today. Start small, then build upon each self care act that you incorporate so that it becomes a habit.

Today I’m with Annalise Worn, who helps impact driven entrepreneurs master their own lead generation, so they can attract all the clients they need to grow their businesses, simply.

Here are my notes from our conversation:

#1: The buyer journey - Provide value.

1. Example - snack company > We get it, packing school lunches is hard! Here's an easy recipe for 5 days of easy lunches!
2. Retargeting - anyone that clicks on the recipe, retarget them with your offer. This also allows for easier ad costs because you're leading with the value first, warming them up!

#2: PR- pay attention to trends

1. What's trending. What are people talking about.
2. See if your product might fit into and angle in to the story
3. Have a team member be on the lookout for these opportunities (maybe hire a VA!)
4. Check out https://buzzsumo.com/
5. Start developing relationships!

#3: Build collaborations

1. With journalists
2. Influencers
3. Complimentary brands

As we build and grow, it's important to audit what's working.

Amazon just announced Prime Days are back for 2021, and the timeframe is June 21 - 22, 2021.

In 2020 small businesses made over $3.5 billion on Prime Days - and this means that if you're not playing in this massive event, you're missing out.

Here are 5 ways to get ready for Prime Days 2020:

1. Get your listings spruced up NOW
2. Start advertising now to get customer tracking data (for retargeting later!)
3. Offer Prime Day Deals this year
4. Warm up your audience off Amazon before Prime Days
5. Retarget on AMZ after the big event

Welcome back to Bricks & Clicks! Today I have the pleasure of interviewing Multi Six Figure Mentor and Coach at Danielle Addison The Magnetic Business Coach.

I’ve been watching Danielle for years. I’m that fan girl that likes EVERY post, and feels a connection to every piece of content she puts out on social media.

Today we’re going to talking about: The Energy of $20K months: what it takes for creating multiple 5 figure months with ease.

Danielle has been an entrepreneur for 17 year. Multiple businesses, all 6 figure.

One of the things she learned along the way is operating with Feminine energy, operating her business with flow.

2 different ways to grow a business:

1. “Hustle” Masculine energy.

I didn’t believe that winning was trading time for money.

Q: What if I could do this with ease?

“Allow yourself the belief that it can be easy (to make money).”

“The less I work, the more I can receive”

“Allow your natural talents to lead you.”

“Invest freely and invest in yourself. Invest in your vibration.”

“Independence comes from trauma. It comes from not feeling supported. That money won’t show up for you. If you live your life with that mentality, you’ll never have it.”

Living paycheck to paycheck doesn’t have to be your future. 

Allow yourself to believe you’re always supported. 

How to Get into the Feelings of Joy:

1. Take the first step and say yes to something you normally wouldn’t say yes to.
2. Track your miracles and tell others- it will create MORE miracles!
3. Show up and watch the Universe show up for you.
4. Make time for magic. Your calendar is your magic wand.

On today’s episode, I talk about what the Open Call event is and the important details to pitch a product. Products need to be made in the USA, but not all of the components need to be from the United States. An example would be coffee, which isn’t grown in the U.S.
