Send us Fan Mail

Your Instagram page might be costing you clients — and you don't even know it.

In this episode, I sit down with Houston business consultant Mia Anderson for a live social media audit. We go through her page in real time — her bio, her content, her links, her highlights — and I break down exactly what's working, what's not, and how to fix it.

If you're a service-based business owner and you've ever wondered why people are landing on your page but not reaching out, this episode is going to hit different.

Here's what we cover:

  • Why your bio is too vague and how to get crystal clear on what you actually sell
  • The SEO trick most people miss in their Instagram name field
  • How to write a bio so clear a first grader can understand what you do
  • Why your link in bio needs a direction — not just a link
  • Why B-roll without context isn't converting and how to fix it
  • The social proof strategy that makes people pull the trigger on booking you
  • How to repurpose content you've already captured instead of starting from scratch

Q1 is DONE. And I'm not letting it pass without breaking it all the way down.

In this episode of The Side Hustler Podcast, I'm doing a full Q1 debrief — the wins, the losses, the strategies that worked, and the ones I need to let go of. No fluff, just real talk about what actually happened and what I'm building on going into Q2.

If you’re tired of constantly chasing new clients, this conversation is going to shift something for you.

In this episode, I’m talking with Kenniqua Lewter — client experience systems strategist and HoneyBook expert — about how service providers can turn one-time clients into repeat bookings and referrals without burning out.

We break down the biggest mistakes business owners make with client experience, why offboarding is where most people lose repeat revenue, and the simple upgrades you can implement this week to make your client process feel more professional, personal, and unforgettable.

64. How to Use LinkedIn to Get Clients in 202624 Mar 202600:41:12

Send us Fan Mail

LinkedIn is one of the most overlooked platforms for service providers — and honestly, I get why. If you’re used to Instagram, LinkedIn can feel “corporate” and confusing.

So I brought on LinkedIn specialist Molly Godfrey to break down how to actually use LinkedIn for lead generation in a way that feels strategic, simple, and sustainable.

We talk about how to use your existing network (especially if you have a corporate background), how often to post, what content performs best, how to optimize your profile for conversions, and why relationship-building matters more on LinkedIn than gimmicks and hacks.

If you’re a side hustler or service provider who wants to get clients from LinkedIn without posting every day — you’re going to love this one.

Talking head videos are the #1 type of content so many business owners avoid… and I get it. But if you’re a service provider, you can’t skip them if you want your content to build trust and convert.

In this episode, I’m breaking down how I make talking head content easier — what to say, how to plan it, how to batch record it, and how to batch edit it so your content doesn’t sit in a folder for months.

I’m sharing my content strategy for coming up with ideas, my talking heads framework, and the practical tips that make your videos look and sound high quality — without needing fancy equipment.

Send us Fan Mail

In this episode, I’m sitting down with Kabila Gana-Lapnet, the founder of Kabsy Kreations, for a live, real-time social media audit.

Kabila is a Houston-based baker, mom, and 9–5 professional who started her business out of pure passion and like many service providers, she found herself stuck with a decent following but struggling to consistently reach her ideal customers. So instead of giving generic advice, we walked through her Instagram profile step by step and focused on what actually helps convert followers into inquiries.

I break down how to optimize your name, bio, highlights, and content so your page clearly communicates what you do, who you serve, and how people can work with you — especially if you’re a local business owner trying to get booked.

In this episode, we discussed:

  • How to optimize your Instagram name and bio for SEO so the right people can find you
  • How to structure your content so it supports one clear business goal at a time
  • How to turn followers into customers with clearer calls-to-action and focused campaigns

If you’re a service provider who feels like you’re posting consistently but not seeing results, this episode will help you simplify your strategy and start marketing with intention instead of guessing.

Make sure you’re following @kabsykreations if you’re in Houston — and if this episode helped you, send it to a business owner who needs it.

55. How I Tripled My Revenue (My Real Numbers + 2026 Strategy)23 Dec 202500:36:48

Send us Fan Mail

In this episode, I’m getting very real about my business journey and sharing my actual numbers.

I wanted to record this episode because I know how easy it is to look around online and feel like you’re the only one struggling, or like everyone else has it all figured out. So instead of sugar coating things, I decided to break down what really happened in my business over the last two years, what worked, what didn’t, and how I was able to triple my revenue this year.

I walk you through my revenue from 2023, 2024, and 2025, how I went from barely being profitable to tripling my revenue in 2025, and the hard lessons I learned along the way especially around pricing, capacity, and paying myself.

I also break down the four revenue streams that made up my income this year, why my highest-earning offer, and how I’m restructuring my business to build something more sustainable moving into 2026.

In this episode, I talk about:

  • How much I actually made in 2023, 2024, and 2025
  • Why understanding your numbers is non-negotiable as a business owner
  • The mistakes I made with pricing and business debt
  • What I did during slow seasons instead of giving up
  • The promotion that helped catapult my business
  • The four income streams that contributed to my growth
  • Why revenue doesn’t always mean profit
  • My 2026 plan to hit my first $100K year without burning out
  • The new financial structure I’m implementing in my business

If you’re building a business and trying to figure it out as you go, this episode is for you. I hope it gives you clarity, perspective, and a reminder that growth doesn’t happen overnight, but it is possible.

If this episode resonates, tag me on Instagram (@cd.creative or @thesidehustlherpodcast) while you’re listening or send me a DM — I’d love to hear your biggest takeaway.

53. How to Market Yourself When You’re Used to Being in the Background | Social Media Audit09 Dec 202500:37:35

Send us Fan Mail

This week on The Side-HustlHER Podcast®, I sat down with mindset coach and therapist Theresa McKeel, the owner of With Grace and Grit Coaching. Theresa works with high-achieving, overthinking millennial-ish women who are constantly in their heads — procrastinating, second-guessing, and struggling to step into the version of themselves they know they’re supposed to be.

But even with her gift, the therapeutic background, and the clinical training — Theresa’s biggest challenge hasn’t been helping her clients… it’s been putting herself out there so her coaching clients can find her.

This episode is literally a live coaching session + social media audit rolled into one. We walked through her Instagram page piece by piece and built a clear roadmap for how she can market herself online with more intention, clarity, and confidence.

Send us Fan Mail

WE OFFICIALLY HIT ONE YEAR of The Side-HustlHER Podcast®, and I’m celebrating with a real, no-fluff conversation about what I’d do if I had to start my business over from scratch in 2026.

I’m on sabbatical right now, business has had its best year yet, and I’m also in the middle of launching my second “baby” in business — Batched™, a creator marketplace that connects entrepreneurs with local content creators for content days nationwide.

So yeah… it lowkey feels like starting over.

In this episode, I’m walking you through the exact moves I’d make if I was:

  • Pivoting my offers or starting from scratch
  • Rebranding or revamping my business
  • Or launching something brand new in 2026

You’ll learn:

  • How to create an offer that actually solves a clear problem
  • What to do if you don’t have proof or testimonials yet
  • The difference between a random freebie and a strategic lead magnet
  • How to pitch yourself without feeling desperate
  • What I did with my money early on (and what I still do now)

Send us Fan Mail

In this episode, I sat down with my client Natasha Jilles-Blunt of Blunt Statements Spa, also known as Houston’s #1 Big Toe Pro, for a live social media audit. Natasha opened up about the challenges so many entrepreneurs face—feeling overwhelmed by social media, unsure what actually works, and tired of trying to keep up with constant algorithm changes.

  • The type of content that builds trust and drives sales: why behind-the-scenes moments and educational posts outperform generic “pretty” content.
  • Why every post needs a clear call-to-action: how to get your audience to stop scrolling and actually take the next step—without feeling salesy.

37. Social Media Audit: How to Show Up on Consistently on Instagram with Dejeune Harris19 Aug 202500:44:06

Send us Fan Mail

In today’s episode, I’m sitting down with Dejeune Harris, the founder of Your Style Is Forever and a personal stylist for high-achieving women and execs who want their wardrobe to match their purpose. She is super clear on who she serves and what she does, but like so many of us, she was stuck on how to actually show up online in a consistent and impactful way.

We did a full Instagram audit: refining her bio, cleaning up her highlights, tightening her pinned posts, and mapping out how she can start showing up more powerfully without doing the most.

If you’re a service-based business owner who knows you’re good at what you do, but you struggle with staying consistent online or positioning yourself clearly—this one is for you.

Inside the episode, we break down:

  • How to update your bio + pinned posts to actually convert profile views into leads
  • What should (and shouldn’t) be in your highlights
  • Easy ways to show up behind the scenes even if your work is intimate or client-based
  • How to use things like quizzes + checklists to grow your email list on autopilot

Send us Fan Mail

In this week's episode of The Side-HustlHER Podcast, I’m sitting down with Rockie, a licensed esthetician and makeup artist who's shifting her business toward skincare and self-care essentials.
⁠
Rockie came to the audit feeling stuck on what to post, how to position her services, and how to make her page actually work for her. In this live social media audit, we walked through exactly how to clean up her Instagram profile, strengthen her messaging, and start attracting the right clients — without feeling overwhelmed.

If you've ever felt confused about how to brand yourself when you wear many hats (or struggled to figure out what your audience really wants to see), you’re going to love this conversation!

⁠
 In this episode, we cover:

  • How to clarify your main offer and niche without limiting yourself
  • Why your profile name and bio matter so much for visibility
  • What keywords you should be using in your Instagram bio to actually get found
  • How to clean up your services list so you don’t confuse potential clients
  • Easy content ideas for beauty pros and service providers (even if you hate being on camera!)
  • How behind-the-scenes content, testimonials, and simple branding tweaks can level up your page
  • Bonus tips for long-term growth like email marketing and collaborating with local influencers

If you want your social media page to not just look good but actually generate more business, you’ll want to grab a notebook for this one!

Send us Fan Mail

If you’ve ever wondered why your dream clients aren’t finding you—even though you’re posting consistently—this episode is for you.


In today’s conversation, I’m diving deep into how to make your social media profile fully SEO-friendly. Not just your website or your blog—your Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn, and even Pinterest profiles can (and should) be optimized to show up when your ideal audience is searching for you.

I’m breaking down:

  • What it really means to have an SEO-friendly profile
  • How to find the right keywords your audience is already searching for
  • The exact spots to add keywords (name field, bio, links, and more!)
  • How to make your link in bio actually work for you
  • Bonus SEO tips for your captions, hashtags, and overall content strategy

Visibility isn't just about posting more. It's about being found when it matters most.
