If you're showing up on social media consistently but not seeing consistent sales, this episode is for you. In this episode, I'm breaking down three major shifts happening in online marketing and social media selling in 2026 and why many entrepreneurs are struggling to convert followers into paying clients. I'm sharing the exact content and marketing shifts she's teaching inside her programs that are helping entrepreneurs build authority, grow engaged audiences, and hit consistent five-figure months. If you want to stand out online, position yourself as an expert, and turn your content into clients, these strategies will help you rethink your approach to social media in 2026.

| Is Your Niche 'Too Small'? This Certified Nutrition Specialist (CNS) Made $28K | 02 Mar 2026 | 00:43:45 | |
What shifts when you stop trying to help everyone and finally build your business around the women you are truly meant to serve? In this episode, I sit down with Sophie Forbes-Johnson, clinical nutritionist and women's hormone specialist, to talk about niching into perimenopause, raising her prices, and building a premium one-on-one offer that actually delivers life-changing results. Sophie shares how her own journey with endometriosis, surgery, and even chemical menopause shaped her passion for women's health and how getting clear on her messaging helped her go from spinning her wheels to selling eight high-ticket packages in just a few months. We unpack the realities of perimenopause, including the symptoms women are told are "normal," why personalized care matters more than ever, and how shifting from scattered offers to one signature six-month program completely changed her business. We also talk about comparison, pricing confidence, and the mindset shift that helped her step into her role as part of the solution in women's healthcare. Tune in to hear:
