24: Everything I'm investing in my biz for 2026...and the concerning #noncontact trend

Season 1 · Episode 24

Sunday, December 7, 2025 • Duration 52:46

In this episode of Dirty Chats, I'm discussing two VERY disconnected things:
💸 the exact breakdown of what I'm investing in 2026, WHY...and my evolving philosophy towards investment
💔 the emotional cost of going “no-contact” with family, and the rise of this disturbing trend

First, inside Dirty Dish, I’m unpacking Oprah’s viral podcast on the silent epidemic of people going non-contact with parents and family. We talk Gen Z, therapy-speak, labels like “narcissist” and “gaslighter,” the difference between toxic abuse vs. “you’re not perfect,” and why self-reflection might be the real key to reconciliation (in families and in business).

Then I take you behind the scenes of everything I’m already investing in for my business in 2026 - exact purchases, prices, and the mindset shifts that took me from “I’ll just figure it out myself” to dropping over 20K on PR, events, strategy and systems. I break down:

Why successful entrepreneurs make decisions quickly
The difference between a “cute little business” and scalable growth
How high-ticket rooms, events and mentorships actually work (and why they’re basically a club)
The investments I’m making next year and what I expect them to do for my brand

If you’ve ever agonised over a $500 software subscription while secretly wanting a 6-figure business… this one will sting and inspire in the best way.

In this episode, we get into:

Oprah’s viral no-contact conversation and why estrangement is trending
How therapy labels (narcissist, gaslighter, BPD) can both help and harm family relationships
The difference between walking away from abuse vs. cutting off imperfect-but-loving parents
Why self-reflection is the non-negotiable ingredient in any healthy relationship
My own experience with low-contact family dynamics and “death by a thousand cuts”
How my relationship to investing in business completely changed this year
The mindset gap between “I’ll YouTube it” entrepreneurs and those playing a bigger game
Why speed of decision-making is a marker of a seasoned entrepreneur
The exact things I’m investing in for 2026 (and rough price tags):
- A high-level PR intensive
- A new website template + tech stack (hello, ThriveCart + Tonic Site Shop)
- A US trip for a major women-in-business event
- A launch strategist to help engineer a bigger, cleaner launch
How much I invested in Year 1 vs now - and why the numbers keep going up
The truth about making “sick-to-your-stomach” purchases and betting on your future self

THANK YOU - as always - for listening. Love you forever!

23: Is Ballerina Farm a scam? And a marketing makeover for Meghan Markle.

Season 1 · Episode 23

Saturday, November 29, 2025 • Duration 32:53

Is Ballerina Farm actually a scam? TikTok has accusations, and the chopping board scandal has
Can Meghan Markle ever be beloved by the public again?
And did Taylor Swift secretly cast Hugh Grant in the Opalite music video?

In this episode of Dirty Chats, I’m pulling apart three very important matters of global significance (obviously):

The TikTok accusations that Ballerina Farm is a lie and the now-infamous $259 scalloped cutting board
The Harper’s Bazaar article about Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, the house manager announcements
And my extremely unverified but deeply satisfying theory about Taylor Swift’s Opalite video

As always, we’re talking parasocial relationships, marketing, PR strategy, and what all of this actually means for your business and brand.

13: Why fast decisions make more $$$, Kris Jenner x MAC marketing flop, Alo's luxury brand mishap, & a Ben Affleck collab?!

Season 1 · Episode 13

Saturday, September 20, 2025 • Duration 29:57

This week, I re-brand Kris Jenner's Mac collab, discuss the Alo luxury handbag disaster, and my take on how to make more $$$. I cover:

Kris Jenner’s MAC Cosmetics campaign → Why the “leaked photo” stunt flopped, why big brands often miss the marketing mark, and what MAC could have done differently to connect with today’s savvy audience.
Alo Activewear’s luxury handbag launch → The $3,600 yoga-to-handbag leap no one asked for, and why brand perception matters is a fickle thing that needs to be respected.
The mantra that runs my business: → I share how moving faster (and letting go of perfection) has made me more money, plus why entrepreneurs who hesitate lose out to scrappy competitors.

You’ll also hear my unfiltered thoughts on celebrity endorsements, luxury positioning, and why done is always better than perfect.

12: 5x reasons your business should run a challenge, Charlie Kirk's death, & the NEW bachelorette?!?!

Season 1 · Episode 12

Friday, September 12, 2025 • Duration 27:26

This week's a mixed bag: the reaction to Charlie Kirk's death reveals a lot about humanity, the new Bachelorette bombshell AND why a challenge might be your BEST marketing move in 2025.

1. Running a Challenge is the BEST thing you can do for your biz.
Thinking of launching a challenge but not sure if it’s worth the work? I break down the 5 reasons you should absolutely run a challenge — from skyrocketing your visibility to creating unstoppable momentum in your sales funnel. If you’ve ever wanted a step-by-step way to build authority, grow your audience, and convert buyers fast, this is your roadmap.

2. The Tragic Passing of Charlie Kirk
We also dive into the shocking news of Charlie Kirk’s death at age 31. Beyond the headlines, I unpack the disturbing reactions online — from grief to celebration — and what this says about empathy, political division, and the humanity we risk losing when we stop listening to people we disagree with.

3. Dirty Dish: The Bachelorette’s Wild New Lead
Finally, in our Dirty Dish gossip segment, I cover the Bachelorette shake-up: Taylor Frankie Paul, star of Secret Lives of Mormon Wives, is the new Bachelorette. Is this the shot of drama the franchise needs, or the final nail in its coffin?

10: Why Americans are better at business. Plus...TAYLOR IS ENGAGED, Meghan Markle Season 2 analysis annnd Serena Williams weight loss?!

Season 1 · Episode 10

Saturday, August 30, 2025 • Duration 59:59

TAYLOR SWIFT IS ENGAGED, her storytelling psychology, and is she trolling Meghan Markle? (I mean, Sussex). We also discuss why are Americans so much bolder in business than Kiwis and Aussies....

On top of covering:

🎤 The awkward reality of friends watching your business online (and why Farmer Sam is my unexpected podcast validator).
💍 Taylor Swift’s engagement - when it happened, why it matters, and why her storytelling makes her the world’s most powerful marketer.
👑 Meghan Markle’s With Love, Meghan Season 2 — why it’s giving “school camp counselor” instead of Netflix must-watch (and my pitch to save the show).
🎾 Serena Williams partnering with a weight-loss drug company (and the brand credibility fallout).
💡 The brutal cultural difference between American entrepreneurs vs. NZ/Australian business owners - and why Tall Poppy Syndrome is holding us back from saying the big, scary goals out loud.

It’s gossip, it’s business psychology, it’s storytelling 101… and it’s your permission slip to want more, dream bigger, and actually say it out loud.

9. Alex Hormozi’s $100M Book Launch, JLo's Pretty Woman Moment AND the one thing sabotaging your business???

Season 1 · Episode 9

Wednesday, August 20, 2025 • Duration 38:41

What does J.Lo being denied entry into Chanel, Alex Hormozi’s 10-hour book launch, and Taylor Swift breaking YouTube records all have in common? Business lessons.

In this episode of Dirty Chats (where pop culture meets marketing), I talk:

Jennifer Lopez’s Chanel snub in Istanbul → and why her relentless work ethic (and even her flops) should be every entrepreneur’s blueprint.
Alex Hormozi’s insane $100M book launch strategy → from spending $5M+ on ads to a Guinness World Record, and what it teaches us about risk, ROI, and showing up messy but massive.
Taylor Swift on the New Heights Podcast → 1.3M live viewers, buying back her masters, announcing her album with Travis Kelce, and what her moves reveal about relatability, hype, and partnership in business.
The real secret to achieving more in business → why emotions are a waste of energy (my 14 yr old self didn't see this coming), how to take action even when fear creeps in, and why successful entrepreneurs don’t let feelings drive the car.

If you love marketing psychology, viral celebrity moments, and brutally honest entrepreneurial lessons, this one’s packed.

✨ You’ll hear how to turn rejection into opportunity, why “working harder than everyone else” isn’t cliché (it’s strategy), and how to stop letting emotions hijack your goals.

8: Sam Altman's terrifying ChatGPT5 interview (you NEED to hear this) - Plus Pamela Anderson & Taylor Swift BREAKS the internet

Season 1 · Episode 8

Wednesday, August 13, 2025 • Duration 41:17

🚨 ChatGPT 5 is here — but is it the tool that will revolutionise humanity… or the technology that pushes us toward doomsday? In this episode of Dirty Chats, I unpack Sam Altman’s latest interview, why his answers worry me, and what AI’s rapid evolution means for you (and your kids).

But it’s not all existential dread - we’re also diving into the week’s juiciest celebrity and pop culture updates:

🎤 Taylor Swift’s 12th album announcement - hidden clues, orange carousels, and a masterclass in scarcity marketing
💌 Pamela Anderson & Liam Neeson’s budding romance - sourdough bread, shyness, and the internet’s new favourite wholesome couple?
📺 My takeaways from Pamela’s Netflix documentary — from pattern interrupts to the personal cost of liberation in the public eye

Plus: Why refusing to learn AI now could leave you behind forever - and how to protect your future in a world where knowledge is free, creativity is under threat, and regulation is lagging behind.

7: How to debut your podcast at #1... (also Sydney Sweeney drama + SKIMS marketing win)

Season 1 · Episode 7

Wednesday, August 6, 2025 • Duration 52:39

If you’ve ever wanted to launch (or re-launch) a podcast and actually get noticed, this is the episode to steal from. I’m breaking down the exact strategy I used to debut Dirty Chats at #1 in multiple countries - including:

The 10-day review + follow push that works
How I built a “launch squad” for guaranteed action
Why I swapped 10 small prizes for one big $500 giveaway
The binge-drop strategy for week one
And why I refused to do another generic interview show

But first, I start with the gossip: why I might owe Justin Timberlake an apology (Lyme disease plot twist), Kim Kardashian’s Hannibal Lecter–inspired Skims stunt, and the Sydney Sweeney/American Eagle ad that somehow turned into a political battlefield over… jeans.
