In this episode, I answer a question from Caryn Gillen, business coach for coaches and my guest from episode 15, who recently launched a membership and wants to know:

“How do I keep members engaged and using the content that’s always available to them?”

It’s a common challenge: we create valuable membership libraries, but members forget what’s inside or never get around to exploring it. In this episode, I share practical, low-effort strategies to help you bring existing content back into the spotlight without adding more to your plate.

This episode is a goldmine for membership owners who want to reduce churn, increase member satisfaction, and make the most of what they’ve already created.

1. Why “Always Available” Can Become “Never Accessed” – How resource overload and busy lives like to get in the way.
2. The Role of Ongoing Onboarding and Strategic Touchpoints – Why helping members settle in isn’t enough.
3. How to Make Old Content Feel Fresh and Timely – From monthly themes to curated pathways and spotlights.
4. The Power of Context, Micro Wins, and Estimated Completion Times – How small tweaks increase click-throughs and completion rates.
5. Low-Lift Accountability That Doesn’t Drain Your Time – Rewards, recognition, and small moments of support that keep people coming back.

In this episode, I answers an anonymous listener question that hits at the heart of customer retention:

“How do I keep my customers engaged between purchases?”

While most businesses chase new leads and visibility, I break down why your existing customers are your most valuable asset, and how staying connected between purchases builds trust, loyalty, and repeat business.

You’ll learn actionable ways to show up consistently, support your customers post-purchase, and create a brand experience that keeps them coming back (not because they’re being sold to, but because they feel seen, supported, and valued).

1. Why Most Businesses Ghost Customers After a Sale – And how that’s a missed opportunity for deeper connection and repeat sales.
2. How to Stay Front of Mind Without Constantly Pitching – What to say, share, and show in between launches.
3. Small Touches That Build Big Loyalty – Think check-ins, celebrations, and personalized nudges that show you care.
4. Post-Purchase Experiences That Actually Support the Buyer – Why “value delivery” shouldn’t stop after they hit buy.
5. How to Use Behavior Cues to Guide the Next Sale – Let your customers show you when they’re ready to buy again.

In this milestone first-ever guest episode, I welcome business coach for coaches, Caryn Gillen, to answer a question many business owners wrestle with:

“What do you do when you love what you do, but you don’t want to sell your work?”

Caryn shares her human-first, non-extractive approach to selling: one that’s authentic, empowering, and centered around helping rather than “extracting” money from your audience.

If the thought of selling makes you cringe or you want to create a more relational (rather than transactional) sales process, this conversation will leave you inspired and ready to reframe how you sell.

What we cover:

• Why So Many Business Owners Struggle with Selling – And how to reframe selling from extraction to helping.
• What It Means to “Sell Like a Human” – Caryn’s step-by-step approach to making sales feel natural and relational.
• Creating a Trust-First Sales Journey – Why setting clear expectations before, during, and after sales calls builds buyer confidence.
• How to Serve First & Invite Later – Caryn’s practical strategy for warming up her audience through value-packed events before making any offers.
• Why It’s Okay to Have “Groupies” on Your List – And how to release the pressure for everyone to become a buyer.

In this episode, I flip the script and answer a question I was originally asked to answer during a recent guest podcast interview:

“What’s the process you follow for creating standout customer experiences?”

There was only so much detail I could get into as during my chat with the podcast host, but this is where I walk you through my step-by-step framework for designing and improving customer journeys—whether you're launching something brand new or optimizing an existing offer.

I share how I use audience feedback, intentional design, strategic automation, and data to create customer experiences that build loyalty, spark joy, and drive repeat business—all while being manageable as a solo business owner and mum of three.

If you’ve ever wondered how to turn your customer experience into your competitive advantage, this is your behind-the-scenes look at exactly how I do that.

What we cover:

• Why Customer Experience Is Your Competitive Advantage – And why it should start well before the purchase and extend long after.
• The 4 Essentials of a Standout Brand Touchpoint – Every customer interaction should be valuable, relatable, actionable, and manageable.
• How I Design Customer Journeys for New Offers – Including how I co-create with my audience before launching anything.
• How to Optimize Existing Offers Using Data and Feedback – Real-life examples of what I added or improved in my offers based on client input.
• Why Automation Doesn’t Mean Impersonal – How I create automated systems that still feel human and strategic.
