Bubbles & Biz: Marketing + Mindset Monday
Hey friends and welcome back to another episode of Bubbles & Biz! I know it’s Tuesday… not Monday. But life, am I right? Between school starting, a few injuries and illness, and just trying to get back into the swing of things, I’m embracing the season I’m in. ✨In today’s episode, I share some quick but need-to-know marketing updates including new LinkedIn metrics, Instagram testing clickable links in posts (finally!), and some big AI news from Apple and a TikTok update. Then I take a more personal turn with a mindset reflection around loss, legacy, and why I jumped back into entrepreneurship nine years ago after losing my dad. ❤️It’s a reminder to check in with your why, honor the journey, and make space for pivots if what you’re doing no longer aligns. Life is short, let’s build businesses that light us up! Thanks for sticking with me as I get back on schedule. Power Hours are back on Wednesdays, and our Friday Bubbles episodes are bubbling this week, too 🥂👉 Want these updates and freebies delivered to your inbox?

Bubbles & Biz: BRB
Hey y'all! 👋 It’s August, and I wanted to let you know that Bubbles & Biz is taking a short summer break before coming back refreshed and ready for an exciting fall season. 🫶In this episode, I shares why I'm pressing pause for the month! I have been fighting off a lingering cough, savoring the last days of summer with family, making some podcast updates and gearing up for a strong September comeback 🔥I also drop a few quick marketing updates you’ll want to know:Instagram’s Edits App: Why using it could boost your Reels reach.Google & AI Content: Why human involvement is still essential for ranking and reader trust.AI Search Updates: How Google’s AI is pulling and displaying content differently (with a blog on https://nb.marketing/blog for more details).And for this week’s mindset tip? I open up about the power of rest. Even for entrepreneurs who feel wired to hustle, taking time to slow down can lead to more creativity, clarity, and joy. I encourage you to listen to your intuition, embrace the pause, and trust that amazing things can still happen in the background. ❤️The podcast turns six years old this month, and I am SO grateful for every listener and guest who have been part of this incredible journey! 🥂See y'all in September! 🍂🏈Binge the website or book a free strategy session here: https://nb.marketing

Bubbles & Biz: Marketing + Mindset Monday
This week on Bubbles & Biz: Marketing + Mindset Monday, I'm diving into two big topics that every entrepreneur should care about: smart PR moves and deep mindset work 🧠First up, we look at how Ryan Reynolds’ ad agency, Maximum Effort, teamed up with Gwyneth Paltrow to help a brand turn a viral mishap into a clever PR opportunity 🚀Then, we shift gears to explore the power of subconscious programming and I share a little of my personal journey of uncovering and rewiring deep-seated beliefs, explaining why true transformation goes beyond surface-level affirmations and into the operating system of your mind. ✨If you’ve been working on your mindset but still feel “stuck,” this episode is for you 🫶Resources & Links:Watch the Gwyneth Paltrow x Maximum Effort video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vich2C-Tl7Q&ab_channel=AstronomerThe new blog on AI & SEO: nb.marketing/blogConnect with me on Instagram: @nb.mktg
