Off the Grid: Leaving Social Media

This week, we’re deep-diving into all things retail, products, and ecommerce.

To start that conversation, I’m joined by Christine Corbin to talk about how to grow a thriving retail brand or product line in 2026 and beyond.

We discuss:
Why product photos, descriptions + reviews are so important
Squarespace vs Shopify vs Etsy
Marketing methods that work for retail (spoiler: email! markets! direct mail!)
How to drive traffic to your shop online
The NYC shop that only sells via catalog + appointments
SEO advice for e-commerce
How to write the best product page + item descriptions
Ideas for getting more reviews + social proof
CRO (conversion rate optimization) & Christine’s free worksheet bundle

On Friday, we’ll have another episode about ecommerce without Amazon or Etsy! Stay tuned to learn more about Little Blue Cart.

Happy almost-Halloween/Samhein, friends! 
In honor of the season, today I’m sharing a very special community conversation on intuitive integrity and creative/business practice.
I’m joined by Verena Borell, Sarah Arantza-Amador, and Natasha Levinger — as we originally recorded this for a panel at our spring astro summit.
This episode is for intuitive practitioners who want to build better boundaries with clients, creative people seeking spiritual support, and anyone who’s curious about modalities like astrology, tarot, and energy healing.

After my episode on pricing with Bear Hebert, I got a question from a listener that went something like this—
"How do you price yourself and your services when you already have enough money? In my case, my spouse has a very good job, so we don’t need an income from me. But I am also a creative, a gatherer, a podcaster, a stay-at-home parent, and lots more. I do these things because I love them, and I could do them for free and not charge... but is that the right / anti-capitalist answer? Help!"
I think this is an important position to talk about! So in this episode, I walk through:
How to think about money when you already have enough
Surviving vs thriving budgets & calculating a new enough number
Ideas on redistribution & recirculating profits
Accounting for privilege without panicking about it
Ecosystem-tending through comparative pricing
