Three behind-the-scenes shares today, my friend:

1) I posted this hilarious/tough memory from last year on my IG and it appears many of us have been in this same boat! Click the pic to read the comments:

Yep, that sure is a true story from this past autumn. Can you relate??? Comment and tell me all about it. And btw if you do relate, you're still awesome. You're out there DOING the thing, and trying.

Do you know how many people never even try?! You're way ahead of like, sooo many people. Go get yourself some tacos RIGHT. NOW.

Btw, I'll be launching my social media content strategy course again later this year. Join the waitlist here if you'd like me to send you the deets so you too can [skip the live webinar I've poured my heart and soul into and instead] catch the replay! 😉

Or listen to podcast ep 3 for a slimmed down audio version of the training and you don't have to wait at all!

2) Quick update on some biz goals intentions I mentioned back in a March email. I had said, “I know I could be doing a better job at list growth. In fact, my goal is to double the size of my email list in 2025.”

As you can see, that was also on my list back in 2024:

Well. This week, I completed a truly awesome weeklong bootcamp (not an aff link) with Facebook ads expert, Zach Spuckler. It was only $25, but that investment got me to SHOW UP and do the work.

[See how the beginning of this email talked about how nobody showed up to that one masterclass? Yah, it was free. No skin-in-the-game? No butt-in-the-seat. Def has my wheels turning for future events and things!! Okay, Alycia… stay on track and get to the point.]

ANYWAY.

I first learned FB ads in 2011 when I was still working in theater. However, sooooooo much has changed even over the last year that I knew there was no way I was giving Zuckerberg one damn dollar until I brushed up on what's current, etc.

After last week's bootcamp, check out these spikes:

I'm so excited to welcome these new friends into my online universe! (And btw, this was with me spending just $5/day.) My ads are currently paused while I decide what I'd like to promote next, but I am excited and re-energized about the whole thing.

Will I double the size of my email list by the end of 2025? I'll let you know!

BTW, are you running ads right now? Do ya love it / hate it / feel totally confused by it? Would love to know what you think. Reply and tell me.

3) I’m currently in a big-ass collaboration situation w/ my ChatGPT robot to do this huge mindmapping thingy, where I'm basically like braindumping into it so that I can dig into my whooooooole biz, including…

::takes huge breath::

ALL as a first step to getting some shit organized this year, finally! Wanting to unify and make it all make sense. Then I can review it and get clarity on some things... find holes + opportunities, etc... then can work on revising things like my welcome sequence, web pages, offers, links, etc etc etc.

Have you ever done something like this? Reply and tell me more cuz I'm sweating over here but also excited for the dopamine hit that'll come.

(Btw, until my things are properly organized on my site and in all the places… my linktree has nearly everything listed there. Freebies, downloads, packages, tools, etc. Give it a scroll to see everything in one spot. And of course I'd LOVE it if you'd buy something, heh heh heh. Might I suggest a 1:1 Empower Hour session w/ yours truly???)
