The Bubbles Effect

Marketing is changing, and there are some updates worth putting on your radar 🔍
In this Marketing + Mindset Monday episode, I share three marketing developments small business owners should be paying attention to as you start thinking about your 2027 strategy.
Inside this episode:
Instagram goes long-form: What the new 90-minute vertical video capability could mean for your content strategy.

Meet Muse AI: How Meta's new AI agent can help you streamline operations, analyze marketing performance, manage projects, and uncover opportunities in your business.

Pinterest is having a moment: Why its growing Gen Z audience makes it a platform worth reconsidering.

Then, we shift to a mindset check-in! With just 60 days left in 2026, it's time to revisit those goals, get intentional with your time, and build some momentum before January 1, 2027 🔥
Because you don't have to wait until a new year to start making things happen.
Your takeaway: Pick one marketing update to explore and one goal to recommit to before the year ends.
Let's finish 2026 strong! 🥂

Seven Years of The Bubbles Effect: Reinvention, Redefining Success & Becoming More You
Seven years, countless conversations, and a whole lot of evolution. 🥂
To celebrate the 7th anniversary of The Bubbles Effect, I brought back 4 previous guests for an honest, unfiltered roundtable about how much life and business can change, and the versions of ourselves we never expected to become. ❤️
From navigating business losses, major life transitions, and unexpected new beginnings to letting go of old definitions of success, this conversation explores what happens when we stop trying to fit the mold and start building lives that actually feel like our own.
Join me, Allie Casazza, Mandie Brice, Aria Uanani, and Tavia Wooley for a fun refection personal growth, identity, ambition, motherhood, relationships, and the freedom that comes with caring less about what everyone else thinks.
In this episode, we talk about:
The unexpected versions of ourselves we've become

Redefining success beyond bigger businesses, bigger stages, and external validation

Navigating setbacks, loss, and the messy middle of reinvention

Finding the courage to show up authentically and take up space

Why peace, freedom, and alignment can matter more than proving yourself

Celebrating how far you've come, even when you're still figuring out what's next

Consider this your reminder that you don't have to have it all figured out to be proud of how far you've come. ✨
Sometimes growth means moving forward. Sometimes it means reclaiming the parts of yourself you left behind.
Here's to seven years of conversations, countless versions of ourselves, and everything still ahead! Thank you so much for listening, sharing and supporting over the years!
We're built to win. Made to celebrate. 🥂

What if the next level of your business isn’t about doing more... but becoming the person who can confidently lead it there? ✨
In this episode of The Bubbles Effect, I sit down with Nora Virginia, business and identity coach, breathwork facilitator, and host of the top 2.5% podcast Glow Up to Blow Up. Nora shares how she went from a career in corporate finance to helping entrepreneurs build businesses that align with who they want to become. ❤️
Together, we explore the connection between identity and business growth, why manifestation requires more than positive thinking, and how limiting beliefs can quietly influence the decisions we make. 💫
Nora also shares practical ways to interrupt negative self-talk and explains how breathwork can help us reconnect with our bodies, shift our emotional state, and uncover what may be holding us back.
Because building a successful business isn’t just about having the right strategy. It’s about building the confidence, self-belief, and inner foundation to bring that strategy to life!

In this Bubbly Convo, I sit down with Chris D’Avanzo, founder of NIL in Motion, to talk sports, entrepreneurship, branding, and intellectual property. 🏀⚖️
We chat about Chris’s journey from athlete and basketball coach to law, why protecting your brand matters (even when you’re just getting started), building your network, staying consistent with marketing, and the lessons from athletics that carry over into entrepreneurship. 🥂

Y'all, there are 100 days until January 1st. 🥂
In this short episode of The Bubbles Effect, I'm back behind the microphone for the first time since May with a simple question: What could change in your business or life over the next 100 days if you started now?And you don't have to wait until the New Year, tomorrow, Monday, etc. to start becoming the version of yourself you keep talking about.

I created a simple 100-Day Challenge Playbook with a few questions to help you think about who you want to be on January 1st, what you want to change over the next 100 days, and what you can start doing today.
Grab it the playbook here

We're talking about setting intentions before the new year, taking small steps toward big goals, letting go of the need to have every detail figured out, and using the final 100 days of 2026 to create some serious momentum heading into 2027.

I'm also sharing a little about what's next for The Bubbles Effect, including the return of Marketing + Mindset episodes, Friday Bubbly Conversations, and a little teaser for something special happening October 23rd, Global Champagne Day. 🥂
You don't need the perfect plan.
You just need to start.
Here's to the next 100 days, y'all! 🥂
Quick correction from the episode: I mentioned Q3 beginning October 1st... I meant Q4! Apparently I was so excited to be back behind the microphone that I briefly forgot how quarters work. 😂
