I stopped posting on LinkedIn for 7 years.

Not because I was “too busy.”

Because I was afraid my coworkers would see the real me - what I was thinking, planning, or doing ouside the office.

I was a Marketing Director.
Single mom.
On a “Safe” corporate path.

And I worried:

- My boss would think I was looking for a new job
- My team would judge my content
- People would roll their eyes at my coaching and newsletter work

So I stayed quiet.

I built skills.
I built systems.
I even built income streams.

But I did it silently in the dark.

No posts.
No voice.
No real visibility.

Then one day, I realized that staying silent was costing me more than being seen.

I was coaching creators on showing up online…
while hiding my own story.

So I started small.

→ I shared one post about leaving corporate without burning bridges.
→ I talked about how I built my newsletter and my first $1,000 month.
→ I opened up about deleting 967 subscribers and why it grew my business.

I expected judgment from coworkers.

Here’s what I got instead:

- DMs from colleagues asking how to start a side business
- Old coworkers asking for help with email automation and systems
- Clients who said, “I’ve been reading your posts for months. I’m ready to work with you.”

The fear was so loud it had paralyzed me for 7 years.
But the backlash never came.

Every time I posted:

→ My network got clearer on what I do.
→ My opportunities increased.
→ My income streams became more stable.

Not because I went viral.
Because I stopped hiding.

You might be where I was:

- Sitting in a corporate role with bigger dreams
- Afraid your coworkers will talk
- Afraid your manager will notice
- Afraid to share what you really want to build

Here is what I tell my clients now:

- You don’t need to post everything.
- You do need to post something.
- You can share your expertise without attacking your employer.
- You can build options without burning bridges.

For 7 years, I let fear of scrutiny keep me quiet.

Now my content is the reason I can:

→ Run a newsletter-first business
→ Coach founders and creators
→ Consult on CRM, email automation, building a business with multiple income streams, and Substack growth

All while creating more safety for myself and my family than any single paycheck ever gave me.

If you’ve been hiding on LinkedIn because of your coworkers, this is your sign:

Start with one honest post.
One simple story.
One clear offer to help.

You don’t need permission to build a life that fits you.

You just need to stop letting other people’s opinions run your career.

I deleted 967 subscribers on purpose.

It felt scary as hell.

My brain was spiraling: “You worked so hard for these," and "What will my sponsors think?"

But here's the thing.

A dead list hurts your business.

I used to wait a year, then do one huge, painful cut.

Now I do a small one each month.

Here is how I choose who leaves:

→ No opens in 180 days
→ Repeated bounces
→ Spam complaints or clear “not interested”

Before anyone goes, I run a short win‑back campaign:

Email 1: “Still want these emails?”
Email 2: best posts, clear link to stay
Email 3: “Last call”, easy unsubscribe

No click. No reply. They go.

The first time, my stomach hurt.
Now it feels like cleaning my closet.

Result:

Higher opens.
Stronger deliverability.
More clicks and paid subs from a smaller list.

You do not need a big list.

You need a clean one that wants to hear from you.

What is your current list clean‑up routine?

Three years ago I walked away from a safe corporate paycheck.

Now my portfolio of paychecks has passed six figures.

I didn't work more hours.

I built systems.

Year one, I focused on consulting.

Retainer clients paid for deep work on CRM, email strategy, and automation.

When those systems were developed and running on smoothly, I added coaching.

1:1 calls helped creators grow newsletters & launch Substack.

Next came digital products.

Playbooks, templates, and swipe files delivered my process without my time.

Afterward, I launched a small membership.

Group support, live sessions, more access to me.

The last piece was full newsletter monetization.

Paid tiers, sponsors, and services linked to my list created a real portfolio of paychecks.

One income stream at a time.

Each with a clear offer, simple delivery, and strong automation.

Three years later, my income feels more stable than a single salary.

Let me know your thoughts on building a portfolio of paychecks.

I help women coaches build a client-generating machine through an email list (without chasing referrals or posting daily) | DM 'info' to get started.

I help women coaches, consultants, and solopreneurs turn their email list into a steady flow of buyers without constant posting, chasing leads, or trying to “stay visible.”

Most women know they should be using email to sell…
but instead, their list sits silent.

Why?
Because they don’t have a funnel that nurtures, builds trust, and converts.

That’s where I come in.

I build done-for-you automated email funnels, including:

1. lead magnet strategy + creation
2. opt-in landing page
3. welcome sequence
4. nurture + sales sequence
5. segmentation + tagging
6. full automation setup & optimization

So your subscribers move from:
“Who is she?” → “I trust her.” → “I want to work with her.”
without you having to be online 24/7.

If you want a system that sells your offers while you focus on your zone of genius…

Send me a message today, and we’ll chat about how we can make it happen together.

They say: “Nobody is coming to save you.”

But honestly?

Many people have saved me…
most of them without even trying.

A smile from a stranger on a heavy day.
An animal showing up at the right moment.
A sentence someone said casually… that stayed with me for years.
A friend who noticed something was “off” before I even said a word.
A loved one checking in, randomly, when I needed it most.

We save each other every day.
In ways that look insignificant from the outside.

Even the people who hurt you.
The ones who called you rude, mean...
The person who left.
The opportunity you didn’t get.
The job that rejected you.
The door slammed shut.
The block. The silence.

All of it shaped you.
Redirected you.
Protected you in ways you couldn’t see at the time.

So no… maybe no superhero is coming.
But we are saving each other.
Every single day.

In small, human, unseen ways.
And … that’s more than enough.

New year.

Everyone’s doing vision boards again.
Goals.
Pinterest.
Pretty quotes.
“This is MY year” energy.

Cute.

I did that too. For years ( I STILL)

I’d get excited.
Save anything that looked “successful.”
Manifest without actually knowing what I wanted.

Money? Umm… more?
Business? Something profitable?
Life? Just… better than this 

I didn’t actually know what I wanted.
I just knew I wanted more, something different.

When you start from zero, like real zero, that’s normal.
You don't have a map. No plan. No, “this is my path.”

Only vibes and confusion.

And listen... That’s the process.

Clarity doesn’t magically appear on Jan 1st.
It comes after you try stuff. You show up. You try something. You get lost.
You try again.

And slowly… things start making sense.
That’s why some goals haven’t happened yet.

Not because you failed or you’re lazy.
But because you weren’t ready inside yet.

And I don’t mean “ready” in a motivational-poster way.
I mean, ready inside.

Imagine getting the 50k/month you keep dreaming about
while still having money trauma and no idea how to handle it.

Chaos.

Imagine getting married
when you’re not mentally ready for a partnership.
Also chaos.

Sometimes getting what you want too fast doesn't take you to heaven
It’s taking you to hell :)

So if this year or last year still feels quieter, slower, unclear…
If you don’t fully know what you want yet…

Relax.

You’re figuring it out, like the rest of us (even the ones pretending they have it all together).

Clarity comes from moving.

So MOVEEEE

Here's the easiest email marketing upgrade you can make so people can recognize your emails in their messy inbox.

Before that, answer this question:

When your email lands in someone’s inbox…
does it look like it came from a human
or from a random system no one trusts?

And this is where most women coaches & solopreneur miss the nuance.

You think inbox performance is either copy or vibes.
It’s both.

Think of it like this:

A great subject line is the invitation.
Your profile picture is showing up at the door, looking familiar instead of anonymous.

Okey? 

People open emails from faces they recognize!! Like any other platform.

So what you'll do is to add a real profile picture to the email address you send your newsletter from.

Not a logo. Not a Canva icon.

Your face. (with a friendly smile, please, no angry faces)
I recommend using the picture you already have on your LinkedIn profile

It’s small.
But psychologically? It’s powerful.

Same email.
Same copy.
Different perception.

And perception is what decides opens… and sales.

And yes .... this is exactly the kind of detail I look at when I audit emails ;)

ALERT 🚩 I’m not saying this will magically double your open rates.

I am saying it helps your emails feel more human in a very crowded inbox. & If you don't want to add it, you don't have too!

Women are burning out because they’re building success like men.

And then blaming themselves when their body can’t keep up.
When they’re tired all the time.

Your body, your nervous system, your emotions… they’re wired differently.

We carry and feel more than others.
We process life inside our bodies.

So when women are told to:
“hustle harder,” “push through” “work like a machine,” “rest later.”

Something inside us slowly breaks, right?

Because constant urgency isn’t natural for us.
Endless grinding isn’t nourishing.

And competing with men on their rhythm disconnects us from ourselves.

I’m sharing this from my own experience, and I’m sure many of you have been there or are experiencing it right now.

Women burned out.
Always tired, always stressed.
Always thinking something is wrong with them.

Babeeeee
Nothing is wrong with you, okay?

You’re just forcing yourself into a system that ignores your nature.

We need more rest, more slowness, and more space to receive.

Working less and receiving more isn’t laziness, as you were told. Clean out these misconceptions from your mind.

And if you're a Muslim woman, you'll already know how gentle Allah is with women, didn't you notice how much time he repeated:

“لا تحزني” "Don't be sad"

"Eat and drink and soothe your eyes."
“كلي واشربي وقري عينا”

There is softness in divine wisdom, and a permission to rest.

There is care for your emotional world, and deep inside you already know this; you just decided to ignore it.

And one thing that truly matters:

Surround yourself with people who understand your nature.
People who don’t shame you for resting.
Who doesn’t call you lazy when you slow down.
Who doesn’t dismiss you as “too emotional” when your body is simply being a body.

Even if that means being alone for a while.

Choose your clients wisely
Choose your friends wisely
Choose your husband wisely 

Your environment plays a big role; it can either destroy you or help you shine and rise.

How to know? Your body knows.

If you’re a woman coach or solopreneur who struggles every week with
“What should I write to my email list?”
 this is for you.

Every week it’s the same scene:

Laptop open.
Coffee cold.
Brain empty.
“Ugh… what do I even write about this week??”

And then you blame yourself like:
“Maybe I’m not creative enough.”
“Maybe I already said everything.”

No babe. You’re just overthinking and looking in the wrong place.

The thing is, your clients are already handing you topics for free.

In your last client call, your coaching session, your program recordings, etc...

Let me give you an example.

A client says on a call:
“I know my offer is good… I just freeze when I need to say the price.”

Thiiiis
That’s an email topic you can use.

Problem? 
"Freezing when it’s time to say the price."

Solution (what YOU teach)?
"One simple pricing reframe or sentence you coach them to use."

TADAAA

That’s your email topic
Not “5 tips to sell with confidence,” or some fluffy mindset talk.

A real moment. From a real client. With a real problem.
That’s how your emails will convert.

WHY? Because they solve a real problem and make the reader feel understood.

So next time you think:
“I don’t know what to write to my list…”

Ask yourself:
“What did a client struggle with out loud this week?”

Then open your last call transcript and borrow your client’s exact words.

If your list is full of people who never engage,
your sales emails will suffer no matter how good they are.

Before I wrote a single sales email for a client,
I made her do something uncomfortable.

We segmented her list.

Engaged readers → one group
Never opened → another group

Then we sent a re-engagement email to the silent group. (3 emails)

And.....we got zero replies. Not one :)

That was actually a good thing; we called it "clarity".

Simply, those people weren’t “cold leads.” They just weren’t her people anymore.

So we cleaned the list.
Only then, we build the conversion sequence.

Why is this important? 

Because emails are all about communicating with the right audience. 
It won’t yield results, no matter how great your copy or strategy is. 

First, make sure to clean up your room, allowing only the right people to stay. Then serve them with dishes and recipes that you know will make them choose you repeatedly ;)

And voilaaaa 

That’s how conversions stop feeling forced and start feeling natural.

One thing that helped me write emails that actually move people?

Not a template, funnel hack or a “best subject line” trick.

My natural talents.

And before you roll your eyes :) stay with me.

Most emails don’t convert because they’re technically fine…
but emotionally empty.

They sound correct, polished.
They sound like something everyone has already read.

So what I lean on instead:

1️⃣Imagination.
I don’t write to “my list.”
I picture one person reading the email on their phone, tired, distracted, quietly worried.
& I ask myself: If I were her/him, what would I need to hear right now?

That alone changes everything.

2️⃣Empathy.
I assume overwhelm.
Fear. Confusion.
Wanting help without wanting to be sold to.
So I meet them there not above them.

3️⃣Intuition.
If a sentence feels impressive but cold, I delete it.
If something feels honest but imperfect, I keep it.
Your body knows when something is off, trust it.

4️⃣Emotional intelligence.
I don’t try to convince. I reflect.
People buy when they feel understood, not when they feel educated.

This is why some people can “do everything right” in email marketing
and still get silence.

And why others write simple emails that convert without sounding salesy at all.

Remeber this: Emails fail when you’re writing from your head instead of from the room your reader is sitting in.

That’s the real skill.
And yes ... it can be learned.
But it starts with paying attention to how humans actually feel.

If you’ve ever thought,
“My emails are good… so why isn’t this turning into clients?”
This is usually the missing piece.
