  • 88 - The Visibility Series: How To Stand Out When You're Using Facebook Ads
    Apr 9 2026

    One of the main obstacles I hear from coaches who are launching or scaling programs:

    Fear of visibility - in some shape or form.

    If you're just starting, it can feel paralyzing to go from deciding "I'm launching a group program" to actually putting yourself out there and doing it.

    And quite frankly, people freeze in this phase. I don't want that for you!

    And it happens again in the scaling phase. When you start getting in front of new audiences, a fear of visibility can come up again... Just in a different way.

    That's why in this series we're talking all about Visibility, and practical ways to put yourself out there (when you're really starting to sweat!).


    In this Part 2 episode, we're diving into SCALING your group program - using Facebook Ads.

    • Why the fear of "getting the angle wrong" is one of the most common visibility blocks when scaling with ads, and why ads actually give you faster, more honest feedback than organic content ever will
    • How to find your ad angle using one of two simple frameworks (even if you can speak for an hour on your topic but freeze the moment someone says "keep it to 60 seconds"!)
    • Why your natural energy is your actual differentiator (not your formula, your hook structure, or how polished your video looks!) and how to bring that out in your content

  • 86 - Is It Time To Get A... Job? How to Know if You're Cut Out to Be an Entrepreneur
    Mar 26 2026

    Have you ever hit the moment where you think...

    "Maybe I'm just not cut out for this".

    Maybe you're just "not meant" to be an entrepreneur. Maybe you should just go back and get a job. Maybe it's something that is meant for other people, but not for you.

    Maybe you're feeling that way right now.

    I want you to know that this is SO common, and I've absolutely been there.


    In this episode, you'll hear:

    • Why I used to worry this same thing, and how I overcame it (and no, it's not because I've always seen myself as an entrepreneur)
    • How to know if it's time to get a part time job (or even a full time one), without feeling like a failure for doing it
    • And if you do decide to stick with entrepreneurship, the one vital thing you need in place in your business to make it work (and that most entrepreneurs are missing)

    Consider this permission to do what you need... and a pep talk to encourage you that you can create the life that you truly want.

    And if it helped in any way, I'd love to hear from you. Leave me a rating here or send me a DM at laurenmonique.business on instagram. I'd love to hear from you.
