Welcome back to The Bubbles Effect, where mindset, marketing, and momentum meet 🔥In this short episode, I’m diving into two powerful themes: how Gen Z is changing the way we search online and the reminder we all need to just take the leap.We’ll explore data showing that 86% of Gen Z now searches for products on TikTok (yes, you read that right!) and what that means for your marketing strategy as the next generation’s buying power grows. Then, I’m switching gears into mindset mode with a dose of real talk about life’s brevity, trusting your gut, and moving forward...even when it’s scary.Because whether it’s trying a new platform, launching that dream idea, or simply saying yes to something new, the magic happens when you stop waiting and start doing. ✨Tune in, get inspired, and remember: just like bubbles, we rise to the top.🥂Read more here

The Bubbles Effect: Wednesday Power Hour with Ari Bliss
In this week’s Power Hour on The Bubbles Effect, I’m joined by Ari Bliss, a professional ballerina turned mindfulness coach and podcaster 🩰 Our conversation beautifully blends movement, mindset, and the magic of staying present. We talk about how early discipline (like ballet or sports) teaches lifelong lessons in collaboration, resilience, and self-awareness, even when we don’t realize it. Ari shares how she transitioned from the stage to helping others reconnect with their bodies and minds through mindfulness and movement, and why giving ourselves space to feel, move, and heal can open up powerful new energy in life and business. ❤️Whether you’re building a brand, creating content, or just trying to slow down long enough to breathe, this conversation is a gentle reminder that awareness is where momentum begins. ✨ Connect with Ari:Podcast: Growth, Grace & GratitudeYouTube: Ballet DailyInstagram & Threads: @growthandgracemindset

The Bubbles Effect: Marketing + Mindset Monday
Hey guys! Welcome to the very first episode of The Bubbles Effect, formerly Bubbles & Biz! I started this podcast back in 2019 (in my closet 🙈) with a glass of champagne and a mission to connect with other entrepreneurs. Six years later, the show has evolved just like entrepreneurship itself and now it’s where marketing, mindset, and momentum meet! In this episode, I’m kicking things off by sharing how my marketing journey began 20 years ago as an intern at Microsoft. From learning creative strategy (before social media even existed!) to understanding the power of brand loyalty, that experience shaped everything I do today.I’ll also share my biggest marketing tip, how to blend creativity and strategy to build lasting connections, and a mindset reminder that it’s always okay to evolve. Whether you’re rebranding, shifting directions, or simply craving something new in your business, this is your permission slip to make the change.Because just like bubbles, we rise to the top. 🥂Get the weekly newsletter here: https://nb.marketing/freebies

On this week’s Power Hour, I’m joined by Tianna Mamalick, an SEO + content strategist and founder of SMB Marketing School. 🥂We dig into what SEO really means in 2025 (hint: it’s inseparable from content), how AI is changing discovery without replacing the basics, and why “zero-click” answers and multi-path customer journeys demand clearer messaging than ever. Tianna breaks down technical vs. practical SEO in plain English, the role of backlinks again, and why your Google Business Profile is a must, even for service-area businesses. We also chat Threads (we both love it!) and the difference between branding flair and the clarity Google, and your buyers, actually need. 🙌Quick wins you can tackle today:Add clear service/product categories to your homepage and link to dedicated pages.Create separate pages for each core service (no more “one giant services page”).Claim + complete your Google Business Profile and load it with plain-spoken keywords.Connect with Tianna: smbmarketingschool.com and @smbmarketingschool on Threads/Instagram.If this episode helped, share it with a fellow biz owner and leave a review!
