Hello
Thank you for being here with me today—I truly appreciate it!
Well, well… the winter goo torch has officially been passed to me, and let me tell you—this is not something I’m looking to hand off to anyone else!
Coughing, loaded sinuses, and that foggy, lightheaded feeling… you know the drill.
My go-to remedy is always simple but effective: a spoonful of honey, a squeeze of fresh lemon juice (about 1/4 of a lemon), and one drop of Thieves essential oil.
Trust me, grab the Kleenex—this combination doesn’t give the icky stuff a fighting chance!
Even though I might sound a little gross right now, I’m actually feeling so much better.
Amazing how a full sinus can knock you off balance, right?
But I’ve stuck to my daily walking routine—it clears my head (literally and figuratively), and I always feel better afterward.
I’ve made small, consistent changes, like walking more and using tools like 2 capsules of Lean daily to help curb appetite and reduce inflammation.
But what’s made the biggest impact has been shifting my mindset: giving myself grace, focusing on progress instead of perfection, and celebrating every small win. In this picture, you can see I am winning.
Now, while I’ve been walking off this fog, I’ve also been thinking about how we can clear the clutter elsewhere—like in how we show up online.
Which brings me to a tip I’ve been loving for LinkedIn:
How to Beat the LinkedIn Algorithm:
Ever notice how some posts or newsletters feel easier to read because of the spacing between sentences? It’s not just a writing style—it’s a strategy.
Here’s why it works:
• Line breaks matter: Spacing sentences makes posts easier to read and more inviting. Cluttered posts? Readers bounce, and LinkedIn’s algorithm takes notice.
• Short and snappy: Short sentences with intentional line breaks keep people engaged longer.
• Fewer links, more impact: LinkedIn rewards posts that keep people on their platform. If you need to share a link, drop it in the comments instead of the main post.
What works best?
• A clean, skimmable format
• Emojis or symbols to guide the flow
• A compelling hook to make readers click “…more”
On that note, I set a weekly LinkedIn goal for myself to leave 100 comments on posts. It’s taken some practice to reach that consistently, but the results have been worth it.
This week, I hit 78 comments—not quite my goal, but those conversations still led to 7 new subscribers to my LinkedIn newsletter.
And from there, they found their way to my newsletter.
I know it’s a circle—but that’s how it works! Learning to format comments, posts, and newsletters in a way that’s easy to read is so important for creating engagement and keeping people coming back.
P.S. If you’re planning to grow your inbound leads in 2025, now’s the perfect time to freshen up your profile.
But here’s the thing—most people use their social media profiles, especially LinkedIn, as a bragging post. Instead, tell a story.
Your accomplishments are important, but weaving them into a story is far more valuable than a dry timeline of achievements.
Think about why you got started in the first place—it’s probably the same reason someone else is looking to start.
That connection is what makes your profile stand out and keeps people coming back for more. By the way – make sure you are following me on Linkedin.
