It's 4am Saturday night and I wake up to find my 2.5-year-old standing at the edge of our bed. I first thought he must have fallen out of his crib and hurt himself. But no, TZ had figured out how to escape. The next day I asked him to show me his technique. He popped out of his Woolino sleep sack, swung one leg over the crib rail, stepped onto the nearby rocking chair, and climbed down like it was nothing. (With his trusty lion pillow and water bottle in hand, of course.) For months, I'd been asking if he wanted a big boy bed. "No, I like my crib," he'd say. So we kept him there... and experts say it's fine until age 3. But TZ decided he was ready on his own timeline. After two nights of 4am visits (and trying unsustainable solutions like sleeping on his floor or him in our bed 🙃), I realized we needed to pivot fast. I talked to ChatGPT about what to do, rushed out to buy new bedding with rockets and hot air balloons, and when I got home, my husband had already converted the crib to a toddler bed. We let TZ choose his sheets and made it a celebration. "You're a big boy now! This is your special place and you have the power to get in and out of your own bed." Instead of treating this sudden change as stressful or disruptive, we turned it into a milestone worth celebrating. And you know what? It worked. Kind of. (Bedtime now takes 60-90 minutes, but we're getting there – send help.) This got me thinking about how we handle unexpected change in business, too. Sometimes your audience outgrows what you've set up for them. Maybe they're asking for more advanced help. Or maybe they're ready to invest more than you assumed. Instead of holding them back, what if you celebrated their growth and created something that meets them where they are? Like I mentioned a couple weeks ago from Rachel Rodgers' Barcelona event... People are craving high-touch experiences right now. If you've been getting signals that your audience is ready for premium support... Ie: people asking for one-on-one help, wanting more advanced strategies, or ready to invest seriously in results... It might be time to create your first high-ticket offer. 👉 High Ticket Vault shows you exactly how to package your expertise into $1,000+ offers that your best clients will love. (Hint: Use code "OVHIGHTICKET" to save $100) For example: I live in Barcelona, but most of my customers are in Canada + the USA. I can't do scheduled calls right now. But I *can* still share my expertise with a handful of clients through Telegram coaching. The premise is simple: we get connected on Telegram, Whatsapp or Voxer... the client sends me a voice or text message anytime... and they'll get a response back from me within 24 hours. Either text or voice. I'll share links to my best resources, Loom video demos when needed, and we'll wrap everything up with a 60-minute Zoom call to map out their plan going forward. It's a win-win for everyone running businesses, juggling family life, and living in different timezones. Just goes to show that high-ticket offers don't have to be complex... but can still meet your clients where they're at as they reach new milestones. ~ Elise P.S. Just like TZ knew he was ready for a big boy bed before I did, your audience might be ready for premium offers before you realize it.

Last week, I shared my birth story over on Instagram and TikTok, something I've been meaning to do for months but haven't had the headspace for. The response blew me away. Close to 1 million views over on TikTok, people sharing their own birth stories, and thanking me for being real about the hard parts. Now I'm a girl mom. And something I’ve been thinking about lately is that one day, my daughter (we call her Bunny) will hear her own birth story. The real story – including all the fear,...
I was scrolling my FB feed last week, when an ad popped up that actually stopped my scroll: Rachel Rodgers was hosting an event in Barcelona. This never happens, I thought. Most online business events are in the U.S. which I haven't traveled to since 2024. And now there was one right in my city!? I bought a ticket, put my now 3-month-old daughter, Bunny, in her stroller, and wheeled over to the cafe. Rachel called the event "In the Room" and it was about 10 people total, mostly expats, plus a...
Baby is napping. I'm making my scrambled eggs this morning. And I asked myself: why haven't I posted this week? Granted... I'm coming back to work after 3 months off, and while the bar is low, I realized that there were several excuses tumbling around in my head: 1️⃣ My tripod sucks (barely holds my phone up) so I can't film b-roll. 2️⃣ I only have one pair of jeans that fit me comfortably so I can't keep filming b-roll in the same clothes. 3️⃣ I need to review every second of every video ad...
