Step one, step two, step three, go to stefaniegass.com for more details for pricing, we’ll get going. All right, let’s do this. We have talked about websites a few times, but I really(04:56):
Just, I wanted to give you a straight shooter episode about websites now that I’ve absolutely done it all. So I’m running P2P right now on the girls were at the point where we build sales pages out for your programs and courses. And they are looking at me, some of them go on, I don’t have a website stuff and that’s totally fine. And I’ve given them a workaround that I think could also work for you.
(05:22):
And so I just want us to talk you guys through, you know, number one, do you need a website to, what do you do if you don’t have one or have the money to make one, and then number three, where should you host a number four? What if you’re ready to go? You know, all in you’re ready to have a baller website. What does that actually cost? And what does that actually look like?
(05:40):
So it’s going to be super, super juicy. So guys, I remember back in the day when I first got started blogging in 20 16, 17, when I was having the Stefanie Gass breakdown, Brittany Spears year. And it wasn’t pretty, but I decided I was going to blog. Yay. I went onto Pinterest and started looking at what everyone else was doing, thinking that’s what I should do. So I had blog posts about styling, your mantle.
(06:06):
I had blog posts about packing for trips, styling for photo shoots. This is hilarious. This is the girl who likes to wear a PJ all day mile high mom buttons and Uggs slippers to work. Definitely unqualified to be a lifestyle blogger, but it’s fine. You know, we all go through our journeys in our own unique way. Anyhow, basically I started this blog and it became my website that just grew with me.
(06:36):
So what I did is I just started super scrappy. I actually started out with Weebly, which I think was totally fine. It was a drag and drop website, builder, easy peasy. It had a little bit of flexibility. So you could upload your own pictures. You had your own colors, et cetera. So I did like that. It was great for beginners.
(06:54):
I also found down the line that we believe is actually a moderate option when it comes to SEO, which I had no idea about SEO or keywords at the time, but I’m really glad that I picked something in the middle. So that’s what I started with. And it was fine. It was definitely pretty busted at the time. Then I started working with Allie in around 2019 and she helped me. She created some new branding.
(07:21):
I wanted to stick with the colors I had already chosen. So even though they weren’t me, I just went with it. And so she created a new banner. She did what she could, but because it was a website builder, there really wasn’t that much flexibility for her. And it was fine. I would say it was like 60% awesome,
(07:37):
60% awesome. Now, as I would create programs, Sam’s
(07:40):
Courses, coaching, et cetera, I would need new sales pages. And I would actually build those sales pages in my landing page software, which is get response. Why did I do that? Because it was just easier. It was drag and drop. It was super simple and it was scrappy and it definitely got the job done.
You guys in all of those years of having my own drag and drop website that I built 80% of it, myself, Allie threw in a few graphics for me and then scrappy sales pages that were built on a landing page software.
(08:09):
I built a multi six-figure business. Why is that? Well, the fact is, is that it’s all about the way that you’re conveying your belief, that your stuff is the answer to their problems. Okay. So it’s in the messaging. It’s in my voice, it’s in my conviction. It’s in my authority that I believe with all of my heart and soul, that my courses and programs will get you where I want you to be.
(08:31):
They will get you where you want to be. If you do the work, if you show up for them and that’s why everybody bought, they didn’t buy because my website was fancy because it wasn’t now fast forward to today. Obviously, as you guys know, I went through a rebrand in March and I went from The Mompreneur Mastermind Show to The Stefanie Gass Show. When I did that, God gave me new colors.
(08:52):
He gave me a new vision for the brand. I mean, holy spirit was all up in that. And I told Allie, I’m like, all right, girl, it’s your time. You get to pick where we were going to host the website. We’re going to do an entire overhaul of this brand. So for the next, let’s see, April, may, June three months, Allie worked tirelessly on my new brand and we actually migrated the website over to show it.
(09:16):
Now show it is not for the faint of heart. You guys, it is not a easy peasy, drag and drop website builder. Okay. They do have templates, which is helpful if you’re going to build your own. But she literally built my website code by code from scratch. And it was the project of her lifetime. And she will probably never do that again. I don’t know.
(09:37):
I can’t speak for her, hit her up if you want a custom website. Oh my gosh. But the point of that is like, I now have a legit website and I feel so excited about it. And I’m so pumped, but I am so glad I didn’t wait nine years to do it. If I hadn’t started with what I had, I wouldn’t have had, have had the money to even pay her, to build the things that we’ve just built.
(09:59):
You know? So you have to start scrappy and simple. You have to start with where you’re at and then know, start scrappy and then scale, okay. Start scrappy and scale to success. All the SS star scrappy and then scale to success because you’re not going to start perfect. You can’t, you can’t afford it. What’s the point. It starts scrappy, make some money and then reinvest that money into your business. So that’s what happened for me.
(10:21):
You guys can go look at my amazing website at stefaniegass.com. I can say that because I didn’t do it myself, all credit, all of it, 100% credit to Ale Merino. And if you guys want her to create all your branding and your website and your at that point, she also has really affordable options where you can just get a template.
It’s a lot easier. I’m going to talk about all the options in a moment, but you can get in touch with her at ahappymompreneur.com or ale.merino@gmail.com.
(10:47):
Okay. So first question, now that you’ve heard my evolution, do I need a website? Yes you do. Yes. You do. Your website is going to be the cover of your, the back of your book. So I want you guys to imagine you have a book. Okay? This is the book of your brand on the front of the book is your podcast. That’s why it’s most important to get your podcast going before.
(11:09):
Any thing else, if we don’t have people to collect and we don’t have all the girls to bring to the yard, if you know what I mean, we can’t funnel them to anything. A website, a course, a coaching offer an email. It doesn’t matter because you don’t have anybody to sell to. So first thing is your podcast. That is number one. Number one podcastprouniversity.com.
(11:29):
Okay. Number two, once you have your podcast going, I believe is to actually create something, to monetize the show with. Kay. So you’re going to create a coaching, offer your program or your course, which is in podcast to profit the program. I’m about to kick off again in August. Now at the same time that you’re creating your course program or way that you’re going to monetize the show, you have to have a place to sell it.
(11:56):
So you creating a simple website, goes hand in hand with you monetizing the podcast. It’s really not either. Or you have to do them at the same time, because otherwise, where do people go to buy the things? So yes, you need a website. It’s the back of your book. So once you have your podcast and you have, that’s the cover of your book, you have the things in the podcast, which is the content of the book that you’re beginning.
(12:20):
You don’t have to have much chapter one. Chapter two is plenty. You’re starting to monetize, which is going to be the way you’re going to make money with the book. It’s the price of the book. And then on the back of the website, you have everything you need. That’s it, that’s it. All the other little things are icing on the cake. Guys, your social media marketing strategy that’s has nothing to do with your book. Okay. It’s just visibility.
(12:40):
You’re running paid ads, nothing to do with the book, nothing to do with the book. That’s extra marketing. You just need the book. That’s all you need for six months. Okay. So what do we put on the back of that book? Right? What do we put on our website? Let’s talk about scrappy to start out. Let’s just talk about super simple scrappy guys. If you have MailChimp or mailer light, I know I’m getting real scrappy with you right now.
(13:06):
You can set up a one page temporary website for free. All you’re going to do is use your landing page inside of MailChimp or MailerLite. And you’re going to build a simple website, one pager guys. This is not going to be pretty. It’s going to look super simple and it’s probably going to be a little busted. Well, it’s free. So what are you going to do? That’s a great place to start. If you are like actually at $0 and you just can’t, that’s fine.
(13:34):
We all start somewhere. Now what I would prefer you do, what I would prefer you to do is to hire Allie and start with her smallest website option, which is a one-page website, which she will build for you in Squarespace. Let’s talk about that for a second. So now we’ve talked about free and scrappy. What if you want something super, super inexpensive.
(13:54):
That’s really easy to do. There really are three options that are the major players. Okay. One is Wix. Two is Weebly and three would be WordPress. Now everybody on planet earth will tell you, you have to do WordPress. You have to do WordPress. Well. Okay. Maybe, maybe you do, but I want to tell you about these other options, because I think that it really just depends on you on what you want and where you’re at.
(14:18):
And I don’t believe there’s one answer for every person except that you have to have a podcast. Okay. That is non-negotiable. So number one is Wix. Wix is your easiest drag and drop website builder. Okay. But it’s the worst. When it comes to SEO, keywords and growth scaling, okay, it’s going to be your least flexible option, but it’s super affordable and it’s very, very easy. Are you going to have to migrate from Wix?
(14:42):
Yes. At some point you are number two is Weebly. That’s the one that I had for gosh, seven years, eight years maybe not, maybe like five years. It was great. It’s drag and drop. It’s simple. It’s super affordable. I literally think I paid 150 bucks a year. You guys super, super easy. I’m not going to break the bank now. It’s not it’s medium. When it comes to SEO keywords and all of those things, it’s in the middle.
(15:08):
It does have blog capability, which I think Wix does as well. But it’s a little, a little more flexible. Okay. Do you have to migrate from Weebly? You don’t have to, but if you’re going to go bigger, go home in the future. I’m talking when you guys are making two to 500 K a year, you’re probably going to need to move and migrate, but great, great problem to have you’ll have the money to pay someone to migrate you.
(15:30):
Okay. I will say, oh my gosh, I am migrating every single blog post all the way back from 2018. And it’s going to be a big chunk of change. You guys. Cause we are manually migrating all of that. Hopefully by the time you get there, they have some type of like click a button migration. But anyway, the point is, if you get started on Wix or Weebly, I do want you to have the perspective that you probably will migrate in the future to something legit.
(15:56):
No problem. No worries. You start with where you’re at. Do you only have $200? Those are going to be your options. Okay. Number three is to go with WordPress. WordPress is going to be your best option when it comes to SEO and marketability for a template or drag and drop based website builder. Okay. It’s a little bit more, it’s harder to use.
(16:15):
You need to have a basic understanding of coding. If you want to have anything customized whatsoever, it does have blog capability. This is going to be your beginning. Your biggest blog host is going to be a WordPress with maybe a Squarespace host or something like that. This is the one that Allie can set up for you guys at a really inexpensive cost, which a one-page or a three-page website. All right, that’s going to be a WordPress now.
(16:42):
Number four, number four, that one’s also going to be just a tad more expensive. Okay. Number four, the fourth one is going to be called show it. This is the one that I’m on. Jenna. Kutcher’s on like all the big fancy, I’m not a fancy pants, but the big fancy panties they’re on show it. Okay. Why? Because it’s 100% customizable and it’s going to cost you.
(17:01):
It’s going to cost you. The most inexpensive plan is like 20 to $35 a month. And that’s not including a template. You have to buy a template and you know, for me, you, or you have to pay someone to completely come in and create your website from scratch in there unless you’re super baller at coding and graphic design. And that’s fine if you guys have the money and you have the finances to spend, go with show it.
(17:28):
It’s definitely the prettiest thing I’ve ever seen in my entire life. It’s amazing. I mean, go look at my website, but it took me, it took me six years to be able to afford a website like that. Okay. So those are your four options. So again, just to recap, actually we have five options. Option one is you’re going to do it simple scrappy and a little questionable.
(17:47):
You’re going to use landing page software to build a one-page website. Fine. Number two, you’re going to go with Wix super easy, not great on SEO, super cheap.
Number three, you’re going to go with Weebly drag and drop super simple a little bit scalable, but you’re probably still going to have to migrate does have blog capabilities and it’s middle priced. Number four. You’re going to go with WordPress, WordPress.
(18:10):
And typically WordPress is hosted on Squarespace. I know that’s confusing. Don’t worry, Google it. It’s fine that one’s going to be a little bit more expensive. It’s got, you’ve got to know some coding or buy a template. You probably will never migrate though. Okay. You’re good. You’re good. If you go with that one and then number four is show it, which is the one I am on and it does link with WordPress for the blogging.
(18:30):
So my blog is still on WordPress, but it links with show it, show it as your, your most has the most variety, the most opportunity for you to create something totally customizable that no one else has, but you’re going to pay for that.
(18:43):
You’re going to pay a pretty penny and, or you’ve got to know coding and designing. So that’s it. Those are your five options for hosting. What actually goes on a website. Let’s talk about that. So if you’re starting with something that’s super scrappy, simple and easy to use, you can start with a one pager seriously. And a one-page website is simply going to be the back of your book. So think about what goes on the back of a book. It’s got your title.
(19:06):
It’s got who it’s by. It’s got the mission of the book. It has the whole synopsis of the book. It has the synopsis of the author, and then it has probably a website or two, and it has some reviews or testimonies. That’s it? That’s the whole basis of a cover page. So here’s another thing to think about with a website guys for me, the way that I’ve built my sites and I’m not a website expert, but I am definitely a customer experience expert.
(19:34):
And here’s what I’m here to tell you. When someone lands on your site, they want to know what is in it for them. So you better tell me in two sections or less why I am here. That’s number one, you need to be graphically appealing. So please, as much as you seriously guys like creating something in Canva and popping it in, when it looks like it’s created from a fifth grader, do not do that. Don’t do it.
(19:58):
Spend the, spend a couple hundred dollars to have a graphics package created or better yet to have Allie just do your one pager for you or three pager. Okay. Now the next thing that I want to know is what’s free around here. Okay? So your person’s going to be asking what is free while all of you, before you start the podcast, before you start, the website are going to have your podcast, right?
(20:20):
So your podcast is the free thing. Guys, your podcast is the funnel period. End of story. The podcast. It’s not, how do I drive traffic to the podcast? It’s the podcast. That’s driving traffic everywhere else. Your SEO that I teach you in all of my courses and programs, the way that we title the content strategies, the visibility and the simple organic marketing.
(20:40):
One to many that I teach you inside a PPU and podcast to profit is what becomes the funnel. So that’s, what’s the, the first free thing they need to see on your website is your podcast. Where is it? How do they get there? Why is it amazing? And why is it for them? Okay. If you want to go a little above and beyond, put your top three episodes there for them to start with the next thing you need a social proof.
(21:02):
So put some of your testimonies from your podcast, right on the first part of your website, almost all of you. Even when you start, when you start the show, you start with 10 reviews or so some of you start with 20. Some of you start with 50, depending on how intensely you market that you have a new podcast. Those are reviews you can use on your website. Okay?
(21:22):
The next thing that we need to know is, well, how do I hang out with you? So how do I hang out with you? Well, number one, please come to my podcast, right? Wink, wink, number two, join my Facebook group. And then number three is work with me. So once you have that offer and you’ve gone through podcast to profit with me, you’re going to have a fully optimized offer. And that’s where we’re going to plug that into the website.
(21:43):
The next thing we’re going to do is we’re going to talk about what you can pay for around here. So when you have your coaching or your program, we’re going to pop in a little blurb, which I give you guys in the sales page, template and podcasts for profit. We’re going to pop that in and talk about what your paid offer is right there on the homepage. And then lastly, we need to know who are you?
(22:03):
So you just have a little synopsis of who you are and then last but not least, usually you have a footer on your website and that footer can link to your Instagram. It can tell them to come join you in your Facebook community. It can also have an opt-in if you want to have an opt-in, do you guys need an opt-in?
No, you don’t need an opt-in and I have an entire crazy, incredible training on this in podcast profit of how we collect email addresses without ever using an opt-in whoop.
(22:31):
Okay. So that’s, what’s on a homepage, easy, simple. You can have a one pager. That’s great to start with. Now, the second you have an offer and a course, you’re going to need a sales page. That’s the second must have page is the thing that you’re actually selling. All right. So when we look at what are, if you can only choose a three-page website, in my opinion, what are the pages that you must have?
(22:57):
So, number one is a homepage. Obviously number two is a work with you page because well, growing in here for free, right? You’re it’s like, what, what is the paid thing? How are you making money around here? And then the third one, I believe that you should start with is the meet. Whoever you are meet Stef page K. So you’ve got your homepage or meet you and your paid offer page coaching our courses.
(23:23):
Why don’t I have a podcast page? Because you can just on the homepage. Talk about your podcast with the buttons. It doesn’t necessarily have to have its own page. Now, once you expand to a full website, let me tell you the pages that I believe you should have meet Stef. So meet you or about you. Number one. Well, first it’s the homepage, sorry. Homepage. Then meet you.
(23:45):
Number three. Is your podcast page number four. Is your coat courses page. If you have courses or a program, number five is your coaching page. If you also coach number six is resources. Number seven is contact you a number eight is a blog. That’s like a full out gangster website. Okay. And you can go to stefaniegass.com. If you guys want to see an example of this, but those are the tabs that I would have on a full website.
(24:13):
Okay. So the next question that is coming up for all of you right now is which one do you recommend we start with? Or what should we start with if we’re just getting started and then where should we be if we are profitable. So I’m going to give you guys a few ideas of where you can start with where you are at. If you are just getting started. The first thing is you must start a podcast, okay?
(24:36):
Because there’s no reason to have a website and a perfect this and a perfect that and get the big branding kit. I mean, other than the podcast art and all these things, when you don’t have any traffic, like you’re not actually showing up anywhere, that’s going to create an audience for you. Social media is not going to create an audience for you. You guys have heard me go off on this.
(24:58):
I’m not going to go off on this right now because we don’t have time. But I’m here to tell you that your social media is just your warm market period. End of story. Get over it. Okay. If you sit there and you create a live I mean a real for three hours, you may get a thousand or 2000 views, but those people are not going to convert. It’s not long form content. Okay?
(25:18):
Now 3% of you can prove me wrong, but the 90, 97, other percent of you, it’s your, it’s a waste of your time. When you guys podcast, it’s long form content, it’s it? It hits someone’s heart. You transform them. You give them a result, you change them. And that is where they begin to trust you and say yes to you. And they want to know about you. And then they come and follow you.
(25:40):
Where do they follow you? Your socials, your Facebook group, your email lists, et cetera. So that’s step two. So number one is you must have a podcast. If you do not have a podcast, then you are going to start with clarify your calling. And then PPU guys, if you go to my website, you can learn about that.
The only reason you would skip clarify your calling is if you know that you know that you know what you do, who you serve, what you are, you have a tagline title, description and content pillars.
(26:09):
If you don’t have all those things, yet, please start with CYC because it’s going to get you all of the clarity before you start the podcast. Okay. The next thing is that once you’re done with that, you’re going to start a website. So I would love if you would just hire Allie and get the three-page website, because it’s going to look professional, but it’s super affordable.
(26:33):
That was my dryer. Super affordable. Okay. Like I’m talking under $600 somewhere around there for you to have a three page, a full-out website. K that’s also scalable because then you just add the other tabs as you can afford it and you can even copy those tabs and then just recreate them yourself. Sorry, Allie, with the other information. Okay. So starting there would be, if you can stretch, that’s where I would start.
(26:57):
Now. I would only do that after you’ve done podcast to profit with me because we’re going to first create your program course and coaching offer. Then you can go get the website to sell the thing. All right. Now, if you’re like, that’s definitely not in the budget. Absolutely cannot happen, Stefanie. Sorry. Then I would probably recommend you start with Wix or Weebly as a drag and drop and just do a one or three page yourself.
(27:20):
Knowing within 12 months, you’re going to upgrade. That’s where I would start. Now. Let’s say that you have a semi profitable business. You’re making 50 to $200,000 a year in this online business already. You are at the point where it’s time to probably have a professional website. I should have done it sooner than I did. I just knew what type of, what level of work and time it was going to take me to create eight pages of copy. Holy smokes.
(27:50):
Y’all woo girl, whoa. It’d be crazy. I also have a copywriting person that I’m getting set up for you all. We’re working through some details right now that can help you because I know that copy is not everybody’s strength. So if you’re interested in that, just shoot us an email or pop it in the Facebook group and we’ll get you linked up with her.
(28:11):
Anyways. If you’re at that point 50 to 200 K ish revenue, not net income revenue in your business, it’s time for a professional website, a few things you can do here, guys. There are lots of people who build websites. Great. Go on the internet, find somebody, ask somebody, do what you want. Allie obviously is the person that I personally recommend.
(28:31):
She’s built my website. She’s amazing. She has a team of people now who are helping her. So that would be my recommendation. And I would only do that on WordPress with Squarespace or show it period.
Because at that point you are big enough where you are going to need a scalable options. You’re going to have a full-out blog at some point that shares your podcast. Okay? You’re going to have a, probably Shopify with things you sell. You’re going to have a store. You’re going to have multiple courses.
(29:02):
You’re going to need flexibility and show it is going to be your number one option when it comes to SEO and all of those pieces, it’s definitely by far the best. So that’s my 2 cents. If you’re above 200 K in revenue, 100%, get a customized website built out and show it. You’re there. Do it. Okay. So that’s all that I have to say about websites. Now, the only other piece that’s super important when I give you a bonus tip right now
(29:32):
Is please spend some time on the copy because the messaging is just as important as the visual appeal. You have to touch someone in their heart emotionally, but then you also have to convict them that your stuff is the answer. So there’s this beautiful blend.
When you write, copy between connection and seeing people where they are and knowing their pain points and triggers, and then, and then moving them through, into the tactical, tangible solutions that only your stuff provides and that how you’re going to get them, that massive transformation. Okay?
(30:03):
So you really have to find that blend and it takes some practice. And again, if you need help with copy, I have a copywriter I can recommend, I will be honest, hiring a copywriter is pretty expensive. So this is something that I think that you can take a crack at yourself. And if it’s literally like debilitating for you, or it’s just awful, but you guys are podcasters.
(30:24):
So like, you know how to speak, you know how to, you know how to write some general copy. Maybe you just need to sit and work on it with, with a lot of intention, don’t go look at other people’s stuff, right from your heart. Just like I tell you when podcasting, you know, someone else’s show or message is not going to land on your audience because they’re not here for that person. They’re here for you.
(30:45):
So just like when you’re sitting down to podcast, sit down to write copy from your heart. There is no right or wrong copy. You don’t want to use someone else’s messaging. You don’t want to use someone else’s copy. You don’t want to use someone else’s website the way that they have it built. You want to come from your heart and soul, knowing your person is two steps behind you.
(31:03):
You are absolutely qualified to do that. You are, you have enough, you are ready. It is within you. You can absolutely bust out a one pager girl. I know it’s within you, but if you’re like, I just can’t let me know and I will get you a referral. All right, guys. I am just so excited about all of the cool new things that are happening over at stefaniegass.com with the rebrand, all kinds of cool stuff happened.
(31:26):
I just completely revamped podcast to profit. So when you join in August, it is like a brand new immersion experience. It is incredible. Wait until you hear the testimonies, I’m gonna start bringing the girls on, in about a week or two to share with you everything that happened for them inside of podcast to profit. And again, only 20 spots in there. So when it’s full, it’s full, you can head to stefaniegass.com/podcasttoprofit.
(31:52):
And if I haven’t sold you on starting a podcast, yet, hang out with me for five more minutes, girl. And you’re gonna be like, oh, dang, like Brittany, I have a podcast now in the world, which is so amazing because anybody can do it. It’s super easy. It’s super fun. And it really truly does work.
The girls that I have been working with for roughly one to two years who followed my exact system, got clarity, had the four pillars of brand creation locked in, started the podcast and then monetize with a course or program.
(32:22):
And then they added in a bump of coaching. I have a handful of them. You guys, who are making anywhere between 17 and $75,000 a month, I’m not here to promise you that I’m just showing. I’m like, look at what is possible with this business model. It’s insanity to me, but God, and it’s when you are in alignment with your purpose work, you’re showing up for his glory.
(32:44):
It feels fun. It feels exciting. It’s scalable because this business model, it gets you out of hustle. It gets you out of showing up on social 24 7, and it gets you into just production. It’s so much fun not to mention. You can pause when your kids come in and need you. I’m all about that. So I want you guys to go to stefaniegass.com, take a look around. I would love for you to join me in this experience.
(33:05):
It’ll take you about three to eight months to get through my entire core suite. But at that time, imagine one year from now, you are doing exactly what I’m doing right this second. And you have an entire business and it’s making you money. And it’s something that’s sustainable, evergreen and forever. It cannot fall away with an algorithm. It cannot fall away when the newest app comes out and now yours is obsolete.
(33:29):
It withstands the test of time. So here for that, let’s pray. And I’ll let you get to your day, father, God, I lift up these incredible women. Thank you for this time. Thank you for this inspiration to talk about this today. I pray that the girls know exactly who you are calling them to be, that that clarity begins to pour into their hearts, into their minds, that their spirit leads them instead of their flesh.
(33:49):
And they’re saying yes and amen to the calling and anointing. You only, you have in store for their lives, their businesses and their purpose work. I pray for favor and provision over each of them so that they can show up as daughters of the king and do big things for you, for the people that need you, that they can tie and give and show up and pay off debt and do big, incredible things for their lives.
(34:09):
And for other people, we are so grateful God that you are here on this journey with us, that you were leading us, that you were showing us the way we are thankful that your path is the path for us. And I just ask you to place us on your path and help us to stay steadfast in pursuit of the dream you’ve planted in our hearts from birth. We love you so much God, in Jesus name. Amen. I’ll see you guys back real soon.
(34:36):
Mama show you real quick before you go. If this podcast has blessed you in some way, the number one way you can thank me is to leave a written review for the show over on apple podcasts. I seriously am lit up every time I hear from you guys, every time that I see that this show has impacted your life in some way.
(35:01):
So if you’ll do that for me, I would be super grateful. The second thing you can do is take a screenshot of this episode or of your review and go share it in your Instagram stories and tag me @stefaniegass. I’ll share you in my stories and then together we can share the love. God bless you says.
