Frequently Asked Questions


What exactly do you teach?

I help women (especially 40+) learn how to build online businesses with digital products and email marketing—no tech overwhelm, no hustle culture.


Do I need to be “techy” to follow along?

Nope! I break things down step-by-step and share tools that are beginner-friendly. Scrappy is smart around here.


What kind of digital products are we talking about?

Not everything—but I do have a YouTube channel full of free training, plus a few low-cost tools in my Stan Store that are total shortcuts.


I still work full time. Can I really do this?
