Hey friends! I’m back from vacation, feeling refreshed (and a little melted from this South Florida heat 😅). In this episode, I’m diving into what I’ve been working on behind the scenes this summer—including some serious business cleanup and a few new projects that are launching soon (yes, one drops before July 10 👀).

Here's what we cover:

💡 Summer slowdown = business cleanup mode
Time away showed me just how important it is to have solid systems and automations in place. So I’m taking the time to look at everything—offers, emails, tech, and more.

🧼 3 ways I’m cleaning up my business:

1. Decluttering offers – Making sure everything I sell fits together and serves a clear purpose. I’m organizing my product suite and simplifying my messaging (hint: the Mini Course Funnel is the main star 🌟).

2. Canceling unused tech + subscriptions – Going through my business credit card to cut out what I’m not using anymore. Feels so good.

3. Organizing digital files + email sequences – Cleaning up my Google Drive, fixing links, and streamlining my email funnels. I’m also starting a YouTube channel—not to go viral, but as a free resource library for my clients.

Sometimes the best way to grow is to pause, reflect, and clean house. Whether it's summer or another season of quiet, tune in to what your business needs from you right now. For me? It’s simplicity, clarity, and making everything flow easier.

👀 Sneak Peek: My Secret July Project
I’m so close to launching something completely new- a passion project turned major business move.

I’m not spilling all the tea yet, but if you poke around my IG, you might catch a clue. Official announcement coming after 5 Days of Deals!

In this episode of Chill the Champagne, I’m diving deep into one of my most powerful offers: the Six Week Intensive. You’ll get the full behind-the-scenes on what it is, who it’s for, and why it works so well for online entrepreneurs who are ready to stop spinning and start implementing.

Unlike my self-paced courses or even the group coaching support in Prep School, the Six Week Intensive is high-touch, fast-moving, and entirely focused on your business goals. Whether you're building your first mini course, launching a membership, setting up ads, or mapping out your entire offer suite — this container is built to help you get it done, with me by your side.

🛠 Inside this episode, I break down:

• What makes the Six Week Intensive different from my other programs

• The kinds of projects we tackle together in just six weeks

• How my clients go from idea to implementation — fast

• Why building payment pathways like mini courses and memberships lets you take time off while still making money

• How this ties into my Five Days of Deals summer sale — your chance to join now

If you're craving clarity, focus, and results (not more fluff), this episode is for you. Let's set up the systems and strategies that bring in income — so you can actually enjoy your summer and prep for a stress-free holiday season.

This episode is a behind-the-scenes look at a very real (and dreamy) Tuesday in my online business. From a cozy two-hour nap after school drop-off to making $400 by noon, I’m walking you through what life looks like when your business has real payment pathways built in. No launches. No live calls. Just systems doing the work — even while I’m at HomeGoods or volunteering at my daughter's school.

I’m also pulling back the curtain on what real passive income means (hint: it’s not selling some resale rights course you didn’t make). We’re talking true sustainability — how you can set up income systems that work for you in your sleep. Literally.

And if you're curious about how AI can help speed things up, I'm a speaker at the AI Unlocked Summit with Gemma Bonham-Carter, where I’ll be showing how to build a mini course with AI. You can still grab your free ticket here:

In this episode of Chill the Champagne, I’m getting real about something I see all too often — mini courses that aren’t selling… and it’s not because of the course itself. It’s the sales page. If no one ever sees the inside of your course, it’s because your sales page didn’t do its job — and today, I’m breaking down exactly how to fix that.

I’m sharing three key strategies to start converting more sales:

1. Price your mini course under $100 when selling to a cold audience — make it an easy “yes.”

2. Build a proper sales page — not a link-filled website. It needs to guide your reader and make the transformation obvious.

3. Keep the design clean and clear — big bold headers, short readable paragraphs, one single place to click (your checkout!).

I also talk about why you should lead with your best on the sales page — because when your course truly delivers (and I know it does), that’s what turns customers into superfans.

Plus, I give a little behind-the-scenes look at what’s happening in my world — like my class in the AI Unlocked 2025 Summit, the surprise six-week coaching intensive I launched on a whim, and a brand new (super creative!) project that’s lighting me up right now — even if no one knows about it yet. Not even my inner circle.

This episode is your permission slip to stop gripping your business so tightly and let some magic in. If you’re feeling stuck, maybe it’s time to shift gears and follow the spark.

Oh — and if you’d love a free live workshop on creating a high-converting sales page, message me on Instagram (@theangiestarr) and let me know!

This week’s episode is a special one — I’m joined by my 13-year-old daughter, Stella! 💗

Stella just went through a super intense audition process for a competitive performing arts high school, and we’re breaking it all down.

From prepping monologues and mock interviews to facing a 20% acceptance rate, Stella took complete ownership of the process — and it reminded me of how much we, as adults, can learn from this kind of boldness.

We chat about:

• What it’s like to attend a middle school of the arts (yes, they have “majors” like acting!)

• The real mindset shifts that helped her prep and stay grounded through rejection risk

• Why surrounding yourself with community + coaching is a total game-changer (even for teens!)

• How this all ties back to business, bravery, and going after your big goals — even when it’s scary

If you’ve been waiting for the "perfect" moment to launch something, hire a coach, or try something new… let this episode inspire you to just go for it.

Rejection is redirection. Courage is a skill. And the kids? They might just be leading the way. 💫

I just got my bookkeeping back, and whoa—turns out I made an extra $100K in profit last year… and most of it came in the last quarter.

Honestly? I was a little shocked. But I know exactly what made it happen.

In this episode, I’m spilling all the details on how I layered paid ads, emails, and social content without drowning in content creation or turning into a full-time marketer.

If you’ve ever felt like content is too much work, or that you’re just not “good” at social media—this one’s for you.

I’m diving into:

• How paid ads are the lifeblood of my business (even when they "don’t work")

• What I was doing wrong with my email list for years

• How I completely shifted my strategy and started making money from almost every email I send

• Why social media is the front door, but your email list is where the real magic happens

• The low-effort system I use to get 3 emails + 3 social posts created in minutes using AI

• How I semi-outsource (hint: I’m not spending $5k/month on a team—and you don’t have to either)

I also give you a sneak peek at something I’ve been building behind the scenes… 🎉

It’s called The Content Club, and it’s launching April 1st.

Inside, I’m handing over my exact system—the one that helped me finally stay consistent on social and in my inbox (without doing all the work myself). Think:
✅ AI prompts that actually sound like you
✅ Faceless reels, pre-written captions, and swipeable content
✅ My plug-and-play marketing calendar
✅ How to outsource just enough to stay visible without burning out
