90% of my sales have come directly from Instagram Stories.

Not reels.
Not viral posts.
Not trends.

Stories.

In this episode, I’m breaking down exactly why Instagram Stories are the most underrated (and underutilized) sales tool in your business — and how to start using them intentionally.

If you’re posting randomly, sharing in real time, or hoping people “just get it,” this episode will shift everything.

We’re diving into:

• Why Instagram Stories are hella powerful for sales

• The intentional strategy behind how I show up

• Why I rarely post in real time (and what I do instead)

• The ONE question I ask before posting any story: Why does she care?

• The 5 categories every story should fall into if you want it to convert

• The difference between authentic vulnerability and trauma dumping

• How to bridge lifestyle content back to your offer

• Why you need to actually sell on stories (polls, CTAs, urgency)

• Why framework > aesthetics

• How batching removes inconsistency and overthinking

If you’re ready to stop guessing and start converting, I’m teaching my exact framework inside:

They come to you.

In today’s deeply personal episode, Ayla opens up about her recent trip to Tulum with her partner, Lucas — a journey that was far more than a vacation. It was a sacred pause. A healing reset. And a turning point after one of the most heartbreaking experiences of her life.

In December, Ayla and Lucas lost their baby at just over 10 weeks pregnant. In this raw and honest conversation, Ayla shares what that loss was really like — physically, emotionally, and spiritually — including the guilt, fear, and complicated emotions she carried around the pregnancy itself.

She reflects on how Tulum became the space they needed to grieve, honor their little angel, reconnect as a couple, and intentionally decide how they want to move forward together.

But this episode isn’t just about grief.
It’s about growth, alignment, and consciously designing your next chapter.

Ayla also pulls back the curtain on the exact relationship-planning framework she and Lucas use to stay aligned — including their weekly and monthly relationship meetings, financial check-ins, lifestyle planning, and their powerful 2-2-2 Rule for long-term connection.

From there, she bridges into a practical, no-fluff goal-setting exercise she recently shared with her mastermind students — teaching you how to turn aesthetic vision boards into real, tangible goals with action steps that actually move your life and business forward.
