Pregnancy, business growth, maternity leave, and a whole lot of figuring it out as we go. ☕️

It's been over a year since Jaiden did a solo Tea Time episode, so she's back with a very personal update on what's been happening behind the scenes at The Rave Social. From navigating pregnancy after experiencing a missed miscarriage to preparing for life with a baby girl, she's sharing the highs, the hard parts, and everything in between.

But this isn't just a pregnancy update. Jaiden gets real about what it's actually like preparing for maternity leave as a business owner, why stepping away from your business isn't always as simple as Instagram makes it sound, and the realities of building a team that can support you when your capacity changes.

She also spills some business tea, including scaling The Rave Social to consistent $30K months, navigating client retention and agency expenses, hitting capacity, experimenting with a waitlist and launch strategy, and learning that not every new business idea works exactly how you planned.

If you're a business owner who's thinking about starting a family, navigating a season of change, or simply trying to build a business that supports your life (not the other way around), this episode is for you.

Consider this your reminder that you don't need to have every detail figured out. Sometimes you're just in the trenches, learning as you go, and that's okay. 💛

Does anyone actually want to live to 200 if they never get to do anything? This week I’m joined by my friend Sam, a holistic health practitioner, breathwork facilitator, Reiki healer and brand designer. About six months ago she quit her full-time job to build Metamorphosis Studio.

Sam spent nearly a decade doing every protocol she could find. Then the thing that finally moved her healing forward had nothing to do with a supplement. We talk about why your symptoms are information and not a betrayal, why “healed” is a trap when you treat it as a destination, and what happens when you’re making “very expensive pee.” We also get into why Sam thinks purpose and play are the missing pieces in most healing protocols.

Then we switch to business. We cover branding as personal development, the one sign that someone needs self-discovery more than a marketing strategy, and the pressure to niche down when you’re a multidimensional human.

What if your Meta ads aren’t the problem, but what happens after someone clicks? 👀

In this episode of The Rave Social Podcast, Jaiden sits down with Jade, a Meta ads specialist who helps businesses turn Facebook and Instagram advertising into profitable campaigns. With a background in psychology, Jade brings a fascinating perspective to marketing, breaking down how understanding human behavior can help you create ads that connect with the right people without resorting to manipulative tactics.

They chat about what your business needs in place before investing in paid ads, why a proven offer and a converting website matter more than you might think, and how to figure out where things are going wrong when your campaigns aren’t bringing in leads or sales. Jade also shares her thoughts on ad creative, ad fatigue, audience targeting, and why you might be overthinking your metrics (yes, likes and comments aren't everything!).

Plus, they get into the ethics of marketing, the psychology behind creating anticipation, common Meta ads myths, and why those fake countdown timers need to go away forever.

Whether you're thinking about running your first ad campaign or you've already spent money on ads and aren't seeing the results you hoped for, this episode will help you approach paid advertising with more clarity, confidence, and strategy.

And a little reminder from Jade: just because you're good at something doesn't mean you have to keep doing it. Sometimes the best business decision is giving yourself permission to change direction. 💛
