Hey Lena,

Let’s talk about something that either makes your heart race…
or your soul shrivel:

🤖 Automation.

Yeah. That word.

Maybe you’ve thought about it.
Maybe you’ve tried to set it up.
Or maybe you ran screaming when a tech bro told you to “build a 37-step funnel in ClickFunnels with tripwires, tags, and upsells.”

Look. I get it.

You didn’t start your business to become a robot.

You started it because you wanted to connect.
Create.
Change things.

So when people say “automate,” it can sound like a shortcut to cold, creepy, and corporate.

But today, I want to flip the script.
Because automation, when done right, is freedom.

Let me show you how.

Here’s the lie we’re often sold:

Automation replaces you.

But here’s the truth I want you to hold onto today:

Automation supports you — so the best parts of you can shine.

Read that again, Lena.

Because this isn’t about building a lifeless funnel that pumps out generic offers.

This is about creating calm.
Creating space.
So you can show up where it matters most — with presence, not pressure.

Imagine your email list as a cozy dinner party.

Would you personally hand-write directions to every guest?
Would you set the table 17 different times?
Would you walk each person to their seat individually?

No.

You’d automate what doesn’t require your genius:

·       Directions = email delivery

·       Name cards = tagging

·       Meal plan = offer setup

So you can do what you do best:
✨ Light candles
✨ Pour drinks
✨ Tell stories
✨ Create moments

Automation handles the logistics.
You handle the magic.

Let’s start simple.
Here are a few things that are 100% safe to automate — and actually enhance your reader’s experience:

·       ✅ Welcome emails (delivered right after opt-in)

·       ✅ Freebie delivery (with a soft follow-up)

·       ✅ Tag-based nurturing (ex: design freebies = design-focused sequence)

·       ✅ Workshop reminders (no manual babysitting)

·       ✅ “If they clicked this, send that” flows

None of these remove your humanity.
They just remove your repetition.

Instead of copy-pasting a “here’s your free guide!” email 47 times this month…
you write it once — with warmth — and let it live on.

That’s not lazy.
That’s leveraged.

Let me tell you about my client, Jo.

She’s a creative coach who used to send everything manually.

She wanted every email to feel personal — and it did. But she was also:

·       Behind on client calls

·       Tired of repeating herself

·       Dreading her inbox

She thought automation would make her business feel “too cold.”

But we set up just 3 flows:

1.     A story-based welcome sequence

2.     A “you might love this” follow-up email

3.     A 3-day nurture for new signups from her quiz

The result?

She started hearing things like:

“I don’t know if this was automated… but it felt like you knew exactly what I needed.”

That’s when she realized:
✨ Automation isn’t the opposite of connection.
It’s the thing that makes deeper connection possible.

Let’s make this real for you, Lena.

Take a moment to write down the emails you’ve sent 3+ times in the last 90 days.

Now ask:

·       Could one story-based email replace this task?

·       Could I turn this into a nurture flow?

·       Could I pre-write the response and just add a personal note?

You don’t need a 47-step funnel.
You just need a few emails that make people feel seen.

Imagine writing ONE really beautiful email:

·       It shares a personal story

·       It thanks someone for joining

·       It links to your favorite blog post

·       It asks a single, open-ended question

Now imagine it gets sent automatically to every new subscriber.
Every week. Every month. Forever.

That’s not a funnel.

That’s a hug that keeps on hugging. 💌

Automation is not about replacing your voice.

It’s about giving your best voice a permanent place to live — so you can rest, breathe, and show up when it matters most.

You didn’t become a business owner to write the same email 300 times.

You became one to make a difference.

Let automation hold the structure.
So you can show up with soul.
