Open for my #1 growth strategy!


Hi Reader!

Let’s talk about collaborations.

If you’ve been around me for more than five minutes, you know they’re one of my favorite ways to grow my business... and for good reason.

I mean, what’s better than teaming up with someone awesome, sharing your expertise, and getting in front of a whole new audience that’s ready to hear what you have to say?

Plus, collaborations are free (🙌), often a light lift, and they come with the best kind of trust-building: a personal recommendation.

When someone introduces you to their audience, they’re basically saying, “Hey, I trust this person, and I think you should too.” That kind of endorsement? Priceless.

This week alone, I’m collaborating in a bunch of ways:

✨ Hosting a workshop inside someone’s community
✨ Recording a quick tip for another community
✨ Swapping resources with a biz friend (she shares mine with her people, I share hers with you...coming to you on Friday!)
✨ Brainstorming a two-day workshop with another business friend where we get to showcase both of our skills

And honestly? Collaborations have been the number one way I’ve grown my email list and expanded my reach. They’re that good.

So, if collaborations aren’t part of your 2025 visibility strategy… it’s time to change that.

And I’ve got just the thing to help—yes, it’s another collab (because I practice what I preach!).

🍾 The Born to Collaborate Bundle is packed with resources from 23+ experts (including yours truly) designed to help you make collaborations work for you.

You’ll find courses, templates, workshops—all aimed at helping you grow your audience, amplify your message, and connect with the right people.

And the best part? It’s completely free (but only until March 4).

Ready to make collaboration your secret growth weapon??

Build trust, expand your audience, and grow your business without the hustle 👇🏻

Whether you’re brand new to collaborations or ready to uplevel your strategy, this bundle is full of practical resources that can make your visibility efforts way easier and more fun.

Here’s to collaborating your way to more visibility, growth, and connections in 2025.

You in?

Cheers,
Kristin

What We're Buzzing About
Does your brand have flavor or does it taste like Costco gin in a white-labeled bottle? I said what I said. This reel breaks down why your brand shouldn’t feel mass-produced (and how to fix it).

What I'm Sipping
Rhubarb spritz on repeat. Picked up fresh rhubarb at the farmers market, simmered it into a syrup, and now I’m mixing it with gin and soda water. Tart, crisp, a little unexpected, just how I like my summer drinks.

🍹 Mixing Up Your Inbox Preferences?
I get it; sometimes, the cocktail menu needs a little change. Change your preferences, or if my emails aren't your flavor, feel free to pour them out by unsubscribing. No hard feelings, and you're always welcome back to the bar!

🥂 Cheers to transparent marketing!
Some emails may have affiliate links or be co-crafted with ChatGPT. Rest assured, you're still getting the same Kristin-level awesomeness—just with a dash of AI and a sprinkle of affiliate love. No extra cost, all extra value!
