Seeking truth and getting real -- helping you discover your strength and voice to make the best, informed choices on YOUR terms in accordance to HIS will.

In this episode, I’m joined by my friend and fellow Beachbody alum Jessie Boudreaux, a mom of two who's built a thriving business as a social media manager and UGC creator. We’re talking about the gritty, unfiltered truth of pivoting careers—specifically what it really takes to leave the comfortable “identity” of network marketing and build a business aligned with your values, your family, and your time.

We dig deep on what it’s like emotionally to walk away from a business model that sold us the dream of time freedom, only to discover real freedom building something on our own terms. Jessie Boudreaux gets honest about mom guilt, what she misses (and doesn’t) about network marketing, boundaries, and the realities of running a content creation business.

Whether you’re a mom craving more flexibility, feeling the tug to pivot, or just tired of hustling for someone else’s dream, this conversation is for you.

➡ 3 No-Fluff Takeaways

1 - Time Freedom in Network Marketing Is a Mirage

If you think network marketing will give you true flexibility, think again. We both came in seeking time freedom, but reality looked like being glued to our phones 24/7—documenting every single workout, meal, and “relatable” life moment.

2 - You Don’t Need a Massive Audience to Succeed as a Content Creator

Forget the follower obsession. Jessie Boudreaux is earning more now with under 1,000 followers than she ever did with tens of thousands in network marketing. Brands hire for quality and messaging, not vanity metrics.

3 - Your Worth Isn’t Tied to Ranks, Accolades, or Hype

We got real about how network marketing ties your sense of value to rank and recognition—and how that can wreak havoc on your confidence and mental health. Building your own business puts you in control. Your income is tied to the value you create—not how many people you recruit or how loudly you sell the “dream.”

Welcome to this week’s episode of The Income Blueprint Unfiltered! I’m Maren, and today I’m getting all the way real about what’s happening with UGC courses, master resale rights, and how to actually build skills that pay far beyond a social media trend.

I break down:

  • Why just asking “Should I buy a UGC course?” is the wrong question
  • How to spot the difference between someone earning through real UGC vs. just selling the dream
  • The necessity of critical thinking before putting time or money into any online course
  • Why transparency matters and how to tell if a business model is the right fit for the flexible, sustainable income streams you want

No fluff, no filters, just the uncomfortable truths and sharp strategies you need to build a business that lasts beyond the latest TikTok trend. Whether you’re a creator, multi-passionate entrepreneur, or a mom pulling double duty, this episode’s for you.

🔑 3 Key Takeaways

Ask Better Questions Before Investing

Don’t just ask if you should buy a course, dig deeper. Where is the person’s income really coming from? Are you buying a skill, a roadmap, or just the chance to sell the same thing?

A Real UGC Business Isn’t Built Overnight

Viral income screenshots usually hide the reality: most UGC creators start with small jobs, build their portfolios, and face rejections. Sustainable success comes from skills like pitching, content improvement, and building brand relationships - not quick wins or master resale rights.

Skill Over Trend—Every Time

Trends fade, but real skills stay valuable. If a course disappeared tomorrow, would you still have something profitable to offer? That’s your litmus test for any education investment. True empowerment comes when your income stream isn’t dependent on someone else’s platform or program.

Are you a mom, creator, or business owner dreaming of financial freedom without the hype or overcomplicated systems? If you’re ready for real, actionable strategies on how to batch User-Generated Content (UGC) and Amazon videos, without turning your life upside down, this guide strips away the fluff. Let’s dig in.

I’m breaking down exactly how I batch my content, set non-crazy goals, and keep things flexible enough to actually FIT my life (instead of running it). No more feeling guilty, overwhelmed, or convinced you’re behind. Let’s get unfiltered.

Full show notes and resources on my website →

🔑 3 Takeaways

Set Realistic, Life-Friendly Goals

Please stop choosing arbitrary numbers or getting stuck in “one video every single day” pressure.

Batch by Task—Keep It Simple

You don’t need six outfit changes or a production studio. I batch my content by task (filming, editing, voiceover) and often wear the same thing in multiple videos.

Use Real Life As Your B-Roll Goldmine

Grab clips as you live - a few seconds here and there builds a library you can use for months.

Welcome back to The Income Blueprint Unfiltered! This episode isn’t about perfect morning routines, miracle planners, or sugarcoated advice. It's about facing what’s really holding you back: exhaustion. I’m Maren Crowley, and today we’re cutting through the noise about productivity to talk honestly about sleep as a business strategy, not just “self-care fluff.”

Whether you’re an entrepreneur, creator, or a busy mom juggling 27 tabs in your brain, chances are what feels like a business problem is actually an exhaustion problem. I share my personal story of burning the midnight oil, why the old “hustle harder” mentality is costing you more than you think, and some no-nonsense strategies to reclaim your energy (and your time).

You’ll get real talk, no guilt, no unrealistic routines, just tactical ways to spot and stop the three biggest “sleep thieves” in your life, plus simple steps you can take right now to see a real difference in your patience, productivity, and income.

🔥 3 Key Takeaways

1. Sleep is a Capacity Multiplier—Not a Reward

If you’re treating sleep as something you “earn” after finishing your to-do list, you’re robbing yourself of the ability to show up at your best.

2. You Can Outsource Tasks—But Not Your Nervous System

You can hire a virtual assistant, schedule your social media, and automate like a pro, but you cannot outsource your sleep or restore your energy by delegation.

3. Awareness > Overhauls

Don’t overhaul your life overnight. Instead, experiment with one change this week: go to bed 30 minutes earlier, skip the bedtime scroll, or move up your caffeine cut-off.

You know that feeling when it's late at night, your body is exhausted, but you can't quite turn your brain off — so you reach for your phone, open Instagram "just for a second," and someone else's reel makes your stomach drop? Maybe they hit a million views, signed a huge brand deal, or their house looks spotless while your laundry has been in the dryer for two days.

Suddenly the life you were perfectly fine with five minutes ago starts to feel small. Here's the truth: comparison is loud, but conviction is quiet — and if you can't tell those two voices apart, you'll end up building a life that looks impressive but doesn't actually belong to you.

In this episode I get real about the $20,000-month posts (I've had those months — and I break down what they actually cost me), the myth that we all have "the same 24 hours," and why your season of life changes everything. No rose-colored glasses, just an honest reminder that your worth isn't tied to your output.

Read full show notes on my website →

3 Key Takeaways

  1. Comparison Is Loud—Conviction Is Quiet: The internet profits from keeping us in a cycle of comparison, but your real progress comes from listening to your own grounded convictions—not the frantic highlight reels.
  2. Context Is Everything: Don’t buy into the “we all have the same 24 hours” myth. Everybody’s actual life circumstances are different, especially moms and creators balancing multiple roles and responsibilities.
  3. Borrowing Goals Leaves You Burnt Out: You don’t have to chase someone else's definition of success. Get clear on YOUR goals, talents, and pace. Peace and presence matter just as much as hustling for the next milestone.

If this one resonated, follow the show, share it with a mom or creator who's been feeling behind, and leave a review.

Amazon content is not just about what is trending today. It is about understanding what people are about to buy next.

If you’re tired of chasing trends and always feeling behind, this episode is for you. I dig into why most creators miss out on Amazon’s real earning potential and how thinking (and planning) ahead is the difference between random content and a sustainable income blueprint.

We’re talking about how to plan your content like a business, why moms have a secret edge, and specific steps you can use to start earning more—without burning out.

Whether you’re working two jobs or folding laundry between takes, there’s a smarter way to create. I’m here to show you how to combine evergreen and seasonal content, batch create like a pro, and operate from a plan—not panic.

➡️ 3 No-Fluff Takeaways

  1. Content That Pays Isn’t About Trends. It’s About TimingStop creating for what’s trending today and start focusing on what buyers will need next month. Amazon is a buyer platform, not a viral platform—anticipate, don’t react.
  2. Batching and Planning Are Non-Negotiable if You Want to Keep Your SanityThe secret to consistency? Batch your content while your seasonal setups are already in place.
  3. Evergreen Content Keeps You in Business; Seasonal Content Creates SpikesDon’t put all your eggs in one basket. Evergreen products build long-term stability, while seasonal content gives you those big earning bursts.

Welcome to a no-fluff, truth-driven conversation that might ruffle some feathers—because today, I'm pulling back the curtain on a cycle playing out every day in the MLM (multi-level marketing) world.

If you’ve ever wondered why top influencers go from swearing by one product or company one minute to bashing it and jumping ship the next, this episode is for you.

I dig into the emotional and psychological ecosystem fueling these constant pivots—and why it goes far beyond the “life-changing” products we see flooding our feeds.

I’m sharing not only from the outside looking in but pulling lessons from my own decade-plus inside the top.01% of the MLM machine. No attacks, just hard questions and honest reflection on how these environments shape identity, loyalty, and burnout, especially for women.

Read full show notes on my website →

We’ll look at:

  • Why these rebranding cycles happen—again and again
  • The “emotional rebrand” and group psychology at play
  • How true freedom comes from owning your skills, not just selling someone else’s products

Whether you’re a creator chasing real income streams, a wellness-minded mom overwhelmed by the hype, or an entrepreneur who wants ownership instead of dependency—this episode is your reality check.

If this resonated, follow the show, share it with someone questioning the cycle, and leave a review.

In today’s episode, I’m sharing my very real and no-nonsense take on why I walked away from network marketing—even as a top 1% earner—and why UGC (User Generated Content) and content creation offer more freedom, flexibility, and ownership for women, moms, and creators looking to build sustainable income streams online.

I’m breaking down the realities, the hard truths, and the lessons I learned after a decade in the trenches of MLMs like Beachbody. If you’re tired of being sold on “flexibility” while being tied to someone else’s rules—or you’re ready to pivot into building online income on your own terms—you’re in the right place.

Read full show notes on my website →

In this episode, I get candid about:

  • Why most MLM “entrepreneurship” is actually ownership in name only
  • The emotional and financial costs nobody talks about in network marketing
  • How skills gained in MLM can be transferred to real opportunities in UGC and digital business
  • Why so many women (especially moms) are waking up and pivoting to more authentic, sustainable ways to earn online
  • What makes UGC a game changer—no recruiting, no quotas, no inventory, just getting paid for your work and skills

Whether you’re stuck, skeptical, burnt out, or just curious what’s on the other side of the MLM world—you don’t want to miss this one.

Turning 40 hits different. In this episode, I get real about what it means to hit a new decade—not just the societal expectations, but the mindset shifts, the grief, and, most of all, the incredible lessons that come with embracing both gratitude and growth.

I break down the 40 biggest lessons life and business have taught me so far, share the raw truth about aging, pivoting in business, motherhood, and protecting your peace. Whether you’re building new income streams, redefining success, or juggling all the hats as a mom, this episode is for you.

Read full show notes on my website →

🔑 3 Key Takeaways

  1. Multiple Income Streams Equal Freedom: Relying on one income stream is a risky game in today’s unpredictable world. Building skills in UGC, affiliate marketing, coaching, and content creation opens up options and flexibility—and that’s real financial security.
  2. You’re Never Too Old or Too Late to Reinvent Yourself: Reinvention isn’t just allowed; it’s necessary. Every pivot—whether in business, motherhood, or personal growth—is a chance to become more of who you really are. Growth means letting go of who you were to make space for who you’re called to be.
  3. Protect Your Peace and Family—Relentlessly: Boundaries aren’t just a buzzword—they’re essential for protecting your energy, marriage, and kids. Not everyone gets to weigh in on your choices. Sometimes, loving your family well means limiting time with people—family included—who disrupt your peace.

The mental load is the invisible cognitive labor of running a household — the constant remembering, anticipating, and managing that most moms carry alone, all day, every day.

In this episode, Maren breaks down the three layers of the mental load (remembering, anticipating, and delegating/following up), the emotional labor and guilt that sit on top of it, and why it seems to get heavier in modern motherhood. More importantly — what actual change looks like. Hint: it's not about splitting chores 50/50.

If you’ve ever felt guilty for needing a break, overwhelmed from invisible tasks, or frustrated by the feeling that other people just don’t see what you’re holding—all while loving your family deeply—this episode is for you. I also discuss the importance of real partnership and practical ways to start unloading some of what you’re carrying.

Topics covered:

  • What the mental load actually is (and what makes it invisible)
  • The 3 layers every mom carries simultaneously
  • Why type B moms carry it just as much as type A
  • Why asking for help is still work
  • What real partnership and ownership look like
  • Why imperfect is sometimes the most sustainable choice

There's a good chance I get fired up in this one. An Instagram reel from a top-earning MLM influencer, boarding a chartered plane in Christian Louboutins, mocking women doing UGC and Amazon content — with the implication that network marketing is what made it all possible. Now, even the FTC is stepping in.

In this episode, I'm using my own background as a top 0.01% Beachbody earner to break down why the lifestyle being marketed is not representative of what most people will experience — and what the data actually says about MLM income claims.

→ Read the full show notes on my website

We cover:

  • The FTC's recent enforcement action and what it means
  • Why top earners aren't proof the model works for average participants
  • The real math: 73–99% of MLM participants earn little to nothing
  • Why UGC, Amazon Influencer, and digital income give the average person a far better shot

In this episode, I open up about the realities behind financial stress, and dive deep into how faith, stewardship, and mindset influence the way I navigate uncertain seasons—especially when it comes to provision and inconsistent income.

From the sticker shock at the gas pump to the anxiety-inducing pressure of social media comparison, I’m sharing personal experiences and lessons that can help you shift from panic and scarcity to peace and clarity.

We’ll explore the true cost of “success,” why multiple streams of income matter, and practical strategies for finding contentment and resilience—even when it feels like you’re barely keeping afloat.

Whether you’re facing a financial downturn, feeling overwhelmed by social media’s highlight reel, or just need a reminder that peace beats panic every time, this episode is here to encourage you. You’re not alone, and your situation does not define you.

→ Read the full show notes on my website

3 Takeaways

  1. Faith Isn’t Doing Nothing—It’s Showing Up Without Fear: My approach to faith means actively doing the work, making wise decisions, and letting go of panic. Trusting God and being proactive are not mutually exclusive.
  2. External Success and Internal Peace Aren’t the Same: The “perfect” lives we see online or in wealthy circles rarely show the sacrifices and trade-offs involved. I’ve learned not to envy a lifestyle if I wouldn’t want the hidden cost.
  3. Diversifying Income & Practicing Gratitude Build Resilience: Multiple streams of income have been a lifeline through changing seasons. Daily gratitude practice with my husband has helped us focus on abundance rather than lack, even in tough times.

One of the biggest misconceptions in the online space? That becoming an influencer is the ultimate goal. In this episode, I'm getting real about the difference between UGC creators and traditional influencers — and why I've intentionally chosen a path that protects my privacy without sacrificing income.

More on my website →

In this episode:

  • Why a big following is NOT the only path to making money online
  • The real difference between UGC (creating content for brands) and influencing (sharing your actual life)
  • My hospital story — being recognized at 20,000 followers and what it made me realize
  • How I became a top 20 creator on a major platform without showing my kids' faces
  • Why privacy doesn't limit your income — it just changes your approach

Key Takeaway: You can build income through content without being a public figure. You don't need a massive following. You don't have to share everything. That's 100% what I love about UGC.

If you want to learn how to build income through content without relying on a big following, that's exactly what I teach inside my UGC course. Link is below.

In this episode, I dive deep into a topic that not many people in the UGC (User-Generated Content) world talk about—rejection. We often see the big wins, the partnerships, and the success stories, but behind every “yes” are countless unanswered emails, pitches that missed the mark, and flat-out nos.

Today, I break down what rejection really means, how to process it in a healthy way, and how you can actually use it to your advantage. I draw on my experiences in network marketing and UGC, share insights on handling no’s from brands, and give practical advice on follow-ups, building relationships, and keeping your mindset in the right place.

Whether you’re brand new or a seasoned content creator, this conversation will help you reframe the way you handle rejection and set you up for long-term consistency and growth.

More on the episode page →

3 Key Takeaways

  1. Rejection is Normal—and Not Personal: Not every brand will say yes, and that’s okay. Most of the time, rejection is about timing, budgets, or fit—not your value as a creator.
  2. Feedback Moves You Forward: Instead of feeling discouraged, use a no as an opportunity to audit your approach. Ask yourself questions: Was my pitch clear? Am I aligned with the brand? Am I showcasing my strengths?
  3. Consistency & Relationship-Building Matter Most: Follow up (professionally, not pushy!), nurture relationships with brands, and stay visible by continually creating content. Brands remember creators who communicate well and consistently show up; sometimes, a no just means "not right now".

If you've been feeling discouraged, this one's for you. Time to take action.

Welcome to another episode of the If You Know, You Know podcast! Today I’m pulling back the curtain on one of the biggest myths in the online space: that you have to constantly be posting to grow your following and earn an income.

After years in content creation—and especially since becoming a mom—I learned that chasing growth at the expense of your presence just isn’t sustainable.

In this episode, I share my journey of drawing boundaries, handling backlash from followers, and the mindset shifts that allowed me to create content with intention, not overwhelm.

I’m breaking down the difference between content that connects and content that burns you out, plus practical strategies for growing your audience (and your income) without being tethered to your phone 24/7.

Whether you’re a seasoned creator, a newcomer to UGC, or just looking to reclaim your time and sanity, this episode is your permission to simplify.

Episode Highlights

  • My personal story of setting boundaries with my online presence after becoming a mom, and why I don’t share every detail of my life—or my children—online
  • The truth behind burnout: why posting more isn’t the solution and what actually works for growth
  • The importance of clear, relatable, and intentional content over forced, trendy, or copycat posts
  • Why follower count isn’t everything—brands want quality, authentic content, not vanity metrics

3 Key Takeaways

  1. You Don’t Need to Document Everything: Growth doesn’t come from sharing every moment. Focus on what is truly worth posting—protect your presence and your precious off-time.
  2. Quality Over Quantity: Fewer, better posts that connect with your audience will take you further than daily, rushed, or trending content that doesn’t align with your brand.
  3. Be Consistently You—On and Offline: Your online voice and real-life self should match. Trust comes from authenticity, and both audiences and brands notice when you’re in alignment.

In this episode, I dive into what a niche truly is—and what it isn’t. If you’ve ever felt boxed in or confused when someone tells you to “pick a niche” on social media, you’re not alone.

I share my own journey of balancing multiple identities (golf professional, mom, content creator) and why niching down is more about clarifying your message than cutting off parts of yourself.

You’ll hear how I approach my own content, how I use different aspects of my life for context and credibility, and some hard-earned lessons about staying in alignment with your values.

I also walk through tangible steps to help you discover your own niche without feeling limited, so you can grow an authentic and sustainable online presence.

More on the episode page on my website.

In this episode:

  • The 3 questions every niche must answer
  • Why your life is the backdrop, not the topic
  • How values-based niching lets you earn across multiple categories
  • Real examples from my own content and UGC work
  • How to find your niche starting today

I've lived both worlds, and I'm sharing what I know from real experience, including a story where I made $320 from one brand simply by showing up and delivering fast.

Everybody online is promising you'll replace your income in 30 days. Here's the truth — that's not the full picture. I'm walking you through my honest UGC timeline: from starting at absolute zero, two weeks before my second baby was born, to landing my first paycheck and building something real.

My first UGC job paid me $15 for a photo. I came from network marketing where I was making $5,000–$6,000 a week. That $15 felt like proof — not humbling. And that proof changed everything. I cover the 3 things that actually moved the needle, why UGC is something anyone can do, and what my students are seeing inside my course.

Your first paycheck is closer than you think. Let's get you there.

→ More on the website and read more on the blog.

5 Key Takeaways:

  • There is no perfect time to start — waiting only delays your income
  • Your first paycheck is proof the model works, no matter the dollar amount
  • Clarity in messaging, consistency, and reliability are what get you rehired
  • If you can use your phone, you can do UGC — the barrier to entry is genuinely low
  • Former network marketers already have the content creation reps that give them a head start

Let’s get real: there’s a kind of peace that shows up when your income is tied to your effort, not someone else’s motivation. In this episode, I’m breaking down the emotional tax of people-based income, why recruiting can feel like carrying a whole business on your back, and what changed when I shifted into skill-based income through UGC + Amazon.

What I'm sharing:

  • My experiences as a professional athlete and coach, and how those skills helped (and sometimes hindered) my leadership in network marketing.
  • Some straight talk about Beachbody—what went well, what didn’t, and how the company’s closure shifted my entire perspective on income, stability, and leadership.
  • The emotional weight of tying my income to other people’s willingness to believe in themselves and take action.
  • Why I decided to never do network marketing again, and how I found true flexibility with UGC (User Generated Content) and being an Amazon Shoppable Influencer.
  • How I built my UGC course as a roadmap for those who want to succeed without having to recruit, convince, or manage a team.

5 Key Takeaways

  • People-based income looks flexible until your stability depends on other people’s decisions.
  • Being good at recruiting can create results, but it can also mask the emotional tax.
  • You can teach systems, but you cannot manufacture belief or action for someone else.
  • Skill-based income rewards output, improvement, and execution.
  • Real freedom comes from controlling your schedule and your deliverables.

Let’s get real. If you’re a mom and you’ve ever thought, “I don’t have enough time to build something online,” this episode is for you.

Because here’s the truth. Motherhood didn’t make you less capable. It built skills in you that translate directly into high-performing UGC. And if you’ve ever been in an MLM, you already know how heavy that “always on” pressure is.

UGC is different. It’s deliverable-based. You film, you submit, you get paid. No rose-colored glasses. Just a model that respects boundaries.

In this episode, I dive deep into one of the biggest misconceptions out there — that motherhood sets you back in business, especially in the world of UGC (User Generated Content) and social selling. I share my own transition from hitting the top ranks in network marketing to becoming a mom of two and finding my groove in the UGC space.

My goal is to encourage you: being a parent, specifically a mom, is not a disadvantage—it's your superpower. I break down the real skills motherhood gives you, why UGC offers a healthier way to earn online, and how the decision-making you master as a parent directly translates to success as a creator.

Read the blog article on my website for more.

My 3 Biggest Takeaways:

  1. Motherhood is Your Secret Weapon: The skills you build as a mom—multitasking, problem-solving, quick decision making—actually set you up to succeed online.
  2. UGC Gives You Flexibility and Freedom: Unlike the relentless demands of network marketing, UGC is deliverable-based. This means you don’t need to be “on” 24/7, recruiting or performing for social media.
  3. You’re More Than Qualified: Don’t let “I’m just a mom” hold you back. Moms make budgets, strategize, negotiate with toddlers, and run households—you are already equipped with business skills.

Welcome back to the If You Know, You Know podcast! In this episode, I’m breaking down the crucial differences between earning as an Amazon Influencer and generating income through UGC (User Generated Content) brand deals.

People ask me all the time, “Wait… you get paid by Amazon and by brands?” Yes, I do. But they’re completely different income streams. They pay differently, they scale differently, and understanding the difference is how you stop chasing random opportunities and start building real stability.

Learn more on my website: Episode & Blog

You’ll learn:

  • How the Amazon Influencer Program works and why it’s not “traditional influencing”
  • The nuts and bolts of UGC brand deals, from briefs to deliverables to direct payments
  • Why combining both models can help you build scalable, reliable online income

Whether you’re just starting out or looking to level up your social selling game, this episode will help you make smarter, more strategic choices for your business and lifestyle.

Key Takeaways:

  1. Amazon Influencer is Asset-Based & Scalable: As an Amazon Influencer, I earn commissions when buyers purchase after watching my short product videos hosted directly on Amazon.
  2. UGC Brings Immediate Cash Flow: With UGC, I create content directly for brands based on briefs and I get paid upfront per deliverable.
  3. Combine Both for True Stability & Freedom: When I leverage Amazon Influencer and UGC brand deals together, it creates a balanced, resilient business.

In this episode, Maren breaks down why UGC is the mom-friendly business (side-hustle) that actually pays without requiring a massive following, public posting, or sacrificing time with your kids.

📌 Free Guide for limited time → No code needed
https://marencrowley.com/ugcguide

What You'll Learn:

  • What UGC is and why brands pay $150-$1,000+ per video for authentic content
  • How UGC differs from network marketing and influencer content (no sales pressure, no follower requirements)
  • Why creators get paid for skills, not audience size
  • How to protect your kids' privacy while building real income
  • The flexibility to film during nap time and edit on your own schedule
  • Real income potential: retainers, usage rights, and scalable opportunities

Key Insight: As someone who spent over a decade in the top 0.01% of network marketing, Maren shares why UGC is a fundamentally better path. There's no pressure to make sales or build a team. Creators produce authentic content that brands use across their marketing channels and get paid upfront for their work.

The best part? Creators don't have to post anything on their personal accounts. Brands post the content on their pages and in their ads. Privacy stays intact. Family time stays protected. And creators still build multiple income streams.

This is literally for everyone. When Maren says there's a low barrier to entry, she means it. The 99.99% can actually earn income from UGC—not just the elite few.

Key Takeaways

  • UGC pays you for content creation, not follower count or sales
  • You control your privacy
  • True flexibility for moms
  • Low barrier to entry
  • Multiple income streams

Should Christian families celebrate Halloween? Instead of jumping on the latest bandwagon, I'm sharing my family's personal convictions and the important distinction between authentic spiritual discernment and trend-following.

In this episode I open up about why we don't do Santa Claus, how I still let my kids trick-or-treat, and the questions every Christian parent should ask before making faith-based family decisions. This isn't about what YOU should do—it's about encouraging genuine conviction over Christian peer pressure.

📌 Key Takeaways

  1. Avoid bandwagon Christianity - Don't make family decisions based on what's trending in Christian social media
  2. Seek authentic conviction - Ask what the Holy Spirit is convicting YOUR family about, not what others are doing
  3. Be consistent - Apply spiritual discernment across ALL areas of life, not just controversial ones
  4. Trust your calling as a parent - God chose you to parent your children for a reason
  5. Question the inconsistency - If you're concerned about Halloween's pagan roots, examine Christmas and Easter traditions too

In this episode, Maren Crowley dives deep into the recent controversy centered on the 2025 Dove Awards, exploring the drama between Christian artist Forrest Frank and country music star Jelly Roll.

Maren addresses the complexities of faith, money, recognition, and personal conviction in the Christian music industry while reflecting on how judgment and division manifest online and in real-life spiritual communities.

Drawing from her own reflections and audience conversations, she discusses the intersections of commerce, calling, and community within the context of modern worship music.

Personal Conviction Runs Deep:
Forrest Frank’s decision to skip the Dove Awards was based on his own faith journey and convictions, feeling uncomfortable receiving recognition for sharing the gospel, which he considers a calling, not a competition.

Money and Ministry Are Complicated (and That’s OK):
The episode explores the tension between earning an income and spreading the gospel. From high ticket prices to discussions about pastors’ salaries, Maren argues that financial choices are between individuals and God.

Judgment Divides, Unity Heals:
Throughout the controversy, Maren notes the quickness of online judgment, especially among fellow Christians.

In this episode of If You Know You Know, Maren sits down with modern entrepreneur, content creator, and Viral Vue co-founder Kade Peterson. At just 27, Kade has built multiple six and seven-figure businesses, amassed over 2 million followers, and has been featured in Business Insider for his early success.

Together, they take a deep dive into the Amazon Influencer Program, the impact of Viral Vue software, and how the landscape of content creation is shifting towards smarter, more strategic ways to earn passive income.

They pull back the curtain on Viral Vue: the data-driven software helping creators maximize reach and revenue, avoid wasted effort, and streamline product reviews.

If you’ve ever wanted to break into influencer marketing or automate your passive income streams, this conversation is packed with strategy and real talk.

Get the whole scoop, resources and read the transcript on the episode page.

Key Takeaways:

  1. It’s NOT too late to start with the Amazon Influencer Program.
    Kade reassures listeners that despite increased competition and chatter about “saturation,” there remains vast opportunity for new creators—and new strategies, like those enabled by Viral Vue, make it easier than ever to earn.
  2. Work smarter, not harder, by leveraging data and tools.
    Viral Vue helps influencers pick products that are more likely to generate commissions (and identifies when not to waste time on saturated items), saving countless hours and maximizing income. Kade and Maren both stress the importance of using your own Amazon purchase history and branching into new product niches.
  3. Authenticity and honest reviews matter.
    Both Kade and Maren talk honestly about reviewing products they don’t necessarily love and emphasize that your real-life video, showing pros and cons, helps buyers make genuine decisions—and you can still earn commission, even if a viewer chooses a different product because of your video.

Hey everyone, I'm back after taking a little break - and let me tell you, between my work in the golf industry and family life, things have been absolutely wild! I needed to slow down and really process everything that's been happening, especially with this huge news about Modere shutting down. It's bringing up a lot of parallels with what we saw happen with Beachbody, Make Wellness, and other MLMs.

More on the episode page on my website

As someone who was once a top leader in Beachbody, I want to share my insider perspective on what's really going on in network marketing - the culture, the red flags, and yes, even the cult-like aspects that I personally experienced. I'll be real with you about how hard it is to leave these organizations and the manipulation tactics they use to keep people in.

We're going to dig into some pretty eye-opening stuff today - like how these top leaders bounce between companies, the sketchy practice of "bridge payments" (I'll explain what those are), and why it seems like actual products take a backseat to endless recruitment.

I'm also going to break down something fascinating - how MLMs actually fit the criteria that cult expert Michael D. Langone uses to identify cult behavior. I've got plenty of real stories from my years in the industry to show you exactly what I mean about the manipulation, leader worship, and how they use exclusion to keep people in line.

But don't worry - I'm not just here to point out problems. I want to show you there are better ways to make money, like creating UGC (User-Generated Content) or getting into Amazon shoppable videos. Trust me, these alternatives are so much more empowering than the MLM model.

3 Key Takeaways:

  1. Imitation as a Business Strategy: Recognize that imitation can be a form of flattery in the digital world, but ensure that you have a unique voice and brand identity. Everyone is sharing similar information, and it's the aesthetic and personal touch that sets you apart.
  2. Managing Online Presence and Peace: Learn to use tools like the block button to protect your mental health and peace. Engaging in unnecessary online arguments can be draining and is rarely productive.

In this week’s episode, Maren shares her insights on a controversial yet pressing topic—whether kids' sports are more harmful than helpful to marriages and family dynamics. Drawing from her extensive experience as a former Division 1 head coach and a professional golfer, as well as recent research from the PGA of America, Maren breaks down the pressures and impacts of youth sports on families.

She also discusses practical solutions for maintaining a healthy balance and encourages parents to make informed decisions that benefit their entire family unit.

📌 Top 3 Takeaways:

  1. Balance is Crucial:
    • Over-committing to youth sports can strain marriages and family relationships. It's important to strike a balance that allows for both athletic participation and quality family time.
  2. Diversification in Sports:
    • Encouraging kids to play multiple sports rather than specializing early can reduce the risk of burnout and overuse injuries. The PGA of America recommends narrowing it down to three sports before puberty.
  3. Parental Involvement Matters:
    • Being present and engaged in your child's sports activities is vital. Parents should focus on quality interactions, offering support and encouragement, rather than just attending to fulfill an obligation.

In today's episode, we dive into a topic that's familiar to many of us - hitting rock bottom. This is something we've all experienced in different forms. It could be in a relationship or a friendship. It might have been a physical rock bottom, the moment you decided to take control of your health.

The truth is, we all hit that rock bottom moment where we declare, "This is enough." We realize that we can't keep living the way we have been. We can't keep accepting dishonesty from our spouse or partner.

We can't continue to be that friend who's always making the effort, without any reciprocation.

There are people who teach you how to make money.
There are people who teach you how to save money.
There are people who teach you how to pay off debt.
Nobody is teaching you how to EARN, KEEP & SPEND… until now.

This is exactly why I decided to develop a LIVE group coaching program to teach you HOW.

What sets my approach apart from the rest of the coaches and mentors out their promoting their courses? Well, I’ve taken my 15 plus years of Coaching experience and fused it with my business and economic-minded background.

I am a firm believer in creating multiple-streams of income to help you create freedom and flexibility in your life – freedom to be more in control of your life and the flexibility to live life on your terms.

It’s not about following cookie-cutter formulas or generic advice; it’s about crafting personalized strategies that align with individual strengths and marketing dynamics.

And now it isn't just big corporations promoting to you but the chick you went to high school with too.

So June has always been one of my favorite months. In fact, today is actually my birthday. It's always represented celebration, the start of summer, and great weather finally making its way to the northeast. But in the past 2 years, especially this year, I feel like June has become a month full of anger, pointing fingers, arguments, and more. And it's not lost on me or you that most of this stems from different groups of people feeling like they're being backed into a corner. People do not feel seen on either side. And while there should be inclusion and representation, the general consensus, as you've seen from the boycotts, is that the people just want it to be proportionate. So in this quick episode, I dive into some important facts and exactly what's at stake here.

Did you know that April is OT month? Me neither! But what exactly is occupational therapy anyway? It's a science-driven, evidence-based profession that enables people of all ages to achieve their goals and function at the highest level despite the fact that they might be living with injury, illness, or disability. Occupational therapists design strategies for everyday living and customize the plan based on an individual's personal environment in order to help them develop and maximize their potential. Each of us is born with God-given talents, skills, and strengths. Occupational therapists help clients tap into those attributes so that they can live their best life possible.

We discuss early signs of needing help and how to familiarize people with this amazing resource so that they and their families can thrive!
