ill communication: copywriting tips & sales strategies for small businesses
As a small business owner, you know copywriting is one of the essential “skills to pay the bills.” But how often do you sit down at your laptop and struggle with knowing what and how to write? You’re not alone. It’s difficult to write your own copy (even for pro copywriters). Plus, when you’re juggling a family, clients, and a team... there just isn’t enough time in the day to do it all. It’s why sending an email to your list or updating your website never gets crossed off your to-do list.
Enter ill communication: copywriting tips and sales strategies for small businesses. Each bite-sized episode is designed to give you easy, actionable (and fun) writing tips to help you craft your sales copy faster, create more engagement, and generate more sales. Tune in weekly to hear expert copy coach and die-hard Beastie Boys fan, Kim Kiel, drop a juicy tip, writing prompt, or sales formula you can take action on immediately. You’ll never have to wonder WTF to write again.

What’s saving my life right now - December 2025
In this episode, I'm taking a pause from the business hustle to share what's actually keeping me grounded and functioning during this busy season.
Hear all about my new skincare obsession (complete with a quartz roller that resets my entire nervous system) to a spa subscription that's forcing me to actually take care of myself, plus the weirdest life-saver of all: beans. Yes, beans.
I'm getting real about the small things that are creating big shifts in how I move through my days - including a mantra that stops me from spinning out and why I finally let go of expectations that were draining my mental peace.
Consider this your permission slip to find joy in the little things.
