Hi everyone! For the longest time, I was scared to share what I was offering. I thought if people wanted it, they’d just somehow... find it? Or maybe I was just too afraid of looking like I was “selling.” But now that I’m on the other side of that - I get it. How would anyone know if I don’t tell them? We’re all swimming in so much online noise, and if I genuinely believe in what I’ve built (and I do!), I have to give people the chance to see it, ask questions, and say yes. Or no...and that's okay too! You'd think after 20+ years of being an actor in film & tv I'd be used to rejection...it all still hits the same if we let it. 🫢 So, after 9 months of growing and tbh kinda hiding, I finally launched my premium offer inside my free Skool community, and it feels really aligned: - I shared it inside my Classroom - I made a short video for it in the community and my About Page - Also loving this new usage of the Skool calendar - I added a recurring event that shows up in the top bar of the community every day and links to book a call with me so I can share my offer It’s so wild how long I hesitated to do something that now feels so obvious and so good. I guess that's the process of testing and growing! I’m also really leaning into leveraging so many of the features inside Skool to help support getting my offer out there. I'm currently testing out using the Public Mode and sharing community posts to people outside of Skool. I'm curious to know how you guys have setup your communities to help get your offers out there...I'm always for learning new ways to do it. Are you using the public feed? Free resources? Is there something that’s helped you get more eyes on your offer? Would love to learn about your behind the scenes methods! Happy to share more of mine also! Happy Building + Growing! ~ Elfina 💖

Hi everyone, Feels like a small Win but lots of 😵‍💫. After 8 months of building and overcomplicating the heck out of my setup… I stripped it back to what actually feels clear and aligned (for now). ✅ Simplified my classroom ✅ Moved the community back to free ✅ Locked in my lead gen flow (finally) ✅ Even created a free mini-course to share what’s working Posting this here in case anyone else is in the messy middle and needs permission to reset. Breakdown to follow. ——— It’s been 8 months since I joined Skool. Crazy. Some of you have been here just as long (or longer), and it’s been so cool to watch how much has changed—for all of us. I’ve loved seeing what you’ve tested, launched, rebuilt, and refined in your own communities. There’s something really motivating about watching people stay in it, even through the pivots. I was reminded recently of Hormozi’s Rule of 20%—that any big change will likely cost you 20% upfront (in time, money, or momentum). But if it’s aligned? Worth it. So, away I go with a few changes. Here’s where I’m at now, in case it’s helpful: I’ve decided to move my community back to free (yep—started as free > moved to paid > now back to free. More on that below). I also simplified the classroom (again) because—true story—I love building systems and sometimes overcomplicate things just for fun. 😂 But this time, I’m really leaning into simple and accessible. I’ve decided to focus on just one platform for lead gen—Instagram—because it’s easy to automate and feels the most sustainable right now. (Still not touching Facebook. Long story. Still unresolved.) I’ve also got a system now to turn content into longform YouTube videos within the community. (2 birds with 1 stone here so saving me time!) And because I still love backend systems and automation, I added a free course inside the community for anyone else who geeks out on that stuff too. ——— Somewhere along the way, I managed to “Frankenstein” my funnel by trying (and failing) to merge two different coaches’ models. 🤦🏻‍♀️ It so did not work. But I had a great laugh about it.

I want to share something really vulnerable with you today. This morning, I woke up to an Instagram comment that stung: "I wish Elifinaluk would stop spamming me." Ouch. (Yep, he didn't even spell my name right.) You know that immediate gut-punch feeling when you read something hurtful? Yeah, that one. My first reaction was defensive. I quickly replied, offering to remove them. But then something shifted as I was making breakfast for my daughter... I started really processing what I was feeling. After 20+ years in film and TV, you'd think rejection would slide right off me. But here's the truth: rejection always hurts, whether it's walking into an audition room or reading a comment online. And that's exactly what I want to share with you today. I know how terrifying it can be to show up online, to put yourself out there, to be vulnerable to judgment. When that fear of rejection hits, it typically does one of two things: 1. It can make us build walls, put up armor, and become less authentic (which ironically makes us less connectable) 2. Or worse - it can stop us from even trying, keeping us from pursuing what we truly desire But here's what I've learned after processing thousands of rejections throughout my career: trying to brush it off or tell yourself "it doesn't bother me" doesn't actually help. It just suppresses those very real feelings. And you know what happens when we suppress feelings? They're just boiling to come back up stronger than before. So, here was my process today: 1️⃣ I honored my hurt feelings. Yes, rejection stings - and that's okay. 2️⃣ Divinely, this very suitable quote landed in my inbox this morning: "Your value doesn't decrease based on someone's inability to see your worth." (Was a sign I am meant to share this message with you today.) 3️⃣ I chose to use this experience to connect more deeply with you, turning vulnerability into strength. Because here's the beautiful truth: when we allow ourselves to be vulnerable and process our feelings authentically, we become more real, more relatable, and more connected to the humans on the other side of the screen.

There's something about certain songs that grab hold of your soul and don't let go. I've spent the day listening to Noah Kahan's "Stick Season Forever" with my daughter - that's the album of the day, maybe the week – raw, honest, cutting straight through to what's real. The way those melodies wrap around you like an old friend who knows exactly what you're feeling, even when you can't find the words yourself. That's the kind of presence we're called to create. Not just showing up, but showing up in a way that echoes in people's bones long after we've left the room. Think about it – years from now, people might not remember the exact words you spoke, but they'll never forget how you made them feel in that moment. Your authentic presence has its own melody. Sometimes it's as gentle as acoustic guitar strings in the morning light. Other times it's as powerful as a chorus that makes you want to roll down the windows and sing at the top of your lungs. Both are perfectly, uniquely yours. Take this moment: Close your eyes. Let yourself really feel into these questions: What emotion does your presence create in others? Is it like that first warm day of spring after a long winter? The quiet understanding in a friend's kitchen at midnight? The surge of courage that comes when someone believes in you before you believe in yourself? --------------- Share below: What's your emotional signature? How do you want people to feel when they encounter your energy? Like a song that finds you at exactly the right moment, your authentic presence has the power to shift something in someone else's world. Trust that your way of being – even the parts that feel like they're still finding their rhythm – is exactly the medicine someone else needs today. We're not here to perform perfection. We're here to create resonance. To strike that chord that reminds others they're not alone in this beautiful, messy, human experience. With love & intention, Elfina 💖
