In this episode, I’m joined by email marketing strategist Skye Bailey for a conversation that completely shifted how I think about email—and honestly, how I’ll be showing up in my business moving forward.
This is not a fluffy “you should probably send emails” conversation. This is about what actually works, especially if you’re a small business owner doing a lot with limited time, energy, or support.
Skye shares her journey from retail and data-driven roles into becoming an email expert, and breaks down the biggest mistakes she sees (that most of us are making 👀), along with the simplest shifts that can create real results, fast.
Inside this episode, we chat about:
- Why emailing your whole list might be hurting your results
- How to use engaged segments (and why they matter more than list size)
- How often you actually need to be emailing (this might surprise you)
- The power of waitlists—and how to turn them into real conversions
- How to approach launches without feeling spammy or overwhelming
- What to focus on if you only have 1–2 hours a week for email
- Lead magnets that actually convert (and why most don’t anymore)
- Reframing unsubscribes and what they really mean for your business
If you’ve been underutilising your email list, overthinking what to send, or quietly avoiding it… this episode will shift that.

Sky builds email strategies for small eCommerce brands who are doing a lot with not much, limited time, lean teams, and a never-ending to do list.
Sky cares about two things, emails that are optimised to drive sales, not just look good, and making email feel doable, not like a giant project you keep putting off.
