We've got a new episode of the Gorgeous Effect and more in our weekly round-up of content for our Funnel Gorgeous community!

Reminder: Get Julie's Obsidian & Claude CoWork workshop in one of two places!​

✨The Gorgeous Effect - What if the problem really IS me?✨

In this episode, Cathy and Julie tackle the uncomfortable but universal feeling of being "the problem" when your business, tech skills, or social media just won’t click—no matter how hard you try or how many courses you take. They open up about their own insecurities, struggles with learning new technology, and the challenges of translating advice into action, even for seasoned pros.

From tech overwhelm in the FG Funnels community to the growing pains of mastering social media, this conversation strips away the myths around overnight success and reveals the messy, iterative process of learning, adapting, and sometimes putting your own spin on strategies. Tune in to hear honest stories, practical mindset shifts, and why a supportive, judgment-free learning environment can make all the difference—no matter where you are on your entrepreneurial journey.

đź’¸ Metrics Muse Download Reminder - From Invisible to Paid đź’¸

Don't forget to download your monthly Metrics Muse! This month’s drop is all about diagnosing your marketing line so you can stop guessing, stop over-crediting weak efforts, and see what is actually moving people toward revenue.

The 8 Steps From Invisible to Paid Diagnostic Spreadsheet helps you audit 11 different marketing initiatives across the full customer journey, from Attention all the way to Sale. Then your Custom GPT and Google Gemini Gem step in as AI Line Diagnostic Auditors to help you interpret what your scores are really telling you.

Instead of asking, “Am I doing enough marketing?” this drop helps you ask better questions: What is actually working at ideal capacity? Where is the line broken? What should I fix first?

This month's drop includes:

  • The 8 Steps From Invisible to Paid Diagnostic Spreadsheet: Your main diagnostic tool for evaluating how your current marketing initiatives support each stage of the customer journey.
  • Custom GPT + Google Gemini Gem: Your AI Line Diagnostic Auditors that help you assess your boxes honestly, identify your primary constraint, and decide what to focus on next.

đź’ŞFG Funnels Weekly Announcements đź’Ş

Here are your FG Funnels updates through April 23rd:

  • Calendar - Round Robin just got a whole lot smarter. FG Funnels now tracks bookings monthly and automatically routes new appointments to whoever has the fewest that month. If someone gets too far ahead, their availability is temporarily hidden until the rest of the team catches up.
  • E-Commerce - Store elements now surface at the top of the Add Elements panel whenever a store exists in your sub-account. If no store is connected yet, they sit neatly between the Blog and Media sections. Either way — no more hunting.
  • Workflows - This is a big one. You can now drag and move nodes directly on the workflow canvas — no more right-clicking and stepping through menus to reorganize. Hover over any node to reveal the drag handle, then drop it wherever the “Move here” indicator appears.
  • All of this and more! Check out all the updates here!​
