Owning a business can be hard, soul crushing, and seemingly unending at times. There are days that I work all day, get the kids fed and in bed, and work well into the night to get my list done! I have had to make numerous personal sacrifices personally to get to where we are today  - and you...

Failure. 

Who hates that word?! I know that I do. I hate failing. I hate being wrong, and I hate disappointing myself. Failure was (and still can sometimes be) a hard thing to come to terms with. What I LOVED about this episode with Jordan was that he put into words something I felt but...

I loved it when Jordan said that “no one wants to expose the underbelly of their business” and it made me think about how hard it really is to be authentic on social media or wherever we are client facing. To be a small business nowadays feels like you have to constantly project an...

Therapy - Just the word can evoke so many conflicting emotions- fear, failure, anxiety, relief, angst, joy. All of those emotions are valid and not any of them should keep you from therapy when it is needed! I have been to a therapist during many seasons in my life and it was always so helpful to...

I grew up being told I could do and be whatever I wanted to be. I told them I wanted to be President one day - my parents were all for it. I told them I wanted to be the best softball player - my dad coached my team. My dreams were never shot down and I was never told - “Maybe your dreams...

In a world where there are critics everywhere and you are literally one in billions, do you struggle with feeling significant? I had no idea that our conversation would turn into a legit therapy session - but it was so cathartic to really dig deep and unpack why I do the things I do. Why do I...

Do you have Self-Limiting thoughts? Is your self perception or ingrained beliefs holding you back from what you are really capable of? I love how Amanda tackles these thoughts that we all have, head on! Amanda is such a real and authentic voice on Insta and Social, I have followed her for a while...

One of the biggest pieces of advice we hear over and over again is “just start! Don’t think about it, just do it!” And while I think that is a great piece of advice, I loved how Greg pushed back on that a little. Yes- just start, but also make sure you understand your why and...

I am so excited for you to hear this episode with Greg Hedgepeth, founder of Substantial Magazine based out of Eastern NC. I loved his ability to use storytelling and anecdotes to provoke thoughts and promote actions! This conversation could have gone on forever as he is such a dynamic and...

Have you ever played small? Has there ever been a time where you minimized who you were or what you felt because you thought it was easier or less scary?

You are not alone! I think we all can recall moments in our life when this has happened. I am here to tell you that I STILL do it! Me, a 37...

Last week we spoke with Courtney Bowman, founder and CEO of Raleigh Cheesy. I remember being so nervous bringing up the ALDI drama and wasn’t sure how vulnerable she would be. If you have listened - you will know that she did not disappoint and was so vulnerable and real about how...

This episode was so much fun to record because we have known Courtney for many years and through many stops on her life journey; as a calligrapher, as a teacher, as a client, and now as a charcuterie master! All along the way I have appreciated her authenticity and how she always showed up right...
