Happy New Year! That is for those of you who have not heard it enough already! I love a new year and we are excited to start this year off with Abbie as our first 2022 podcast guest! I loved her energy (I will have what she's having) and even more than that - I loved her message, I think it fits...
What a year it has been! There have been a lot of highs and a lot of lows. Some of my most favorite memories and some memories I would like to never remember have come out of 2021.
In the episode we reflect on the year we had and what we want to change for 2022. I have to admit that I...
Scarcity mindset - it's a thing! I know what it feels like as a business to say yes just because you are afraid to say no...What if another client doesn't come along? What if another company gets the gig? What if I regret this ‘no” later? All of these feelings are valid - and pass...
Boundaries feel like a 4 letter word sometimes - especially as someone who is a people pleaser. My very first boundary that I struggled to make, but successfully held tight to, was with my parents when I was 19 years old. It wasn’t made because they were being terrible parents- rather it...
This week is one of our longest recordings and honestly the time just flew by! Jess was so wonderful to talk to and she left me really thinking and noodling on things for days after. The one thing she said that really stuck hard and really had me contemplating was when she was talking about how...
Is having a ridiculous goal really ridiculous? Even when we were talking this through - I could not conceive of a goal that I would deem ridiculous enough to not work toward! We have interviewed many people and benchmarks and goals are a reoccurring theme - from getting a purse you have been...
I remember when Beth said this in the interview and I felt an immediate jolt. I have felt this exact feeling -that life was happening TO me and not FOR me more times than I would like to admit. It was these times where I wasn’t an active participant in my life and felt personally...
A lesson I learned early on in business is that no matter what industry you are in, whether you are offering a product or a service or even just the best new idea; you have to be able to sell it - and not just whatever the product is, you have to be able to sell you too! Amie was so right when...
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...
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...
