"Because life is just a series of choices and goofing up." - Rachel Sheerin

What a great conversation I got to have with Rachel and Alyssa! I can't believe it has been over 2 years since Rachel was on last! She is always a joy and such a breath of fresh air. There were so many nuggets, and so...

“Am I doing things to purposely drain my bucket? Did I punch my own hole in my bucket? What should I try to plug and say, this isn't serving me well?”

I am loving these conversations with our honorary sisters – it has been such a blast! This was such a good convo with Jessica! I...

Before we jump into today’s episode, I want to first give you a quick intro into how we are podcasting this season. Courtney is currently taking a little sabbatical to focus on her family and rest. It is so fitting that we are talking all about work life balance this season. I am so proud...

"Life's about relationships, community, and making people feel seen. So, I feel like that is it, that is my life work and I will forever do this work."

What an honor to chat with someone so inspiring and passionate about the important work she is doing, and right in our backyard! First, If you...

I" can look back on our past and be like, okay, we've been through X, Y, Z, this is gonna be fine. I garner strength from what we did in the past because I knew how strong we were and what we could get through, so it lets me know, oh, we're gonna get through this too."

Just a quick hello on this...

"At some point you have to evaluate if it's in the best interest to walk away - when you are considering walking away, are you walking away because that's the easy thing to do? Are you walking away because you just don't have any more fight? why are you walking away? If you can't come up with a...

"I feel like we've bulldozed through a lot in our business, and I don't accept that any longer. Like I think, even though sometimes circumstances don't allow you to celebrate greatly, I think that peaks should be acknowledged in general. Because when running a small business it feels like that...

"You know, you look back at it and you're like, I could have seen that coming, but you're also right in the thick of it, so you're just like, what the hell's going on?"

Haven’t we all been there ?? I think every entrepreneur has experienced the proverbial hindsight - and they say it’s...

Brandee’s story is SO much like ours. It was almost like looking at our story in an alternate dimension. I really resonated with this part of her journey. The messy middle. I don’t think I have ever heard a more accurate description of this part of business. 

The messy middle is...

What a great conversation we had with Rachel! I connected so much with her and the journey that got her where she is today. There were so many great things that Rachel said- but this really stuck out to me. I remember when she said this and I immediately got chills because I have felt this!...

"When you've been in business for that long, I'm sure there were moments that were dicey and lean and hard, but you can look back and think that even though it felt like a low at that time - all things are working together to get you to where you're at."

It is such an honor to talk to someone who...

I feel this deeply. It is hard to imagine when we started out where we would be today. C and D was a hobby and a promise of a dream. It didn’t really have to make any money, it just needed to fuel our creativity and expose us to an industry that we hoped we  would one day be a part of....
