When I rebranded the podcast, I was ready for business to boom, my podcast to skyrocket, and my content to be off the chain. Instead, I got caught up in vanity metrics and forgot to take my own advice (whoops!).

So I'm switching it up! I have made the decision to go back to biweekly episodes, and the relief I feel is like a big ol' wave of calm. For me, it's not about being the biggest podcast out there, but rather making a real impact, connecting with amazing people, and sharing information I love and am passionate about.

Here's what I'm talking about:

• The traps of vanity metrics and mixed messaging
• Scaling back and prioritizing the good stuff
• Taking my own advice, taking a step back, and taking a big breath

What if your content was a beautiful body of work? A collection of videos, blog posts, or podcast episodes that were so good people felt like they just found a hidden box full of treasure?

Put on your imagination caps for a moment and pretend that you're an artist making a gallery show, but it's filled with all of your content. It needs to be visually appealing, fun for people to look at, and probably a little thought-provoking to keep people coming back, right? Every piece of the content can stand on its own, but together it's like, wow... *chefs kiss*

That is a body of work. I want you to think of your content as a body of work. When someone lands on your blog or your podcast or whatever, they're seeing all this amazing work that you're doing and they see this sort of thread that goes through it like you're making the most curated, amazing little gallery show of your content.

In this episode, I talk about:

• My new fancy signature framework
• Finish this sentence, “You know what would be really cool if I _____________________.”
• How your content can be your body of work
