What I've learned after the HEAT I've gotten over the last few episodes since I relaunched the pod:

- Don't sugarcoat your truths. SPEAK UP, and don't feel bad about your perspective of a shared experience.

- Don't wait for approval from anyone else. The "right time" may never come and that'll leave you regretting what could've been.

This week's episode dives into the difference between finding your purpose and aligning with your purpose. Renee shares her favorite techniques for practicing visualization and how to identify if you're out of alignment with your true purpose. 

For more on aligning with your purpose, listen to one of her favorite podcasters, Jay Shetty's episode on just that! 

Your feedback, ratings and reviews on BTP make my heart sing! If you gained anything from this podcast, or just enjoyed spending some time with me and you would be so kind as to leave a 5 star review, it would be so appreciated!

Talk to you next week, xoxo Renee

Have you ever done a background check on a guy you're about to go out with? Or does a quick Google search suffice? Hmm..

Triggered by a conversation with a close friend, we dive into the two F's your relationship should be achieving and what to do when it's just not quite hitting the mark.

It has been on my heart to jump back into BTP for quite some time now! This is a quickie episode to recap what's been going on the last year and to reintroduce the relaunch of BTP! Lot's of Re's... 

I've missed connecting with you SO much and I finally dusted off the old microphones (which I still can't remember how to work, so I apologize for the AirPod-quality audio), and just decided to hold myself accountable, and take the baby steps to getting restarted. I honestly just figured this would save me some money on therapy, HA! I still laugh at my own jokes if anyone was curious. 

Genuinely, I hope you are all well and I just want to thank you for the patience, the support and the love. I'm not sure how often I'll be jumping on here (baby steps), but I promise that we'll talk again soon! xoxo Renee.

After a month-long hiatus, we're finally back to recording and we're sitting down with Holly McIntosh of J&D Cellars Winery to talk about Veronica's favorite beverage.. WINE!

We've known Holly for a few years now, and her captivating personality and has intrigued us from day 1. Her knowledge about wine and the importance of marketing while operating a business, is only PART of her story. In this episode, Holly shares the backstory of J&D Cellars Winery, which is a family business with her step father John, mother Dottie, and brother Brandon. We talk to Holly about her pivots through the pandemic and the new product offering that took their business to the next level- leading the business to expand in more ways than one!

As a teaser, you'll hear us mention our zodiac signs once or twice and the reason being, Holly also does oracle card readings and has an insanely deep understanding of astrology and really just all things spirituality, in general. We're bringing Holly back on for a second episode for an on-air card reading for both Renee and Veronica. It's SPOOKY accurate, people!

Ok, well this might not work for everyone, but Kara Shields of Kvault Apparel has turned this pipe dream into her own reality. From an idea she had an college to a business that eventually led her to quitting her 9-5 and moving to an island of Hawaii, we sat down with fellow business owner and Pittsburgh native, Kara to hear more about her journey in business and how pivoting during a global pandemic changed the trajectory of her life. 

We talked to Kara about how important branding is in the currently saturated vintage marketplace, and the drive and faith it takes to keep pushing yourself through when it feels like you're starting from the ground up. 

Give Kara a follow on her vintage apparel instagram account, @kvaultbrand. As always, we hope you loved this episode! We would LOVE if you could leave us a rating/review on Apple podcasts and share this episode on your instagram story, don't forget to tag @boldtypepodcast.

We've given you guys our tips on staying disciplined and having structure in your day-to-day to help manage the stresses of life and business. There are a ton of benefits to having a routine and we couldn't live without, specifically for us *morning* routines, but there are benefits to also leaning into flexibility. 

Being flexible is a necessary part of life as we all know, but it is even more critical when it comes to running any sort of business. There's a thin line between being stuck in your routine and being so loosey-goosey that you feel like a total scatterbrain. We're here to help you navigate that line and to show you the benefits of both. Whether you're coming from a super rigid background or you spend your days just going with the flow, we hope you find part 2.. (and part 1, which you can find back in episode 17) helpful!

As always, we would LOVE and appreciate a rating and review on apple podcasts, a follow on our instagram account @boldtypepodcast and we welcome and questions, feedback or inspo for future episodes at [email protected]. 

Part ONE: We find that there's a thin line between staying disciplined and being flexible, but to succeed in life and business, we believe you need a delicate balance of both! 

In this episode, we talk about our journeys learning how to structure our lives around our businesses' and vice versa to scale and grow. We dive into the benefits of staying disciplined and how the ripple effect can drastically change the way you show up in your life. Plus, we share some tips on feeling on top of your to-do lists!

Join us next week for part TWO, where we talk about the benefits of learning to be flexible and accept change in life and business. 

As always, if you loved this episode please share it with a friend and tag us on your instagram story @boldtypepodcast. We would love to get our show in front of as many people as possible and with your help we can do that!

Why we're encouraging anyone who's ever thought about starting their own business to START NOW: Veronica and Renee both started their businesses in their early twenties and believe that you can either 'build your business around your life' or 'build your life around your business'. 

When you start young and start before the responsibilities of life really set it, you have less at stake. You don't have to worry about risking it all to leave your 9-5 and possibly not be able to put food on the table for your family while you get this idea off the ground. We totally understand that mental battle can stop you from pursuing your dreams and that's why we hope this episode inspires you to just start now. The longer you wait to start your business, the more you'll be risking and the harder it will be to jump in without hesitation. 

We hope you loved this quicky episode that was packed full of tips and stories from our experiences of starting our businesses young. If you are planning to start a business and want to hear more of our stories, stick around and keep listening to BTP and follow us on instagram for the inside scoop on new episodes! Shoot us an email at [email protected] to be featured on our show!

This is the episode where we share some advice we wish someone had given us before starting our businesses! We can both agree the most important being:

We hope you love this episode and we encourage you to JUST START. If you've been wanting to start your own business or just explore a new industry or just try something new in general- you have to start somewhere. Don't wait until the perfect moment because it's not ever going to feel perfect. If it does, that's when you know you waited too long..

As always, we hope you enjoyed this episode of BTP and we would love to hear from you on IG @boldtypepodcast or [email protected].
