  • 14. What We STRUGGLE With Most In Life + Biz

    Struggling to overcome the overwhelm? US TOO! Each year of operating a business we learn more and more about the mental (and sometimes even physical) challenges we are faced with on a daily basis.

    • WARNING SIGNS OF BURNOUT
    • HOW TO OVERCOME OVERWHELM
    • AVOIDING THE COMPARISON TRAP
    • SETTING YOURSELF UP FOR THE DAY YOU WANT TO HAVE
    • We also share an important quote that shows the mindset of hustlers and how difficult it can be to truly take days off and settle the mental chatter even when you do decide to take some time to relax and unwind. Taking time for yourself is not selfish, it is NECESSARY and it is going to keep you healthy, motivated, and focused.

    • 12. Building A Digital Marketing Business with Hannah Samlall
      We are digging into the world of 9-5s and what pushed entrepreneurs, Hannah Samlall and her sister Rachel to launch Waterloo Street, their very own digital marketing turned website design business! In this episode we talk about making the jump from corporate to running your own business and Hannah's experience with shifting business models during a pandemic, to trusting her gut and moving across the east coast to follow her true passion. 
      In this episode, we touch on the importance of building a female network and the supportive role other business owners play in our lives. We loved diving into conversation about all things owning a business as a female like dealing with "headache" clients, setting boundaries in business, scheduling mental breakdowns (it's a real thing, people!) and where to turn when you need a little extra support!
      We hope you love this episode! Follow along at @boldtypepodcast on instagram, or shoot us an email at [email protected] with your feedback and/or recommendations for future guests/topics!

    • 11. What We Were BOTH "Diagnosed" With In 2020!

      We've mentioned on the podcast before that we were BOTH "diagnosed" with PCOS this past year, but never went into detail about our experiences and our struggles with this lifelong condition. Through our own research and just talking to our clients, friends and followers, we discovered that SO many of you are experiencing the same situation and having trouble knowing where to turn. We want to be advocates for not only business, beauty and boutiques, but wellness all around! 


      What has worked for US so far:

      • Gluten and dairy free, for the most part! 
      • Being more mindful about soy, sugar, and anything processed- ORGANIC, if possible.
      • Exercising daily, even if it's just a walk!
      • Relaxation and stress relief, journaling, meditation, yoga, talking to a friend- whatever works for you!
      • Getting your hormones tested regularly
      • Talking with others who have a similar/same diagnosis
      • BE YOUR OWN ADVOCATE, no one knows your body like YOU do!

      • 7. Balancing Act Part 2: Effective Communication In Personal and Business Relationships

        Last week we talked all about boundaries, how to define them, how to uphold them, etc. This week, we are going into detail about our personal struggles with COMMUNICATING those boundaries and just communicating in general. Whether you're having trouble communicating with a business partner, a colleague, a friend, a family member or a significant other, we want you to know you're not alone! And we want you to know that communicating with men is basically like teaching them how to speak a foreign language.. it's tough and it takes practice! 

        We hope you take something away from our stories about how communication has become a factor in our personal relationships. We want to hear YOUR best/worst communication mishap! Shoot us an email [email protected] and we'll potentially read yours on the next episode!

        Don't forget to leave us a rating/review if you are loving what you've heard so far from Renee and Veronica! We appreciate you and can't wait to bring you more entertaining content next week!

      • 6. Balancing Act Part 1: Giving You 6 Tips for Setting Boundaries With Yourself + In Your Relationships

        Part 1: We are chatting all things BOUNDARIES! Not everyone's favorite topic because 99% of the time we could all use some work in this department! This is a super relevant topic for twenty-somethings who are either just now learning what boundaries are or are finally putting them into practice. We hope you enjoy our conversation about our personal struggles with setting boundaries and how overcoming the struggle of setting them can strengthen your relationship with yourself and with others. 


        The 'spark notes' version of this episode:

        • Defining boundaries, exploring your own boundaries and how to uphold them in business, relationships (friendships, family, SO) and in your own personal life. 
        • Knowing your worth and having self confidence: choosing yourself and choosing what YOU want
        • Avoiding burnout and spreading yourself too thin
        • Fighting expectations others have of you and the 'victim mentality' when you don't put yourself first

        About Bold Type Podcast

        From the publisher's feed

        Not every one is the Bold Type, but everyone has the ability to step into their purpose and show the world the most confident version of themselves. The fact is that we as humans learn best through experience- whether that be our own, first-hand, or through the stories and lessons of others.
