  • The REAL Cost of Pushing Through Your Pain

    In this episode I share some of the reasons I have held back from investing in myself and what it’s cost me.  For years I was just trying to figure out how to handle or manage my pain so when it came to thinking about anything else it all took the back seat. Have you ever felt that way about something or have even said, “I’ve got more important things to take care of, this can wait.”  I am the first to say that I am no pro at saying “Yes” to opportunities to invest in myself but when I have, it’s paid off and because of that I do my best to intentionally look for opportunities to invest in my emotional, mental and everything in between. I’ll share my perspective on the importance of investing in your mental and emotional health and how the choice of whether to invest or not can affect our success in life and business.

  • How to Embrace Your Passion & Create a Unique Product

    I am so excited to have Alicia Chester, founder of Our Southern Gentleman on the show. She is a seamstress, a maker of kids' accessories. She really encourages little boys and just little kids to act and dress like gentlemen and little ladies, and I totally love her vibe! If you've ever felt like you're trying to do all the things that everyone says that you're supposed to do and how you're supposed to do it but feel like #allthethings are not working…. Then you’ll love this conversation.

    So what I love about this conversation is that Alicia unapologetically embraces doing what works for her. She has tapped into the power of what creativity looks like for her, she’s embracing her unique ability to create with guidelines but then find her way and create her way of doing things. She’ll share what this looks in life and business and how it’s helped her to create a beautiful business that is unique, one of a kind, and truly taps into her creative zone of genius. So if you want to tap into your own zone of genius, maybe you can listen and tune in to this episode and be inspired and empowered to step into your unique gifts more.

  • How to build a paid digital subscription magazine & community

    As an introduction to our new collaboration series with The Handmade Seller Magazine, it was totally an absolute must to feature the woman and founder behind the community, Dani. Dani describes herself as always being artsy, crafty, and having a love of the handmade industry. From there she thought, what if we just had a place where everybody could share their stories and you could say that’s where the makings of the Handmade Seller Magazine started. It's like a monthly piece of comfort, that you can open every month and drink with your favorite cup of tea and read about other handmade sellers who are doing what you want to do.

  • How To Pivot In Your Creative Business with Julie Paisley

    Our featured guest today is Julie Paisley, photographer and pivot coach. In this episode she shares her journey from teacher to photographer and now pivot coach. Y'all this is not like any other conversation you’ve heard from someone who’s literally been at the top 2% of their industry. You'll be refreshed to know that you're not alone in the struggle no matter where you are in your journey. I don't know about you but it's too often that when I listen to others success stories it seems all glitz and glam with maybe only a couple bumps in the road. I can promise you that this is NOT one of those conversations. Julie gets real and raw about the emotional and physical toll of what running a creative business in hustle mode was like for her. From being featured on the front page of People to pivoting into a mainly education model Julie shares her gratitude and lessons learned in her journey so far.
