Community

We are well into December now and you are probably feeling the weight of expectations that the holiday season brings for your business. You can be tempted to do the big sale and ramp up efforts, but that might not be what you or your business needs in this season!

Should you strive for holiday hustle or holiday rest? Does your product or service even make sense to be on sale during the holidays?

Kristina and Maria are answering that and more on this holiday season episode of Community!

They also discuss overcoming comparison and imposter syndrome during the crowded holiday season, how to use the holidays to prepare for a successful new year, and nurturing community amidst the ‘salesyness’ of this time of year. 

When others zig, you can zag! Don’t fall victim to the pressure of a holiday sale if it isn’t aligned for you, continue nurturing your community, take rest, and when the right time comes, show up with full energy!

What are you trying in your business this holiday season? DM us, we’d love to connect with you!

In part 2 of this conversation with Kathy Samaan, CEO and Principal Designer of Samaan Design Group and SDG Construction. Kristina and Kathy are going deeper into the messy, uncomfortable parts of life and business, the "goop phase." You know, that awkward, sticky middle where nothing feels figured out, but that's where transformation happens. Kathy talks about how the goal shouldn’t be to run from the ‘goop’, but to embrace the goop, learn from it and become comfortable with some discomfort.

Kristina and Kathy also discuss the ripple effect of kind community, and how powerful referrals and acts of kinds can be in business.

Tune in to hear why Kristina and Kathy believe that staying authentic, open, and kind, even when it’s not reciprocated, is always the right move.

Do you feel like you’re in a ‘goop’ phase right now? You're not alone and this episode is for you!

Welcome to Community! In this episode Kristina is joined by Kinsey Soderberg, founder of Feel Good Social and Authentic AI! Kinsey discusses her journey from starting out as a social media manager to becoming an AI expert and launching her own brand dedicated to helping entrepreneurs use AI in authentic, stress-free ways.

Kinsey shares about her initial resistance to AI and how she overcame those “AI scaries” by reframing it as a tool for authenticity and efficiency. With a focus on “one tool, one task, one day at a time,” she emphasizes how to start small by integrating tools like ChatGPT into your existing workflows, saving significant time without compromising your brand’s unique voice.

Kinsey also touches on the importance of breaking down the gender gap in AI usage and encourages more women to embrace these tools to stay competitive and build efficiency.

Tune in for Kinsey’s actionable tips to starting out with AI and making it a valuable member of your team!
