Oh snap! Economic recession, personal health issues, so much other LIFE things happening!

It's a down time right now, y'all. 
Not gonna lie or sugarcoat it.
BUT! If ya know me,
ya know that I very much still lie on the believer side.
On the positivity route. On trusting that all is happening as it should.

So if you're going through some stuff too,
let's band together!
Talking about how to deal with it when everything is going to sh*t.

In this week's "I Heart Chocolate Podcast," I'm sharing common pitfalls that I see many chocolatiers fall into.

This one is off the cuff, so pardon the sporadic jumps in it, BUT I do feel this podcast will illuminate for many of you where you may be finding yourself stuck.

Also! If you didn't know, one of the common pitfalls chocolatiers fall into is not knowing how to use their space most efficiently. Shameless plug but I do have a March Masterclass coming out March 29th 10 am PST appropriately titled "Small Kitchen: Super Workflow." You can join here and have lifetime access to the replay: https://www.codinhachocolatementorship.com/offers/gHQ3S9sw/checkout

Alrighto then, catch you on the next episode!

Hey chocolatiers! On today's episode, I got to chat with my friend, Matthew Allyn about all things content and social media. Matthew is a Leadership, Business, and Marketing Coach who helps entrepreneurs stand out in their industry via social media, messaging, and authenticity aka all the things that chocolatiers need to be doing more of!

There are a lot of golden nuggets within this episode so be sure to give it a good listen AND truly start implementing! You're hearing from the "Content King" himself!

For more, be sure to give Matthew a follow over on Instagram:

We all have the potential to be EXCELLENT. Sidenote: what a wonderful word that isn't used very much today, am I right?

ANYWAYS, today's podcast is short and sweet but so on point and deeply inspired by one of my childhood heroes, Kobe Bryant. 

Living up to a standard of excellence can be a really useful tool to maximize your full potential. I've been listening to a lot of his motivational talks from past years and it really resonated with me.

Enjoy this short but much needed reminder of a podcast :)

Today's episode is a raw one! No outline, no script, but just purely what's been on my mind and my heart lately as I've been dealing with some personal things these last few weeks.

I hope that if this episode resonates with you, you know that I am here to support you. 

It became very clear to me that I'm grateful to have this platform. I feel that there's many of you out there who can connect with many things I'm saying, and though this one is more personal, it is all very true and I just wanted to hold space and have the conversation that mental health is important ESPECIALLY when you're working on yourself and on your business.

Hey chocolate friends! This topic was suggested by one of our listeners (thanks so much for this btw!), and I think a very important and relevant topic to today's chocolatier: What does it really take to build a successful online business in terms of getting the customers?

No customers, no business, right? In today's episode, I break down 5 tips for you to think about as you are building out your business and hopefully to use as a checklist of things to make sure you're staying on top of or where you can improve.

As always, if you did not know, best place to start learning more about chocolate business for free is via the Passion to Choc Biz Facebook group!  https://www.facebook.com/groups/1335109586929852

Next chocolatiers' chat will be happening after Valentine's Day.

ALSO! If I'm sounding extra passionate on this episode, it is because I care so dang much about this part of the chocolate journey. For the LONGEST time, I felt like I couldn't get things right and I did literally ALL the things possible for this second business, Codinha Chocolate, to truly get off. I get it! Truly!

If you're interested in working together to build up your online choc biz, we are currently accepting mentees for 4 Weeks, 3 months, 6 months, or 1 year. Simply slide into our DMs cause that is where the magic happens aka conversations!

Have a fabulous Friday!-Tina

Having goals without taking action is useless. In my experience, and not to toot, but pretty much every single goal I set for myself, I reach it.

In today's podcast, I'm sharing with your my simple process of how I do exactly that.

Get to goal setting, chocolatier and get to moving!!

We all go through it from time to time, but how can we avoid it? Or how can we get better from it?

Talking about burnout....my personal experience with it, things I've seen other chocolatiers go through, and how to prepare for it better mentally and physically.

Key: it starts with taking care of you.

Oh beware assumptions for they make an a** out of you and me.

Hey chocolate friends! In this week's episode, sharing with you a recent experience I had via social media when I made the mistake to not be super clear in my messaging. The result? Assumptions.

Assumptions, assumptions, assumptions.

Let's talk about it. Please learn from my mistake and don't do this!

2023 is off to a fast start, y'all!

Let's take a moment to set the tone and really embrace who we are being called to be. That is all the vibe in today's short but sweet but sense of ooo-rah first post for the new year.

Let's get it!!
