Bobbi and I first met at a conference last year called FinCon and actually the week that this episode goes out I'll be at the 2018 FinCon conference and will be seeing Bobbi again!

We both come from the media world and I was so excited to invite her onto the podcast to share what a day in her life is like.

Bobbi and I chat about what being a financial grown up means to her, how listeners can live a financially free life, personal finance mistakes people make often, one thing she would have done when she was younger to set herself up for financial success, what investments she would suggest you start making now (and it's probably NOT what you thin), and so much more!

Excited for you to tune in and hope you enjoy!

Today's mini-sode we're talking about creativity and how it can make your life better.

Creativity was a topic that came a lot throughout my interview with Eric Lee of Left Field Labs both in the workplace and in life.

I think most people either label themselves as "creative" or "not creative" but in reality, everyone is creative in their own individual way.

Creativity is one of the most important characteristics of being human. A creative mind can enrich your life, making life so much more interesting instead of going aimlessly throughout your days. Being creative doesn't mean that you have to be an artist, maker, or creator of some sort...there are ways to be creative throughout your daily life and that's what we're going to cover in today's minisode!

I share a personal example of how I'm trying to creatively approach a new way thinking about how I spend my time and I'd love to hear your thoughts on creativity. Be sure to head on over to the Facebook group and join the conversation!

Today's mini-sode we're talking about building authentic relationships.

One thing that came up during this week's interview with Elizabeth Laime was the importance of building relationships with people.

Of course building relationships with people when you're trying to break into the entertainment industry can be super valuable but EVERYONE can get value out of authentic relationship building.

As someone that specializes in offering public relations services, relationship building is so important and one thing I really pride myself on. I LOVE teaching people how to be better at building relationships and I also love learning about it too.

(P.S. If you want to learn how to cultivate authentic relationships with journalists, check out this free class I did with Day in the Life guest and freelance writer Alli Hoff Kosik.

So, during this week's minisode, I share two tips on how you can be better at building authentic relationships.

Excited for you to tune in and hope you enjoy!

Hey hey happy minisode Friday! This week's interview with Nicholas Collins was a fun one and one thing we talked about a lot was social media and the presence it plays in kids lives.

As someone that started their career in social media, I've always had a weird relationship with it. Like, part of me loves it and it's brought me to some of my closest friends. It can definitely be used for inspiration and connection.

But the other part of me really struggles with it because I don't want to feel constantly tied to my phone and to be honest, I like having part of my life private. I don't want to share EVERYTHING about my life.

It's hard for me to completely disconnect because it is very tied to my job, but at times I do have to completely step away.

In today's minisode, I share reasons why we should ALL spend less time on social media and 3 tips on how you can limit your time.

Excited for you to tune in and hope you enjoy!

Today's mini-sode we're featuring a compilation of the best parts of people's days!

One question I ask every guest on the Day in the Life podcast is "what is the best part of your day." I think it's a great question to ask because it's a reminder that on most days, there is a highlight or something good or great happened. Of course we all have bad days, but I like to try and focus on the positive even when your day is subpar.

This compilation features a variety of past Day in the Life guests and what their best parts of their days are.

I hope you enjoy!

On today's show, I have Haiyun Damon-Feng who is a Staff Attorney at KIND, which stands for Kids in Need of Defense.

Haiyun and I attended college together and lived in the same house and she had recently traveled to the Texas/Mexico border with KIND to speak with parents who had been detained and taken away from their children.

Haiyun shared her experience on her Facebook profile and this prompted me to ask her to come onto the podcast to share what a day in her life is like, what KIND does, what people misconstrue about refugee families, how she handles a career that is very emotionally and mentally taxing, what she struggles with the most and so much more.

At times this episode is gut wrenching but I think it's an important topic to discuss publicly, especially for those of us living in the States.

If you want to talk about this topic more with other listeners, I'd love to have you in the Day in the Life Facebook group.

Today's mini-sode we're talking about budgeting! I was not always a budgeter, that's for sure. In fact, I really didn't start budgeting until about 6 years ago, when I was 24 years old.

There are plenty of ways to budget: some people prefer using apps, others prefer using a specific spreadsheet.

One thing that I've learned as an adult is that it's extremely important to plan ahead and budget. Budgeting is what allowed me to start my own business and get ahead at life.

In this episode, I share why budgeting is important and more importantly, how to get started!

Enjoy!
