April 27, 2022878. Why Less Is More When It Comes To Systems And Workflows
We’ve been getting alot of DMs about how we keep track of and organize our ideas, plans, and projects. Lauren and I are diving in on the tech systems that we use, how we prioritize tasks, and why we keep things as simple and user-friendly as possible. It might surprise people to hear that we rely on Google Drive for just about everything, but Lauren is a master at building out progress trackers and dashboards that keep everyone dialed in on what they need to be doing. She also is great at keeping tabs on bigger-picture items. I share how I personally organize the notes section on my phone, and why it’s so important to sit with your ideas for a little bit instead of sharing every single thought with your team. We also highlight why it’s so important to niche down and start with a very focused vision, even when you have big dreams for your company.

IN THIS EPISODE, WE TALK ABOUT:
Figuring out which ideas are worth pursuing, and which ones can be put on the back burner
How we keep track of contacts who have offered help or a favor in the past
Learning how to become more organized as an ideator
Our flagging process with emails
Limiting distractions within our workflows and systems
Integrating Simon Sinek’s Start With Why approach
Simplifying our opt-in plan

April 26, 2022877. 3 Ways We Have Created Our Dream Life (That You Can Do Too!)
Chris and I had this moment on our walk through our new neighborhood in Newport where we realized that we’re building the life that we always dreamed of. We want to share the formula that we’ve used to get here, and even though it’ll look different for everyone, these tips can help you get to where you want to be no matter where that is. Not only do you have to have outlandish and legacy-building dreams, but you have to surround yourself with people who have the same mindset. You’re going to bump up against family and friends who think that you’re going against their lifestyle, but it’s important to remind yourself that you’re becoming the best version of yourself. You also have to be willing to make investments that stretch you, whether it’s in yourself through programs and mentors, or your finances through stocks and assets.

IN THIS EPISODE, WE TALK ABOUT:
What we do to keep our dreams alive everyday
The struggles of going against family patterns
Addressing people who told us we were getting caught up in the ‘California lifestyle’
Choosing to hold yourself to higher standards and bigger dreams
Why you can’t reach your goals by playing it safe

April 25, 2022876. Neuroscientist Dr. Ethan Kross On How To Control Your Inner Voice And Optimize The Chatter
Learning how to regulate my inner voice and shift into positive self-talk has been one of the greatest tools that I’ve learned in my entrepreneurial journey. I’m joined by Dr. Ethan Kross, who is a leading expert on training the voice inside your head. He’s an experimental psychologist, neuroscientist, and writer who specializes in emotion regulation, and he recently published a book all about how to transform the chatter in your head so that it works for you instead of against you. We discuss how to tune in and listen to your subconscious, rewire those thought patterns, and use your inner voice as an ally. Ethan shares his top tips for managing performance anxiety and what to do if you’re stuck in an anxious cycle.

IN THIS EPISODE, WE TALK ABOUT:
What inspired Ethan to hone in on this topic
Four things that chatter is good for
Reframing the physiological symptoms of anxiety
Ethan’s ‘2AM chatter’ strategy
Advice for how to coach yourself on controlling your conscious mind
The art of being an advisor

April 21, 2022875. The Exact Path I Took To Making Anything Possible
There’s one thing that I’ve been able to pinpoint as a thread throughout all my success and any of the larger amounts of money that I've been able to make: I put myself into the rooms where the conversation was happening, where the bigger money was being made, and where the other people were winning. Whether it was fitness competitions, network marketing, selling personal development courses, and now launching Lite Pink, it’s all because I surrounded myself with people who would push me to pursue my big dreams. I share my journey to getting into those expansive rooms and what you need to be talking about when you get yourself in front of people who are making moves.

IN THIS EPISODE, WE TALK ABOUT:
What inspired me to sign up for the Cathy Savage training camp back when I wanted to be in fitness competitions
Leaning on your support system
Having real, open conversations about income
How I got into network marketing
What made it possible for me to even think about creating a beverage company
My approach to getting a second book deal

If you could set up your work schedule and environment however you wanted, what would that look like? I feel so lucky that Lauren and I are aligned with our workflows and are able to maximize our energy, prioritize self care, and still make major progress with building Lite Pink. We discuss some things that people can do if they want to have a conversation with their boss about creating a more flexible and non-traditional routine, and also what to do if you’re an entrepreneur. It can be so easy to burn out and feel resentful when it feels like you’re working 24/7, but there are ways to find a better work-life balance that will help you reach your goals without constantly sacrificing what makes you happy.

IN THIS EPISODE, WE TALK ABOUT:
Changing your workflow with the seasons
Making sure that you’re taking care of yourself
Pitching your ideal workflow to a manager or boss

April 14, 2022871. Where To Hunt For More Energy
A lot of people say that time is the most valuable commodity, but I actually think that energy is more important. If you’ve been feeling like the days are dragging and you’re totally depleted, I have some areas of your life where you can evaluate how you’re using your energy. I talk about the difference between people who are sprinters vs. marathoners when it comes to getting work done, why I think it’s important to reminage what ‘9-to-5’ looks like for you, and how to make sure you’re working in your zone of genius. Listen in for some simple ways to replenish your energy and get back on track!

IN THIS EPISODE, WE TALK ABOUT:
Checking in with your sleep routine, food choices, and alcohol consumption
My game plan for when I’m feeling lethargic
Taking advantage of when you feel most energized and focused during the day
Checking off the value-adding tasks instead of distracting yourself with little details
Letting go of the worry and fear about other people’s opinions about you

April 13, 2022870. Out Of The Box Marketing Ideas To Get Seen And Grow An Audience
Social media ads and traditional PR can be so expensive these days that you have to think outside the box when it comes to getting your name out there, especially as a startup. Lauren and I share ten creative ways that we’re using to get people talking about Lite Pink. We discuss why we love text lists, creating opt-ins for Earn Your Happy listeners, and why I decided to write a book while simultaneously launching Lite Pink. I talk about where I see alot of early entrepreneurs get stuck and why it’s more important to just put something out there instead of constantly tinkering with it until it’s ‘perfect.’ Lauren and I also touch on how we’re working on overcoming negative self-talk and constantly comparing ourselves to other brands who seem to have it all figured out. Note to self: no one actually does!

IN THIS EPISODE, WE TALK ABOUT:

Recharging on a girls trip in Napa

Getting strategic about a podcast tour to reach adjacent audiences

Utilizing text lists for R&D

The importance of tangible in-person experiences

The crossovers and differences between my personal brand and Lite Pink

Getting into the TikTok space

Accepting that you can’t excel at everything

April 12, 2022869. Is it Hustle? Or is it Flow? Which One Is The Truth?
Chris and I have noticed this big cultural shift from the hustle and grind mindset to letting things flow and take their natural course. Which one is better? Like most things, I think it’s best to exist somewhere in the middle of the two extremes. We talk about learning how to hustle with boundaries, giving yourself at least one day a week to be present, and practicing intentional planning. There are moments and seasons when you’re going to have to give it your all, but recognize that you and your team need time to recharge afterwards. Chris and I share how we’ve found the balance of hustle and flow and our advice for avoiding burnout as an entrepreneur.

IN THIS EPISODE, WE TALK ABOUT:

Figuring out what moves the needle and what’s not worth your energy

Maintaining your morning routine during a busy season

The massive, exhausting hustle that’s behind every accomplishment

Why you need to make your decision and then release it

What we do to rest and recover after a launch
