Effortless Success All-Access Audio Pass

What kind of attitude do you have about Instagram? Are you feeling personally attacked by the algorithm? Feeling like it’s impossible to compete in the increasingly busy feed?

I’m chatting with Instagram Expert Tania Lang all about how to approach Instagram so you can be successful, and she’s sharing how she grew her account from 400 followers to well over 14,000 in one year- without all the scammy strategies, risky hacks, and Instagram overwhelm. Grab a coffee and get ready for an uncensored conversation about what it really takes to market your business on Instagram- AND what might not actually be worth your time.

We’ve all felt it- that nagging feeling that our work isn’t good enough, those overwhelming sensations of self-doubt. Most people are familiar with the concept of imposter syndrome, and these days that’s the go-to label when we share any uncertainty about our success. But is it always imposter syndrome? I don’t actually think so- and today on the podcast I’m breaking down why I think that way, how to know if you’re self-sabotaging or simply self-assessing, and why it’s really good news either way.

How can we build our businesses in a way that genuinely contributes to social change? What’s the difference between being a conscientious Ally and a condescending jerk? What do you do if the thought of airing an opinion on social media makes you want to dig a hole in the ground and hide in it? On today’s episode of The Self-Made Mamas Podcast, Alison Tedford is joining us for an uncensored conversation tackling exactly those questions. As a social justice educator, an indigenous woman,  a published author, a relentless entrepreneur - oh, AND a single mom battling chronic illness, Alison knows a thing or two about inclusive marketing and socially conscious business. I am so grateful to call her a friend and peer in this online space, and even more grateful that she is here today to share her perspective and advice so we can all build better, more equitable brands and Stay Woke, Not Broke.

You can find Alison at www.alisontedford.com, on Twitter, or on Instagram. Her first book, Chronic Profit, is available where books are sold on April 6th, 2021.

Are you a procrastinator? How many ideas have you come up with and never executed on? How many times have you let something that you were so excited about sit on the back burner in your business because you just couldn’t seem to take the first step? How often do you leave tasks you KNOW you need to finish undone for way longer than necessary because they feel so overwhelming to complete? If you’re feeling a little attacked right now- don’t worry! That’s exactly what we’re tackling today on Episode 1 of the Self-Made Mamas podcast.

So today I want to share our THREE CORE VALUES with you- the values that I live by and also aim to run my business in alignment with. 

Have you ever wondered how the heck you’re supposed to run a business while managing motherhood? Have you ever muted a client call to whisper-yell, “BE.
