Everyone has them, but that doesn’t mean they’re ANY fun to deal with… 

Today we’re talking about getting out of funks. Whether you’re exhausted and at the end of your rope, moody and hormonal, frustrated about a certain situation, or you don’t know WHAT might be making you feel some type of way, we get it and have BEEN there, too, sister. Both of us have had our fair share of funky times, so we’re shedding some light on what we do when we feel a little more than blue. 

Spoiler: Sometimes the best thing is simply noticing, acknowledging, and talking about it… and then treating yourself to some ice cream or a Housewives binge. #truth. 

Tune in for more ways to work your way out of your next funk! PS, is “funk” sounding like THE weirdest word ever to anyone else at the end of this episode?! Because, samesies. (Note: This episode is not mental health advice; if you are experiencing signs of depression, anxiety, or another mental health issue, please see your doctor.)

Allow us to introduce one of the only people who talks about “living a more intentional life” and DOESN’T make us roll our eyes: Kate Eskuri! Kate is a registered nurse with a doctorate degree in integrative and holistic health, and she’s also the creator of The Foundation Blog, a space dedicated to simplifying healthy living backed by science and research (with a modern twist). 

We talked with her about how she *realistically* incorporates mindfulness, wellness, and self-care into her (busy) life, how she’s getting ready for the changes that come with motherhood, plus you KNOW we had to ask for her loving/learning/it’s a no for the week! This convo was so much fun, and Kate is so dang relatable and funny… we can’t wait for you to listen!

(Plus, you know we can't go on a zillion tangents — so you'll get insights into Susannah's new fave show about Mormons and murder, and Aud talks about the annoying moral superiority of people who ~don't use IG filters~)

We’ve learned a LOT in the last few years as entrepreneurs running our own copywriting businesses — about ourselves, overcoming fears, preferred working styles, closing certain doors, and so much more. Today we’re sharing many of our BIGGEST lessons as entrepreneurs (and some things we’re continuing to re-learn again and again… like our #authorityissues of course). 

Plus, we’re sharing a life realization that Audrey came to thanks to grass (like, the kind in your yard), Susannah’s varied taste in men, travel mishaps, and the magic of foot spas. As usual, we’re all over the place 😂 and wouldn’t have it any other way.

We’re back and talking about a JUICY topic today: new client red flags. 🚩 

We’re speaking from a *lottttt* of personal experience here — these are serious no-nos to watch out for if you’re in the service provider or creative world. Things like… someone saying “this shouldn’t take you long,” not being receptive of your professional opinion, treating contractors like employees, and unfortunately, soooo many more. If you’ve ever felt like, “Hmm, that interaction didn’t feel right,” with a potential client, it’s probably because of one of these red flags. Keep these in mind next time you have a connection call and if the red flags are a-wavin’, don’t be afraid to say BYE. (We share how to do so gracefully in the ep, too.) 

Plus, we’re talking about low self-confidence weeks, a show Audrey is on a one-woman marketing mission to promote, and the audacity of one Dallas restaurant. Tune in and don’t forget to rate, review & subscribe to get new episodes downloaded straight to your phone every Wednesday!

Let’s talk about Q1 – umm, we were *sorta* exhausted (read: entirely depleted) after it ended, tbh. 

In today’s episode, we go deep into recapping what the first quarter of 2022 looked like for each of us, both in our copywriting businesses & our personal lives — plus the lessons we learned through Q1 and what we want to do differently throughout the rest of the year. (Spoiler: we both feel like our business structures could use a little tune-up, AND we talk about what it’s like to separate client relationships from friendships when our clients actually do… feel like… friends?) 

Plus, we dig into why it’s so freaking hard to let go of our expectations about others, the personal growth books that we think suck, and share Susannah’s recent laundry obsession (lol). Listen now!

Well, hi! Welcome to Everything is Copy. We can't wait to have you along for the ride, and are so honored that you're here.
