Happy mf'ing Thursday Gen Nows! This week we're getting out of that negative rut, or preparing for the next time we're in one (because, yes, it's normal and expected to get in those moods from time to time). I dish some of the ways I like to change my mindset to focus on the good and see opportunities - this includes how to visualize your goals, recognizing and accepting that ups comes with downs and vice versa and the Universal Energy Bank (courtesy of Becca Tobin from The Lady Gang).

Gen Nows, get your notebooks/iPads ready! This week I sit down with Laurie Anne Nilo - who runs the Post College Journey blog and aims to help recent college grads land their first job. She specializes in comms/marketing - but as we discuss in the episode, you kind of have to adapt the marketing perspective no matter what type of job you're applying to. We talk about how to make your resume stand out in a sea of entry-level applicants, how to rock an interview and why you should always job hunt with a purpose.

Happy Thursday Gen Nows! This week I want to break out of the curated social media mold and let you know what's really been going on. Some sh*t has gone down this past week - from car troubles to realizing maybe my mind doesn't work like other people's. I always try to find a silver lining and pass that along to you, which I think I managed to do pretty well in this week's episode! I also did a mini Q&A at the end, so stick around to learn about why I started the podcast, what books I'm currently reading and my tips for setting personal boundaries.

Y'all - how did this even happen?! This week I sat down with Bailey Stanworth, founder of the digital marketing agency PLAY Digital and 1/2 of the What Day Is It? Podcast (aka one of my favourite podcasts). We chatted all things digital - including Bailey's thoughts on "saturation" in the social media space - as well as why she and her co-host Jacci started What Day Is It? We also talked about her journey with starting PLAY, how she maintains a work-life balance and where she's excited to travel (once we're able to safely do so of course).

Y'all! This was such a fun episode to record and Emma gives some amazing insight into creating her own brand and keeps it very real when talking about how she is mostly self-taught when it comes to graphic design. As I mention in the episode I've been following Emma and her brand - ESM Creative Studio - for a while now, and I'm such a fan of her designs. Emma also talks about the support network she's creating - Golden Hour Guild - for entrepreneurs to help connect with one another and get their questions answered.
