Picture this… it’s been a tough couple weeks, you and your bestie have been opening up to each other more recently and are now into sending voice notes over texting. *DING*, you look at your phone and it reads “New Notification: Voice note from Madison Reid”. This week’s episode is all about procrastination. We all do it, we all know we do it but why do we continue to push off those tasks that then pile up and bring more stress into our lives?! Madison gets personal, breaking down her assumptions as to why people procrastinate and how she’s working on fixing that for herself. Relate to Madison’s stories and examples and challenge yourself to think about why you procrastinate. This episode is supposed to feel like she’s sitting in your passenger seat or cooking with you in your kitchen. Enjoy!

This episode is something that is very different than what we typically talk about here on the Girls Building Empires Podcast. One thing to highlight is to keep an open mind. It’s time to change the narratives on certain topics and become more of an open book. Today Madison brings on Erica Stolman Dowdy, who is founder and creator of Fashion Lush the blog and Fashion Kush the brand. Erica’s brand’s motto is “for the successful & productive stoner”… In this episode Erica discusses how she got started with her blog that has now allowed her to create a community who is equally obsessed with aesthetics as she is! Madison and Erica talk about the importance of branding and aesthetics, the benefits of cannabis for creatives, and Erica’s take on normalizing weed and what it really means to be a productive stoner.
