Ideas With Intention

In this episode I'm sharing how learning to play to my strengths has seriously saved my sanity on more than one occasion in the past year, especially during times where I found myself being triggered by comparison or doubting my direction or decisions. If you are catching yourself trying to do all the things or constantly switching gears and it's making you feel completely confused, today's episode is for you!

In this episode, I have the pleasure of interviewing my good friend Joanna Waterfall, the founder of Yellow Co. This conversation is so inspiring, I cannot wait for you to listen. Together we chat about the evolution of the Yellow Co brand, the incredible intention that's always been built in behind it, what it means to take ownership of who you are + use your gifts and creativity to do good in the world, as well as how to rally together a tribe of people who want to share in and support your ideas.

In this episode, I'm sharing the power of using your process rather than just your products or services as a way to differentiate yourself or your business in your industry and how you can use the design thinking model as a tool to help you get creative with your approach.

In this episode, I'm sitting down with Angela Mastrogiacomo to lift the veil on the mysterious world of public relations. We talk about removing the barrier to entry for entrepreneurs (that's you!) who want to gain exposure for their brands + businesses. Together we chat about the steps to getting started, how to pitch with purpose (and personalization!) + setting expectations that keep your confidence in tact.  

In today's episode, Shannan dives into a commonality that business owners experience — feeling right smack dab in the middle of those turbulent waters that demand stamina alongside constant surrender — if you've ever felt conflicted as to where to direct your energy — to hustle or to simply allow, Shannan gives it to you straight today and shares how you can begin to approach both and balance them in the right way.

Today on the show, Katie Buemann, the host of the Real Rebel Podcast drops some major truth bombs about living in alignment + doing the hard work that's required to be the person you truly were created to be, unapologetically. We talk about unpacking old and untruthful stories, our opinion on the self-help industry, and how to pull out your inner rebel + be willing to follow the path you feel called to follow… even when others think you're crazy.

In today's episode, I have the pleasure of sitting down with Rebecca Jacobs, a personal style coach,, to talk all about how to be more intentional with your style, plus why you would even want to as a business owner + how doing so can enhance your personal brand in ways you might have not even imagined. This isn't just a conversation about clothes, it's about gaining confidence and clarity in who you are!
