It's Okay to Not be Okay by Ali Kates

What happens when two friends turn a casual chat over sangria and tacos into a thriving platform for women? Join us as we explore the inspiring journey of Chauncey and Heather, the co-founders of So She Slays. Their mission? To amplify the voices of women entrepreneurs in fields like fashion, health, and wellness, all while tackling topics like mental health and the complexities of adulting. In this episode, we celebrate the growth of their community and discuss the leap into podcasting, where they shine a spotlight on the remarkable stories of women entrepreneurs.

Grit and determination are often shaped by the most unexpected factors, like supportive family dynamics or even astrology. We chat about the importance of setting boundaries to avoid burnout, especially when managing a full-time career alongside multiple ventures. Discover how distinguishing between urgency and emergency can help shift from non-stop hustle to a more mindful approach, emphasizing mental health and team accountability.

But it's not all smooth sailing—imposter syndrome and social media burnout are real hurdles. In this episode, we discuss how therapy can be an invaluable tool in managing these challenges, offering strategies for self-improvement and celebrating achievements. We also embrace vulnerability and self-care, recounting pinch-me moments like interactions with celebrities and features on prominent platforms. With a heartfelt nod to the support of friends and family, we reflect on So She Slays' evolution and expansion across social media, inviting listeners to join this empowering community and share their own stories.

Stuck in a cycle of overspending? Paige Pritchard, our guest and a seasoned spending coach, shares her personal story of financial mismanagement and transformation. After graduating college, Paige found herself caught in a whirlwind of compulsive shopping, spending her salary in search of solace. She opens up about the emotional triggers that fueled her spending habits and offers practical strategies for anyone looking to build healthier financial behaviors.

Ever wondered how your money mindset could be holding you back? Paige and I unpack the deep connection between financial habits and self-worth, particularly during life transitions like moving from college to the workforce. We discuss the scarcity mindset, its manifestation as overspending or hoarding, and why sudden changes in financial circumstances can lead to anxiety-filled decisions. By reflecting on stories of athletes and lottery winners, we highlight how even substantial earnings can bring instability without the right mindset.

Building a sustainable business from personal struggles is no small feat, and Paige shares her journey from financial chaos to creating a thriving community dedicated to overcoming overspending. We explore her Instagram growth, the impact of social media on mental health, and the strategies she employs to handle criticism while nurturing growth. Through her candid insights, we aim to empower listeners with the tools to manage their finances and navigate the complexities of maintaining a business presence in the digital age.
