  • Gratitude
    It’s Thanksgiving, and though things look a bit different this year, we still have so much to be grateful for!
    Practicing gratitude isn’t just important each year in November, it is something that will benefit us year-round, and most successful and happy people have a strong gratitude game!
    When we think about the idea of being grateful, we have our go tos (family, partner, children), but we often don’t think of extending gratitude to ourselves as women and mamas. The idea of honoring ourselves is something that can be so powerful! In this episode, the Boss Ladies are joined by the founder of the Mornings for Mamas Movement and The Mornings for Mamas Podcast, Alison Ryan. Alison talks with us about honoring ourselves as mamas, the benefits of a morning practice, how and when to put our needs first, and so much more! Alison shares some vulnerable and powerful moments of her life that have brought her to where she is today and we are here for it! Take some time this Thanksgiving to recognize and show gratitude for yourself, because you are doing an amazing job...and you deserve it!

  • BLAB How to Build Your Audience
    You have determined that the world needs what you have to offer, but how the heck do you get it in front of them?!? You need an audience! But how?!?! Growing your audience online seems like a simple task, but it can be harder than you may anticipate. Here is what we have learned as we have continued to (slowly) grow our platform 🙌
    🤩Get your mindset right
    Slow and steady always wins- Chances are you won’t go from 100-10,000 overnight, and that is ok!
    What are you offering? Is your message clear? Do you believe in it? 🤩Make sure you are owning your product or services before you start trying to sell it to others.
    🤩Don’t rely on your friends/family- Ouch! But take this wake up call from us now so that it stings a little less when you come to realize this on your own. Yes, our friends and family support the heck out of us, but in the heavily saturated social media land, they are feeling just as overload as the rest of us.
    🤩Quality over quantity- Numbers don’t matter! Don’t build your audience with fake people!
    🤩Put yourself out there- They won’t see you if you don’t get in front of them!
    🤩Stay authentic- Ah, authenticity… the thing we all say we want to see online, but still aren’t getting! I’m the first to say I love a curated page, but being vulnerable and showing your audience who you are is a guaranteed way to connect.
    🤩Make it easy- Don’t leave your audience guessing how to do the things you want from them.
    🤩Listen- Yes, this is your thang… but you’re not the one buying it! Give your audience a voice and LISTEN to what they are telling you.
    🤩Stay grateful- Your audience is CHOOSING you and that says a lot! They could be hanging out anywhere else online, but they are here supporting what you have to offer.

  • Mashed-up Families

    With Thanksgiving right around the corner, we wanted to take some time to discuss families. We talk about our families a lot- our spouses, our kids, sometimes our parents or in-laws. But we also recognize that families don’t all look the same. Not everyone has a Mom, a Dad, siblings, Grandparents, etc. Family structures and dynamics can be messy, mashed-up and complicated to say the least. Those are the families we discuss in this episode. Our guest - Seth Molano- shares with us his emotional journey from growing up in foster care and getting adopted, to finding his bio Dad and siblings. It's a wild ride, and Seth shares it all. His wife Felicia weighs in on Seth's resiliency and commends his role as Super-Dad. Mikki shares her two stories of finding long lost siblings on social media, and we discuss how our upbringings and relationships with our families have shaped us as parents. It's a deep, thoughtful conversation, so grab your tissues and join us.

  • United States of Anxiety

    It's a huge week for Americans as we are in the middle of a heated Presidential election.

    It's a very stressful, emotional time for everyone, so we didn't feel comfortable releasing our scheduled episode. We send some love to our fellow Boss Ladies, and remind everyone to take care of themselves and each other.

  • BLAB Why You Need a Website
    Sure, social media is great (and rules when we think about online marketing), but a good old website is not dead! As you are growing your brand it is crucial to get yourself in front of as many eyes as you can 👀
    We are by no means website designers, but Megan has recently built two websites from scratch on GoDaddy.com and Wix.com and it has been a piece of cake! Literally, the most un techy person here… trust us, you can do it too! And if you still don't think the designing is your jam, there are plenty of amazing website designers that can hook you up! Here are some of the reasons we think you NEED a website for your business, too!
    💻 Own YOUR name and YOUR brand
    💻 Networking made easy
    💻 Blogging for connection
    💻 Build your email list easier
    💻 Let your audience know what you want them to do
    💻 Learn who is watching to create better FB ads
    💻 It’s fun! Whether you decide to DIY or hire a professional to help you design your site, it is a fun and rewarding step to take in your business.

  • Ghosting
    Time to get spooooooky 😱 In this episode we are talking about ghosts, but not the kind you may think! We are talking about friendship and relationship ghosting, and the spookiest ghosts of all, that just disappear from our lives 👻💔
    Bidi, a badass wife, derby player, and non-profit boss lady joins us to share her spooky story of how she was ghosted by her fiancé! Her story will make your hair raise, and maybe even trigger a loud WTF⁉️ The Boss Ladies commiserate with Biddi about how awful ghosting can be. Megan shares her worst ghosting story that still haunts her, and Mikki admits to a time she has, rightfully, been the ghost 🙌
    Ghosting is an awful act, but we have all been on one (if not both) ends of it! Share your ghosting stories in the comments and let’s keep it spooky!

  • BLAB Imposter Syndrome
    Imposter syndrome can be a holdback for many of us in life and business. Have you ever had any of these feelings:
    Why would people listen to ME?
    I don’t know what I’m talking about. There are better people out there that they could be working with.
    I’m a fraud.
    No one cares what I have to say.
    I’m not important.
    I’m not good enough.
    I have no idea what I’m actually doing.
    I’m too new, or too young, or too old.
    It’s already been done, by someone smarter/better/cooler than me
    You may be battling imposter syndrome if you’re suffering from:
    Feelings of being insecure
    Having anxiety
    Not feeling good enough
    Fear of judgment
    Doubting yourself
    Lack of confidence
    So, how do you get this feeling of being an imposter out of your life? We break it down and share our tips for kicking out the imposter in this episode!
