 In 2021, hats off to a third-generation family business that has existed since 1978. Today with a global pandemic, we have seen many businesses with longevity closed. What makes this family business firm and anchored during a time when the perfect storm continues to pummel businesses?

Could it be Jennifer who is always budding with new ideas? She decided to create a podcast of her own. The Vendor's Daughter was built to create a community of entrepreneurs who are proof that building a business is hard but can be done. Through her podcast, she showcases successful businesses and leading healthy, happy lives outside of businesses. Is the secret sauce to the longevity of her family business?  

Welcome... join us on this episode as we have a fun and casual conversation about painting a business for the long haul.

Have we become so hard-pressed for validation that we have to show all the narratives of our lives on social media? Sit with me as I talk about this subject this is a reflective conversation. Bring your journal along and pen your thoughts. See you inside... don't forget your warm drink.

In today's podcast, we write in our journals and discuss using Clubhouse to build a community. May I have 15 minutes of your time, please?

Please note in the episode, I mentioned Moderating Journaling Prompt/Free Writing Room on Clubhouse on Tuesday - Thursday. It is actually Tuesday - Friday. 

Have you ever imagined what your life would look like if it was calm and free from chaos? In this episode, I believe that you will find this conversation helpful when you feel like life is starting to head you into overdrive.  

Today, I sit down with Deborah Rankin, a writer, health coach, and registered dietitian nutritionist who often help other people improve their self-care. After frenetic years as a sales executive for four Fortune 500 companies, she faced a series of personal losses with no reserves of physical or emotional health. Burned out, sick, and grieving, she hit rock bottom and stayed there for two years. Gradually, she crawled her way back to vitality using the small steps and rituals she now shares with her readers. Her new book De-Stress Your Life: Turn Chaos into Calm is a guidebook to living life with calm and joyful energy.

Deborah has a formula that she uses to reduce stress and increase energy (E+M+C2). What does that mean? 

1. Eat nourishing food, 

2. Move your body,  

3. Connect yourself to others.

It is Deborah's mission to help hard-working small business owners, entrepreneurs, and creatives to make small sustainable changes that start at where they are currently. So, come on, hang out for a bit. I'll meet you inside.  

GIVEAWAY: Please leave us a review on this post for a chance to win a copy of Deborah's book "De-Stress Your Life: Turn Chaos Into Calm". The Winner will be selected on March 1st, 2021.

Hey there! You know that I am all about journaling.. You can cut me, blood will not drip out, but blue ink from a Bic Velocity Pen.  So you know this woman is serious about her pen and paper.  I digress... 

This little chat here today is just a short reminder of why I want to encourage you to pick up the habit of journaling. If you are already doing it, standing ovation for you. Then this conversation is just a quick head nod and a high five to keep going. If you are thinking about it, please pull up a chair for 10 minutes or so and have a listen. This is a historical time period that we are living in. Record! Record! Record! Tell your story on paper bound into a journal. This episode will give you a very concrete foundation on the benefits of journaling.  

I would love to know where you are in your journaling expedition. Please leave us a review.   

I am always rooting for you, to live authentically, be the best person you want to be, and seek truth through the power of the pen. One love...

Running a business, taking care of a household, dealing with a pandemic, and the list can go on and on.  Then to add to the daily list of emotions, as women, we often deal with hormone imbalances.  PMS symptoms can add to mood swings, excess stress, food cravings, weight gain, bloating, acne, insomnia, just enough to spiral any week out of control. 

Join in on this conversation as Audrey Gerber, a Certified Integrative Nutrition Health Coach speaks on how the brain cycles, finding the optimal time to release new ideas and when to fall back and begin increasing self-care.

At the end of the podcast be sure to leave us a review.   

Have you ever wondered what makes creative people so creative?  Are they different from other people who claim to be non-creative?  Is it possible to become a creative person?  

Creativity can challenge you, add energy to your life, and allow you to reach your full potential.  The "clutch your pearls", the news is that your own innate creativity can be molded and developed if you choose to be malleable. In this episode join me as I speak about a few character traits of creative people.   

Do you really believe that there are good things right around the corner for you?  Or do you think that opportunities are just chilling, all around you, just waiting for you to say "let's go and make things happen?"  

I would love for you to grab your journal or open up a new page in Notion and take notes. I want to introduce you to Mae Badiyan, a woman who loves planners, organization, business, social media, wellness, and mindset. 

In this conversation, Mae speaks about operating from a place of lack, how you can make your money work for you, and letting things go so you can receive more.  Take the time to tune in and soak in this conversation.

For the last few years, I have been following and gobbling up all the gems that Tara Swiger teaches her audience.  She works with makers and artists to create sustainable and lovable businesses.  I would like to add with a homegrown feel, that it was what I connected with.  If you like sitting on the porch with a sweet tea type of style conversation then you have arrived.  

Tara delivers her content through her books, a weekly podcast (which has some slight changes), and online classes.

So, prop up your feet as you spark your Liberate and Lather candle and have a listen.  In this episode, we will discuss how parenting four children, running a thriving business, setting goals, and finding time for self-care keeps Tara afloat.
