When you post your life and your business on the internet, somebody out there always has some shit to say. Let them. We all know trolls come with the territory, but that doesn’t make it hurt any less, and feeding the trolls only makes it worse. So just keep showing up, just keep doing the thing as authentically as you can, and the people who are for you will see you, and your work will speak for itself.

Let’s chat.

It’s the beginning of the business year and as people get started on their business journeys, I get hit with a lot of “What do I do? What the hell should I use?!” questions. Not to worry, I gotchu. I've dedicated countless hours to sift through the top-notch platforms and software, comparing and contrasting to find what truly works the best for online biz so you don’t have to. And hey, you don't need to have all of this before you can “start.” Just get going, and when you're gearing up for the next phase, circle back to this episode for the lowdown.

Second episode of the year means we’re switching it up, Thursday Throwback style. I stay preaching that once is never, so I wanted to re-share some episodes every Thursday that you might might like to hear again.

We’ve all got New Years goals and resolutions we’re working towards, myself included, but if you’re inconsistent or you make it too hard on yourself, or worse—they’re goals you’ve borrowed from someone else—they ain’t happening. If you want to actually achieve your goals, you know what to do.

New year, same Maestro. I never left, but I’m back in the new year with an episode on the sometimes-narcissistic nature of social media. Is your content too self-centered? Absolutely not. Need me to elaborate? Y’all already know what to do.

It is time, once again, for the yearly Meredith Root and Alex Parker recap episode, and if you don’t know who they are, do you even listen to this podcast? I look forward to this conversation every year because Alex and Meredith are 2 people I love and admire, and who are living their best lives. As a couple (and as a brand!) their perspectives are refreshing as hell to see and hear, and y’all already know this episode is both funny and insightful as hell. If there’s anything I want you to take from this episode, and from Meredith and Alex in general, is that you always have a say in building the life you want. You don’t have to be a victim to the whims of life and you’re allowed to have strong opinions and boundaries if it means you truly love your life. We always, always have a say.

Merry Christmas to all who celebrate, and Merry Monday to those who don’t! We made it to the last solo-pod of 2023, so I wanted to talk about the predictions & suggestions. I have for the online business space in the upcoming year. I do believe that we tend to see the exact things we’re looking for (confirmation bias, anyone?) so, it drives me crazy when I see people sharing the “only” way to run a business—usually it just isn’t relevant to that specific person. In any case, here’s what I think we’ll see in 2024.

Are you cut out for this whole entrepreneurship thing? Look, the only way you’ll know for sure is if you go out there, do the thing, and find out for yourself, but I won’t pretend like there aren’t some common traits I see in people who stay in the game long enough to win. Whether or not you’re cut out for entrepreneurship, I can’t say, but that certainty you’re looking for is on the other side of action.

We’re 2 weeks away from 2024, and it’s not by accident that I left my planning for the New Year so late. I’m a creature of habit and most of what I did this year, I’ll do next year too. I run my business to maintain the lifestyle I love living, and if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it, right? Look, you don’t have to plan your year the same way I do, but if you wanted to know, now you know.

When we talk about finding work-life balance, try to think of it as a verb (“balancing”) rather than a noun (“balance”). Think of someone doing a handstand—balance isn’t something achieved once and then forgotten about, it takes tons of tiny adjustments and re-adjustments just to stay in one place. The same is true in life. You don’t “achieve” work-life balance, you have to be working at it, always.
