How many times have you waited to hit publish on something because “it’s not ready yet”? Or how much time have you spent researching HOW to do something, instead of actually doing it?

You, my friend, have fallen into the “perfection” trap (no judgement: I know this trap well).

While it may seem like you’re just trying to get everything perfect, you’re actually just procrastinating! You’re using the impossible goal of perfection as an excuse to stay in your comfort zone and never share your work or ideas with anyone.

In today’s episode, we’re debunking the perfection myth and getting real about the mindset shifts involved in boldly and confidently taking action, even when you don’t feel ready.

Let’s be honest: putting your thing out into the world is SCARY! Whether you’re an artist or a coach or a small business owner, it can always be uncomfortable talking about your product or service.

You might start asking yourself “what if no one buys?”

Or “what if people thing I’m being annoying?”

Or, worst yet, “what if no one is paying attention at all and I just hear crickets every time I post?”

And these are all totally natural fears, but they’re getting in your way! Your fear of being annoying or salesy is holding you back from showing up authentically and confidently selling what you have to offer.

In today’s episode, I’m talking with Shaina Braun, founder of the Anti 9-5, about to get over all of those limiting beliefs that are holding you back from showing up, sharing your thing, and making sales!

She’s talking about how often you should post about your offer (spoiler: it’s a lot!) and how to make sure that your content is being seen by the right people at the right time. We’re also digging into finding your path as a multi-passionate person, infusing your business with brand with your own personality, and how to find confidence when you’re first starting out.

In other words, it’s a value-packed conversation and you’re not going to want to miss this one.

Ah, the digital nomad life. Work from beautiful locations all over the world and have total freedom over your schedule every day. Sounds like a dream, right?

Well, today’s guest has made that dream a reality but it took a while to get there. Emily Gillespie, a digital strategist and content creator, spent years working on her side hustle in the evenings and weekends while she worked her 9-5. She finally made the leap to full-time freelancer and today she’s sharing how she did it!

In this episode, we talk about how to:

• find work that doesn’t really feel like work
• stay motivated and inspired when you keep hearing “no”
• confidently leave stability for a life of freedom and flexibility
• find community and guidance from other digital nomads in your shoes

Content creators, influencers, and solo-travelers alike all know the struggle of trying to film content in public. “Are people judging me? Do I look super cringey?” These are common (and totally valid!) thoughts, but you can’t let fear of judgement keep you from creating the content you want.

In this episode, I’m sharing the 6 best tips for tackling the discomfort that comes with public content creation, so you can confidently step in front of the camera no matter where you are. I’m also sharing several of my own anecdotes from filming in public to remind you that you’re not alone.

Happy creating, friends!

If you’re tired of old-school financial advice that preaches restrictive spending so you can afford a house (because hey, that advice sucks and maybe you don’t even WANT to buy a house), this is the episode for you.

Mimi Cirbusova, a certified financial education instructor and shame-free money mentor, knows that money is a truly personal topic and that one-size-fits-all advice does not work here. In this conversation, Mimi shares her advice for ditching the shame that so often comes with conversations surrounding money, spending money on the things you truly love, and creating joy in your life if you’re on a savings journey.

And we’re getting super personal in this episode as Mimi gives me a little bit of a private coaching moment to help me figure out what my spending trigger is!

No to Normal just turned one! *shoots confetti*

That’s right, friends, the podcast is celebrating its one-year anniversary. And in order to celebrate this milestone, I wanted to take a little walk down memory lane and drop the very first guest episode I’ve ever done back in the feed.

My episode with Ainsley Blattel from Modern Rebel is still one of my favorite conversations to date, and I’m excited to share it with newer listeners who maybe missed it the first time around.

THANK YOU for coming along on this journey with me for the past 12-months. I’ll meet you back here next year to celebrate again ;)

What if the key to happiness, success, and personal fulfillment really came down to just putting fun, silly, and creative things out into the world? What if you embraced your crazy ideas instead of instantly thinking of all the reasons they won’t work?

In today’s episode, I’ve invited Kyle Scheele, author, keynote speaker, and the “Patron Saint of Crazy Ideas” to answer those questions!

Kyle shares how he became a keynote speaker after seeing a FB ad, how he landed a clothing deal with Urban Outfitters right out of high school, and how an idea for his 30th birthday led him to write the book, How to Host a Viking Funeral: The Case for Burning Your Regrets, Chasing Your Crazy Ideas, and Becoming the Person You're Meant to Be.

This episode is for anyone ready to stop thinking about their ideas and start sharing them with the world.

And if you feel like you don’t have any crazy ideas worth pursuing? Well, this episode will prove you wrong.

If you’re interested in the personal development space like me, you’ve likely heard about the power of positive affirmations. Maybe you’ve even tried them out yourself, journaling or saying them when you first wake up.

“I am confidence. I am capable. I am abundant. I am successful.”

And while there is evidence to support that affirmations can be a healthy addition to your daily routine and effective in helping you develop a growth mindset, it’s not as simple as writing out these 3-word sentences.

In today’s episode, I talk with Dr. Marlynn Wei, MD about the science of affirmations, how to get the most out of the practice, and why affirmations have potentially not worked for you in the past.
