  • EP 7: Communicate or Cancel
    Yes I know you've heard it before, NO this is not a therapy session so please don't run away.  (and for all my therapy friends, cool down...I am not saying anything is wrong with therapy) --- see I communicated before you had a nervous breakdown.  #namaste

  • EP 5: People Need Return Labels
    Voice Platforms, Quick Judgement all for that quick Ha, Ha.
    After the much buzzworthy and viral laughter at Prince William's son to partake in ballet, someone was in some hot water by not just everyday ballet dancers, but Broadway also set the viral waves on fire!  I of course left out said name because that's not what I am here for.  Plus, I'm pretty sure her name has been dragged through enough mud.  I simply take these situations and bring to life that they actually happen EVERYDAY!
    So after a quick little chat with my girl Cathy from ScrambledEggs.blog, I put together a concept from this hot topic and her stories of her little one and said to her, "Ya know what, people need return labels."  With that, my podcast topic was set, and yea sorry folks, I pushed back my Finances 101 until next week.  I know I know I know, it's coming next week I promise!
    So tune in, give a listen, subscribe if you love it, share if you love me even more and remember how one little word has the power of many.

  • EP 12: Social Media + The Price Of Being Scandalous

    Whether you're growing a business or just on social media for fun, everything has a price.

    Buying followers in hopes to gain approval of others, more likes equals more friends, or because you want that darn swipe up courtesy of 10K followers can be a good thing in the beginning but may not be what you bargained for in the end.

    Tune in and join me as we walk the plank of social media oops moments and how without education, research and patience, buying all those "followers" may only be wasteful.
