Welcome back to On The Grow, I'm Grace Lee.

This is the ninetieth episode into the binge-able Falling in Love Series.

"That’s one of the cool things about running a marathon. Because no matter how fast you finish — no matter if you’re running the whole time — if you finish, you have that forever, knowing what you’re capable of. I’m capable of doing this — I’m a marathoner, no matter how fast it is.”

In Episode 90 on On The Grow, I have one of my best friends Tatum, join me to talk about what the process is like training for a marathon (from applying to training to the finish line), how to apply for Chicago and NYC Marathon, tips for someone wanting to run a marathon, and more. This is a really insightful episode for someone running the NYC Marathon this weekend, or someone who plans to run it in the future.

Welcome back to On The Grow, I'm Grace Lee.

This is the eighty-ninth episode into the binge-able Falling in Love Series.

"There’s a lot of things that interest me about New York City, but there is one particular thing that interests me more than the others — and that is how New York City can be seen as a paradox. It’s both empty and fulfilling. It can end dreams, just as quickly as it can start them. Living here is both simple and complicated. It makes us feel happier, and more connected than any other city in the world. But at the same time, it can also be the catalyst that pushes us into a hole of depth and despair that is almost indescribable when we feel disconnected from it. So what is it about this place that leaves us hungry for more?"

In Episode 89 on On The Grow, I talk about that moment when I truly fell in love with New York City -- how that love didn’t happen instantly, the process of falling in love with where you currently are, and how a city like New York can change you.

This is the eighty-eighth episode into the binge-able Conflict Resolution Series.

“A lot of people in relationships are dishonest with themselves. They think they want something and maybe they do, maybe they do like that partner, but deep inside, they’re not being honest with themselves. They actually just like the comfort. They’re comfortable with where they’re at, they’re fearful of the uncertainty of not having another person. I feel that dependency is a huge reason why conflicts start is because people don’t want to opt out of something they are comfortable in.”

In Episode 88 on On The Grow, my boyfriend Bobby joins me to talk about how we met, our first “date” (which was actually virtual), our first conflict and dissecting the real issue in both perspectives, our mindset on conflicts within relationships, and more.

Welcome back to On The Grow, I'm Grace Lee.

This is the eighty-seventh episode into the binge-able Conflict Resolution Series.

"And you know what they don’t tell us about friendships in our adulthood? It’s that it’s not a falling out more than it is just the natural progression of things. Time moves on, so do we. As adults, our friendships are slightly more strategic, created based on deeper things we have in common and rejected by what we do not. I guess you can say we’re pickier and it’s the commonality and shared interests that bring us together, whether we realize it or not. We realize that our friendships form seeking company we enjoy that challenges us and encourages us to be the best we can be."

In Episode 87 on On The Grow, I talk about the causes behind conflicts in our friendships, things I’ve learned about friendships in my late 20s, how to cope with friendship breakups, and more.

Welcome back to On The Grow, I'm Grace Lee.

This is the eighty-sixth episode into the binge-able Conflict Resolution Series.

"Maybe we avoid conflict because we fear the confrontation. We fear how the other person may respond. Or where the situation could go. Maybe we fear conflict because it’s uncomfortable. We can’t control how the ending to the situation may go and it’s a scary thought. But it’s the conflict itself that teaches us to get better at handling these situations — how to respond rather than react."

In Episode 86 on On The Grow, I talk about the causes behind conflicts in professional settings, the fear of conflict, what happens when emotions drive decisions, and more.

Welcome back to On The Grow, I'm Grace Lee.

This is the eighty-fifth episode into the binge-able Deep Dive Into the Life of a Social Media Entrepreneur Series.

"The thing about these sorts of things is that when you love something, it shows. You don’t have to explain it, you don’t have to shout it on the rooftops… it SHOWS. It shows in your content, it shows on your face, it shows in your personality… and that’s exactly what happened. My love for creating and storytelling in a digital space taught me so much about what social media really was. The desire to share anything, really. The desire to connect with others digitally. The desire to be entertained. The desire to be limitless in creativity."

In Episode 85 on On The Grow, I share the moment when the idea of working in the social media space crossed my mind, a fun fact of how I even started my online presence, tips on pursuing a career path in social media, and I end the podcast answering the submitted Q&As that people were interested in learning more about the social media space.

This is the eighty-fourth episode into the binge-able Deep Dive Into the Life of a Social Media Entrepreneur Series.

"Client shoot days are the performance in my book. It’s the grand show where you’re on stage presenting your talent to not just the client, but to the world. You’re dressed your best, you're fueled properly — mentally and physically. You’re focused and ready to execute what you learned in dress rehearsal. And that’s when the fun part begins."

In Episode 84 on On The Grow, I share what goes on behind a day planning, traveling, and shooting content for clients — there’s more to what’s perceived on social media, so I wanted to share more of what goes behind the scenes on days like these. I talk about the analogies of how content shooting days are like a performance, tips of what I’ve learned on work trips, an important mantra I live by, and more.

Welcome back to On The Grow, I'm Grace Lee.

This is the eighty-third episode into the binge-able Deep Dive Into the Life of a Social Media Entrepreneur Series.

"I used to be the type of girl who would want to know how other entrepreneurs did it all. How they managed to go about their entire day and get everything done. How were they maximizing their day? Their time? Was the answer waking up earlier? Was the answer coffee? … half-kidding. What fueled them to always be go-go-go and never miss a beat? After two years of diving right into my own social media business, it turns out, the answer is quite simple."

In Episode 83 on On The Grow, I talk about my day-to-day tasks as a social media strategist. I share how my day is broken down, what my workload consists of, what I’m doing for my clients, and my work-balance lifestyle.

This is the eighty-second episode into the binge-able Deep Dive Into the Life of a Social Media Entrepreneur Series.

"The most difficult part of hiring wasn’t adding someone to my team, but more so giving up that control of doing everything. What prevented me several times from even sending out that hiring post was the fear of letting someone else in and do the work that you’ve grown so comfortable doing yourself."

In Episode 82 on On The Grow, I talk about how social media affects our mental health from a marketer’s standpoint, how to deal with constantly being ONLINE as a creator and an entrepreneur, where I’ve seen growth from a professional perspective, and more.

This is the eighty-first episode into the binge-able Deep Dive Into the Life of a Social Media Entrepreneur Series.

"I’ve always been that person who never thought burnout would happen to me. ‘I love what I do — there’s no way I’d ever get burnt out from it,’ I had myself convinced. But little did I realize that even if you love what you do, it’s not always the work that burns you out. Sometimes it’s the combination of work and life events that becomes a recipe for burnout."

In Episode 81 on On The Grow, I talk about why social media marketers find themselves so easily burnt out, the energy leaks that may be causing our burnout, how to break free from burnout, and more.
