Today’s episode is for the working woman who has to navigate work, life, career, and a side hustle too… so ALL the things!

Abby Zufelt is a digital marketing expert, speaker and the founder and host of Working Girl Talk, a podcast and community for working women.

In this episode, we chat about:

• How to balance a side hustle and a FT job, and use one to sharpen your skills at the other… and vice versa (hint: it starts with really good boundaries!)

• What to do if you are re-evaluating your job and your career path… and how to know if you are experiencing normal burnout & job fatigue or full-blown soul-sucking work that you have to transition out of.

• How to battle WFH fatigue and find connection points with your colleagues (sending bachelor memes over slack anyone?!), even while working virtually.

• The importance of a perseverance mindset (what every successful person has in common… and how you can start using it in your daily life too!).

Today we are diving into some favorite networking tips to make those connections you want and need to move your career forward… yes, even in quarantine and the digital age of 2021.

My friend, Michelle Miller joins the show today. She is an Actress in TV, Film, and Commercials, as well as a Communications Coach, specializing in Public Speaking and how to achieve On Camera Presence.

• How to satisfy your creative hunger and enjoy the journey, while creating the future you want… even in an industry where you often can’t control the outcomes

• Why you are the only person who can dictate your own path, and how you can show up with confidence because you have something important to offer.

The world of podcasting has been exploding, and you might be secretly wondering how others get booked as guests on podcasts, and how you can too. First, why would you want to get on podcasts?

• Guesting on podcasts can bring you increased visibility, and help sell your products or services.

• It can build your thought leadership status, and create searchable links for content under your name or company.

• Your value and expertise can be shared with a wider audience, and used for greater impact.

• Quite simply, it is fun! You get to have conversations and connect with other like-minded leaders, which is especially important in this digital world.

You probably already know that podcasting can help you build a more profitable business and life ... In this episode, I detail out all the reasons why you SHOULD have a podcast, and all the personal benefits I’ve experienced through my own podcast.

For example...

• It has allowed me to be introduced to some of my heroes and mentors that used to not know I even existed.

• New clients and partnerships have popped up directly in my inbox, begging me to work with them.

• It's made me confident that I am leaving a legacy of valuable content for my family & (future) kids.

• Plus, it's been the most fun talking point when meeting new people!

BUT if you have you ever said the following, then you are NOT alone:

• I have zero clue where to even start.

• I'm overwhelmed with all the podcasting logistics and tech.

• Isn't it a crowded space already?

• Am I up for this?

• What if I hate the sound of my own voice?

• Does anyone even care what I have to say?

I get it. I started my podcast, Power Your Purpose, two years ago and had all the same fears. 

• I hacked and cobbled my way through YouTube, learning DIY-style for MONTHS... before I realized there was a much easier way.

• I recorded my first episode 6 times, and then was too embarrassed to release it because I wasn't used to the sound of my own voice. But now, 70+ episodes later, I've learned how to...dare I say it... really love my voice with some tweaks & tips.

• I had ZERO audience to start... but I built an engaged community through releasing consistent episodes (and a few other tricks up my sleeve).

• I didn't know the first thing about how to reach out to book guests... but I created and perfected pitch templates that work more than 90% of the time with ease.

So, tune in to this episode ASAP and learn from ALL my mistakes, and what I would do differently if I had to do it all over again, from the beginning.

If you are READY to get your podcast launched, snag a spot in my Podcast Incubator. I’ll show you how to build a successful podcast, grow your audience, and turn strangers into raving fans!

Today I’m sharing the 3 BIG things that saved 2020 for me. I took some key actions to keep moving forward despite some less than ideal circumstances, and they might be helpful for you too! I’ve especially found that looking at the year with a redemptive view is necessary to move forward and leave it behind in a positive way.

This episode is meant to encourage and inspire you to do the same.

You will learn about:

• How to develop adaptive, energetic coping mechanisms to curb bad habits

• My favorite WFH productivity tips to use into the new year

• The importance of asking “HOW” not “WHEN” (hint: not asking “when we will get back to normal?” but “How can I still meet my needs in these different circumstances?”)
