Pursuing HER Purpose

Are you feeling the weight of anxiety, fatigue, or sleepless nights? Maybe you’ve been lacking creativity or just have that numbness about life? You may be feeling burnout, and this is so easy to fall into if you aren’t proactive. At Pursuing HER Purpose, we know that burnout could literally be just a step away, which is why we are talking about this important topic today. We want you to focus on what you can control, to get clear on your expectations, your work-life integration, and realize that you need to be very clear on your personal values and what really matters most to you. 

In this episode, you’ll hear our tips and strategies for overcoming and preventing burnout, and if you have not yet taken our values assessment, make sure to head over to https://www.pursuingherpurpose.com/blog/findingyourvalues,  as determining your values will be key in this process.

We’d love to hear how you’ve used these strategies and resources to avoid burnout in your own life, so be sure to let us know over on Instagram, @pursuingherpurpose!

It’s Kat here, and today I’m so excited to introduce you to my new friend, Jacqueline Hawk. Jacqueline is a certified coach, corporate veteran and a mother, and in this episode, she helps with a simple (yet powerful!) thing, which is how to ask for what you actually want. 

This is a skill that can help with the gender pay gap, The Great Resignation, and with your mental health. Today, Jacqueline reveals how you can use her “Power of the Ask” 4-step system in real life scenarios, and it will not only help you ask for what you want, but you will feel deserving of it, which is so key. 

We’d love to hear about your experiences in using this information to ask for what you want, and be sure to share it with us on Instagram, @poweroftheask and @pursuingherpurpose!

It’s time for another Behind the Scenes (BTS) episode, which as you know, are some of our favorite ones to record, especially when things are happening real time here at Pursuing HER Purpose! Today’s episode is a peek under the hood, as we dive into what has happened in the month of June (so far). Obviously, the biggest thing this month has been the launch of our brand new program, Purposeful Podcast, which takes you from A to Z of starting your very own podcast, including equipment, to episode writing, growth, monetization and all of the strategies that we use with our different podcasts.

You’ll hear it all today, like how the community aspect of this course developed, the strategies we used for this latest launch and the results we generated, including numbers like sales and the conversation rate. We also share what the next phase of Pursuing HER Purpose looks like, and how we’ll be backing away from content creation and moving into a growth and marketing phase where we focus on connecting with more of the right people for our brand! 

Do you know someone who has been thinking about starting their own business, or wishing that they could launch their very own podcast? As we enter this new phase, we would be so honored if you shared us with them. It could be one of our podcast episodes that you really liked and resonated with you, or an Instagram post or Instagram Reel that might speak to them. Whatever it is, we just believe so much in the power of word of mouth, and would be so grateful as doing this would really help us out!

Podcasting has really taken off in the past couple of years, and this may leave you wondering if you should start a podcast and if having one could work for your business. As you probably know by now, at Pursuing HER Purpose we love podcasts, and today we want to answer these questions for you! 

In this episode you’ll hear what is happening in the podcast industry, particularly with female listenership, why all three of us love podcasting so much, and the different ways to monetize a podcast (even with a newer podcast in a narrow niche). We share our experiences in launching and running multiple podcasts now, and how podcasting can position you as an authority in your field of expertise and lead to tremendous opportunities, as it has for Amy! 

If you have a podcast on your heart and a message you just know the world needs to hear, we would love to have you in the first group of our Purposeful Podcast Course. This course will walk you through exactly how to make and launch a podcast, and you’ll have the opportunity to join very soon, on June 21st! For the first 50 people that join, we’re going to send you a physical workbook with your order, as we have done with our Purposeful Business students, and this will expand on what you learn inside the course. Our Purposeful Business students will have first dibs to join, and then we are going to open spots to our waitlist that you can sign up for at https://view.flodesk.com/pages/6261bd1546c9ddac82188a5f!

It’s Kat here, and today I am so thrilled to introduce you to Andrew and Emma Hubbard, the co-founders of Brightest Beginning, an online community and educational hub that teaches parents about everything from early development, sleep, teething, eating and potty training. 

Emma is a pediatric occupational therapist with over 10 years of clinical experience, and her husband Andrew is also the founder of Hubbard Digital, a leading marketing and education company that specializes in Facebook and Instagram Ads. Andrew and I actually used to work together at the last company I was with, and he is the brains behind supporting that business to reach multiple 7-figures in revenue per year. Since then, he has ventured into the world of YouTube, supporting Emma to reach over 191,000 subscribers in less than 2 years! 

You’re going to hear all about how they’ve grown their YouTube channel and business, and what to consider if you are a content creator looking to maximize results using that platform, or what to do if you’re considering becoming a content creator. If you think YouTube is “too saturated”, it’s not, and Andrew gives a great answer on why this is!  Andrew and Emma give some excellent reasons for why you just need to get started if you’ve been on the fence about publishing on YouTube, what they’ve done to build a business using the platform (from the ground up!), getting comfortable taking risks, what to do to prevent burnout, and so much more. I am so inspired by their story, and I hope you are as well!

We’re always revisiting our priorities and what we’re feeling the most passionate about, and as 3 working moms with multiple kids, there are times we cannot show up with our full selves. That is when we have to give each other the space to allow this to happen, all while staying super focused on keeping the promises we make to our students. These are just some of the things we dive into today, along with some exciting details on the big things coming!

Like we always say, a big part about Pursuing HER Purpose is making sure that we are called to make what we are putting in the world.

We are thrilled to have Deepa Purushothaman on the podcast today to talk about a very important topic right now, as we are at a moment of reckoning with women leaving the workforce in droves. The social justice movement has illuminated that what’s happening at work just isn’t working, especially for women of color, and Deepa is someone who asks the big questions that aren’t being asked right now around race. Her work is shining a light on these issues which have always been there but just not talked about, and for that we are so grateful to have the opportunity to bring Deepa on the podcast to share her thoughts and insights with you. 

Deepa’s book, The First, the Few, the Only: How Women of Color Can Redefine Power in Corporate America, was published in March 2022 to international acclaim, and if you loved this conversation with Deepa, you’ll definitely want to read it.
