When you leave your bubble of comfort and privilege, your vision can expand.

Your perspective can shift.

You may find yourself inspired to try new things, think about your situation differently, or find a deeper purpose in helping others.

On today's episode of Reprogramming, I challenge us all to think beyond the realms of our day-to-day approach to life and business, become more aware of our privilege and utilize the resources already available to us.

Take it from me, it's a game changer.

Not on my 2024 bingo card?

Declaring the death of my beloved.

We live in unprecedented times, but never did I expect to see the writing on the wall: a life-shifting change in how we use social media, both personally and professionally, on the immediate horizon.

But here we are.

On today’s episode of Reprogramming, I explore the 4 stages of social media death that we are experiencing in real time, and how they will forever change the way we use social media in our brands.

I’ll touch upon what social media used to almost guarantee for brand growth, what the future may hold, and how marketing-savvy business owners can best utilize it going forward, even as it continues to morph and evolve.

#RIP social. I'll never forget the good times.

What if I told you your greatest year in business awaits— and all you have to do is stop chasing that pie-in-the-sky revenue goal to access it?

Hard to believe, right?

Let me be the slap across the face you might just need: endlessly chasing an inflated revenue goal you may or may not ever hit in your business is actually doing the opposite. It’s keeping you small. Keeping you distracted. Keeping you exhausted and disappointed- all at once.

So instead of being smart in your business, you keep chasing a moving finish line— a finish line that you may not even have set out to reach— until the point you are ready to give up.

We can all stop doing that.

Your business can be a great success, provide sustainable income, and help you create the fulfilling life you crave without always needing to 

Today’s episode of Reprogramming helps us start to shift our perspective on chasing money, and find a better way to live and work.

Reprogramming was born out of a desire to question everything: what we believe, what we’re conditioned to do, and what it means be satisfied and successful in life and business.

Still, it took me years to fully break the rules of what it looks like to build a business, and even- what a podcast episode should look like!

In this short and snappy episode of Reprogramming (more on that inside,) we’ll explore how breaking the rules can get you where you want to go MUCH faster and with greater ease.

This podcast will buck against everything you've ever been taught by your favorite mindset coach or woo influencer, and it might just change your life.

Are you ready for it?

On today's episode, we talk about the *unpopular opinion* (this one is actually unpopular!) that to move ahead in your business and life, you should lower your expectations.

The expectations you've likely set for yourself are programmed by society, your upbringing, or the internet they likely aren't realistic or in many cases--- what you EVEN WANT.

Yet, they are eating us alive, causing us to feel like we will never measure up or cross the finish line.

We'll redefine playing small vs playing big, and explore how ACCEPTANCE can be the difference maker in all things personal and professional.

I hope you'll find ways to dabble in the practice of acceptance in your own life, and open yourself up to the thing that may open countless new doors for you.

I've had some excellent conversations on Reprogramming, but in this first guest episode of my SECOND year of podcasting, this one may be my new favorite.

My guest and I cover topics including what it's like to step into your creative genius, find joy in your craft, and find ways to TRULY support women, even when it's easier to go along with the crowd. We explore the *perception* of success versus the actual realization of it and how business owners can continuously find new ways to reinvent themselves and thrive.

It's open, it's honest, it's funny, and emotional. I think you'll take so much away from today's episode.
