Are you constantly comparing your life, your business, or even your relationships to others? Friend, the comparison game is REAL. And tough. The stale advice of unfollowing accounts that make you feel less-than, or reading inspirational quotes about you being the only YOU that ever existed doesn’t actually fix the problem. You see, it’s not so much about handling the game, but working on our PERCEPTION of it.

We ALL want to feel understood right? It makes us feel connected to other people, less “alone”, and even serves the purpose of making us feel “right” or “validated”.

But what happens when people don’t understand? I was once a little girl that thought she could do anything and everything, and somewhere along the way that confidence and purpose was lost. But, I’ve brought her back, and I now understand that we don’t exist to prove ourselves to others.

We are all just “soooooo over the drama”, right?!

Mmmm, but are we really? Drama starts YOUNG, and it seems to grow and ingrain itself into our lives as adults. At the end of the day, it’s our responsibility to stop fueling it and stop creating the culture we say we hate. It’s okay to step away, avoid the drama, and let people go. It’s okay not to want opinions about every move in your life. So - how do we deal with the drama in our lives? We don’t, honey.

It feels REALLY good to be in demand, right? Whether that looks like a busy social calendar, having hundreds of likes on your latest Instagram post, or being the go-to person in your professional field. Our ego LOVES it. But when we go down the path of chasing popularity over profitability, we lose our standards and starting making poor choices in life and business. It’s time to get clear on what are attention-seeking moves and what are profitable moves.

Yep, I said it. You should NEVER have a side hustle! I know what you’re thinking - the girl who is all about entrepreneurship should be telling you to get after it right? Well you SHOULD - but not the way everyone else is telling you to. The grind that lives behind an additional income stream deserves to be called what it is - a business. It’s time to own your efforts and get clear on your goals.

One of the biggest challenges as an entrepreneur is knowing how to price yourself. But, where do we start? There’s no guide book handed to us when we make the commitment to starting a business. Spoiler: it starts with knowing your VALUE. You should be compensated WELL for everything you have to offer, and in this episode I’m outlining the steps you need to take to create a more confident mindset and name your price.
