Our Friday Coffee Talk episodes are a time for Danielle and me to chat about anything and everything. We are so happy this community enjoys hearing us talk about things that often get discussed at a coffee shop, the things you tell your girlfriends.

Today we are sipping coffee and talking about failure.

Why it is okay to fail.

How failing at something can help you learn new things about yourself.

Danielle and I list a ton of things we failed at over the years. It was actually a lot of fun to look back on the things we didn't do so well at. 

We learned we both started projects while our husbands were at OCS, both of our projects failed!

Maya Elious is a personal branding strategist that teaches bloggers and coaches how to expand their influence online so they can elevate their income and impact. She does this by speaking, writing, coaching, and hosting workshops about branding, strategy and personal development.

When she’s not helping her clients build a digital empire, she can be found watching Netflix and eating pizza.

Maya's version of success:

Living a life that makes you feel full and complete.

I realized somebody else's definition of success didn't necessarily match mine. I had to create my own idea of success for myself in order for me to be happy and fulfilled.

Today, 2/9/16 is our 1 year anniversary for She Percolates!

To celebrate our 1 year anniversary we are pre-selling our ebook, Conquering Chaos:  Reducing Overwhelm + Increasing Focus. Learn more at http://shepercolates.coffee

Focus and productivity do not have to be elusive and they can be part of your every day life. You can make big strides by starting with just a few small steps.

We can help.

We are so excited to introduce you to our very first ebook {learn more at http://shepercolates.coffee} to help you overcome mental and physical chaos once and for all and get moving on those big goals and ideas you have!

Last fall, we brought you an email series challenge that took you from cluttered to focused in 5 days. We got so much good feedback about it, and we are constantly being asked to cover the topics of focus, balance, goal settings and kick starting yourself into a new project.

When we set out to bring you the Get Focused Challenge, we thought it would be a fun way for us to all declutter our minds and refocus our intentions – for personal or business life. When we saw how many of you were ALL ABOUT that, we knew the challenge had to continue and we knew we had more to share about these topics.

Conquering Chaos is a 25+ page ebook full of tips on how to identify stressors,  identify things that make work more effective, get rid of mental and physical clutter, goal setting and so much more! We have put our heads together to bring you our very best tips for focusing. Here’s a hint: focus begins with an uncluttered mind, a solid idea and whatever it is that makes YOU feel relaxed.

Not sure what you next move should be in your business? Or how to make your ideas a reality? Or maybe you feel yourself losing track of all your “me time” and want to get it back. In any of those – and so many other cases – this ebook can help you navigate to clarity!

We get it, you’re busy. We are too! That’s why we didn’t overload this with excessive text and nonsense rambling. Nope nope nope. We are trying to help you REDUCE the overwhelm, so we streamlined this guide to include only our very best insights and work throughs!

Everything in this ebook is meant to help you eliminate that feeling of overwhelm, allowing you to focus more on the things that matter.

Only the best for our gals.

We are so happy this community enjoys hearing us talk about things that often get discussed at a coffee shop, the things you tell your girlfriends.

Today we are sipping coffee and talking about the impulse to apologize.  This has been a topic we've wanted to discuss since we first started this podcast.  Once the plug-in Just Not Sorry came out we knew we needed to chat about why we feel the need to apologize for things that aren't our fault.

I also reference this ELLE article.

Today we are sipping coffee and talking about small goals versus big goals. We mention pie in this episode approximately 134 times! You'll have to listen to find out why!

Our philosophy is the small goals add up to accomplishing the big goals. You have to start small, you have to get it all down on paper and tackle it one task at a time!
