She Reaches Podcast

This episode is Part 2 of our series on side hustles. In this episode, we're talking about how you actually fit it in to your schedule. What it's like to commit time to it, how to plan your week, the steps you need to take before adding a side hustle in, and how to avoid burnout. And, one final bonus on how to handle it with your partner, particularly if you have kids!

Have you ever considered starting a side hustle? Do you even know what that is? This is the number one topic that people ask us about so we're going into all the details in a 2-part series on side hustles. We talk about what a side hustle is, how having one has changed our lives, and how it might benefit your full time job in unexpected ways.

We're talking to Bethany Kerley, production manager at CDR Fundraising Group, as part of our working women interview series. We chat about what the hardest part is of being a working mom, managing your schedule, and how to be prepared to buy a car by yourself. We're also laughing about Bethany's change of heart over driving a minivan!

Are you struggling with what your next career step is? If so, we've pack in lots of tips for how to figure it out in this episode. We're talking about specific signs that indicate you may be ready for your next step, understanding what you want and don't want, and tools to get you moving forward.

Do you ask for help? If you're like us, you pride yourself on being a strong woman, but that sometimes means you don't ask for help when you need it. We're talking about when you should ask for support and giving yourself a break from the "shoulds." You know, those things that you see other people doing on social media that become your standards?!? While it may be hard, we think you should ask for help anyway as it's the only way to move forward many times.

In this podcast, we're talking to Sarah Zero, co-founder and creative director of Wellstruck. We've been working with Sarah on our rebrand and she was so fantastic that we knew we had to have her on the show! We're covering the journey she took that got her to owning her own business - from corporate job to smaller agency to teaching to freelancing to having a business partner. Sarah also gives some great insight on not being the person who always says yes, keeping boundaries between your work life and personal life, and how asking for what you want can lead to great surprises.

Is there a right way to live? Should you even have a five year plan? These are the questions we're pondering in today's episode. We're walking down memory lane to our 20s where we both had 5 year plans and they didn't come true AT ALL. Our perspective on them has changed now that we're in our 30s even though we both still believe in setting goals. Bonus: we're also chatting a bit about capsule wardrobes at the beginning if you haven't tried them out yet!

Do you know what your love language is? People speak different languages of love. Not everyone gives and receives love in the same way. If you give love in the way people want to receive it, they will feel more loved. In this episode, we talk about what we've learned about our own love languages and how that compares to our husbands' languages. We also talk about how we've changed our behavior based on what we've learned about love languages.

Today's episode is another in our interview series giving you examples of real working women you can relate to and how they've been able to make things work.

In this episode, we're talking to Tracy Gravius. Tracy is a mom, wife, and business owner.

Tracy also shares more background on starting her company Pregastyle and why she wants pregnant women to feel beautiful without breaking the bank.

Do you think people should be friends at work? We believe that the benefits outweigh any potential negative consequences. However, there are some things to think about before sharing personal details with a coworker. That said, being friends can also benefit your work in terms of retaining employees, higher productivity, and better teamwork. We discuss all of that plus how to handle Facebook with coworkers.
