"Either you love dogs or you're wrong." -Life Is Good Brands

We're excited to feature Sheryl Matthys on today's episode - she's such a strong supporter of women and their businesses. Sheryl previously owned Successful Women Made Here, a monthly event celebrating the successes of women-owned businesses. She's now the creator of Fetch A Date, an app for dog lovers who want to meet new friends, find a date, or just hang out with dogs.

In a past life, Sheryl lived in New York City and hosted Leashes and Lovers events for people and their dogs. She's taken that same love of dogs and created Fetch A Date. We're happy she shared her story with us.

We recommend quite a few resources for finding money - sba.gov, Nerd Wallet, Grants.gov and others. Because we've never talked about money on SolePower, we thought this is a good time to do it. It seems everyone is struggling with some financial component of their business. We're here to help! We found an additional resource since the recording of the show, so we're adding it here too - https://www.ladieswholaunch.org/.

This week's SolePower episode features one of the sharpest women entrepreneurs we've ever met - Cara Siletto of Magnet Culture. She's a speaker, a trainer, an author, and a damn good leader.

When you think of evergreen marketing content, you might think about winter or Christmas. In fact, the term evergreen is used because evergreen trees are full and green year-round. Their foliage is not dependent on seasons. The same goes for evergreen marketing content - it can be used year-round and is not dependent on trends or timely events.

We chat this week about how you can create and publish your own evergreen marketing content and repurpose it over and over. Position yourself as an expert, so that Google recognizes you as a credible source and ranks your website higher.

As Gen Xers, Cheryl and I are part of the sandwich generation that will be responsible for taking care of children, while also taking care of parents. We were so relieved to find out that Christie Freeze offers a 60-minute call with families to talk about roles and resources for each member. AND she has a brand new book out on Amazon that helps families plan on their own.

As the oldest daughters, Cheryl and I were also happy to hear that by participating in this proactive call, the entire responsibility is shared, not left to us to decide everything. Traditionally, women are the ones who assume the responsibility of caretaking for an elder - with Christie's program, the load gets split up! Every member of the family discovers how they can help and what their talents are for helping.

After Christie's dad passed away at a young age, she was inspired to help other people plan the care of their parents. The GREAT thing about Christie's program is the resources! You don't know where to start? Christie does! And she'll share her resources and tools with you.

CARE by Christie's new book, Roadmap for Eldercare: A Simple Guide Equipping You with Tools and Resources for Eldercare Ease is available now on Amazon! Check it out.

Have a little grace with yourself this year - no need to tackle everything in the first quarter. We put so much pressure on ourselves to "be a new me in the new year," it sets us up for failure. We're conditioned to turn over a new leaf and just SUCCEED in January. Whatever happened last year is to be forgotten!

We all know that's not how life works. First quarter is a good time to re-evaluate our goals and see if they still make sense for our business. The ability to pivot and adapt is imperative when owning a business.

Last year at this time, I was diagnosed with breast cancer. I had all sorts of great business plans for 1st quarter, but cancer had a different idea. A lumpectomy and radiation treatment occupied my 1st quarter in 2023 - I had to adapt. It was an interruption, but it took center stage for a few months.

When we talked to Amy Ackermann in Episode 38, the topics of adaptability and harmony were the focus of our show. We try to create balance in our lives and we wear ourselves out. If instead we adapt and create harmony, we take a lot of pressure off of ourselves that can be used for better things.

Do you hygge? What is hygge?

A few years ago, the book, "The Little Book of Hygge: Danish Secrets to Happy Living," by Meik Wiking started popping up on everyone's bookshelves. Hygge - pronounced hoo-gah, explores the Danish concept of coziness and happiness, and who doesn't want that? During the gray, dark winter months, comfort and contentment are paramount. It's so easy to get into a funk in the winter - that's where hygge helps.

Hygge is all about being intentional with your time and community. Simplify your life and make yourself happier by exploring all that hygge has to offer - blankets, candles, conversation, and a break from all of the noise of your phone and electronics. Explore it with us on today's show!
