The Creative Edition Podcast

As a creator, influencer, or small business owner, it might not cross your mind that you need a bio or biography ready. But if you’re being tapped to do a podcast interview or you’re taking on a speaking engagement, you’ll probably be asked for one.

I’m recently preparing for my first networking/speaking opportunity this year. I’ll be speaking on the panel at the Seattle Business Babes relaunch event. And Alisha, one of the gals behind Seattle Business Babes, requested a bio.

I hadn’t refreshed my bio since last year so I thought it was time to update it and also share how to write a bio. So if you’ve never written a bio before and you want to have one ready, this podcast episode is for you.

I’m going to share my short bio and then I’ll breakdown the tips on writing a bio.

I’m currently reading Burnout: The Secret to Unlocking the Stress Cycle by Emily Nagoski and Amelia Nagoski. I’m blown away by what I’ve learned.

As a creator, a new mom, a former aerospace project manager, a former graduate student working full-time, a former college student and more, I’ve dealt with stress for as long as I can remember. I wish I had a book like this in my early 20s. So today, I wanted to share one of the main things I’ve learned with this book:

The 6 ways to complete the stress cycle:

• Physical activity
• Affection
• Breathing
• Crying
• Laughing
• Creative Expression

Talking about your finances can be intimidating, stressful, overwhelming, and every other negative emotion out there. But I’m here to help you talk about your finances and maybe reframe your mindset around your finances.

If you’ve been listening to the podcast for a while or following me on Instagram, you know I talk about money. I personally have been turning around my negative relationship with money and I want to encourage creators (everyone) to also acknowledge their relationship with money. I want you to feel confident around thinking about your finances. 

So today, we’re going to chat about how to set financial goals as a creator or small business owner.

Here are the three steps to set your financial goals:

1. What are your financial goals as a creator?

2. Why do you want to achieve your financial goals?

3. How often are you measuring or tracking yourself to your financial goals?

The New Year brings lots of exciting changes, opportunities, and perspectives. Personally, I’ve always taken the new year to examine what new routines and habits I want to integrate into my lifestyle. If you’re looking for tips on building new routines and habits around your creative career or personal life, this episode is for you.

What is a routine? According to an article by Harvard Business Review “What does it take to build a new routine?”, a routine is a series of behaviors frequently and intentionally repeated.
