What happens when the hobby you pick up as an adult becomes the thing that supports you financially? Today I'm talking to Kristen Mangus, a knitting YouTuber and author who has created an entire business around what started as just a hobby. We discuss how that happened and how asking for help can be so hard, yet so rewarding when building something of your own.

If you have a chronic illness (or chronic pain, or anxiety, or depression... the list goes on) this trend may make you want to throw your device out the window. Today I am talking (ranting?) about how focusing on productivity and positivity can actually be toxic and demoralizing if not taken in perspective. I don't have answers on how to fix this, but I want to start the conversation.

In today's episode I am chatting with my friend Jen DuFore, otherwise known as @jen_plans - she is the lead admin of We Love EC on Facebook, as well as running a successful budgeting group. We take a look at what isn't in frame in a picture or video, and how the mess is always lurking right around the corner.

Today I am talking about my struggles with body image and my complete avoidance of being captured in a photo. I don't promise to have answers, but I thought it might help some of you to share how I am fighting some pretty intense negative feelings towards myself.

In today's episode I am talking with Jessica Chung of @prettyprintsandpaper - she is a letterer, a calligraphy teacher and a bujo enthusiast. She also is passionate about remaining true to those things she holds as integral parts of herself. Join us as we work our way through the sometimes meta world of maintaining and growing a following on the internet.

Today I'm chatting with my good friend Kristin (of Krissyanne Designs) to understand what life is like when you run a successful product based business in the online planner community.

Today I'm sharing my thought process on how I decide to what to share on Instagram, Instagram Stories, Facebook and YouTube. Hopefully that will help you understand how you want to think about things.

As I start this journey into exploring the lives people live beyond social media, I thought I'd take a little time and tell you about MY life outside of the algorithm.
