We all know what it feels like to AGONIZE over a comment you made, a mistake, a situation you didn't handle perfectly… But how did you deal with those thoughts after it happened?

And how are you prepared to handle your own thoughts of not being READY, not being ENOUGH? You deserve to live in the moment and not beat yourself up about a mistake. Stop the overthinking spiral and learn how to move on — you've got this.

Simplicity needs to be your new BFF if you're an over-complicator like me…

This episode dives into complications and imaginary hurdles you put in your own way, for a number of reasons. I'm talking about how to sniff them out, how to jump over or ignore them, and why you might want to get scrappy and creative with what you already have.

Ideas are great, and they're what got you here in the first place. But simplicity is king and it might not come naturally for you. Here's how we can fix it!

In today's episode my husband, Ryan Kelly, is joining us for the first of his new book club series. In each episode, Ry will share the biggest takeaways from a business / entrepreneurial / self-development book of my choosing. The TLDR version is that he's a super fast reader and I'm not, so I figured we could all benefit from his gifts.

In this first episode of the Ryan Kelly Book Club you'll hear a review of "4 Hour Workweek" by Tim Ferriss. Timmy says we could all be doing a better job of reallocating our time to pursue either a business or our passions — more on that in this episode.

PLUS, a fun story from gym class.

If you want to read along with Ry (although this is legit the best book club ever because you *don't* have to read the book…!) the next read is "Deep Work" by Cal Newport. Great name.

Today's conversation with Sophie Abboud will have you redefining leadership and thinking about mindfulness in a totally new way. Through her work in Mindful Business Leadership, Sophie is impacting the way people are leading their teams and their own lives.

I'm excited to have her on the podcast today to provide some insight about how mindful leadership is so much more than a lunch hour yoga class or meditation. Self awareness, self regulation, emotional intelligence — just a few pieces of the puzzle that Sophie is working hard to connect for her clients.

If you think step one is dump a whole collection of random photos into a media library and step two is think of what you might like to say next Monday at noon — you'd be wrong.

This episode dives deep into my system for scheduling posts to maximize your productivity and bust through writer's block. Spend more time working in your "zone of genius" and less time stringing two crappy captions together and calling it a day.

In an internet-heavy, content-rich world, it's pretty tough for a content creator to "invent" something TOTALLY unique. We're talking about a topic that many shy away from — the difference between copying and inspiration.

If there are "no new ideas," how do we navigate the fine line between being inspired by someone we admire and replicating their work as our own?

I'm joined by repeat guest, Alyssa Beltempo, creator of the sustainable fashion YouTube channel, Ms. Beltempo (celebrating 82k subscribers and climbing!). In this episode we will:

• unpack the subtle differences between copying vs. inspiration
• share the importance of adding your own unique voice and personality in your art
• offer simple solutions that prevent the possibility of copying someone else's work
• share tips for confronting or opening up the conversation with the other party
• provide insight into a healthy mindset doesn't sweat the small stuff
