One DM and I was on a spiral that almost cost me a bunch of cash and tons of time and energy, all because I couldn't see that it was just an example of shiny object syndrome.

In today's episode we're talking about distractions: the good ones and the bad ones, and how to tell the difference.

> How to filter out misplaced influence (I saw her doing that, so I have to!)

> Why detours call our name (this is my fave part)

> Why we're looking for the best-kept secret to success when really we should stick to our path…

YES, we're talking legal stuff, (like what contracts you need to run your small business and what clauses protect you in unpredictable issues) -- BUT, you don't need to freak out. Even if you're currently operating without a formal client agreement, this conversation won't make you feel shamed, judged, or rattled.

May this be the first truly approachable and entertaining conversation you hear about terms of use...

I was interviewed by a Trump supporter. Let's talk about it.

Plain and simple, I should have turned down this interview. I should have done more research and asked tougher questions before giving a resounding "yes!" when presented with the opportunity.

But opportunity is a tough thing to navigate, especially when we are hard-wired to want to be liked, to not cause waves, and to have a seat at the "grown-ups" table in our industry. In today's episode I'm sharing the story in hopes that it encourages you to do your own responsible research before accepting an opportunity that doesn't align with your personal values.

We're talking memes we like, and memes we don't — specifically anything to do with throwing away 2021 when we're only a week in. That energy isn't welcome here, folks. Not gonna happen.

So this is me opening up a confetti cannon of good shit for the soul. Take what you need, and leave the rest. Pass it on. Let it sink in. And re-listen any time you need of reminder of how capable you are, my friend.

Did you see the tiktok where the guy knocks on the front door and says he's the new you, ready to move into your place when the clock strikes midnight on New Years? It's just one of the many "new year, new me" memes that I've been loving this year. Maybe because they're hitting too close to home…

If you're wondering what to do with all of your pent up optimism right now, this ep will help you channel it into a recipe that you can help you figure out what to work on next. While we don't magically transform into the perfect versions of ourselves overnight, I do think there's value in being optimistic when it comes to the lasting effects of our self improvement. (This coming from a girl who had a spin bike delivered on December 31st.)

We're touching on self-worth, clarity, goal setting, and so much more in this long first episode of 2021. Happy New Year!

On one side: your thoughts, feelings, and experiences. On the other: the content you *think* your audience wants from you. It's time to take out the divider and let those two worlds meet.

Life has been heavy. Business has been busy. Let's bring some compassion to your headphones today with guest, Ashley Beaudin.

Ashley is a self-sabotage coach who is bringing her calming energy to the podcast today to talk about what it would mean to create a business that doesn't leave you feeling burnt out and overwhelmed.

Slowness, gentleness, and intentionality are three buzzwords you'll hear a lot, but Ashley is here to show us exactly how to put it into action. And yes, I know what you're thinking — it IS possible to take action without getting lost in the hustle-spiral.

After recording this episode, I ran straight to my calendar to add a few much needed days off. Be warned: you might do the same.
