• How I'm Surviving Motherhood and Building a Business
    Jul 4 2024

    It has been a hot minute (this will get dated fast..) and I apologize! In this episode I talk a little bit about the psychological struggles of building a business while being a mom...or being a mom while building a business. What does it really take to for me to keep my sanity while taking care of three children, keeping my marriage intact, not living too much like a slob, and buidling a profitable business? I do believe that building a business is first a mental game. There is a mental toughness and perspective required to keep calm and stay consistent.

  • 21. This Is What Marketing Strategies Are Built Around
    May 10 2024

    It has been so fun learning how to build a business! One of my favorite things to learn about is marketing. Probably because I used to undervalue and underestimate it before. But as I am trying to build this business and get more people into my world, it's been a pleasant surprise to learn that marketing is actually fun and not icky! Today I want to share a marketing concept that has completely blown my mind and provides me with hours of fun just thinking about it and strategizing based on this concept. It feels personal and genuine to me, not icky like how I used to think about sales and marketing.

  • 16. An Alternative to the Typical Paper and Digital Planner
    May 2 2024

    As entrepreneurs, we're often so busy and buried in working on multiple projects. It can be extremely hard to be organized and plan everything. When I was a teacher, I was busy with all the things, multiple classes across multiple grades along with a handful of extracurricular activities. I was forced to find a planning system that would really work. I share that system with you in this episode. I have found it exponentially more effective than the typical paper planner or digital planner. I hope you find it helpful, too!
