Thereās a LOT going on over here that I canāt wait to share with you. (Well IĀ figurativelyĀ canāt wait āĀ literallyĀ I can and will, because the anticipation is half the fun ;))
In the meantime today I wanted to officially THANK YOU for helping me sendĀ A Course About CopyĀ off in style this month. After six years of holding the doors open, it feels so good (and also scary in the best kind of way) to meet, greet, and serve the ACAC class of 2020, close this chapter, and create space for the next.
On that ānextā note, Iāve got a fresh podcast conversation to share with you ā recorded a few months back with the fabulous Kirsten Tyrell, host of theĀ MarvelousĀ podcast.
I just relistened to the whole thing (at 2x speed; you know how I doā¦) and took some notes to help give you an idea of what we cover, including:
- Building life + biz on your own terms
- Letting go of the (exhausting expectations that come with the) need to be-do-have it all at ONCE
- The life-changing power of knowing who you are, what you want, and making choices that align with both
- The drawbacks to of having success / being super profitable right off the bat
- Finding divine order in the chaos and the squiggle ā struggle seasons
- The crushing mom guilt / watershed moment that shifted everything for me (+ how I eventually shifted from guilt to legit gratitude)
- The value of identifying and trusting your lifeās divine breadcrumbs ā especially when youāre in a dip / foggy space
- Finding your ideal balance between creating for yourSELF and creating for othersWhy using FB ads (the way that I initially did) sucked a lot of fun out of my business
- Updates on Naptime Empires + teasers about the podcast Iām dreaming up NEXT
- Shout out toĀ The Gift of Mom Guilt [NE 054]: how to shorten your guilt-to-gratitude rebound time
- How being super intentional about our savings set us up for this season of exploration
- The importance of being honest about what truly inspires you (hint: it may or may NOT be money)
- How to get over yourself if youāve got a superwoman/man/human complex
- Musings on taking up the space you were designed to create ā not more, not less
- Update on my book writing plans (+ why Iām not currently in a rush)
- The power of a deep EXHALE when you need it (and donāt we almost always need it?)
- An audio peek at what Iām envisioning for my next visual brand (slow burn but itāll be SO WORTH IT)
- How to get a good 15ish minutes of inspo-spark vs. waiting for inspiration to fall into your lap
- Who and how I am serving moving forward
Truth: I couldāve spent 30 minutes trimming this list down to like five super concise headline-y points, making it more copywriting-friendly but NOPE.
