Cancel culture can significantly impact entrepreneurs and small business owners, often exacerbating the challenges they already face in the online business world. We've had numerous conversations about the pressures of public scrutiny, feeling silenced, or being hesitant to speak up due to fear of backlash.
Recently, we were interviewed by our friend, Sara Fisk, on The Ex-Good Girl Podcast. The conversation was so impactful that we knew we had to share it with you. In this episode, we openly discuss our experience of being cancelled over our previous name, Namastream.

Do you write online? Your answer was probably either "Yes, I'm a blogger." or "No, I'm not a blogger." Writing online today is so much more than blogging. In this episode, we explore the various ways to write online, how you can write and create interactive experiences and how it can help you figure out what you believe. It's about thought leadership, and you don't have to have a PhD or have your beliefs figured out perfectly. Plus we debrief our last week's conversation with Sarah Fay and her strategy for writing on Substack.
