How many times have you waited to hit publish on something because “it’s not ready yet”? Or how much time have you spent researching HOW to do something, instead of actually doing it?
You, my friend, have fallen into the “perfection” trap (no judgement: I know this trap well).
While it may seem like you’re just trying to get everything perfect, you’re actually just procrastinating! You’re using the impossible goal of perfection as an excuse to stay in your comfort zone and never share your work or ideas with anyone.
In today’s episode, we’re debunking the perfection myth and getting real about the mindset shifts involved in boldly and confidently taking action, even when you don’t feel ready.

Let’s be honest: putting your thing out into the world is SCARY! Whether you’re an artist or a coach or a small business owner, it can always be uncomfortable talking about your product or service.
You might start asking yourself “what if no one buys?”
Or “what if people thing I’m being annoying?”
Or, worst yet, “what if no one is paying attention at all and I just hear crickets every time I post?”
And these are all totally natural fears, but they’re getting in your way! Your fear of being annoying or salesy is holding you back from showing up authentically and confidently selling what you have to offer.
In today’s episode, I’m talking with Shaina Braun, founder of the Anti 9-5, about to get over all of those limiting beliefs that are holding you back from showing up, sharing your thing, and making sales!
She’s talking about how often you should post about your offer (spoiler: it’s a lot!) and how to make sure that your content is being seen by the right people at the right time. We’re also digging into finding your path as a multi-passionate person, infusing your business with brand with your own personality, and how to find confidence when you’re first starting out.
In other words, it’s a value-packed conversation and you’re not going to want to miss this one.

Content creators, influencers, and solo-travelers alike all know the struggle of trying to film content in public. “Are people judging me? Do I look super cringey?” These are common (and totally valid!) thoughts, but you can’t let fear of judgement keep you from creating the content you want.
In this episode, I’m sharing the 6 best tips for tackling the discomfort that comes with public content creation, so you can confidently step in front of the camera no matter where you are. I’m also sharing several of my own anecdotes from filming in public to remind you that you’re not alone.

If you’re tired of old-school financial advice that preaches restrictive spending so you can afford a house (because hey, that advice sucks and maybe you don’t even WANT to buy a house), this is the episode for you.
Mimi Cirbusova, a certified financial education instructor and shame-free money mentor, knows that money is a truly personal topic and that one-size-fits-all advice does not work here. In this conversation, Mimi shares her advice for ditching the shame that so often comes with conversations surrounding money, spending money on the things you truly love, and creating joy in your life if you’re on a savings journey.
And we’re getting super personal in this episode as Mimi gives me a little bit of a private coaching moment to help me figure out what my spending trigger is!

If you’re interested in the personal development space like me, you’ve likely heard about the power of positive affirmations. Maybe you’ve even tried them out yourself, journaling or saying them when you first wake up.
“I am confidence. I am capable. I am abundant. I am successful.”
And while there is evidence to support that affirmations can be a healthy addition to your daily routine and effective in helping you develop a growth mindset, it’s not as simple as writing out these 3-word sentences.
In today’s episode, I talk with Dr. Marlynn Wei, MD about the science of affirmations, how to get the most out of the practice, and why affirmations have potentially not worked for you in the past.

Whether you’re applying for jobs, trying to book new clients for your own business, or putting creative work out there as an artist, self-doubt is just a natural part of the process. Questions like “am I good enough?” and “why is everyone saying no?” are bound to pop up at some point. It’s those little thoughts that motivated Amy Bernstein to write her new book, Wrangling the Doubt Monster: Fighting Fears, Finding Inspiration.
In today’s conversation, we cover Amy’s transition from a steady, full-time job in the government sector, to a more creative path later in life. She shares great insights on how to prepare for a big change like that, how to continue to put your creative work out there when you’re feeling discouraged, and steps you can take to wrangle your own doubt monster next time it pops up.

It’s my birthday and I’m celebrating by sharing a big announcement about the next chapter of my life! It’s time to say goodbye to Lake Tahoe (at least for now) to travel and go all-in on my UGC creation journey. And while leaving a place I love is really scary, there are so many inspiring women out there who didn’t discover their passion until later in life, so I’m choosing to trust that I’ll end up where I’m supposed to be.

If you like reading (a lot) and you like socializing (a little) then Silent Book Club was made for you! Now, what is Silent Book Club you might ask? It’s basically what it sounds like! It’s a chance to gather at a cool spot in your city and silently read a book of your choice amongst other book lovers. There’s no pressure to talk about what you’re reading or keep up with the pace of the other people in the group. It’s just a place to relax and connect with others at your own comfort level.
On today’s episode with Laura Gluhanich, one of the founders of Silent Book Club, we talk about how this idea grew from two friends reading at a bar together in San Francisco to a global community of more than 900 chapters on 6 continents! We also talk about following a passion project outside of your 9-5, how to cooperate on a big idea like this with a friend, and how to empower the early adopters of your mission to help spread the word.
