This episode is a bit of a rant— I am so frustrated seeing folks on the internet telling others what to do. The truth is they have no idea how you operate, what your privilege and access is, your mental and physical health, your trauma response, how your brain works, or more. I break down why this frustrates me so much, and how to avoid it.
In this episode, I discuss:
How no one can or should give general advice to an audience knowing what each individual should do
How folks giving generalized advice don’t know your personal unique situation, yet tell you what to do
Why it’s problematic that often people giving advice on the internet come from massive privilege and don’t acknowledge that
Why you should focus on sharing experiences and your stories, versus giving (or taking) blind advice

Today’s topic of conversation came about from something that recently came up at an IMBY gathering about standing out as an entrepreneur in a saturated market. Is there really space for everyone?

In this episode, I discuss:
The beauty and challenges of everything moving online during the pandemic
How to narrow in your audience to be clearer on who you’re trying to reach
Explore creating a more specific offering

There’s a lot of talk about anti-capitalist business in my communities, and while I have been embodying some of the principles for some time now, I built IMBY with anti-capitalism as a core value. In this episode, I break down four ways that I am approaching anti-capitalism in my business, with specific examples. Please note— I am not an expert on this topic! I am still learning and growing, and if there are things you’ve learned that you’d like to share or ways I can evolve my understanding of the topic, I am always open to feedback and conversation.
In this episode, I discuss:
How I am approaching anti-capitalism as an entrepreneur with a small business
How I define anti-capitalism (a work in progress!)
Using a sliding scale for equity and accessibility

If you’re keeping up with trends, taking fancy supplements and powders, doing the face masks, and beyond— that’s great. But what is it in service of?
