Sometimes life happens and we have to go on anyway. On with our businesses, responsibilities, and lives. In this week’s mini-episode of the ✨Philosophies✨ podcast, I’m talking about how to navigate that reality.

We all experience joys and sorrows, and at the same time, having a business is a huge responsibility. Our clients are counting on us. But also…breakups, kids, loss, success…these are all normal parts of the human experience that aren’t things we need to simply ‘get through’. Work and life are all a part of our wellness. Are you letting one consume you more than the other?

Take a listen and then come back and tell me what you think!

Wherever you are, you’re not alone. Your business should serve to energize and fulfill the life you want to lead. Does it?

A month of good content should take more than an hour to create. 🤷🏻‍♀️⁠

A lot of marketing professionals are making a lot of money off of the knowledge that everyone is trying to save TIME rn.

Good ideas, good content, and good marketing takes time to create. If you’re banging your head against the wall because someone told you that you can do all you marketing in an hour or two…

I’m sorry, but that is simply false.

What if you allowed yourself to create less, but with more intention? What if you could become a thought leader in your space? What kind of content would a true thought leader create?⁠ I guarantee that the truly great leaders of our world would spend a lot more time developing their ideas.

A mentor of mine, .co, always challenged us to wait 24 hours before we hit publish on anything. That really stuck with me.⁠

We need MORE voices that are actually saying something worth listening to and LESS voices contributing "half-baked ideas", as Amber calls it. ⁠

Are there strategies to batch, repurpose, and optimize the way you create content for your people so it takes less time? Yes. ⁠

Does it have to be perfectly, expertly crafted all the time? No.⁠

But does this modern society we live in NEED all of us to say less, with more intention? YES.

There’s this very common thing that happens as we grow up, which is that the obligations and responsibilities start to pile up and pretty soon every nook and cranny of our lives is filled to the brim with commitments. ⁠⁠
⁠⁠
We get to this place where life starts to happen to us and we stop feeling like we have a choice in the matter. ⁠⁠
⁠⁠
Then you throw in entrepreneurship and there’s just no way to sort through the mess anymore.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
I want you to know that I don’t say any of this from a place of judgement. This comes from a place of being a constant work in progress, myself, from working through the mess. And from many wake-up calls where I had to bounce back from huge “failures” that at the time felt like the end of the world.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
This idea of life happening to us and losing the ability to CHOOSE is simply a mindset we adopt over time rather than a fact of life. ⁠⁠
⁠⁠
Today on the Philosophies Podcast, I'm sharing ③ ways to navigate all the uncertainty of owning your own business. It is my hope that this can help you find more joy and peace in your efforts to make an impact in this world.⁠⁠

Just some tips from me to you for keeping that grid ON POINT. ✨⁠⁠
⁠⁠
Do you have to have a perfect feed? NO. ⁠⁠
⁠⁠
Are these tips only for for classy, high end brands? Definitely no. ⁠⁠
⁠⁠
But do you want to be a professional in your space? For 99% of you, that would be a yes. ⁠⁠
⁠⁠
There's always a way to hone in and stay true to your brand vibe, while communicating that in a more cohesive way.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
Even if you have that Bachelor in Paradise look and feel, there's a way to strategically rock it that looks absolutely on point, but still true to the brand. ⁠⁠
⁠⁠
Lately I've been feeling BORED with everything I'm designing so I'm working on PLAYING more. That's one thing I always say...you should be in LOVE with what you're putting out there. If you're not feeling that pride, it's time to stir things up. 💋

We're told so many things we ✨should✨ be doing, in both marketing and life. So many voices telling you how to live, what to think, what you should feel, what to do. ⁠

But I want to suggest another path forward. If you've ever felt like there's a secret path to success that everyone knows about, EXCEPT YOU, you're not alone...and this minin-episode of Philosophies is for you! ⁠

IT'S HERE! ✨Philosophies is HERE. I hope you take a moment to listen this new creative endeavor I'm taking to explore topics around wellness, holistic social media marketing and life as a small business owner. ⁠

The first episode is officially UP and today's musings are inspired by an excerpt of writing from one of my modern favorites, Morgan Harper Nichols. I'm sharing my thoughts around having faith that you are exactly where you are meant to be as a business owner and on learning to think for yourself as a creator.⁠

Like I mentioned, these are bite-sized (just like me) episodes that will end with a weekly affirmation (or maybe two, or three) to carry with you. 💋⁠

These eps are meant to uplift, inspire, and offer food for thought, often inspired by poetry, real things I'm contemplating in my business right now, or conversations I'm having in the industry. ⁠

Actual footage of me logging off early on a Friday and living my best life ALLLL weekend. ⁠

I think sometimes we approach life with this 'I'm going to work my butt off all week and then make space for myself on the weekend" mindset. But WHAT IF you conducted business in such a way that you can just enjoy ALL of life, through the work moments and the play moments? What if it could ALL feel nourishing to you?⁠

Just some 🍃food for thought for the weekend...⁠

___________________________⁠

Stay tuned on Monday, because we're dropping the FIRST episode of ✨Philosophies: A podcast of musings on marketing, life, and creating more space for your wellness as a business owner.✨⁠

I really wanted to approach this project as a creative endeavor that would also connect with my fellow solopreneurs & small business owners as we try to do this business thing, live the lives we've always dreamed of, and fit in smart, effective marketing at the same time. I did NOT want it to be another sales tactic. ⁠

If there are topics you want to muse on with me (could be wellness, social, digital marketing, or whatever floats your boat), drop them below and I'll fit it in! 💋⁠

Just a mid-week reminder to stay consciously aware of how much you give to OTHERS vs YOURSELF.

If this pic resonates, then it's time to set boundaries and make more space for hobbies, leisure, and joy.

Business gets to something that nourishes you, but it doesn't happen that way by accident. Take intentional steps to make the "things I've done to be happy" box bigger than the other one.

P.S. I've got something fun and FREE coming sooooon. Can you get what it is??

👀 One of the biggest mistakes I see small business owners making is looking externally for solutions to every problem. And to be more specific, they're looking on social media for the answers.

Here's what I encourage instead to embrace yourself more ⬇️

✨ Spend time reflecting on what makes your brand unique. What do you care about most? What norms are you challenging? What do you disagree with? What do you most value?

✨ Experiment. There isn't ONE pathway to success. Be playful and try new things. Dare to think differently. Just because someone says you need to post on reels 2x/day doesn't mean you should.

✨ Every time you find yourself letting perfectionism or fear of being judged stop you...show up anyway, mess and all. Some said (can't remember who) "the magic is in the messy". Literally let that hesitation act as a CUE to show up on stories, post that post, do that reel. Just make sure you're doing it in a way that feels like you and NOT like what you saw someone else doing. That will ensure that your content is refreshing instead of a repeat of someone else's message.

💋 Drop a comment if this resonates! How do you embrace your unique identity online?

Okay so this MAY be an exaggeration. 😂⁠

But ICYMI, Adam Mosseri, head of Instagram, recently shed some light on the behind the scenes, goings-on of Instagram. It seems they're making an effort to be more transparent so we can all be mentally prepared when there are changes. (How thoughtful, eh?)⁠

One of those updates was the news that Instagram would no longer be a photo-sharing app. It would now start prioritizing video in a BIG way.⁠

In order to make this more digestible for you as small business owners and/or solopreneurs, I wrote about 4 updates that he shared regarding changes coming in the IG landscape and what you need to take away from it from a business perspective.⁠

By the way, some of my insights may surprise you...I may be a social media strategist, but at the end of the day, it matters to me that you understand that social is part of a WHOLE digital marketing strategy. ⁠

Just one piece.⁠

And so, I'm looking out for YOU. Not Instagram.⁠
