535: QUIET DOESN'T MEAN FORGOTTEN - A BUSINESS PEP TALK FOR THE HARD WEEKS show art 535: QUIET DOESN'T MEAN FORGOTTEN - A BUSINESS PEP TALK FOR THE HARD WEEKS

And So...

This week, I’m coming to you mid-chaos — recording from my warehouse, in a season that’s been anything but calm. If you’ve been quiet lately — whether from grief, burnout, or just life being too much — this episode is for you. It’s a real-time reflection on what it means to show up when you can’t really show up, and a reminder that quiet seasons still count. You’re not behind. You’re human. And your business? It’s still yours, even in the silence. RESOURCES MENTIONED NOTE: Some links below contain affiliate/referral links. It is a way for this site to earn...

And So...

Post Malone’s career pivots aren’t random — they’re layered, intentional, and rooted in curiosity. In this episode, I unpack his latest move into fashion and what it teaches us about following what sparks your interest, letting clarity meet you along the way, and why curiosity might just be the most underrated business strategy out there.   RESOURCES MENTIONED NOTE: Some links below contain affiliate/referral links.

And So...

Overwhelmed, stuck, and not sure where to start? Yep, me too. In this episode, I’m talking about analysis paralysis—how it showed up in my literal garden, what it mirrors in business, and why waiting for the “perfect plan” keeps us spinning. If your to-do list feels like a wild, overgrown mess, this one’s for you. Let’s talk about how to move again, even if it’s just one small thing at a time.   RESOURCES MENTIONED NOTE: Some links below contain affiliate/referral links.

And So...

Grief doesn’t pause for deadlines — and when you’re a business owner, you don’t always get to either. This week, I’m pulling from personal experience to talk about navigating loss while still holding the weight of a business, why it’s essential to make space for grief, and how to give yourself permission to show up differently when life unravels.

And So...

Clarity isn’t a one-time win—it’s a moving target. In this episode, I’m sharing why I scrapped a finished funnel, what I built instead, and how real clarity often comes from what you won’t do. If you’ve been second-guessing your next step or stuck in misalignment, this one’s for you. RESOURCES MENTIONED NOTE: Some links below contain affiliate/referral links.

A not-so-great vacation rental and a grocery store stuck in the past sparked this week’s business nugget: why first impressions still matter.

And So...

Struggling to make your Instagram bio actually do something for your brand? In this episode, I’m walking you through the real-time updates I made to mine—what wasn’t working, what finally clicked, and the strategy I’m leaning on to connect with the right people.

And So...

Feeling the summer slump? You’re not alone. In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on what my farm stand has taught me about marketing over the past six weeks—no funnels, no formulas, just real-life strategy that started with a couple of Facebook Marketplace listings and turned into repeat customers, word-of-mouth magic, and a three-figure week. From why relevance beats volume to the power of a good photo and what it means to truly connect with your people, I’m walking you through 12 business truths that snuck up on me while I was just trying to sell some cucumbers.

And So...

This week, I’m sharing a real-time glimpse into what it looks like when something clicks — when your business starts to connect in a way you can feel. The farm stand is only a few weeks old, but the response? Immediate. Loyal. Deep. It’s reminding me of something I’ve always believed but hadn’t felt this strongly in a while: the best brands don’t sell — they make you want to join the club. I’m talking through how that’s unfolding, what it means for how we show up in business, and why availability, curiosity, and collaboration might just be the secret sauce. Plus a quick...
