How to Plan for $100K in Your Creative Business
Work Out Loud with Heather Davis
Annual planning doesn’t have to be scary or overly complicated. In this episode, I walk you through exactly how I plan my year financially, using my $100K revenue goal as a real, transparent example. We talk numbers, capacity, pricing, and why not choosing a revenue goal keeps so many creatives stuck reacting instead of building. If you’re ready to stop reacting and start planning, I’m currently booking VIP Vision Building Days. We’ll build your year together: Numbers, offers, and pacing included. You can learn more at

You're Allowed to Have a Launch Party
Work Out Loud with Heather Davis
Women are only allowed to celebrate themselves publicly for a birthday, a wedding, a baby, or their own funeral. Gathering your community to mark a career shift, launch a business, or debut a rebrand, feels wrong, indulgent, or wildly premature. We’ve been trained to do less, stay grateful, and move on quietly, even when something big just happened! This episode is your green light to have whatever type of IRL launch gathering, event, banger, celebration, or bash that you desire without feeling like you’re doing too much or that you’re not enough.

Building a Story-Led Social Strategy
Work Out Loud with Heather Davis
What if Instagram didn’t have to feel like a constant sales pitch to actually work? Today I’m talking about how I’m approaching a story led social strategy going into 2026, and why connection and trust matter more than posting offers on repeat. I'm sharing why “everything is content” is flattening our feeds, how storytelling creates long term momentum, and what it really means to work out loud without oversharing.

The Vision Shift: Supercut Creative Isn’t a “Content Creator” Anymore
Work Out Loud with Heather Davis
This week, I’m joined by my sister and filmmaker behind Supercut Creative, Hannah Dougherty-Gaden, to talk through the vision shift unfolding inside her business and life. Hannah has been known as the “content person” for a long time, but that’s not really what she wants to make anymore. She came into her VIP Vision Building Day and said she’d been feeling blah in her work...so we started there, and followed it straight to the real direction for Supercut Creative. Three hours later, her future was clear. When your work feels flat, you don’t have to force it. You’re allowed...

Chat GPT is not your brand copywriter
Work Out Loud with Heather Davis
I asked ChatGPT to write my website copy and then compared it to my actual website copy, written by me: An acutal human copywriter. Hit play for my reasons why copy-pasting whatever ChatGPT writes for your Insgram caption, event page or website doesn't save you time or money...It just drains your originality.
