Doing Life...Well?

I’m so hype to announce the launch of the Doing Life...Well? podcast!

To be honest with you, I have been over the typical conversations around entrepreneurship for a long time now. Do we really need yet another conversation around creating a sales funnel, marketing strategy, or scaling to six figures? I doubt it. What I’m most interested in hearing about is what life is like for women entrepreneurs outside of their business.

How are they parenting?

What is dating like?

How are you managing anxiety and depression?

More importantly, how are you making rest a priority?

Each week, I’ll share candid conversations with inspiring women who share how they manage different aspects of their lives while building successful businesses! The first episode will drop on Monday!

How do you continue to grow within your business and maintain creativity when you're going through something as emotionally draining as a divorce? Is it even possible to continue flourishing in your business while going through such a huge life change?

This week Siobhan Middleton shares her journey of navigating through divorce. Siobhan and I chatted about what led her to decide she wanted a divorce, how she was able to cope emotionally and the people she leaned on, how the divorce affected her creativity and business, and what's next for her as she continues to discover who she is in this new season

My earliest memory of first learning about a "period" was in the 5th grade when our teachers put the girls and boys into separate rooms and they had us watch a movie on VHS about a girl starting her period for the first time. We were then handed a small bag that included a pad and a pamphlet then sent home. That was it.

It took me YEARS, a terrible menstrual cycle, a few quacky doctors, and a lot of research to learn just how much our periods affect our daily lives. From the way we plan )or not plan) for a family, to the conversations we have, and yes, to even how we run our business.

That's why this week I am so incredibly excited to share with you the conversation I had with Berrion Berry!

Berrion (pronounced berry-on) Berry is a Women’s Health Coach, Fertility Awareness Educator, & founder of Optimize Your Flo. Her work educates, equips, and empowers modern girls and women to embrace their hormonal nature through understanding their bodies and simplifying their wellness routine. Her expertise has been showcased in MSNBC’s Film Periodical and even on some of your favorite platforms like 21Ninety, xoNecole, Balanced Black Girl, The Every Girl and many more. From menarche to menopause, Berrion covers it all and is dedicated to helping women achieve optimal health in every phase.

We cover so much in this episode! Berrion breaks down the different phases of the menstrual cycle, what to eat and how to work during each phase, how we can begin normalizing the conversation around periods, and so much more!

How many times have you been ghosted by someone you were genuinely interested in? You thought everything was going great then BOOM they stop texting you back or answering your calls. And you're left wondering what went wrong. So you move on, you find other people and then all of a sudden they are back blowing up your inbox as if nothing happened. That probably annoys the crap out of you right? Then why are you doing that to your email list? Getting them all hyped up with what you'll have to offer then ghosting them for months only to pop in later to talk about your new shiny project. They are probably just as annoyed.

And yes I just compared dating to your email list because someone giving you their email these days is just as big as giving someone your phone number.

If you have ghosted the subscribers on your email list then today's episode is for you!

So all this month we're chatting about growing your email list. More specifically the ladies in our membership community, The LOE Collective are working to create a 5-day email challenge that they will use to grow their list and build trust with their audience. But there is an elephant in the room that we need to tackle first, what do you do if you haven't spoken to your list in months? If ever?

For one, its ok! We've all been there! But that doesn’t mean that you have to scrap your list and start over. Today I wanted to share a quick process for reviving a cold list!

For this episode we collaborated with noissue! noissue was founded to provide makers, brands and businesses of all sizes access to custom, sustainable packaging. Whether you’re looking for custom tissue paper like we include in our member welcome kits, custom stickers or even tape, noissue’s eco-friendly packaging allows you to provide your customers with an unboxing experience that isn’t tarnished by excessive amounts of non-recyclable plastic.
