There are so many things to do when you run a small business. And even more things you “should” do according to marketing “experts,” online business influencers, and the voices that arrive when you need to make a big decision.
In this episode, I’m joined by Natalie Miller to talk about the “shoulds” that so many of us face in our lives and our businesses. And we offer practices for taking your “shoulds” seriously, so you can cultivate the magic you need to finally release them.
Join us for a soulful conversation where we explore—
- The "should" that inspired this podcast
- Practices for discovering & examining your shoulds
- Why “best practices” might be bullshit
- How pausing & slowing down can help you discover who you are & what you desire
- Betting on yourself to build self-trust

😶🌫️ Social Media Is Not Neutral — aka the Threads episode
While I was off on summer break a big thing happened in the social media world — Meta launched Threads! And everybody had some feelings about it.
So in this episode, I’m sharing my answer to the question, “Should you be on Threads?” And I’m reminding us that while we don’t need to judge who is or isn’t on an app, our choices can reflect our values in meaningful and powerful ways.
Tune in for a gently-no-nonsense pep talk in our signature Off the Grid style.

This episode goes out to anyone who’s ever found yourself sucked into a marketing funnel, watching yet another free webinar, desperately trying to unsubscribe from the dozen follow-up emails, and finally getting free just to find your head spinning from everything you “should” be doing to grow your business.
I’ve started thinking of this as the “insta-bae business phenomenon” AKA the way online biz influencers sell quick fixes, ten-step solutions, and easy results with pretty promises and even prettier graphics.
So in today’s episode, I’m unpacking what I think an “insta-bae business” is and the three insta-bae business traps I see too many small business owners fall prey to.
Join me to learn how to...
- Stop believing you need a certain number of followers to sell things 💯
- Quit measuring your success by vanity metrics 📈
- Start pricing based on your value NOT your follower count 💲
