Earn Your Happy

Chris and I were coaching separate groups recently, and when we came together to talk about how the sessions went, we realized a lot of entrepreneurs are facing four similar challenges. We’ve noticed that many business owners are up against an audience problem, they’re not providing value to their audience, their content is stale, or they’re comparing their chapter one effort to someone else’s chapter nine results. It’s so powerful to hear the truth and bring some self awareness around what’s really holding you back, and we hope that this conversation can shine a light on how you can reach your true potential.  IN THIS EPISODE, WE TALK ABOUT: Growing your audience in accordance with the size of your goals Examples of how we add value to our audience before we ask them for anything in return What we notice about our social media numbers when we put out original, fun content  Our perspective on healthy comparison  The number one move that helps jumpstart your growth   RESOURCES Want to learn the truth about how to get your online business off the ground?

Jenna’s book is a guided journey through asking yourself how you really are, who you really are, and what kind of life you really want. Jenna and I discuss how to become more aligned with your true purpose, understand who you are as you’re developing, and show up as your whole self in everything that you do.  I’ve always admired how fierce Jenna is with her boundaries and how she protects her peace in such a loving way. We dive into how she copes with people pushing back on her limits and she shares her incredible template that has allowed her to say ‘no’ in a kind, gracious way. We talk about the concept of having a ‘Year of Yes’ and Jenna offers up a unique and inspiring spin on the idea.

One of the most common questions that I get from listeners who are trying to build their platform is how to become valuable enough so that people with more influence actually want to return the favor or collaborate. I’m not going to lie, it requires you going the extra mile and finding creative ways to stand out from the crowd, but I promise that the time and energy you put in will pay off. There are three main things that people want when they’re looking for an equal energy exchange, and in today’s episode, I break down what those are, plus a couple of bonus ones. I also share my top tips for how to approach communication with people you want to collab with and some of my personal experiences with getting on someone’s radar.  IN THIS EPISODE, WE TALK ABOUT: Why you shouldn’t take it personally if you don’t get the response you want from someone you want to connect with  Understanding perceived value  What it means to value stack, and how you can implement that into your life  My advice for posting Reels and TikToks Examples of experiences, education, and things that you can offer to someone   RESOURCES Thanks a Little Passports for supporting my show.

What do you feel like is totally out of reach for you, and why? Maybe it’s hosting an event, launching a product, or adding on another service to your line up, but regardless of what arena you’re in, my number one piece of advice is to start small and scale from there. Lauren and I share examples of what it looks like to fine tune your idea and make it small enough so that you can get it off the ground. We discuss the importance of tapping into your message, audience, and marketing, and finding a through line that lets you show up as your authentic self in everything that you do. Plus, we recap what’s been going on with Lite Pink and our lives outside of work recently!  IN THIS EPISODE, WE TALK ABOUT: Different avenues to reach your goals without taking huge risks  How to get people interested in your idea  Why we love collaborating with other people and small, local businesses  What a white-label product is and why you should look into it if want to get into the products-based business space  The three most important questions to ask yourself before you launch your business   RESOURCES Sign up for The Spritz newsletter at litepink.com!

The human experience, especially as an entrepreneur, can feel like a never-ending roller coaster. I recently had a day where I was feeling super low and in my head about the direction of my life, but I was able to snap out of it by talking to our new neighbors and sharing my business experience. Chris and I have realized that we’re happiest when we’re living our purpose, which for us means building something, working hard, and creating meaningful experiences with people that we love. By getting out of my own world and helping uplift someone else, I inevitably feel better and start climbing to the top again.  IN THIS EPISODE, WE TALK ABOUT: Learning how to integrate more enjoyment along with work What it feels like when we spiral and we’re in this temporary false reality  The immediate mood shift that happens when you’re of service to someone else Details about the launch of our new course    RESOURCES Text BULLETPROOF to 310-421-0416 to take advantage of Early Access VIP pricing of our new course!  Sign up for The Spritz newsletter at litepink.com!

Fear is the number one reason why people don’t take the first step to pursue their calling. For some, it's fear of failure or being judged, and for others, it looks like perfectionism or imposter syndrome. The list could go on forever, but the truth is, the things that you think are going to break you are the same things that are going to make you. Challenges come up to test our strength and dedication to our dream, and what you do in those moments reveal you who you really are. There’s so much knowledge, joy, and success on the other side of those hard times, but are you willing to put in the work to make it there? I share how I handled a couple of mindset challenges that came at me this week and ways to reframe your perspective about hardship and pain.  IN THIS EPISODE, WE TALK ABOUT: How fear shows up in fancy disguises  Practicing showing up as the person that you want to be  How my relationship with challenge and pain has changed  Extracting lessons and silver linings from hard situations   RESOURCES Sign up for The Spritz newsletter at litepink.com!

We’ve finally had some time to really reflect about our vacation to the Amalfi Coast and want to share some of our biggest takeaways from the trip. Our friend Rob Murgatroyd curated so many beautiful experiences as part of his Work Hard Play Hard Mastermind and we were able to really soak up the Italian culture, art, food, and fashion. We talk about getting clarity on how we’re going to balance the joy and production containers of our lives, and our commitment to making time for new, enriching experiences in our week.  We learned about the Italian saying “Dolce Far Niente,” which means the sweetness of doing nothing, observing beauty, and enjoying life in the moment. Chris and I want to take time to be more present in our everyday lives and worry less about things that we don’t have control over. This trip proved to us that a vacation doesn't have to be just a moment in time一we can extend this sense of peace and wonder into our everyday lives.  IN THIS EPISODE, WE TALK ABOUT: Examples of how Italians value both form and function, and beauty for beauty’s sake  Why we’re cutting off work at 1PM on Fridays for the next few months  Applying deeper meaning to our beautiful life together and taking away the power that stress has  Finding magic in connection and conversation when business isn’t the main topic  The benefits of getting out of your environment and day-to-day comfort zone   RESOURCES Blue Mind by Wallace J.
