One of the most uncomfortable parts about personal growth are the ‘in-between’ seasons, when you’ve left behind the things that no longer serve you, but you haven’t quite stepped into the highest version of yourself. I’m personally in that space right now, so I want to share a few things I’m doing to surrender, support myself, and keep moving forward. I highlight some simple, yet effective ways to practice being okay with uncertainty and how to lean into the discomfort.     In this episode we talk about: Getting clear on the habits and patterns that aren’t in alignment with who you want to become  Consciously choosing to get out of your comfort zone  Taking action with the energy of anticipation and curiosity, not perfection  The unbelievable blessings waiting for you on the other side of this season    If you loved today’s episode, please share your favorite takeaways or your own systems and processes by screenshotting this episode and tagging us on Instagram!   Click HERE to text the word MENTOR to (602) 536-7829 for weekly business + mindset tips delivered straight to your phone!   Not part of the Girl Gang Community yet?

For the final episode of the Business of Community series, I want to break down one of the foundational elements of building community as part of your brand. I often get questions about strategy and action steps, but your personal growth journey is equally, if not more, important than having a gameplan.    You need to become the type of leader who naturally attracts the people who can really benefit from being in your community. In this episode, I explain the top three factors that have served me in the process of stepping into the best version of myself and how that journey supports the growth of Powerhouse Women.    In this episode we talk about: Why working on your personal development and leadership skills is crucial for the success of your community  How to build more trust in yourself  Exploring the deeper fears and limiting beliefs that drive your patterns  Dedicating time to learning and self-enrichment  My simple litmus test for deciding on where I invest in myself    If you loved today’s episode, please share your favorite takeaways or your own systems and processes by screenshotting this episode and tagging us on Instagram!   Click HERE to text the word COMMUNITY to (602) 536-7829 to get more information about Community Builders Mastermind!   Not part of the Girl Gang Community yet?

I recently sat down with Jennifer Smith, founder of SPIN Literary, to discuss what you need to know before diving into the writing process and how her agency is filling in the gaps in the publishing process.

It’s so encouraging to see women like Jennifer shaking up the status quo in publishing. Listen in to hear our conversation about all things writing, publishing, and community!   In this episode we talk about: How Jennifer overcame mindset challenges as she transitioned out of her corporate career What inspired Jennifer to launch SPIN Literary How social media and influencer culture has impacted the publishing industry  Why Jennifer recommends writing from a place of healing instead of hurt  Ways that SPIN Literary streamlines the writing, publishing, and marketing process  The amazing impact of having somebody who can be that extra voice of reason and accountability as you're navigating through new territory    If you loved today’s episode, please share your favorite takeaways or your own systems and processes by screenshotting this episode and tagging us on Instagram!   Click HERE to text the word COMMUNITY to (602) 536-7829 to be the first to know when the Community Builders Mastermind link is live and get an exclusive discount!    Not part of the Girl Gang Community yet?
