Powerhouse Women

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!

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. As Jennifer describes it, SPIN Literary is a one-stop-shop where a writer can go and know that they have a partner in the industry. I witnessed first-hand how important it is to have someone alongside you and support getting your story out there in an effective, authentic way. 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!
