Every journey is filled with failure, let's share the lessons learned from them.

I'm back after 8 weeks away!  I've been on an entire content creation break.  No podcasts, no newsletter, less social media and a lot of time to rest, think, cry and reassess. The clarity that has come from resting is pretty astounding.  I break it all down in this week's episode.

Let me know your thoughts on twitter, Have you ever taken a break and done nothing?

Let's face it, having a traditional job is easier. You just need to show up, do your job and go home. I miss that feeling. I've been feeling like I can't keep my head above water for the last few months drowning under the weight of having to do it all.  When I was asked last week about whether or not I miss corporate, naturally my honest answer is at least once a week.

Do you miss the ease of not having to do it all?  Share your thoughts on the Twitter thread

Giving too much can be a bad thing.  Just like we can't be happy go lucky all the time, you can't just give away all your time.  I've fallen into a rut where I use generosity as a procrastination technique to avoid going all in on myself and my goals.  This week I'm sharing the one and only thing I am doing to break this habit.

A very special episode this week as I sit down and chat with my husband Brooks. A background in business, a corporate career and my number one supporter on this journey in every way possible.  He opens up about what he's watched unfold from the sidelines, his thoughts on entrepreneurship, the creator economy, and of course, my fails thus far.

This week I'm sharing more about what I've been going through over the last few months and what's next for me.  I am taking a pivot (enter Ross Friends scene here), but it's a pivot back to what I initially thought I was going to do.  Fractional COO for soloprenuers.  I want to thank Ali and Lisa for supporting me on Buy Me A Coffee.
