Comparison is the thief of joy. Here’s why you should stop comparing yourself to others and focus on your own journey. 

👉 Share this with someone who needs this reminder!  

We all have our unique paths. It’s easy to look at others and feel like we’re falling behind, but remember: you don't see the full picture of their journey.  

Every business owner, mom, or hobbyist started somewhere. Just like them, you’re in a process of growth.  

I’ve been there—feeling like I wasn’t enough, watching others soar while I struggled with crickets on my posts. But every step counts.  

Instead of comparing, focus on your progress. Ask yourself: what’s one small thing I can improve today?  

Comparison can lead to quitting, but I’m here to keep pushing forward until I reach my goals.  

Remember: you’re not alone in this journey. Let’s celebrate our unique paths!  

Still figuring it out? You’re not alone.

In today's episode, I'm popping off about a topic that is near and dear to my heart. And that is: stop doom scrolling and start creating. You never know what can happen and creating content is the BEST thing you can do for your personal brand and/or business. It supercharges the know, like & trust factor and the sky is truly the limit. So next time you are sitting there doom scrolling, think of me popping off in this episode.

In today's episode I'm spilling all of the good on how to start, grow and scale your personal brand and business on LinkedIn. LinkedIn is what Facebook and IG used to be 20 years ago. You don't have to dance on the internet or keep up with trends. Heck, you don't even have to have a hook to get people paying attention and engaged. And the crazy thing is, only 3% of people post content on LinkedIn. And do you know what that means for YOU? Hardly any competition. And you can grow and scale organically without spending money on ads or boosting posts. The visibility is insanely high on the platform. And I'm here to help YOU grow! 

Supercharge your learning curve on mastering LinkedIn with Level Up Your LinkedIn . I teach the exact formula to start, grow and scale organically on the platform. There is even content examples that you can plug and play into your own niche!

Ever felt lost in your health journey? Here’s how I turned my setbacks into a thriving routine!  

After a serious injury, I realized how crucial health is. It’s not just about working out; it's about optimizing every part of life.  

This year, I scaled back my heavy lifting and embraced Pilates. It’s been a game changer! Focusing on flexibility and small muscles has made a big difference. Plus, we’ve found a great studio that motivates me!  

Daily walks with my dogs keep me moving, and I’m committed to hitting 10,000 steps. Nutrition-wise, I swapped to high-protein Greek yogurt for breakfast and added electrolyte powders to stay balanced.  

Meal prepping grilled chicken salads for lunch has simplified my week, and establishing a consistent bedtime helps me wake up energized.  

Remember, it’s about balance. I stick to 80% clean eating and 20% flexibility for those treats we love.

Have you ever felt stuck? Either professionally or personally? Yeah, I have too. And today's episode I'm here to be your hype girl when it comes to making the pivot. As someone who has made lots of pivots, it's normal to feel the urge to do something else when maybe you've been in a career or been doing the same thing at home for a long period of time. And when we think about making our next move, it always seems so scary. If any of this resonates with you, you are not alone! 

takeaways

• Start taking action even if you don't have all the skills.
• Embrace the messy process of learning and growth.
• Focus on serving your audience and staying true to your values.
• Comparison is the thief of joy; focus on your journey.
• You are capable of more than you think.

In this conversation, Melanie Borden  and I discuss the evolution of personal branding, particularly through LinkedIn, and the importance of visibility in today's digital landscape. Melanie shares her journey of building her brand, overcoming fears, and the significance of influence and virality in content creation. They explore strategies for effective content, the balance between personal and private sharing, and the mindset needed to combat imposter syndrome. The discussion emphasizes the need for authenticity and connection in a world increasingly dominated by AI and algorithms.

takeaways

• You have a personal brand whether you realize it or not.
• LinkedIn is the new water cooler for professionals.
• Fear often holds people back from visibility.
• 3% of LinkedIn users post content, indicating vast opportunity.
• Virality does not always equate to revenue.
• Growth, impact, strategy, and trust are key components of personal branding.
• A successful content strategy includes educational, personal, promotional, and user-generated content.
• Personal stories resonate more than purely professional content.
• It's important to disconnect from digital platforms to foster creativity.
• Remind yourself of your accomplishments to combat imposter syndrome.

In today's episode, I pop off about best practices when it comes to recruiting. I  share my extensive experience in headhunting, discussing the challenges and strategies involved in finding top talent. I reflect on my journey from a novice recruiter during the recession to successfully placing high-level executives. We talk about the importance of emotional intelligence, candidate energy, and professionalism in the recruitment process, while also critiquing popular recruiting platforms.

takeaways

• I transitioned from fundraising to headhunting during the recession.
• The recruitment industry is worth 200 billion dollars due to its challenges.
• Traditional platforms like Indeed are often ineffective for finding quality candidates.
• Paying attention to a candidate's energy can indicate their suitability.

• The follow-up process must be handled delicately to avoid appearing desperate.
• TOP TALENT has HIGH EQ
• Temporary staffing solutions can be beneficial during economic downturns.
• Crafting intentional messages to candidates increases response rates.

Friends, this is has been a HUGE takeaway in this season of life and my main message today is as my husband Gary would say, "giving is winning". And what I mean by that is that we always have to give before we take. No matter if that's giving time, engagement or just being a genuine supporter. What comes back is always in 10 fold. Plus it always feels better to give, rather than to take.

In today's solo shorty, I'm dropping the truth bomb that everyone needs to hear. If you decide to start that business or start that podcast, only take advice from people who have done whatever it is that you want to do.

One hot topic that I've been talking about recently is: Energy. The moment you become self aware of your energy and how people experience you as a professional, that's when the game changes. And it all comes back to being self aware. Is you energy attracting the right opportunities, clients and collaborations or is it repelling them? We have 3 currencies in life: time, energy & money. Allocate accordingly.
