296 | How a Contract and Non-Compete Took Away Hayley Paige’s Entire Brand and Name Oct 10, 2024

When the brand you've spent your whole career building gets taken away from you, what can you possibly do to find success again? You probably know the name Hayley Paige, but did you know there was a time recently where she couldn't use it professionally (or even design wedding dresses anymore)? Due to a contract and non-compete that she signed when she started her career, she lost everything (temporarily, thanks to a legal battle).

Now, with the right to officially use her legal name, Hayley is using her voice to fight non-competes and protect creators through her non-profit. In today's episode, she joins us to share her story, why it's important to know your rights and fight for them, along with what she did to stay resilient during her legal battle.

270 | Three Tips for Your Content Creation Process Jul 11, 2024

Sometimes, life aligns perfectly, where something or someone comes into your life at just the right moment. During my recent a season of overwhelm and exhaustion, an in-person retreat was just what I needed. Connecting in person was so refreshing.

It’s fascinating to see how different content creators operate. Whether it’s making a YouTube video, designing an Instagram reel, or editing a blog post, watching others’ processes is always inspiring and sometimes calming. To extend to this inspiration, I wanted to share three essential steps in my content creation process, inspired by what I learned at the retreat.
