Discussing Taylor Swift's Amazing Marketing Example with Kimber Casteel May 22, 2018

Show notes

Have you heard Taylor Swift's newest album? Even if you haven't heard it in full, i'm sure you've heard some of it through radio or Instagram, and at bare minimum I'm willing to bet you knew she had a new album out as of november. Something tells me that even if you don't follow her, you have heard about this album a some point in the past 6 months.

It got a lot of buzz. And there are a lot of reasons for that.

In this episode, I am chatting with Kimber Casteel of Kim Art Designs, a fellow embroidery artist and big-time T. Swift fan (Swifty.)

Whacky holidays to celebrate on social media

Unless you live under a very large boulder, you have most likely noticed over the past few years there has been a surge in the popularity of whacky holidays.

Both domestic and international holidays seem to be taking place every single day. Of course, some are more popular than others. It's no surprise these popular ones tend to be the ones with social media mass appeal. And that's what we are chatting about in today's episode!

Money Mindset with Laura Weldy May 10, 2018

Money Mindset

It was lovely to have this discussion with Laura Weldy of The Well Supported Woman for today's episode all about money mindset. I learned a lot and I think you will, too!

Before we got to recording the actual episode for you, Laura asked me what my own money mindset was like these days. I said I felt pretty secure in my money mindset - and that is true, for what I considered "money mindset." But in our discussion, I came to realize there was a lot more to this mindset than I had accounted for. It really got me thinking. This is a massive topic, so we of course were only able to skim the surface BUT, I hope this inspires you to think on it deeper for yourself or even begin discussions about it where you can!
