Goal setting is a well versed topic in the entrepreneurship space, but as a creative, do you ever feel like it's so restrictive? I do too, and that's why I actually hate goals, and don't worry about setting specific, ridiculously detailed goals and deadlines. Instead, I focus on something else and that's what this episode is all about. We're diving into what you should try instead of setting goals, how goal setting might actually be impacting your life in a negative way, and a little encouragement to remind you that your work and your purpose is so much deeper than those imaginary deadlines.

Another solo episode coming at you, and for this one Diana is riffing a little on something she dives deeper into the strategic side of in Suite 🍭. We're chatting about the concept of being initiated in business, what those transitions currently look like for Diana and her product suite, and what it means for you as you try to find the best ways to show up in alignment in your business and serve your clients' needs. This episode is all about appreciating those transitions, empowering you to take the wheel and create your own path for what you offer, and how all of this actually allows you to serve your clients even more fully while avoiding the burnout that comes with copying someone else's business blueprint.

So many of you have had questions about running retreats, so this is a special episode with a friend that I believe is such an expert when it comes to retreats and building a community. My friend Amber Hagberg is a retreat coach and a master at selling out retreats without having to constantly stress or burn out on marketing and promoting them. For this episode, we're going to chat about what's really important when hosting a retreat, how to create retreats that make a big impact so you can sell those spots out every time, and how both organic marketing and paid ads have played a part in selling out Amber's retreats and how to know what option is right for you. This episode is so full of goodness, so if you host or want to host a retreat, tune in to this one!

Since you’re the face of your brand as a solopreneur, you have to connect with your people on a different level. People buy from people, so we have to balance being a human and sharing our own personal story and experiences with the brand side of things. For today’s episode we’re going to be talking about your brand, and how you can treat it like a magazine. This analogy creates so much space for you to play and infuse the human side of your brand, but it also helps you set the guidelines of what you want the vibe of your brand to be. This will help you with creating offers, creating content, deciding what to share with your people, and choosing how you want to show up in your business and online.

This episode is a long time coming! Alexandra Smith, my friend and my OBM (Online Business Manager) is joining us on the show. I've worked with Alexandra for a few years now and not only is she great at being the integrator in my business so I can focus on being the creative visionary, but she also has an incredible story of resilience, determination, and manifesting what you want in life. She's sharing some of her powerful story, but we're also talking about what the process of working together looks like, some things you need to know before you hire an OBM or VA (virtual assistant), and her thoughts on the importance of systems and how to know what to use. This is a packed episode, so be prepared to be both inspired and ready to make your next hire!

Get ready for a real, very in-the-moment episode! If you've been around here for a minute you've heard me mention my new community, Recess. It's such an incredible space, but creating it had its challenges too. For this episode, I'm doing a sort of part 2 to Episode 17 where I talked about some advice for building your own community. I want to share a little insight into the power behind community, the journey of creating Recess, and some of the challenges that come up when you're building and leading a community. If building your own space is something you've been thinking about, then you definitely need to hear this episode first!
