Lisa introduces the practice of journaling as another effective tool for detaching from negative energy.

By identifying the people, activities, and experiences that bring joy or negativity, listeners can gain clarity and detach from negative influences.

Lisa urges listeners to set boundaries in their personal and professional lives. She emphasizes that setting boundaries is not about cutting people out of your life, but rather about prioritizing self-care and creating a positive environment. Lisa advises listeners to take time for themselves and establish healthy boundaries with family members and other close relationships.

Question: Why is Lisa's left brain taking a break?

Answer: Because my right brain has been on 90% “on hold” since I was 21 years old

The theory is that people are either left-brained or right-brained, meaning that one side of their brain is dominant. If you’re mostly analytical and methodical in your thinking, you’re said to be left-brained. If you tend to be more creative or artistic, you’re thought to be right-brained.

This theory is based on the fact that the brain’s two hemispheres function differently. This first came to light in the 1960s, thanks to the research of psychobiologist and Nobel Prize winner Roger W. Sperry.

The left brain is more verbal, analytical, and orderly than the right brain. It’s sometimes called the digital brain. It’s better at things like reading, writing, and computations.

According to Sperry’s dated research, the left brain is also connected to:

• logic
• sequencing
• linear thinking
• mathematics
• facts
• thinking in words

The right brain is more visual and intuitive. It’s sometimes referred to as the analog brain. It has a more creative and less organized way of thinking.

Sperry’s dated research suggests the right brain is also connected to:

• imagination
• holistic thinking
• intuition
• arts
• rhythm
• nonverbal cues
• feelings visualization
• daydreaming

What does your 2022 plan look like? Do you even have a written plan?

Whether you are a personal or business brand, we all need a plan.

This ‘plan’ is specifically designed for not just the year - it is your plan for each month, week, day, and hour.

It needs to be in writing.

A plan is on a real piece of paper, using a pen or pencil, one that you love.

The paper is part of a notebook you open up each day and write in like it’s your job (because it is).

There is an art and science of keeping a notebook, journal, planner. In this episode, I talk about my method to my madness of keeping a daily notebook, my past year in review, and how I am planning for 2022.

What does your planner look like? Is it digital or physical?

• Why a planner?
• Extra encouragement
• Can’t rely on digital
• Pens
• Improve daily habits and success
• Accountability

Getting it done is always better than getting it perfect

Invest in good tools that can save your time and money

• Every sheet is a new day - it’s like a diary
• It makes me feel accomplished
• It helps me remember
• Writing things down helps
• I add goals and notes
• I use colored pens

It’s a mix of personal and business

I have to leaf through pages to find things

• Disruptor’s Planner
• Notebooks
• Journals
• Notes in Notes

• Lined
• Dots
• Blank pages
• Spiral
• Bound
• I like my journal spiral to lay flat
• Before The Disruptor’s Planner, I loved the Ban.do journals

Try to not get overwhelmed by even the simplest of tasks, don't force yourself to do it any way but ask yourself what's the root cause so you can address the elephant in the room.

• I am exactly where I am supposed to be
• Feeling so thankful

• Don’t want to write something and mess it up
• Need to just do it
• If you write it down you might actually make it happen - you are afraid of success - this is called self-sabotage.

Well as I recorded this episode I am quarantined with my husband and daughter in Jupiter, Fl - things did not quite turn out like we thought this week - just like 2021.

In survival mode, raw and a little shaken and stirred.

All ready to move forward - then sideways, then backward, we had blinders on (at least some of), then we had our head in the sand (or some of us), then we wanted to rip our masks off (most of us), we wanted to travel (I think all of us), to hug, and then we all seemed to suffer burnout and fatigue.

Here’s a recap of the most popular Social PR Secrets in 2021 according to analytics and the ones YOU liked the best and then I added a few of my favorites to prepare you for 2022.

Megan Foster says you can pitch to any type of writer or editor, no matter how influential. She used to receive over 200 pitches a day. How do you make your pitch stand out? Here are Megan’s top tips.

The header of your pitch email should grab the editor or writer’s attention. Words like best, new, trendy hold no meaning. Instead, be specific or use numbers.

Images of the product will tell the editor what you’re about right away. It also gives them a better understanding of their audience’s reaction to ie, explains Megan.

All the important information in your pitch needs to be at the top.

If an editor picks your product, they’ll appreciate having details already researched for them.

Yes, really. Don’t forget to remove [Insert Editor’s Name Here].

It’s essential to tell the writer you have read their articles. But don’t pitch something they’ve already written about!

These are all crucial tips, and this episode contains way more. You don’t want to miss it from pitching CBD products to upcoming social media trends and Megan’s take on influencer culture!

“When you’re pitching editors, make sure there’s a story component.” – Megan Foster. i.e.

While almost all companies are willing to splurge on advertising, few understand that digital PR is another central element of a successful business. However, for digital PR to work, brands need more than money. They need to understand the process takes time; they should communicate and cooperate with their agency and keep their expectations realistic.

Once you’ve understood that, digital PR will surprise you in more ways than one. Unlike advertising, PR positively affects every part of the funnel. And unlike advertising, PR offers sustained rewards over time. In short, PR gives brands what they can’t buy in ads. This includes:

• Thought leadership
• Credibility
• Third-party endorsements
• Community
• Relationships
• Impact
• Low budget/no budget is needed.

Myth #1. PR is only measured in numbers

Myth #2. Only big companies do social listening

Myth #3. The best PR pros live in LA and New York

Brands should keep in mind they’re looking for talent, not location. The best professionals can now be found all over the country – and the world!
