“One of the most shocking findings of my work was the idea that the most compassionate people I have interviewed over the last thirteen years were also, absolutely, the most boundaried.” — Brene Brown
At this point, you've probably heard how important it is to have boundaries — in your business, in your life, with clients, with family, with friends, etc.
The tough part is knowing where to start, what boundaries to put in place, and how to enforce them.

No way to sugarcoat it.
We consume a crap ton of content everyday.
The first few months of the year, I couldn't shake this idea that if I could just quiet some of the outside noise, I could maybe, just maybe, start showing up and sharing my truths in a more real, authentic, and powerful way.

If you've ever launched anything, I know you can relate.
It's the part of the roller coaster ride, right after you reach the peak.
You've just finished building your new offering (that dreamy course, service, or product).
You've been on an uphill climb, powering through, bringing that vision to life.
It's finally ready to be launched into the world...
And then you share it.
You send out a newsletter. You share it on on social media. And...

I’m a big believer in fate and live by the saying, “everything happens for a reason.” So I’m taking this hot mess of a week, turning it into some valuable lessons learned, and sharing the encouragement with you!
But First, Story Time
I took “the leap” and left my corporate job back in May of 201X. However, I transitioned right into part-time, seasonal work doing social media for a local small business.
Because the work was seasonal, I went through weeks and months where they needed a lot more help from me, so I’d be there all day, every day, which had me remembering what it’s like to b ein that hectic, pre-leap, side-hustle stage.
As you probably know from experience, it’s exhausting and mentally straining!

Today's goal: to give you some major aha moments!
At the beginning of this year, I headed to NOLA for 3-days to attend the Rising Tide Society Leaders Retreat. I was expecting to eat some beignets, meet some cool people, and come home feeling a little more inspired.
Welp. I came home a changed woman!
My head was spinning — and clearer at the same time — after learning from incredible speakers and selfless leaders.
So, naturally, I wanted to share everything I learned with you.
Since you don't have all day, I compiled my top 5 aha moments / lessons learned for you.

Do you know what the heart and soul of your brand is?
If not, that's okay. I can tell you right here, right now.
You are the heart and soul of your brand.
You are the piece of your brand that keeps people coming back. Your stories and personality are the reason people keep showing up to your Instagram lives and workshops. Your education and personal experiences are what make you stand out within your niche. You are the reason people hit that buy button.

"I would love to have business besties, but I don't have anything to collaborate on right now."
This message showed up in my inbox one day and got me thinking...
Is there a preconceived notion in our online business world that the only reason we need business besties is to collaborate on stuff?
Business besties serve such a greater purpose than a one time collaboration.
Yes, collaboration is one of the many benefits of having a business bestie, but it is so not the only reason.

As entrepreneurs, we have this problem I like to refer to as #allthethings.
You might also know it as shiny object syndrome…
Basically, we have all the ideas all the time, and it’s hard to stick with any original plan we create for our business. (Can I get an amen!?)

I'm a little resistant to change when it doesn't absolutely need to happen. I like to wait for a sign and know without a doubt that it's the right next move.
So months ago my husband started hinting that it was time to replace my car.
Then he slowly introduced the idea of test driving different vehicles.
Then the next thing you know, we were popping into a different car dealership each weekend. (He's a sly one, that smart husband of mine...)
So, how does our car search relate to branding?
