Today’s minisode we’re talking about creativity and how it can make your life better.

Creativity was a topic that came a lot throughout my interview with Eric Lee of Left Field Labs both in the workplace and in life.

I think most people either label themselves as “creative” or “not creative” but in reality, everyone is creative in their own individual way.

Creativity is one of the most important characteristics of being human. A creative mind can enrich your life, making life so much more interesting instead of going aimlessly throughout your days. Being creative doesn’t mean that you have to be an artist, maker, or creator of some sort…there are ways to be creative throughout your daily life and that’s what we’re going to cover in today’s minisode!

I share a personal example of how I’m trying to creatively approach a new way of thinking about how I spend my time and I’d love to hear your thoughts on creativity. Be sure to head on over to the Facebook group and join the conversation!

Today’s minisode we’re talking about building authentic relationships.

One thing that came up during this week’s interview with Elizabeth Laime was the importance of building relationships with people.

Of course, building relationships with people when you’re trying to break into the entertainment industry can be super valuable but EVERYONE can get value out of authentic relationship building.

As someone that specializes in offering public relations services, relationship building is so important and one thing I really pride myself on. I LOVE teaching people how to be better at building relationships and I also love learning about it too.

(P.S. If you want to learn how to cultivate authentic relationships with journalists, check out this free class I did with Day in the Life guest and freelance writer Alli Hoff Kosik.

So, during this week’s minisode, I share two tips on how you can be better at building authentic relationships.

Excited for you to tune in and hope you enjoy!

Hey hey happy minisode Friday! This week’s interview with Nicholas Collins was a fun one and one thing we talked about a lot was social media and the presence it plays in kids lives.

As someone that started their career in social media, I’ve always had a weird relationship with it. Like, part of me loves it and it’s brought me to some of my closest friends. It can definitely be used for inspiration and connection.

But the other part of me really struggles with it because I don’t want to feel constantly tied to my phone and to be honest, I like having part of my life private. I don’t want to share EVERYTHING about my life.

It’s hard for me to completely disconnect because it is very tied to my job, but at times I do have to completely step away.

In today’s minisode, I share reasons why we should ALL spend less time on social media and 3 tips on how you can limit your time.

Excited for you to tune in and hope you enjoy!

Today’s mini-sode we’re featuring a compilation of the best parts of people’s days!

One question I ask every guest on the Day in the Life podcast is “what is the best part of your day.” I think it’s a great question to ask because it’s a reminder that on most days, there is a highlight or something good or great happened. Of course, we all have bad days, but I like to try and focus on the positive even when your day is subpar.

This compilation features a variety of past Day in the Life guests and what their best parts of their days are.

I hope you enjoy!

Today’s mini-sode we’re talking about budgeting! I was not always a budgeter, that’s for sure. In fact, I really didn’t start budgeting until about 6 years ago, when I was 24 years old.

There are plenty of ways to budget: some people prefer using apps, others prefer using a specific spreadsheet.

One thing that I’ve learned as an adult is that it’s extremely important to plan ahead and budget. Budgeting is what allowed me to start my own business and get ahead at life.

In this episode, I share why budgeting is important and more importantly, how to get started!

Enjoy!

Today’s mini-sode we’re talking about those moments in your life where you want to give up.

We’ve all been there before. Everyone experiences the ups and downs of life and there are times that hit you harder and it can feel like the world is against you.

During this week’s interview, Sarah and I chat about moments when she wanted to give up on her non-profit, Kula Project and it got me thinking about moments throughout my life where I wanted to give up.

In this episode, I share 3 moments where I wanted to give up and 3 things to do when you feel like you want to give up.

I hope you’re able to learn a lesson from my own personal experiences and have this as inspiration the next time you feel like giving up. I’m there rooting for you!

As you may already know, my husband and I paid off all of our student loan debt in 2015. It was something that was important to us and while it was one of the hardest things we’ve done thus far in life, it was also one of the most rewarding.

In this episode, I share how we paid off our student loan debt and how you can get started if you want to pay off your student loans.

Hope you enjoy!

Today’s mini-sode we’re talking about how to take care of yourself. I’ve really struggled with this, especially after becoming an entrepreneur. After the news came out about Kate Spade and Anthony Bourdain’s suicides, I was in complete shock. The news really hit me hard in an unexpected way.

Mental health is something I care deeply about and I think should be spoken about more openly. Hence why I’m sharing my own experiences, thoughts, and advice on this mini-sode on how to take care of yourself.

This is something that I’m constantly balancing, so I’m no expert but if I can help one person out there I’ll consider this a job well done.

If you feel you are in crisis, please call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline. It is a free, 24-hour hotline, at 1.800.273.TALK (8255). Your call will be connected to the crisis center nearest to you.

Excited for you to tune in and hope you enjoy!
