Have you noticed there are some days and weeks of the months where you're more focused on your business than others?

Some days where content creation comes naturally and some weeks where you'd rather live in a cave for the rest of your life than show up on video but, you can fire out emails like it's an Olympic sport?

That's not a fluke, it's likely your menstrual cycle at work!

I crack this subject wide open in todays old but gold episode with Renae Fieck. Let's get you working alongside your menstrual cycle instead of against it.

Most small business owners measure social media success by vanity metrics like views but what if you're actually missing the point?

In this episode, I flip the script, revealing why views are a misleading benchmark and how setting your own, purpose-driven standards can transform your social media, business results and mindset.

I dive deep into the mechanics behind Instagram metrics, explaining why views can be inflated and misleading and why they definitely shouldn't determine your worth.
