Ep. #51 Becca Singer is an absolute GEM. She started her career in film development and production, but always had a love for fashion. Growing up in L.A. and New York City, she was inspired by the ability to express yourself through personal style. She draws upon inspiration from her mother at an early age and how styling herself was a passion from the beginning. Becca creates amazing styling guides online for celebrities, influencers and cool girl outfits for different events - “what you would wear to a *insert event here* if I was your stylist” or “Outfits Margot Robbie would wear if I were her stylist.” Every style guide is ON POINT. The way she captures each persons personality and each event so perfectly is truly an art. And she has NO formal training - she just has a natural gift. You HAVE to check them out - before she absolutely blows up. In this episode, we discuss: Starting a career in filmCreating a pickleball apparel lineCreating style guides online to becoming a full time stylistHow to build your personal styleFollowing trends - hot or not?Evolution of fashion trendsExpressing yourself through what you wearConsumerism - how to decide what to buy online and what to pass onBelieving in your dreams------------------------------If you enjoyed this podcast episode, it would mean the world if you please leave a rating and review! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐Where to find Becca:Becca’s IG: @styledbybeccasingerBecca’s TikTok: @styledbybeccasingerFollow along!

Ep. #50 Kassidy Owen is on the podcast today! She is the founder of Kassidy Lynn Social - a social media management company she started after leaving her PR job. Knowing she didn’t want to go back to working for someone else, Kassidy built her business by finding clarity in what she wanted for her life and knowing what she was good at - social media.Kassidy and I met at Dear Media IRL in Austin and really hit it off. She is one of those people who you meet and can just connect with so easily. She just announced the launch of her podcast “The Inbetween Podcast” - which is all about pursuing growth and being in the “in between” stages of anything in life - grief, career, a marathon, you name it. We chat about what it was like switching to running her own business, managing a team, tips for social media whether you’re a business or a content creator, finding clarity, pouring into your own cup to maximize your schedule and all about her new pod - which you should listen to when the first episode drops!

Ep. #44 Recently, I feel as though I cracked the code to building confidence in myself - through embarrassment! It’s really a similar notion to “feel the fear and do it anyways.” By getting outside of our comfort zone and looking for ways to do things that may feel embarrassing to us in the moment, there is usually confidence on the other side of it. How can we expect to grow when we are staying where we are comfortable? This week, I challenge you to write down what embarrasses you and why AND to do at least one thing that embarrasses you. From now until the end of the year, I will be challenging myself to be embarrassed more often!POP!

Ep. #42 Doing things alone is empowering. In this episode, I discuss my journey to loving myself more and being comfortable being alone.

Ep. #38 I’m finally telling the story of how my first business “failed.” I use quotes because I have learned that failure is only failure if you choose to let it hold you back. Failure is part of the process and only failure if you choose to not learn and grow from it. Career / job journey Losing passion in a jobTaking care of my mental health Developing a strict routineStarting an online community and launching a businessTaking a risk by moving statesQuitting my corporate job without a “backup plan”Going in and out of debtLearning to pivotGoing back to corporate This used to feel really weird and vulnerable for me. But now, it just feels like something that was a part of my journey. It helped me learn so much about myself and what I really want in life.

Ep. #35 In this episode, we reflect on how the year 2023 went with the theme of “embracing discomfort and leaning into uncertainty.” I also share my goals, ins and outs for 2024 and my theme for next year (which I personally think is a better way of staying accountable). I hope this offers you some inspiration. Thank you for listening this year! Can’t wait for what this next year has to bring.
