Just the Tip Tuesday, and this week the tip is actually a thing I built. I added weekly business horoscopes to my website. Not the "Scorpio, watch your finances" kind. The actual, here's what this week's astrology means for your business decisions, your marketing timing, and your energy kind. Every week, broken down by what matters for solopreneurs and small business owners. Practical. Grounded. Zero crystal-shop vibes. If you've ever wondered whether there's a better week to launch...

Prefer to listen to this email? JUST CLICK HERE. About three weeks ago I started doing 10 squats every hour on the hour. Not because I suddenly became a fitness person. (I have not suddenly become a fitness person.) But because I read something about how sitting for long stretches is quietly terrible for you and I thought, "okay. Ten squats. I can do ten squats." That's approximately 40 seconds of my life per hour. Even I can manage that. So I set a timer. And then I ignored the timer for...

It started with a rabbit hole. I was doing what I do at 11pm when I should be sleeping (scrolling my phone, one eye open) and I landed on an article about crows. Apparently they're one of the smartest animals on the planet. (Like, unsettlingly smart. Problem-solving, holding grudges, recognizing faces smart.) And they love shiny objects. I don't know why I felt personally called by this information. But I did. So the next morning I grabbed a handful of Hamish and Angus's kibble, dropped in a...

I've officially added The Messy Middle Private Podcast and The Astro Weather to The Cosmic Compass App. "Wait!, what's the cosmic compass app?", you ask. Great question! The Cosmic Compass...

The elementary school gym seemed much larger than normal. Then again we had only been in the gym when it was full for P.E. class or the occasional school assembly. Now with just the 6 of us, we had the whole large room to ourselves. It was 12 year old me and 4 younger girls from the neighborhood. Plus 1 mandatory adult for supervision. (a.k.a. my Mom). We had gathered to practice our "dance routines". I was the choreographer and charged $3.00 a month per student for this "Dance Summer Camp."...

Hey Reader Quick Question. Have you ever realized you’ve become “less active” only because your body started filing formal complaints? Yeah. Same. In the latest podcast episode, I talk about why motivation is total BS (yep, I said it) and how a tiny shift in perspective made everything feel easier. Here’s the gist: 30 minutes of movement, 5 days a week = 10 hours a month = 5 days a YEAR. Five! Out of 365. And when you apply the same math to entrepreneurship? One hour a day, 5 days a week = 10...

Let me just say it: If I had a dollar for every time a bro-marketing guru barked, “Consistency is KING,” I’d have… well, enough to hire someone else to pretend to be consistent for me. Here’s a true story from literally last night: I had blocked off time to record my podcast. Mic out. Notes ready. Headphones on. Vibes: Awesome Radio Host! But then I made the mistake of sitting down on the couch for “just a second.” (If you’ve ever told yourself this lie, I see you.) Two hours later, I was...

My hands were shaky as I tried to keep hold of the phone. "Are you still there?", said my friend Julia. "yeah.... I'm still here.", I said trying to not show the shock in my voice from the news. "I'm going to get off the phone, now. I have to go to work.", I said almost surprising myself, with the abruptness. I hung up the phone and took a deep breath. I had just discovered that one of my best friends had O.D'ed just the night before. This was a shock to many that were close to him. He had...
