It’s up to us to find time for our own pleasure. It’s a radical act to serve ourselves up some fun and enjoyment, rather than serve everyone else. Starting our mornings with pleasure will create a day that’s productive but also full joy, wonder, and gratitude for the life we’re living. Clear off your nightstand, lay out your workout clothes, adorn yourself with clothes that make you feel special, and breathe! And if all else fails, start the day with an orgasm - or two! - and get started on the right foot!!

A lot of us get it backward. We think: “When I have more clients I’ll be happy” or “When I launch my product I’ll be happy” or “When I make my projected income, I’ll be happy.” We think we have to wait to be successful to be happy. According to Shawn Achor, author of The Happiness Advantage, and many other positivity researchers, the opposite is the case. Be happy first and the success will follow. I have for sure found this to be the case in my own life. This week’s episode I’m sharing 5 tips on how to bring more happiness into your daily business life so you can welcome in the success you’re looking for with open arms: Choose a mantra (or in my case, many mantras), fuck the past, laugh (a lot), keep a gratitude diary, and read books by inspiring people (bonus points if they’re also funny!)

My podcast is about being the best boss of yourself to make the best life for you and your business. Speaking up, being heard, and asking for what you want is a huge part of my platform on self leadership. But today’s episode is about listening - how it is crucial to listen deeply to Black women, women of colour, and indigenous women in doing anti-racist work, so our world and communities can become more just, equitable, and safe for everyone. Listening and learning are important parts of being a great leader. In this episode you will learn: how to pass the mic, google your questions or pay people for their expertise, how to be anxious and do the work anyway, become aware of what voices you are hearing on a daily basis, stop tone policing, interview, hire, and buy from black, people of colour and indigenous businesses, and get prepared to be wrong. Listen up!!

There are so many benefits to hosting your own podcast. It helps you get clear on your messaging, elevate your voice and the voices of your guests, helps you inspire people, helps you reach people who don’t like reading blogs or watching video, and gets you comfortable making mistakes and moving forward. One of the most amazing benefits I’ve discovered is the many ways I can repurpose my podcast content into other content: social media posts, my blog, and even live video. All of us benefit from hearing messages repeated until we’re compelled to take action. In this episode, I walk you through my 8 step process for my podcast content creation. Thanks to my assistant Leeann Forbes and my podcasting team from S & S Podcasting with Shalinda Kirby and Natalie Suppes for helping me make this happen! www.instagram.com/sandspodcasting

The quote “Opportunity dances with those already on the dance floor,” by H. Jackson Brown, Jr. who wrote Life’s Little Instruction Book reminds us that to meet opportunity in our business we have to get up and get on the dance floor. However, many of us have excuses holding us back from shakin’ our groove thing: I don’t have anyone to dance with (Reach out and create a community) Last time I danced, I fell and skinned my knee (Success is filled with all sorts of failure and mistakes. Try again) Everyone will stare (Being seen and heard does risk judgment and criticism. Learning to deal with our feelings of rejection helps us keep showing up and being seen at the disco) It’s time to put you and your talents out there. Enjoy this episode encouraging you to take action, move your body, and stop letting excuses hold you back. See you on the dance floor!!

Living through the Covid 19 Pandemic has shown us all there are circumstances we can’t control right now. We’ve been challenged in so many ways: our daily lives, our social systems, our finances. Something that works for me is thought models: deliberately choosing the thoughts to think about my circumstances that will generate the feelings, actions, and results I get. Knowing what we can control in our lives is a great gift at this time. Learning how to think about circumstances we can’t control is a challenge, but it’s a necessary challenge - it’s the difference between staying stuck on the couch, or being motivated to keep moving forward. Dive into this episode on how to Be the Best Boss of Your Mind! It’s worth gold in your business and your life.
