I dish some of the ways I like to change my mindset to focus on the good and see opportunities - this includes how to visualize your goals, recognizing and accepting that ups comes with downs and vice versa and the Universal Energy Bank (courtesy of Becca Tobin from The Lady Gang).

Gen Nows, get your notebooks/iPads ready! This week I sit down with Laurie Anne Nilo - who runs the Post College Journey blog and aims to help recent college grads land their first job. She specializes in comms/marketing - but as we discuss in the episode, you kind of have to adapt the marketing perspective no matter what type of job you're applying to.

Episode 32: How to get your first job

Happy Thursday Gen Nows! This week I want to break out of the curated social media mold and let you know what's really been going on. Some sh*t has gone down this past week - from car troubles to realizing maybe my mind doesn't work like other people's. I always try to find a silver lining and pass that along to you, which I think I managed to do pretty well in this week's episode! I also did a mini Q&A at the end, so stick around to learn about why I started the podcast, what books I'm currently reading and my tips for setting personal boundaries.

Y'all - how did this even happen?! This week I sat down with Bailey Stanworth, founder of the digital marketing agency PLAY Digital and 1/2 of the What Day Is It? Podcast (aka one of my favourite podcasts). We chatted all things digital - including Bailey's thoughts on "saturation" in the social media space - as well as why she and her co-host Jacci started What Day Is It?

Y'all!

As I mention in the episode I've been following Emma and her brand - ESM Creative Studio - for a while now, and I'm such a fan of her designs.
