I talk with Christine Blubaugh, a Sales Copyrighter, in this episode about how you can inject story into your own copy and content and start getting that traction you've been dreaming of.

Cristin is an Alchemist, ENFJ, and bookworm. Mama to a tiny toddler mischief maker and pet menagerie, she holds down the fort in NYC.

Mamas spend their days taking care of everyone but themselves. This is especially Y for entrepreneurial moms who have to juggle a business on top of all their other #momming duties. In this episode I talk with Julie Sanford, creator of Well Fed Families, who will give us some great tips for looking after ourselves, without feeling like it's just another chore on our to-do list. Julie's Bio Hey! I'm Julie Sanford. Entrepreneur, blogger, mom, wife...you know...doer of ALL THE THINGS. I started my business Well Fed Families almost three and a half years ago. My focus is helping busy, stressed out mamas get on a healthier track. Moms (ESPECIALLY entrpreneurial moms who are burning the candle at both ends) tend to let taking care of themselves fall to the wayside. It's usually the first thing we let go actually, when it should be the LAST. My mission is to help these mamas pull themselves up by their bootstraps, and get some nutrients in their face, for eff's sake! That then leads to improved focus, mood, and energy which boosts their badassery in their business and their life.
