Do you struggle to take care of yourself?Do you find difficulty creating boundaries?Do you know in your gut that there is something more for you IN ADDITION to being a mom?Bringing women together who have these same thoughts and feelings are what drove Emily Jacobs to begin her community Empowered Moms. Emily Jacobs is a wife, mother, author, speaker, and doctorate-prepared leadership coach who is on a mission to up-level motherhood, leadership, and life! She created Empowered Moms which is a place where we raise the bars for mothers who know they are worthy of more to overcome fear and guilt, pursue big dreams and live a life they love beyond motherhood. Her book, Live Your Life for You (Not Your Mom) was on her heart to write for 7 years before it came to life shortly after her own mother passed away, and Emily makes a profound point that this is not a mom bashing book - this is a book for the daughters. This is a book built upon her story of overcoming perfectionist tendencies and stepping into the boundaries of what it looked like to life a life for herself, not just her mother.  If you want more information on the membership community Emily is building more moms (of which I am a part of!) you can connect with her via email at emily@dremilyjacobs.com or check her link in bio or DMs on her InstagramLove what you heard?

The first male guest on the podcast!Marcus Harris, a native of Sandusky, Ohio, is the Diversity and Economic Opportunity Manager for the City of Sandusky. In September of 2021 Marcus made the decision to bring his talents and skills to the City of Sandusky's team.

JOIN the one and only personal and development community you will ever need to be a part of Confetti Worthy Women - send me a DM on IG once you're in so I can celebrate you!!Some of my takeaways from EmpowerHER LIVE! 2022EmpowerHER LIVE is a personal development conference that took place in Phoenix Arizona on Oct. 21 - 23 hosted by speaker, podcaster and community builder Kacia Ghetmiri. One of the keynote speakers at the event is one of the greatest motivational speakers of our time and is a personal MAJOR inspiration to my life, Trent Shelton. For those who aren't familiar Trent was released from the NFL and then found his path through the creation of an organization called Rehab Time. Some of my favorite takeaways from Trent were:Stop bringing your vision to people who aren't visionaries. Sometimes when your circle get's smaller your vision will get clearer. - Trent SheltonOur surprise speaker at the event was the one + only Jamie Kern Lima. For those who aren't familiar Jamie sold IT cosmetics, her problem-solving make-up line of 300 products, to L'Oreal for $1.2 billion in cash in 2016. At that time she stayed on as CEO and later she stepped down from day-to-day operations in 2019. Some of my favorite takeaways from Jamie were:Your gut is more powerful than anyone else's opinions. Let your knowing be more powerful than the NO. One additional quote, takeaway that's mentioned in the episode by enneagram expert Tracy O'MalleyCreate that moment when the black sheet becomes the GOAT.

I am excited about this episode for many reasons...1. if you are listening in real time, today, 10/4/22 is my 33rd birthday.2. It's my first episode back after an unexpected 6 weeks off3. I've gaining MAJOR clarity in my entrepreneurial journeyI've been struggling for about 6-8 weeks now with weather or not I want to tweak the direction that I am heading in with my business, not because it's not working. IT IS and that's one of the hard parts. But because I am learning more about myself, who I am and what I want. On a zoom call with some like-minded women whom I met in Empower one of my friends suggested I read the book You Turn and between reading that book and being involved in another group coaching program called the AEP during the month of Sept. I've done a lot of reflecting and forwarding thinking. Just because something isn't working doesn't mean you quit AND just because something is working and or making you money doesn't mean you have to keep doing it!!!

The EntrepreneuHER podcast is now Confetti Worthy Women because it's even more aligned with my brand and business! The podcast, itself, won't change. I'll still be sharing stories about women in the entrepreneurial space, as well as pulling back the curtain on my own entrepreneurial journey. We, as confetti worthy women, are in this together on a shared mission to create a life and career worth celebrating!In today's episode, I chat about how I've graduated from an incredible program called Empower, which I've mentioned before on the podcast. Jess Glazer, the creator of Empower, asked us to share all of our wins--financial and personal—that have happened throughout Empower. As proud as I am about my financial wins, I think the personal win of never ever giving up on life and myself and my family and my dreams, despite some really dark days with my mental health, is my greatest accomplishment. At the end of the day, we never ever know what's going on behind closed doors. I am so proud of myself— and you should be proud of yourself too— for taking that step back to take care of you so that you can take an even bigger step forward into a better and brighter future. ***Get on the WAITLIST for the personal & professional development membership communityFollow along and connect with me on IG Follow my business mentor, Jess, who is mentioned in this episode

Today's interview is with Allie and Charlie who are sisters and the co-founders of Financial Intentions. After Allie helped Charlie learn to manage her money, they both realized that this is a skillset that everyone should know. Charlie is now debt free and on-track to retire early. And Allie has increased her & her husband's net worth by over $365k in the past 4 years. Realizing they both had a passion to help others achieve what they have achieved, they spent all of summer 2021 planning out how to teach personal finance habits to fellow Millennials. What started out as a spreadsheet and an e-book transformed into an online course and a coaching program. Now, Allie and Charlie are Money Coaches and Financial Educators, and their mission is to educate, empower, and alleviate the financial anxiety of Millennials.In this interview, we touch on a variety of financial topics, such as understanding our spending in relation to our income,  financial awareness, & focusing on holistic financial health.  We also cover some entrepreneurial topics, such as knowing that you have the power from your own experiences to change people's lives, how the right business partner can empower you to make your products and courses the best they can be, a different strategy or approach to becoming your own boss, and being open-minded to trial and error in business building.  Connect with Allie & Charlie: *Instagram: @financialintentions *TikTok: @fisisters *Website

Today is my first solo episode for the first time since April 2022! A lot of season 1 of this pdocast focused on highlighting other entrepreneurs, but… as I mentioned last season, I want to start being more intentional about pulling back the curtain on my own entrepreneurial journey. Even though I'm still a baby entrepreneur, I'm still learning so much in real time that I know you'll benefit from as much as me. So, in this episode, I share some things that I've been reflecting on a lot lately, which is that as a mother AND an entrepreneur, the to-do list is NEVER-ENDING. There's always something to add or play catch-up on, which can be super frustrating. But… I've recently realized that focusing on how “bad” it is that I have a never-ending to do list in life & entrepreneurship isn't serving me. Instead, when I accept that that not everything gets done AND that it's normal to not complete everything all the time as a mom & entrepreneur, I felt so much more empowered & I think you will too. ***Connect with me on Instragram. Check out this episode with Corinne Angelica from last season. 

Today's interview is EPIC because it's so juicy and it's also really special to me as an entrepreneur.  A few months ago, I signed up for a free experience with Jess Glazer DeRose— a prior celebrity trainer & elementary school teacher who turned her side hustle into a multi-million dollar business in under two years— so that I could soak up all of her wisdom, knowledge, and experience with growing & scaling online businesses. At the end of the free experience, I knew I had to invest in Jess's program, E+mpower, because she had the mindset & tools I needed to grow Confetti Worthy Media's group coaching programs.  I promise, opting into a weekly payment plan to pay for this was tough, but 100% worth it! Jess is the real deal. In this episode, we chat about so many topics that are applicable to women in business, such as the misperception of overnight success, a season of grinding to make things happen, fulfillment, leaning into discomfort, investing in yourself, being resourceful, our egos, money mindset, and so much MORE! ********** Connect with Jess:IG @iamjessicaderoseIG @ThedigitalbusinessevolutionWebsite: Jessglazer.comCoaching Superpower Quiz: jessglazer.com/quizCome hang out with me on Instagram to learn all things business building, check out behind the scenes of this podcast and my business and most importantly to empower other entrepreneurial womenWays you can help the podcast growSHARE!

We were in the same sorority, both with major side bangs, that's where our story begins....Now , 10 years later we are both pursuing entrepreneurship and boy moms (no more bangs lol). I love how friendships and human beings evolve. Chelsea J. O'Leary is and always will be one of my dearest friends.

This is the year that your business idea stops being an idea and it comes to life! I have wanted to be my own boss and own my own business for a few years now but I never really took the steps, nor did I KNOW WHAT STEPS TO TAKE to make myself and my business legit. But now I know and therefore, I am sharing that info with you. I think the biggest piece of advice I can offer you is that you don't need to be making money in your business before you start to tackle these steps, most start-ups don't make money straight out the gates, so don't let the fear of not being profitable hold you back from making yourself official. 1. Determine a name for your business. The name of your business can be your actual name. Listen to the episode for when and how this can work best (certain industries such as photography and coaching are great to use your name)If the name of you business isn't self explanatory than make sure you have a strong, self-explanatory tagline. i.e. Apple doesn't sell fruit they sell digital products2. Search Google, website domains and social media channels to ensure that your business name is available3. Determine what type of busines entity your company will be? an LLC, a C corporation or an S corporation - and register your business with your state.In the state of Ohio > Submit a business filing4. Obtain your EIN, this is FREE after you have done step #3this is your identification number with the IRS5. Connect with an online or small business attorney (NOT HIRE, just connect) follow 1 or 2 of them on Instagram for FREE content or start listening to a podcast that discusses these topics. Online Business Attorney on Instagram who I have learned a lot from6. Investigate Business Insurance - you may or may not need to get this right away. This could possibly wait until you start actually offering your services or making money but research it ASAP that way you can prepare and plan financially for it. 7. Open a Business Checking Account - you want to separate your business money from your personal money whenever necessary!Banks in Northeast Ohio to open a business account: Civista Bank, First National Bank, US Bank and Huntington8. Connect with a Small Business Group in your area!The local Erie County start up organization or start up companies and entrepreneurs RISEMBET - The Minority Business Empowerment TeamScore MentorsJumpStart Inc. 9. Write out your business plan, also known as a Business Model Canvas - this should cover a description of your product(s) or services, competitors, marketing strategy, estimated expenses and income. The Template that I used to create my business plan was through an app called Evernote10. Put together a financial plan - this should outline how much you intend to spend (expenses, subscriptions, business tools) and make in the business, you can break this down by quarter or by month. A detailed plan outlines your first year of business and then is updated on a yearly basis after that.Google Sheets and Excel have templates for this you can use, search start up costs template, P & L template, financial plan templatesFollow me over at @ConfettiWorthyMedia for all things business building and Instagram tips

Haley Brown-Woods lives in Northern California. She and her husband Justin have 2 dogs, an (almost) 6 month old daughter and a 2 year old daughter.  They have been married for 3  years. Haley is a former teacher, turned podcaster, turned financial coach. I met Haley back in the spring of 2020 as she and I both took the same podcasting course, She Goes Podcasting with Kacia Fitzgerald. Haley's podcast, which you can find linked below,  aims to normalize conversations around money for millennials. In our conversation we dive into her own personal debt journey, how she and her husband blew $600.000 in 2 years and then how they paid off that debt + some credit card debt in another 2 years time. We then dive into how her own financial fiasco lit a fire inside her to help others in similar situations through a podcast, co-hosted with her Husband, as well as her new Financial Coaching business. In the past 4 months Haley has taken on 21 clients, 1 of them being myself, and I must say I am a satisficed client! Haley discusses how she works her business around being a mom and not being a mom around her business. She also shares some of her favorite digital business tools and resources which are linked below.

I am not an expert but that's why I am here because I don't want this to be some type of "look at me I have it all figured out" type of podcast. I want us to go on the journey together. We are going to learn from other parents who have written books or built marketing agencies while they were working in the corporate world and or raising children. We are going to learn tips and tricks for how to build an email list and how to make Instagram reels and we are going to sprinkle in personal growth throughout so we can stay encouraged all while driving towards our dreams!Let's connect on Instagram @confettiworthymedia - seriously send me a DM and say HI :)
