Zimmerman Podcast

Welcome to Zimmerman Podcast Episode 101! I haven't shared a new episode of Zimmerman Podcast in over a year, but I'm coming out of semi-retirement to share a story, an update, and hopefully some help. The past twelve months have been full of transitions and unexpected turns. Our family found a new home in Nashville, TN, Brian and I legally separated, I endured a season of deep depression for the first time in my life, we started rebuilding what our family looks like and who we need to be, the kids and I moved back to Conway, Arkansas… and those are just the big things! Throughout this process, I've found guidance and insight from an unexpected place: astronomy. Today on the podcast, I'm sitting down with my favorite astrology expert Jessie Eccles to unpack my journey into astrology, some details around the decoupling of my marriage, how Brian and I are growing into more of who we are separately, and how astrology has been a roadmap guiding us to who we need to become. Jessie is a grounded, logical, clear voice in the astrology world, and whether you're totally new to the idea of astrology or you're someone who has had your chart done and already knows your sun, moon, and rising signs and your nodes and more, you'll love Jessie's take on unpacking our unique and divine design.

Welcome to Zimmerman Podcast Episode 100!! It's hard to believe that in less than two years we've shared 100 podcast episodes. I've recorded in a closet in Conway Arkansas and an Airstream in Palm Springs, California. I've talked about everything from my marriage and personal finances, to how I approach stressful holiday seasons, to why checking your email is the surprising enemy of productivity. Today, I'm sharing with you the future of Zimmerman Podcast. We're looking back on the past 100 episodes and looking forward to the future of Zimmerman. So I'm going to get right to the important part. After 100 amazing episodes, we're officially ready to press pause after this first season of Zimmerman Podcast. Part of why we're doing this is because it's time to really dig into my book promo for Sleeping with a Stranger and another exciting announcement I have coming this fall. In one of our very first podcast episodes, episode four with Katie Selvidge, we talked about how to build a business that can pivot as your interest, passions, and paths change. That's exactly what I have with Zimmerman thanks to all of you. I'm so thankful for you, my Zimmerman listeners. Some started following along when I was doing bouquet tutorials and teaching a new way to make real money in the wedding industry. Some of you started tuning in when you read my book or heard me as a guest on another podcast. Others have come along more recently to follow along with our Airstream adventure. However you found me, I'm so glad you did. And I'll still be updating and sharing over on my Instagram at @jessicazimmerman_ and on the blog at jessicazimmerman.com/blog. I'd love it if you stayed in the loop over there. I'm not saying “goodbye” forever, just see ya later! And you can always listen-- and re-listen-- to old episodes right here. Thank you for following along here at Zimmerman Podcast. It's been a wild ride! Episode 100 Product Picks A WINNING WEBSITE Want to know the first step to booking more clients? You've got to have a website! And not just any website, but a site built to book! If you're just starting your business, you're probably wondering how you can share about your work, gain clients, and start making money. The answer to all of these is your website. When I first started my business, I didn't have the money to pay a professional brand expert to create the brand you see here today. But I didn't have to. I used the resources I had to invest in my business and create a brand that would attract the type of client I wanted to work with, supported by a website that was built to transform searching brides into life-long clients.

Welcome to Zimmerman Podcast Episode 99. I'm welcoming back Scout Sobel, the founder of Scout's Agency, the host of SCOUT podcast, and co-host of the Okay, Sis podcast. Scout's Agency focuses on Podcast PR and 90% of her clients are women. Scout has a passion for sharing about her entrepreneurship story and journey with mental illness. I first heard of Scout when she got in touch with me to pitch some podcast guests. I was so impressed by her organization and clarity. She just seemed to know exactly what I needed to know about podcast guests! That's why it's no surprise to me that she grew her business to six-figures in less than a year. Today, I'm asking Scout about her incredible business growth and what suggestions she has for those who want to turn a passion or idea into a thriving business. Episode 99 Topics: How to know when it's time to move away from projects and passions that are no longer serving you What makes something a viable business, not just a hobby What it looks like keep healthy boundaries while pushing forward in business Why it's important to take breaks while pursuing business growth WHERE YOU CAN FIND SCOUT: Website: https://www.scoutsobel.com/ Episode 99 Product Picks: A WINNING WEBSITE Want to know the first step to booking more clients?

Episode 98 Product Picks: BeeKeeper's Naturals In October 2019, I decided to write the entire first draft of my book in like... five days. It was intense. I knew I needed to be laser focused for those four days, so you better believe I loaded up on my Beekeeper's Naturals goodies every day that week! I took the B. Powered superfood honey to improve my focus and keep me alert. I also took a BLIXR vial each morning to clear out that brain fog. Truthfully, two years ago I never could have written this book in four days. I didn't have the mental clarity or the energy to do it. But my Beekeeper's honey keeps me fueled and fog-free, and I can definitely notice a difference on the days I forget to take it.

Welcome to Zimmerman Podcast Episode 97. Today, we're talking about the three steps you can take to being a better employee. Now, even if you own your own business like me, you're still an employee-- of yourself! And as the leader, it's your job to win employee of the month every month-- metaphorically of course. Whether you're just getting started in a new job, you're working with a new boss, or you're entering the workforce for the first time, you're probably realizing that being successful at your job takes more than just being an expert at what you do. It also requires you to work well interpersonally with the people around and above you. You've probably gone through years of school and special training to do your job, but no one's told you what it takes to be the kind of employee that makes herself stand out at work. Today, I'll share with you my three best tips for being an employee anyone would want to keep around. Episode 97 Topics: - The one fool-proof question that you can use to assess your own commitment to your work - Why taking personal responsibility for business can give you purpose and peace - Helpful scripts for what to say when you need to own your mistakes - Why your identity is not dependent on your own perfection - Why consistency in your effort is essential Episode 97 Product Picks: My favorite product pairings for this episode...

Since the book's launch, I've been amazed by how it has been received. From being named a best seller by USA Today, the Wall Street Journal, Amazon and Barnes & Noble to incredibly personal and touching reviews from my amazing readers, it's been such a wild journey! Here's one of my favorite reviews… “I love the honesty of this book. It is real and raw and doesn't hold back; and that is why it is so mesmerizing. I could relate on so many levels and I know it must've been so hard to write about many of these very personal and taboo topics. I couldn't put the book down, it was such an easy and enlightening read. I highly recommend this to anyone who is soul searching or just looking for some perspective. Truth is better than fiction!” I can't wait to share this story with you! To get your copy, go to jessicazimmerman.com/sleeping-with-a-stranger today or wherever books are sold.

Welcome to Zimmerman Podcast Episode 95. If the past year has taught us anything, it’s that health and wellness is much more than our physical output. Our bodies, minds, and spirits work together inside of us to build a whole, complete person. When one pillar of wellness suffers, everything suffers. So how do we take care of ourselves in a whole-hearted way when we already have way too much on our to-do list? That’s what I’m talking about today with Ashley Turner, a mind body psychotherapist, power yoga expert, and marriage and family therapist. Episode 95 Topics: What are chakras and why do they matter? How to be kind to our bodies to heal our minds and spirits Why movement and breath is essential in lowering stress levels How three deep breaths can change your day and heal your body Episode 95 Product Picks: BeeKeeper’s Naturals In October 2019, I decided to write the entire first draft of my book in like... five days.

Welcome to Zimmerman Podcast Episode 94. Today I’m sitting down with Scout Sobel, the founder of Scout’s Agency, the host of SCOUT podcast, and co-host of the Okay, Sis podcast with her sister, Mady. Scout’s Agency focuses on Podcast PR and 90% of her clients are women. Scout has a passion for sharing about her entrepreneurship story and journey with mental illness. She’s an open book when it comes to her bipolar disorder diagnosis and her honesty and willingness to share is such a gift!

That’s what I get with BeeKeepers Naturals B. Powered Superfood Honey. Every day, I take a spoonful of their B. Powered honey and every night, I go to bed after my kids, which is saying a lot. Before B. Powered, I’d be totally out of energy by 4 pm. Can anyone relate? Running a growing business while being a mom to three kids-- including some pretty wild twin toddlers-- is exhausting. But with B. Powered, I feel more focused and driven than I have in a while… like maybe even before kids. You know I wouldn’t try to sell you something I don’t believe in and actually use. But I love my B. Powered and now, I honestly can’t imagine my life without it! If you want 15% off B. Powered, go to zimmermanpodcast.com/bee to get yours today!

Now, I’m finally sharing our story with the world. If you want to read this never before told story, get it here today!

Welcome to Zimmerman Podcast Episode 93. Today, I’m sharing my five-part system for implementing ideas with purpose. Part of being an entrepreneur, and really, part of being a human, is having new and exciting ideas that propel us through new phases of life and business. Ideas can be as simple as, “I need a better system for tracking my spending” or as seemingly crazy as “What if we traveled the country in an airstream full-time?” But when you remember that everytime you say “yes” to an idea, it means saying “no” to something else, figuring out how and when to implement new ideas becomes incredibly important! So today we’re talking about how to invest in ideas with purpose. Episode 93 Topics: - Why a simple google doc is the secret to planning and living with purpose - Why it’s essential to give yourself time to choose the next right thing in your life - How to choose your two or three most life-changing ideas each year - How to feel confident in your “yeses” and celebrate your “nos” Podcast on How to Reverse-engineer Big Goals: https://www.zimmermanpodcast.com/show-notes/ditch-resolutions-and-plan-days-worth-repeating Episode 93 Product Picks: Lea Black CBD Skincare In all the years I’ve been showing up online, teaching business education webinars or sharing about my life in Instagram stories, there’s one question I get more than ANY OTHER: What skincare do you use??? For years, I had a pretty disappointing answer: a bar of soap. But as I started prioritizing my own wellness and stopped feeling guilty for investing time in taking care of myself physically, mentally, and emotionally, I knew I needed to up my skincare game. Enter Lea Black skincare. While I love literally every Lea Black skincare product I’ve tried, my favorite by far is the CBD Soothing Eye Cream, which can make me look rested and energized even after late nights up with the kids or prepping for a new course launch. I’m convinced that the CBD infused cream makes my eyes look bright and smooth, and I swear it even makes me feel more awake. Whether I’m hitting the road with my family, preparing for a day of Zoom meetings, or getting a full face of makeup on to do some book press, I’m so thankful to be using products that really work.

Welcome to Zimmerman Podcast Episode 92. Today, we’re talking about how to reboot your booking process. We’ve all experienced seasons where we can’t seem to get clients to book our services.

Welcome to Zimmerman Podcast episode 91. Today, I’m sharing a sort of virtual mentoring session, addressing one of the most common topics I come across when I’m mentoring business-owners or teaching classes. Time and time again, I see entrepreneurs working incredibly hard toward business goals that, after our time together, they realize they didn’t even really want to achieve. When we spend so much of our time trying to keep up with, or outpace, our industry peers, we can end up spending our best hours trying to win a race that we don’t even want to be running. Instead of getting caught up in the comparison game that only ends up distracting us from our purpose, let’s dive into how we can listen to our own voices and write our own scripts. Episode 91 Topics: - How to be mindful about what you’re consuming so you can create authentically again - Why what you consume both points to and determines what you’re searching for - How to use what you envy as a North Star to your ideal life - How to trust yourself and the answers inside of you - What is GGMM and how does it change my day, every day - How to find clarity in what you want from life Episode 91 Product Picks: Lea Black CBD Skincare In all the years I’ve been showing up online, teaching business education webinars or sharing about my life in Instagram stories, there’s one question I get more than ANY OTHER: What skincare do you use???

Welcome to Zimmerman Podcast Episode 90. Today, to help us keep the good momentum of a new year, I’m sharing what I do at the beginning of each year to focus my intentions and goals for another year here on earth. I’ve never been a big “New Year's Resolutions” fan. Those seem to rely pretty heavily on motivation, which just isn’t enough to get you through the first week of the year, forget about all the long weeks and months. Especially with a year as long as this one. And if you have more you want to change than just exercise more or drink more water, if you want more of a full-life overhaul, it’s hard to know where to start. But I’m going to walk you through my 5 steps for ditching resolutions and planning days worth repeating. Episode 90 Topics: - How to reverse-engineer big goals - The mindset work required for building a better year - How to define how you want to spend your time - Why envy is your North Star - What it looks like to determine your non-negotiables https://jessicazimmerman.com/blog/how-to-make-gratitude-a-daily-family-practice Episode 90 Product Picks: Lea Black CBD Skincare In all the years I’ve been showing up online, teaching business education webinars or sharing about my life in Instagram stories, there’s one question I get more than ANY OTHER: What skincare do you use???

Lea Black CBD Skincare In all the years I’ve been showing up online, teaching business education webinars or sharing about my life in Instagram stories, there’s one question I get more than ANY OTHER: What skincare do you use??? For years, I had a pretty disappointing answer: a bar of soap. But as I started prioritizing my own wellness and stopped feeling guilty for investing time in taking care of myself physically, mentally, and emotionally, I knew I needed to up my skincare game. Enter Lea Black skincare. While I love literally every Lea Black skincare product I’ve tried, my favorite by far is the CBD Soothing Eye Cream, which can make me look rested and energized even after late nights up with the kids or prepping for a new course launch. I’m convinced that the CBD infused cream makes my eyes look bright and smooth, and I swear it even makes me feel more awake. Whether I’m hitting the road with my family, preparing for a day of Zoom meetings, or getting a full face of makeup on to do some book press, I’m so thankful to be using products that really work. If you want to try some Lea Black products like her soothing CBD eye cream go to leablack.com and use code JESS40 for 40% off.
