In this lively and relatable episode of My Simplified Life, Michelle Glogovac and Stephanie Hockersmith share candid reflections on recent family vacations, the chaos of end-of-school-year activities, and the art of juggling parenting with personal time. From cruise ship competitions and school projects to navigating theme park rides with kids, Michelle and Stephanie dive into the real-life moments that define modern motherhood. They chat about family dynamics at Disney and Epcot, the magic of creating lasting memories, and how ride preferences can spark deeper insights into our kids' personalities. The conversation also touches on the importance of conservation, finding everyday peace amidst chaos, and why summer is the perfect time to reconnect—with your family and yourself.

Whether you're planning your own family trip or just trying to survive the summer shuffle, this episode offers laughs, heart, and a reminder that stories—both lived and read—matter deeply.

In this episode of My Simplified Life, host Michelle Glogovac and co-host Stephanie Hockersmith dive deep into the realities of today's publishing industry. They explore the challenges authors face in getting their books noticed, the power of authentic storytelling, and why building genuine relationships matters more than ever. From navigating book promotion and influencer marketing to writing for personal fulfillment over mass appeal, Michelle and Stephanie offer honest insights for writers, aspiring authors, and anyone passionate about the literary world. Whether you're self-published, traditionally published, or dreaming of writing your first book, this episode is a must-listen for understanding what really goes into sharing your story. What We're Talking About The importance of personal connections in the publishing industry. Writing should be for yourself, not just for an audience. Every story has value, even if it only reaches a few people. The publishing world is often about who you know. Marketing plays a crucial role in a book's success. Imposter syndrome is a common challenge for authors. Influencers can help promote lesser-known authors. Literature has the power to change lives. It's essential to support and uplift fellow authors.  Chapters 00:00 Introduction and Personal Updates 02:38 Book Events and Author Connections 10:43 The Influence of Connections in Publishing 18:47 The Challenges of Promoting Lesser-Known Authors 25:42 The Value of Writing for Yourself 29:22 Conclusion and Next Week's Topic

What if you never had to write a custom proposal again?In this solo episode, I'm sharing an abridged version of my Client Booking Machine training—the proven system I teach inside Yay for Clients to help service providers go from crickets to booked out in 90 days (without undercharging, customizing everything, or living in feast-and-famine land).This is for you if:You're over ghosted proposals, “I can't afford it” convos, and soul-sucking projects that pay you peanuts.You're ready to build a rinse-and-repeat client booking system that attracts perfect-fit clients (without selling your soul).You want real momentum, real money, and real boundaries.If you're a creative solopreneur who knows you're good at what you do—but can't seem to book clients consistently? This episode is your no-fluff wake-up call.We're ditching the old advice (“Post on IG! Do free discovery calls!”) and replacing it with a modern, lazy-girl-friendly system that actually works.
