That Solo Life, Episode 289: The New Challenges in Managing Brand Reputation Summary This episode of "That Solo Life" podcast explores the challenges PR professionals manage when brands are faced with crises, particularly serious situations like allegations of child abuse. The hosts, Karen Swim, APR and Michelle Kane discuss the importance of building trust with audiences, maintaining authenticity and integrity, and providing nuanced responses rather than knee-jerk reactions. They emphasize the need for civility, context, and an understanding that not every mistake or misstep warrants an extreme public backlash. The hosts also acknowledge the difficulty of navigating these issues as PR professionals who are also impacted by the toxicity and chaos in the broader society. In This Episode   Karen Swim, APR and Michelle Kane discuss the modern complexities of reputation management and proactive crisis management in Episode 289 of That Solo Life. The internet has created a tinderbox that can quickly ignite a spark of discord into a firestorm of crisis.  Today's  discussion kicks off with a real-life example of a local business facing severe allegations of child abuse linked to previous ownership. Michelle and Karen explore the challenges that new ownership faces as they attempt to distance themselves from the past while managing public perception. They emphasize the importance of effective messaging and the need for PR professionals to guide brands through these turbulent waters. Karen highlights the broader context of how society has shifted towards a more polarized viewpoint, where nuance and reasoned thinking seem to be in short supply. The hosts discuss the tendency for public opinion to swing dramatically, often overlooking the complexities of individual situations. They stress the importance of context in evaluating a brand's response to crises, noting that not every misstep warrants immediate condemnation. As the conversation unfolds, Karen  and Michelle reflect on the pressures brands face in the digital age, where the loudest voices often drown out the majority who may hold more moderate views. They point out that while brands must be authentic and true to their values, they also need to build trust with their audiences over time. This trust becomes crucial when navigating crises, as it can help mitigate backlash and foster understanding. The episode also touches on the rapid spread of misinformation and the consequences it can have on brand reputation. The hosts share a recent example involving a soda company that faced backlash over a marketing campaign, illustrating how quickly narratives can spiral out of control without proper context. In closing, Karen and Michelle encourage PR professionals to remain steadfast in their values and to continue making ethical decisions, even amidst chaos. They express hope for a return to civility and nuance in public discourse, emphasizing that by doing the right thing, we can collectively contribute to a more informed and understanding society. Listeners are invited to share their thoughts and experiences, and the hosts encourage feedback on topics they would like to see covered in future episodes.

It's not just a day for declaring love, but a day to celebrate our capacity to love as human beings. Don't fall into the trap of self-loathing that this very toxic holiday perpetuates.

When was the last time you celebrated LOVE? The love that connects us all is to be appreciated, whether it is the warmth of your best friend's laughter, the comfort of your lover's embrace, or the kind look of forgiveness from your spouse's loving eyes? These days, it's easy to overlook the beauty of love in its most basic forms. Today, let us pause for a moment and again reflect on this question: When was the last time you truly celebrated love? How can you inject more loving energy into your everyday exchanges with those around you? Listen to this latest podcast episode to rediscover the power of love in its truest form, not in its potential form... for LOVE has the ability to enrich our lives and build a world full of compassion, understanding and joy. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/see-better/support

What would it be like to live your truth as an authentic, objective, and aware human being?

You get to design the most perfect day, living out your dream. What does your day look like? Listen in as I move you into embodying the full expression of Magnetism.   Do you have a podcast?

You don't take off a hat to put another one on. You are a fully embodied expression of self.” “This is a time to remind ourselves of the profound and endless potential that lies inside every human being.” “You carry the magic of the future—of what's possible for others—when the clients you are meant to serve come into contact with the wisdom you share, it will change their lives forever.” “Our genuine presence and unwavering commitment to our truth become a beacon of light for those around us.” “Living authentically requires us to continuously refine and polish our understanding of ourselves and the world.” “Go outside and get rosy cheeks.” - James Santaniello, Lucy's dad.   WORK WITH LUCY Business Branding | Launch Your Podcast or Program | Podcast and Social Media Management The Intentional Planner   SOCIAL Instagram | Facebook Say Hello hello@lucycelebrates.com   ADDITIONAL RESOURCES   Look Up Your Human Design Chart

Celebrating Love on this Valentine's Week. The most important relationship I have is with myself. "When I love and respect myself others will do the same." A quote from me, after I got out of an abusive relationship Valentine's is a wonderful time to reflect on all the love that is already here. I call bullshit on the programs that say I need a man. I call bullshit on programs that make single people feel ashamed, less than or inadequate. If you are feeling lonely or disappointed that your dream lover is not here, play the open ended question game. This game quickly shifts your vibration or state of Being.

Thank you for listening to this episode from my archives. Stay tuned for my brand new 10-minute Q&A episodes, new creative guests, and even news on my upcoming book! Send me a DM on Instagram @melissallarena – I would love to hear your thoughts on this “best of episode.” Do you believe in marriage? Do you feel left out this Valentine's Day? Where do you stand on this “need” to even have a partner on Valentine's Day or forever?  This week's guest is my husband, Jesus Diaz, Jr., whom I met 25 years ago, and we've been married for 18 years. Some of our Valentine's Days have been remarkable, and others we can't even remember.  This is Jesus' second time on this podcast and he's back due to popular demand. Whether you're spending Valentine's Day alone or with a partner, tune in to this conversation as Jesus shares his thoughts on loving ourselves and others too. This is not a gushy conversation between two married couples who feel like we have to recruit the world to follow our path.  We both believe you should spend Valentine's Day however you choose because you are the only person who best knows what your greatest expression of love is. You know what you need this “love season” more than the idealities that you see about love.  In this episode, Jesus and I cover a lot of ground including whether marriage can be easy, the thought that divorce could be healthy, and how anyone can learn how to be a better recipient of love.  Share this conversation with someone wondering if they did something wrong for not having the love of their life this Valentine's Day. This episode might be what they need to feel adored. About Jesus Diaz, Jr. A kind and gentle husband for almost 18 years and the father of my three sons – these are the roles that he has taken since we met back in 199. Jesus was 20 when we began dating back at NYU, where he was a computer science major at that time. It was when his Latino fraternity put together a dance called Caliente Jam where it all began. Jesus and I have grown together, sharing our deepest secrets with each other. We dated for six years and then got married in a side chapel of his Jamaica, NY hometown church. Jesus has gone from boyfriend to fiancée to husband to co-parent through the years. He has played every role with a sincere desire to make things easy for us.  Meanwhile, I've always wondered if “easy marriage” was just a fantasy or truly possible. It turns out I've essentially been the one to benefit the most from his ease. He may not admit it, but Jesus is a romance expert. Because of his talents, I have learned to be more receptive to love through the years.  Side note: Jesus is actually the reason I launched this podcast back in 2017. He was the one who told me to take GaryVee (episode 10) and James Altucher (episode 5) on their dare, which was to start a podcast and they would appear as guests.  Two similar episodes you may enjoy too: How To Be A Present Father And Raise Gentlemen Who Will Pursue Bigger Dreams Than Can Possibly Fit Into Any Box, Meet Jesus Diaz, Jr. An Incredible Dad, Episode 79 Should You Say What You Are Really Thinking? Dating Coach Connell Barrett Reveals What Works When You Want To Make A Romantic Connection, Episode 75 Highlights: Creativity: Be creative this Valentine's day in a way that manifests your greatest expression of love. Curiosity: Always ask yourself why you want something and that includes a partner. Courage: Both marriage and divorce take courage. It's not for us to judge.   Love and Marriage: Love and marriage are two separate things. You could be married, but not in love and in love, but not married.  Easy: Jesus has always thought that marriage seems to be very easy, growing up with his parents who love and support each other, giving him an example of what marriage looks like.  Simple: With any two different brains coming together, there's oftentimes going to be disagreements in different areas. That said, Jesus still isn't giving up on the belief that it can be simple. Stigma: Because of how marriage and divorce are portrayed in society, people have different impressions in their heads that are reinforced over and over again. Divorce is comparable to a breakup in a relationship, but it has a stigma that a breakup doesn't have. Growth: Divorce is a healthy thing. It's like being fired from a job. It's not working out so why continue to bang your head in a place where you're not at your best? A divorce can actually open up doors for you to get to your best spot.  Expectation: Our society has built this Valentine's Day construct, making you feel that you have to be in love or you have to find love as if there's something wrong with you. Happy: If you're single right now, find comfort in knowing that you don't have to be anything for anyone on Valentine's Day. You don't have to be in love as long as you're happy.  Romance: Romance is painted in one way. But as a married couple, we might experience it and need it in a different way. Jesus defines romance as the daily activities you do, even if you're just washing the dishes or scraping the stove. It's not the traditional role men are supposed to play. Fluid: Romance can be very fluid. It doesn't have to be the prescription of what we see on TV. Celebrate: Celebrate occasions if you have someone for Valentine's Day. Don't just treat it as an off holiday either. Carry it out every month and find something special that you can look forward to or celebrate together.  Fire: There are many ways to keep the fire burning. It doesn't have to be just one way. Keep it front and center every month, even if it's watching a movie together when the kids are asleep or just having a conversation by a candle outdoors.  Clues: Find out more about the other person and what's important to them. Find traces of what makes them feel great and what inspires them. It doesn't even cost money to be romantic, as long as you're being thoughtful about it. Maturity: It takes emotional maturity to put yourself out there. You're thinking about yourself much more than anyone else on this planet is thinking about you. If you put yourself out there emotionally for that one person, what do you have to lose? Dates: You could be very interested but just very limited in terms of what you get to say. And so, it helps to keep a list of topics in your pocket just to make sure you get the conversation going. Challenges: Don't immediately say no, or don't react in any other way than saying, "Yes, and" because that will continue the conversation. Don't just shut down. Gentleness: Gentleness facilitates ease in a relationship. And when your kids see that between you and your partner, it also facilitates aspiration among your kids. Authenticity: Don't put so much pressure on yourself to be perfect or ideal. Romance comes in many shapes and forms. As long as you're unique and true, love and romance will follow. Self-love: Sometimes you have to make a choice between loving someone else versus loving yourself.

Get your free chapter today! Don't you want to feel alive again? You know who raises happy kids? Happy moms. So here is what other moms have to say… This chapter is about getting in touch with your creative, playful, imaginative side. The part of yourself that perhaps felt freer before you became a parent, before you chose your identity and had a lot of responsibilities weighing you down. In helping you get in touch with your more playful, creative self, it not only helps you on a path toward greater happiness and fulfillment, but it also helps you to feel more fulfilled as a parent. – Mom/PR The words: imagination, play and fun are not the usual things we as mothers think of when wondering how to get a grip back on our career and I believe it provides a really fresh take and lots of food for thought for mothers reading it. I think that the tone is so energetic and fresh that it is why I would pick it up. – Latina Mom/Positive Psychology Coach Melissa is a mom of three with big dreams who tells it like it is. She draws on her own experiences and the experiences of professionals she's interviewed for her podcast to reflect on the plight of the mother. How do women conform to or challenge the traditional “mom script”? If you're a mom, what can you do to break the “cultural glass ceiling” to be yourself and a great parent, all without having to force yourself into a mom mold that doesn't fit you? Melissa is like a great friend, honest and wise and funny, telling you about her life and asking you to reflect on yours. This book is a great purchase for moms in every stage of life. – Aspiring Novelist, Librarian, Mom To Two Kiddos For moms like me, the pandemic was an opportunity to re-evaluate and course-correct things in our lives we weren't thrilled with. Coming out of this period, sluggish yet motivated, so many of us can use this book to help us wake up! If you're looking to refresh, reenergize, and yes, reimagine a better version of your life, this book is for you. I loved the hilarious, yet poignant stories about motherhood today and the window into the world of those who've gone for it – and did it. – Mom In A Biracial Relationship Who Left A Corporate Career In her book, Melissa shows us that motherhood does not have to be a pause or an end of your pre-child self. With guidance from her podcast guests, she encourages us to think big, find what lights us up, think big, and move towards our goals with the steps that fit the reality of our lives as they are today. In doing so we honor and inspire our child(ren), and our own inner child. – Single Mom To A 12-Year Old Boy Go to www.melissallarena.com/waitlist Subscribe and Review The Podcast!

Today, we joyfully request the honor of your presence at an extra special wedding. Our Uncuffed producer, Edmond Richardson is marrying the love of his life. And you'll bear witness to his marriage in an unlikely place --- San Quentin State Prison.It's a place where people don't often have reason to celebrate…but as you're about to hear, love can clearly make it through the walls. You don't need to dress up. You don't need to bring a gift. Just find a quiet place to listen and enjoy the party.

People constantly ask us, “So… are y'all getting married?” And the short answer is, mind your business. Just kidding! We're open books here. Honestly, we're not sure yet! Marriage shouldn't be taken lightly, and we have a lot of thoughts on how society views marriage as the biggest way to “legitimize” your relationship. In this episode, we're diving into the topic of our relationship and how we feel about this next possible step, what commitment means to us, and how much we LOVE celebrating all of life's beautiful moments… marriage included.   Resources mentioned: What Mental Health Care Can Learn From Dental Health Care Strategies by David Kouba   Some of the many thoughts we share on marriage: If you're thinking about getting married, but you're not sold on the idea, that's okay! There is no one “right” way to express and celebrate your love.  As a part of making a marriage commitment, you should commit to regular “check-ups” in your marriage, just like you see a dentist twice a year (although we hope your relationship doesn't feel like going to the dentist). Let a third party walk you both through what's working and what's not to ensure you're continually strengthening your relationship. If you absolutely want to get married and you understand all the responsibilities wrapped around it, go for it! We love celebrating love and if a marriage and wedding are how you want to celebrate, do it and go all out!    Be Powerful with Liz & Lee, formerly Hilliard Studio Podcast, is focused on helping you find your inner power and for us to share our thoughts on society, culture, and current events.

Lee is passionate about movement and teaching and loves being on the sports fields watching her children, making her line of Love Sauce salads, or going out to dinner for date night with Liz. While behind the mic and on the screen aren't necessarily her comfort zone, she loves podcasting with Liz and has enjoyed the opportunity to share her story with the hope of inspiring others to live more joyfully.  Podcast contact info: Liz's Instagram  Lee's Instagram Hilliard Studio Method HSM Facebook Liz & Lee's YouTube
