It's Thursday, aka the best day of the week! This week Sara and I discuss how she started working in social media, how to get the most out of your internship, how she advanced in her career and how she sets boundaries with social media consumption. I also talked about the song that's taking over the internet - drivers license (does anyone else have a hard time spelling license?). I'm absolutely obsessed, not only with this song, but the vibes of my January 2021 playlist. So here are a few musical things of mine you may want to check out:My January 2021 playlist on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/user/roglaur A playlist with my fave drivers license remixes (and of course the OG): https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLlnSJPxxW_m6IcwVLjsU8PZwNYEWa8GCzOnce you're done with the episode, join the #generationnow community by following @generationnowpodcast on Instagram or @generationnowpodcast on Tik Tok.

New Year’s resolutions fail for a lot of reasons, but January can still be a good time to take a new look at your business and personal life. Instead of resolutions, I like to choose a word (or two, or three) of the year. It sets my theme for the year and reminds me to focus on something in particular all year long. I was inspired to do this a few years ago by marketer Chris Brogan, who actually chooses three words every year. I started out with three words, but in 2019 I chose just one word: Leap. I wanted a visible reminder throughout the year to try new things outside my comfort zone. It reminded me that before I say no to something in my business, think big and truly consider leaping forward instead. It isn’t a coincidence that I started this podcast in 2019, finally taking the steps to make the leap after thinking about it for more than a year. In 2020, I started with one word: Explore. I wanted to explore new directions and new projects in my business, as well as new places with my husband. Sadly, the pandemic halted any travel plans we had. But before the pandemic, as I considered my word “explore” I reread James Clear’s book “Atomic Habits” to start off my year right. In the book, he talks about the idea of “motion versus action.” Basically, sometimes we feel like we’re doing new things, working on projects, being productive, but everything we’re doing is just “motion.” Motion is the research, the planning, the preparation, but it’s not the action of actually doing something. That really hit me, and I realized that I loved motion and was really good at it, but I needed something to push me to act. So, I added the word “act” to my word “explore” and made a sign that hung on my wall throughout 2020: Explore + Act. While 2020 didn’t turn out like anyone had planned, I was able to do some exploring and acting in my business anyway, as I had to figure out how to pivot when the pandemic hit and I lost business. For 2021, I chose the word: Simplicity. Simplicity feels like meditation or curling up with a good book. It feels like relaxation and leaning into the slow life and the calm. And I really need that during the pandemic and the political upheaval in my country. Simplicity in my business means focusing on the work and projects I love to do and going after that type of work. But, for me, 2021 does not feel like the “go big or go home” year. I want to take it easy, do the work I need to and keep it simple. How will you choose your word of the year? Here’s what I recommend: Think briefly about what you want your year to look like. Set a timer for five minutes and write a bunch of words on a piece of paper. Narrow down your list and maybe look up the words in the dictionary and thesaurus. Say each word out loud. How does each word make you feel? What does it make you think about? Then, choose your word of the year!

With my birthday having just passed, I have been reflecting on how grateful I am to be where I currently am in life. It has taken me a long time to get here.

So, in today’s episode, I want to take you through some of my journal entries from this last year to explore this concept of gratitude and share about the impact it has had on my life.

My January is meant for dancin' across the USA (Nashville, Memphis, Austin, NYC) as a (mostly independent) wrestling fan and enjoying the schadenfreude that comes from watching shitty wrestlers try their best to regain favor after falling from grace on social media...even if I have to wait years for it to happen. Enjoy!

So this is the results of my January 2018 goal, which I made in a podcast a couple of weeks ago. My January goal was to be more & do more positive things in this world. This was coming off of the end of the year, where everyone said 2017 was the worst. I didn't think so, but I wanted to spread some love and positive vibes around the world. Here are the things I listed as major positive things I did: 1. Helped a friend of mine move. 2. Helped someone find their phone at work. 3. Helped bench someone at the gym. 4. Donated money to the ACLU 5. Sent my mom a personal video for her birthday. I think all of these are good positive vibes I brought to the world. Sound weird to have to list them, but I don't know how else I could showcase why I completed this goal. I hope all of you go out of your way today and do something positive today.'
