We made it to 300 episodes! In this milestone solo episode, I'm reflecting on the unexpected journey of starting a podcast (shoutout to Kristina Bartold from The Social Snippet!), and all the little lessons that have shaped me along the way. From CEO mindset shifts to the value of real human connection, I'm sharing a mash-up of the thoughts I've been posting on social lately—because the response to those has been incredible. Whether you're a parent juggling it all, a business owner trying to stay present, or someone just needing a pep talk—you'll feel seen in this one.Key topics covered:Why podcasting isn't just about downloads—it's about building relationships and finding your voiceThe importance of stepping out of your physical space to get a 50,000-foot view of your businessTraveling for business as a parent—why it's never a perfect balance, and that's okayHow real community (like High Vibe Women) fuels you in business and lifeThe power of tiny moments of connection—with your clients, your team, your familyWhy you should smile at strangers, trust your gut more than tactics, and just keep goingThanks for being here for 300 episodes. I'm so grateful.
Let's be honest — a lot of what we're told about social media growth feels exhausting, surface-level, or straight-up disconnected. That's why this episode with Kristina Bartold, CEO of The Social Snippet, is such a breath of fresh air.Kristina shares how she's built a thriving business (and community) by focusing on connection over conversion — and how you can do the same without faking it or being glued to your phone.
You need friends who believe in your work. Because scaling doesn't start with systems. It starts with conversations. Ones that build genuine, authentic community.You've likely heard things like, “Just show up consistently” or “Engage with your audience!” But if that advice hasn't helped you build a thriving brand community that of fans that love you and your work…this episode is for you.The truth is: It's not about paid ads or complicated launches. And you don't need a massive following or a huge team to build a powerful, profitable, heart-centered brand community. If your audience isn't buying, they may not feel like a community—yet.In this conversation with Kristina Bartold—co-founder of the Social Snippet and someone who truly walks the walk (I mean, have you seen her High Vibe Women events?!)—we break down exactly how brand community has helped her grow (and scale quickly) across two brands, online and offline.
