Welcome back to the Finding the Throughline interview with Laura Belgray, author of the national bestseller Tough Titties, a collection of essays that is essentially a permission slip to be a dork, a sometimes-unspiritual slacker, a late bloomer and, ultimately, unapologetically you. Laura is the founder of Talking Shrimp and co-creator of The Copy Cure with Marie Forleo. She has been featured in Elle, Fast Company, and Business Insider, and has written for Bravo, HBO, Nick at Nite, VH1, and more. Today, we find out what's currently brewing for Laura and what she knows at this moment about where her personal throughline is leading her next, as well as what kinds of things she's been reading, watching and listening to lately We covered: • Crawling out of a pit of despair after the election results • Continuing to build her email list in the modern world where there are so many more things vying for our attention • How she is not a visionary or planner—yet has achieved many amazing things anyway • David Sedaris as the author who first introduced her to a genre/structure of book that is a collection of essays and also memoir. • Her love of fiction and lack of confidence she will be able to write one someday, though she would love to • How she would love to win Powerball so she could write whatever she wants • How she wouldn't have written a fraction of what she'd written if she didn't write as a way to eat and make money • Margot's Got Money Troubles by Rufy Thorpe--the last book that she could not put down. • Spaghettini pomodoro at Scarpetta, with plenty of extra butter Connect with Laura at talkingshrimp.com.

This week my guest is Laura Belgray, author of the national bestseller Tough Titties: On Living Your Best Life When You're the F-ing Worst. Laura is also an internet-famous copywriter, founder of Talking Shrimp, and co-creator, with Marie Forleo, of The Copy Cure. Laura started her writing career at Spy Magazine, New York Magazine, and then VH1 before starting her own copywriting and teaching business almost by accident. That business went on to earn a million dollars the year she turned 50–an achievement Laura wrote about for “Business Insider.” Fun fact: Laura taught Sherman Helmsley, aka George Jefferson from The Jeffersons, how to moonwalk. We covered: • How she finagled a job for herself that involved her watching a lot of TV (one of her favorite things to do) • Why getting paid to ‘'write emails to friends'' is her dream job • How inspiration comes from writing--not the other way around • The magical powers of writing on the fly • Her morning routine which includes iced coffee, a walk outside, and dicking around • The website she swears by to get her writing every day • How she deals with bouts of talker's block on social media Connect with Laura at talkingshrimp.com.

It's open books all the way with these two TMI queens and their no-holds-barred, hilarious ways. They're the perfect duo to break my 6-month hiatus from the show. What a hoot to be back with three-time New York Times best-selling memoirist Jenny Lawson (Broken, Furiously Happy, and Let's Pretend This Never Happened) and her blogtastic comedic twin, Laura Belgray, joining us here while on book tour for her debut memoir, the national bestseller, Tough Titties: On Living Your Best Life when You're the F-ing Worst.Y'all, this one's a mood booster! And a total love match, as you'll see. If you're in the mood to laugh and shake off the funk from your Doomscrolling, this is the show for you.This may be Laura's first book, but she's one of the most successful career writers I know, starting in TV writing for NBC, HBO, USA, Nick at Night, Nickelodeon, TV Land, VH1, and others.

We also dish on hiding during Zoom calls, editing drunk, getting mailed boxes of dildos in the mail (like you do), blowjobs Laura gave in the early 90s, titties that grow back after reduction surgery, and the ghost living under Jenny's house.I'm so happy you're here. Write on!PS.

Meet Laura Belgray Laura Belgray is the founder of Talking Shrimp, co-creator of The Copy Cure, and author of Tough Titties: On Living Your Best Life When You're the F'ing Worst. An award-winning copywriting expert, she helps entrepreneurs find the perfect words to express and sell what they do in a way that gets them paid to be themselves. Through her work with hundreds of clients (including online biggies like Marie Forleo and Amy Porterfield), she's seen firsthand that putting “you” into your copy and all through your business is pure magic for getting people to love you up, sharing your ideas, and happily click your Buy button.

You can get Tough Titties (and her badass bonuses) at toughtittiesbook.com.   Some Swear Words Ok, we did get into some swear words in this episode (all in good fun, of course), so if you have little ones around, be sure to put in your earbuds or take us on a solo walk. Laura and I talked all about giving yourself a permission slip to stop trying so hard, embrace the late bloomer in you and do life YOUR way.    This is a book you won't be able to put down. I shared how I couldn't stop reading it and found myself half asleep with pig lard on my face (yes, it's a thing), glasses, and fingertips, as I earmarked almost every page and underlined more than half of the book.   Want inspiration to be a little lazy, less worried about what others think, and a reminder that you are perfect the way you are wired? If so, this is a must-listen-to episode.    The Unfiltered Truth Laura fearlessly confronts life's obstacles in her book, "Tough Titties” and she shares verrrrry openly about her setbacks, disappointments, and embarrassing moments that shaped her into the resilient, take-no-sh*t from anyone woman she is today.   Through her unfiltered storytelling, Laura reminds us that we are not alone in our struggles and encourages us to embrace our vulnerabilities as a source of strength. Heck yes, Laura!   Unleashing Your Inner Boldness and Baddassery "Tough Titties" will empower you to embrace your inner boldness (and badass self) and take courageous action while stopping placing your self-worth based on outside measures. Whether it's promoting your services, products, work, or self, Laura is all about you being your ‘You-est You.'    This book is such a powerful and refreshing read that challenges societal norms, embraces vulnerability, and inspires us to live more vulnerably, authentically, resiliently, and boldly. In fact, it's a stubborn refusal of who you're supposed to be so you can be who you want to be.    A Free Toolset To Design Your Best Life This stunning free toolset is a 7-day workbook (25 pages full) of powerful mindset practices, grounding meditations (and audio), a new beautiful time management system and template to set your personalized schedule for your best productivity, a personalized energy assessment, and so much more.

Each of us is living in our own timeline.  The pressure to follow the same path and timeline as everyone else is an illusion. Just take a breath and say this aloud: “Tough titties!” In this episode, award-winning copywriter and Talking Shrimp founder Laura Belgray shares her challenging experiences growing up, the stress of fitting in among cliques, finding her soulmate (unexpectedly!), and why the world needs more of your stories. Tune in to this episode: Tough Titties with Laura Belgray Key points covered in this episode: ✔️ People grow and change. In any environment, everyone we've met can transform and have different behaviors and interests as life goes on. Someone who may have been harsh to us back then can do better in the present. ✔️ Tough Titties is a rejection to conform to societal timelines. There's nothing wrong with being a late-bloomer. What we want comes to us in its own time. ✔️ Don't put all your eggs in one basket. When looking for your special someone, date multiple people at the same time. Have distractions so that this person you like doesn't become your sole focus. This allows things to ripen in their own time. ✔️ Practice energetic agility. It can be tricky to shift your energy from what you're hyper-focused on to a loved one that needs your attention. Look for ways you can make the transition more smooth. It can be a few deep breaths or verbally letting them know how you feel. ✔️  You have so many stories in you! Stories are great tools for selling or commanding a room. There's no such thing as a boring life. Let the world know your truth! ✔️ Choosing the right relationship is a service. You want to be in one that welcomes your authentic self and encourages your partner to be real, too. When people are comfortable in their own skin, they pass this energy on to others, creating a positive ripple effect.

***Mind your ears for a couple of swears*** Laura Belgray aka Talking Shrimp (listen to the episode, she explains

This week on the show we have the one, the only, soon-to-be New York Times Bestselling author, Laura F*ing Belgray!When I thought of who I would want to help ring in my 100th episode, my mentor, my friend, Laura Belgray catapulted to mind first.She has a long list of accolades which you can learn more about on her Talking Shrimp website...as well as learn why her company is named after a chatty crustacean to begin with.A bonafide celebrity and icon in the copywriting world, she's about to launch her first book, aptly named, "Tough Titties: On Living Your Best Life When You're the F-ing Worst".  The book comes out June 13th, but you can pre-order it here.  I read it cover-to-cover in under four days...a joyous respite between the job, the kids, and the MBA program that currently (happily) rule my life. 

In this exciting episode of the Holistic ,Wealth podcast with Keisha Blair, our very special guest is Laura Belgray, award-winning founder of Talking Shrimp and Co-Creator of The Copy Cure with Marie Forleo. In this episode of the Holistic Wealth podcast, we discuss how Laura Belgray earned her first million at age 50 plus her new book Tough Titties: On Living Your Best Life When You're the F-Ing Worst (now available for preorder). She's written TV spots for clients like NBC, Fandango, and Bravo, and now helps entrepreneurs and creatives get paid to be 100% themselves. Laura mentioned on the Holistic Wealth podcast that this pivotal conversation that she also outlined in her book, made her think twice about her “fit” in the corporate world: "All I do in my career is move up and up and up. It's like every time I walk into the office, I get promoted." “We were at dinner with our friend's new girlfriend, a dewy-faced, 29-year-old Conde Nast worker. Shaking her head "no" to the server's offer of bread, she added, "I'll probably be publisher in the next couple of years. I remember thinking (as I smeared butter on a second sourdough roll, thank you), I'm ten years older than this young thing and have never in my life moved "up and up and up." I'm so behind!” That was more than a decade ago. For years, my "feeling behind" only got worse”. As Laura discussed on the podcast “it's easy to feel behind when you scroll Instagram and see young influencers raking in billions from lip gloss, or overhear 20-something tech kids in line at Starbucks, talking about their Tesla collections and early retirements”. This podcast episode is for the late starters and late bloomers, who think they're behind. With high inflation and high cost of living, fears of a looming recession, and increasing debt, many people are wondering how to deal with their personal finances. Money mindset and money beliefs are critical to achieving financial freedom and are therefore important to overall holistic wealth. On the Holistic Wealth podcast as well as in the NEW Holistic Wealth Expanded and Updated; 36 Life Lessons To Help Your Recover From Disruption, Find Your Life Purpose and Achieve Financial Freedom, the entire book is dedicated to this topic as well as mindset and mental health. Tune in to listen to this episode of the Holistic wealth podcast with Keisha Blair.

Email marketing is one of the best tactics to reach and grow your audience, yet it is one of the most overlooked practices. But just having an email marketing campaign isn't good enough — you need to know what works, and what doesn't. This week, Sam is joined by Sobrina Pies, the head of marketing at Flodesk, the world's most intuitive email builder. Sobrina talks about what makes a great email campaign, the mistakes she sees marketers make most often, and how to improve your click-through rate in an already existing campaign. She and Sam also talk about using Flodesk along with a few other affordable recommendations to create a beautiful and impactful email that provides value and fosters a reciprocal, memorable conversation. What You Will Discover This Week: Why marketers tend to put email marketing on the backburner and instead focus all the attention on social, and why Sabrina and Sam feel that it results in a lot of missed opportunities. Not only do you have an opportunity to reach 100% of your subscribers and audience with email marketing, but it is the largest organic growth driver. Why Sam is a big fan of Flodesk and their ability to help marketers of all skill levels create stunning emails. Sobrina's advice on creating emails that entertain, inform, provide value, and leave your audience wanting more. Flodesk offers a flat fee, so the rate doesn't go up exponentially as you grow your audience. A little bit more about Sobrina's background in the marketing side of tech for 15 years, and how she combined that with her love of the side hustle to bring the best of both worlds to Flodesk. Some great resources for high-quality photos, copy,  imagery, and pointers on how long an email should be for best engagement.
