If you’re a regular listener of the podcast, you’ve heard me talk with several previous guests that I first connected with back in the somewhat golden days of blogging, and the beginnings of social networks like LinkedIn, Twitter and Facebook. Although I’m not sure how I originally came across today’s guest, I know that I was a regular reader of her very popular blog called Brass Tack Thinking during that time frame. Through great writing and a relatable voice, she shared experiences, practical advice, and marketing expertise, that was extremely helpful to me, and thousands of others, in building a personal brand, and in building a business that connected with those that I wanted to serve. Then, one day in January 2010, she wrote a blog post that was titled - “The Equestrian’s Guide to Reaching Your Goals” - and as a fellow adult amateur equestrian, I loved how she linked lessons she had learned from horseback riding to setting foundational goals for the next year. That was it. We were destined to be the best of friends. Or, at least virtual horse buddies. :)   To this day, we love sharing, commenting and liking pictures of our horsey adventures online, and I hope we’ll actually get to meet at a horse show or an industry conference or event sometime in the future.   But, since that doesn’t look like it will be able to happen any time soon, I thought that asking her to join me on the podcast would be fun, but also really valuable for both me and you. She’s still doing great work, and continues to share her thoughts and ideas freely in order to help others.   Amber Naslund is a 20-year veteran marketer, and in that time she’s worked with some of the biggest companies, the freshest startups, and everything in between.   In her current role as a senior consultant at LinkedIn, she advises top global clients on their digital content marketing strategies, and their overall approach to using LinkedIn, while on a mission to prove that companies can build compelling, authoritative B2B brands without being dull. Amber is also the co-author of the best-selling social media handbook The Now Revolution, and when she’s not working on her next book, article, or industry talk, she’s restoring her brain cells on horseback, or spending time with her kid (who’s also an accomplished equestrian already), and her rescue dogs.   In this episode, Amber and I chat about what it was like for her to go from industry darling, to best selling author, to failed entrepreneur, and what she discovered about herself in that journey that helped her to rebuild her confidence, and fuel her success today.   We also talk about what it takes to build a strong and authentic personal brand and platform in today’s noisy world, as well as what to consider when balancing a strong personal brand with a high profile corporate career.   Topics Discussed In This Episode:​​ What an entrepreneurial failure taught Amber about herself, and how it set her up for future success. What it’s like being a woman out front in the tech industry sharing your ideas. Advice for someone who asks how they can build a loyal following online. Amber’s thoughts on whether it’s necessary to be on all of the online platforms if you’re trying to build your personal brand. The difference between being authentic and being genuine, and why it’s important for personal brands. Why Amber is comfortable talking online about sensitive topics like mental health, imposter syndrome, and failures in business. Amber’s journey toward understanding imposter syndrome, and how she’s come to view it as a normal, and real, part of the process. How sharing your own vulnerabilities can be helpful with addressing imposter syndrome, and foster trust with your community. 3 tips for those who are interesting becoming thought leaders.   People & Resources Mentioned In This Episode: Amber Naslund Amber Naslund LinkedIn Amber Naslund Twitter The NOW Revolution: 7 Shifts to Make Your Business Faster, Smarter and More Social by Jay Baer and Amber Naslund Laurie Ruettiman Tim Sackett William Tincup Brené Brown Impact Makers Podcast Episode 049 - Discovering the Hidden Forces That Drive You to Do Your Best Work With Todd Henry   Connect with Jennifer: Send her a message [https://jennifermcclure.net/contact/] On LinkedIn: http://www.linkedin.com/in/jennifermcclure On Twitter: https://twitter.com/JenniferMcClure On Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jennifer_mcclure/ On Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/JenniferMcClureSpeaker *** EPISODE CREDITS: If you like this podcast and are thinking of creating your own, consider talking to my producer, Danny Ozment.

In Episode 13, Jivana Heyman interviews Amber Karnes about her upcoming course, Making Peace With Your Body. Amber shares openly about why she chose to do this work and how this work is intertwined in her own experience as a fat person. This conversation talks about the toxic nature of diet culture, the harm inflicted on folks in larger bodies within the medical industrial complex, and the ways dominant culture devalues folks in bigger bodies. Amber shares about how we can divest ourselves from diet culture and lean into our personal power, and what body image work has to do with social justice.   In this episode we dig in about:   Why Amber began this work How Amber came to identify as fat How the medical industrial complex treats folks in larger bodies How diet culture shapes our wellness and yoga spaces.  How we systems of oppression influence dieet culture and our widely held beauty standards How we each hold a hierarchy of bodies that devalue those in bigger bodies How all of the devaluation of larger bodies trickles down to influence the distribution of resources  How fatphobia shows up in the decisions we make about food, dieting and wellness How much time and energy we put into trying to fix ourselves and fit into beauty standards How we can lean out of toxic diet culture and reclaim our personal power How we can heal the relationship we have with ourselves How disrupting toxic diet culture is a part of dismantling white supremacy and other systems of oppression  How Amber’s new course will work and what to expect Today’s inquiry Each week we’ll leave you with a powerful question. We encourage you to sit in inquiry with this question, write about it, discuss it with another community member on this path. Today, we invite you to reflect on this question: What would you do with all the resources (money, energy, time, etc.) that you have spent on trying to fix yourself and your body if you could get it back?

Now, she gets to share her experience and expertise expanding brand impact through in-person and online workshops and retreats. Here's what we covered on the episode: How Amber and I were introduced by Kira Hug a couple years ago After graduating college, Amber applied to 40+ jobs  and was left frustrated because she had a degree but not the 5-10 years of experience the jobs wanted Amber decided to open her own business, doing copywriting because her degree was in english/research and thought she could use this skill to help people make a difference How Amber ended up working with clients who wanted a ton of copy but couldn't tell her what their business was about, who their ideal clients were, or what their vision was Amber started learning more about brand strategy, development, messaging and positioning to help her clients fill the gap they were missing, but discovered that's where her zone of genius lived Why Amber shed her copywriting identity after discovering her passion for branding and how she went completely in on brand messaging and marketing strategy Amber shares how she started the process to trademark her signature service last year when she didn't even have a name for it How Amber knew she needed to go all in because she saw that her clients needed this service and the designers who were working with people like her clients needed it Why Amber starts with brand dividuation because if a client doesn't already have their branding clearly defined and articulated into some core messaging, there's nothing they can do together Amber explains that logos, colors and fonts are representations of your brand but they are not actually your brand How your brand is the perception people have and believe about you and how you can influence that belief but you can't force them When Amber says brand, she's talking about your values, the things you stand for or against, the core messages that represent those beliefs, and how you connect with your ideal clients Amber shares that she helps people gets clear on what they care about and what their ideal clients care about and put those into some core messaging hierarchies in her marketing strategy How Amber has a creative director who partners with her for brand dividuation projects but how she also collaborates with other designers Amber explains the two paths for working with designers which are whitelisted services, where they can subcontract under Amber or they can refer their clients to Amber first and then start the project with their client after as the designer Amber talks about the division she sees between the messaging, visuals and copywriting but says if you can marry all those things, the client and their audience will get the best possible experience Amber gives tips for collaborating on a project and says you need a good relationship, see eye to eye and care about the whole experience and outcome for the client and their audience Amber's partnership toolkit for designers based on their decision to whitelist or refer that has a process mapped out for them and everything they need to make the project a success How there are people making a difference and impact but no one knows about it so Amber and the people she partners with help them share their stories Amber explains the difference between just having a website versus having a foundational platform that tells your audience the impact you're making After brand dividuation and after platform establishment, Amber does marketing VIP days and team trainings so they don't only build a brand, but a brand culture Amber shares when the best time to invest in branding is and how if you're new you need to talk to your audience and see what they respond to because it takes time to learn how to show up and serve at your best level Why Amber typically doesn't work with anyone until they are in the 2 - 5 year range depending on how fast they grow because a lot can change within the first year How Amber undervalued the branding service she offered at first because she thought people didn't understand the value of it and thought they only wanted to hire someone for the copy Why Amber kept evolving her branding service after working with more people who started to realize this gap as much as she did and started understanding that they can't do the copy until the branding is done Amber shares that her rates depend on the kind of business it is and how many employees because the amount of work it takes for the market research and development is different depending on the business Amber shares how being a mother to kids with complex medical issues has taught her about planning for uncertainty which has helped her structure her business in a way that has allowed her time to do the things she needs to do Amber walks us through how she schedules her weeks and blocks out her time in order to have time for research and writing and how she can shift and change her blocks of time if needed How finding balance and knowing that you don't have to be on all the time is key Why foundational, core inner work needs to be done for every business and how it adds so much value to the clients' experience and outcome Reach out and connect with Amber on Instagram, Facebook and LinkedIn; she would love to hear from you   Links mentioned: Connect with Amber on her Website  Connect with Amber on Instagram Connect with Amber on Facebook Connect with Amber on LinkedIn   Like what you heard?

How have you been navigating grocery shopping, cooking, and meal planning during quarantine? My habits certainly have changed, and I've talked about it on the show over the past few months. So this week, I thought it would be fun to hear from three fellow dietitian friends and podcast hosts to see how they're coping with the new normal and how their cooking, shopping, and eating habits have evolved over the past few months. Tune in for tips on turning dinner into tasty lunch leftovers the next day; how to bust through dinnertime boredom by trying new "out of the box" recipes; and why you don't have to feel guilty if you're not baking your own sourdough bread. Amber Pankonin hails from the great state of Nebraska. She hosts the Healthy Under Pressure podcast, where she interviews entrepreneurs about how they thrive and grow even when faced with daily stresses and challenges. Amber has important words of wisdom for each of us about giving ourselves a break during difficult times and not feeling like we have to be Wonder Woman or Superman right now. She reminds us that we don’t have to play the comparison game. I am not making sourdough bread at home, and I’m no longer feeling guilty about it.  David Orozco is a “guy-e-titian” who hosts the One Small Bite podcast where he addresses nutrition topics for men. He joins us from Georgia with survival stories from his home kitchen. Every night he’s there with his wife and daughter as they prepare healthy dinner meals that double up as lunch the next day. No PB & J for this guy-e-titian! Melissa Joy Dobbins, from Illinois, hosts the Sound Bites podcast. She has a magical way of taking the latest science and nutrition and translating it into essential news that we can all use. She’s home with her husband and two kids now, and she’s craving variety because she’s bored with the same old meals. You could say that the pandemic has brought out the chef in Melissa as she has explored new mealtime creations. She’ll share her inspiration with us.    Show Highlights: From Amber: Get to know Amber and her podcast How we stay healthy during stressful times: Take care of yourself Don’t play the comparison game Give yourself grace How Amber’s shopping habits have changed as she is more intentional about food waste and more experimental in the kitchen Liz’s dinner plans for tonight: Asparagus Quiche (check out the recipe in Resources!) Why Amber is more intentional about meal planning How living in Nebraska gives Amber access to local meat and produce directly from the farmers From David: Get to know David and his podcast that’s geared to men How David is handling the pandemic with weekly grocery trips that include masks, gloves, and extra cleaning measures The biggest difference for David and his family is that they are home together for all three meals---and the dishwasher runs almost non-stop Repurposing family dinners for lunch the next day: Cuban Pork Sandwiches made from leftover tenderloin Buddha Bowls made with leftover tofu stir-fry Why handmade pizza is a favorite for dinner--and breakfast--and lunch David’s Colombian roots, his childhood in NJ, and the last 30 years in Atlanta From Melissa: Get to know Melissa, her podcast, and her family How Melissa has coped by shopping less often, mostly buying the same foods, but keeping more junk food on hand The changes in Melissa’s household: her husband has started making homemade bread again, and they have made homemade birthday cakes Why dinnertime for Melissa’s family has included more variety and more comfort food How Melissa finds one-pot inspiration from Shelley Rael’s The One-Pot Weight Loss Plan cookbook Why ordering takeout has become a huge treat for the family Melissa’s advice for feeding a family during a pandemic: “Find what works for you.”   Resources: Links for Amber: Amber’s website: www.stirlist.com Amber’s podcast: www.healthyunderpressure.com Instagram: @RDamber Twitter: @RDamber Liz’s Asparagus Quiche:  https://www.lizshealthytable.com/2014/06/06/crustless-asparagus-quiche/ Liz’s cookbooks that she’s revisiting: https://www.lizshealthytable.com/cookbooks/  Links for David: David’s website: https://www.onesmallbite.net David’s podcast:  https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/one-small-bite/id1492400550 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/david_tdwellness/ Links for Melissa::  Melissa’s podcast: https://www.soundbitesrd.com/podcast/  Instagram: @melissajoyrd Twitter: @melissajoyrd Facebook: @MelissaJoyDobbinsSoundBites  Do More with Dinner initiative: https://www.soundbitesrd.com/download-m-o-r-e-dinner-kit/  Joan Nathan’s chicken soup: https://food52.com/blog/6142-joan-nathan-s-chosen-matzo-ball-soup  The One-Pot Weight Loss Plan by Shelley Rael, MS, RDN

Does it seem right  that when you have children you suddenly lose your sleep, your free time, your sanity and YOUR BODY?  In my naive mind, I thought I would say good-bye to my pre-baby body for nine months while I was pregnant and then life would go back to normal. HA! I am still searching for that body. I hope someday I find it. Maintaining a healthy weight and healthy lifestyle is a constant battle in the busy lives of mothers.  Too often we are trying so hard and it is easy to get discouraged when the number on the scale is not reflecting our hard work.  This episode is going to help women accept their bodies NOW. We don’t have to wait for that “someday” when we finally fit in our skinny jeans from college.  In this episode, we talk to Amber Brueseke. She is a certified personal trainer, a fitness instructor, a registered nurse and most importantly a mother of four kids. She gives great advice about improving your body image, setting attainable health goals and how to avoid letting the scale rule you. Here is what we talked about: Amber's family Why Amber started the website Biceps After Babes Having a positive body image The importance of taking care of yourself to set an example for your kids Things you can do now to love your body Identify your thoughts and change the story in your mind Indifference, when it comes to loving your body, is not a bad thing. How to maintain a healthy lifestyle without letting it control you. What the number on the scale means to you. Defining success in different ways, not just hitting the prepregnancy weight. Setting behavioral goals. Setting a goal that you can control. Where to start when starting a health plan How to maintain LONG TERM healthy habits What are Macros.
