Okay, so if you have been wondering whether this podcast quietly died, I do not blame you.
It has been quiet for an embarrassingly long time. No episodes, no emails, no blog posts, literally nothing. And I could hand you some cute little reason wrapped in a bow, but that is not how I do things around here.
So here is the truth. The last year of my life came apart. Not in a dramatic movie way, but in a slow, one thing after another way. We sold our house, the living situation we moved into did not work out, and I packed up my son and left with a car, a kid, and a very big problem. We landed in Ohio, which solved the roof over our heads and created a much bigger problem for my business, because my mom, who had my son two days a week, was now 600 miles away.
That was over 40 hours a week gone basically overnight. And Boss Lady Bloggers went dark right along with it.
But I am back, and I am better for it. Not in a fake everything happens for a reason way. Better because this year taught me something about building a business that I could not have learned any other way.
In this episode:
Why a business does not die in one loud dramatic moment, it just gets softer and softer until you look up and realize you have not published anything in months
The full story of the year, including the part nobody expects, which is that falling in love with teaching toddlers was not the sad part
The three things the quiet year actually taught me
Why that calm season you are waiting for is not coming, and what to do instead
My confession about being really, really good at building systems when I am scared to do the actual work. ClickUp, Notion, Capacities, Apple Notes, and then right back around again
Why giving up is usually not quitting, it is waiting
This one is for you if you are trying to build a blog or a business or an offer inside a life that is already full and already messy and already not cooperating.
Next episode I get specific. The exact plan for rebuilding this business around a full time job, a kid, and a full course load. What I am keeping, what I am killing, and the order I am doing it in.
Mentioned in this episode:
My new site, which is honestly the best one I have built for Boss Lady Bloggers so far → bossladybloggers.com
The free course library. Six blogging courses I put out for free, and it is not going to be free forever → https://bossladybloggers.com/freebies
Want your homepage redesigned for free? Fill in the pop-up on my site and I will show you what is possible. Not a homepage that is just a pile of blog posts. A gorgeous site with copy designed to sell whatever you want to sell this year.
Send me a message. Tell me what you are building and what is standing in your way. hello@bossladybloggers.com. I read them, and honestly, after this year I could use the company too.
