Turns out, I was a terrible listener


Hey Reader!

In my early twenties, my boss pulled me aside to tell me I wasn't a good listener.

Explicitly. Like, that was the whole conversation.

I cried about it for three days.

Fast forward... I'm now a podcaster getting complimented on my interview skills?! WHAT?!

This episode I'll walk you through how I got here, all these years later, and feel less like a sucky listener (here's to winning Most Improved!!).

My business has been taking some turns (the good kind) this year, and I’ve simply been adding them to the list of...

Hey Reader! I have a bone to pick. Sure, I have a few, but I have ONE in particular that’s been getting under my skin… Like, who let my email strategy get STALE? Who let my email template annoy me for months (if not a year) just putting that on the backburner to “fix when I have time”? And who has been contemplating segmenting her list for literal YEARS and hasn’t spent more than 10 seconds actually thinking about it? Oh wait, that’s ME. Wait, ME?! You mean — this email expert with a podcast...

Hey Reader! I'm back. Three weeks in Italy, France, and Spain — my first real vacation since 2019. Before I left, I told my team I'd check in twice a week. I checked in six times. There was nothing for me to do. Nothing at all. My Asana was empty. My inbox was handled. And Kat? She had a whole sales conversation and a new client booked without me (literally at all) — which is usually my job, my call, my face on the screen. I came home and just felt... cared for. By my own team. That's the...
