Are you ready to think outside of the box and discover different ways to get in front of your target audience with public relations? I chat with my very special guest Renee Warren who talks about about publicity in your business and some alternative ways that you might not be thinking about to grow your business.  Here’s the thing - the way that we get exposure for our jewelry brands has changed and the old-school way of pitching print magazines is not really a thing anymore.

Today is all about one of the core pillars of manifesting what you want in your life and business - being, acting, and emoting the energy and vibe of what you’re trying to attract.  Because honestly, manifestation and positivity aside, sometimes life just goes sideways and you get served (as Jason calls it) a c-r-a-p ball. Do you know what I’m talking about?  The thing is, we’re human, and sometimes bad things happen to good people who are doing everything right.  As a business owner, you’re going to face challenges every single week in your business, and there will be times when you come up with negative self-talk because of the hardships you’re facing (we all struggle with it). In the latest episode of the Thrive by Design Podcast, that’s exactly why I talk about how to put a spin on gratitude and be grateful for everything that’s happening to you - even when it’s not so fun at the time.  Because, even though it definitely doesn’t feel like it, your obstacles are taking you to the next level in your busines

In today’s episode, we’re switching things up! We dive into an incredibly important topic - how every business owner needs to uplevel their mindset when it comes to money, once they hit their next level of growth.  The thing is, we all have a glass ceiling that we eventually hit. When we hit an upper limit, we sometimes do things to self-sabotage or something explodes in our life and our business. That’s why mindset work is vital. Every one of us will face times when we need to break through our glass ceilings to get to the next level.  This is so close to my heart because this topic has been coming up a lot lately in our community. So many are struggling with their mindset around money, and it’s literally keeping them from growing. As I thought about this, I started looking at the goldmine of books in my Audible library on money mindset. So today is all about inviting you to binge-read them with me right now! I promise they’ll help you grow in ways you never thought possible and change the whole way you appr
