My word of the year is SHIFT, and I want to let yo My word of the year is SHIFT, and I want to let you know about a few shifts happening within my business. I've been in business with Morningstar Media Services for 3 incredible years and have been blessed to work with so many incredible clients and some skilled team members. My business went from general virtual assistance to full podcast launch and management services. But for a while now, I've known that a shift was coming. There've been a variety of factors at play, but it boils down to this: I know I'm not fully in alignment with my gifts, skills, passions, and calling in the way I'm currently operating my business. In addition to this business, I also have my own podcast called The Christian Woman Leadership Podcast. This podcast has been such a joy to create and I started it as a passion project. It's been consistently growing and my co-host and I were blessed to reach over 100K total downloads as of December 2019. I'm also a pastor's wife and a writer, and my blog (along with the podcast) serves primarily an audience of Christian women. Faith is a very key part of my life. So in order to more effectively live out my values and my purpose, I will be making 2 primary shifts in my business: • I will be shifting my focus to serve and speak to Christian business owners and podcasters. I believe I will still share a lot of content that will help anyone, regardless of faith affiliation. But my goal and focus will be to support Christian content creators and business owners who want to shine online and grow their audience and impact. • I will be focusing more teaching and consulting, which are both things that I love doing. I will continue to serve my existing clients, but as of right now, I will not be taking on new clients for podcast launch or management services. You'll see some new things coming your way... more details to come, but there will be some fun new ways to learn from me or with me. Thank you to each of you who has been part of my journey thus far, and I look forward to even more growth in the coming year!
For the past week, we’ve been on a family vacati For the past week, we’ve been on a family vacation and I’ve been on a social media break. It’s been such an amazing time and I am so grateful. One of my goals for the trip was to be present, so being off social helped me to do this. My other goal was to gain clarity around some goals and business decisions. I had to stop trying to rush it and just allow myself time to process and think and pray. I’m happy to share that I was able to get clear on where I’m starting for this year. I may not have the full picture of what it will look like (which is always my preference), but God reminded me that I don’t have to know the end result. I just need to know the next step. And for me, that is clear. I’m excited to share more in the next few weeks, but a shift is coming. Do you know your goals for 2020? Have you made time to think and plan?
As we head into the Thanksgiving holiday tomorrow, As we head into the Thanksgiving holiday tomorrow, I want to take a moment to share how grateful I am...⁠ ⁠ For the opportunity to live in a time and a place where I have the freedom to work the way I do, setting my own hours and creating a business I enjoy.⁠ ⁠ For the clients I am able to support and the ways I've been able to see their businesses grow, and also the way I've grown with them.⁠ ⁠ For my husband who constantly supports my dreams, which often include crazy ideas and trips away from home.⁠ ⁠ For all that I've learned running my own business, starting my own podcast, participating in paid programs with mentors and from conversations with biz besties.⁠ ⁠ Most of all, I'm grateful for my relationship with God, because without his love and grace, I would definitely not be where I am today.⁠ ⁠ I'd love to hear what you are grateful for, friends!

We convince ourselves that we'll start later.⁠ ⁠ We tell ourselves that someone else has already done it.⁠ ⁠ We figure that we'll get stuck on the tech or the content or the recording.⁠ ⁠ So, we don't pursue that podcast idea.⁠ ⁠ But... what if you said yes?⁠ ⁠ What if you said yes to yourself, and to your idea? What if your podcast could make a difference for the people who need to hear it?⁠ ⁠ And what if you COULD get through the tech and the planning and the practical stuff because you have a guide who has laid it out, step-by-step for you?⁠ ⁠ What if by December or January you could see your podcast listed in Apple with your first episodes live and reviews from your perfect listeners?⁠ ⁠ It is possible, and I can help you. Today is the last day to apply for Podcast Propel, and we start the program on Tuesday!⁠ ⁠ Head over to podcastpropel.com (or link in bio) and apply by Friday at 8pm Eastern!⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ #shineonline #podcasts #podcastservices #podcastprojectmanager #risingtidesociety #podcastconsultant #podcastlaunch #podcastsupport #podcastmovement #produceyourpodcast #podcastproduction #podcastproducer #podcastingtips #podcastediting #savvybusinessowner #solopreneur #socialmediatips #marketingtips #marketingonline #businesscoach #tnchustler #onlinebusiness #creativepreneur #worklifebalance #dreamjobmakers #visualmarketing #digitalmarketingtips #digitalmarketingagency #business101 #socialmediasuccess
Have you met my friend Natalie, host of the Ops Au Have you met my friend Natalie, host of the Ops Authority Podcast (@theopsauthority)?⁠ ⁠ Natalie delayed starting her podcast for 6 months. But once she started, she did so with a solid strategy and plan in place for how it would help grow her business.⁠ ⁠ She participated in Podcast Propel even though she's one of my 1:1 clients. She loved having access to the Facebook group where she could get feedback from the members, some of whom were her ideal listeners.⁠ ⁠ And when she launched her podcast at the end of July, she saw almost immediate results! Within a month, she received 2 paid speaking opportunities because of one specific podcast episode.⁠ ⁠ If you have a podcast, what kinds of opportunities have opened up because of it for you?⁠ ⁠ And if you don't have a podcast yet, but you're considering starting, head over to podcastpropel.com and apply before applications close on Friday!⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ #shineonline #podcasts #podcastservices #podcastprojectmanager #risingtidesociety #podcastconsultant #podcastlaunch #podcastsupport #podcastmovement⁠ #socialmediaexpert #socialmediastrategy #socialmediamarketingtips ⁠ #savvybusinessowner #solopreneur #socialmediatips #marketingtips #marketingonline #businesscoach #tnchustler #onlinebusiness #creativepreneur #worklifebalance #dreamjobmakers #visualmarketing #digitalmarketingtips #digitalmarketingagency #business101 #socialmediasuccess #growthhacking #darlingmovement
