Four Steps Through a Funk

This past week, I went on "vacation". Which lasted all of 5 hours and 45 minutes before the shit hit the proverbial fan. 

Through the experience, I gained some new insights into my own life, my business, and a bit of a method I will be using to get through future emotional, professional, and otherwise all-around "funks". 

Please note: I swear a few times in this episode because #ican so it may not be suitable to listen to with small or sensitive ears.

Working Through a Block with Your Host, Emily Aborn

I had a lot of great ideas for today's episode, but nothing was exactly meshing together in my brain. Have you ever had that? Writer's block? Creator's block? Life block? 

 

You all know I am not usually one that is short on words, but sometimes getting them to work the way I want them to leaves me... speechless! 

 

Listen to how I (and many others) overcome writer's block, creator's block, and get all the juicy stuff out there by embracing rough, rocky, messy first drafts!

The Secret FOUR-Mula: Ideas on What to Share!

Let's face it, social media can be a bit daunting. We look into a sea of faces who seem to be putting their good sides forward and we are supposed to somehow get them to want to choose US and express interest in our businesses, right? 

But what on earth do we actually SHARE in order to get them to do that? 

In this episode, I share my not-so-secret sauce on how I work my content for social media for myself and my clients. It not only takes the mystery out of WHAT to post, it also opens you up to new ideas and may even unlock some creative juices!
