A 90's pop song inspired this email
|
Hey Reader, do you remember the song "The Boy Is Mine"? Brandy and Monica, two of the biggest pop stars of the 90's and everyone assumed they hated each other. So they got in the studio and made a song together and it was a hit! A true win-win for everyone. (If you want to go down memory lane, here's the music video link. You're welcome 😉) In the spirit of women supporting women, I wanted to share a few things with you today: First, my friend Sabrina. She runs a fantastic business and hosts a podcast that I was a guest on recently. We talked about why ambitious women do everything right and still feel behind. If you've closed out a huge week and still felt like it wasn't enough, this episode gets at why. ​Listen here: Why You Keep Falling Behind (And It Has Nothing to Do with Discipline)​ Second, my friend Kourtney (founder of TINGE). She and I started our businesses at the same time so we've been in the trenches together. Watching her launch a body beauty brand that is now worn by celebrities has been incredible and after years of hard work, she released a new product today: Body Beam ✨ It's a body highlighter without glitter and it's fabulous! She's letting me share a 25% off discount code with you today but it's a limited time code so use it fast.
Here's the thing about the song: everyone won, including everyone listening. Same deal here. Go listen to Sabrina, go check out Kourtney's new product, or do both. Either way, you're the one who comes out ahead. And remember, women supporting women is how we can all win so share some love with your friend's businesses today too 🩷 |
You're doing a lot...and it still doesn't feel like enough.

Hey Reader, I asked on Instagram recently how people were feeling about Q4. The answer: too much to do, not enough time. I get it. That feeling is real. We've piled a lot onto our plates and filled every open space. Going, going, going, and at the end of the day it still doesn't feel like enough got done, even though you were busy all day. Sure, we've overcommitted. But there's something a little deeper going on too, something I end up getting to with almost every client eventually. We all...
Hey Reader, Here's a little joke I often make: you can always tell who's an entrepreneur by how many URLs they own 🤣 Not because we ever use them all. Because we can't stop having ideas. A course we might build one day. A product we might make. A weird little side thing we're pretty sure could work. If you've got a domain sitting somewhere collecting dust for a "someday" idea, you already know exactly what I mean. Here's the thing about being a high-achieving woman with a lot of ideas: the...
Hey Reader, Happy September 1st. However you're spending today, there's a good chance some part of you is already feeling the pull to get moving on something. Here's the real-life math: you've got about 12 weeks of real "getting things done" runway before Thanksgiving flips the switch and attention turns toward family, holidays, and slowing down. After that, it's a different season entirely. So instead of a September to-do list, I'd offer one question: If you only let yourself make real...
