Sorry I Missed You

Marketing has a reputation problem. It’s seen as manipulative, salesy, and—let’s be real—kind of gross. But does it have to be? In this episode, I’m unpacking why marketing gives us the ick and how we can approach it in a way that actually feels good. No slimy tactics, no weird persuasion hacks, just real human connection. In this voicemail: Scaling vulnerability (without making it cringe)Why mark...

If I hear the word “authenticity” used as a buzzword one more time I’m going to flip a table. I’m not voting to banish the word but I am saying we need to change how we talk about it in the working world. Because everything I see on LinkedIn lately is giving me the ick 🤢 “7 AUTHENTIC HOOKS TO TRICK LINKEDIN’S ALGORITHM” “THE SECRET TO THIS CEO’S 50 MILLION DOLLAR STARTUP: AUTHENTICITY” Do I need...

Between James and I getting COVID and the weather being as cold and disappointing as freezer burnt ice cream, we’ve seen better months. A silver lining to isolation was that once I exhausted every Netflix dating show (and TikTok hashtag associated with said Netflix dating shows) I had plenty of time read more of that book I told you about . One of the interviews from the book told this story that...

Dude you will not believe what just happened to me. Checking out at Target, getting some deodorant, soap, electric toothbrush heads, a vacuum sealer — James and I are on a sous vide kick, but you know, the essentials. And as the cashier is ringing me out she asks “Do you want a protection plan for $3?” I’m like oh yeah sure, totally. For $3 how could I not protect this $100+ sous vid supporting pu...

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! Can you believe it’s actually 2023? I mean, we’re already a month into the new year but it still feels fresh ya know? The new year always hits me in two phases: * Phase 1: I’m motivated, energized, reorganized and full of hope. Usually during this time I’ll set a bunch of over ambitious goals, personally my favorite way to self-sabotage. * Phase 2: My brain is in overdrive trying...

Maybe it’s the holidays but life has just been moving too fast for me to keep up lately! Especially after traveling for work last week, my head has been a whirlwind. James and I weren’t able to come home for the holidays this year but last week while I was in Boston I got to see both of our moms which was so nice. I went to the ICA with Dianne and then got Tasty Burger with my mom. Finding parking...

Headed to the grocery store but wanted to call you to ask you about that date and how it went last weekend?!👀 Remind me, was this the guy holding up the big fish in his profile pic? Or guy-with-guitar? Anything is better than that guy who took you tandem mountain biking for your first date…what a weirdo! Wouldn’t be surprised if we see a serial killer Netflix special about that guy in 10 years. *...

I swear, sometimes my life feels like an episode of Seinfeld. I'm in the car on the way home from that pottery class I told you about. It was fun but not as productive as I had hoped. You know, James bought me the pack of 4 classes to help me make new friends since we moved (super sweet). But I show up to this class all bright hair and ready to make some new friends, only to find out I am literall...
