This is season 1’s last episode!

While I was looking back on the podcast’s analytics it became apparent to me that you guys LOVED the Q1 recap back in Episode 07. So I thought I’d end season 1 with a bang and recap a bit of Q2 here at Quill & Co.

I am excited for you to hear this week’s episode with Krista Walsh. Krista is a website copywriter and strategist for client-based businesses, which means that she writes your website so that you not only attract more clients but also the right clients, the kind who are confident they want to work with you — and won’t settle for anyone else. In this week’s episode, she gets personal and opens up about how therapy helped her validate her pain and find a way to process it. She dives deep into how it helped not only her personal life but how therapy can reshape your business and propel you forward.

In this week’s episode, I sit down and chat with Lizzy Colombo. She is the owner and lead designer of White Point Creative, a boutique creative agency that specializes in brag-worthy brand identities and custom Showit websites for lifestyle brands and wellness entrepreneurs. We talk about why white labeling is a good fit for her, how it can save you years of work when you’re starting, and how she learned the important lessons to speak up, just ask, and just go for it

In this week's episode, I sit down with my partner in life and in business; my fiancé Danny! After a poll on Instagram, you all wanted to hear more from him. I forced him to sit down with me and chat for the podcast. We have a candid chat about what it's like to start and run a separate business together, how we handle both working from home, our roles in our relationship, and he answers some of your questions from Instagram.

In this week’s episode, I interview Rachel Greiman, of Green Chair Stories. She founded her company, a copywriting collective for photographers, in 2014 and is now a team of 5 writing websites, selling products, and offering coaching for photographers as well. I love Rachel’s passion for not only working alongside designers but helping them find their own voice for their copy.

In this week’s episode I wanted to chat through my own personal feelings on imposter syndrome in hope’s that it helps any fellow designers going through something similar. There’s a lot of talk in creative spaces around imposter syndrome but not enough around the root of it. I talk through how imposter syndrome shows up for me in my business, and personally, how the term itself has always felt off to me, and some steps both you and I can tackle this very real societal problem.

In this week’s episode, I chat with Kelsey Kerslake a multi-passionate CEO of two companies: Pinegate Road, and the Aligned Business. Kelsey has been helping entrepreneurs and businesses build their brands and market their online presence for over a decade while also helping them be in complete alignment with the lives they want to live and the values they hold. In this episode we will chat about the steps to take to create a self-sustaining system for your business, how to begin living an aligned life, and why alignment does not mean you are happy all of the time.

When you invest in yourself it’s like letting the universe see that you know that you’re worth it. But, taking that final step to invest in the future you can’t quite see yet is not easy nor should it be. Good investments should lead to a real change in your business, and change is uncomfortable, scary, and hard. After some trial and error with my own business, I truly believe in the value of investing big in one’s own business.

In this week’s episode, I chat about, the 3 things I consider when investing, questions I ask myself before investing, mindset shifts for making big decisions and when not to invest.
