Why I Stopped Following the News & How My Life Has Significantly Improved

Why I Stopped Following the News & How My Life Has Significantly Improved: Find out why I stopped watching the news...and how it's affected my life for the better in this podcast minisode. #news #positivity #inspiration

Today’s minisode we’re talking about why I stopped following the news.

Meg and I talked about social media and how she stopped sharing as much of her personal life on social media which led me to share how I’ve stopped paying attention to the news and I wanted to dive in deeper into this topic as I’m sure people have a variety of thoughts and feelings on this topic.

First off, it’s very difficult for me to “completely” turn off from any and all news as much of my career is based off of being on my computer/internet and being active on social media.

However, I have significantly reduced the amount of time I spend consuming the news, talking about the news, etc.

Tune in to find out why I did this, how it’s significantly improved my life, and why you need to consider removing the negative from your life to.

Today’s interview is with my good friend and client Meg Sutton, the owner of a shop called Belle & Union located in San Antonio. Meg opened up her first brick and mortar shop in July of 2018 after running her shop strictly online for years.

We talk about what it’s really like to open a brick and mortar store and how she even figured out how to open a retail shop, how and why she produces all of her products 100% in the U.S., imposter syndrome, why Meg stopped sharing her personal life on social media as well as why I stopped following the news. Yes, we get real deep in this episode and I’m excited for you to tune in!

As always, join in on the conversation with other Day in the Life listeners in our private Facebook group. Would love to have you over there so I can get to learn more about you!

Excited for you to tune in and hope you enjoy!

Day in the Life of Meg Sutton, Owner of Retail Shop Belle & Union

Show notes

In today’s episode, you’ll find out:

  • How Meg figured out how to open a retail shop.
  • Misconceptions people have about what it’s really like to run a brick and mortar store.
  • What lights her up the most about being a small shop owner.
  • The struggles and sacrifices she’s made as a business owner.
  • The process for producing products domestically.
  • Advice she’d give to anyone who wants to open their own small brick and mortar shop.
  • Imposter syndrome and how to fight it.
  • Why Meg stopped sharing her personal life on social media.
  • Why I stopped following the news.

It all started in 2012 with a relationship: a Southern art student and a Northern soldier fell in love along the sandy beaches of Tybee Island and the shady moss-draped oaks of Savannah, Georgia. Everything you’ll find at Belle & Union Co., is steeped in Southern hospitality, from the deepest grooves of our letterpress greeting cards to the very (literal) fiber of our signature tea towels: all proudly American made. We’ve got a soft spot for vintage American wit and wisdom and goods that tote a bit of a foodie twist. To us, nothing says home and comfort quite like the scents of Mawmaw’s kitchen; it’s the heart of the home and the memories made in it feed our souls.

Hiya Day in the Life fans, welcome back to another episode! I figured since it’s January and a lot of people focus on improving their health at the beginning of the year, so I decided to bring on my friend and Registered Dietitian Sarah Rink!

  • How batch tasking has changed her life and how you can get started.
  • What she struggles with in her career the most.
  • Misconceptions people have about Registered Dietitians.
  • Her favorite go-to breakfasts and lunches.

After graduating from Middle Tennessee State University with a BS in Food and Nutrition Science she moved to IL to complete her dietetic internship becoming a Registered Dietitian and received her Master’s Degree in Food & Nutrition. After learning that she was gluten intolerant several years ago, she became an avid meal planner, and somewhere along the way started to really enjoy cooking.

Her goal is to help inform people how to live better and healthier lives through their food choices and show them it does not have to be expensive or time-consuming.

2 Ways I’m Being More Vulnerable in 2019 & Tips on How You Can Too

2 Ways I'm Being More Vulnerable in 2019 & Tips on How You Can Too: Want to be more vulnerable throughout your life? Tune in to this podcast episode to find how I'm being more vulnerable in 2019 and how you can too. #vulnerability #brenebrown #quotes #therapy

Hello, hello and we are back from our winter break with the first minisode of 2019 and we are starting with a bang by talking about vulnerability.
 
We’ve touched a little on this in a past minisode about setting fear aside but I want to talk more specifically about vulnerability as that was a topic we discussed thoroughly during this week’s interview with Alexis Teichmiller.
 
Being vulnerable is hard for me, like it is for almost anyone else. The reasons why it’s hard for me is because I don’t like being seen as weak or like I can’t do something or that I don’t know what I’m doing.
 
I think most people have those fears or similar fears so even though I know I’m not alone in those feelings…being vulnerable is still hard. Nobody likes the feeling of rejection. Nobody likes the feeling of loneliness.
 
But it’s interesting because when people are most vulnerable, we celebrate their strength. We love seeing others be so raw, honest and open but it’s still difficult for us to be comfortable with sharing our own vulnerabilities.
 
Tune in to find out the two ways I’m being more vulnerable in 2019, tips for how you can too, and my challenge on being more vulnerable.

Day in the Life of Alexis Teichmiller, ConvertKit Affiliate Manager

Day in the life of Alexis Teichmiller, ConvertKit Affiliate Manager: Ever wonder what a day in the life is like for a ConvertKit employee? Check out this episode of the Day in the Life podcast interview with Alexis Teichmiller to find out! #convertkit #emailmarketing #entrepreneurship #authenticity #vulnerability
Affiliate disclaimer: Heads up! There are affiliate links in these show notes. What that means is if you click on a link and then make a purchase, I make a small percentage of money because I referred you. This comes at no additional cost to you. I only share products and resources that I trust and that I know will help you in your business. Grateful for your support! Hello hello and welcome back to the Day in the Life podcast! Happy 2019 everyone! I can’t believe we are already halfway through the first month of 2019, so crazy! Anyways, before we get to today’s episode, I wanted to share a few housekeeping updates before diving in. As most of you know, this podcast is a passion project of mine and not a primary way I make income. I was feeling really burnt out from all of the work I had taken on and taking a break was really good for me. So…with that, a few updates: 1) We’re going to try something new for the podcast this year…we’ll be doing seasons! Our “second” season will run January 15-April 2 and we will take a 6-week break in between before the third season starts. I have some fun plans for the mini-breaks though so you aren’t left with no new content 🙂 2) Minisodes will still be happening on Fridays and I’m hoping to make them more action & value-packed. I want us all to be challenged on how we can improve our days, whether it’s physically, mentally, emotionally, spiritually, etc and I want to use these minisodes to motivate and challenge you (and me!) 3) I’ve decided to launch a YouTube account! I’ve talked about this with countless people, some even in this group, and I’m committing to making it happen this year. My biggest hesitation around starting a YouTube account for the Day in the Life has been my fear of putting it all out there. Ya see, if I’m sharing what my daily life is like, I have to share the good AND the bad AND the ugly. And that intimidates me but I’m willing myself to push past that and show up…no matter what. I haven’t decided an exact date of launch yet but it’s coming…and I’m putting it here so you guys can keep me accountable. SO! Now that that’s out of the way… let’s get to today’s episode! Today’s interview is with Alexis Teichmiller who is the ConvertKit Affiliate Manager. (Don’t worry, if you don’t know what an affiliate manager is Alexis shares exactly what that is!) Most interestingly though, I wanted to bring on Alexis because she has made it a point to share vulnerable things about your life, your relationships, your struggles, anxiety, etc on social media. She shares why this is important to her, how other people can start to feel more comfortable with sharing their vulnerabilities, what “image management” is, as well as what it’s like to work for a completely remote company, and how she prioritizes her side hustle passions alongside a full-time job. Guys, I compared her to Brene Brown during the episode because she is just THAT GOOD. Excited for you to tune in and hope you enjoy!
