I was talking to Marie Forleo about some of the unexpected lessons she has learned while taking her business from a side hustle she ran while working at a bar and as a choreographer, to the ever-blossoming empire it is today. Her biggest lessons have been some of mine too. Listen in: Simplicity versus complexity. […]
Do you ever find yourself torn between your many different passions? This is very common among entrepreneurs, and I’m here to deliver some good news. You don’t have to choose just one of your passions to be successful as an entrepreneur. I know, feel free to exhale. Multi-passionate entrepreneur. Does that feel totally aligned with […]
Welcome to your last Monday Motivation mission for 2018! This Entrepreneur series has been a fun ride, and we’ll be doing much more of it in 2019! If you want to catch up on all of the episodes over the holidays, tune in here. As entrepreneurs, we’re on our computers A LOT. And for many […]
Welcome back to the second installment of our IGTV Morning Ritual series! If you don’t already know: I’m completely obsessed with learning the morning rituals of some of the most brilliant entrepreneurs and creators on the planet — which is why I’m so excited to introduce you to my friend Mariana Grace. Mariana is a […]
“Baby it’s a brand new dayyyy! Ain’t no clouds hangin’ over me! Something doesn’t feel the same… the rest of my life gonna start today!” Those are lyrics to the song “Good Morning” by Max Frost a.k.a my alarm clock. If you haven’t heard it yet and need a song to get you grooving first […]
It’s such an exciting day for #MondayMotivation here in She Takes on the World Land, because joining me today is the one, the only Alexi Panos! Alexi is one of my dear friends, and if you haven’t met her yet, she’s a modern day philosopher, writer, artist, humanitarian and all around badass nerd. To […]
“I think I had a dream last night?” “Oh my gosh you were in my dream last night — it was so weird!” “I kept having the weirdest dreams last night, I don’t know why…” We all sleep, we all dream. It’s your brain continuing to problem-solve and reflect on the day, wayyy after you’ve […]
I was so excited to film today’s episode of #MondayMotivation, because it meant I got to hang out with one of my favorite influencers (and friends), one of the most connected people on the planet, and the digital publicity mogul herself: Selena Soo! Selena and I first got to know each other over a whirlwind […]
“I’m so bad at remembering names.” “I’d forget my head if it wasn’t attached to my body!” “I’m sorry — where did you say you were from again?” Ah, memory. You’re such a tricky beast. Let’s be real with each other: Being scatterbrained is a side effect of entrepreneurship, and our dependence on technology. We […]
Welcome back to your #MondayMotivation mission! Just as a reminder, this is a brand new season of She Takes on the World TV that has been a long time coming, and I’m so excited to say that it’s here for you all to enjoy! I went over this in last week’s episode, but in case some […]
I want to take a moment to welcome you to your first #MondayMotivation mission! This is a brand new season of She Takes on the World TV that has been a long time coming, in development for many months as part of Entrepreneur Magazine’s network. Every week I’m going to be releasing a new episode […]
Wouldn’t it be great if we leapt out of bed every morning full of energy and ~soared~ into our already-planned day, tackling every to-do item on our list? I definitely have those days. And I have other days when I wake up feeling blah and don’t want to do anything but go back to bed. […]
Welcome to a fresh new quarter. That means the start of a totally new part of the year, and a fresh chance at discovering new parts of yourself and your business. Habits are what build up successes in our lives and businesses, and are the backbone of my day to day life as an entrepreneur. […]
Last week I went on a date that derailed. There was a moment or two I wished a door would appear out of nowhere just so I could run away. And yet? I’m glad it happened. There’s a lesson in everything. To give you a little context, my dating life is important to me right now. […]
I know it’s been a little while since you’ve heard from me, and I want to explain why. Lately, I’ve been in a cocoon of sorts. I’ve felt a little lost in the woods, and that’s the best way I can describe the feeling. When a feeling like this comes up, whether I’m experiencing sadness […]
Sweaty palms. Shaking hands. Stuttering. Struggling through awkward silences. Oh god am I gonna throw up!? Nope, that’s not a list of the worst things you can think on a first date. Instead, they’re symptoms I experienced the first time I (very awkwardly) had to stand in front of the camera, and make a video. […]
Emails piling up. Back-to-back calls that barely leave you time for a cup of soup. Clients making “small requests” that require huge effort on your end. Team members missing deadlines, or needing piles of feedback, outlines, and notes. Loved ones asking for your time and attention when you’ve barely had a moment to shower, let […]
Pop the kombucha! It finally happened: the new She Takes on The World rebrand has officially arrived! The virtual red ribbon has been cut, and we’re so excited to welcome you with new free gifts, reimagined offerings like 1-on-1 packages with me, and much more. Get all the gorgeous details in this little welcome video: […]
This week was one I won’t soon forget. It was a simple hashtag that swept the internet – it could be seen on every social media platform, across a huge span of women and some men: #Metoo. The movement was started by Alyssa Milano, who asked women on Twitter to tweet “Me too” if they’d […]
Last week I had the wildest experience of my life at the beach — and I wanted to make sure I shared it with you right away. With our big launch edging ever-closer, I’ve spent the past month or so stuck inside and glued to my laptop, and last week I was officially worn out. […]
For this installment of Superhuman September, I want to share something that’s been on my heart: Aiming to be “superhuman” isn’t all about green juice and planning for your goals. It also includes being honest with yourself about what’s not working, what’s frustrating you, and what’s not so great. I’ve shared a lot in recent […]
Filled-up journals. Clothes and shoes I don’t wear anymore. Old files on my laptop. Half-finished ideas that never took shape. Habits that no longer serve me. Those are just a few of the things I’ll be donating, recycling, deleting, and throwing away this month. Why’s that? Because in my mind: September is the new January! […]
Welcome back! I want to start this blog post by addressing something: I know it might feel like the world is spiraling further and further into turmoil right now. Between storms, political motions here in the U.S. turning the clock backwards on equality and our understanding of our shared humanity, and dark clouds of conflict […]
About six years ago, I hit on a concept that still feels totally true for me: September is the new January. I was so excited about it at the time I named a workshop after it, and while I’ve seen it used a few other places since, it still holds water. … But what does […]
I’m hitting “publish” on this later than I intended to. I have been writing, reading, and rewriting this post over the past week before finally letting go of “getting the words right” and instead letting them flow, unfiltered, from my heart. After the horror that unfolded in Charlottesville, I’m reminded of the lesson I learn over […]
I’m gonna go ahead and say it: I think creatives make some of the best business owners around. (…And not just because I’m a creative myself, and work with creatives all over the world.) Entrepreneurs who think outside the box have changed the world. Steve Jobs, Richard Branson, Elon Musk, and Arianna Huffington are all […]
If you asked me: “What’s the best part of working in the women’s entrepreneurial space?” I’d instantly know the answer: I get to call some of the coolest experts and innovators on the planet my friends… and have some powerful geniuses on speed dial. One such friend on the speed-dial list? Money Mindset Mentor Denise […]
Around this time of year — when we’ve kicked off Q3, and are on our way out of summer and into the “busy season” of fall — I start thinking a lot about money and abundance. After all, we became entrepreneurs to change the world, and make money while we do it, right? Each and […]
Pinch me — is it Q3 already?! It feels like just last week I was dorkily dishing on my favorite ways to plan for Q2 — and now we’re more than halfway through the year, and it’s time to get yourself set up for another incredible quarter. I have to admit: It’s been such an […]
Last week, I stumbled across a very special envelope in my desk drawer. It wasn’t just any envelope. It was well worn from travel, and addressed to me — in my own handwriting. For two years, I convinced myself not to tear it open… but standing in my apartment in that moment, I finally felt […]
Oh, my new home in Los Angeles, how do I love thee? Let me count the ways. Your beaches. Your sunshine. Your total lack of winter. Your beautiful, bustling population of creatives. Did I mention the sunshine? (OK – I’ll stop counting now… and you’ll notice L.A. traffic did not make that list.) However, some […]
Gather ‘round the couch, awesome She Takes on the World readers! I’m back for yet another episode of Dear Natalie, where you submit all the questions you’ve been dying to ask me, about business, habits, life, money, and everything in between — and I answer, right here from my home in L.A. Today, we’re talking […]
