Self-Care for Entrepreneurs: Why it's about a lot more than just scented candles and bath bombs12/13/2018
I think, when it comes to running a small business, we talk a lot about the work aspect a lot but the one thing we don’t talk about enough is self-care. And I’m not talking about a cliché version of the word “self-care” that involves bath bombs and scented candles (despite the fact that all of the above are quite nice). I’m talking about just how important it is to take your own health and well-being seriously as the work that you produce for your clients/ customers every day. That’s exactly why I asked a nutritionist that works with busy, professional women to be a guest my show so that we could talk about how entrepreneurs who lead hectic lifestyles can squeeze time into their busy schedule for self-care.

So, if being on camera proves to be a necessary evil, and it terrifies you this episode is for you. In this episode, I talked to a visibility expert who works with the types of people you won’t see presenting at conferences or doing Ted Talks. However, they have something worthwhile to share, and want to reach a lot of people quickly. So, they hire Erin, this week’s guest to make sure they’re put themselves out there in a flattering way.

At some point in your business, you’ll find yourself having to go in front of a camera. This can be extremely terrifying if you’re not used to it.
Especially if you struggle with insecurities about either the way you talk or some part of your body. That’s exactly why the next two episodes are conversations in two parts with a photographer, and a visibility specialist. Welcome to part one of this series where I talk to a professional boudoir photography about how she builds trust and helps her clients overcome their insecurities about their bodies. For those of you who are unfamiliar with boudoir photography, it is a type of photography which traditionally captures its subjects in private, intimate settings such as a hotel or bedroom. The intimate nature of the settings where these photos are taken creates a classy, romantic look. In this episode, you’ll learn exactly how Katherine Henry prepares her clients for a boudoir photo shoot. What this episode covers:
About Katherine Henry: Katherine has always had an interest in photography and during college she studied both photography and graphic design. She received her degree in Visual Arts. She loves using her design background throughout her photography business. After college, she worked full-time as an in-house designer for 8 years. She was still taking photos and started picking up weddings on the weekends! Her brides were starting to ask about Boudoir photos and that was when it all started to happen. Over the next few years, she shifted from weddings and boudoir to completely focusing on boudoir. She loves everything about a boudoir session from the hair and makeup to all the fashion, and the best part is watching her clients feel empowered, confident and strong. Each client has their own story and reasons for coming to the studio. Some women come to celebrate an upcoming wedding, some are celebrating a milestone and others are treating themselves after a life change. She opened her studio location in Reading, MA in 2012, and business has continued to grow year over year, as more women learn about boudoir and hear about the experience from their friends who have also done sessions.

I brought someone on the show who is juggling both. Shaw Bernard is a model with over sixteen years of experience in the fashion and beauty industry.

Did you know that 54% of the U.S workforce is not very confident that the work they do today will exist in 20 years? This has led to influx of people either freelancing or considering freelancing.
And this often triggers a very important question: “when is the best time to start freelancing?” The truth is, there is no perfect time. Like most important life decisions, you can either dive in head first and do it, or you don’t. This week’s guest is proof of just how true that is. She left a 9-to-5 job she wasn’t too keen on to start Confetti Social, a social media marketing company for creative entrepreneurs. What this week’s episode covers:
Jenny is a social media strategist + coach that helps female entrepreneurs uplevel their biz one social media post at a time. She also hosts the Savvy Social Hour podcast, which strives to help passionate women uplevel their businesses and become rock star entrepreneurs in no time.

Podcasting is now mainstream. And suddenly, everyone wants to start a podcast. But not everyone starts a podcast with realistic expectations.
Unless you’re already as popular as Gary Vaynerchuck, you’re likely not going to make it to the iTunes New and Noteworthy List overnight. Hate to break it to you, but that’s really hard to do within a short period of time unless you have a large team helping you pump out multiple episodes a week. This week, I spoke to an expert on all things podcast related. The goal of our conversation? Addressing all the damaging myths and fears about starting a podcast. If, after listening to this episode, you still want to start your own podcast, you’re likely not doing it for all the wrong reasons. What this episode covers:
About Megan Dougherty: Megan Dougherty is the co-founder and CEO of One Stone Creative, a multi-media content agency specializing in podcast production for businesses. She lives just outside of Ottawa, Canada with her partner, a lazy cat and hordes of belligerent houseplants.

This episode is for those of you who have ever wondered:” is it possible to make a living as a writer?” The summarized version is basically this…well it really depends.
Are you willing to channel your inner Mad Men, and be the creative department, and the client accounts department all rolled into one? And if you’ve never watched Mad Men, I’ll put it into terms you can understand. Are you willing to be your own marketing department, and do the work, while keeping track of your expenses, and handling duties typically reserved for HR professionals in “regular” workplaces? Not sure if that’s something you can handle? I dedicated an entire episode to talking to a fellow writer, I met in a Facebook group for independent freelancers, Leesa Klich, about how she made the switch from professional nutritionist to professional writer. Listen in to get a better sense of what being a professional writer is “really” like. Since that’s what I do as well, the episode is a compilation of both our opinions. An important hint: it’s not all pyjamas, and glorious muses. But in some cases, that’s an occasional, additional benefit. What this episode covers:
About Leesa: Leesa Klich is a Health writer, blogging expert, research nerd. She helps health & wellness professionals attract more email subscribers & clients using their blogs. She moves them from feeling stumped & overwhelmed to confidently & consistently showing off their expertise. And she makes credible research-based blogging both strategic & easy, which saves them a ton of time, so they can focus on what lights them up in their business & life.

We all want to do good in the world, we all want to be successful. But we can’t do any of the above without taking risks life will be filled with endless conversations about what will happen “one day”.
In fact, I experience this all the time when I talked to aspiring freelancer friends. They ask me:” how can I make money off my passion?” And when I reveal just how much work is required to do it, I check in with them months later, and they’re exactly where they were when we first talked about their interest in freelancing. That’s exactly what interested me the most about this week’s guest. She’s a motivational speaker who travels across the US and talks to people about rejection and kindness. So, if all that is holding you back is your fear of the word “no”, there’s a lot you can learn from her. What this episode covers:
Bio: Carrie Grace is a former teacher turned motivational speaker. She is on a mission to inspire others to spread joy and kindness, in hopes of people making the world better than they found it. She believes that no act of kindness is too small or ever wasted. She loves the color pink, balloon, and Taylor Swift.

What does a love of fashion and a desire to empower people with chronic illnesses have in common? In the case of Keisha Greaves, this week’s guest all of the above are what inspired her to create her fashion line, Girls Chronically Rock.
On this week’s episode Keisha and I covered the day to-day realities of running an online product business, while living with a chronic illness, and juggling a part-time day job. What this episode covers:
Just a little background on Keisha (from Keisha’s point of view, thus the first-person tense) I have Limb-Girdle Muscular Dystrophy (MD); I was diagnosed at the age 24. I was born and raised in Cambridge, MA and went to high school in Cambridge. I received my bachelor’s degree in Fashion Design and Merchandising and then got my master’s degree in Business. While in graduate school I began to repeatedly fall, and my leg would just give out on me without notice. I would fall to the ground and not be able to pick myself back up, I would need assistance from someone to lift me up with all their might, because it was something I just wasn’t capable of doing on my own. I also began notice when I tried to reach for certain things in the kitchen cabinets or try to exercise I was unable to lift my right arm up all the way. I kind of just thought to myself maybe I need to go on a diet and lose weight, but in the back of my mind I knew it something more and after getting all the different testing done, I was officially diagnosed with Limb Girdle Muscular Dystrophy. I always wanted to be a business owner and create something in fashion, so I started with a t-shirt line. Because I always like to wear different graphic logo t-shirts with different writing on them and wanted something inspiring. That’s when I came up with the name Girls Chronically Rock because I wanted it to have some form of the name chronic in it for chronic illness, so I thought of Girls Chronically Rock and I loved it. Girls Chronically Rock was inspired by my own experiences, because I was diagnosed with Muscular Dystrophy and wanted to create something to help motivate, encourage, and let people know you rock and you can accomplish anything you put your mind to. My t-shirt line consists of many different designs/logs with multiple meanings behind it. I add about a few different designs every month or so with a new look to see what customers may like best. Each month 10% percent of proceeds go towards the Muscular Dystrophy Association.

Starting your own small business is a bumpy road to success no matter how long you’ve lived in the town or city you’re based in.
But what if you want to also start your own business outside of your home country, and be location independent? How do you figure out all the details, like time zone differences, your local tax rules, and knowing absolutely no one local who works in your industry? That can be especially challenging if you’re facing other challenges as well, like cultural differences and language barriers. However, this week’s guest found a way to overcome those challenges and start a location independent business ten years ago (and she is still in business)! What this episode covers:
About Jamie (and Studio Aiuto) Jamie is a brand strategist, graphic designer, world dweller, and mamma. Jaime Di Dio Aoyama grew up knowing she would have a career in art or design and craved living in the world. Jaime’s exposure to French started as a toddler and continued into her university years. She then began studying Italian and took a semester abroad in Florence where she casually attended classes on interior architecture and Italian language emerging herself in the local scene. Returning to the US, she completed her degree in interior architecture while embarking upon her journey with the Japanese language. Days after graduation, Jaime moved to Tokyo with her now husband, a native of the metropolis and began teaching English and doing freelance graphic design. Returning to the states 3 years later, the couple founded Studio Aiuto, a brand strategy and graphic design consultancy. Passionate about using design for the greater good, Jaime works with well-living and heart-centered businesses. When she’s not working, she’s playing with her daughter or finding a few quiet minutes with her husband. Jaime currently lives with her artist husband and toddler daughter in a coastal village outside Tokyo and is on the cusp of her 4th international move.

People are trafficked from 127 countries and are exploited in 137 countries according to the United Nations.
However, you’re probably looking at that statistic and going “but…is there anything I can do really?” As an independent small business owner, it’s safe to assume that you’re not a trained therapist. And even if you are, it is still a complex problem lacking an easy solution. The good news is that you can also offer men, women, and children who have been victims of human trafficking in the past a second chance. On today’s episode I spoke to a hospice nurse, who started her own company after seeing what severe poverty really looks like in countries like Honduras, Haiti, Kenya and Ethiopia. But the real source of motivation for Amber Runyon, Eleventh Candle’s founder, was watching young children be sold like cattle in the marketplace, amongst broad daylight. If you want your business to be a supportive environment for people who have lived in similar conditions, there’s a lot you can learn from her. And if you want to support her work, donate to her charity or buy one of her candles. What this episode covers:
About Amber Runyon, the founder: Amber is a Hospice Nurse who became a social entrepreneur. She founded Legacy and Eleventh Candle Co. out of the desire to bring hope to women both in the United States and in Ethiopia who’ve been vulnerable to human trafficking, abuse, exploitation, and addiction. Amber focuses on providing therapeutic work setting that allows all women a fair chance and opportunity to grow. About Eleventh Candle: Eleventh Candle Co is a social enterprise local to Columbus, Ohio, that employs women who are survivors of human trafficking, exploitation, addiction and abuse to hand-make our 100% soy wax candles/melts and high-quality room sprays. About Legacy: Legacy provides coaching, counselling and employment opportunities for the women in their program. Where you can find more about Amber’s work online: Check out the Eleventh Candle website: www.eleventhcandleco.com FYI: As a special thank you for tuning in to the Eleventh Candle episode of my podcast, the company’s community manager wanted me to share with you a free shipping code for People Behind the Business listeners.
