This week I sat down with Trina Small, the founder of Supermom Culture. After leaving her logistics job, growing her blog, and blowing up on social media, Trina took a leap to start her brand that empowers mothers through streetwear. 

Starting off on her own packing orders with her daughter out of her apartment, Trina took risks and bet on herself to build a solid brand. 

 In this episode she shares:

  • How she slowly and steadily scaled her business while supporting herself and her family
  • How she landed press like Good Morning America and Oprah Daily
  • The real challenges of being a solo entrepreneur
  • Plus so many laughs, this episode felt like chatting with a girlfriend!

We’re starting off 2023 with a major jumpstart.!

No, I’m not giving you a 12-step productivity solution. Instead, I’m sharing five practical tips to help you set yourself up for success and have your best year yet. It can be exciting to start a new year but it can also be overwhelming. I’m here to remind you that you don’t have to have it all together, and you can start over as many times as you need to.

In episode 333 I share:

  • How to master your self talk this year
  • Why you should focus on what it feels like and not what it looks like
  • How to change your relationship with money
  • How to make a plan for the year and put it into action 
  • Why you don’t need to wait for permission
