What if your content was a beautiful body of work? A collection of videos, blog posts, or podcast episodes that were so good people felt like they just found a hidden box full of treasure?

Put on your imagination caps for a moment and pretend that you're an artist making a gallery show, but it's filled with all of your content.  It needs to be visually appealing, fun for people to look at, and probably a little thought-provoking to keep people coming back, right? Every piece of the content can stand on its own, but together it's like, wow... *chefs kiss*

That is a body of work.  I want you to think of your content as a body of work. When someone lands on your blog or your podcast or whatever, they're seeing all this amazing work that you're doing and they see this sort of thread that goes through it like you're making the most curated, amazing little gallery show of your content.

In this episode, I talk about:

• My new fancy signature framework
• Finish this sentence, “You know what would be really cool if I _____________________.”
• How your content can be your body of work

When I rebranded the podcast, I was ready for business to boom, my podcast to skyrocket, and my content to be off the chain. Instead, I got caught up in vanity metrics and forgot to take my own advice (whoops!).

So I'm switching it up! I have made the decision to go back to biweekly episodes, and the relief I feel is like a big ol' wave of calm. For me, it's not about being the biggest podcast out there, but rather making a real impact, connecting with amazing people, and sharing information I love and am passionate about.

Here's what I'm talking about:

• The traps of vanity metrics and mixed messaging
• Scaling back and prioritizing the good stuff
• Taking my own advice, taking a step back, and taking a big breath

When I first started growing my business, I found myself wondering, "Am I a capitalist?" It's crazy how the whole money-making thing sometimes feels like it comes with an unwarranted side of guilt. But then, I stumbled upon Bear's eye-opening workshop, Freely! My partner and I sat down to figure out our financial goals, what truly makes us comfortable, and how to break free from that old capitalist notion that money and success are the keys to happiness (spoiler alert: they're not!).

Bear and I chat about:

• The definition of abundance, and how to determine your monetary goals.
• The validity of fear and stress about money
• The pressure to constantly grow and make more money
• Embracing the concept of "enough"

Does it ever feel like you simply cannot keep up with the demand to make more and more and more content? There's a reason for that. Social media was made for us to connect with friends, build relationships, and create a community, right? Wrong. Tara breaks down the business model for social media platforms which actually tells us that these platforms are created to learn our online behaviors, turn that into data, which they turn around and sell as ad space based on our audiences and interests.

So, hold the phone... All of my behaviors, business information, and content that I make to try and get the algorithm to like me is just making them money? YUP. It's not fun to realize that the content we are working so hard on is probably working out a lot better for them than it is for us. Tune in to hear more from Tara about how your content can work for you, and not just for the big-name social media platforms!

Tara and I chat about:

• The myth of 'Grow or Die' mentality
• How to survive online, and feel good about what you're posting
