Today’s episode is all about what it’s REALLY like living in Australia. The recording of this episode has been on my to-do list for probably years at this point, and I’m glad I waited because now I have even more experience living here and what it’s like!
 
By the time we move back to the States in July 2023, I will have lived in Australia for about 6 years. First in a small coastal town called East Ballina, and then in Sydney (both in the city and now in the Northern Beaches). I’ll be sharing a bunch of fun tidbits about what life is like here, some comparisons between AU and the US, and address some common questions or misconceptions I hear!
 
Then at the end, I’ll share a bit about learning the lingo. While we speak English here in OZ, there is a lot of fun Aussie slang that is so fun and some of them hilarious.
 
I found after recording this that there were many more things I could have shared, so there is a Part 2 coming out next!

Naming your business can feel like one of the hardest steps in the whole process of creating and launching your brand! You may feel like you're going in circles and getting no where, and it can be so frustrating! I've been there, done that. I'm going to break down the key components to consider when creating an impactful and successful business name.
 
This is a topic I talk about pretty often since many of our clients at Girlboss Designer are creating new businesses. We've covering using your name vs. a new name, trademarks, URLS, social handles and more in this episode!
 
Also, I've created a free Name Your Business Cheatsheet to go along with this episode!

Do you have any places in the world that you at some point used to absolutely LOVE, and then you revisit them and that feeling is no longer there? You come back to that place to relive those moments a little and it feels different.
 
The place itself may have not changed much, but you've changed.
 
You've experience more. You've explored more.
 
Have you ever felt this way before?
 
This has happened to me a few times over the years, and I wanted to share in case anyone else relates.
 
In this personal podcast episode I'm sharing my two places for me that I've had this experience with big time. Two places in the States that I used to be obsessed with and have so many fond memories of, and now it's just not the same.

Choosing a Niche market in business is essential for standing out in the crowd, and for making it clear to others what you do and who you work with.
 
Another huge benefit of getting more specific with your Niche is it will add so much more depth and content to your messaging! And the more connection we can create with our ideal clients, the more they will trust us and be more likely to take action in working with us or making a purchase.
 
In this episode, I'm giving you the rundown of what you need to consider when choosing your niche market.

It's a big announcement today,  we are officially moving back to the States this year in July! After nearly 6 years of living down under in Australia, I'm returning back to my homeland to live.
 
I arrived here in Australia back in 2017 with no business, dating my Aussie boyfriend and no idea how things were going to go. And I'm moving back with a design agency, a husband and a baby.
 
In this episode, I take you through all the details with the big move:
WHY we're moving
WHERE we're moving to (it's somewhere I've never even visited before)
and HOW I'm feeling about everything
+ a quick little back story about how I ended up living overseas in the first place in case you're newer to the podcast
 

Drum roll please … we’ve been working behind the scenes for months on something special—and now the big reveal is ready for you! 
We’re known for creating beautiful brands for our clients, but this time, we’ve given GBD a facelift.

In the episode, I walk you through what’s different about our new website setup that I’ve never seen done before, plus the new design templates and courses we’ve added.
