The great outdoors can be welcoming to all. Lauren Gay shares how to enjoy the outdoors throughout the year, safety tips for outdoor solo adventure travel, and why now is a great time to rediscover the beauty of the United States.

    I Launched a New Podcast "Women of Color Podcasters"

    I Launched a New Podcast "Women of Color Podcasters"

    In 2018 I launched WOC Podcasters (Women of Color), a podcasting community amplifying Women of Color podcasting creatives.
    Women of Color in the podcasting industry often do not receive the praise and accolades they deserve. Although we celebrate each other within the confines of our communities, the podcasting industry at large has no idea how we are shaping this space. 
    To further amplify our mission, I've launched a new podcast, "Women of Color Podcasters," which is now available on all podcasting platforms. "Women of Color Podcasters" is hosted and produced by Danielle Desir Corbett. 
    Listen on Apple Podcasts | Spotify | Or Any Podcast Player
    Although Women of Color host less than 29% of podcasts, we influence all aspects of the industry, from scripting to producing, technology development, and everything in between.
    Listen to "Women of Color Podcasters" to discover how we've seized opportunities and overcome challenges and the best advice for making it in the podcasting industry.
    In the first episode, Debbie Arcangeles, host of The Offbeat Life, shares how she quit her nine-to-five job after successfully monetizing her podcast through podcast sponsorships.

    How To Plan For Maternity Leave When Self-Employed

    How To Plan For Maternity Leave When Self-Employed

    How should you handle maternity leave when self-employed? How will you make money during maternity leave? These are some of the questions you may have when you're pregnant and self-employed.
    As a self-employed person, planning maternity leave looks different than being employed in a traditional 9-to-5 job. Instead of notifying Human Resources, you will be taking paid leave, you are responsible for funding your leave and designing what that looks like. 
    In this episode, I share how I saved to take maternity leave and how to plan for maternity leave while self-employed.
