    Introducing "Business For Self-Employed Creatives" with Aardvark Girl

    Hello. It’s Amanda, aka “Aardvark Girl,” here to let you know about my new podcast, Business for Self-Employed Creatives. If you’ve been listening to the Womanpreneur Podcast, you know I’m passionate about all things business, especially helping business owners and freelancers succeed… and have fun doing it. There’s nothing like the privilege of working for yourself – making your own rules, owning your time, and trusting your instincts to make the right decisions. You also know I have a “tough love” approach at times, and I’ll be honest – running a business is not always easy. It can feel overwhelming with all the things you have to do, but you CAN do it – you just have to be motivated and willing to do the work. My tips will help you handle the “business” side of things so you can focus on your talent. You already have everything you need to succeed. I’m just here to guide you. I know you’re busy running your business, so these episodes will be short and right to the point. I’ll share the common issues we face, along with the solutions that have worked for me and my clients. I hope you’ll continue along with me on the next part of my journey, and something that’s WAY out of my comfort zone – podcasting alone. Who will sing to me? Who can I make faces at? And how much more obvious will my awkwardness be without having Melissa to help mask it? I guess we’ll find out! So please find “Business for Self-Employed Creatives with Aardvark Girl” & subscribe on YouTube or your favorite podcast platform so you never miss an episode. If there’s a topic you want to hear about – email info@aardvarkgirl.com or DM me on social @aardvarkgirl. And please share with your other self-employed creative friends. Thanks for joining me! New episodes start Monday, June 1st!

    Define, Destroy, or Strengthen

    "When something bad happens you have three choices. You can either let it define you, let it destroy you, or you can let it strengthen you." - Dr. Seuss Whether we like it or not, everything in life has a beginning, a middle, and an end. Life is filled with so many exciting and interesting chapters, and hopefully we learn a little something from all of them! Amanda McCune and Melissa Moats bring their podcasting chapter to a close... The dear friends, both independent business owners, have decided to head in new directions - with fresh focuses and different priorities. Please tune in as Melissa and Amanda break down a quote by Dr. Seuss and apply it to the state of our world today, while also reminiscing about all they accomplished on their podcast journey together. Your inspiring Womanpreneur co-hosts have shared from the start to always have the courage to begin the journeys that set your soul on fire, and when the moment strikes to finish one book and begin another, honor where your heart and instincts lead you and have no fear. It's been our pleasure to share with all of you and serve you. Please join us for our final empowering episode. We hope you'll continue with us on our new independent journeys, too!

    The Little Things

    It's been said the best things in life are free. But what if some of the best things in life aren't things at all? When COVID-19 took the world by storm, every aspect of our lives was affected. Our daily trips to the gym, casual dinners out with friends, frequenting our favorite local businesses.  All of it just stopped. Normal as we once knew it drastically changed overnight.  Where do we look for solace? How can we keep our spirits up during a time of crisis? When everything outside is uncertain and amiss, the best place to turn is inward. Getting quiet and becoming present are two gifts you have within you, if you allow yourself to recognize them. And finding ways to appreciate the small things that bring you joy just might help you get through the tough times a little more easily. Amanda and Melissa talk about the little things that are keeping them going - and smiling! The silliness of cats, going for daily walks, listening to the birds outside… maybe you have some of the same "little things" in common! Tune in for an uplifting episode of The Womanprenuer Podcast, and be reminded that you have so much. The best things in life... What could they be? You'll have to join us to see!

    Never Stop Learning

    Ever hear the phrase, "Knowledge is power?" Well, the more you learn the more capable you are and the more you can surprise yourself as you create your very best life. During a nationwide shutdown, many of us have found a little extra time. How are you using yours?  Tony Robbins says, "If you're not growing, you're dying." Yikes. Well, the opposite of that would be if you are growing, you're thriving! So that's exciting news! And it sounds right in line with the way your talented talking twosome, Womanpreneur Podcast hosts Amanda McCune and Melissa Moats like to be! Alive and full of thrive!  From hobbies to business and everything in between, how can you apply the gift of time to your life right now?  What have you always wanted to explore? There's never been a better time to ponder, try and apply. Tune in for some inspiration!

    Moral Fatigue

    Ever hear of moral fatigue? Well, it's a thing and it's happening right now! From the moment we wake up and take on our day, we are making decisions - mostly on autopilot. A large percentage of our daily tasks and routines are done with minimal thought, and are based more on behaviors and cues! But when your day-to-day as you've known it suddenly gets turned upside down, making even the simplest of decisions can feel overwhelming. And now our choices can have an impact on others, so we have to consider them extra carefully. For example, grocery shopping has taken on a whole new meaning. What day of the week should you go? What time of day will there be fewer people out? What do you "really need?" Is it worth the trip? Mask or no mask? Should you wear gloves? Will there be any toilet paper? It used to be such a simple task but now it’s simply exhausting. We feel it, too! Your morally magical M Squared hosts weigh in on this interesting topic and share creative ways to combat the overwhelm!   The Rolling Stone article: https://www.rollingstone.com/culture/culture-features/corona-exhausted-moral-fatigue-974311/ Keep the conversation going by joining our Facebook Group!

    Forced Adaptability

    Every day is filled with unique obstacles.Adaptability is a trait high on the "useful life skills" list! Adapting to new people, situations, surprises, and changes comes easily to some, but can be much more challenging for others.  Having the option to ease into adapting to something new can be far less stressful when you have more time to process your feelings and can ponder different approaches you can take. However, some things in life are simply outside of our control.  Womanpreneurs Melissa Moats and Amanda McCune discuss ways to adjust when you're forced to adapt. What are things you can do to take the sting out of blunt-force change? How can you shift your mindset to work with you? Who can you turn to so you don't feel alone?  Forced adaptability is on the minds of so many when reality as we all used to know it changed… overnight. Find comfort and support in our encouraging, optimistic conversation. We hope you'll tune in and join us, as we're all in this TOGETHER.  Note - We know the quality isn't what you're used to. We've been forced to adapt and find new ways to record when we can't be in the same place together. Please bear with us as we learn new software and find better solutions until we can go back to the studio! Keep the conversation going by joining our Facebook Group!

    Big Takeaways from Business Ownership w/ Kirissa Shipp

    Special guest and President of TVandRadioVoices.com, Kirissa Shipp, joins us for an introspective conversation surrounding “big takeaways” from being a business owner! From setting boundaries - personally and professionally - to understanding the perspective of someone who regularly hires creatives, Amanda, Melissa and Kirissa get real about how much time and dedication is required when you own and run your own business. Discipline? Yeah. That’s a must. Work ethic. That too. Free time? (Insert chuckle here.) It is possible, and we cover what it takes to create time for yourself while still building your biz! Kirissa weighs in about how she’s grown since she first became President of her company, and how she’s achieved more work/life balance. Tune in to find out how three busy ladies do it all - or at least fit mostly everything in - day by day!
