    How to Trust Your Gut ft. Tareasa “ReesaTeesa” Johnson

    #361: Tareasa “ReesaTeesa” Johnson went viral in February 2024 with "Who the F Did I Marry?", the 50-part TikTok series that ended up in front of half a billion people. This week she's back with something different: her memoir, "What TF Do I Do Now?" just dropped, and she’s bringing us even deeper into her story. We also get into the parts nobody wants to admit out loud: what she calls the viral tax, the real cost hiding behind every brand deal and TV offer, and the loneliness that shows up even when your name is a hashtag half the world knows. She's honest about the fact that alone and lonely aren't the same thing, but they've overlapped for her more than she wanted to say in the book. This episode is for you if... You're learning how to trust your gutYou're curious what actually happens financially and mentally after a story goes viralYou need the reframe from "what if I'm wrong" to "what if I'm right" in your own life right nowYou're doing the quiet work of forgiving yourselfYou want to hear how someone rebuilds trust with her own intuition after ignoring it Episode Links: Get your copy of What TF Do I Do Now, by Tereasa “ReesaTeesa” Johnson: https://bookshop.org/a/55347/9798217088607Follow Reesa on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@reesamteesa?lang=enFollow Reesa on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/reesateesa/ Sponsors: Monarch: Monarch is the personal finance app that tracks everything — accounts, investments, savings goals, and spending.

    Let Me Deinfluence You Into More Luck

    #358: Today's solo episode started as a reflection on my own disillusionment and turned into a bigger theme: de-influencing. De-influencing myself from glow-up culture, from FOMO, and so much more. The more I let go of what I'm "supposed" to want, the luckier I actually feel — and I think most of us have at least one thing we're still letting an algorithm or a comment section talk us into. If you've ever gone along with something because you thought you were supposed to want it, only to realize once you were in it that it didn't actually feel good, this episode is for you. I'm getting into what it looks like to actually listen to that feeling instead of pushing through it, and what's on the other side when you do. This episode is for you if… You're tired of contorting yourself to be palatable and want permission to stop.You've ever felt FOMO about an event, a trip, or an opportunity and needed someone to talk you off the ledge.You're ready to get harder to influence, and luckier for it.

    Recho Omondi on Building The Cutting Room Floor, Outsmarting the Algorithm & Not Shortchanging Yourself

    #357: Recho Omondi launched The Cutting Room Floor as "Fashion's Only Fashion Show" back in 2018, when nobody understood why a fashion podcast should exist. Now she's just closed a multi-year partnership with Patreon, the platform she's been exclusively building her community with since 2021.  This week we trace it all: the art school pivot from pre-med, the accidental embroidery business that out-earned her fashion label, and the meeting where she walked into Patreon's C-suite and pitched them a deal nobody had ever been offered before.  We also get into the parts nobody wants to admit out loud: what it actually feels like when your biggest win gets met with silence, and why the algorithm might be doing more damage to how we see each other than many of us are willing to admit. This episode is for you if... You're building something slow and unsexy that nobody's clapping for yet, but you know it's workingYou've ever had a huge win met with silence from someone who was supposed to be happy for youYou want a reframe on jealousy that isn't just "ignore it and move on"You're curious what it actually takes to build a paid community from scratch, no borrowed audience, no shortcutsYou need permission to trust your gut over everyone else's opinion Episode Links: Subscribe to The Cutting Room Floor on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/cw/thecuttingroomfloorFollow The Cutting Room Floor on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thecuttingroomfloor/Follow Recho on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/omondi/Follow The Cutting Room Floor on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@tcrfff Sponsors: Nuuly: Visit use code LUCKY at https://www.nuuly.com to get $28 off your first month.Square: Get up to $200 off Square hardware when you sign up at https://www.square.com/go/luckySuperpower: Visit https://www.superpower.com and use code LUCKY for $20 off your $199 Superpower membership.Shopify: Start your free trial at https://www.shopify.com/lucky Connect with Les: Ready to apply what you hear?

    Existing in a World Of Luck: Wilglory Tanjong's Formula for Alchemizing Everyday

    #356: Wilglory Tanjong doesn't wait for luck to show up. She builds it, asks for it, and stays ready to receive it. The founder of handbag brand Anima Iris is sitting down for a conversation that moves from grief to grit to greatness, and somehow makes all three feel like the same story. Wilglory opens up about leaving a six-figure corporate job at the start of the pandemic, why she calls business school "MBA school," and the importance of f*ck-up capital for women founders. And yes, she talks about the ongoing series where she's asking MacKenzie Scott for a billion dollars for Black women entrepreneurs, one video at a time. This episode is a masterclass in what it actually looks like to alchemize your own luck. Not the manifestation version. The version where you build the thing, ask for what you need, and keep going even when nobody handed you the blueprint. Press play if you're: Thinking about leaving a stable job to build something that's actually yoursCurious whether business school is worth it (Wilglory has thoughts)Building a business with little to no outside capital and need to hear you're not aloneSomeone who struggles to ask for help Grab your notes app for: Wilglory's take on what business school actually teaches you versus what it's marketed to teach youHer framework for networking with elite institutions without ever enrolling in oneWhy margin for error is a form of privilegeHow the Ambitious Girl Dinner Series started as a casual meetup and ended with Oprah in her commentsWhy she believes entrepreneurship, not waiting on outside saviors, is how real generational wealth gets built Episode Links: Follow Wilglory on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/wilgloryy/Shop Anima Iris: https://animairis.com/Read Start with Yourself by Emma Grede: https://bookshop.org/a/55347/9781668085486 Sponsors: Quince: Make your summer wardrobe feel easier.

    We Weren’t Lucky, We Were Prepared: Drea Nicole and Lex P Share Their Success Secrets

    #355: Luck isn’t something that happens to you. It’s something you build piece by piece, and today’s guests have done just that. I'm joined by Lex P and Drea Nicole, serial entrepreneurs, media personalities, and co-hosts of Pour Minds. We get into the $86 check that told them they were onto something, how they balance business and friendship, the beliefs at the root of the luck they’ve created, and why they both believe you can't get lucky until you learn how to clap for other people first. I think you're going to walk away thinking about the word "lucky" in a completely new way, which feels like exactly the point of this whole show. Press play if you're... Convinced everyone else's glow up came out of nowhere (it didn't, keep listening)Currently waiting for your moment instead of building toward itStill thinking about that one friend who got quiet on you the second things got goodNosy about the actual numbers behind turning a podcast into a real business Grab your notes app for… The real difference between getting lucky and being ready when opportunity shows upHow Pour Minds turned an $86 ad check into a fully self-funded, sold out tourThe friendship red flags Lex and Drea learned to spot the hard way, and the green flags to look for insteadWhy clapping for other people's wins is directly tied to unlocking your own Episode Links: Get your tickets to the Still Sippin’ Tour: https://www.pourminds.com/Subscribe to Pour Minds on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@DreaAndLexFollow Pour Minds on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/pour_minds/Follow Drea on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dreanicoleee/Follow Lex on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lex_p_/ Sponsors: Nutrafol: For a limited time, Nutrafol is offering our listeners $10 off your first month’s subscription and free shipping when you visit https://www.nutrafol.com and enter promo code BALANCEDLES.Monarch Money: Monarch is the personal finance app that tracks everything — accounts, investments, savings goals, and spending.

    You're Allowed to Let Go of the Plan You've Been Forcing

    #354: This month's solo episode is a little different — I walked into the studio with zero plan, and that felt pretty on brand for where I'm at right now. With the visibility series wrapped, solo episodes are back to being just me, unscripted, telling you the truth about what's going on. And the truth is: my life outside of work is genuinely thriving — three years in New York, a community I actually love, a summer that's off to a great start — while my career is a big puzzle I just haven’t been able to solve. Instead of faking it, I'm giving you the real, current-state version of where my head's at, and introducing what I'm calling my "lucky girl summer" — a season built around releasing instead of pushing, for once. What we're getting into: Why I'm trying a "lucky girl summer" — a season of letting go instead of grinding, and what that means when your whole identity has been built on work ethicThe honest split between my career and my personal life right now, and why burnout hits different when you haven't "made it" yetWhat rest and ease can look like when you genuinely can't afford to take your foot all the way off the gasRedefining luck — not as hitting one specific number, but as always finding a way to figure it out This episode is for you if… You've got one part of your life thriving and another part completely stuck, and you're tired of pretending everything's fine across the board.You've built your identity around hustle and work ethic and are starting to wonder what happens when that stops being enough.You grew up without a lot and are still figuring out how to carry that history into the person you're becoming.You're craving permission to not have a plan right now and to trust you'll figure it out anyway.You want a wider definition of luck — and success — than just hitting a number.
