56. Online Business Owner Round Table - Advice, How We Started, Home Life & More! + A VERY Exciting Announcement!
When you run a business, especially when it's an online business, it's easy to find yourself feeling like you don't have much of a support system. You kind of have to get creative and find different ways to connect with other business owners alike.
10 of my online business friends decided to FINALLY meet up at a beautiful lakehouse in South Carolina back in May, and that's where we sat down and created today's podcast episode!
In this episode, we answered roundtable questions like, do you still get nervous when you get on video for your business, what do you enjoy doing outside of business, how do your spouses feel about your business, what does childcare look like, and more!

55. The Threads App! Is It Worth Trying Out? Should VAs and SMMs Be Charging Clients for Threads Services? Pros & Cons. Get the Scoop!
Are you tired of hearing about the new Meta app, Threads yet? Well, you should know about it if you're in business because it may (or may not) take off and become a way to help position you as a thought leader in your industry.
I'm sharing what it is, what the head of Instagram has been saying about the growth of it (and some features they're planning on adding to it), and what I've been seeing on it so far.
I also share some advice on ways you can start testing it out and providing value to your audience - because you get an automatic audience when you join!!
Also, should online service providers such as marketing professionals, social media managers, and virtual assistants charge clients for Threads services yet? I'm sharing my thoughts on that too.

Customer Reviews
Love it
I love listening to these episodes. Some are short and sweet and others dive in a little deeper into the topic so it’s perfect for when I’m short on time or have a lot of time. Kristen’s voice is so soothing to listen to. Things that I was stressed out about for my new business made sense when she explains it calmly lol. She is very knowledgeable with what she does and def one of the people that helped motivate me to start my business.
