    From Capital Murder to Custom Rhinestone Suits: A Chat with Miranda Deaton of Velvet Outlaw | Episode 94

    A refreshingly honest conversation about following your gut instincts to build a brand you love with Miranda Deaton - founder of Velvet Outlaw and Velvet Out Paws. Miranda’s journey is as unexpected as it gets: she went from working on capital murder cases to building a thriving slow fashion brand full of rhinestones, fringe, and unapologetic self-expression. We dive into what burnout really looks like, the rollercoaster of building a brand that actually feels aligned, and what happens when you chase success… and end up somewhere you didn’t want to be. This is a must-listen for any business owner who’s ever felt overwhelmed, creatively off-track, or unsure whether to keep pushing or pivot. Miranda shares her own messy, magical middle and the mindset shifts that helped her realign with her purpose, get back to her creative roots, and rebuild a business that actually feels good. What You’ll Hear:How Miranda went from the courtroom to custom fashion designThe burnout that forced her to make a bold life changeWhy listening to your intuition matters more than revenue goalsHow she accidentally launched a successful pet accessory biz (and what happened next)The expensive (and relatable) lessons she learned through wholesaleWhy it’s okay to stop—even when something is going wellHow she’s redefining success in year three of business ABOUT VELVET OUTLAW: Velvet Outlaw is a queer owned brand focused on sustainability and fringe! They upcycle clothing and rework each piece by adding chain stitching, fringe and/or rhinestones.

    Overcoming Fear of Success: Why You Might Be Holding Back | Episode 93

    What if I told you aren’t feeling stuck because you don’t know what to do - you’re stuck because you’re likely scared of what happens when it actually works? In this episode, we’re chatting about the role that we play in the success of our business - not as a guilt trip and not as pressure to “do more”, but as the mindset that wakes you up and reminds you that you hold the reins over your business results. We dive deep into why success feels risky - more hustle, more visibility, more vulnerability - and why, sometimes, your greatest sabotage is your own fear of what you could become. But what if you leaned in instead of backing off? Today, we’re exploring the mindset shift that changes everything: - Taking radical responsibility without shame - Spotting subconscious fear of success sabotaging your goals - Why stepping up your game isn’t always easy, but it’s worth it - Real strategies to face what you're avoiding, without burning out Pull up a chair, let’s unpack this together.

    The Mindset Shift To Redefine Success (for YOU) | Episode 92

    Feel like you’re deep in the mid-year haze, wondering what happened to all that clarity you had back in January? This episode is your permission slip to hit pause, take stock, and redefine what success actually looks like for you right now. In this solo episode, we’re chatting about why the halfway point of the year can feel so disorienting, and how to use it to your advantage. This is not about reviving those dusty goals you set in January. It’s about checking in, being honest with yourself, and making sure the goals you're chasing still actually feel right. We’re walking through reflective prompts, redefining success (your version, not your competitors’), and realigning your business so it supports your life - not the other way around. Your goals are allowed to evolve. And when you get clear on what matters most right now, you give yourself the freedom to finish the year feeling aligned, focused, and fulfilled. Here’s what you’ll take away from this episode: - Why “goal haze” happens mid-year and how to break through it - How to redefine success based on your current season - not past expectations - The difference between chasing shiny objects vs. following your intuition - Journal prompts to reset your focus and get real about what’s working (and what’s not) - How to set aligned, achievable goals for the rest of the year - The importance of leaving space for the unexpected (hello dream opportunities!)

    Leveraging YouTube to Grow Your E-commerce Brand | Episode 91

    YouTube feels...intimidating, right? It’s long-form. It’s searchable. And it’s one more platform to think about. But what if YouTube could actually simplify your content strategy—and do the heavy lifting for your product-based business? This week, I’m joined by YouTube educator and marketing strategist Stephanie Kase.

It’s about building strategic, evergreen content that drives long-term growth.  In this episode, we talk about:Why YouTube is an untapped goldmine for product-based businessesHow to humanize your brand and bring storytelling into your contentThe secret to making content once and repurposing it everywhereWhat YouTube’s algorithm actually favors (hint: it’s not perfection!)How to plan and structure videos so they’re engaging and evergreenWhy creating a personal brand doesn’t mean being “the face” of your biz ABOUT STEPHANIE: Stephanie Kase is an online marketing coach and content creator.
