1014. How To Get Your Power Back

Where in your life are you waiting for someone to validate your worth? I did that for so many years until I realized that I could take back my power by cutting out the middleman and creating new containers for myself. In this episode, I look back at how I got started on my entrepreneurial journey and continue to use lessons from those early years in my business now. Don’t expect someone to anoint you 一 it’s up to you to fulfill your dreams.

1013. Are You Busy Or Are You Misaligned?

Do you find yourself saying ‘yes’ to things because you think it’s the right thing to do, but it’s not necessarily aligned with your goals? We’ve definitely fallen into that cycle before and it always leads to frustration, overwhelm, and burnout. In this episode, we talk about how we’ve managed to shift out of that mindset and instead focus on things that bring us joy while moving the needle forward.

1012. How To Pivot In Your Career With Amy Porterfield

Amy Porterfield is one of my go-to friends when I want advice about how to make the right pivot and become a better business leader. She’s an online marketing expert who poured all of her wisdom into her new book, Two Weeks Notice, which is a step-by-step guide on how to transition out of your current job and start thinking like a business owner. 

In our conversation, Amy walks us through some of the major takeaways from the book, including how to find your ‘sweet spot’ business idea and set yourself up for success. We look back on our scrappy beginnings and talk about how that process helped us discover what ideas were truly aligned and worth going all-in on.  

Because I think everyone should have this book, we’re giving away a copy to the first 10 people who share this episode on Instagram and tag @amyporterfield and @loriharder. Don’t forget to let us know your biggest takeaway from this episode!
