This is a super special episode because I am sitting down with 2 past guests of the Visionary Life Podcast, Krista Kolodziejzyk and Stephanie Long.

You're going to hear the story of how the 3 of us met on the show and I think you guys will really dig this discussion that we recorded at the very end of our retreat and self made mastermind that we hosted last week.

Jayd started her business while she was navigating postpartum depression.

She knew she needed some sort of creative outlet to help repair her brain, but wasn’t quite sure what that could be.

Listen to From Daycare Provider to Bead Empire: Jayd's Story of Building a Successful Business from Scratch to hear the FULL story. Jayd is going to Inspire You, Motivate You, and she is the most incredible example of being able to do ANYTHING you set your mind to.

If you’ve ever felt lost, overwhelmed, or confused - you’re going to love hearing Jayd’s story.

Darling Mimosa is a bright sparkling orange mimosa in a can. Made with Ontario wine and real orange juice. No preservatives or additives.

The idea for Darling Mimosa started with a few friends, hanging out in a kitchen, making brunch and realizing that there were no canned mimosas on the market!

After doing some research, they found that no one was making canned mimosas so they quickly got work.

Today, Darling Mimosa is inspiring you to Live Life on the Brightside!

We chat about :

• The concept of creating for an audience of one

• How easy to get caught up in creating content for an audience of a million people and feeling like you have to say everything perfectly.

• Focusing on the audience of one will help you find your voice and create better content that is more exciting to you.

• It’s important to stay consistent even if you don’t see great numbers come through quickly

As an entrepreneur, there are a million decisions that need to be made on a daily basis.

Some of these are small and insignificant (what should I post on social today), but others can have a major impact on the future of your business (aka when should I throw in the towel and call it quits on a business that isn’t working)

When you're faced with a big decision, it can be difficult to know what the right course of action is. This is where inner clarity comes in.

Taking the time to connect with your inner wisdom will help you to see the situation more clearly and make decisions that are in alignment with your values and goals.

inner clarity is not something that you can force or fake, but it is something that you can cultivate through practice. And this is the expertise of Intuitive Counselor, Colin Matthews.

In this week’s episode, I chat about the importance of avoiding desperate energy when working on building your business. I walk you through some examples on what that could look for your business. We dive deep into:

Midday Squares is a Canadian Snacking Chocolate Company based out of Montreal, founded by Jake Karls, Lezlie Karls, and Nick Saltarelli (yes, they are family!)

Sitting down with Midday Squares for an interview was a dream come true! I had followed their work for years, I snack on their products daily, and I eat up their content because it's so damn good. They are leaders in the food and bev space not only because of a high quality product, but also because they are transparently sharing the behind the scenes of building their business: documenting the highs (aka getting listed in walmart) and the lows (spending 2 years and tons of money to develop a new flavour, only to have it flop).

It was an honor to sit down and record this episode LIVE in Toronto with a studio audience.

I know that our conversation will be one that you guys LOVE and many of you have been obsessed with MDS for years, like me, so I hope you enjoy this conversation!
