B-minus work changes lives


Hey Reader!

I built a resource back in December. I spent a good amount of time on it, felt pretty proud of what I'd created. And then I opened it the next day to "just tweak one thing"

...and here we are three months later with it still sitting in my Canva folder collecting digital dust.

I recorded a short episode this week because I needed to say this out loud to myself as much as anyone: perfectionism is a filthy liar.

It feels like you're being thorough and responsible, but what it's actually doing is keeping you safe from judgment. If your work never goes out into the world, nobody can have opinions about it, and that feels pretty damn comfortable.

Except, the problem is your clients are out there right now looking for exactly the thing you already built for them. It's just sitting in your Canva folder helping no one.

The truth is, a B-minus solution that actually exists will do more for someone than the A-plus version you're still revising. That's what I talk about in this week's Bold Bite — a new mini-series I'm doing in the lead-up to season 4.

If this episode encourages you to push something live you've been sitting on for a while, hit reply and let me know! I'd love to see what you publish ♥️

Hey, check out this badass project 👀

Allison Flynn Becker is a nurse writer working on a book about the many twists and turns of an infertility journey. (If you know anything about my story, you know this project was near and dear to my heart — in fact, I was interviewed for a chapter of her book!). She needed an author website to attract agents and publishers, and we created her something that balances authority and warmth.

Boldly yours,

Hey Reader! How many times have you told yourself you just need to be more consistent with your content? That’s usually where the self-blame starts. If only you showed up more, posted more, made it more of a priority, then it would finally start working. But consistency (or lack thereof) is a symptom of a much larger problem. When content feels hard to create, hard to sustain, and hard to feel good about once it’s out in the world, something underneath is almost always missing: A clear sense...

Hey Reader! Picture this: It's Sunday evening, and you start to feel that familiar panic set in. You know you "should" be prepping content for the week, so you open Instagram with the best of intentions. Forty-five minutes later, you've scrolled past 74 reels, convinced yourself you have nothing original to say, and closed the app without posting anything. Meanwhile, you have a notes app full of half-finished ideas, a Google doc graveyard of things you meant to turn into content, and a brain...

Hey Reader! A couple months ago, I met with a long-term client for a little check-in. I mentioned something in passing about my podcast, and her response shocked me. "Oh, since when do you have a podcast?" Wait a hotdang minute! Don't I talk about my podcast so much that everyone wants me to shut up about it already? (Ahem... replace podcast with your offers/opinions/passions/business-in-general, and I bet you've had that very thought a million times before) This client of mine follows me on...
