Sometimes the best thing for your business is to ignore what others tell you to do and to simply go with your gut. But, how do you know when those choices are appropriate and when they will cause you problems? How do you find out what you want, what audience to serve, and how to do it being yourself? Brian Burkard asked me to come on his show, The Marketer's Mindset, to talk about this and a lot more. Since we had more time than a typical podcast, I was able to share a lot of details and exercises that you can do.

Stephanie,
I loved your interview on The Markers Mindset! I identified with so many points you mentioned on there about living and acting out your true authentic self within your business. I began this journey last year and it was life changing. I wish I would have discovered it sooner. Many thanks for the amazing work that you do!

Hi Lisa
Thanks for taking the time to listen to the show! Glad that you’ve found a way to bring authenticity into your business!
Brian Burkard says
I really enjoyed my podcast conversation with Stephanie. She is such a warm friendly person who is so easy to talk with and has a wealth of knowledge in business and personal development. Stephanie shared many great things in our conversation, but one thing that really resonated with me was when she talked about setting your intention for the day first thing in the morning. This allows you to be more in control of your reactions to life’s daily events. Stephanie further suggests that you journal about your experience each day and watch how you are improving or what you need to focus on. I will definitely be implementing this strategy in my daily routine!
Stephanie L H Calahan says
Thanks so much for having me on your show! We were able to cover a big amount in our time together. Glad you like the morning intention setting. I can’t wait to hear how it goes when you try it.
