As we approach the end of the first quarter of 2022, I know I can speak for a lot of us to say that the year may not have started quite as we imagined. If you are feeling a little (or a lot) out of control, you are not alone. You don’t have to stay there. Instead of casting all your hopes aside, this is my invitation to you to Reflect and Reset.  In this episode I am going to give you insights to help you hit the reset button and take that next right step. We are only a couple of months into the year. It is absolutely possible to take steps towards living the life of your dreams and today’s episode will help you do just that.

My guest in this episode is a success by anyone’s standards. Kate Toon is an award-winning entrepreneur, digital educator, straight-talking SEO and copywriting coach, author and podcaster, and a very entertaining and in-demand speaker. She has more than two decades of experience in all things advertising and content and her mission is to help other business humans create their own version of online success. There were a tonne of things that Kate and I could have talked about - after all she is the Queen of SEO and Copywriting. But with the spirit of this podcast being about what it’s REALLY like to build a successful business, we both agreed to talk about being at the summit. The stories of the climb to get there and what happens when you reach the top.  Kate is a completely open book and speaks honestly about how she has built a successful business that has weathered many storms. Hilarious and honest to the core, after listening to this conversation you are going to love Kate as much as I do.

Something happens every year around this time and I call it The February Freakout. It's at exactly this time of year that our wheels start to wobble - or fall off completely. That limitless feeling that you had in January starts to fade and you start questioning the brilliant ideas you had over the holidays. You abandon good intentions and big goals you set for yourself as real life gets in the way.  The impact of a quiet January might be impacting your business, the Christmas bills are coming in, client and family demands are starting to overwhelm you and panic sets in.  This is when my phone starts running hot from clients and former clients needing to be talked down off a ledge. Hence The February Freakout. Are you feeling it?  If you are, you are not alone. This is happening to women all around you right now.  In this episode, I’m sharing some strategies that you can implement today to help ease your February Freakout.
