This week, on Raise Your Hand Say Yes, I was thrilled to talk with Emily McDowell. Not only is Emily my most favorite stationery designer EVER (and this is not an honor I bestow lightly!), she is also my friend. (Yep, I'm a lucky duck!) On this episode, Emily talks about her balance of creative/administrative work (you're gonna be surprised!), how her 10-year career in advertising contributed to her success in the stationery industry, what to think about when it comes to branding your business, why avoiding trends is a great thing and Amy Schumer.  I'd say this episode is RYHSY gold. And I hope you love it!  Emily, you are a gem!

Oh, the hustle. We hear it all the time - you have to work hard to win big, but make sure you have work-life balance, and don't forget about self care, and la;ksdjf;oicuxfewr. And which messages are we supposed to take to heart? The ones that tell us to chill the eff out or the ones that tell us we have to go all in and work our tails off to become successful in this world? Both. And neither.  This week on the podcast, I sat down with small business strategist and coach for creative entrepreneurs, Cyndie Spiegel, to talk about the hustle - the good, the bad, and the ugly. Cyndie at I met at ALT in January (and we'll both be back there to speak next month!) and hit it off immediately. I adore her and knew that she had to be on the show.  We also talked about the leap and the net will appear adage, how to know it's time to make a change, boundaries, and what stepping up your game really looks like for most creative entrepreneurs. If you're interested in making a change in your life or have been feeling a pu

Fear. Doubt. Inner critics. They are something WE ALL deal with. Every single one of us. And yet, they make us feel so alone and isolated. Well, I say not anymore! In this week's episode of the podcast, I'm flying solo and talking about how to step beyond fear into your Most Important Work - that work that keeps you up at night, that work you can't stop thinking about, that work you know you were meant to do. That work that you usually put off because there's a voice in your head asking Who do you think you are?  Yep. That work. And that voice. You DO have a choice of how to react to your fear. Listen in to hear how you can make that choice as easy as possible for yourself. PS. It's time for the 3rd annual Multi-Passionate Must Haves sale and I'm thrilled that my program More Shenanigans Please is included among the 26 products by 28 expert contributors worth $1,730 - for only $97! This bundle was designed specifically for those of you who have a LOT of different interests, projects, and creative pursu

I had a blast talking with Molly Gilbert of Dunk & Crumble for today's episode of the podcast!   We talked about all of the #raiseyourhandsayyes moments that Molly's had in her life that led her away from the life of a looks-good-on-paper consultant to culinary school to starting a blog, moving across the country, and writing my new favorite cookbook Sheet Pan Suppers. We also talk about the value of ease and how things that are simple can still be valuable. I repeat: things that are simple can still be valuable. (I think I need to get this one tattooed on my forehead!) This episode is fuuuulll of life lessons. Chock full! Molly, thank you so much! I can't wait to hang out with you in my kitchen and cook for you!   Show Notes: Connect with Molly: Blog | Instagram | Twitter Molly's cookbook Sheet Pan Suppers Liddabit Sweets Molly's Podcast (find it on itunes here)

Ah, how I love Jen Louden. I first met Jen a few years ago at WDS after my Teahouse studio-mate Stef had told me, "Jen Louden is there. You have to meet her and convince her to come teach at Teahouse." So, me being me, I saw her talking to a mutual friend, walked up and introduced myself, "Hi. I'm Tiffany. I hear you're awesome. I have a workshop space in Berkeley and we'd love for you to come teach there." Mysterious, I am not. And, lo and behold, that #raiseyourhandsayyes moment led to Jen coming to teach at Teahouse. Huh, isn't it amazing how sometimes you actually do get what you ask for? Right. It can be super simple if you let it. This week, I got to talk to Jen all about getting vulnerable. Which is a hot topic these days and a word that gets tossed about all the time, so I wanted to dig into what vulnerability really means and how you can tap into your own. It's all about getting started, and I love Jen's take on it. We also talk about what to do when your creative work feels hard and when to dig in y

Ahh! I was so excited to interview Janelle Hanchett for this week's podcast episode. So excited.  When I found out I was pregnant with twins, I immediately dove into Google (don't do that!) and found myself going down the Rabbit Hole of Crazy that is websites about pregnancy and expecting and twins and all of that. There is so much information that made me feel nervous and anxious and terrible.  And then, one day, I stumbled upon Janelle's blog, Renegade Mothering, and felt like I had found my way home. Finally! Someone who spoke my language when it came to pregnancy and kids and parenting and family. I then found myself going down the Rabbit Hole of Awesome that is Janelle's blog and her humor, perspective, and honesty.  This week, Janelle and I talk about SO MUCH including facing your discomfort and doing your work in spite of your fear, what Janelle learned from her alcoholism about facing your failure, what to do with the haters in the comment section, and how to tell your truth through writing. I also lo

I was so excited to have Elise Blaha Cripe back on the show! This week, we talked all about goal-setting and getting things done. Elise is a MASTER at setting (and sharing) her goals and I was excited to chat with her about the practical steps of how she gets things done and how her business (and goals!) has evolved over time. We also got to talk about two of Elise's bigger projects: Make29 and her Get to Work Book (amazing!) and how these projects have played into each other and what she's learned about everything. And, a conversation about goals and doing the work wouldn't be complete without diving into a discussion about fear and comparisons and all that good stuff. We covered a lot in this conversation! Elise, thank you SO MUCH! It's always a treat to be able to share time with you!  **100 Rejection Letters** - Registration open through 10/31/16   Show Notes: Connect with Elise: Website | Blog | Instagram | Twitter The Get To Work Book | Instagram | the walk-through video Elise’s Make29 project E

I was thrilled to talk with Monica McCarthy this week for the podcast! I've known Monica for a few years and have been following her career as she's gone through so many entrepreneurial iterations and is currently the Experience Impressario for Holstee. (If you're curious about what an Experience Impressario does, we'll cover that!) On this episode, Monica and I talked all about what she learned about risk from being an actress, how she was able to let go of the solopreneur dream and get a day job (gasp!) and how she's followed her crazyfaith to her own raise your hand say yes moments. It's a good one!  Monica, it was so wonderful having you on the show!

Oooh, you guys. I've been dreaming of having Amy Tan on the show since it's inception, and I'm excited to finally bring you this episode. I met Amy a few years ago at my first Craftcation (and where I'm speaking this weekend!) and was blown away by how cool and sweet and smart and lovely she is.  Amy is a scrapbooking superstar but started out with her own clothing company. Through her experiences running her own clothing company, becoming a scrapbooking guru, and figuring out what works, Amy has learned a LOT and I love talking to her about all of it. Tune in to find out how Amy found her creative voice, what happens when her ego gets in her way (and how she bypasses that), and how she's created this magical life for herself.  Amy, I'm such a fan and can't wait to spend some time with you at Craftcation. You're gonna get a great big hug! Thank you for being awesome!  PS. Thinking about applying for It's Business Time? Applications close Friday and there are currently on 3 spots left, so don't delay!  Show No

I am such a big fan of Meg Worden and was thrilled to have her on the show. To me, Meg is the Queen of Owning It which becomes quickly apparent if you spend any time on her blog at all (I highly recommend that you do!).  In this episode, Meg and I talk about so many things - defining yourself as an entrepreneur, Meg's time in federal prison and how she's owned her experience, the power of telling your story and embracing vulnerability. Meg also shares ways that you can get started in telling your own story and embracing your experiences.  Meg, thank you! You are such and inspiration to me and having you on the show was such a treat.  Show Notes: Connect with Meg: Website | Blog | Instagram | Twitter Man's Search for Meaning by Viktor Frankl Renegade Mothering Hannah Marcotti
