6: Consistency – Why Do Things You Don’t Want To Do?
All day I’ve been arguing with myself: maybe you can skip writing today. Maybe it can be 100 Blog Posts in 100 Weekdays. It’s Saturday, after all. Don’t you deserve a break? Why do things you don’t want to do? It makes me realize how much I balk at consistency in myself… while resenting inconsistency […]
5: Are You Good Enough Today?

1: 100 Blog Posts in 100 Days
The idea for this 100 blog posts experiment came last week, during Ali Brown’s I.P. Retreat workshop. (Yes, I just said that. I attended my first Ali Brown workshop last week! I need to pause to let that truly sink in. I’ve been following Ali’s podcast for years, imagining attending her events and working with her […]
You can Crush Your Goals without Feeling Bad and Permission to Stop Using Instagram with Chant’l Martin
In The Paradox of Choice (the Most Watched TED Talk by me) psychologist Barry Schwartz argues that too much choice leaves us paralyzed and dissatisfied.

The Ultimate Guide to Surviving Entrepreneurial Meltdown
This article was originally posted on November 29th, 2016, by One Woman Shop You know that feeling: Your thoughts are flying at 90 miles per hour. It’s new business ideas, it’s deliverables, it’s remember-to-text-your-friend-tomorrow-it’s-her-birthday. It’s mental hyperventilation. The thoughts are going so fast you can barely complete one before the next comes zooming along. When […]
