Next time you need some inspiration to write an Instagram post or a newsletter, or even just have a tough conversation with someone in your life, I have a trick for getting your message across clearly. I want you to try writing yourself a letter from the perspective of the other person. What are their pain points? How has your product, offering, or actions affected them? Find a solution to each thing you can list out and write a letter back to them. I found that this exercise has helped me set boundaries, meet people with more compassion, and get really clear on what I’m responsible for. Try it out and tag me @loriharder on Instagram to let me know if this approach works for you!

Just like your investment portfolio, you want your friend group to be diverse. At this stage in our lives, Chris and I have realized that success doesn’t just mean being financially free. We want to prioritize family and friends, and bring more adventure and culture into our lives. We feel so lucky to have the network that we do, and we’ve gotten here by intentionally collecting people, celebrating what they bring to the table, and being actively involved in each other's lives. We talk about why you need to demand the best out of the individuals in your life and how to facilitate more equal energy exchanges.

I’m in one of the busiest seasons of my life right now, but I’m grounding myself by practicing gratitude for the stress and pressure that I’m facing daily. By reframing the language that I use around challenging things, I have a more positive outlook and I feel like I can take on anything. Experiencing anxiety is just a reminder that I care about my business, goals, future, and life in general. I’m sharing some of my go-to strategies for coping with stress in a more effective and healthy way, and challenging you to rethink how you deal with pressure.

Chris and I have always created what we wished existed, and masterminds are no exception. I just got back from a life-changing trip with two women that I formed a mini mastermind group with, and I wanted to break down how you can do the same. I explain where this idea came from, how we’ve built the container to do it, and the non-negotiables that we’ve set for this group. Chris and I also discuss why masterminds are crucial for both personal and business growth, and how to take the first step to create or join one today.

I recently caught up with Aleen Dreksler, the CEO and Co-founder of Betches, to discuss all things business scaling, launching into new verticals, and growing as a leader. What started off as a satirical blog for millennial women is now a massive multimedia platform and entertainment company, but Aleen and her co-founders have stayed true to their voice and community through it all. Aleen highlights her hiring strategy, how she approaches challenging conversations, and tools for shifting out of the scrappy entrepreneurial mindset and into her role as CEO. We also chat about the latest Betches venture, Faux Pas canned cocktails, and other projects Aleen is currently working on.

When you start living authentically in every aspect of your life, you’ll magnetize the right people and opportunities into your orbit. This isn’t always an easy and graceful process, but I promise that it’s worth it. When I look back on times when I was feeling stuck and insecure, it’s because I wasn’t allowing my true self to be seen. I share some examples of how I’ve worked through self-doubt, found safety in my authentic self, and experienced amazing rewards for living my truth.

I always say that I’m a graduate of “Google University” because instead of giving up when I don’t know something, I put it right into my search bar and go down the rabbit hole. Everytime we tell ourselves that we can’t do something or don’t have the resources, that’s the exact moment when we strip ourselves of our power. In today’s episode, I share my favorite exercise for formulating questions and discovering answers. I promise that when you start to feel confident in your ability to get inquisitive and figure stuff out, that’s when success starts to compound.

I just got back from the Powerhouse Women event and it was amazing. I had so many moments where I had tears in my eyes watching others rise and be the person that they came here to be. It was fun and it was inspiring. One speaker stood out to me with something she said, so I came home and immediately shared it with Chris and it is what we are talking about in today’s episode. Jasmine Star blew my mind when she said “Overwhelm is the abundance of everything you ever wished and prayed for coming in all at once”.

I am back in my home in Arizona and I am so excited because I am one day away from speaking on one of my best friend's stages: Powerhouse Women. Lindsey Schwartz puts on this event every single year, and this year is the biggest event that she has done yet, which makes me feel a little nervous about how many people I will be talking to when I am on stage.
I have my stage tricks up my sleeve that have always helped me, and in today’s episode, I want to share them with you. I've been to a lot of different coached speaking events, and I've had speaking coaching myself, and I've practiced, I've made myself go and do it and get the experience and now I want to share that wisdom learned with you.
