In an online world dominated by the "need" for engagement, negative headlines soar above the positive and mundane happenings around us. I'm not familiar with the scientific reason, but I do know the human brain seems to be captivated by negativity and controversy. It creates a fascination, a reaction, and a response; so our news, media, social media, and conversations are often oversaturated with it.

However, statistics indicate the world isn't any more "bad" than it was in the past; we are just more aware of it. But just because we have access to the constant stream of negativity doesn't mean it's healthy for us or that we are meant to consume it. In fact, statistics say that we consume as much negativity in one day as our ancestors used to receive in their whole lifetime, and the human brain has not evolved to adjust to it. So it's no wonder that we live in a society suffering from depression, anxiety, doomscrolling, burnout, and so much more.

But we don't have to leave it at that! Science shows we can take steps to improve our happiness, regardless of what negativity surrounds us.

So I invite you to join me for the free 3-week Happiness Challenge. We start February 23, but you can join at any time. After the challenge is over, the content will still be available inside the Aligned Entrepreneurs Hive.

Tune into this episode to learn more about what to expect in the challenge.

I feel a lot like I'm coming back to business with a fresh start after about 2 years marked by burnout followed pregnancy and then maternity leave. I still have the same excitement and passion for my business, but as a work-from-home mom with a baby, my work schedule looks a bit different. And my planning process is no exception.

In this podcast episode, I dive into exactly what my slow, organic planning process is looking like for this year. If traditional planning doesn't resonate with, if you still haven't planned out your year, and/or you feel like you're too busy to spend time thinking about planning, I hope you are able to take away tangible steps that resonate with you so you can plan and set goals in a way that feels good to you and fits with your lifestyle needs.

We're already to the last episode of this series of podcasts inspired by video interviews from the Collin & Samir show. I hope you've found them thought-provoking, inspirational, and filled with value that you can use in your life and business.

This final episode is inspired by a discussion that was "just" between Collin and Samir - no guests. They were talking about Twitter becoming X and discussing what kind of content would and would not work well on that platform, and in this conversation, they brought up the concept of 'Forgettable versus Memorable Content,' an idea that peaked my interest... and of course, led to this episode!

So, what makes your social media content just another piece of content that folks are scrolling past, compared to content that resonates with folks so they remember it and take action as a result?

Let's dive in and talk all about it!

New and exciting changes for you are here!

In an effort to make my communities as accessible, generous, and helpful as I can, I've adjusted the Pattern Design Circle community membership, so it's now split into three communities:

1. The Creative Thread: a free community for knit and crochet pattern designers - and anyone who would like to collaborate with designers - to find resources, including calls for submissions, networking and business opportunities, and connecting with each other.
2. Pattern Design Circle: a paid community ($9/month) for knit and crochet pattern designers who would like to dive deeper into their designing, business, and/or marketing.
3. Aligned Entrepreneurs Hive: a paid community ($27/month) for creative entrepreneurs who want to dive deeper into their life and business to create a sustainable, fulfilling, happy, and impactful life.

You can absolutely be a member of all three, or just choose the community(ies) that best fits your needs right now.

Tune into this episode to learn more about what's inside each community!

I can't wait to see you inside the community!

I hope you absolutely loved the previous episode inspired by Jacob Collier's interview on the Collin & Samir Show, and that you're ready for part two!

While part one felt a bit like a motivational pep talk (or at least I hope it did - that was my intention!), in part two we're diving deeper into some of the realities of business ~ and Jacob's advice concerning fear and growth mindset.

As always, I hope you enjoy this chat and take away something valuable to implement in your life or business today.
