We are wrapping up Season 2 of The Chick Show, and we are so humbled by and excited about how much our little Podcast has grown!

This week we are pulling back the curtain on what it takes to be a successful Podcaster. We tell you things we did right, the things we did wrong, and how you too can get started in this industry!

Grace and Leigh Ann met for coffee just to hang out and soon realized that they were both "shoulding" on themselves - beating themselves up about all of the things they "should" be doing but weren't. After a deep dive therapy session between two friends, they realized that they didn't actually need to be doing any of those things, but were instead being influenced by seeing others do it on social media.
They decided to stop the conversation, and continue it here on the Podcast. Today's episode is their raw and real conversation about how they are feeling as they stress and scroll.
Tune in to hear what they were doing wrong, and how they're going to fix it!

There's a new word in town ladies, and it's not the usual teen slang that none of us understand. Finally it's a word for busy women - Maycember! It's the term used to describe the month of May - just as busy as the holiday season but there are no presents at the end.
Graduations, Mother's Day, End of School Activities, Sports Playoffs, etc.
It's enough to drive a girl insane.
Tune in this week as we pretty much just unload about all of the crap going on this month. We promise to provide some comedic relief for those of you who are thisclose to losing your chic.

So you made the move to solely working for yourself - now what?
Many of us dream of owning our own business, and leaving the rat race of Corporate America. Others of us are stay-at-home moms who are transitioning back to the workforce. If you feel like that transition is a MAJOR chick show then this episode is for you!
Join us today as we talk about that "scratchy" period where you are navigating your new work life. Maybe it isn't as glamorous as you thought it would be, or maybe you are having trouble figuring out how to allocate your time. Leigh Ann left a successful Public Accounting job where she worked over 100 hours per week to all of a sudden having a wide open day. Grace was a busy stay-at-home mom who entered the workforce as a realtor.
Today we share our tips and support for those of you who are going through the same thing.

Hey all! It's Leigh Ann. I am begging you to listen to this week's episode. It's that significant. We have all seen how toxic social media can be, and how that toxicity can spill over into every day life. Have you ever considered quitting social media all together because of the heinous stuff you see? Has someone's online activity ever changed the way you feel about them in real life?
A few months ago I was grappling with something pretty horrific that happened online. I wanted a way to change my online space, and to help make social media more positive for everyone.
One day I did something that took less than 30 seconds, and it not only changed my entire day that day, but it made a huge difference to someone else in my life. I realized then that if I just did this 30 second exercise every day, that I could make a difference for the people that are in my space. I had no idea how much it would bless me in return.
I would be so honored if you would listen in and maybe take on this daily habit for yourself as well. I just know that we can make a big difference in the world if we all do =)

Have you ever done a goal poster or vision board and NOT hit the goal? We've been there! You probably see pictures online of the perfectly curated goal poster - beautiful photos, a collage with phrases like "you got this" or "this is your year" scattered about. You may have even done the old "paste your head on someone else's body" to visualize a physical trait.
Believe it or not there is a scientific reason why those types of posters don't work. The good news it that it's not you it's the poster! When you learn how your brain works and how to set goals properly, you can't help but achieve everything you set out to do.
Tune in this week to hear how, and then tag us on social with your goal posters so we can cheer for you!

Today we are joined by Katy Ursta, author of the book Direct Sales Done Right: A Proven Path to Stop Wasting Time & Start Making Meaningful Money! Katy started her direct sales business just to get the groceries paid for. After being on maternity leave with her son, Katy was diagnosed with Stage 4 Hodgkins Lymphoma. During this time she learned to focus on what's important, and that serving others is her passion. She was mocked for walking away from her teaching job to "do that direct sales thing" full-time. She went on to be a top producer in her company, and now teaches others to do the same. Katy is a big proponent of being a healthy CEO, and keeping your priorities intact as you grow a business.

This week the girls are talking about vacations! One of the perks of being an entrepreneur is unlimited vacation days and not having to ask a boss for days off.

Listen in as Grace & Leigh Ann share about their own struggles with vacations, the two different types of vacations they take, and hear about what happened to Leigh Ann on Malibu beach that made her change the way she thought about time off of work.
