    149. What's the Worst That Could Happen? Pushing Past Fears Around Podcast Guesting with Melissa Burch

    If you've been a listener of this podcast for some time, you've likely heard me talk about the power of podcast guessing and other podcast collaborations. Whether or not you have a podcast of your own, guesting on other podcasts is something we should all be adding to our marketing plan.
    I'm excited to welcome Melissa Burch, founder and host of Annotated ELA, on the podcast today to share her experience with podcast guesting. Melissa shares how, despite having her own show, the thought of guesting on other podcasts was really nerve-racking. She also shares the fears she had about guesting, the 3 things that helped her push past them, and how doing so has helped her grow her podcast and build new relationships.
    And if you need some support, don't forget to grab my mini-course, Guesting For Educators!

    147. Storytelling in Your Podcast Episodes & Email Marketing: How Do You Do It?! with Megan Wisdom

    147. Storytelling in Your Podcast Episodes & Email Marketing: How Do You Do It?! with Megan Wisdom

    A couple of summers ago, my husband and I were out on our friend's boat, and he wanted to try wakesurfing. And after a few failed attempts, he asked our friend how to do it. Their reply? "You just stand up!" And we always laugh about this because it was literally the least helpful response ever.
    This has probably happened to you before; maybe a friend or a colleague makes something look or sound so easy, but in reality, you have no idea how to do it yourself. And in the world of online business, this makes me think of when people tell us to incorporate storytelling in our content. Megan Wisdom is here today to talk all about why storytelling is so important in our marketing and ways that we can use storytelling on our podcasts and in our email marketing.
    After listening, tag Megan and me on Instagram to let us know that you are listening! You can find Megan @meganwisdomwrites and me @podcastingforeducators.

    145. Here's How I'm Planning for Maternity Leave (and Getting Ahead in Podcast Content)

    145. Here's How I'm Planning for Maternity Leave (and Getting Ahead in Podcast Content)

    If you haven't heard me talk about this already, I am currently pregnant and due with our second daughter on April 22nd. Soo many of you have asked me, "Are you going to take leave?" And the answer is HELL YES. My experience with my first maternity leave was when I was still in the classroom, so I didn't have a choice in how long I stayed home with my first daughter.
    But now that I have my own online business, things are going to look a lot different. So today, I'm talking you through how I'm planning for maternity leave when it comes to client work, my online course and digital product side of my business, and my podcast. I'm also sharing some tips from YOU all when planning for an extended leave as an entrepreneur.
