This episode of The Art of Entrepreneurship is for anyone who feels like their own habits might be getting in the way of their success.

From overanalyzing and underpreparing to blaming others and letting fear call the shots, I’m walking through 10 bad habits that I’ve seen (because I’ve committed them myself!) that can hold you back at work and in life.

Make sure you tune in for a candid look at how to identify and start addressing these habits, plus tips for showing up as your best self—without burning out in the process.

This episode of The Art of Entrepreneurship is for anyone who’s struggling to get their brand to stand out in a sea of sameness—and wants to build something that actually resonates.

My guest today is Stephanie Roland, Accelity’s Brand & Marketing Director. Stephanie and I discuss how to identify your buyer personas, map the buyer’s journey, conduct stakeholder interviews, and find the “winning zone” that sets your brand apart from competitors. We also talk about why most brand messaging sounds the same—and how to fix it.

Make sure you tune in for practical tips on positioning your company, developing messaging that matters, and building a brand strategy that drives real results.

Stephanie is the Brand and Marketing Director at Accelity, specializing in brand strategy. She’s partnered with clients across non‑profit, B2C, and B2B sectors, and most of her B2B work—until recently—focused on B2B SaaS. Her core focuses include brand strategy, content strategy and advertising strategy, ensuring every campaign tells a compelling story and delivers results.

This episode of The Art of Entrepreneurship is for anyone who feels like they have to “earn” doing something nice for themselves.

I’ve been thinking a lot about how often we deny ourselves basic pleasures—rest, new clothes, time to just chill—because we feel like we haven’t worked hard enough to deserve them. In this short solo episode, I’m sharing how that mindset shows up in my own life, especially as a mom, business owner, and partner.

Make sure you tune in if you need a reminder (like I did) that you don’t have to justify taking care of yourself. You’re allowed to rest. You’re allowed to buy the damn clothes. You’re allowed to put yourself first.

• Podcast: Do you take care of yourself? No, really?
• Podcast: Take your PTO! What I learned from time away from my business
• Podcast: Stop being your own greatest enemy
