SolePower

Woohoo! It's summer! Time for pools, picnics and the park! SolePower is taking a vacation. We've worked hard this last year to put out 50+ episodes - we're ready for a little down time. Makes perfect sense - Cheryl is moving over the summer and I could use a little relaxation and laying low. We encourage you to do the same! Take time for yourself and do the things you want over the summer. Email us and tell us what you're up to this summer. We'd love to hear.

Today's guest on SolePower is Samantha the plant witch! Ooh, how cool does that sound? Samantha Brandt, owner of Moon & Hare, talks to us about plant spirits, herbal teas and spirit guides and we're riveted! After spending her childhood being sick with various respiratory conditions, Samantha tried herbal remedies to see if they helped her. News flash - they did! Samantha is offering SolePower listeners a 20% discount with the code word "SOLSTICE." Find Samantha at https://www.moonandhare.shop to get your herbal fix. Samantha spends her days walking in the woods, tending the plants in her garden and making herbal products in her kitchen.

One of the biggest issues we see with clients is lack of community. As women solopreneurs, we often work in silos and it's not as easy to meet people as it is in the corporate world. You have to be deliberate about it as a small business owner. But how? How do you find your tribe? Who do you want in your inner circle? We'll answer those questions in this episode - PLUS bonus content - we also talk about the Buy Nothing group and purging your house! https://buynothingproject.org/ SolePower podcast is hosted by Angela Jorden (angelajordencoaching.com), and Cheryl Burke (resettingjoy.com).
