If you’ve ever felt like you’re already behind in the world of AI (or like you need to try every new tool just to keep up) you’re not alone! 

In this episode, we introduce the idea of slow-learning AI: a calm, intentional approach to staying curious without getting overwhelmed. We share specific strategies we’re using to create boundaries, focus our energy, and integrate tools that actually serve our business goals (instead of just distracting us with new shiny objects).

Don’t bury your head in the sand if you are curious about AI. Take a few of our practical tips from this episode to create constraints and put YOU in the driver’s seat of educating yourself on your own timeline.

Are digital product launches dead? Not at all! But in 8 years, we’ve noticed a few changes and we wanted to share what we’ve seen firsthand. 

How many sales emails matter? Do you actually need launch bonuses? Is there value in using AI to write sales page copy or does it sound too… AI?

Here’s what we cover in this ep:

• Why pre-marketing matters more than ever (and how to start sooner)
• The power of “carrots” and launch events to drive urgency
• Why inboxes are cluttered and what to do about it
• How specificity and social proof are becoming non-negotiable
• Why it's easier than ever to execute a launch (doesn’t mean sales are easy)

Whether you’re prepping for a big product launch or rethinking how you sell altogether, this episode will help you show up with more intention, strategy, and confidence.

After six incredible years, we’ve decided to retire our flagship program, WAIM Unlimited (after one FINAL upcoming launch). In this episode, we’re walking you through exactly why we’re making this sizable change. 

Retiring WAIM Unlimited didn’t come from burnout or panic… but from clarity, alignment, and a desire to move into our next chapter with intention. We’ve been business coaches for 72 months and we’re excited to take things in a new direction!

Here’s what we cover in this ep:

• What a final enrollment will look like (May/June 2025)
• The real (and nuanced) reasons we’re making this shift—from changing buyer behavior to our own creative evolution
• What this means for current WAIM members (spoiler: NOT MUCH!)
• What the next 12 months will look like for us, including our final launch and plans for parental leave
• A glimpse at what we’re pivoting toward in 2026—and why we’re genuinely excited to build from the ground up again

This episode is for anyone who’s questioning a long-standing offer or wondering if it’s time to let go of something that no longer fits. Your business can grow with you… if you let it.

💬 If you have questions you want to ask us about this decision to retire WAIM Unlimited, send them through our contact page.

This episode will serve as a Part 1 of 2 recap of our year of travel! We visited 10 different countries in Europe (30 total cities) and we wanted to go over the UPs, the DOWNs, what we would do differently, what advice we would give, how it affected our relationship, how we changed as people, and some business advice tossed in the mix!

There is soooo much good stuff to get through in this episode and we hope you enjoy everything we shared. Watch your podcast feed for the second episode of our travel recap where we share our top 5 memories, top 5 restaurants, and our top Airbnbs/hotels we stayed in.

Besides just having a good time hearing us chat about full-time travel life, we hope you get some value out of this episode and maybe it helps you create a plan for a dream you have in your future!

SCHEDULING NOTE: We will share our part 2 travel recap episode on Dec 8 and then we will be taking a break from the podcast until Jan 26. Thanks for listening and we’ll be back before you know it.

Want to know some of our favorite things from our first two weeks living in our new home in Portugal? In this episode, we share 10 things we have gratitude for in a format that we hope is fun to listen to.

At the time of recording and sharing this ep, it’s Thanksgiving for our listeners who celebrate in the U.S. which means it’s the perfect time to express your own gratitude! However, you may not celebrate OR don’t live in the U.S., so how about using the week you listen to this to sit down and share your own gratitude list?

Feel free to “Bring 5” in a journal, with a friend, partner, or pull the family together and make some sort of game out of it!

Keep your ears peeled (ew, weird) for episodes very soon that feature this “Bring 5” format related to our year of full-time travel.

If you love podcast episodes breaking down a big moment in life, well friends, this one is for you! We share all our thoughts, feelings, and logistics of getting from the U.S. back to Portugal and accepting the keys to our new house.

We’ll take you through the first morning after 3 days of travel, our initial emotions, what we’ve been experiencing right away, and then we’ll share some fun stories from our first shopping adventures and a funny/low moment trying to find a lunch restaurant in a new area.

We are so excited to be in our new place, but we’re also wrestling with so many conflicting thoughts as our brains still think we’re traveling and going to be on the move. Hope you enjoy us sharing everything from our first week in the Silver Coast of Portugal.

As always, thank you for listening and if you have any questions about moving to Portugal you want us to answer shoot us an email at hello@wanderingaimfully.com.

In this week’s ep, we break down the entire visa process we’re going through to eventually end up with a residency permit (which lasts two years, renewable for another 3 years) and then hopefully becoming dual citizens in the U.S. and the EU [after 5 years]!

Whether you’re planning to move to Portugal or anywhere else in the world, maybe hearing us break down this entire process can help you with a big change in your life?? Or, it’ll just be entertaining to hear us go through all the silly steps.

This week, we wanted to share some thoughts and feelings about our upcoming move into our new home. If you somehow missed the announcement, we are moving to Portugal and living in the Silver Coast starting in November (2022).

We chat about the slower pace of European life, the Portuguese culture we’re excited to explore, the new community we hope to build (friends!), as well as getting back into routines and having all the same STUFF every day of our lives.

Hope you enjoy this ep and maybe it’ll inspire you to make a big move in your life too??

✈️ Our pramvel takes you through our FINAL country we visited on our (almost) year of full-time travel: Switzerland! And wow, what a country to end our trip with. We spent two weeks in one of the most beautiful countries in the world and we navigated a flu as well as Caroline’s Mom having a dream trip with us!

We want to be 100% transparent with you: The 20-hour rule is NOT something we came up with. We watched Josh Kaufman’s TEDx talk and realized this concept was very applicable to how we’ve learned or adapted to new things, especially one thing this year: Caroline’s flight anxiety.

🎥 Watch Josh Kaufman’s TEDx talk: https://youtu.be/5MgBikgcWnY

While the super-popular 10,000-hour rule has merit, we think the 20-hour rule makes a lot more sense and is a lot more realistic for the majority of us who just want to learn a new skill or educate ourselves in some way. But, it’s not just about doing something for 20 hours, it’s about deliberate, intentional practice. You may not become an “expert” in 20 hours (or 45 minutes per day for 30 days), but who actually needs to become an expert at anything these days? Becoming “good enough” at most things can get you REALLY far! Trust us, we know!

Hope you enjoy this convo and if you have ONE skill you’re trying to learn right now and going to put the 20-hour rule to the test, email us and let us know about it.

✈️ Our pramvel takes you through our second trip to one of our favorite places this year, Ballybunion, Ireland. We had a ton of fun staying in the modern beach house again in this tiny Irish town. Hope you enjoy our chat about it!

We came up with this marketing bridge concept back in 2018 and it’s really just another way of explaining the customer’s journey. Lately, we’ve been trying to simplify that marketing bridge concept even further so that anyone who feels stuck or like their product isn’t selling or their business isn’t thriving can just look at this simple 4-part marketing structure and diagnose where the journey is breaking down for their customers.

We’ve used this framework time and time again to sell our various products and services during our entrepreneurial journey. Early on, we had no idea we were consciously doing it! But these days, especially with our Wandering Aimfully Unlimited program, it’s been super helpful to think through this 4-part process and see the areas we can improve and experiment with.

These are the 4 parts of this plan we cover in this episode:

• Awareness (Exposure)
• Interest (Mini-Solution)
• Consideration (Trust)
• Purchase (Value)

Give this episode a listen and let us know if you have some ah-ha moments about YOUR customer marketing journey and what “gates” you might need to start working on today!

If your business is anything like ours and it’s starting to feel a bit overstuffed and overwhelming for your customers (with TOO much good content), it’s time to think about simplification! We did this two years ago when we created the Un-Boring Business Roadmap. And, we’re feeling called to simplify again in 2023 with our monthly coaching sessions.

Next year, our goal will be to focus on 12 core topics for online business. Things like Marketing, Email List Building, Audience Growth, Selling, etc. These are topics we’ve already covered, but we want to focus each month on our “greatest hits” (and tips!) around each of those topics instead of just talking about a bunch of random topics and overstuffing our coaching catalogue.

Is it time for you to zoom the lens out on your business and start simplifying things a bit so your customers get value faster? We feel that way and we also know that’s just part of being in business for many years.

This week, we’re channeling our inner Ross Geller (PIVOT!) and talking about how to actually go about making a big shift in your business. Whether you’re trying to go from clients to digital products, digital products to physical goods, or any other pivot in between, we’re here to help.

There are two key factors that need to be taken into account when pivoting and that’s what we chat about… that… and Jean Claude Van Damme’s (JCVD) incredible ability to do the splits. Trust us, the reference will make sense! We hope! 😅😅

✈️ Our pramvel takes you through a short stop in Dublin where we had our latest flight of the year and someone REALLY needed some chicken finger/tenders. While in Dublin, Jason got a new face, and then we met up with part of his family for a week in Clarecastle. We stayed at an amazing place and did day trips to the Cliffs of Moher, Galway, Ennis, Doolin, and various other places in the northeast of Ireland.

In online business, there’s this idea that if you don’t have an original idea you can’t succeed. We’d argue that ALL ideas are unoriginal at this point and that choosing to follow a well-worn idea is actually a GOOD THING.

You should 100% put your own twist and uniqueness into everything you do, but you may very well want to pick a crowded space, an “overdone” topic/idea, or create a product/service that lots of folks are already creating. The reason you want to go in this direction is there’s already a demand (aka paying customers) for what you’re building and that’s hugely important to achieving the goal of owning a profitable business.

Listen this week as we explore why original ideas aren’t that important, and we’d posit, are actually harder to pull off and take too much effort.

✈️ Our pramvel takes you through our week in Puglia, Italy! This week was truly a highlight week of our entire year of travels this year. We were absolutely surprised by how much we loved the bigger city of Bari and then made our way to the countryside to stay at a super unique hotel. After an amazing destination wedding with all the bells, whistles, and marching bands, we stayed at an Airbnb that truly knocked our socks off and was way more than we originally expected when booking.

Our latest WAIM Unlimited launch was smaller than expected, but instead of panicking, we’re using it as a chance to adapt, experiment, and pivot. 

In this launch recap episode, we’re breaking down:

• The details of our Spring 2025 launch (amidst first trimester, new 6-month option, and our very minimal marketing effort)
• Why we think sales were lower this time (hello, economic uncertainty, changing buyer behavior, and declining web traffic)
• What we’re doing differently moving forward (getting back on social, refining our offers, and leaning into AI tools for creators)
• Our plans for WAIM Unlimited, Calm Launch Formula, and where we see our business evolving for the rest of 2025

If you’ve ever had a launch that didn’t go as planned, we hope this episode reminds you that business is an ever-changing game—and that reinvention is part of the process. Listen in for our takeaways and what’s next for us!

This week, we hope to normalize the feelings and the roller coaster of emotions that can happen when you embark on new experiments. We share some specifics as it relates to all the experiments we’ve run on YouTube. We also share a recent YouTube experiment that didn’t go well and how we’re handling that.

We hope you walk away from this episode feeling motivated and excited for your own business experiments but also remember that your self-worth shouldn’t be tied to the things you try to grow your biz!

We all know being on social media has its ups and downs. While it’s a great place to have a brand new business or idea get found, it’s also hard on our mental health and can constantly feel like you’re stuck in this never-ending hamster wheel of content creation.

This week, we’re sharing our thoughts on how we’re viewing social media as it relates to our businesses moving forward. We also talk about our personal social media profiles (really just IG) and if we think we’ll come back to those either

We want to make sure to note, if you LOVE using social media then by all means keep using it! But, like everything else in life and business, if you aren’t enjoying using social media right now, ask yourself our age-old question: “what is it all for?”

✈️ Our pramvel this week starts with a beach story from Nazaré and the first moment we realized living in Portugal could be a real option. Then, once we switched our plans to stay in the Silver Coast for another week, we had to book a last-minute hotel, but we found a great spot with a fun surprise!

We hope our podcast episode title wasn’t too attention-grabby, but the topic really is “ending things” — haha!

Thank you to Nicole Antoinette for sending in a very thought-provoking topic idea and having us go down a bit of a rambling rabbit hole. Ending things in business, whether it’s quitting, pivoting, or a nice smooth planned transition, doesn’t get talked about a lot in the online space. So, we wanted to talk about it.

✈️ Our pramvel stories take you through quite a roller-coaster week in the small town of Wicken, England. We found a very unique Airbnb, a lovely corn maze and a sunflower field, but then Jason had an allergy-induced asthma attack.

In this week’s episode, we share a lot of the tiny “isms” and phrases we’ve come up with that help us work through different parts of our relationship.

Whether it’s a simple question to make sure the other person is ready to have a conversation or a set of rules we put in place before embarking on a big project/discussion/change/etc. We’re always coming up with ways to better converse with one another, especially during the more stressful and tense times.

These are things we’ve learned in our 12 years together and we hope you find them fun, helpful, or just enjoy hearing how we co-exist!

✈️ Our pramvel stories take you through our trip from central England to Tuddenham to meet another WAIMer in person. Then we made our way down to Rye and Kent (where we stayed at 👩🏻‍🦰’s #1 Airbnb of the year!)

Holy moly this is an exciting episode to share! So much so, we just pushed the rest of our podcast (and pramvel) schedule so we could record in real-time and talk through everything that’s been happening the past two weeks.

What started out as a casual scouting mission to two areas in Portugal (Silver Coast and the Algarve) quickly turned into conversations with sentences like, “are we moving to Portugal??” and “is this really happening, are we doing this!?”

Have a listen to this episode and maybe you’re in a similar situation in your life and are about to make a big decision? Even if you aren’t, we hope this one was at least verrrry entertaining. 😂😂😂😂

If you want us to continue to share the moving to Portugal process, shoot us a note at hello@wanderingaimfully.com and feel free to cheer us on for more OR ask any questions you might be thinking.

✈️ No pramvel this week, it’ll be back next week!

The famous Steve Jobs quote goes something like this: “We’re here to put a dent in the universe. Why else even be here.” And while that’s inspiring for some, it’s not the only perspective in life. Also, we can think of a million other reasons to exist as a human that don’t require trying to dent the universe.

In this episode, we want to deconstruct some of these big aspirational quotes that get shared constantly around social media. There’s a lot of ego at play in the “dream big” messaging and the constant striving for trying to impact millions of people.

If you’re anything like us, and if you listen to this podcast we think you are 😘😘, we’re here to tell you that having smaller goals and focusing on “enough” (in audience size, revenue, etc) can be incredibly impactful and rewarding. We also love that we can focus on making a change in a tiny group of people’s lives and that feels right to us!

When was the last time you caught yourself scrolling through IG, Pinterest, etc, and wishing you had the exact kitchen, outfit, aesthetically “perfect” office, completely passive income business, etc?

We live in a time when we don’t just see what our neighbors are up to, we’re now trying to keep up with billions of people. In this week’s episode, we wanted to talk about how these thoughts are affecting us but also how we’re trying to combat them with our own future life decisions.

If you’re feeling caught up in a never-ending spiral of wanting more or dreaming about some big life change, maybe it’s worth writing down your non-negotiable (realistic) items that WOULD make you feel satisfied. And then, if you achieve that big dream or make a huge life change, you won’t automatically be focused on what’s next or what you don’t have! That’s certainly what we’re trying to do.

When you’re a person who lives with an “invisible illness” (anxiety, depression, chronic fatigue, Binocular Vision Dysfunction, etc) it can be very difficult for the rest of the world to see how much you are struggling. It’s like you’re playing the game of life on HARD MODE, while everyone else is playing on normal mode.

A few years ago, while struggling with anxiety, we were very lucky to discover that Caroline has a slight misalignment of her eyes that causes a condition called Binocular Vision Dysfunction (BVD). Thankfully, we were able to find an optometrist who could prescribe a unique glasses prescription that helped give her much-needed comfort from daily dizziness, clumsiness (no joke), and many more symptoms you can find linked below caused by BVD.

We wanted to peel back the curtain, talk about how Caroline is feeling this week, and share this small metaphor epiphany we stumbled into together. For Jason, playing the game of life is very normal and comfortable. For Caroline, every day can be a bit of a struggle, and it’s like she’s always playing on HARD MODE. Maybe you and your partner are similar? So, how do we navigate those different game modes together? How can we better support the person playing on HARD mode? All of that and more this week!

In this week’s episode, we’re talking about surviving the summer business slump. We’ve learned to embrace this season as sales, attention, and growth all comes to a screeching halt. We want to normalize this a bit more so it’s less shocking to you when it happens, and also something you’re preparing for every year.

We’ll share how seasoned business owners can be ready for the summer slow-down and why resting and ENJOYING this time of year is just as helpful as doing a bunch of work.

We’ll also discuss how new biz owners can weather this slower time AND get creative with offers to still nab some sales (or plant seeds for the future)!

The most important takeaway this week: Don’t form an opinion of the entirety of your business based on the inevitable slow-down of the summer months.

For all our multi-passionate business owners out there, this episode is FOR YOU. We hope our discussion this week helps you in one of two ways:

1. Either you’ve been wanting to stay more generalized and multi-passionate, but it hasn't been working for you and this can give you permission to go more narrow OR...

2. You’re still really committed to being a generalist (like we are with WAIM!) and this can help shift your expectations in terms of how to make that happen.

We believe it IS still possible to be less niche with your biz, but the key has been and always will be: You need an audience, and specifically, you need an email list.

There are five key elements we're sharing this week to help you succeed if you don't want to niche way down and you want to serve a bigger, broader topic.

This episode is a special one—because we’re pregnant! 🎉 We want to share our journey so far, from navigating fertility struggles to getting our positive test (on New Year’s Eve, no less!), and what the first trimester has been like for both of us.

We’re covering:

• The fertility challenges we faced (Ep #223), including two pregnancy losses and the diagnosis that changed everything
• What it was like to start daily blood thinner injections and progesterone
• How we found out we were pregnant and why it felt different this time
• Caroline’s first trimester experience (hello, nausea and fatigue)
• Jason’s deep emotional reflections (aka, his attempt to share feelings 😂)
• How we’re adjusting work and life for this big transition

We’re incredibly grateful for this moment, and we also want to acknowledge that fertility journeys are deeply personal—if you’re in the thick of it, we see you and are sending so much love. 💛

This episode was inspired by a message we received from someone who said a version of the following, “What do you do when someone does something very similar to you and reaches a level of success or virality while you’re sort of toiling away?”

It’s a GREAT question and something we’ve dealt with a few times over the years (and will continue to deal with, as it’s very natural and happens to everyone). We share a few of our own stories about comparison and what we’ve learned about working through it in various ways. We talk about running into comparison early on in your business journey and what to do when seeing someone else succeed can take such an emotional toll on your energy.

Let’s all talk about comparison and the idea of Business Nemesi (Nemsises?) a bit more, because we all run into it.

The term Highly Sensitive Person (HSP) is becoming a lot more well-known and we think that’s GREAT! This trait is something that can be seen as a detriment, but we also know it provides a lot of benefits in our relationship and work.

We go through some of our history in understanding Caroline is an HSP and how our relationship works out with a very NON-HSP in Jason. We discuss some of the feelings and factors that define an HSP as well as ways to support an HSP in everyday situations. Hopefully, this episode is one you can share with the HSP (or non-HSP) in your life to help learn from our experience!

Every “milestone” birthday has you reflecting on life and your previous years. Jason left his 30s behind and moved into the 40s, sharing five life/biz lessons with you.

For WAIM, our little entrepreneurial endeavor passed the 4-year mark and it’s hard for us to believe! But, during these past 4 years, we’ve learned some well-worn lessons we wanted to share with you that we hope you can apply to your business.

And, of course, there are lots of silly stories and walks down memory lane shared this week!

We don't want this update to come off as us complaining, more just sharing the REALNESS of what it takes to travel full-time while continuing to run two businesses (and trying to stay alive and healthy as human beings). At a certain point, something has to give to avoid burning out.

Full-time travel is such an amazing privilege and we are so grateful for this opportunity, but at the same time, it's also one of the hardest things we've ever done in our lives.

We'll be back before you know it and can't wait to share more biz advice and travel stories!

In this episode, we’re going to chat about what a full day of travel adventures looks like. One of us (Caroline) deals with flight anxiety, and the other of us (Jason) deals with an incredible urge to make every process as efficient as possible (even though that’s wildly IMPOSSIBLE in airports).

We take you on our journey getting from Dublin, Ireland to Split, Croatia — the place where we are as of recording this ep!

Caroline caught covid while in Split, Croatia and we talk about her experience and how we worked through it. Thankfully, even though her symptoms weren’t as mild as Jason’s, they were still totally manageable and we’re grateful for that.

Let’s have a chat about five key mindsets we believe every business owner needs, especially when getting started (but also as your business evolves and changes!)

This week, we want to talk to you about what it takes to work through the mental hurdles of running your own business. These are not the only mindsets that matter, but they’re the ones we’ve identified that have been most important for us over the years.

• Experimentation
• Aiming for enough
• Patience
• You don’t have to do it alone
• Prepare for stress

We chat about each of those five mindsets in this episode and we hope they can help you start your next online biz or work through the mental gymnastics of your existing business!

Just because you’ve done something in the past with your business doesn’t mean it has to be a hard and fast “rule” forever. We should embrace working less hours, doing fewer things, and striving for enough instead of more.

This week, we shared a bunch of thoughts around having to be consistent or over-stuffing our products and services with too many things, and instead, to actually talk to our customers and find what’s valuable to THEM.

If you’ve been feeling disillusioned with social media, you are not alone. We are on a 6-month break from using Instagram for our WAIM biz and it’s felt soooo freeing to us. We want you to feel that freedom as well by taking a good, hard look at WHY you use these platforms and WHAT tangible data you can get that tells you they are necessary (we do understand for some folks, social media isn’t evil and is very helpful).

Hope you enjoyed our travel stories from Ballybunion, Ireland!

It feels like the first two months of our year of full-time travel have gone by fast AND slow. We’ve experienced so much already on this journey and we wanted to share a bunch of that with you!

In the prâmvéllë of this episode, we go over our final week in Kinsale, Ireland. From the 17th century fort, to stunning cliffs, and three of our favorite restaurants, we bring you along and talk about some of our best moments (and how we dealt with some of the hardest too).

The rest of this week’s pod is broken down into a few categories as we chat about the first two months of our year of travel: Working, Planning, Habits/Time, Relationship, and Travel Stuff.

Hope you enjoy us discussing this amazing, dream come true trip we’re on!

It’s so easy to get swept up in all the sales tactics. The manipulative wording, the guilt-tripping, the urgency, the scarcity, and so many of those things happen without even realizing it because we’re following the advice of someone else. Our goal this week is to show you some options that can feel more congruent with who you are at your core.

When it comes to selling, we take a lot of pride in being as truthful as possible and only making promises we know we can keep. No false guarantees and no pie-in-the-sky dream selling around here (anymore).

For us, selling has become so much easier when we’ve created more real and honest connections with our audience. When we’ve leaned into building long-term trust and stopped chasing the short-term dollars. We hope you can walk away from this episode feeling empowered and like you can sell in a way that feels GOOD to you.

If you didn’t catch it last week, we’re officially in Ireland! We made the trek from Dublin to Kinsale and are absolutely loving this charming, nautical town.

This episode goes out to anyone who has felt stressed during a launch! We want to help change that for you and we have 4 steps that ensure your launches are calm, profitable, and feel effortless.

THE biggest mistake we see folks making when doing live launches is not enough planning and prep time (our own customer survey data showed 75% of people plan a launch in 4 weeks or less). Not giving yourself enough time leads to overwhelm, a lack of pre-marketing, and what we call a “floppy launch” (read: not many sales).

We touch on four things in this episode that every launch needs to feel calmer while also driving more sales! We hope you walk away from this episode giving your next launch more lead-up time AND when your launch starts you are having that (stress-free!) twiddling-your-thumbs moment.

This week, we’re talking all about decision-making. And when it comes time to make a decision, people often look to others for advice, and people LOVE to give their advice. But unfortunately, advice from external sources can often be broad, sweeping, blanket terms based on the things THEY value in life (which can be out of alignment for YOU).

Our Embracing YOU series is all about putting the standard operating procedures of different aspects of life under the microscope and we’re excited to explore decision making, your internal compass, and how we work through the big, hairy decisions in our lives.

As always, we don’t have all the answers, just some stories and experiences we want to share with you.

Productivity is such a loaded word. For a long time it was just used synonymously with working. But we have a different definition. To be “productive” doesn’t just necessarily mean working. It means doing what you intend to do.

If you intend to rest and you rest, you’re productive. If you intend to write a newsletter and you write it, or you plan it, or you name the Google Doc so you can sit down and write it next time...hey I think that’s productive too.

A lot of productivity advice assumes that we all get things done in the same way, which couldn’t be further from the truth. We all have different brains, different preferences. Some of us prefer a very rigid schedule and that helps us stay on track. Some of us need extreme flexibility. We want to share our thoughts on productivity this week and hope after listening you’ll embrace more of what works FOR YOU!

In this week’s episode, we tackle the monkey that can sit on all our backs from time to time: social media.

We all know that social media can be valuable for our businesses but is it causing more harm than good? Could we be investing our time and energy somewhere else that doesn’t feel heavy or toxic?

Also, if social media doesn’t bog you down, by all means, keep using it! That’s the entire idea of this Embracing YOU series. Only you know what’s right for your life and business and we’re just here to share some different and (hopefully) thoughtful perspectives.

It can feel risky to stand out with your business but we’d say it’s one of the most important decisions you can lean into when building your brand and doing any copywriting (emails, sales pages, newsletters, articles, etc).

Your brand is how someone feels when they experience your product or service and the more you inject your authenticity and uniqueness into that brand the more you’ll align with your customers/clients!

For years, we’ve wrestled with the ideas of “being professional” and… what the heck does that even mean?? Who decides what a “professional” standard is in the online business world we exist in these days? Does that antiquated way of thinking actually matter anymore?  (Spoiler alert: no, it does not.)

We hope you walk away with some ideas and ways to embrace more of what makes YOU, you, in your brand and copywriting after listening to this episode.

Oh, and not to bury the lead, but in the *pramvel* section, we share our covid story from the last week. And the small wedding we catered via UberEats!

🍿 Movie discussed: Not a movie, but we loved The Woman in the House Across the Street from the Girl in the Window on Netflix!

Did we mention we made it to Europe and OMG we live out of our suitcases now and are traveling full-time?? Wowowowowow.

Tune in to hear where we are in Europe and the truth about how hard it is for a highly sensitive person with anxiety to be awake for 24+ hours and on planes for more than half of that.

But, we made it and we want to share some stories about our first Airbnb, the cute little grocery store we found, the amazing coffee shop that’s just downstairs, and our very first rooftop dinner experience (that wasn’t… perfect).

Hope you enjoy the idea of the Embracing YOU series and our first discussion about goal setting!

In this episode, we go over the final things we had to do before making our big move into full-time travel. We go over selling the remainder of everything we own, talk about a few logistical challenges, and where we ended up financially after all the eBay, OfferUp, and Garage Sale-ing.

We also dive deep into a heavy conversation about Caroline’s current emotional state. We get into the grief of a big transition (or two), talking about a big identity change, and lots of thoughts and feelings tied to how we show up in our families of origin.

In this week’s episode, we do a feelings check-in. How’s everyone feeling about our nemesis Omicron? How’s everyone feeling about the remaining tasks to do? How’s everyone feeling who is finishing a third round of shingles?

Then, we take you on an adventure through our Garage Sale AND the UN-Fine Art Sale (which is still going until December 17 — just 9 pieces left for sale as of recording!) We break down exactly how both of these two projects went, including the emotional roller coaster we each went on to make them happen.

Hope you enjoy another update on this huge life change we’re diving into! Also, #teambunkbed or #teamtrundlebed??

Everyone deals with chaos at one time or another and there’s no perfect way to get through it. One thing that helps us is to not try to fight it and instead to embrace it.

Caroline getting shingles for the third time? Sorting through 300+ pieces of one-off to sell? Gearing up for a garage sale to sell the majority of our things? And a bunch of other smaller decisions to make thrown in? What chaos??? 😂🙈😂🙈

Hopefully, this episode doesn’t stress you out, and instead, shows you how we work through these tougher and more difficult seasons of life!

We are fully aware that this big life change is something we chose, so the emotions we’re feeling are self-imposed. However, much like starting your own business, or growing your family, or moving across the country, etc, even if you’re making that choice those big life events can still be (and are!) hard.

This episode is a bit of an emotional check-in where Jason ACTUALLY has some emotions - gasp! 😱 After going on an emotional journey with both of us, we get into some nitty-gritty items like selling a portion of our stuff on eBay, getting ready for two garage sales, and of course creating a Plan B for the start of our trip if covid (Omicron) has other thoughts.

That and more in this big WAIM Around the World (WAW) travel update.

In this ep, we explore the thoughts that keep business owners from moving forward (especially early on). The 4 Qs we mentioned in the episode that every biz owner needs to be able to confidently answer are:

• Who do you help?
• Why does your business exist and why would someone choose you over your peers?
• What problem does your business solve?
• How do you help them solve it?

We hope this episode gives you a JOLT of inspiration and motivation to move forward if you’ve been feeling stuck!

We have 11 questions we grabbed from the game OpenUp! These weren’t pre-selected and we simply picked them at random while recording to make it fun and authentic.

Have fun asking these questions with your friends, family, partner, or just answering them on your own:

1. If you had a hairy spot on your body that you could NEVER shave and that would grow forever, where should that spot be?
2. Do you feel that life has been generally fair or unfair to you?
3. Do you eat food that’s past the ‘best by’ date? Explain.
4. Have you ever told a friend you were interested in more than friendship, and gotten turned down?
5. How well do you think you could keep an important secret if you were subjected to torture?
6. What’s the largest age gap you would consider when choosing someone to date/marry?
7. Would you go commando for one year for $10,000? Why or why not?
8. What is the last thing that made you laugh out loud?
9. Would you be willing to flash a stranger? (*At FlashCon, a conference we made up for people who like flashing other people)
10. How long do you think you could survive in the wilderness without help or supplies?
11. If there were no electronics (TV, smartphones, i-anythings) what would you do for fun?

We’ve learned so much in recent years that not everyone has the same circumstances, opportunities, or physical/mental abilities to work at the same pace. We’ve tried to shift our online biz messaging to remove any mention of a certain pace or amount of money being deemed as “good.”

What matters is that YOU define the pace and the amount of money/work that YOU can do that’s right for YOUR life.

There are so many external pressures to be more productive but maybe we’re not realizing our human-ness isn’t meant to be so productive? Maybe it’s okay to work a bit less, spend more time away from our businesses, and enjoy life without feeling guilty? Maybe it’s okay if our pursuits (esp biz ones) take wayyyy longer to get to our personal milestones we set based on our specific individual circumstances?

We hope you enjoyed this discussion this week and if you have any thoughts to share, feel free to send an email to hello@wanderingaimfully.com.

This week, we’re sharing our experiences about moving from client-based businesses to running digital products (or really anything non-client biz related). The BIGGEST point we want to hit home is that there is no one-size-fits-all approach to moving away from clients.

It might take you a year, and that’s okay.

You might need to save up 6-months savings to feel comfortable, and that’s okay.

There might be clients you want to keep and it’s not actually a full transition away from clients, and that’s okay too!

We’ll share helpful tips we’ve learned and hope they can help you if you’re currently stuck at this point in your biz journey.
