The more you let life’s challenges weigh you down, the harder it is for you to achieve the greatness you were meant for. So, rather than carry a bag full of baggage, just carry the bag–open and ready for opportunity. Today’s Power Mom is determination personified. Michelle Talbert of Her Power Space, was already a mother of small children as she began her power path. And, in those moments where society and naysayers (and even a pandemic) tried to keep her down, she kept pursuing that bag–not that baggage. Time and time again, she released what did not serve her and continued forward to blaze a path not only for herself, but many others as well. She learned that if you let go of the baggage–your trauma, your self-doubt, societal myths, and other people’s expectations–if you can put that stuff down, you’ll be able to pick up everything that is meant for you. And, moving with that energy and building a community to be an example and source of support for others makes her a Power Mom!! Li…

Once you have set the table for your sponsors, how do you figure out what to serve up as the opportunities to partner together? Today, we are going to move closer toward landing those sponsorship sales by keeping my Thanksgiving dinner metaphor going.

And, your elements go well beyond just an audio ad in the episodes themselves. I will then walk you through how to organize those possible elements into packages that make sense, meet varying budgets, and create flexibility for you to even customize a particular partnership. Plus, I will also help you untangle the mystery of how to price those packages and keep your sponsors happy with your process. It’s my next Podcasting 102 topic ready to roll for you today. Listen in and let's do this...!

She not only champions ideas worth spreading, but this badass butterfly helps everyone she meets grow into their own successes. Cindy is a font of female empowerment and shining example of women helping women. And, THAT makes her a Power Mom!! Listen in…
