Are you ready to think outside of the box and discover different ways to get in front of your target audience with public relations?

Today is all about one of the core pillars of manifesting what you want in your life and business - being, acting, and emoting the energy and vibe of what you’re trying to attract.  Because honestly, manifestation and positivity aside, sometimes life just goes sideways and you get served (as Jason calls it) a c-r-a-p ball. Do you know what I’m talking about?  The thing is, we’re human, and sometimes bad things happen to good people who are doing everything right.  As a business owner, you’re going to face challenges every single week in your business, and there will be times when you come up with negative self-talk because of the hardships you’re facing (we all struggle with it). In the latest episode of the Thrive by Design Podcast, that’s exactly why I talk about how to put a spin on gratitude and be grateful for everything that’s happening to you - even when it’s not so fun at the time.  Because, even though it definitely doesn’t feel like it, your obstacles are taking you to the next level in your busines
