Do The Brave Thing™ Online Business Podcast with Kate Doster

[SS #2] This mean reply actually got me upset...

Today's day 2 of our specially daily series we're doing on Inbox Besties while most of us are practicing some social distancing. 
Today's audio is actually pulled directly from a live stream I did inside the private FB group for my paid course Love Your List. 
Which you can get on the waitlist for by going to https://www.katedoster.com/party to sign up for my live stream Extravaganza March 30, 31, and April 1st. 
Let me know what you think of this new temporary format over on Instagram kate_doster
What's this [SS] mean?
These shorter daily podcasts are meant to be a daily reminder that everyone is just doing the best they can.
They are a mix of besties chats and more longform content that you might need your notebook for. I'll let you know at the beginning of each episode if I think it's more of a casual listen or one where you should take notes. During the special series I'll be sharing what I'm doing behind the scenes in my own business, things that I've been struggling with or doing well, how many business and daily life have changed because currently situation of the world.  

[SS #1] Everyone is doing the best they can...including you

Due to all the health concerns and over all general craziness in the world right now, I decided to start a special daily (at least Monday-Friday) series on the podcast. Think of it like our besties chat (a more casual, behind the scenes shows) and our main numbered episode that normally lay out actionable tips 1,2,3 had a baby. 
It's my intention with these shorter 10 to 15 minute episodes to bring a little light to your day and realize that you were not the only one struggling with some tough decisions right now and it's perfectly normal to feel unsure about everything. They are meant to be listen to with one earbud in while you are hanging out with your children, thinking over your next moves or just as an escape. My ultimate goal is help you if you realize that you are not alone. Your feelings are valid, but now is NOT the time to stop taking action. If you have a struggle, concern or worry that you like to hear covered on the show in the next two weeks feel free to drop me a DM over on Instagram Kate_Doster and I'd be more than happy to record an episode for you
