In this episode, I’m bringing back a conversation that I had this time last year with Massage Therapist, Entrepreneur & Investor, Hannah Diment after she took part in my UNRESTRICTED coaching program. When I first met Hannah, she was awesome at doing “fun” things and had a successful massage therapy practice, but had been avoiding making steps on a project that she’d secretly wanted to do for years.I love her story. To the outside world she was carefree, fearless and talented, but she struggled with putting herself out there, doing the things that scared her, and finding a structure that supported her creative endeavors. This is something that I think most of us have felt at one point or another.Over our work together, she realized the things she resisted the most, were often the things that brought her the most confidence, like tracking her time and looking at her finances. She used the tools I gave her to face her fears and use gamification and productivity to launch her first coaching program, which ultimately made her feel free to explore her dreams, and take action to make them a reality.If you feel resistant to productivity, you’re not alone, give this one a listen to inspire you on the freedom that comes with structure.Strap in, you’re in for a UNRESTRICTED ride///////////////////////// ABOUT UNRESTRICTED Live & ATHENA SIMPSONUNRESTRICTED Live is a show where we hear how to take care of your mind, body & soul, while building successful businesses and projects that you love. I’m your host Athena Simpson.

For many of us, the thought of putting ourselves out into the world is daunting. Many of us may have built businesses or want to, but have a fear of being the voice and the face of that business. We worry we’ll seem too into ourselves, that we will be ‘found out’ or that people will mock us. Imposter syndrome, thinking we’re not actually good enough, is an affliction that hits many, especially women. And online marketing is one of the biggest triggers for those that are worried about it.The thing is, to further our businesses, especially in the current times, we MUST be online. And people don’t want to buy from faceless brands, they want to know the owners, they want to feel connected and when they do, they become loyal fans and customers. So how then, can we get over our fear and start utilizing the digital world to forward our cause, our business and connect with potential customers?  How can we authentically use video and social media to promote ourselves and our businesses in a way that feels good?On this episode my e-commerce and digital marketing expert guest, Deonnah Carolus, Owner of Summit Web Marketing and I discuss how to get over imposter syndrome online.GRAB DEONNAH'S FREE VIDEO MARKETING CHECKLIST HERE http://bit.ly/URep14MarketingTipsABOUT UNRESTRICTED Live & ATHENA SIMPSON UNRESTRICTED Live is a show where we hear from incredible women who live life on their own terms, who take care of their mind, body & soul, while building successful businesses and projects that they love. I’m your host Athena Simpson.

For most of us, the pandemic has put a lot of our lives on hold. We’re swimming in uncertainty, canceling plans awaiting some sort of normalcy to return. For those that want to get married, they’re faced with the choice of delaying indefinitely or having a celebration that looks a lot different than what societal norms dictate or what they’d always dreamed of.Getting loved ones together in a big group has been forbidden and a risk, but some people are choosing to continue their life plans.My guest for Episode 13 of UNRESTRICTED Live, Marketing Strategist Kelsey Turman, and her fiance decided they didn’t want to wait, that they wanted to continue their life plans together. For them, that meant eloping. But instead of a remote, beautiful destination, they did it close to home. That inevitably brought up some challenges for how they deal with family and friends, having to redesign what their celebration looked like, and how to do it within so many restrictions.Join me and Kelsey as we talk about getting married during a pandemic, how they made the decision, planned for it and dealt with the uncomfortable conversations and restrictions, to pull off what was a beautiful, intimate celebration of their love.ABOUT UNRESTRICTED Live & ATHENA SIMPSON UNRESTRICTED Live is a show where we hear from incredible women who live life on their own terms, who take care of their mind, body & soul, while building successful businesses and projects that they love. I’m your host Athena Simpson.
