No matter what you do, there are going to be clients who don’t agree with you. And sometimes, they won’t just be trolls on the internet. They’ll be long-term, loyal, paying clients who decide to stop supporting you the minute you make a decision that doesn’t align with their beliefs. How do you deal with long-term clients turning their back on you? How do you respond when constructive feedback crosses over to negativity? And why does this happen in the first place? Those are just some of the questions we’re looking to answer in today’s episode.

In this week’s episode, we’re dissecting the relationship business owners have with social media, how to overcome the mindset blocks that stop you from sharing what you want online, and how to make sure negativity doesn’t sabotage the work you’re meant to do!

In today’s episode, we discuss Elizabeth Holmes, Anna Sorokin, and The Bad Vegan, and break down how society views women who ‘flew too close to the sun’. While we don’t have all of the answers just yet, we try to make sense of the double standards in entrepreneurship, the complex relationship we have with women who just want to be successful, and if this kind of public humiliation is the reason we don’t see more openly ambitious female entrepreneurs. Once you listen to the episode, find us on Instagram (@heymarvelous) and tell us what you think about women in business and why the world is obsessed with making spectacles of their downfalls!

How many of you are afraid to start (or scale) your business because you’re afraid of going into debt? If you have your hand up, we get it. After all, no one wants to put $5,000 on their credit cards to spend on bags, shoes, or clothing. So, why would we take that risk for our business? In today’s And She Spoke episode, we want to break down why that train of thought is deeply flawed.

Running an online business can be draining. Especially in a global pandemic. If you spent most of last year glued to the screen, working 13 hours a day, and wading through the digital noise, you aren’t the only one. 2020 and 2021 were not kind to entrepreneurs. But with a new year comes a fresh perspective. And one big trend that we stand behind for 2022 is digital minimalism. So, if you want to hear our in-depth takes on the trend (and how you can apply it to your own business), as well as our input on several huge 2022 business trends, this episode is for you!

All our lives, we’ve been conditioned to believe that being unruly was social suicide - the opposite of how we needed to act if we wanted to be loved by our peers, respected by our colleagues, and cared for by our partners. But, what if we told you that the world needs unruly women now more than ever? According to Emilia, for society to find equilibrium, women need to stop suppressing themselves and start embracing their ‘unruly’ sides. After all, the only way we can grow newer, better, more inclusive communities is if we destroy the systems that aren’t working and lean into what makes each one of us unique.
