You may know Tracy Tutor from Million Dollar Listing Los Angeles on Bravo, but besides the show, she is a bestselling author and real estate mogul, running the show in a male-dominated industry and doing it all in sky high heels. In today's episode, I'm chatting with Tracy about what it looks like to overcome your fears and failures, tap into your intuition, and truly own the rooms you're walking into.

In today's episode, I'm joined by my dear friend and fellow bestselling author, Amanda Frances, to share our top tips on how to write and self-publish your book so that you can expand your empire and leave your legacy.

Here's what most people don't understand: 

You do not need to have an English degree or a massive following to write and self-publish a life-changing book. And you certainly don't need a publisher. The days of waiting to be chosen or picked by a publisher are gone.

It's time to choose yourself.

In this powerful episode, we're sharing both of our experiences about what it looked like to write our respective books, where to begin if you dream of writing a book, why the traditional publishing model is outdated, and how easy it is to get YOUR book out into the world on YOUR terms.

Feel like self-publishing may be the vibe for you? Our new course, SELF-PUBLISHED, is open for enrollment! Click here for all the details.

I've always drawn so many life lessons from fitness. There is an incredible amount of mental fortitude required to push your body past your own self-imposed limits. But watching the extraordinary humans run the New York City marathon was a whole other level. In today's episode, I'm sharing 5 things I learned from witnessing the incredible strength and drive from these runners. I hope this episode inspires you the way watching them inspired me! Enjoy.

In the 13+ years that I've been creating, re-imagining, and refining my brand, The Champagne Diet, I've witnessed many "experts" and coaches offer different approaches to business building. Some I've agreed with, and some have been downright damaging.

One of the more popular approaches is finding your niche. And while I am not totally against niches, I don't think they are for everyone. If you've found something super specific and it's working for you and your audience - that's wonderful!

I just know I could not do the exact same thing for the past 13 years, and almost every single one of my business clients has come to me feeling suffocated by the idea that she has to choose some specialized segment of her market and never veer off course.

In today's episode, I'm sharing my thoughts on why the "niche" is dead and how we can begin to look at our brands from a completely different, more creative, empowered perspective.

There seems to be this narrative going on in the world of entrepreneurship where you're supposed to niche down on this one very specific thing, go 10x on that thing, drown yourself in webinars and content from others who are also doing that very specific thing, burn yourself out, and move onto the next huge goal before you've ever even come up for air after achieving the previous one.
 
I am here to dispel that myth.
 
In fact, that myth makes me crazy. It limits our creativity, stifles our natural talents, and sucks the fun out of life and business. In today's episode, I'm giving you some tips on how to have more fun in your business. Because after all, isn't that the point?
 
Enjoy!

I'm popping in with a quick announcement to invite you to my FREE mini masterclass/champagne happy hour!

RSVP here

I don't think I knew over 13 years ago that I was building a brand when I started The Champagne Diet blog. I was simply expressing myself to the world, sharing the things that I loved (like my passion for champagne, Chanel, and the celebration of life), and bringing others along with me as I created something fun and unique. Now I bet when you have a glass of champagne, you can't not think of me ;)
 
In my now nearly decade and a half of doing what I do, I have become passionate about personal branding and the mindset needed to create a memorable one that has a massive impact and brings in massive income.
 
That's why I'm so thrilled for tomorrow's FREE mini masterclass where I'll be sharing a sneak peek of my brand new course ICONIC. To be honest, this course began as a personal branding course, but has evolved into SO much more.

If you're an entrepreneur (at any level) who is ready to:

Gain total clarity on your brand vision so you no longer feel overwhelmed, blocked, or stuck.

Cultivate the confidence to raise your prices, ask for the sale, and share your offerings and products with passion and certainty.

Raise your vibration and establish new beliefs around what is possible for you.

Truly know your worth, what you bring to the table, and develop the discernment to know what serves you and what does not in your life and your business.

Then you cannot miss this FREE event on Tuesday, 10/5 at 4 PM ET.

RSVP here and you will receive an email with the private link for the event :)

If you miss the live event, we'll send you a link with the replay!

Are you bringing main character energy to your business!?

That is the question du jour.

It's easy to feel like an extra when you spend your time looking around at everyone else online. You begin to doubt your own superpowers. You start comparing yourself to everyone in your industry and you talk yourself out of the things you want to do before you even get started. You forget how fucking magical you really are when your job becomes trying to fit in rather than blaze your own trail and stand out.

In today's episode, I'm going to help you supercharge your confidence and start showing up as the MAIN CHARACTER in your life and biz. Get ready for a powerful episode!

Today on the show, I'm chatting with Julia Haart, star of the Netflix series My Unorthodox Life, and Co-Owner and CEO of Elite World Group - the world’s first talent media conglomerate comprised of 48 global agencies representing over 5,400 of the world’s most dynamic talent. Julia is the definition of a BOSS.

Until the age of 42, she lived within the confines of an Orthodox Jewish community in Monsey, New York, where she was married off at the age of 19 (after only knowing her husband for a few hours), and went on to raise four children in a community where women had no rights, no voice, and no hope for anything other than becoming a mother and a wife. Miserable and desperate, Julia escaped Monsey and her Orthodox life with her children and reinvented herself into a fashion industry mogul. Her mission now is to shift the power dynamic among the talent in her agency by transforming them into media channels and internationally recognized brands. She wants all women to be financially free and empowered, and is doing so by revolutionizing the modeling industry.

Julia's story is inspiring, to say the least, and in this episode we talk about her path to self-reinvention, freedom, and finding and creating real love within herself and her family. Get ready to be blown away.

Be sure to watch My Unorthodox Life on Netflix, and click here to pre-order her book, Brazen, coming March 2022.

Ever notice we immediately hand our power away without even thinking twice? We immediately assume we need them more than they need us.

If you love fashion and the arts, you're going to LOVE this episode. I have Joanie Coyote on the show, who is a Costume History Professor, Theatre Costume Designer, and Stand-Up Comic.

Costuming brought her from Texas to New York in the 1980's where she made costumes for Broadway plays such as Starlight Express, Miss Saigon and Phantom of the Opera. She was a dresser for Les Miserable and a few other Broadway shows. Joanie stumbled into other creative outlets such as acting in a critically acclaimed Off-Broadway play, Top Girls, and waitressing at the Original Improv Comedy Club which would lead to her eventually performing comedy in Houston and Los Angeles for many years. Joanie is a single mom to an awesome daughter and is committed to empowering women in any way possible.

Joanie and I talk about the rise of women in the fashion industry, how fashion has evolved through the times, the power of pink hair, our fashion predictions for a post-COVID world, and so much more. Grab a cup of coffee and get ready to dig in to this fabulous conversation!
