I know I have a LOT of fangirl moments you guys, but this is a big one. Because I had a chit-chat with one of the first bloggers I ever followed: Anna Newton of The Anna Edit. I've been following Anna since way back when she was blogging and vlogging under her old name Vivianna Does Makeup. She's a YouTuber, podcaster, blogger and an all-around awesome human. We chatted about how she managed her side-hustle with a full-time job when she knew it was the right time to quit and why she's taking things back to basics with her vlog. If you want a giant boost of inspiration, this is the episode for you.

It's a bit of a different one today as Sas inadvertently gives me an hour of therapy!  If you don't know Sas, she is one of the most awesome humans around. I discovered her through Sara Tasker's podcast, Hashtag Authentic and quickly became enamored with her dulcet Kiwi tones and awesome podcast Courage and Spice.  She's a self-doubt expert, coach, and mentor for women who want to transcend their self-doubt and cultivate self-belief instead. I can't emphasise enough how incredibly empowering Sas is and tell you gently that you NEED her in your life.  I went on one of Sas' retreats Write Yourself Home and it was a real turning point for me in my self-doubt journey. So, in this episode, we discuss something that I'm more than a little preoccupied with - . Good, bad......we are all bombarded with it and especially so when you've chosen a life and career online.  If you need to hear an episode that will make you feel everything's okay, this one is for you. In fact, whoever you are and whatever you need - this one's for you! Read full show notes here > https://wanderluce.com/what-she-said-podcast/
