We’ve been told stress will kill us. That we need to yoga-breathe it away, book a retreat, or stuff it down with a pint of Ben & Jerry’s (using your car key as a spoon… iykyk). But what if stress isn’t the villain? What if it’s actually the fuel for our best work? This week, we’re joined by Dr. Rebecca Heiss — a stress physiologist, researcher, keynote speaker, and author of Springboard: Transform Stress to Work for You . She’s also the creator of the Fearless Stress Formula and has been recognized by the National Science Foundation for her groundbreaking research. Her mission? To help us stop fearing fear, stop fighting stress, and instead transform both into fuel for growth, performance, and purpose. Rebecca brings her science background together with real talk and humor, making the hard stuff (like stress) not only make sense but feel doable. She’s passionate about helping women shift out of survival mode and into a place of clarity, confidence, and community. Together, we dive into why stress isn’t something to eliminate but energy we can reframe, channel, and actually use to show up stronger. We explore: Why your “effortless, overwhelmed” game isn’t working The three steps to stop fighting stress and start using it How to “invite the tiger to tea” (yes, really) Why service and community are the real antidote to overwhelm The competitive advantage women have when it comes to stress Because friend, stress isn’t proof you’re broken. It’s proof you care. And when you learn to use it, it becomes your edge.

Do you have someone in your corner telling you the right moves to make... or more importantly, telling you where you need to course correct? You should! You're a smart person and you'd never turn down sound advice from someone who has your best interest at heart. At least you don't think so. When it comes to your marketing you don't want a yes man simply validating all of your ideas regardless of their merit. You want results. What you want is an advocate to stand on the table and tell you where you can get the most bang for your buck. In this episode of The Donut Shop Online Marketing Podcast we talk about what it means to be a marketing advocate and how we play the role for our clients at The Blocks Agency.…

Mental health doesn't get the play it deserves. Want to know why? Because it's not sexy and it doesn't sell. There is a reason that Mental Health for Marketers comes as episode 12 and not episode 1... very few people would listen if it were episode 1. But mental health matters and you know it's something that should matter to you. Unfortunately, it's typically something that we finally look into when we've become burned out, depressed, anxious or worse. This is your chance to get ahead of the conversation, ahead of the need, and discover a few ways you can prepare your mental health for the moments of trial that are bound to come. In this episode we talk all about the struggle of mental health using the struggle and stories from our hosts, Dave and Charissa.

"Does my business really need to be on social media?" If you were asking this question in 2011 the answer would be yes! Absolutely you need to be on social media... that's where the people are flocking and you want to be there when they do. But we're not in 2011 anymore and tech years go by faster than dog years do. In 2011 it was easy to grow your brand on social networks without spending a dime. Everyone was all about that organic traffic and a few folks were starting to experiment with paid ads. Today, it's almost the exact opposite. You can wait for attention or you can pay for attention and if you're trying to get attention on your brand, you can't afford to wait. So should you quit trying to figure out the algorithms and just go straight to buying ads... maybe... but maybe not. In this episode we look at timeless truths for building a brand on social media, how the value is different than it was in 2011, and answer the question, "Does my business still need to be on social media?" This is The Donut Shop Online Marketing Podcast, Episode 11, Effective Social Media for Business.…

To get people to buy what you're selling you need to tell them how it will make tomorrow better than today! But that's still not enough.
