2022 = The Year of You (Part 2): Taking Care of Business!

What a title! I mean...Pulitzer material ;)  Hi Lovies, I hope this finds you well and enjoying the holiday season.  As promised, this week I am focusing on some practical application for business growth; either for your personal brand or that of your company by exploring a framework that I have designed around Missions, Goals, Tasks, Frequency, Cost and Time Horizon. I'll post a picture of the framework and how we filter two missions through said process: Social Media Growth and Attracting Investors.  Last week, we covered heart-work and this week, we're getting some practical tools. Next week, I'll share two methods for how you'll actually get alll of this done: Healthy Boundaries and Healthy Habits. I pray this is helpful to you and gets you really excited for all you will dream and accomplish in 2022. Drop me a line if you have any questions (IG: @thelipsticknetwork) and please share this episode. Have a bada$$ weekend! Love, Char PS- There's a secret "snippet" of content with my wise bestie, Katie, at the end so please don't miss it! (Shout out to Dr. D for the feedback)xoxo

2022 = The Year of You: Heart, Mind, and Body Align

Hello Lovies, I hope this finds you well and eager for what is to come in 2022. As we transition, in gratitude, through the month of December, I wanted to give you a few tools that may help you reset and reframe your heart, mind, and body for the year to come. We will do that by discussing your Purpose, Strengths and Values, and how each element yields the truth of YOU. As always, I hope you feel my heart for you; my heart for your growth and joy and healing. Thank you for taking the time to listen, and please do share this episode if you think it will bless someone you know.  Til next week when I publish the "practical bits", I see, celebrate and love you. xoxo Char " When we intentionally choose authenticity, we live in integrity.

We see and celebrate Down syndrome, Homeschool and Imperfect Motherhood

Today, we have the honor and joy of seeing, celebrating and loving on my beloved cousin, Rachel. Homeschool mom of 4, this beautiful woman welcomes us into her family, sharing with us her son, Riley's, diagnosis of Down syndrome; how she felt, how she prepared, and how she prays for this differently-abled young man. Authentic, vulnerable and in-process, Rachel is warm and loving, and everyday does extra of the ordinary, and in our hearts, that makes her EXTRAORDINARY! She shares resources, recommendations and some legit advice we could alllll embrace about 'comparison culture'. I hope this blesses your heart, makes your laugh, makes you GRATEFUL and can be a resource for you or someone you know. Share it! You never know what this woman's half-glass-full attitude could do for someone in your life. Be blessed and try to behave ;) Char - Feel lead to bless children who need your support?

The Lipstick Network Relaunch/Reboot/Remix!

Hello all of you amazing people! I honestly cannot express how grateful I am to be "back". I don't have to tell you that the last 18-20 months have been...once-in-a-100-years DIFFICULT because you've been living through it too. So, first of all, I pray that you are well; that your family and loved ones are healthy and doing alright. For those of you in grief and struggling, I send peace and light your way. I pray you know you're not alone, that help is available to you. Just reach out. This relaunch/reboot/remix episode is just me. It's an update, a confession, a pep talk and a list of 'what's saving me right now', and also what's kicking my a$$. To be vulnerable, the last eighteen months my tank has been "empty"- my heart broken by the injustice, the lies, the distrust of expertise, the disappointments of my faith-community, that I just couldn't "fake it" with y'all. So, I took a beat; poured into my family and close friends; and now, I'm transitioning from surviving to thriving (fingers crossed) and this podcast is one place I hope to put light and love into the world again. This episode is about living your purpose, defining your values and living with integrity. What are these elements for you? Maybe it's time for you to relaunch a dream; maybe it's time for you to cut someone loose; whatever the decision, see it through and live with integrity. It's NEVER too late to reboot/remix/relaunch your life, and I hope this Network can be a place of encouragement and sunshine for you in the process. The Lipstick Network has been and always will be a place and space where we see, celebrate and love extra-ordinary women! If you're one of those extraordinary women (you are, just nod your head in agreement and smile), or if you want to celebrate another extra-ordinary woman in your life, drop me a line. Like, for real!  In closing, let me say, "You sexy." Put on a pop-lip, some comfortable and sexy heels and strut through your day with the conviction that every ordinary thing you do is EXTRA-ordinary to someone in your life. You are a chain-breaker, overcomer, diva on a mission to put love, truth, freedom, gratitude and grace into the world. You are not alone; we are all sisters on mission, together. Now, go on and seize this day!
