Too often, we hear from people who have made it, which is great! But wouldn't it be helpful to hear from others who are pursuing their business but just haven't cracked the ceiling yet? "In The Thick Of It" is a podcast about two young women on the journey of being entrepreneurs. We want to share our highs and lows, our wins and losses, and how we are creating products and launching our businesses. We hope to create a space where we talk about the daily grind that we often don't get to hear about. We hope you stay along for the ride!

7: Vulnerability within Our Brands
Hi guys, thanks for joining us for another episode of 'In the Thick of It.' We apologize this podcast came out a little later than usual, but we wanted to share what's been going on and why it's delayed.
Today, we're discussing vulnerability and how it plays a role in our businesses. Too often we see highlight reels, and we often yearn for people to show their real selves online. That can be scary though, especially when people may speak harsh words or spew hate.
Brittany and Kaleigh share their experiences with expressing vulnerability and how they see other businesses being honest with their customers.

3: An Entrepreneur's Approach to To-Do Lists
Welcome back to another episode of "In the Thick of it." Too often, we're told that to be productive, you have to do a lot of tasks each day. That's simply not true.
Today, we're tackling to-do lists. Learn how we write ours, how we prioritize tasks, and how we think doing more may actually mean doing less. We talk about the importance of scheduling self-care and breaks into our day to keep us refreshed and energized to tackle our list.
Stay tuned to the end because we're sharing our wins and mishaps for this past week!

2: Product Formation + Imposter Syndrome + Business Tasks
In episode 2 of 'In the Thick of It' we have a special guest joining us ... my dog, Bear! He wanted to let you know that you can achieve anything you set your mind to! :)
Kaleigh shares her fears and feelings of imposter syndrome as she approaches her soft launch. She has created the product, perfected the consistency, written the directions for it, and is now worried about how the world will perceive her putting this creation out into the world. She shares how she's battling through these feelings. Brittany also shares her feelings of imposter syndrome and how she plans on battling through.
We also talk about the parts of business that maybe aren't our favorites (!), but why they're important to do, like showing up on social media, even when we don't feel like it. We share how we assign priority to tasks to help propel our business forward, and how we set up our processes for our business to run smoothly.
Tune in and let us know your biggest takeaway from today's episode!

1: How to Navigate Friendships + Beginning Your Entrepreneurship Path
In today's episode, we're getting brutally honest. To start, we discuss our experiences with friendships gained and lost along the way towards being an entrepreneur. We've each had to cut ties with friends that we have outgrown or who have blatantly tried to keep us down. Hear how we navigated those tough calls and how we find other like-minded friends who are on the same path.
We then dive into what drives us and how we view success. We discuss how we're trying to find systems that will help us work smarter, not harder! We share how we set up our days and our to-do lists, as well as how we take inventory of all the things we're accomplishing. It's important to celebrate the small wins!
