Last week, we had the brilliant Jennifer Smith of SPIN Literary.

Today’s guest is a personal friend of mine and one of the most genuine people I’ve ever had the honor of knowing. I’m beyond excited to have Sheridan Gregory (@sheridangregory) from SheridanGregory.com on the podcast today!  From motherhood moments to video tutorials that make you fall a little bit in love with the girl, Sheridan brings personality and light to her content - no matter the medium.

I love her raw approach to keeping things real in the name of engaging content, and how she truly believes there is space for all in the influencer world - and how to stand out. Because I couldn’t agree more! Sheridan’s ‘take-action’ items and advice: Algorithms are out of our hands and will be forever changing.

On today’s very special bonus Christmas episode, I’m taking the mic solo to talk about something I’m not only thrilled to suggest, but even more excited to execute throughout the rest of the year (and hopefully beyond!).   That, my friends, is the gift of presence. Underneath the self-inflicted pressure to buy the perfect gift or spend a certain dollar amount, something much more meaningful is giving those around you your full attention. We’re talking face-to-face, in-the-moment, heart-filling, not-distracted connections! Which is so necessary in our tech-driven culture where nose down in a device is the norm. This season, and especially this weekend, close your devices and open your heart to something much more important - the people you love. This quick and heartful episode explores exactly how to do this, and the magic that can happen when you succeed. I hope you enjoy the message and that it leaves a positive outcome for the rest of 2017! Happy holidays, everyone, and thanks for listening!
