Have I Got Some Stories For You with Hillary Rea

This week I’m chatting with my friend and fellow podcast host, Hillary Rea. We’ve only known each other for a few years, so most of our relationship has transpired during the pandemic. We’re neighbors who share similar values, and we even get our veggies from the same CSA (Community Supported Agriculture), Taproot Farm.

In this episode, Hillary talks about her monthly virtual meet up called the Speak Up Session. It’s a free gathering for entrepreneurs, leaders & change makers craving a communication style that aligns who they are, what they do, and what they stand for. Check out her website or sign up for her newsletter to get the latest information regarding dates and time. Her November meet up was this past week, so make sure to join in December!

Hillary wrapped up Season 3 of her podcast Roshomon over the summer. While Roshomon has come to its conclusion, Hillary is too passionate about podcasts to walk away from them. While we both agree podcasts are a lot of work, Hillary loves both the audio work as well as helping others find their podcast voice. Which is what she did for me, when I didn’t even know I would be hosting a podcast when we worked together.

Topics Include:

🎧 Taking Chances and Saying Yes (and Knowing When to Say No)

📚 Walking Away from Social Media Actually Helped her Business Grow

🎤 The Power of Googleability 

🎧 Becoming Your Own Tech Expert

📚 Life (and Venues) Coming Full Circle 

🎤 Creating Your Own Opportunities 

🎧 The Importance of Grounding Oneself and Meditation
