When you read this, I will be in Nashville. Well, the Gaylord Opryland to be more specific as I will be there for Scoop, the cabi conference and 99% of the time I won’t be leaving the resort grounds. I am really excited; I went to Scoop the last time it was in Nashville and…
Before Friday’s post went live, I asked members of the WO2 Community to ask any questions they had about how blogs make money. One asked how my life changed being a full-time career blogger versus keeping it a part-time job. The biggest change has been the pitching, the negotiating, the courting of brands…

It was a tough week, and I realize one reason it was so tough was because I now don’t have normal periods but perimenopause periods. Women over 40, you know what I mean. It’s something no one talks about but it suuuuucks. It’s like I’m 13 again. My period comes late, it comes early, it…
