Action Is the Antidote

Dear Reader, There are moments when staying silent feels safer—especially when you’re a solopreneur or a leader who needs to be cautious with your visibility. When your name is your brand. Not because you don’t care—but because you don’t always feel you have the resources or the power to influence real change. Here’s the shift I’ve been holding onto lately: speaking up as a solopreneur isn’t about having the perfect words. It’s about acting with integrity, even in small ways. Over the past year, one of the activists and solopreneurs who has truly inspired me is Melissa Dalton Bradford. One day, she picked up her phone from the floor of her bedroom and decided to speak up. She started teaching on Instagram how democracies fall, how authoritarianism takes root, and what we can actually do about it. In just one year, she grew her platform from fewer than 2,000 followers to over 340,000. It is a true honor to welcome her as a guest on The Time Is Now Podcast. This interview with Melissa will help you: • Make sense of what’s happening in the world without drowning in misinformation. 👉🏼 Listen to the full episode here. One idea from our conversation has stayed with me all week: I hope this episode brings you as much hope and inspiration as it did for me. I can’t wait to hear your thoughts on this. With care, P.S. In this episode, Melissa shares valuable books and resources to help you understand what’s happening right now—and take action. Click here to check them out. |

Hi Reader, Lately, I’ve been noticing the same pattern—both in myself and in many conversations with solopreneurs. You’re still committed. You still care deeply about your work. And yet… deep down, you know something needs to shift. However, to figure it out, you must carve out space beyond the familiar routines and the constant hustle that have defined your business for years—regardless of whether they still serve you. This is what I talk about in the latest episode of The Time Is Now. I...
Hi Reader, I have some exciting news to share with you! But before, I have a question: Have you ever felt that tension between knowing you need to be more visible to grow your business… and feeling that the way you’re showing up just isn’t right anymore? That’s exactly where I found myself a little over a year ago. I had episodes ready. My business was growing. From the outside, everything was “great.” But continuing to show up just to stay visible and attract clients felt misaligned. At the...
