About this episode
You are not "just" anything. You're not just a business owner, parent, spouse, community member, speaker, podcaster, writer, etc.
You're a multifaceted human being who gets to bring your WHOLE self everywhere you go!
Just like a recipe made up of lots of parts and pieces, a dash of this and a dash of that, we are too. In this episode, I'm sharing some ideas that have helped me grow in my business and throughout my entire life in small, surprising ways.
Join me as I share:
- 3 Myths about owning a business while having a life
- 5 Ideas to spark joy outside work that will help you thrive in surprising ways
- Bonus mini-routines that can increase creativity, help you connect to others, learn about the world around you, and grow
- And more!

About Me:
I’m Emily Aborn, a Small Business Copywriter and host of Small Business Casual. I help small businesses grow with marketing that makes a distinct imprint. I believe that sharing your work goes beyond strategies, frameworks, content for content’s sake, more social media posts, more, more, more.
Successful marketing starts with a big picture approach and begins with genuine connection as you step into becoming (and sharing) the real YOU.
