Navigating Reviews: Embracing Feedback for Business Growth
In this podcast episode, I discusses the importance of handling reviews, both positive and negative, as a business owner. I share a personal experience of receiving a three-star review and how it affected me emotionally.
I hope to communicate the significance of using reviews to improve one's business, gain credibility, and understand customers' perspectives. The episode also touches on unethical practices related to reviews, such as manipulating reviews for free products or leaving negative reviews on competitors' products.
I share some tips for responding to reviews, including being professional, empathetic, and open to resolving issues. Mostly I want to encourage business owners to embrace feedback and stay true to themselves in their responses to reviews.

In this episode of Your Loving Kick in the Pants, I talk openly about grief, why it’s so hard, but also how it can shape us for the better. I share how serving in my church inspired me to bring up grief as a discussion topic after several recent deaths in my community. I remembered losing my father-in-law to cancer and how that experience changed my outlook on life, family, and purpose. Through loss, I’ve learned that grief gives us “stunning awareness”, a deep understanding that forces us to grow, change, and appreciate what really matters.

In this episode, I talked about how social media management really works for business owners. Many people think hiring someone will fix their consistency, but the truth is, you first need to know your own content, your audience, and your goals. I explained that knowing the basics of your business, what you sell, who you sell to, and what makes you different, is the foundation for creating effective posts. Once you’re clear on that, social media becomes less overwhelming and way more powerful.
