Hello, hello, hello. My lovely, lovely, amazing people out there. It's Julie Solman.

I didn't know if you knew this, but this is the influencer podcast. Oh my gosh. It is clearly the middle of the week.

And it is clearly almost the end of the year. Can we just take that in for a minute? I mean, wow.

I'm looking at my window right now. The leaves are changing. Well, the leaves are dead pretty much. I think we're past changing by this point.

But it's crazy. You know, this time of the year makes me very reflective. I'm sure a lot of you can can relate to that. And it makes me really look back at how this year is gone.

The things that I have really appreciated about this year, the things that I have not liked about the year, just really how I want to show up and level up myself.

The way that I lead the way that I parent the way that I wifey. I don't know if that's like a way that you do things, but you know what I mean, the way that I'm showing up as the one that I am in this world.

And I had the fortunate opportunity over this last year to lead and support a lot of incredible women through my mastermind shine.

And it was one of the most, I would say probably the most proudest and and funnest experiences that I've ever had.

Being a leader, being in this online space, really supporting these women in this mastermind. And there were also some moments that were really challenging, trying to balance it all, trying to really figure out how I wanted to show up, how I wanted to lead.

But I will say that the opportunity to get to show up and support women in this way has been one of my most grateful memories of this year.

And I'm really excited because we are doing shine again in 2022. We actually have applications currently open for our 2022 season.

If you are a leader, an entrepreneur, an expert, and you're wanting to be surrounded by other six and seven figure earners.

If you're wanting to up level your impact, your ability to be seen to be recognized, if you're ready to speak on stages, if you're ready to finally get that book that you've had in your heart and in your head out into the world, that is really what we support each other in doing.

And we take my incredible network of mentors and people that I know just from my vast world of influence that I have been able to build and a lot of that reason is due to this very podcast.

And we use that and we utilize that to get what we want and to grow and to excel. And one of the women that has done just that this year is Elise Armitage and she is our guest today.

And what I love about Elise and watching her grow this year is how she was able to really set herself up to make the leap from the blogging rat race is what I typically call it and what I mean by that for you that are bloggers, you're going to probably be nodding your head right now.

You're going to know what I mean by that. But for those who are not bloggers, what I mean by that is in the world of blogging, you can very quickly and easily find yourself get into this rat race of kind of, you know, you create content, you get it out, you create content, you get it out, you got to take photos, you got to link affiliates, you've got to do all of this stuff to kind of get your content out into the world.

And a lot of times it can feel like it can't be evergreen. And so you're just on this content creation hamster will what I love about Elise is how she was able to very quickly figure out that that's not how she wanted to live her life.

And but she knew that she loved blogging and she's really good at it. She actually left Google to do it full time. She's a smart cookie and she went all in and the way that she has figured out this year how to diversify her revenue streams as a blogger

to be able to truly get off that hamster wheel and live life on her terms, renovate her house, travel, go to crease, like do all of the amazing things that she's been able to do with her husband. It's not only inspiring, but it truly, it's, it's awesome, like it's awesome. I am just an awe of her and how she's been able to do this. And because I know that so many of you are content creators and so many of you

and even if you don't have a blog if if you are someone who is wanting to use social media or the world that is the internet to grow your business to make money to become more recognized, then you need to know how Elise made this happen.
