DEEPLY RESTED PODCAST

Ep. 2: Get Paid To Be Yourself
with Laura Belgray

Ever feel like you’re building your business for someone else?

Many entrepreneurs (especially healers) are taught that their businesses should be blank slates (i.e. BORING). I’m calling BS on that outdated nonsense!  

If you want to avoid burnout, you must make your business a true reflection of YOU. 

Who better to speak on this topic than the Queen of Getting Paid to Be Yourself, Laura Belgray. 

Laura Belgray is a copywriting expert, founder of Talking Shrimp, and co-creator of The Copy Cure. She is a walking inspiration, and I am thrilled to share our conversation with you.
