I’m back from California!
This time, it was NOT for business, but pleasure.
My husband and I spent a few days there for my birthday and tried to “Come on Down”, but we weren't called.
However, we did get seats in the front row, so you will see us on The Price is Right on Monday, February 26th!
While we were in California, the series premiere episode of Health Uncensored! with Dr. Drew aired on Fox Business.
If you missed it, you can catch the replay on Hulu or watch the segments on the website.
The next episode is Sunday, February 4th at 5:30 ET / 2:30 PT on Fox Business.
Sometimes clients will ask, "Why did our competitor get featured in top-tier media, but not us?"
Based on my experience as a journalist and owner of a publicity and content creation agency, here are some reasons why.
1. Your business may be relatively new, with an underdeveloped website, limited social media content, or restricted product availability.
Consider starting with trade and local media to build your reputation.
2. PR is a long-term game.
Big placements often result from consistent efforts and building media relationships over months or years.
Don't give up too soon; smaller wins pave the way for bigger ones.
3. Enhance your online presence, engage with reporters, and share industry expertise on your website, blog, social media, or other platforms to make it easier for media to find you.
There are three more reasons.

I’m off to Ohio this weekend to be in my sister’s wedding. Technically, I’m the matron of honor, but I reject that title on principle. “Matron” sounds old, and no one wants to be anybody’s maid. So I’m calling myself the best woman. Equal rights, etc. Also, I’m the minister. Which means it took me about two minutes and $35 to become legally qualified to marry them, so please wish me luck. Feels like a system with a little too much trust in me, but here we are. In other news, I was having a...
If you were anywhere near Bookstagram this week, you probably saw the drama. A major Bookstagrammer posted that some of the books she used to love are no longer books she supports because of her “biblical convictions.” Just one slide from what I'm calling religious psychosis And listen, people can change their minds. People can evolve and decide something is not for them anymore. But that is not why people got upset. What made everyone collectively go, girl... what? was the way it felt like...
A year and a half ago, I bought a vending machine off Facebook Marketplace and dropped it into our local community center because, apparently, I like turning random ideas into family businesses. At first, Landon was ALL in. Every week, he was ready to check inventory, restock snacks, and count the money. (Very CEO energy for a fourth grader.) Now? The novelty has worn off just a little. He is significantly less thrilled about weekly vending machine maintenance, which honestly feels like a...
