Hannah Brencher joins us for Smart Girl Summer

Hey hey friends! I’m sure you’ve heard the phrase “Hot Girl Summer,” but around here, we’re having Smart Girl Summer.

Smart Girl Summer is an eight week series featuring some of my most brilliant friends sharing behind-the-scenes stories that you won’t hear anywhere else. And we’re kicking it off with Hannah Brencher!

Hannah is a best-selling author, speaker, and entrepreneur, and y’all have loved her episodes in the past. She is such a breath of fresh air when it comes to running a business, staying creative, and embracing God’s plan for her life. 

We dive into how she got her start, the lessons she learned from passion projects that didn’t go as planned, how she manages imposter syndrome, and what she does when she feels herself beginning to play the comparison game.

Listen in as we discuss: 

• The freedom that comes with giving yourself permission to try new things (and not be great at them!). 
• How we handle the reactions of church friends when they find out our husbands are both full-time Dads while each of us are the breadwinners for our families.
• What a good workflow looks like, and how they can help you reach the goals you set for yourself.

 

Favorite quotes:

1. I don’t want people to be spectators in the lives of other people. I want them to be fully in their lives.


2. I spent so many years being so scared that I wasn’t in the calling of God. And then I realized that's not how it works. Go out there, experiment, have fun with things. I would have never known that I could be an entrepreneur if I didn’t give myself that permission.


3. Just because it’s been done this one way 1000 times before, doesn’t mean that it’s what you have to do. 

4. Make sure you finish things as well as you start them. Don’t let the momentum keep you from doing a good job from all angles. 

5. Do the thing that scares you.

6. Invest in the craft instead of the applause.
