🔔 It's back to (business) school time!
Hi Reader,
And happy second day of September! 🍂☕🍁
Here's my monthly personal update. If you want to do your own monthly review and plan, you can check out my goal-setting system.
In any case, here's what I was up to in August + my plans for September. 😊
August
Goals
- Sign 5 Instagram clients: 0/5, but I feel like I wasn't certain of what I was selling then.
- Promote my two email freebies on YouTube and Pinterest: YouTube kind of, Pinterest no.
- Update website with ShowIt template: not yet.
Struggles
- I felt mysteriously light-headed quite often (though it has now ceased since I stopped intermittent fasting).
- I spent quite a lot of mental energy feeling shame about my weight / body. ➡ Focus on what my body is + can do.
- I didn't exercise or in general do my morning routine as much as I had planned. ➡ Focus on getting to bed on time + my identity as someone who has a nice morning routine and who exercises.
- I didn't unplug "perfectly" during my holiday these past ten days as I still consumed business content. ➡ Accept it + fill holidays with non-work things to focus on. 😊
- I caught a cold. ➡ Allow myself to rest and be okay with resting.
Progress and joy
- I've been feeling super excited about interior design - I even bought an online course! 😊 ➡ Enjoy it. 😊
- I had my second COVID jab.
- I did my first "journal with me" Instagram Live. ➡ Keep doing them on weeks when I don't have IG Live guests booked.
- I created a system so that we don't always just sit around the house on weekends. ➡ Keep following and planning for it.
- I went into town on my own for the first time in ages and bought some clothes for myself. ➡ Keep planning days like that.
- I created my Impactful Instagram strategy for content + engagement to drive 1:1 sales. ➡ Teach it to more people (book your session here)!
- I completely cleaned and tidied the entrance to our house. ✨ ➡ Keep tidying and cleaning as part of my morning routine.
- I started running again! ➡ Prioritise doing my morning routine.
- I started a ritual around my weekly review and plan. ➡ Keep at it. 😊
Podcast episodes
- Episode 15: Instagram strategy – going wide vs. deep
- Episode 16: How to reach a bigger audience on Instagram
- Episode 17: 3 ways to save time creating Instagram content

Hi! I'm Jessica.
All the ingredients to live your best plant-based life! Payday regrets, spring clean and secret projects Hi Reader! It's probably been a while since I popped into your inbox... So here's a quick update of where I'm at, then a round-up of helpful resources to help you live your best plant-based life! I've been working at my job (green spaces development officer at Oxford City Council) for over a year now. And I've gotten into a bit of a habit of looking forward to payday and... spending most...
Hi Reader, How are you doing today? I think our family is almost through the cold that has been slowing us all down and making us a bit grumpier haha. We had a bit of a scare as my partner partially lost his sense of taste, but we both tested negative for COVID so who nose (get it... 👃). Anyway, moving swiftly on from the terrible jokes, I don't have a podcast episode to send you this week. I just wasn't feeling confident on Monday (when I normally record my podcast), so I spent the day...
Hi Reader, How are you doing today? My little boys have a cold, so I'm writing you this email while feeling already a bit tired (and it's only 2 o'clock haha). Hopefully they'll be better by the time I send you next week's email! 🤞 Anyway, I recently recorded a podcast episode about what to invest in for your business to be a success. I'll share it below if you want to give it a listen! But in the meantime, I'd like to know your opinion. At the beginning of the episode, I chatted about *when*...
