• Mental health matters. If you’re reading that and thinking, uh yeah Corrie, I know...I challenge you to truthfully think about what it is that’s brings you happiness (in business or in personal life) and then consider what is causing major wear and tear. For me, in this moment mentor sessions bring me INSANE happiness and fulfillment. So my energy is shifting in that direction currently and I am THRIVING in that space. It gives me the opportunity to help another creative no matter where they are in their journey. It also allows me to wear my “educator hat” which I hold so near and dear AND my “business hat” simultaneously. What has been weighing me down lately is Instagram and showing up on my feed. So I gave myself a week off from my feed to show up in different ways and it’s been so empowering! BABY I’M BACK! And better because of it 🥳 I created a few reels and made a list of over a dozen more I can’t wait to create. Meanwhile, we got serious about some fun home renovations we have been dreaming of for years! Are you following this journey with us?! Here I am showing up to help hold you accountable! So tell me (business or personal!), what is giving you life right now and what’s weighing you down? How can we find balance in maintaining your mental health through it all?

  • BIG NEWS, FRIENDS ✨ I have 6 spots remaining for Full Sessions in 2021! I know that sounds silly seeing that there is still snow on the ground and many people may not be thinking about photos, BUT that’s where we are and I don’t want my people missing out!!! As always, I am so appreciative of you for supporting my small business and encouraging me along the way! I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again...YOU are the reason I’m able to do what I love while raising my babies from home. And if a session isn’t in the cards for you and I together this year, your support right here on this platform does not go unnoticed. Every single time you engage with my content, you’re playing a role in CBP! For that, I say thank you, friend ❤️ And if you’ve already booked with me this year OMG I can’t wait to squeeze you! 🥰

  • Listen, I get it. Being a business owner can be hard and good LAWD making “big girl biz moves” can certainly take a toll (*insert over-thinker Corrie*). But if there’s anything I’ve learned it’s that you need to follow your gut, follow your heart and for goodness sake, follow your BRAIN 🤯 Running a small (or BIG) business means sometimes doing things that are best for your family and career path. It’s a guarantee that your growth and game plan might not align with every single client you’ve ever served. For me, this is HARD for many reasons but the greatest being that I sincerely LOVE working with every single one of them. My next move puts my family even more so at the forefront and I’m so grateful for this job and everyone who has stuck with me through the years and growth I’ve made. I know that’s all very vague and blah, that’s so annoying 🤣 but CBP has big things on the horizon and I’m feeling grateful for this business and the opportunities that have come my way. For tonight, my advice to anyone working towards making big decisions as a “solo show” would be to find your tribe. Get yo’self some badass boss babes (or dudes) that allow you to bounce your dreams at them for some advice. My crew has never steered me wrong. I love you and you know who you are 😘 I always claim to be the greatest hype girl out there so what do you got cooking with your business?! Let me cheer you on and give you the push you need!

  • Because we spent the weekend in snow and then came home to the most snow we’ve had all winter, this flashback from TWO years ago felt appropriate. HOW was this two whole years ago?! I can’t tell you how amazing it felt to unplug and unwind this weekend. So so SO good for the soul 🙌🏻 and tomorrow I’ll hit the ground running playing catch-up on all the things. Yes emails, I’m looking at you. I hope you all made some time for yourself and your family this weekend! How many of you enjoyed the snow? How many of you cursed it? 🤣

  • THE ALGORITHM. Let’s talk about it shall we? How about them “saves?” Maybe expand that to shares, likes, and comments. Rumor has it, saves are the ultimate like? Plot twist. ENGAGEMENT is the ultimate “like!” Save is merely ONE FORM of engagement. Are saves important? From my personal experience YES! Are they the MOST important? Honestly, I have no idea. But what I do know, is that engagement (in any form) is beneficial for you and your insights. The more people interact with you, the more likely IG will be to “bump” you to be seen in front of a greater audience. Imagine this scenario: 📲you post on IG ❤️ people engage (quickly and authentically) 🤔IG “hmmm, this must be GOOD content. And we want our users to experience GOOD content. I think imma boost this B for more to see.” 🤩the greater the engagement, the higher the reach It’s not complicated, but it’s work. It’s up to YOU to put in the time, show up consistently, and provide valuable content that people will WANT to engage with. This is YOUR platform. Once the audience shows up, give them something to stick around for. Here are some things I recommend: 👉🏻always, ALWAYS comment back. Especially after you’ve posted. Don’t just “post and ghost.” 👉🏻create a community with your followers 👉🏻engage in THEIR work too! Show up for them in ways you’d like your community to show up for you! I hope this was helpful and takes some stress off of “the most important feature on IG.” Because if you ask me, the key components of your IG is your voice and your fingertips. Just show up! Now get to engaging, friends! And save this post for future reference 😜 What are some ways you’ve found IG to work for you?
