Recently on the Heart & Hustle podcast, my husband Landon and Lindsey’s husband, Andrew, took over the podcast. A couple of months ago, you send in questions for them to answer and they didn’t disappoint. They spilled the tea on ALL the things: marriage/relationship, behind the scenes of the Heart, day-to-day life and so much more. It was a doozy, and we learned a few things we didn’t know about the boys and their opinions about us. Because we loved the boys’ episode so much that we decided ...

In this episode, we’re dedicating it to tackling that beast of a topic - business partners - specifically starting a business with a close friend or partner.

Something that we’ve been intentional about this year since our executive retreat is shining more of a spotlight on our INCREDIBLE team behind The Heart University.

So we thought it would be fun to do some guest interviews with the incredible women who...

Instagram can be infuriating sometimes. It's a big game of feeling like you’re doing all the things and getting zero traction OR feeling the comparison and overwhelm because you know you’re NOT showing up as you should, but you’re overwhelmed with where to even START. You're lost when it comes to Instagram, and you feel like you can never beat that dang algorithm. When it comes to Instagram you feel like you just always need MORE. More followers. More time. More content. More engagement. And you...

Sick and tired of just dancing and pointing like a fool to grow on IG? What if we told you there is another way? It’s true.

It can feel frustrating when you’re not the least bit wanting to join those bandwagons but feel that you don’t really have another option in order to grow. So then you give up. Does that all sound familiar? Perfe...
