A Full Cup of Tea: 2023 Reflections & Lessons

Tea Time with Cassia Marina

In this episode I mention starting my first online business an eCommerce website in 2019, but it’s important to correct that. It was actually started in 2012.

On this episode there are some notable mentions to conversations with Stephanie of The SoVerveLounge and confirmation of a realization I had through a post from Juma Bannister of The Useful Content Podcast.

I go on to reveal some of many lessons from 2023, both business and personal (as the two will always overlap, let no one tell you any different) including:

• The trap of relying solely on any one platform for your business, marketing, or content creator career. There is just so much to more any one platform
• Emphasizing the importance of being present and intentional in offline relationships, particularly for mompreneurs navigating the digital space. I share some personal insights and parenting lessons.
• Providing a fresh perspective on the relationships we cultivate in the online realm.
• Discussing the potential drawbacks of short-form content, how it can be very unhelpful, unhealthy, and even harmful to how we consume and apply free strategies or takes from our favorite educational content creators or in general
• The necessity of revisiting the basics in 2024 and beyond, shedding habits and teachings acquired in the online space over the past four years.

As a bonus:

I touch on the crucial topic of diversity in the online realm, with a nod to those who understand the significance (IYKYK). This episode is a comprehensive and heartfelt exploration that you won't want to miss.
