Ever wanted to host an event but talked yourself out of it because it felt too big, too costly, or too complicated?

In-person connection is having a moment, and the businesses that know how to gather people well are the ones getting remembered. This week, Monique sits down with Ann Rau, marketing and events strategist and the behind-the-scenes force behind many Silver Paw Studio events, for a conversation that goes well beyond the usual "who's your ideal client?"

You'll hear why smaller events can be the most powerful ones, how a humble craft class became a party that won a sponsor new clients, and what most planners leave out of the conversation entirely (hint: it's the part that keeps your business healthy).

Ann also gets real about:

• The visibility strategy that's paying off for her, and why where you show up matters more than how often
• What she does on the hard days, when the business is weighing on you and you can't turn your brain off
• A quick grounding practice you can do at your desk, right before a client call, or before you walk on stage. Monique is already planning to rewatch it.

If you've ever felt invisible in your business, this one will remind you that you already have what you need to be unforgettable.

Remember: you are not invisible. You have everything you need to be unforgettable.

Even when you love your business, there are days when your brain says, “I don’t want to do this anymore.”

So what do you do with that?

In this episode of Invisible to Unforgettable, Monique sits down with women’s coach Robin McIntire to talk about the pressure ambitious women put on themselves, the stories our brains tell us when things feel hard, and what Robin has learned after decades of helping women navigate both.

They also dig into what actually makes someone unforgettable. Is it your expertise? Your marketing? Your story? Robin shares what she believes has helped her stand out and why she’s changed the way she approaches connecting with people and growing her business.

You’ll hear about the pressure to handle it all, those days when you suddenly question everything, why your personal story may matter more than you think, and what can happen when you stop making every conversation about an outcome.

And yes, there’s a hamster on a roller coaster involved.

If you’ve ever wondered whether you’re the only business owner who occasionally thinks, “Maybe I should just quit,” this conversation is for you.
