A Mother’s Day Letter on Pursuing Dreams | Non-Alcoholic Beer

Our founder, Emree Woods, is a dreamer, businesswoman, connoisseur of incredible non-alcoholic beer, and leads the Rightside Brewing team. She is also a wife and mom – roles that are equally important to her. This Mother’s Day, she felt it was fitting to share her dreamer’s heart with her kids. Check out her open letter below. Dear Maisie & Keating, Dream BIG! An early lesson I learned from your uncle was to put the bottom line up front #BLUF. It’s Mother’s Day 2021, and while Mother’s Day tends to gravitate towards awesome breakfasts and flowers (love them both by the

how do you overcome perfectionism?

Hi y’all, In this week’s goal setting chat, I had the chance to talk to Stephanie Gieseke with Sparkle Rise Thrive. Stephanie is a business coach that helps with process improvement and solving complex business problems to help businesses thrive. She had a lot of great goal setting tips, but one that stood out to me was a common pitfall she sees with perfectionism & goal setting. I can certainly relate to this, but I’m trying to work on seeing progress in any positive change even if it falls short of my big, hairy audacious goal. For those that had

how to set and achieve your goals for 2021

New Year’s resolutions are upon us! Fun fact: New Year’s has always been one of my favorite holidays. I love all the traditions that come with pressing the reset button (particularly after a year like 2020). A lot of people knock resolutions because people fail to stick with them. I on the other hand, really appreciate the collective effort on self-improvement regardless of the outcome. I approach resolutions and goals a little differently each year. In past years, I’ve thought of a mantra and set a few goals around that. I love that Oprah chooses a “word” for her year

what to do when you don’t reach your goals

Who doesn’t love a fresh start? I love setting a new goal or tackling a project, and part of that desire comes from an innate pull for self-improvement. But what happens when we fall short and how do we keep going? The process of setting the goal usually involves identifying something that will help me be the version of myself I aspire to be. I will typically set a timeline with actionable steps.  But admittedly, I fall short of a lot of goals I set and the disappointment ensues. Y’all may remember my gratitude challenge for myself – “write something

how to source inspiration

I’ve been thinking about the people and experiences lately that have really helped solidify my goals and dreams. First and foremost, I credit my family and friends that motivate me each and every day; however, there are other sources of inspiration that give me that extra boost. Whether it’s people that have been there and done that or visual exercises I do to remind me of my long-term goals, these are all immensely helpful in keeping me excited for what’s to come.    Game changing people – On social media, I follow a handful of entrepreneurs I admire to keep

what’s in a 30 day challenge?

What’s in a 30 day challenge? Some of y’all may have heard of Sober October – a challenge to not drink alcohol for the month of October. A lot of people also participate in Dry January (same concept, different month). I started thinking about these types of challenges, the motivation behind them, and why they work. Other wellness challenges that come to mind are Whole 30 and various 30-day fitness challenges like holding planks every day for a month. Let’s dig into the motivation behind these challenges and find out if they are effective. Psychological Pull – There’s a pull

Mental Health Awareness

Today is World Mental Health Awareness Day, and we know 2020 in particular has strained our collective mental and emotional health. Kaiser Center for Public Health has reported between the COVID-19 pandemic and the resulting economic impacts, 53% of people report a negative impact on their mental health as a result. If there is any silver lining in this (and trust me, I know it’s sometimes tough to find), I feel like the conversations around mental health are happening more openly than pre-pandemic. I talk about struggles, effects of isolation, etc. with friends and family with more ease. Maybe because

self-education

Final post of self-improvement month! I hope y’all have enjoyed the tips & topics we’ve shared on bettering ourselves. Either way, we’d welcome your feedback on what you did and didn’t like in the comments below.    Today, I am featuring ways to focus on self-education. There has been SO much I didn’t know while starting Rightside, and frankly, Google has been a great friend and resource. But when a quick Google search doesn’t do the trick, I wanted to highlight some sources that may help with some of your continuous improvement goals.    Online Courses – I signed up
