How to get your spark back and other life lessons

Tiny Course Empire Podcast

In 2006, Rachel Martin launched what would later come to known as an “OG Mommy Blog.” She wasn’t sure at the time where it would go, or if it would mean anything to anyone else.

Today that blog has reached more than 50 million page views, and Rachel’s content has been featured in The Today Show, NPR, and many more—including the Tiny Course Empire podcast.

This week, Rachel joins me to talk about how she built a community of more than one million followers on Facebook, how she sets and achieves big goals, and why she loves getting out of her comfort zone.
