Mouse Incident and Initial Reaction
The vlog starts with the creator discovering something large in her toaster, which she suspects is a mouse. Overcome by her phobia, she immediately calls her mom for advice. Her mom suggests shaking the toaster outside to identify the object, but the creator throws the toaster away due to her fear. This leads to anxiety about a potential mouse infestation, despite no prior signs like droppings or noises. She plans to call an exterminator as a precaution, leveraging her resources to be "safe rather than sorry." A friend later points out the unlikelihood of a dead mouse in the toaster without other signs. The creator begins to question if she was spiraling and paranoid.
European Cruise and Travel Sickness
The creator recounts her recent 12-day European cruise, starting in London and including stops in Cork, Dublin, Belfast, Glasgow, Edinburgh, and Paris. She expresses her love for Ireland, particularly its history and the resilience of its people. She also reaffirms her affection for Paris and French culture. However, she got sick halfway through the trip, likely due to jet lag and disrupted sleep schedule (averaging only six hours of sleep per night). The lack of protein in the vegan food options on the ship may have also contributed. Despite the illness, the trip made her appreciate the comforts of home.
Business and Personal Goals
The creator reflects on her business goals for the year, admitting she is unlikely to meet her sales targets due to a lack of focus and organization. She feels motivated to make the most of Q4 and is starting a new membership called "Down To Business," a free coworking call. She also mentions having coaching calls as part of her membership. She expresses a desire for a "fresh start" and is planning a deep clean of her house.
Studio Update and Photo Shoot
The creator's studio has a new logo on the front door. She had a client, a financial therapist named Lindsay from Mind Money Balance, rent the space while she was away. She had a photo shoot at the studio with Michelle Lippert (michellelippert.com, Michelle Lippert Photo on Instagram). She used press-on nails from an internet friend who does custom nail art.
Podcast and CEO Day
The creator dedicates Fridays to "CEO days," focusing on working "on the business, not just in the business." She records a podcast episode, "clapping back at a hater" who criticized her age and success. She was nervous about the episode's reception but received positive feedback. She plans to update her website to reflect the studio's capabilities and the new logo.
Manifestation and Personal Reflections
The creator discusses manifestation, emphasizing that it requires action and positive energy, not just wishful thinking. She reflects on a good week, attributing it to being genuinely happy for her friends' successes. She had a "cute little date" on Saturday. She also mentions a bonus vlog in her "Down To Business" group, where she gets more personal and talks about tarot cards and her love life.
