Welcome to episode 235 of The Food Blogger Pro Podcast! This week on the podcast, Bjork talks about how you can set better goals in the new year.

If you’ve experienced this with your new years goals, you’re not alone. And if you have some goals or resolutions you wish to keep this year, we think you’re really going to love this episode. Bjork’s tips will help you create goals that will last and help you accomplish those goals with the right mindset.

And our hope is that some of the principles and tools that UJ and Bjork talk about in this episode can make a positive impact in your new year.

So if you’re looking for a little accountability and actionable ways you can accomplish those goals next year, I think you’re really going to enjoy this episode.

Welcome to episode 226 of The Food Blogger Pro Podcast! This week on the podcast, we’re rewinding back to our episode with Melissa Coleman called, “The Year of the Pivot.”

This episode is still one of our very favorite FBP Podcast episodes, and we think it’ll be helpful, especially since we’re already a month into the Q4 craziness that we typically face as food bloggers.

I think Melissa’s experiences will resonate with you as she talks about why it’s important to play, how to recover from a “fall” in your business, and how to find what feeds your soul.

This is such a great episode, and we’re so excited to re-share it with you today!
