All my favorite things

IN LIFE & BUSINESS

People often ask which courses I’ve taken, which tools & software I use, and which microphone or camera I use to record course lessons or blog posts. I firmly believe in sharing details like that, so now instead of asking me you can check it all out for yourself!

my Flexispot Large Standing Desk* + memory presets

⭐️ What We Think

This desk is fantastic! It has a motor that raises and lowers the desktop/tabletop and even has 4 presets that you can set and customize for multiple users or different heights. The motor is pretty quiet, the tabletop is smooth with no cracks or gaps as it comes in one solid piece, and assembly was easy.

I absolutely LOVE my desk! I did a fair bit of research before buying and got almost everything on my wishlist, except drawer storage, but that’s not the end of the world, and still spent less than $300 USD!

my Urevo 3-in-1, Under-Desk Treadmill*

⭐️ What We Think

I did A LOT of research on what to buy and could not be happier with this one!! Easy to assemble, I saved a ton on the price, and it works so much better than I expected. I can easily walk 1-2mph while doing precise/focused work, or up to 2.8mph while doing basic tasks, watching videos, etc. no problem! I love getting more movement throughout my workday and feel a lot more energy after just 1 week of doing this 1x a day.

Descript*: best video editing software

⭐️ WHAT WE THINK

What if you could edit your video content the same way you edit your blog posts? 🤯 With Descript, you can LITERALLY do that!! And now with their new Storyboard features, it’s even easier and you also get a ton of new features with access to “B-Roll” (stock photos & videos, sound effects) & more!!

If you’re a content creator, you CANNOT skip over this seriously badass tool. Film your content, create & edit your transcript, export for YouTube, social media, blog posts, etc & finally create professional video content …without the pro. 😉

ThriveCart*: checkout software, courses & more

⭐️ WHAT WE THINK

ThriveCart does a LOT of things WITHOUT the monthly subscription. For a one-time payment, you get checkout software for digital and physical products, upsell and funnel management, course hosting & management, and a way to build & manage your own affiliate program! Other tools like Kajabi charge more in one year than ThriveCart will cost for a lifetime of use!

Creative Law Shop*: favorite legal templates & contracts

⭐️ WHAT WE THINK

Their “templates were not only drafted by a contract attorney, but have been refined by professionals in each respective industry,” making sure they cover the types of details that only seasoned professionals in that industry know to have covered.

ClickUp*: my project management app

⭐️ WHAT WE THINK

I desperately needed to be able to see the overall progress of anything easily and ClickUp handles this WAY better. I can see progress bars or completed task counts for any list, folder, space, or set of tasks, even if they’re not in the same grouping, which makes it much easier (& more accurate) to monitor client progress in their homework without missing important details or questions they have along the way.

I can also keep so much more ClickUp now, including better support ticketing with a ClickUp form embedded on my website for clients to fill out, and of course, my own business task management where automations & recurring tasks play a very important role.

Notifications are also much easier to control as there are a LOT more options to customize so I see what I want and not what I don’t.

FloDesk*: simple & beautiful email marketing app

⭐️ WHAT WE THINK

Send newsletters, create automations, organize subscribers, embed sign-up forms, create & add popup &/or full-page forms.

FloDesk* is best for beginners or brand new businesses. It has gorgeous email layouts designed to convert, embedded IG feeds, and it’s very easy to use. Use code DAMN50 to get 50% off your subscription for the first year!

ConvertKit*: my favorite email marketing platform

⭐️ WHAT WE THINK

Send newsletters, create automations, organize subscribers, embed sign-up forms, create & add popup &/or full-page forms.

ConvertKit is most popular for established businesses. It’s a lot less design-friendly (for a reason) but a lot more robust than FloDesk, yet still easy to use. Use my referral link & use it for free up to 1,000 subscribers!

Dubsado*: my CRM

⭐️ WHAT WE THINK

Dubsado has all or most of what I need all in one place! Read more about why Dubsado is my favorite business app on my blog, and how I use it for my onboarding processes. Setting up took a long time, but Dubsado has saved me so much time, it's crazy.

SquareKicker*: the no-code web design plugin

⭐️ WHAT WE THINK

SK is a truly unique design plugin specifically for Squarespace (v7.1) websites. You can try it totally free with no commitment, and only pay when you want to publish your edits to the live site! I’ve written lots of posts about my favorite Squarespace design plugin tool over on the blog, including a very detailed review with FAQs here.

Booked Out Designer*, by Elizabeth McCravy

⭐️ What We Think

Elizabeth McCravy is a successful Showit web designer with a website template shop and an awesome podcast who pours her heart & soul into this course. BUT it’s not platform-specific and it doesn’t teach web design at all; in fact, it doesn’t teach design at all. This course is all about the processes of running an online business and learning how to book out your client calendar. The student community is invaluable, the coaching with both Elizabeth & Becky is a fantastic combination of how-to + mindset, and the course material helped my business scale –reaching my first $10k month. Worth every penny and enrollment is always open!

AfterShokz Open Ear Phones*

⭐️ What We Think

These are bone conduction earphones. They don’t go in your ear at all so you can hear everything happening around you. Definitely won’t win any sound quality awards, but they’re safer to use when you need to be aware of your surroundings & they have FANTASTIC battery life!

AirPods Pro*

⭐️ What We Think

Killer sound & full immersion with the noise-canceling feature (which can be turned on OR off!), and decent battery life. With noise cancellation on, I can nearly drown out my husband’s band practice if I need to focus on work while he plays. With it off, I can hear everything around me, on top of the audio I’m playing. These are my FAVORITE earphones!
