My 2023 Content Plan + A Few of My Favorite Things
Listen on Apple | Listen on Spotify
We are officially nearing the end of 2022. And what a year it has been. I feel like the word I’ve been saying on repeat lately is “wild!”
Today’s episode is a special one, as I have an important announcement to share that I’ve been keeping a secret for a long time, plus I’m revealing 10 of my most loved tools and services I’ve been using at Positive Equation that should spark some new ideas.
I’m also sharing what you can expect from December’s episodes (which will include quite a few tactical, short-form case studies, including a Google Ad grant strategy that generated 250 new leads!)
If you have literally five seconds right now while you’re listening to drop a review, that would make my Christmas so special. Thank you!
What you can expect in December from the Missions to Movements Podcast
December is going to be a fun month on the podcast, as I’ll be sharing a few case study episodes.
Stay tuned for episodes on a Google ad strategy that generated 250 new leads, behind the scenes of getting 40+ media hits in a year, and how to raise $8 million dollars in just 45 days!
These guests will be spilling the tea and sharing tactical information that you can take and utilize for your organization. So for the next two Wednesdays, two episodes will drop each day, and then we’ll take a little holiday break. I’ll see you again in January for more new content!
A very special announcement

It has been a whirlwind of a year, but I am so overjoyed to announce that I am 21 weeks along with a healthy baby girl and learning to trust my body and this process every step of the way!

Last December, I experienced a miscarriage at 8 weeks and that was a difficult holiday season. At the time, I didn’t fully understand that I have a chromosome condition that can cause an increase in miscarriages.
It wasn’t until I became an advocate for my own health and pushed hard to be connected with the right people, that I decided to pursue IVF to be able to test our embryos before implantation. In June, we called it quits after 3 rounds and decided to just put our faith in God and pray and manifest like crazy for this gift to grow our family.
We are thrilled and I’m so excited to share this special announcement with you. Naturally, business prep is looking a lot different for March and April of next year!

Notable Quotes from Dana
“My husband and I have been going through a fertility journey this past year looking to grow our family. And we are over the moon excited to share that we are expecting a miracle baby girl due this April!”
“I don’t know why I waited 5 years to get a part time CFO. But hey, we’re here now. And with my CFO, I’ve been able to outline a plan of attempting to take 3 months of maternity leave, and no – these episodes won’t stop! I am batch recording lots of great episodes in advance for you, but there is a lot to streamline to keep my business running while I’m away.”
