About this episode
Every year teaches us something. (well, probably a lot of somethings).
This year's lessons changed my life and business from the inside out. It was a year of sneaky, quiet, LOUD lessons and hard truths that made me question everything and get clear and grounded on what matters most.
In this special end-of-year episode, I'm sharing my 3 top lessons of the past year and how each changed my approach to business and life.
- How you do one thing is how you do everything. Deciding who you are and who you're becoming
- Clear branding inspires confidence in who you are and who you're becoming
- No one person can be everything (including you)
- And more!

I'm Emily Aborn, a Small Business Copywriter and host of Small Business Casual. I help small businesses grow with marketing that makes a distinct imprint. I believe that sharing your work goes beyond strategies, frameworks, content for content’s sake, more social media posts, more, more, more.
Successful marketing starts with a big picture approach and begins with genuine connection as you step into becoming (and sharing) the real YOU.
