Why do smart, capable people stall on ideas they actually care about?

In this episode of Rabbit, Rabbit, Kristine and her cofounder Danielle unpack a pattern they see everywhere, high performers who aren't failing, but drifting. The business idea you revisit every Sunday night. The creative project that's been "almost started" for years. The next chapter that lives in a notes app called Maybe Someday.

This episode breaks down why stalling has nothing to do with laziness or lack of ambition and everything to do with staying abstract. When ideas never get contained, they stay safe… and nothing moves.

You'll hear:

• Why "drift" looks productive but quietly kills momentum

• How smart people confuse talking, planning, and researching with progress

• The real reason starting feels scarier than staying stuck

• Why perfectionism is often just fear dressed up as taste

• The hidden cost of staying in potential instead of proof

• How simple structure (not motivation) creates clarity and forward motion

If you've been circling the same idea for months — or years — this episode is your mirror. You don't need a five-year plan. You don't need more discipline. You need a container that turns endless thinking into one real step.

✨ Mentioned in this episode:
Kristine and Danielle's live, 90-minute working session From Idea to Action, designed to help you turn one idea into a clear, simple 30-day marketing plan you'll actually follow.

Because clarity isn't something you wait for.
It's something you build — one contained step at a time.

Rabbit, Rabbit. Go create your own luck.

From Stuck to Started: Why Perfect Planning Is Keeping You Paralyzed

You know you could consult. You know you could teach. You know you have an offer people would pay for. So why are you still stuck?

In this episode, I'm getting real about the gap between knowing what you want to do and actually doing it. I share my own journey through years of corporate media acquisitions—watching brands get diluted, missions get compromised, and work I loved become entangled with systems I never signed up for.

If you're spinning your wheels perfecting your branding, building the "complete" website, or waiting for the perfect moment to launch, this one's for you. We talk about:

• Why the fear doesn't disappear when things are "perfect" (it just finds new things to worry about)

• The three things you actually need to start (and it's way less than you think)

• Why starting messily beats waiting for certainty that will never come

• What happens when you confuse preparation with procrastination

Plus, I'm sharing details about our January 30th live workshop "From Idea to Action"—a working session where you'll build your actual plan with real feedback, not just take notes you'll never look at again.

Thirty days from now, you could still be thinking about it. Or you could be moving. Your choice.

The rules of work have changed. Are you still playing by the old ones?

Flexibility isn't a perk anymore; it's baseline empathy. Burnout isn't about working too hard, it's about working out of alignment. And the career ladder? It doesn't look anything like it used to.

In this episode, we're breaking down the five trends reshaping work in 2026, but not as predictions. As invitations.

You'll learn:

• Why flexibility is really about working from who you are, not just where you are

• The difference between vulnerability and emotional labor (and why one builds trust while the other kills it)

• What people actually mean when they say they want "career development" (hint: it's not a promotion)

• Why burnout is a system failure, not a personal one, and how to spot the difference

• How to navigate work-life blur without losing yourself in the process

Plus, I'm sharing my own answers to three questions that will define how you show up in 2026. If you're done performing productivity and ready to architect a career that actually fits your life, this episode is your blueprint.

Why Authenticity Isn't Enough Anymore, And Why Connection Matters More Than Ever

In this episode of "Rabbit, Rabbit," Kristine and Danielle unpack why "being authentic" has started to feel more like a performance than a practice, and what real connection actually looks like. From vulnerability theatre and oversharing-for-clout to the quiet power of consistency, they explore how brands (and humans) can show up online without faking the "realness."

Danielle shares what she's learned from her own @HappiestInHeels community, where spontaneous, unfiltered moments in store dressing rooms connect far deeper than any curated "behind-the-scenes" ever could. Together, they reveal why clarity is the new currency of trust.

You'll hear:

• How "authenticity" became performance art
  
  

• The difference between vulnerability and manipulation
  
  

• Why clarity, consistency, and specificity are stronger than any emotional reveal
  
  

• How to stop "proving" your humanity and start showing it
  
  

• What audiences actually respond to (hint: it's not another Notes App apology)
  
  

If you've ever wondered how to be real and strategic, this episode will change how you think about brand voice, storytelling, and showing up online. Because authenticity isn't something you post, it's something you practice.

Gratitude is powerful, but it doesn't mean you have to stay small, quiet, or constantly "fine."

In this episode, we're rescuing gratitude from the wellness-industrial-complex and reclaiming it as a practice that actually serves you. Because real gratitude isn't about bypassing your reality or performing contentment for an audience. It's about holding both what is and what's possible, without apologizing for either.

If you're a high-achiever, creative, or someone building something outside the traditional mold, gratitude can feel complicated. Maybe even weaponized. You've been told to "just be grateful" when what you really needed was permission to want more.

In this episode, you'll discover:

• Why gratitude has been turned into a silencing tool (and how to recognize when it's being used against you)
• The 3 myths about gratitude that keep you stuck and small
• What honest, embodied gratitude actually sounds like when you stop performing it
• 3 practical gratitude practices that won't make you cringe
• Why gratitude and ambition aren't enemies—they're partners
• How to navigate Thanksgiving and holiday expectations without performing gratitude on cue

What if your burnout isn't from doing too much, but from believing you always have to?

In this episode of Rabbit, Rabbit, Kristine cuts through the surface-level mindset talk to expose the real operating system beneath your strategy: your beliefs. The ones you absorbed from grind culture, toxic bosses, or outdated definitions of success.

We're talking about the actual reasons your strategy keeps stalling, like:

• The hustle hangover that keeps you equating rest with laziness

• Success PTSD that makes you sabotage your next level

• DIY martyrdom that convinces you asking for help = weakness

Plus, three powerful mindset shifts you can start practicing today to move from stuck to sustainable success.

This isn't about thinking positively. It's about taking the power back.

Getting laid off isn't the end of your story, it might just be the moment it finally starts to make sense.

In this episode of Rabbit, Rabbit, Kristine and Danielle (one of the other co-founders of OOO-Marketing) open up about the day 200 people (including themselves) were let go from the jobs that had defined so much of their lives, jobs they'd built their identities around, and how that gut-punch became the catalyst for everything that came next. Their story, featured in the new book, and instant bestseller, All The Cool Girls Get Fired, is proof that even the hardest endings can spark entirely new beginnings.

From grief to gratitude, panic to possibility, they unpack the emotional rollercoaster of losing your job, the lessons they didn't see coming, and the life they built because of it, not in spite of it.

You'll hear:

• What really happens in those first 72 hours after a layoff

• The five biggest mistakes people make after losing a job (and what to do instead)

• Why identity shouldn't be tied to your job title

• How to rebuild a career that fits your life, not the other way around

• The power of community (and why reinvention is a team sport)

If you've ever been laid off, or felt stuck in a job that stopped lighting you up, this one's for you. Because sometimes, losing your job is how you finally find your purpose.

🎧 Listen now, and don't miss the book All The Cool Girls Get Fired, where the origin story of OOO-Marketing appears alongside powerful job loss stories from Oprah, Katie Couric, Lisa Kudrow and more, proving that sometimes, the layoff is the launchpad.

Some brands don't have a marketing problem. They have a clarity problem.

In this episode, Kristine breaks down why even the smartest founders and teams end up with fuzzy, forgettable messaging and how to fix it fast. From the "Buffet Positioning Trap" to "Therapy-Speak Messaging" to the ego leaks that kill connection, you'll learn how to build a message that actually lands.

This isn't about wordsmithing. It's about leadership. Because your messaging is a mirror: if it's confusing, your audience isn't the only one who's unclear—you are.

Expect hard truths, real examples (Amazon, Glossier, Nike, WeWork), and simple fixes that bring your brand back into focus.

In this episode:

• The #1 reason your message isn't landing and what to do instead

• Why therapy-speak kills conversions (and how to rewrite it)

• The subtle ego traps founders fall into when trying to sound "different"

• How to lead your brand with conviction, not confusion
