Ever feel like fun and free are mutually exclusive? Sarah Von Bargen is here to show you that’s totally not the case. In this episode of System for Everything, she joins us to unpack how we can spend our time, money, and energy more intentionally so we live a life we love without becoming broke or exhausted.

In this Episode:

• Why free activities often feel “cheap” or “boring” and how to flip that narrative.
• The habit & mindset shifts that let you treat your city like a vacation destination.
• How using fewer dollars might actually lead to deeper connection, more creativity, and better memories.

This episode is brought to you by The Entrepreneur's Death Folder:

If your business couldn’t run without you, that’s a problem—a haunting your assistant from the beyond kind of problem. That’s where the Entrepreneur’s Death Folder comes in. It’s your digital contingency plan: all your logins, contacts, workflows, and need-to-knows in one tidy, shareable place.
Less spooky, more smart. Because peace of mind is the ultimate productivity tool.

Have you ever walked into a room and felt like no one sees you—let alone remembers you? In today's episode, I'm joined by powerhouse business coach, speaker and marketing strategist Angelica Pompy, who helps creative women build profitable businesses with confidence and clarity.

Listen in as we dig into how to “get in the room,” not just physically, but mentally, emotionally, and strategically. Plus we're talking about how to stay in the room long after you’ve left.

In this Episode:

• How showing up as you (even when you don’t feel totally ready) shifts everything in the networking game.
• A simple system for following up after that unforgettable (or slightly awkward) connection so you don’t fade into the background.
• Why your networking strategy should include your wardrobe, your voice‑memo game, and your Instagram QR code (yes, really).

Ever feel like you don’t belong at the table you built? You’re not alone. I’m talking to Katie Mast, a seasoned creative‑entrepreneur turned community‑builder with big, blunt truths about imposter syndrome.

Katie worked in the wedding, events and creative industries, and worked with industry platforms, so she knows what it’s like to be both visible and unsure. We peel back the stories behind the smiles, unpack the lies imposter syndrome tells you, and build a system for showing up anyway.

In this episode:

• Why success often magnifies imposter feelings instead of curing them.
• Simple rituals that help you dial down doubt in the day‑to‑day.
• How to stop waiting until you “feel ready” and begin acting as if you already are.
