bonny, what about "...the things you don't want to talk about...but need to know"?

Along those lines, my suggestion is "...but still need to talk about."

Ouchies, Nora! Heal quickly!

IOworkN, I just got voluntold (thanks whoever came up with that word, sorry I cannot remember which spicy brain it came from) to accompany one of the individuals to Hooters for his birthday. For weeks he had been saying he wanted to go to a strip club, but his dad suggested Hooters for dinner instead. Good thinking, dad, cuz a strip club would be even more more awkward for the women who work the PM shift to pull off. Somebody else has a funeral to go to this week, can't I do that instead?

Andi, do you mean, "The web show about the things you still need to talk about"?

I have a confession. This marketing language is the thing that stops me every time I have an idea for how to move forward. Honestly, it is the thing that has blocked my success for the last 13 years.

It makes me want to curl up in a ball.

I've never gotten it right.

I have so much to do...I'm teetering on the ragged edge of disaster right now, on several levels...and THIS is what keeps me from...well, everything.

I'd love to put a cheerful face on it...but just don't have one.

Sorry bonny, I mean the whole "web show where we talk about the things you just don't want to talk about...but still need to."

ETA: The marketing language is something that can be easily enough out-sourced - if not for free here in the B.org hivemind then it is worth investing the money in the fees. Which I know is tough for you, because you operate on a shoestring budget, but perhaps there is a way to crowdfund it, or offer work in trade for the marketing expertise you need.

I just reached out to someone from the March who markets for a living. It seems rather brash, considering we haven't seen each other in umpty years, but I'm feeling desperate.

I truly do not have the money to pay right now, which is the incredibly exasperating thing about this whole thing.

Without the resources to reach farther, I can't make enough money to reach farther. "Can't make money without money."

Argh.

In the less whiny portion of the program, I figured out how to add 'lower thirds' to my videos...those scrolling text boxes you see at the bottom of a news screen, for instance. And I have a snappy new 'outro' that is clean and cool.

I'm actually pretty proud of my mastery...heh, no really, ::stumbling acquisition::...of the tech stuff.

The web show where we talk about the things in life that are hard to face, and even harder to talk about.

How about, "A Webshow about tackling life's hardest moments."

I'm sitting right next to you on the paralyzed by marketing bench, Bonny.

My current tagline is: A web show where we talk about the things you just don't want to talk about...but should.

The web show where we talk about the things in life that are hard to face, and even harder to talk about.

Neither of these gives me a good idea about how this would benefit me. Do you just talk about those things? Do you tell me how to talk about them? What is the take-away for the audience? ND's suggestion is more on the mark to me.

I like it, ND.

Ginger, more often than not, I help people figure out how to talk about things. We change the "Life Script."

I get calls from people, years later, telling me that they faced something successfully because they heard my voice in their heads. The tools are pithy 'thought replacements' that bring a more balances perspective into any given moment.

It isn't JUST about dealing with crisis though...it's about finding the language to make a good relationship better...finding the right livelihood, no matter where you are on the career path...letting go of family burdens...learning the truth about yourself and loving it.

eta: OH. And what sets me apart is that I'm NOT like many therapists or coaches who follow a set program and hope you fit into it, or who let you wander all over the track, hoping you will eventually stumble on the answer.

We TRY stuff that is specific to your situation and come to grips with what is underneath what you say too and about yourself.

I am not for people who don't want to be confronted (in a warm and compassionate way always!) or who can't get past 'yes/but'.

My stuff works fast and deeply. Thus, the more upfront "We Need To Talk."

It's not, 'hey do you think you might want to consider feeling better?' Lots of people need that, but they are not my clients.

Changing Your Life Script: a webshow that tackles life's tough stuff.
