This last 16 months of being a WAHM (work-at-home mom), I’ve come to love podcasts — mostly because they make the day seem not so lonely while my little guy is napping.

Here are my two favorites (FYI: You can get all the episodes on iTunes):

Freelance Radio: A podcast all about freelancing hosted by a panel of successful freelancers of all trades: designers, coders, illustrators, and writers. They’ve been able to give great advice about client relationships, business, taxes, contracts, and a whole gamut of freelance-centered stuff. Sadly, the last podcast was posted just a few weeks ago. Each episode lasts about an hour.

Stuff You Missed in History Class: I love this one. It’s interesting to learn about random stuff, and I love history. The topics range from Davy Crockett to the underground city of Beijing, and each episode runs from anywhere between three to twenty-five minutes. Another great part about this podcast is that it is still going, with new podcasts appearing nearly every week (sometimes even two or three per week!).

Women & Business Conference

The Little America Hotel, in Downtown SLC, hosted the annual Women & Business Conference and Athena Awards on Tuesday, Nov. 10. I was surrounded by brilliant business women throughout the day as I attended workshops and learned how to improve myself and my business.

Matt Townsend was the opening speaker. Talk about charisma. His speech focused on the importance of every relationship having seven basic needs, and how every person needs REAL relationships: cut through the smoke and get to the fire of the issue.

The morning workshop that I attended was taught by Kimberly Kniveton, owner of Ascent Coaching & Consulting. She taught us how to make 2010 the best year ever for our businesses by following five key principles.

The afternoon workshop was focused on how to better our business through organization. This class was taught by Marie Ricks, owner of House of Order. She gave us great tips and ideas on how to better organize our offices.
