How to Harness the Power of Honoring Your Season & Gaining Self-Trust

A lot of times life doesn't go as planned. We plan, we get ready for liftoff and then BOOM, life is like, "OOPS, ACTUALLY...I know you were excited about that, BUT, I've got something different on the menu for you." 
 
What we DO and how we approach these new menu items with our mindset, our hearts and our actions is what will determine how much we grow into more whole versions of ourselves, how we learn to trust ourselves ever more deeply, and how fully we get to show up for the next season.
 
In 2022, I'd planned A LOT in my business - a podcast, working on a 6-years-in-the-making passion project and launching a membership - and the Universe was like UH, NO. NEW PLAN.
 
And I found myself, on January 31st, sitting at the kitchen island with my then 8-year on the first day of our homeschool journey after she'd been in public school her entire school-aged years. She left competition dance just two weeks before, we pulled her from public school just 3 days prior...and so began a season that didn't look a lick like what I had envisioned.
 
In this podcast, I share what that season looked like for me in detail, how I navigated it, what was important about it, and what its looked like since. I also talk about honoring your season in general, whether you're being asked to go inward and slow down or to come outward and be bold. Either way, it requires honesty with yourself, courage, trust and above all, surrender and an ability to say, "I accept this." 
 

#GirlfriendGoals: How to Foster Closeness Among Women Through Tough Conversations with Jamie Trull

When it comes to money and business, my friend Jamie has it on lock - those gardens are blooming like crazy.
 
But when it comes to tough conversations, opening up and just generally dealing with those yucky things called emotions (particularly the ones that make us feel vulnerable), Jamie has thrown a tarp over that garden and hidden it under her bed, metaphorically speaking. 
 
In this episode, Jamie and I open up about a real life conversation we had when I wasn't feeling heard inside our friendship about something I was excited about. I debated not saying anything, but noticed that I was simply building resentment and that's something I know can be a death sentence to any relationship. 
 
I decided to speak up and what ensued was an hour-long back-and-forth on Marco Polo (video messaging app) discussing what I was feeling, where she was coming from, our enneagram numbers (3 and 7) and how we show up in different ways that may not always look like support to other people.
 
We're honest, raw and we share all the details of our conversation and what we were thinking throughout. Listen in to hear how it turned out and how, through a willingness to be vulnerable and have hard conversations, we can all deepen our friendships and trust in our female friends.

The enneagram is a map of where we are and where we want to get to when it comes to the limits of our ego-based personality systems.  It'll be talked about a lot on this podcast, so if you're not familiar with it, check out this episode! If you need an enneagram refresher, here it is.

Is Tea the New Yoga? Get in On This Emerging Movement with the Tea Huntress!

In this episode I bring on Create Beautifully's first GUIDE, Sarah Scarborough, aka the Tea Huntress.  I had a profound experience in December 2021 sitting at my first ever tea ceremony, led by the Tea Huntress herself.  Ever since then, I've added tea to my lineup of ways to ground, to learn to receive and to heal. (And also to simply feel warm and cozy, which is highly important.)
 
Sarah is a pioneering badass in the ways that she's traversed multiple continents and learned to follow her own intuition and sparks in order to help spur on a kind of tea movement. Listen in to hear her story, hear my experiences with tea, and see if you'd like to check it out for yourself!

How to Come Back from PTSD (My Daughter Almost Died)

Memorial Day 2015. My daughter was only a month into being 2 when she stopped breathing after being sick all night. The scariest day of my life leading to the scariest time of my life.
 
She's been just fine since then, but what that put into gear for me has been an emotional ride of healing, from utter darkness and panic attacks to a slow climb up and out where I can still get caught, still find my foot slipping on what I thought was solid ground, but what, ultimately, provides me with a way to deepen trust within myself and try to find more presence and appreciation for this precious life. 
 
Trauma and healing from trauma can take it out of so many areas of our lives. It can put us in a perpetual state of suspension with our nervous systems turned on full volume. How do we heal? What does healing look like? What can healing offer us? Let's explore. 

How to Create a Unique Business from the Things You’ve Always Loved with The Pool Boys

After years of having their own careers, these best-buddies-since-college husbands and dads found themselves in a position to be financially supported (and encouraged) by their wives. This gave them the freedom to ask, "What do we want to create? Can we make a sustainable business from something we love?" In this episode, we'll hear their path and connect the dots looking backward - how did they know to follow the *right* sparks? How is it going now? What are they getting out of their awesome sports-related business they creatively came up with? 
 
These two took their love of sports and combined it with their business savvy to create a one-of-a-kind business that is totally aligned to who they are. Even if you're not a sports fan (like me), this is a great episode to listen to if you're curious about HOW to follow the right sparks!
 
A little bit of cursing and a lot of looking at what it's like to follow the spark, this episode is a blast.

What to Do When Your Soul Won’t Let You Sleep

We can ignore our soul's calling for only so long.  There are only so many times we can hang up or hit "ignore" when it rings us. Why do we tend to ignore it? What happens when we have the space and the excitement to actually answer that call and it just busts through and is like HI I'M HERE AND YOU CAN'T IGNORE ME ANYMORE.
One of the first steps to Create Beautifully™ is turning and facing our call - despite the fear that we might not be equipped to do what our soul is asking of us. Despite the fear that we think we can't live up to it. 
Let's chat about it. Let's open up to what our purpose has for us.
