MINISODE | How to Conserve Energy and Consume Less
Day in the Life
This week I chatted with who is a meteorologist and I loved his simple advice on how we can all make a big impact on our environment by making small changes in our daily lives. When it comes to making a difference with the effects on our environment, it can seem like a huge daunting task and that there's no way minor changes can't help but that's so not the case! Every little bit adds up and it can add up to massive change. While I do feel like I'm already doing a lot to help conserve energy (we have a smart thermostat, energy efficient appliances, use LED lights) there's always more I can...

MINISODE | Let's Boost Our Moods by Drawing!
Day in the Life
This week I chatted with who is obviously a creative and artistic genius. I made it clear how much I lack the skills to draw or be artistic in any sort of way, but after last week's minisode about stopping myself from saying that I "can't" do something, I'm trying to change my language and how I speak about my drawing skills. I then started looking into how drawing can positively impact your days -- and boy, I found a lot of research on this! Tune in to find out how drawing can boost your mood and positively impact your day to day life! Full show notes at: Links mentioned: ...

MINISODE | What's Something That You Feel Like You "Can't" Do?
Day in the Life
This week I chatted with Sandy and Jeni from and our conversation got me thinking about how people approach things they feel like they "can't" do. It was eye-opening to me that neither Sandy nor Jeni had a software engineering background, yet here they are, creating an incredible software company. Like, have you told yourself your entire life that you "can't" do something for one reason or another? I know I have. I've told myself "I'm not athletic" "I can't draw" "I'm not smart enough/experienced enough to do XYZ" While I'm certainly not going to be the next Michael Jordan or Picasso, I...

064 | Sandy Connery & Jeni Barcelos | Founders of Namastream Software
Day in the Life
Today's interview is special because it's another double interview! We haven't had one of those since interviewing . Anyways, I'm interviewing Sandy Connery & Jeni Barcelos who are the founders of a software company called . Sandy & Jeni did NOT have software engineering backgrounds at all when they started Namastream and as two female founders of a tech company, I thought it'd be great to get their insight on their struggles, successes and a peek inside what it's really like to run a software company. We chat about the major challenges bootstrapping a tech company (they did not get...

Day in the Life
This week I chatted with and it really got me thinking about stuff and why we hold on to it. I researched a bit further into why we hold on to stuff, even when we feel cluttered, overwhelmed and disorganized. I'm definitely guilty of this and what I found through researching is exactly the reasons why I hold on to things.During this episode, I'm sharing what I found after diving into some research onto why we hold on to too much stuff and how I'm clearing out the physical and mental clutter in my life.

MINISODE | Other People's Perceptions of You: Do You Care Too Much?
Day in the Life
Today's minisode we're talking about other people's perceptions and if you care too much. This week's interview with may have been a polarizing one for you guys, but I wanted to continue the conversation by talking about other people's perceptions of you and if you care too much. Here's the thing: we all to some degree, for the most part, compare ourselves to other people. It's a natural, human thing to do. It's also natural to care about what other people think about you. It's not necessarily a bad thing, to some degree it helps you be self-aware which I think is an important quality in...

Hello hello and welcome back to the Day in the Life podcast! Happy 2019 everyone!
I can't believe we are already halfway through the first month of 2019, so crazy! Anyways, before we get to today's episode, I wanted to share a few housekeeping updates before diving in.
As most of you know, this podcast is a passion project of mine and not a primary way I make income. I was feeling really burnt out from all of the work I had taken on and taking a break was really good for me.
So, with that, we’ll be making some changes around here!
1) We're going to try something new for the podcast this year...we'll be doing seasons!
Our "second" season will run January 15-April 2 and we will take a 6-week break in between before the third season starts.
I have some fun plans for the mini-breaks though so you aren't left with no new content :)
2) Minisodes will still be happening on Fridays and I'm hoping to make them more action & value-packed.
I want us all to be challenged on how we can improve our days, whether it's physically, mentally, emotionally, spiritually, etc and I want to use these minisodes to motivate and challenge you (and me!)
3) I've decided to launch a YouTube account! I've talked about this with countless people, some even in this group, and I'm committing to making it happen this year.
My biggest hesitation around starting a YouTube account for the Day in the Life has been my fear of putting it all out there.
Ya see, if I'm sharing what my daily life is like, I have to share the good AND the bad AND the ugly. And that intimidates me but I'm willing myself to push past that and show up...no matter what.
I haven't decided an exact date of launch yet but it's coming...and I'm putting it here so you guys can keep me accountable.
SO! Now that that's out of the way... let's get to today's episode!
Today's interview is with Alexis Teichmiller who is the ConvertKit Affiliate Manager. (Don't worry, if you don't know what an affiliate manager is Alexis shares exactly what that is!)
Most interestingly though, I wanted to bring on Alexis because she has made it a point to share vulnerable things about your life, your relationships, your struggles, anxiety, etc on social media.
She shares why this is important to her, how other people can start to feel more comfortable with sharing their vulnerabilities, what "image management" is, as well as what it's like to work for a completely remote company, and how she prioritizes her side hustle passions alongside a full-time job.
Guys, I compared her to Brene Brown during the episode because she is just THAT GOOD.
Excited for you to tune in and hope you enjoy!
In today’s episode, you'll find out:
- How Alexis got started working for ConvertKit.
- Why it's important to Alexis to share not only the great parts of her life but also the vulnerable parts of her life, her relationships, and anxiety.
- What image management is and why we need to let it go.
- Her tips on how other people start to feel more comfortable with sharing their vulnerabilities.
- The best part about working at ConverKit and her experience working for a completely remote company.
- How she prioritizes her side hustle passions and a full time job plus advice she would give others who want to do the same.
- Her biggest struggles and misconceptions about her career.
- Her 3 non-negotiable travel items she can't live without.
