56. It’s Never Too Late: Creating Success on Your Own Terms - with Leslie Kuster
Do you ever feel like it’s too late for you to succeed? Or worried that if you do succeed, you would become so busy that you’d lose your freedom and flexibility? Well...do I have a podcast for you! In this episode, I am interviewing Leslie Kuster, founder of the clothing line Back From Bali and an entrepreneur with multiple 7-figure earnings. But she didn’t start out that way. In fact, it wasn’t until she was in her fifties that she decided that she was tired of doing “just OK” in her business and that it was time to claim her desire for money and success. But not in a selfish or materialistic way—in a way that allowed her even MORE freedom, alignment and personal growth. This episode is a pep talk for any of you who struggle to know what you want, aren’t sure how to achieve success, and care about staying happy and authentic to yourself along the way. Don’t miss it!

55. Finding Your Highest Self in The Lowest Moments - with Margy Feldhuhn
To be human is to experience loss. Whether that’s the loss of a loved one, the loss of a relationship, or the loss of normalcy, loss has the power to knock us down and keep us low. But after the initial shock, it also has the power to transform us—if we let it. (I know many of us have seen that first hand in the last year and a half!) The first thing loss can transform is our beliefs about ourselves, which, as my guest on my upcoming webinar says, “can be an incredible gift.” This special live episode with guest Margy Feldhuhn. Margy is the CEO of Interview Connections, a podcast guest booking agency and the host of the podcast “We Get it: Your Dad Died.” Her refreshing perspective on grief will inspire you toward transformation, whether or not you’re experiencing loss right now. Listen in for a healing conversation that takes the stigma out of grief, helps you identify the gifts that loss may have given you, and encourages you on your personal transformation journey.

30. Navigating Transitions When You Have No Idea What Comes Next
What’s next? How do you make a transition into your next thing—or into the next phase of a pandemic—when none of us has any idea what’s going to happen in the coming days? I know many of us either want something different for our lives or have been forced into something different by no choice of our own, so on today’s episode, I’m sharing all about how to transition well and with empowerment and grace. If you’re feeling in-between, grieving what has been lost but unsure of what to do next, this episode is for you.

29. The Revolution Starts Within - Webinar Replay with Sharon Hicks
Ever feel like you’re not doing enough? Or wonder if your experience is insignificant when you know that so many other people are hurting more? A lot of us have been feeling emotionally overwhelmed in the midst of COVID-19, followed by the loss of innocent Black lives and divisive protests around the country. While these two things have affected all of us in different ways, they still affect all of us, whether directly or indirectly. But what do we do next? A revolution has many lanes, and our responsibility is to find the one we can move into. This episode is a replay of the live webinar I hosted with Licensed Professional Counselor Sharon Hicks, founder of Kintsukuroi Counseling. It’s a conversation about collective and indirect trauma, healing from within, and holding space for others and for ourselves—and why that’s not mutually exclusive.

28. Staying Creative Beyond COVID-19 - with Clara Malson
Before March 2020, creating consistently felt like a pipe dream for so many of us with relentlessly busy lives. After March 2020, we were all baking bread, dusting off our piano, and painting for the first time in ages. Stay-at-home orders forced us to dabble in new ways, and we found that even though we missed our friends and family, we really liked having time to express ourselves. So: What’s next? What will become of the creative renaissance that has blossomed in our lives post-pandemic? How can we hold on to the creative practices we cultivated while in quarantine—or finally push past self-doubt to get started? Clara and I are coming to you from our closets with all of our best tips for embracing (and maintaining) your creativity in this unique era we’re living through.
