Episode 135: Secrets to Building a Brand Story

‘Tis the season for that week in between Christmas and New Year’s where time seems non-existent, and everyone is scraping by. Instead of letting this crazy week dictate my mood, I decided to take some time to reflect on 2022 and how I’d like to show up for 2023. After inventorying my year, I recognized that I’ve come to a place in my life where I’m able to hold space for others- something I haven’t always been capable of, but something that I have received from people when I was in need. What does holding space mean and why am I proud to be able to provide it for my “circle”? Let’s talk about it.
 
In this episode I discuss:
What it means to hold space for others;
Having the capacity to hold space for others;
How people close to me helped me during tragic times;
The simple act of being present with another person;
Connection through contact;
Listening without judgment or an agenda;
The challenges of creating space for people;
Meeting someone where they’re at;
Realizing you can’t fix or change someone’s problems;
How I’m able to show up for others by practicing self-care (super important)

 
As I said, I haven’t always been able to connect with my friends and family in this way. But now that I’m more confident in myself and my capabilities, I can clear space from my needs and pour that space back into my loved ones in need. I find that my capacity to hold space for others increases as I care for myself. In 2023, I expect that space to grow.
So, here’s to 2023, a year of peace and prosperity and enough space for those that need it.
 
Key Takeaways to Simplify Your Life:
Don’t set a New Year’s Resolution
Go into 2023 with a mindset of peace and prosperity
Clear the clutter- get rid of three items in your house that you don’t need or use

Episode 134: Holding Space for Others

The holiday season is upon us. It’s a time for laughter, love, and light- so why do we often make it about overindulging? In the past, I was part of the culture of excess around the holidays. I had the perfect decorations, the most aesthetic wrapping papers, and the cutest baked goods gifts for friends and neighbors. I dressed up, hosted parties, over consumed alcohol and food. From the outside, I did everything right. But in reality, I was overindulging in every aspect.
 
In this episode I discuss:
Overconsumption during the holidays;
Reflecting on past Christmases;
Why we feel the need to “keep up”;
Presenting a different version of myself to the world;
The chaos that ensues around the holidays;
How to enjoy holiday traditions without overindulging;
Recognizing that Christmas is about “who” and not “what”;
The mindset of setting resolutions for New Years

We’ve all heard it before, “Christmas is about spending time with loved ones” but are we really able to put that into practice when we have nine million other things to do? For me, simplifying my holidays means not sending Christmas cards, not baking trays of cookies for the entire neighborhood which allowed me to instead fill that time in the company of the people that mean the most to me.
Happy Holidays everyone!
 
Key Takeaways to Simplify Your Life:
Don’t stress yourself out doing things you don’t want to do
Eat a healthy meal prior to a holiday party so you won’t overindulge
Don’t wait until the New Year to set goals- start now!

Episode 133: Eliminate the Gluttony

Hi, y’all! I learned a lot by traveling for the past 7 months, but one of the most important things I learned that resonated deeply with me was that conformity kills confidence. When I first told people of my plans to travel, I was met with serious questions and a slew of doubts. Their skepticism made me uncertain of my decision, even though it was something that I really wanted to pursue.
So, I made the commitment to travel despite my hesitation and figured it out on the way. What I discovered was that my business skyrocketed, my creativity increased, and my ability to find joy made its way into every aspect of my life. From this adventure, I realized that I could handle anything that comes my way. If I had caved into the doubt of others, I would never have had these amazing experiences.
 
In this episode I discuss:
Four ways to find your own voice;
Creating your own rules;
Showing up with confidence and authority;
Finding inspiration from within;
Questioning my relationships with people to discover if I’m valued the way I value them;
The benefits of taking risks;
Pushing yourself out of your comfort zone;
Don’t be afraid to be the outlier;
Starting on a venture before you have all the answers;
Embracing failure

 
My life has done a complete 180 in the past year, and I know it’s because I listened to myself. I found ways to inspire myself, stepped out of my comfort zone, figured out a plan along the way, and learned to trust myself in a way that I hadn’t before. Now, I’m not afraid to take up space because I’ve found the unshakeable confidence to do so- you can too. Start now!
 
Key Takeaways to Simplify Your Life:
No is a complete sentence
Get out in nature
Take something off your to-do list

Episode 127: Knowledge Bombs from Noteworthy Guests

Hi everyone! By the time you listen, I’ll be back home! Landing in Texas marks the end of a 7-month journey that I am so grateful for. I’ve always been a bit envious of friends and family who would go on beautiful vacations, and now, I have my own memories of a once-in-a-lifetime trip.
I made so many friends on this trip, saw so many amazing places, and connected with nature. But, Dorothy was right when she said, “there’s no place like home.” I’m very happy to be back home, in my own bed, with my own things.
In this episode I discuss:
How I made 7 months of travel happen on a budget;
Where I went;
What I learned;
The trust that goes into house and pet sitting;
Going with the flow during travel;
Solo- travel;
How I maintained a business while traveling;
My plans for next year

Traveling alone for an extended period of time is something I wish everyone was able to do. I learned so much about myself and other people during this time and got to spend time drinking in everything nature has to offer. Some people ask me whether it was hard to do I always answer “of course!” But a few uncomfortable situations don’t take away from my time as a whole being completely worth it. Personally, I can't think of a greater joy than being able to look at myself and think “I did it!”

Episode 125: Growing Through Association with Jesse Ray

I’m soaking up all Bend, OR has to offer! This town is seriously a dream, especially for nature lovers. The scenery is gorgeous, there are scenic trails everywhere, and the weather right now is perfect! I’ve also been eating and drinking my way through some of the cute cafes in town. Of course, I enjoy a treat as much as the next person, but as I looked at the options in the small little cafes’ I started to see a pattern. Sugar. Sugar everywhere. This got me thinking about our United States food system and how little we actually know about the food we consume.
In this episode I discuss:
Corruption in the US food system;
The number of lobbyists for the Dept. of Agriculture within Congress;
Why our food is so processed;
How our food is making us sick;
How food can be the cure to our sicknesses;
Ingredients in our food;
Lack of education around nutrition and consumption;
Fad diets;
The US food industry vs. other nations;
Taking time to read and understand food labels;
Rebuilding a broken system;
Practicing being mindful of what we are consuming

The US food system cannot be ignored. The more people talk about it, the more awareness there is of the poison we are masking as food, which in turn creates a sense of urgency to fix the system. I truly believe that the entire organization needs an overhaul. If you feel the same- let’s talk about it!

Episode 124: Do You Know What You Are Really Eating?

It’s autumn and I’m in Bend, OR soaking up the beautiful weather in this gorgeous place! I’ve seen so much in the short time that I’ve been here, that I know it will have a lasting impact on me when I leave. I know I’ve said it before, but if you’re thinking of visiting, this is your sign!
 
This week, I’ve decided to open up and share my entrepreneurial journey. Like everyone else who has made the decision to build a business, I didn’t have any idea where to start. I jumped around from platform to platform, hoping that something would stick- and I worked my ass off until something finally did. Buckle up! It’s quite a ride.
In this episode I discuss:
How I lost my job and gained a business;
Making the decision not to work for someone else;
Starting off unsure of what my business was going to look like;
How I almost started a personal coaching business;
Utilizing social media platforms to create awareness;
Building a brand;
Paid vs. Organic social media;
Consistency and engagement;
Showing up with value;
Studying successful women;
The importance of shifting;
How to gain confidence in yourself as an entrepreneur;
The importance of learning through failure

Two years ago, I didn’t have what I have now. I didn’t always have clients whom I aligned with. I took on some clients solely out of my need for money. Today, I can choose what clients I want to work with, I have an amazing team, am constantly learning, and am excited about what is next! None of that would be possible without first traveling the road that brought me where I am now.
 
I encourage anyone who is interested in or has thought about starting their own entrepreneurial journey. It’s not going to be easy, in fact, it’s the one thing I can guarantee! But if you stick with it, if you show up, if you’re consistent, YOU CAN DO IT!

Episode 123: My Personal Business Journey

I’m on the road again and joining you from Bend, OR. If you haven’t been or have been waiting for a sign to go, this is it. GO! It’s an awesome place with so much beauty, especially during the fall. In this stunning place, I made the decision to get real with you all. This episode is personal and vulnerable, and I sincerely hope it resonates with some of you. I’ve decided to talk about my hair loss journey, something which I’ve never really talked about to anyone outside of my circle. So, here we go!
In this episode I discuss:
How a simple gesture helped me discover a goiter on my right thyroid;
Getting the goiter removed;
Being medicated for my thyroid for the past TWENTY years;
Resulting hair loss from treatments, etc.;
My journey researching vitamins, supplements, and therapies for hair regrowth;
Discovering stress as a trigger for hair loss;
Embarrassment and being self-conscious because of my hair loss and how to deal;
Finally finding products and routines that are working;
Consistency

I made the decision this year to get serious and consistent about my hair loss and what I could do to help my hair regrow. Some products have been costly, some haven’t worked, and some, full of chemicals, caused me physical pain. But now- after months of consistency with the right products, I’m finally starting to see improvement.
If you’ve dealt with hair loss, you know how upsetting it can be, especially if you’re a woman. If you feel stuck or embarrassed, check out some of the links below and PLEASE, PLEASE reach out to me!

Episode 122: My Personal Hair Loss Journey

After a week's hiatus from the podcast, I’m back! What a week it has been, I went through a situation with my car being broken into and dealing with that for multiple days. I did record a podcast, and as promised, it went into detail about my 5-month long travel journey, but I’ve got to be honest, I didn’t love the content! So, I started over fresh this week with a topic that I’ve been thinking about recently: The pressure we put on our children.
I’m from Texas and if you don’t know, sports matter here! My children, nieces, and nephews were involved in high-level sports from a young age. I’ve been thinking back and although, I don’t regret (and neither do they) putting my children in sports, there are a couple of things I would have done differently.
In this episode I discuss:
Personal experience with children in sports;
The pressure we put on our children to perform;
“Sports Parents”;
Prioritizing winning over the love of the game;
The energy, time, and money that went into sports teams;
How playing in high-level sports creates a constant environment of competition and the need to win;
Why we should let kids be kids

My kids never asked to be taken out of their respective sports. They loved playing, but in retrospect, I think I could have balanced out their “team time” with “kid time”. In today’s world- the expectations and pressure we put on children is insane. I hope that as time passes, the priority to win will be less than having fun and enjoying childhood.
Stay tuned next for next week, as I’ll be back on the road and joining you from Bend, OR!

Episode 121: The Pressure We Put On Our Kids To Perform

This week, I’m joining you from home! After a long five-month travel experience, I’ve finally landed in Texas. Returning home after so long had me reflecting and thinking how presently, I’m enjoying my life so much. I realized that’s because, at this current time, I’m my most authentic self. But it hasn’t always been this way. I wasn’t always the person that I am now, in fact, I was far from it.
In this episode I discuss:
Becoming someone else during my marriage;
Expectations from society in regard to being a mother and wife;
Presenting perfection;
Losing myself to material, external things;
Making sure everything looked perfect from the outside;
Figuring out that my lifestyle wasn’t aligning with my true self;
People pleasing;
My moment of realization;
Rediscovering myself;
Redefining my style
Self-acceptance;
Balancing empathy and kindness with living life my way

It’s not easy to come to the realization that you’ve been living a life based on someone else’s terms. The process of rediscovering yourself and your style is full of ups and downs. It may take some time to figure out who you are, but the reward of living authentically makes the journey worth it because you get to live life for yourself!
Stay tuned next week for more on my Maui adventure!

Episode 120: Living Your True Authentic Self

My time in Maui is coming to an end; because of this, I’ve been reflecting a lot on the past couple of years of my life. This month marks my three-year anniversary with podcasting, and I’ve fallen in love with the medium. I thoroughly enjoy discussing what’s on my mind and interacting with my listeners. I’ve been extremely lucky to see my dreams come to fruition. As I wrap up my time here, I've been thinking about the people that I’ve met along my travels and the bonds that I’ll remember forever. I realized how much harder it is to make friends as an adult vs. as a teen or young adult.
 
In this episode I discuss:
My five months on the road;
How long it took for me to meet people in the places I stayed;
Making friends as an adult vs. as a child;
Opportunities to make friends as an adult;
Finding peace by traveling and connecting with nature;
The power of grounding;

Episode 119: Making Friends As An Adult

I’m so excited to introduce my sister, Bobbi, in this episode! My sister is my rock, someone whom I can bounce ideas off of, and whom I respect and admire. We choose separate paths in life, me being an entrepreneur, and her being CEO of a large non-profit. Regardless of our difference in work, we see the same patterns concerning females in the workforce, and in general.
 
In today’s episode we discuss:
Struggles that women face in the workforce;
Our experiences with imposter syndrome and how to combat these feelings;
Insecurity in the workforce;
Why women championing women is important;
Getting a message across using empathy;
Personal experiences dealing with men vs. women at work;
Mindset and confidence in a male-dominated world;
Some shocking statistics;
Why female-dominated fields are historically low paying;
Philosophies on how a male-dominated workforce came to be;
Raising men to be allies of women

Women bring a unique set of highly beneficial skills to the workplace, so why does it seem they’re being punished for it? It’s a controversial topic, but it’s one worth exploring and creating a dialogue around. Have you experienced anything like this in your life or within your office? Share your stories!

Episode 118: Women in the Workforce: A Conversation with Bobbi

When is the last time you turned on the TV and didn’t see an ad for alcohol? Can you remember? Our society glorifies alcohol. There’s always a reason to drink; a girl’s night out, a football game, a summer BBQ, the list goes on. But when you turn off the tv and the ads of partying on a beach go black or when you return home from a summer BBQ tipsy, what are you left with? How do you feel? Why is alcohol so ingrained in our culture that if you choose not to drink, you're the outlier? These questions have been on my mind recently and I’ve decided to speak about them.
In this episode I discuss:
Glorification of alcohol in our culture;
Impacts of alcohol in the home;
Alcohol ads vs. real life;
My personal decision not to entertain alcohol;
What lead to my decision to not drink;
How my life has changed without alcohol;
How to deal with social events when you aren’t drinking;
The stigma around choosing not to drink;
How alcohol lowered my vibration;
My experiences in Al-Anon

Again, these are my personal decisions and experiences and what works for me may not work for everyone. I can say without a doubt, that my decision to leave alcohol behind has yielded only positive results.
If alcohol has impacted you, your family, or your friends, or if you’ve been toying with the idea of not drinking- give this a listen, and if you feel comfortable doing so, comment on your own experiences! I’d love to hear them!
