129: On Letting Go of Old Seasons and Embracing the Next with Shauna Niequist Mar 31, 2022

Show notes

On today's episode, I am honored to interview one of my favorite authors, Shauna Niequist. Her new book, I Just Haven't Learned That Yet, is full of stories of how we cope with unexpected change, letting go of previous seasons, and embracing the present. I know Shauna's grace filled words and wisdom will encourage you just as they did for me.

We discuss:

-The namesake of her book and her family's mantra: "I Just Haven't Learned That Yet."

-Coping when life no longer looks the way you planned it to (dealing with unexpected change)

-Letting go of old seasons when we want to hold on.

-Embracing the present.

124: Chasing Purpose in our Work, Focusing on What's Important Now, & Redefining Wealth with Patrice Washington Jan 28, 2022

Show notes

Today I talk with Patrice Washington, best selling author and speaker, all about her 6 pillars of wealth, pursuing purpose in our work and lives, and redefining wealth. This is one of my favorite conversations I've had on the podcast and I believe it will meet you wherever you are at and encourage you! Thanks for listening in!

Today we talk about:

-Patrice’s story and why she is passionate about what she does.

-Work Life Balance: What a purposeful workday looks like for her, including how and why she includes staying present with her family.

-How we can beat mom guilt that comes along with work.

-Her definition of wealth and why she came to see wealth in this way

-The six pillars of wealth: Fit, People, Space, Faith, Work, Money

-Pursuing passion in work vs. purpose, even when your work isn’t your passion.

-Chasing purpose isn’t about being an entrepreneur

-Working towards a life (and work) that you do feel purpose and fulfillment in (and how finances aren’t the most important part of it)

-Going from a hustle/ grind mindset to a mindset of presence and purpose

-Fitting in the important things on a busy schedule (having balance in the pillars and what to do if you’re feeling out of balance)

-Embracing what is naturally “our thing” and staying in our lane (not feeling bad for saying no to what isn’t your thing)

123: Messy Minimalism: Make Minimalism Your Own (without the perfectionism) with Rachelle Crawford Jan 20, 2022

Show notes

Today I talk with Rachelle Crawford of Abundant Life with Less, author of Messy Minimalism. Rachelle and I talk about how perfectionism can be debilitating on our road to a less cluttered life, and how we can move past it and define minimalism for ourselves.

Forgive me for my technical difficulties in this interview, which you won't notice until the end. Our conversation was cut slightly short because of tech issues, but I also talk a little bit about what you missed in my recap at the end of the episode.

If you haven't set goals yet for the new year, there is still time! This isn't your typical goal setting episode. We focus in on reflection prompts and a few ideas for "goal setting" for the new year that might be a little gentler or more attainable than your typical lengthy new year's goal setting session.
