23: Musings on Motherhood Jun 01, 2019

Show notes

You may have previously heard that motherhood is the hardest job I've ever done. For me it is SO. FREAKING. HARD. to find fulfillment in. Don't get me wrong, I love my kiddos more than life itself... but it's still hard to find joy in the poopie diapers, endless sticky surfaces and piles of laundry. Which had me thinking... What IS my job as a parent?

I've been thinking about this A LOT, and honestly it's a topic that used to STRESS. ME. OUT. But as I've been researching (and working with my therapist) I've learned that my actual job is so much simpler (is that even a word? Simpler?)... Love is what I'm getting at. Your ONLY job as a parent is to love your kids. Love.

Take a listen.

22. Getting Vulnerable May 30, 2019

Show notes

There is a shame-based fear of being ordinary (especially on social) that we face in our generation and culture today. It’s hard not to compare ourselves to the perfect-looking women, their perfect children, their perfect houses and their thousands of followers on social media. Sometimes, we let ourselves see that image of perfection as the standard when it shouldn't be. -Brené Brown

In todays episode, I'll be sharing some of my discoveries and the litteral magic that came when I started being REAL.

21: The ONLY Way To Get Sponsors To Work With You May 30, 2019

Show notes

If you have been wondering about sponsorships and how to get one to work with you, you are in the right place!

But it's more than just trying to see how many "free" things you can get from sponsors. What do you have to give them? How can you make their experience working with you unforgettable? If you can't work with a sponsor, without giving back and being easy to work with... You probably won't make it very far in this industry.

In todays episode, I'm sharing one of my biggest trade secrets to getting sponsors to not only donate to my events, and pay to work with me, but to also have them asking to work together again!

20: Something I’m Embarrassed To Tell You... May 29, 2019

Show notes

Embarrassed, ashamed, inadequate.

Isn't it interesting how our perception can shape our experiences? Looking back at this experience in particular, I allowed it to define my worth as a person for Way. Too. Long. When the reality is, these are the exact things that mold us and help us to become more understanding and accepting of others and the world around us.

Today I’m going to share a story I’ve never told ANYONE before (except my husband Nick)... and I hope by sharing it, you can realize that you are more than your experiences and you have value to offer, even when others can’t see it. Move on and find your tribe.

19: You Are What You Think You Are, Literally! May 27, 2019

Show notes

Did you know that your brain in made up of thousands and thousands of neurological pathways (thoughts that shape your beliefs?) In todays episode, we will be diving into the science behind your thoughts and why keeping negative thoughts in check is SO important for your success. Track your thoughts daily and be aware of what kinds of things you believe and tell yourself over and over all day. Keep a small journal of the following thought patterns to see if you are creating a place of growth and believe, or planting seeds of doubt and failure in yourself and others. What thoughts do I think about myself? What do I think about when I see something I want in someone else? What do I talk about with my 5 closest friends? What do I tell others when they are pursuing their goals/dreams? When I start a new project or skill, do I talk myself out of it because I'm worried I'll look bad, dumb, or foolish?

17: If You Build It They Will Come... May 25, 2019

Show notes

In todays episode I'm referencing the movie "Field Of Dreams", and how building something that you believe in (as crazy as it may seem), can give you purpose and create that place for others too.

Have you ever felt a little crazy for building something (or thinking about building something) that NO ONE understands? I remember when I first stared my blog, I would get pushback from people who didn’t get it. Questions like: Why? What's the point? Doesn't that seems kind of self-centered?! were asked all the time... And all you can do is shrug and remind them that it gives you joy and makes you feel purpose to share what you know, even when it's unclear in the beginning.

Eventually, I was able to take my blogging platform to create and share my passion for events, and while it took a minute to get there, I am SO glad I kept going. Now with this new platform of podcasting, starting over essentially, it has reminded me to keep building my vision in a better way to serve more people with my experiences and the connections I've made along the way.

16: Why You NEED To Be Good At Failing May 23, 2019

Show notes

Winners lose more than losers.

It's easy to think that failure is a sign that you're doing something wrong and it can make you feel like you're not cut out, or qualified to chase your dreams. But the truth is that failure is meant to be a teacher, it's THE thing that molds your character, keeps you humble, pushes your creativity, and allows you to help others. The people who learn from their mistakes and failures quickly are the ones who will always win in the end. The key is to keep going and starting again as often as needed.

Choose to see failure as a step in the journey, not something to be embarrassed about or ashamed of. EVERYONE who is successful has gone through failure, if they can work hard to get past hard things, you can too.

15: How To Keep Going Even When You're Not Feeling "Motivated" May 23, 2019

Show notes

In life we are all going to deal with "hard" days. I put hard in parenthesis because "hard" is relative, right? What's hard for me may not be hard for you and vice versa. Going through hard experiences is inevitable, it's how you'll act during those times that is the true measure of your dedication and commitment to your goals.

Find a reason to stick to your goals, even when you're not motivated. Choose to make your body act when you say go, and do not succumb to your body telling you that it's too tired, or not good enough or smart enough... Those are all lies. You CAN do it, and you are always allowed to ask for help too!

14: The 28-Day Party Planner Academy Challenge May 22, 2019

Show notes

I created the The Party Planner Academy as a labor of love to help guid aspiring event planners to creating a business as an event planner without a college degree... Hello I'm literally the poster child for that! But if you're new to me or my course, it could be a super scary investment that you're just not sure about, and if it could REALLY work for you. I'm currently building a 28-Day Challenge, that is a results based blitz to help get you on the path to wanting to invest in yourself and your ideas more.

During the challenge you'll have daily action items that will help you build a platform, learn how to content create and batch, as well as give you an online presence and portfolio... It could either be a huge win or a learning experience... but either way I'm sure you'll hear about how it's going as I plan to share openly about what worked and what didn't.
