Soul Chat with Katie Calder Nov 13, 2018

Show notes

Happy #SeekTheJoy Tuesday! On the podcast this week is my friend, Katie Calder.

When I reimagined Seek The Joy Podcast back in July, I mentioned to you guys that I would start airing episodes I like to call “soul chats.” The plan was (and is!) for these conversation style episodes to feature some pretty incredible and amazing people in my life who have so much wisdom and magic to share. I'm so excited to bring you the first of these chats, this week with my good friend Katie Calder.

In this week’s conversation we chat about why Katie created @namaskayyy and the meaningful connections she's made, manifestation, numerology and the power of the 11-11-11 day we just had. We also share what it’s meant embodying who we are, choosing to feel, allowing ourselves to be more open with our spirituality, what has held us back, and allowing every part of who we are to blend instead of keeping things separate.. We also spend time chatting about trusting our intuition and using discernment, Katie pulls a card from her favorite deck, and SO much more!

I’m so excited to bring you this conversation with Katie. She is someone that I deeply connect with, and I’m so grateful for her love and friendship.

What Fuels You? Oct 19, 2018

Show notes

What fuels you?

What energizes you?

What gets your engine moving?

What is the motivation that gets you up in the morning?

What is the fire that gets you to create, to play, to work, to be?

What is the fuel that fuels your engine?

Up until a conversation that I had yesterday, these questions weren’t something that I’ve spent a lot of time thinking about. The truth is, if it weren’t for this conversation I don’t know if I would have ever thought about this.

In this week’s bonus episode I share what has been fueling my engine and what I’m now consciously choosing to fuel me instead. I also talk about the impact a conversation about all of this had on me and the challenge I was given (and it’s the same challenge I’m giving you!)
