36: How to live your life on purpose with Sarah Von Bargen of Yes and Yes Mar 29, 2020

Show notes

Today I’m so excited to have on to the Sunday Soother podcast one of my internet girl crushes - Sarah Von Bargen of YesAndYes.org. Sarah is a writer and educator who helps her audience spend their time, money, and energy on purpose. In a time today when many of us are probably reflecting on what is necessary in our lives and what is not, what makes us happy and what doesn’t, and how we want to spend our days intentionally going forward after social distancing, this podcast and Sarah’s insights are just a wealth of useful and practical information.

This was recorded in early March, right as COVID-19 was starting to impact the U.S., but before social distancing and stay-at-home orders.

In our conversation, we dive into a lot of great stuff:

The difference between habits and goals
If your astrological signs impact how you set goals and get stuff done
Sarah’s 12-step yet simple morning routine
How to practically rewire your brain to make good habits easier
Why we’re both secretly rebels who question the practicality of how society is set up today
The biggest blockers most people face when starting to create helpful habits
Why we as humans believe the most complicated solution is the best - when it’s usually not
How your success is often correlated to your willingness to be uncomfortable
And so much more!

34: Leaving your corporate career after burnout with Sara Brown Mar 22, 2020

Show notes

What happens if you’re in a long-term corporate career, you’re super successful, but you’re burned the hell out, and you dream of leaving to do … uh… something, anything else?
Sara Brown did this. She is a Sunday Soother reader who emailed me a few months ago to say my journey of leaving my corporate career to start my own thing — and all my reflection along the way — resonated with her. After a nearly 20-year successful career in corporate PR and communications, Sara realized she was desperately burned out and she just… left. I wanted to interview her to hear her story as I think the Soother community — and the world at large — are in a moment right now where we’re wondering if our careers are what we want to, or need to be, doing with and for ourselves.

Things Sara and I talk about:

The surprising ways burnout looked like for us
What it feels like to leave your job when you’re almost 40 and not sure where to go next
How we both decided to make these decisions and leap
How our careers were so crucial to our identities and self-worth, and how we are working to unwind that
Our favorite astrological tool

33: How to be a true leader in the workplace at this time Mar 18, 2020

Show notes

Hey guys, I've been so frustrated with how I see so much of the Coronavirus' effects playing out in the modern workforce and leadership that I recorded a podcast about how to be a true, humane leader and manager in these times. Much like other structural aspects of society that have been broken for a very long time, the current chaos is exposing flaws in the way the corporate world is structured and in the way management happens.

30: Self-discovery and self-care in the age of chaos and Coronavirus Mar 15, 2020

Show notes

This week, I get on my soapbox and talk about one of my personal passions: why I think intentional self-discovery helps fuel nourishing self-care, which then allows us to show up to create the world that we believe we need. I connect self-knowledge to self-nourishment and why that matters more now than ever for us to be able to show up in the ways that are important. If we can't create our own intentional lives who reflect who we are at our cores, we won't be able to create the world we want to live in, either. So let's get together to know ourselves.

29: Frustrated with eating, body image, diet culture, and more? Katie Seaver is here to help Mar 08, 2020

Show notes

"Most of us know what an unhappy relationship with food feels like. We may feel frustrated or annoyed or out-of-control or embarrassed or secretive. But what causes that unhappy relationship?"
That's the question posed -- and answered! -- by life coach Katie Seaver, who joins me on the podcast today for a wide-ranging conversation about our relationships to eating, dieting, body image and more. We talk about everything from compulsive eating habits, to what emotional and intuitive eating really mean, to shame around body image, and practical ways to reconcile and work through the fraught landscape that is diet culture today.

28: Demystifying healing and personal growth lingo Mar 01, 2020

Show notes

Earlier this week I did a Facebook Live breaking down common terms you might hear as you delve into your own self help and awakening journeys, and I'm bringing it to you on this podcast too. I define everything from what a boundary looks like, to what codependency means, to what an inner child is and why we all have one, to talking about shadow work and much more. I found when I started my own personal awakening journey many of the terms were confusing -- too spiritual, too academic, not accessible enough. I hope this helps make some of them more clear for you!

27: Getting support vs. not trusting yourself: what's the difference? Feb 23, 2020

Show notes

I recently had a client write to me about all the shame she felt around the amount of support she needed in her life. She says she feels she needs extra support; feels shame around the amount of support she hires and pays for; and wonders if this all means she can't trust herself.
Going off of this topic, I talk about the difference between getting nourishing support and not trusting yourself; why some of us, I think, DO need more support than others; and how you can distinguish what's right for you.
