Ep. 434: What to Do About Your Fear (And How to Move Beyond It!) Aug 27, 2024

Fear.

Yikes, right?

Fear keeps so many of us from doing the things that we want to do in our lives.

We all experience fear, but when we’re going through it, it’s easy to feel alone, and like we are the only one who get stuck in fear’s clutches.

So today, let’s get into fear - specifically, the kind of fear that keeps us from taking action on the things we want to do.

Let’s talk about:

The relationship between fear and procrastination
Why beating up our fear doesn’t work
5 steps to get through fear that is blocking your path

Tweets/Quotes:

Every time you try to fight the fear, all you end up doing is making it more powerful because you're giving it your attention, and everything you pour into it, it is going to give back to you exponentially.
Part of what happens with fear is that as we take action towards whatever it is that we're building, it starts to dissipate.
There is a better way forward for you, a more loving way forward, and a more sustainable way forward that is so much easier, because you are not pouring all of your energy into fighting the fear. Instead, you learn to work with it, and then on the other side, you actually have energy left to be in your life.

Ep. 433: Easy Ways to Find Motivation! (So You Can Get Going!) Aug 20, 2024

Oh motivation. It’s tricky, right? We think that if we could just harness motivation, we’d be unstoppable.

So how do we do that? How do we make motivation work for us?

And can we start TODAY?!

Um … yeah, actually!

So let’s get into it with:

The biggest motivational myth
Why not feeling motivated is not about weakness or laziness
Five motivational shifts that are going to help you start taking action

Tweets/Quotes:

Tell yourself the truth. Your life's purpose is not to white knuckle your way through to some externally defined end result that you are not connected with.

Stop making your goals unreachable. Stop it. The moon is not for your to do list. Put it on your vision board if you want to shoot for the moon. But for your to do list - be more reasonable.

You cannot out-motivate your capacity, nor can you use motivation to solve a capacity problem.

Ep. 432: How to Keep Going when Doing So Feels Hard Aug 13, 2024

You’ve probably heard some advice in the past about consistency, right?

Maybe people have told you not to “break the chain” as you’re pursuing a creative idea. Or maybe you’ve heard not to skip even one day when you are setting up a new routine.

And maybe you’ve also realized that advice like that can actually get in your way - as in, you miss one day, and figure all is now lost.

So today, we’re going to talk about consistency.

Listen in as we break down:

What that common advice about consistency gets wrong
Three mindset shifts we can make about consistency
My favorite consistency hacks that will help you follow through on what you want to do

Tweets/Quotes:

This is the first mindset shift that you have to embrace about consistency: Your version of consistency does not, should not, and will not look like anybody else's consistency.

You can be your own version of successful by embracing your own version of consistency. It's not a second place way of doing things.

You can always add on later if you want something fancier. But if you want consistency, make what you are doing stupid simple.

Ep. 431: Transform your Life with Gentle Productivity over Hustle Aug 06, 2024

Hello friends!

This week, we are tackling a question straight from my Gentle Productivity Club membership.

Here it is:

“Do you think it's easier to be gently productive after years of working to burn out?

I love the idea of being soft and gentle with myself, but I'm pretty early in my career and feel like I need to spend my spare time working now and be gentle later.”

Such a great question, right?!

So in this episode, we’re talking about:

Does it ever make sense to hustle now and rest later? (spoiler alert: nope!)
The big productivity myth
5 things to think about as we step into gentle productivity

Resources from this episode:

You can now also watch Raise Your Hand Say Yes on YouTube!

Tweets/Quotes:

“When we put aside the myth that says working harder equals more success, we can ask ourselves: what do I want to believe about success, about what's possible, about what that success looks like, about what creates it?”

“You have to trust yourself enough to know when you need to slow down. Yes, it's going to feel slower, but the quality of what you're able to create is going to be so much higher.”

“Remember that you are not even going to be able to call on the discernment that you might need, the faith that you might need, the trust that you might need, that radical self belief that you might need until you slow down.”

Ep. 430: Practicing Radical Self Belief (and creating a container of safety for YES) Jul 30, 2024

We are back with Part 3 of the pivotal yes series!

So first - a quick recap:

In Part 1, I talked about the yeses that have made the biggest difference in my life (and how they felt)
In Part 2, I talked about how to actually listen to the little whispers that pop up, and how to be with those whispers and begin to understand what they are telling you.

So - you might want to go back and listen to those episodes if you haven’t and yet.

And then today, we’re jumping into one of my very tippy-top favorite topics, Radical Self Belief.

Today we’re going to talk about:

How Radical Self Belief helps you cut through the noise and clutter of life
The 5 pillars of Radical Self Belief
How Radical Self Belief helps you create a container of safety

Tweets/Quotes:

~ 5:50

“What radical self belief allows us to do is create the container of safety within which we get to evolve and live and experiment and play and figure things out. We're creating that container as we take our baby steps.”

6:28

“One of the big secrets that I've learned being an adult is that everybody is making it up as they go. So you might as well play along for yourself, too.”

Ep. 429: Creating a Say Yes Lifestyle (with 6 steps to help!) Jul 23, 2024

Hello there friends!!

So … remember last week when we talked about listening to our quiet whispers and the yeses that have made the biggest difference in my life?

Today’s podcast is technically part two of that, so if you haven’t listened to that episode, be sure to head over and give that episode a listen first.

And then, dive into today’s episode where I’m talking about:

How to know which whispers to say yes to
What saying yes to your whispers actually looks like
6 steps to help you clarify and get closer to the yeses you’re craving

Tweets/Quotes:

~ 7:32 “Responsibilities don't take away our longings. And often our longings are pointed to something more powerful, something bigger and better. So even if you can only spare ten minutes (of quiet) a day, take that ten minutes a day.”

~ 9:01 “Notice the whispers. Just be with them. Hear them. Say, oh, that might be a whisper over there. Oh, that might be a whisper over there. The more that you notice them, the more that you see them, those tiny little whispers - they will get louder.”

~10:27 “The whispers that are meant for you are going to keep showing up.”

Ep. 428: The Pivotal Yes (yeses that have made the biggest difference in my life) Jul 16, 2024

I’m sharing the yeses that have made the biggest difference in my life.

We’re getting specific. And personal.

My hope is that in sharing them - you’ll be encouraged to find the yeses that you need most.

Tweets/Quotes:

~ 6:57 “Every single yes is a brick, paving your way into the life you want.”

~ 18:52 “What we're doing here, when we are saying yes, when we're thinking about our yeses, when we're talking about raising your hand and saying yes, we are creating a lifestyle. And that's what I want for you.”

~ 19:09 With every yes that you say, you reinforce that you are a person who figures things out as you go, who is brave, who does scary things, who can create a home within yourself so that the circumstances of your life don't determine whether or not you are a success, so that the the results from one thing doesn't determine whether or not you've made it or whether or not you can keep going.

Ep. 427: Saying Yes to Saying No (and How to Do It) Jul 09, 2024

We’re back this week talking about no.

I know! What are we doing talking about no on the Raise Your Hand Say Yes Podcast?

Well, as we discussed last week, nos are important and help serve out greater yeses.

With this in mind, let’s explore:

The different kinds of nos you may want to say
Scripts to help you say no (yes, please!)
A couple of great no resources

Ep. 424: Did my 2023 Revival work? (Asterisks & Pep Talks included!) Jan 12, 2024

Y’all. You know I love year-long experiments.

In 2013, I tried to get 100 rejection letters.

In 2015, I did a #postitdaily project on Instagram.

In 2017, I experimented with quitting booze for a year. (And guess who celebrated her 7-year sober anniversary on January 4!?)

In 2018, I did a #yearoftruthtalks on IG.

In 2022, I gave myself a Year of No.

And last year, I did Revival.

The goals of my Revival experiment were to:

release the rules about how things should be done
reclaim how I want to show up to everything—my work, my life, my family, my self...all of it
reconnect with my wildly-creative self and live the experiment out loud with radical self-belief, delight, curiosity, and intuition as my guides.

Soooo, did I do it? Short answer: yes. But there are A LOT of asterisks!

Listen in to hear about all those asterisks, get into why it worked, and what lessons I’m bringing into 2024!

Because we know there's something more to life than the perfectly coiffed, perfectly creative version of ourselves we think we need to be.

Ep. 423: Elise Cripe on Quitting the Internet (!!) Dec 13, 2023

What happens when you've been sharing your life online for 18 years, and realize one day that things aren't working? How do you step back from the internets when you're so connected to so many? Is this even allowed?

In today's show, I have a candid and insightful conversation with the incredible Elise Cripe. She's been a familiar presence online for 18 years (and has been on this show multiple times), but she's decided it's time for a big shift. She's stepping back from the internet. Indefinitely.

And she's talking about it here.

In this conversation, we talk about:
+ why Elise is making this change (including a look into the money piece!)

+ how long it took her to go from *hungry for change* to actually making it

+ what she's most looking forward to, once her life-online break starts

This is an in-front-of-the-change conversation that we don't normally here, especially when showcasing the Afters is so popular! Settle in, and enjoy!

EP. 422: Healing at the Speed of Snail: My 8-Month Break (and What's Next) Sep 01, 2023

Welcome back to The Tiffany Han Show! This podcast has been a 9 year journey, and today I'm sharing why I took an 8-month hiatus from the show. Dive into what I've learned about healing, patience, and self-care during this hiatus.

We'll also explore the concept of healing as a non-linear journey and the dangers of rushing the process.

And finally, you'll hear about future of The Tiffany Han Show, including what's in store for upcoming episodes (and why I can't promise weekly episodes quite yet).

Remember, healing is not a race; it's a deliberate and often slow process that always takes longer than we think it should. Have faith.

Thank you for joining me today, and I can't wait to continue this adventure with you on The Tiffany Han Show!

EP. 421: How Are You Evolving? (Plus: What's going on with this podcast?!) Nov 16, 2022

Hey, y’all! It’s been a minute, and I’m back with some updates. In this episode, I’m giving you the lowdown on what’s going on with the podcast, an update on my Year of No, and a preview of what’s on tap for the new year. I’m drilling down into the healing process and why it requires slowing all the way down, and sharing my desire to travel back to a simpler time. Perhaps we can hold on to what worked from our pasts and bring those principles with us into this new year. Listen in to learn how.

A Scrappy Year of No Update, Grown-Up Gap Year is Here, Nutella, and OMG All my Learning! Sep 28, 2022

Alright, y'all! All of my best September podcasting intentions got derailed by Covid, Mercury retrograde, and my launch. I'm back today with a scrappy update to share some big lessons I've been learning.

In this episode, you'll hear how my Year of No influenced my decision not to put out an episode now, what happened when we got Covid and how it affected my business, why I'm not freaking out about low launch results, and the huge *5 months in the making* revelation I had last week over a spoonful of Nutella.

EP. 419: Strong, Perfect, and/or Waiting...Which Are You? (The Encanto Episode is Here!) Aug 30, 2022

The Encanto Episode is here! But whether or not you’ve seen the movie, I’d like you to look at the three keywords in the title of this episode: Strong, Perfect, Waiting... Ringing any bells? There’s a reason this movie is so popular, and it’s not just because the songs are catchy as heck. The three Madrigal sisters give us an honest, sometimes gut-wrenching look into our own humanity and the pressures that come with it. Whether you relate to Mirabel, Luisa, Isabella, or all three on any given day, I’m giving you permission to slow down, release the pressure, and just be. Let’s share some magical Madrigal moments on today’s episode of the Tiffany Han Show.

EP. 418: You: Beyond the Busy (aka How to Avoid Frantic Chaos when There's a LOT Going On) Aug 17, 2022

Has this thought ever crossed your mind?

“I will _____ just as soon as I _____.” (Feel free to fill in the blanks with that thing you really want to do, followed by what you “have to” do.)

It’s easy to feel like we have to keep chugging along even when things feel out of alignment, and today’s episode is a reminder that we are not worker bees! We are made of stardust, and we deserve to live in a place that doesn’t feel like burnout—even when there’s a lot to get done.

Instead of hanging our hopes of relief on how quickly we can get things done, there is a gentler, more authentic, and meaningful way to move through our days and I want to tell you how. Less bee-ing and more being! Are you with me?

EP. 417: The Things We’re Not Supposed to Say (And What to Do With Them) Aug 02, 2022

As ambitious high-achievers, there are certain things we’ve been taught not to say. Instead of four-letter words. I’m talking about phrases like:

I’m dissatisfied with this life I’ve worked so hard to build.

I want something unnameably-different from this amazing looking life.

I want more. And less. And fun in a way I can’t articulate.

If you can relate, start by taking the bar of soap out of your mouth—there’s no shame in feeling what you feel. Today I’m talking about what happens when we say what’s on our hearts and minds without self-judgment, even though there’s pressure to stay silent and stay grateful—and how to use those unsayable things as *useful* information. Wanna join me in hopping off the hamster wheel of self-improvement and looking inward with me?

Welcome back for another Year of No Update! I’m addressing the question we’ve all been asking…did giving up social media destroy my business? Spoiler Alert: Nope! That’s not to say things don’t look a little different these days. Listen in as I share exactly how different this year’s Grown-Up Gap Year Early Bird Registration went compared to last year. That’s right. Down to the exact numbers!

I’m also chatting about what’s been coming up for me lately, some tricky things my brain is doing amidst the mid-year slipperiness, how social media worked for me last year, and why I might be preemptively thinking about hopping back in…Taking some time to discover what I’m most curious about has got me in full-on experiment mode, and I’m so excited to tell what I’m discovering!

EP. 415: What to Do If (and When!) You Hit a Wall and How Radical Self-Belief Can Help Jul 05, 2022

How many times have you forced yourself to power through when you don’t really want to? This week, I’m talking about a recent “I hit a wall” experience of my own when I reached my capacity and had to choose between two options: I could push through into burnout mode, putting out work I didn't feel great about. Or I could take a breath, give myself a little grace, and look around to see the earth still spinning.

You’ll hear what I did (I’ll be you can guess) and what things I want you to think about if (and when) you find yourself approaching! I also break down the pillars of Radical Self-Belief and how each can help you to slow down, be present, and keep from doing too much damage. A little late for preemptive measures? Don’t worry, friend. I’ve got something for you too. Let’s take a beat and feel a bit more alive, together.

EP. 414: The Year of No and My Business & How I'm No-ing My Way Through My Upcoming Launch Jun 14, 2022

Welcome back to another Year Of No update where I’m talking all things business! With the upcoming early-bird application period of Grown-Up Gap Year in sight, I’ve been tossing out the formulas and harnessing my energy to have a bit more fun with it all. Sure, the “way things are done” exists for a reason, but if disregarding the rules lights us up, shouldn’t we run with that instead?

Via my Year of No, I’m opting for freaking awesome over fine and ditching the master plan in favor of trusting my energy.. After all, isn’t that what Grown-Up Gap Year is all about? Hint: It totally is. Listen in for the inside scoop on how I’ve been moving through my business differently, how I know I’ve set myself up for “success,” and my hunch as to why my results probably won’t have anything to do with being strategic.

EP. 413: The Impossibility of Balance and Where to Play Instead May 31, 2022

It seems like everyone and their mother has something to teach us about “finding balance,” and maybe you think you could get there too if only you could just cross off enough on the to-do list! Today I’m here to burst the balance bubble once and for all, because while we’ve been taught incessantly about what a balanced life should look like, we’ve never been told what it feels like.

What if we scrapped the whole thing? What if we stopped striving for something that doesn’t exist? What if we found a way to light ourselves up in an unbalanced way? Do we dare find harmony in a song we can write ourselves? Today I’m sharing some helpful tools to do just that. Take a deep, centering breath and decide what’s enough. Ready to begin?

EP. 412: On Guilt, Doubt, Uncertainty, and "What is Enough?" May 17, 2022

Warning: This episode contains uncomfortable and necessary truths that will ultimately set you free. Today we're talking guilt, doubt, and the myth of “enoughness.” None of these plagues are going anywhere, anytime soon. AND we have the opportunity to tap into DFSTAG to take those initially wobbly steps toward strutting into a life we so desire. More good news? You’re not alone. We’ve got a LOT of unlearning to do, but we get to do it together! I’m going to clue you in on the tools to help dig deeper, the questions to ask for clarity, and even throw in a history lesson on why breathing is an important place to start. Are you with me?

EP. 411: Year of No Update: What We've All Been Waiting For + Something Completely Unexpected! May 03, 2022

If committing to a year of no was me planting a seed, I can now say that some very exciting (and pretty unexpected!) developments have taken root! I’ll get you caught up on how my Year of No is going, share what’s surprised me the most, and talk about my confirmation that a “Week of No” or a “Month of No” would never have worked for me. I also re-cap last week’s Bake-Along experiment, my delicious live chat about trying something new while simultaneously trying something new! So meta. Oh, and this whole episode is a great reminder that life is so much more delightfully exciting when you proceed in faithful surrender—without knowing the outcome.

Tune in to hear what I learned, and all that’s coming around the bend!

EP. 410: The Thing(s) About Surrender and Where to Look Next Apr 19, 2022

Relax your shoulders. Unclench your jaw. Today we’re talking surrender. While the word itself may summon images of everything from a day spa to a white-flag failure, I’m here to drive home the facts:

It’s not a walk in the park.
It is NOT the same as giving up.
You cannot “achieve” your way into it.

What you can do is join me today with an open mind and a willingness to explore some new perspectives around infusing a little surrender into your everyday. Let’s see how much more fun we can have when we loosen our grips and toil a bit less.

EP. 409: Slingshot Effect & the Opposite of Influence Apr 05, 2022

In today’s history and linguistics lesson, I’m getting to the root of the un-influenced life and how best to find our way there. Who are we when we’re not being influenced? How can we find our way out of the rabbit hole when we’ve forgotten our discernment? Who is actually making the daily decisions in our lives?

After that, we’re talking “Slingshot Effect” and how to best utilize it on our journey back to ourselves. So let’s slow down to make progress. Let’s get quiet to find our voices. And let’s become fluent in the language of ourselves. This episode is like one big exhale. Breathe in with me and let’s begin.

EP. 408: Your Best Life is Already Here Mar 22, 2022

Today I’m diving into the idea of “living your best life.” Usually, this phrase is followed by a list of items we have to buy or a checklist of tasks required to reach that coveted place. But how many cashmere blankets does it take to get to your best life? Why does it seem as though the to-do list keeps growing no matter how effortlessly we check things off?

And what might change for you if you embrace that idea that your best life is already here?

Maybe I’ve piqued your interest. Or perhaps you’re appalled at that notion…either way, I promise all will be explained in today’s episode. Join me to find out what it means to say that your Best Life is here, today, while embracing radical self-belief and the 5 pillars of DF-STAG. Fear not, toxic positivity is not part of the equation. Let’s take a break from all of this powering through and greet our best lives together.

EP. 407: Year of No: Month 2 Update Mar 08, 2022

This week on the Tiffany Han Show, I’m back with an update on my “Year of No” project, including all the ways I’m now saying “YES!” I’m also letting you in on my personal experience, especially during such turbulent times, living beyond the lens of social media. Spoiler alert: Instagram was costing me more than I realized. I’ve been asking questions, following my curiosity, spirit tending, and even sitting in emotions I might have scrolled away from in the past. It’s not always easy, but living in this experiment feels pretty darn good. I’m also announcing a BIG change coming to the podcast! Listen in to learn the what and why of it all!

EP. 406: The Imperative of Creative Time & Space with Eve Rodsky Feb 22, 2022

This week, I am thrilled to bring you my conversation with Eve Rodsky about her new book, Find Your Unicorn Space: Reclaim Your Creative Life in a Too-Busy World. Eve has been called “the Marie Kondo of relationships” and is the best-selling author of Fair Play in which she used her Harvard Law School training and years of organizational management experience to create a game-changing approach to helping partners rebalance the domestic workload between them.

In her new book, she has created an inspirational guide for setting new personal goals, rediscovering your interests, cultivating creativity, and reclaiming your Unicorn Space…or the active and open pursuit of self-expression in any form, which requires value-based curiosity and purposeful sharing of this pursuit with the world. Speaking of activities you lose yourself in, get lost in this conversation with Eve and me!

EP. 405: Five Things We Get to Stop Believing Feb 15, 2022

This week, we’re talking about a few beliefs that are standing between you and your radiant, Technicolor life, and why I want you to practice kicking them to the curb…starting now…with a ton of grace. Many of these beliefs are rooted in systems of oppression that influence so much about our lives, so while the beliefs won’t dissolve overnight, we can take the first steps away from them together. It all starts with awareness.

Not only will I be tackling these limiting beliefs, but I’ll also share how to prepare for the inevitable resistance that shows up when we try to live with more ease in our lives. Is that little voice your intuition or something else entirely? Tune in to find out, and allow yourself to start where you start.

EP. 404: The Stories We Tell Feb 01, 2022

When it comes to inspired life design, it’s very easy to focus on the things we’re doing (or not doing!). This week, I’m inviting you to go deeper and consider instead the stories you might be telling yourself about whatever’s been going on. More often than not these stories are packed to the gills with judgment. Our well-meaning but unhelpful brains are doing their best, but needless to say, it may be time to get mindful of the power these stories hold over our lives.

In today’s fun-sized episode I’m giving you a helpful exercise to create space between your brain and the living stardust version of yourself. Three simple questions will help to tap into a deeper level of awareness where DF-STAG is sure to meet you!

EP. 403: Year of No: Month 1 Update - Do I regret quitting social media? Have I cheated? What do I miss? Jan 25, 2022

Month one of my “Year of No” is in the books! As promised, I’m kicking off the first monthly check-in with a behind-the-scenes look at how it’s all feeling so far. And since I’m no longer on social media, you’re getting the unfiltered, highly-concentrated, shout-it-from-the-rooftops edition.

So how’s it going? Do I have any regrets? Have I cheated? Listen in as I reveal my full list of no’s for the new year, the criteria I’ve set for saying no in a way that supports a life led by my values, and what I’ve learned from a month away from social media. While you’re at it, let me know how YOUR journey into the new year has been, or find out if my “no’s” might be something you’re yearning to say yes to.

EP. 401: My Year of No Q+A Jan 11, 2022

Welcome to Part 2 of the LIVE 400th episode Zoom party where I open up the floor to questions about 2022 “My Year of No” and giving up social media for a full year (or…forever?). Join me and members of the audience as we question and answer what this shift is going to mean for me, how to say “no” in a way that’s expansive, and what happens when it’s eventually time to say “yes.”

Is this a big ole change? Yup. Is there a possibility of “failure”? Totally! Am I taking this opportunity to experiment with ways to open my life up to more moments of joy and magic? Absolutely. I’m willing to hypothesize that it just might be worth it. Have questions that weren’t answered in this episode? Head over to TiffanyHan.com/asktiffany and let me know what you’re curious about.

Episode 400! Can you believe it? In honor of this milestone moment, as well as the 5th anniversary of my sobriety, this episode was recorded live in front of a Zoom audience. Join us as I take a look back on my transition from “Raise Your Hand Say Yes” to 2022: My Year of No!

This year-long project begins with perhaps one of the most daunting “no’s” of all, and that’s NO social media. For the entire year! Listen in as I explain why I’m taking my year-long social media hiatus, how I’ve prepared, all the things I’m afraid of, and a handful of other no’s I’m embracing along the way.

While past years of this practice have been more helpful than others, now more than ever feels like the time to plaster mantras on the walls that inspire us to find a little more magic in every day.

I’m also talking about all things change and how to navigate it. Join me in taking a pause to consider if the discomfort and danger we feel is truly a threat to us, or simply to the way things used to be. Some BIG changes are coming around the bend (TBD in Ep. 400!) and I’m so excited to dig in together. Take a breath and tune in!

EP. 392: An ADHD Update! Nov 09, 2021

In episode 371 I brought some radical transparency with the announcement of my ADHD diagnosis. This week, I’m revisiting that diagnosis with an update of everything that’s changed since and how my journey has gone! From my sleep, productivity, and anxiety, to my journey with medication, it has been an eye-opening few months and I’m excited to check in on where I am now.

Other things I dive into include: How do we create a new normal, with ourselves and our loved ones, after a diagnosis like this? How do we acknowledge the truth of our struggles, without feeling as though we’ve been fooling everyone? And how do we find strength in saying the vulnerable things out loud? I’m addressing these questions as well as the questions YOU asked on Instagram in today’s episode. Listen in and join the conversation.

Disclaimer: This is my personal journey and NOT a decree on how things must be done. Please consult your doctor if you would like to address your experience with ADHD.

EP. 390: The Beautiful Nonsense of Being Alive with Adam JK Oct 12, 2021

I am so thrilled to be speaking to Adam J. Kurtz (aka Adam JK) on the podcast about his new book, You Are Here (For Now), a collection of essays and art about life, and change, and you, and me, and all of us trying to just be more okay. Let me say I devoured this book and had room for seconds it was so good.

Tune in as Adam and I discuss the difference between living and truly being alive with all the paradoxes along the way. If the pandemic has taught us anything it’s that we both have a lot of time and we don't. We know enough and also don’t have a clue. Nothing is permanent and if you’re evolving you’re doing something right, but being busy is not a personality. Like I said, paradoxes abound. Let’s get more comfortable with it all together in this amazing interview.

Together we drill down on what it takes to say “Yes!” to the changes we’d like to make in our lives, knowing where to start, and the role belief plays in all of it.

EP. 388: Racial Justice Through Mindfulness with Rhonda Magee Sep 28, 2021

In thinking about where to start when it comes to tackling racism and dismantling systems of oppression, it’s easy to feel like any right next steps can feel simultaneously like way too much and not nearly enough. Luckily I had the opportunity to chat with the incredible Rhonda Magee about her book, The Inner Work of Racial Justice: Healing Ourselves and Transforming Our Communities Through Mindfulness, and why mindfulness is the best place to start.

While this may seem like the least radical approach, Rhonda is here today to explain why that’s exactly the point. Get ready to quell your judgments and learn how to work toward racial justice by starting with yourself. Begin to lead with compassion and connect with others by means of doing your best, because you are enough! You do not want to miss this revelatory conversation!

EP. 387: Liberated by Less with Christine Platt Sep 21, 2021

Forget everything you think you know about minimalism and get ready for an education on liberating yourself from the physical and emotional clutter that’s no longer serving you. Christine Platt, author of The Afrominimalist's Guide to Living with Less, joins me today to chat about the true meaning of minimalism, the best ways to approach letting go of what is no longer serving us, and living more intentionally than ever before.

Only holding on to the things you need, use, and love may sound like a no-brainer...until you look around at the give or take 300,000 (that’s right) objects in the average home. What’s the harm in overconsumption? Think time, energy, and the emotional labor you could be imposing on future loved ones. I know this sounds like quite the undertaking, which is why I’m so glad Christine is here with us today to prove how attainable a mindful life with less can be.

Ah, productivity. The finish line we’re sprinting towards that stretches ever farther away the faster we hustle. Here’s the truth: We’ve been sold a raw deal on productivity and time. “Managing” our time stifles the magic of being alive! Today I’m calling out my fellow Super-Doers with a reminder that you can trust yourself.

Listen in as I reveal the lesser-known impacts of stress, how our current relationships with time can exacerbate them, and break down the 5 Pillars of #RadSelBel in relation to how we’re approaching our time and our lives.

EP. 385: Why Delight and #RadSelBel and Feeling Good are *Allowed* Even When Things are Hard Sep 07, 2021

Time for some RADICAL transparency: my impulse (note, impulse) was to ask myself today if talking about #RadSelBel and Grown-Up Gap Year even mattered when it felt like so many hard things were happening around the world...until I saw a tweet that reminded me of why I do what I do.

Today I’m offering the warm reminder that it’s okay to feel both rage and hope. That #RadSelBel helps us slow down and bring even more of ourselves to a world that desperately needs it. Being in touch with our creativity helps us solve problems, no matter what lane we’re in, and making space for that is more important than ever.

You may have noticed quite a few ch-ch-changes around here lately and today I’m opening up about all of them. Between the retirement of my Inner Circle and the birth of my new program, Grown-Up Gap year, I certainly stopped to wonder at times what all this change was for. After all, why fix it if it ain’t broke, right?

Wrong.

I’m taking a page out of my own book and getting curious, moving intuitively, and stepping into change from a place of love and not obligation. I’m approaching these changes with the same spirit I plan to instill in Gap Year, which is not about pulling out of life and obligation but showing up to everything in a new way. Listen in to find out how it’s all going down and why Grown-Up Gap Year might be exactly what you need.

EP. 383: Make Some Noise with Andrea Owen Aug 24, 2021

Today we welcome back author, speaker, and life coach Andrea Owen!

Together we chat about Andrea’s newest book, “Make Some Noise” and what it means to step forward in life, not necessarily with confidence, but with the conviction that you deserve to take up space, raise your voice, and well...make some noise! We also dissect the importance of unlearning all that we’ve been conditioned to believe, particularly as women, and the four steps that will help you on the way.

Healing through trauma, feeling fulfilled, and finding happiness is possible for all of us, but as Andrea says, “If you want to change your life, you have to actually change your life.” Listen in for some game-changing advice and places to start.

Today I’m sharing some personal stories about seemingly simple challenges that packed a big metaphorical punch for me. I’m drilling down into the low-stakes situations in which I flex my grace and faith, making it easier to call on them in the future. I’m indulging in my growth mindset, letting myself off the hook, and asking, “What is possible if…?”.

EP. 381: Breaking the Good Girl Myth with Majo Molfino Aug 10, 2021

Who would I be if I stopped being a “Good Girl”?

This is the question on my mind after today’s prolific chat with Majo Molfino, coach and author of “Break the Good Girl Myth: How to Dismantle Outdated Rules.”. Together we dissect the “5 Good Girl Myths” and the importance of dispelling them in your own way. Toppling the patriarchy is a tall order made even stickier when we learn that the patriarchy lives within all of us. Majo and I speak at length about the sneaky and often invisible impacts of the systems we’ve all been born into. It’s time to take responsibility, to own the friction, and unlearn the thoughts and behaviors holding us back from our most radiant Technicolor lives. Where to begin? For starters, listen to this episode and read Majo’s incredible book!

EP. 380: How I'm Walking My Walk Aug 03, 2021

Today I’m putting my money where my mic is and revealing exactly how I’m walking my walk when it comes to living a life grounded in radical self-beleif (#RadSelBel!). Slowing down to engage in the life-long practice of what I preach is less about the BIG DECISIONS to make change, and more about the daily baby steps we take to flip the script, prioritize our values, and give ourselves permission to live in wonder.

Disclaimer: What works for me may not work for you. In fact, it may sound like the very last thing you want to do. Remember, there is no correct path towards your most radiant Technicolor life! This episode will illustrate my teaching in practice and help to spark ideas for what just might bring a bit of fun and fulfillment into your days.

EP. 379: Creating Adventure with Cait Flanders Jul 27, 2021

Whether she is adventuring through the experimental changes in her everyday life or adventuring around the globe, Cait Flanders has created a life led by bold choices. Luckily for us, she has chronicled it all in her newest book, “Adventures in Opting Out” and is chatting with me today about what happens when we reframe our choices as adventures.

The majority of self-help books may assist in inspiring you to make significant changes in your life. They might even detail precisely how to execute them. But then what? What happens when we get the sinking feeling that maybe we made the “wrong” choice? Or when those closest to us don’t understand or respect what we’re called to do. What if life is just fine and yet we feel called to change it anyway? Cut to Cait’s book and today’s episode, shedding light on these doubts and helping to embrace the discomfort that may show up, even when we’re moving in the right direction.

EP. 377: A Different Set of Fears & Doubts, Pt. 2 Jul 13, 2021

Welcome back to part 2 of this deep dive into the fears and doubts that often pop up when we decide to live beyond the to-do list. I’m adding a few more to the list and reminding you that this is a life-long practice that we can continue to work on together!

Why does this shift in perspective take time and support? Old patterns are hard to shake, especially when we’ve been brought up in a society that encourages you to reach for the stars but also to remain humble and grateful for what you already have. Does having the desire to better our lives make us ungrateful for what we’ve got? If you’ve felt the strain of this societal dichotomy, be sure to listen in and find out how we’ll work through this during Grown-Up Gap Year!

You know the ones...fear of failure, fear of success, fear of change, the list goes on and on. Well, today I’m going to talk about a different set of fears, ones that you might not even realize have been massively getting in the way of your most radiant Technicolor life.

So what’s on the other side of ambition? What if this is not as good as it gets? What do you truly need today, and what if you had the AUDACITY to start asking yourself? Join me in scratching the surface of all of these questions and get a taste of what we’re going to explore in Grown-Up Gap Year!

When it comes to Radical Self-Belief (heyo #radselbel!), I’ll likely still be talking about it in another 375 episodes. However, I have a sneaking suspicion I’m not alone when I say it’s easier to talk the talk than walk the walk. Today I’m bringing you the five pillars of radical self-belief to make it just a touch easier to lace up your sneaks and take the first step towards your most technicolor life. Gear up for the glory and the discomfort, knowing you can rely on these pillars to be your foundation along your way.

Welcome to the beginning of the #RadSelBel movement—I’m definitely on a mission to make it a whole thing. This week, grab your favorite pencil case and meet me for a powerful history lesson on Radical Self-Belief and the deeply rooted foundations of why it’s so dang challenging for us to trust ourselves. If this is something you struggle with, you’re not alone, and you’re NOT to blame.

When history class is over, we’ll step back into modern times to talk about what radical self-belief is (oh, and isn’t!) and what it can do for you! Let’s drop into a life that feels as good on the inside as it looks on the outside, and let’s do it together. #RadSelBel

I talk a LOT about this “over the rainbow” technicolor life we’re all aiming for...but what does that actually mean? More specifically, what does that mean for you? Can you live your most technicolor life and still get the laundry done? In this episode, I get real about everything a technicolor life truly is, and everything it’s not.

It’s time to dig deep, feel the uncomfortable feelings, and unlearn so much of what we’ve been taught by a world that values going above and beyond as the bare minimum. Let’s start the journey together.

I’ve been diagnosed with ADHD, which feels like the beginning of one journey and the end of another. ADHD diagnoses in creative, adult women are more and more common these days, and in this week’s episode, I discuss why I think that’s happening.

Join me today as I discuss my personal journey to diagnosis, how I approached the conversation with my doctor and advocated for myself, why I was quick to say yes to medication, what I’m currently processing on the other side of things. and the importance of destigmatizing women’s mental health challenges.

EP. 370: On Doubt and the 5 Yes's to Pay Attention to May 25, 2021

We’ve all heard the adage, “If it’s not a ‘hell yes’ it’s a ‘hell no’,”...and I’m asking, “Is it really that simple?” Today we dive back into a prior episode that just might be bubbling with brand new meaning.

In my experience, there’s no stepping into an expansive, technicolor life without a handful of doubt and a healthy dose of faith. Join me as I chat about the 5 different types of Yes’s that show up most frequently in our lives and how our doubt plays a valuable role in stepping forward with faith. Say “YES!” to this episode, then listen in to find out just which yes you expressed!

In today’s episode, lovingly dubbed “The Asterisk Episode”, I’m laying down some inconvenient, yet expansive truths about our inconvenient feelings. Let’s exhale into the possibility that we can feel fear and faith at the same time, that we can come to a decision with certainty while still having a few dozen questions to answer, and that slowing down will inevitably spur on momentum. Listen in for the pep talk you crave when things feel a bit more three-dimensional than you had anticipated.

So you know how everyone always says that you’ve gotta “CEO it up!” to be successful? If you currently have your CEO hat on, feel free to pop it off and rest it gently on the dashboard if that feels right for you, because I want you to listen to today’s episode free from the structures, systems, and shoulds that may or may not be working in tandem with your values.

Today I’m circling back to a conversation we began together some time ago about letting go of the “business” of my business, because I personally needed the reminder after slipping back into my old barreling ways. I’m going to tell you all about my new program (eek!), the epiphany I had while planning it (spoiler alert: it required some tweaking), and what happens when you decide to stop “making it work”, and maybe just don’t do it.

Whether or not you’ve had the opportunity to go full Marie Kondo on your home just yet (I’m right there with you), there’s still so much to learn from “The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up”. Today’s episode takes a look at the teachings of Marie Kondo through the Tiffany Han lens in what I consider to be more of a decluttering of the soul.

Get ready to zoom up and out of that one drawer you’ve been fixating on, may it be a literal kitchen drawer or more of a metaphorical mental cabinet, and dive into the life-changing magic that you know we love to throw around here on the Tiffany Han Show.

EP. 364: The 7 Things I'm Bringing With Me Apr 13, 2021

Nothing complements a tall glass of nostalgia like some freshly baked life lessons to bring along for the ride. This forward-facing episode is about the 7 things that I picked up in my nearly-7-years of making the Raise Your Hand Say Yes podcast that I’m bringing with me into this new chapter of The Tiffany Han Show, and with the help of some inspired determination, my life as well.

We often fear change before the realization dawns on us...“Hey, I’ve actually been changing all along!” Let’s take a step toward being more present and intentional with those changes and embrace a new sense of expansiveness, together.

If you’ve been craving an evolution in your own life or feel like you’re right on the precipice of something different, I’ve got you covered! (Also, this is a great time to remind you that you’re allowed to both honor all the amazing things you’ve done up until now AND step into something new!)

Even though my podcast is shifting (I'll meet you right back here next week with a new name and artwork), it will still be me chatting in your ear about the things that are lighting me up and interviewing fascinating people.

Today, though, I’m sharing the inconvenient whispers that led me to this change, how I navigated the process, and what all of this means for the future. For detailed show notes, visit www.tiffanyhan.com/blog/episode362 .

Have you ever felt like you're outgrowing (or have outgrown) an aspect of your life?

My whole perspective shifted on a FaceTime call with a friend a few months ago. He saw my sad-but-regularly-watered plants in the background and told me that those plants of mine were really unhappy and that even though I was watering them, they still needed food and enough space to grow.

This episode is about plants, but it’s also about us—how we water ourselves, what nourishment we truly need, and if the containers we’ve given ourselves are the right ones. It’s all a big ol’ metaphor, of course, and it’s also a precursor to the shift I’m making in my business.

Ep. 355: What to do when you lose momentum & how to get back into motion Feb 09, 2021

We often think that to get some momentum in our lives, we need to do and be more.

But what if gaining momentum actually required slowing down?

Today, I’m sharing how my guiding phrase of the year—bold and slow—is also how I approach momentum, plus how slowing down is how we can keep moving forward without ignoring our needs, desires, and all the things that matter most to us.

Ep. 354: Tiptoeing into Radical Self-Belief Feb 02, 2021

Back in December, I asked my Instagram followers to tell me what they wanted to shift in their life in three words or less. One of the answers that really stuck out was this: radical self-belief.

Learning how to trust in ourselves and operate in this world from a place of love isn’t a one and done action, but it is so, so, worth it.

Listen in to find out how I’m defining radical self-belief and why choosing it day after day can change your life and the world for the better. For detailed show notes, visit www.tiffanyhan.com/blog/episode354

This week, I'm sharing about how I recently hit a CEO-shaped wall in my work, what I did once I realized I was tempted to walk away from everything I've spent over a decade building, and why having this "burn it all down" moment was so important.

Aaaaand (spoiler alert: I'm not going anywhere), I'm also talking about the identity I'm moving into as I ditch the CEO title and what the shift means to me as well as the different ways I think it will play out in my work this year!

In this episode, I'm sharing the things that I thought I knew about sobriety before I quit drinking but was super wrong about as well as the great surprises that I didn't even know to expect!

Ep. 349: My Backstory (aka How I Got Here) Dec 29, 2020

In a world full of people telling us how they can revolutionize our businesses and that we need to leap and hope with all we have that our nets will appear, how can we be so sure that the move we're going to make is The Right One?

This week, I'm taking you through my journey (starting Freshman year in college) of so many Raise Your Hand Say Yes career moves that eventually got me to the place of starting my coaching practice, going full time, and starting this podcast.

There are twists. And turns. And backtracks. And pivots. As is to be expected by life. But, there was also so much learning - which I'll share as well.

Enjoy, enjoy, enjoy, and remember: you're doing great. You're not alone. Keep going.

What I Said:

"We are meant to evolve, and sometimes we evolve beyond the confines of our current situation."

"How to start from scratch? You just start."

"You are capable of more than you realize."

"If you're on the precipice of something and you feel that nervous excitement, it is okay to take a small step."

"Don't let that questioning convince you not to take the step because it's the step that makes all the difference."

Ep. 348: On beginnings, tiptoeing into the year, and asking different questions Dec 22, 2020

Whether you're ready to dive headfirst into the new year or you're still trying to wrap up the last one, I've got you covered with this episode. We're going to talk about endings, beginnings, and the questions I want you to consider as you think about the start of the year. (And also: wherever you are is beautiful and wonderful. YOU ARE DOING GREAT.)

Aaaand in case you need them for reference, here are the questions for you to consider:

*How do you want to feel?

*Where are you finding meaning?

*What's going to bring you peace?

*What are you ready to release?

*What are you ready to find your way back to?

What I Said:

"Beating yourself up in order to live your best life doesn't work."

"The thing that brings you peace might also bring with it some temporary disruption."

"Transformation hangs in you doing the work to get to the bottom of where you want to be."

Ep. 347: On being enough, doing enough, and redefining enough (aka How to be an Orchard) Dec 15, 2020

What do you think about when you hear the word "enough?"

In this episode, I’m going to tackle what I see as two different (and often competing!) realms of being and doing enough and then offer ways to help you redefine the word according to your own standards. (Amen and hallelujah to that, right?!)

First: Am I enough? This is all about YOU and how it feels to be you in your life and showing up to yourself.

Second: Am I doing enough? AKA why having a strong value of service does not mean you have to sacrifice your humanity in order to show up for the world.

I also cover the power of your values, self-alignment, the importance of not measuring your worth based on somebody else's standards, and why those tiny little steps are the way to start. Oh! And then I wrap it all up with talk of seeds, harvest, and how to make an orchard with your life.

Things I Said:

"If an idea won't leave you alone, it's a sign that you are the person being gifted with that dream."

"Being of service does not mean that you have to sacrifice your humanity."

"The only starts that we can make are small starts...one step at time."

"Don't let that voice that tells you 'You are not doing enough' keep you from doing anything at all."

Those Timestamps:

04:30 - The realm of 'being enough'

14:16 - Reckoning with discomfort

18:14 - The realm of 'doing enough'

21:58 - Values and self-alignment as a compass

Ep. 346: 6 Signs You're on the Right Track Dec 08, 2020

This week, I'm talking about some signs you can look for to show you that you're on the right track and why they might be different than the ones you're currently watching for!

Being on the right track might be creating something new, but it might also be just listening to your longings. And so it’s critical to know whether - “Should I keep going?” or “Should I quit?” – especially if the road feels so rocky.

So today, I’m giving you 6 Signs You're On the Right Track – and right track means the things that you want to say YES to... or it might also be the things that you are ready to say NO to.

Things I said:

"Having doubts means you are changing your perception and the way you show up."

"Pay attention who you are telling your ideas to."

"If it is meant for you ,it will keep showing up."

"Rocky roads aren't roadblocks. They don't mean that you have to stop. They're just a sign that you are moving forward."

Those Timestamps

00:35 – What 'being on the right track' truly means

05:03 - #1: You have doubts

09:50 - #2: It makes you nervous

14:09 - #3: Your inner critic shows up

16:47 - #4: People around you don't get it

22:30 - #5: You're nervous to talk about it

27:33 - #6: You feel an overwhelming pull to move forward

Ep. 345: The 12 Stages of Burnout and How to Get Out of It Dec 01, 2020

When was the last time you woke up feeling like you were excited to dive into your day? If you're not sure, you might be suffering from burnout.

In this week's episode, I'm sharing the 12 phases of burnout (as developed by psychologists!) and talking about why I think—as hand raisers and yes sayers—we're especially prone to burning ourselves out.

I'm also sharing one of my favorite super-easy-to-start-using tools for beginning to move yourself beyond burnout.

What I Said:

"The answer to moving beyond burnout is never that you need to work harder."

"If we say ‘yes’ without saying ‘no,’ then we are just saying ‘yes’ to everything, and that’s not going to work"

"We often hang out in the early stages of burnout and don’t think there is anything wrong with that."

"Moving forward does not mean we have to sacrifice ourselves.”

Those Timestamps

04:30 - The 12 phases of burnout

06:35 - Excess of ambition

08:30 - displacement of conflict

Ep. 344: Mara Glatzel on Being Needy and Radical Responsibility Nov 24, 2020

Tell me this: would you avoid anything in the world to feel needy? Do you want to go deeper into your desires but feel selfish in doing so? Are you so accustomed to taking care of everyone else around you that you never have any time left for yourself?

Sweets, pull up a chair because this vintage episode with life coach and host of the Needy podcast, Mara Glatzel is going to be balm for your soul. I wanted to have Mara back on early in the Money, Sex, Freedom series so we could talk about how wanting more for yourself in those areas is totally okay and also SUPER ENCOURAGED.

And, newsflash: having needs doesn't mean you're faulty or a failure. It means you're human! (WHOA.)

Dive in. It's so good. (Mara, thank you. You are a gift.)

What She Said:

"It is both essential and normal to have needs."

"Having your needs met makes you so much better at everything you do."

"If we can't make space for taking care of ourselves then we can't bring a full version of ourselves to anything that we do."

"When you lack trust in something, you create a lot of rules around it."

Ep. 343: Nat Lue on Boundaries and the Dark Side (!) of People-Pleasing Nov 17, 2020

I loved talking with Natalie Lue for this week's vintage episode and we covered so much ground, including: habits (and relationships!) that aren't serving you, how to step beyond those well-worn patterns, drama and our addiction to it, and how people-pleasing is actually a manipulation (SAY WHAT?!).

We also covered identities that don't serve us, letting other people dim our light, and why having emotional baggage doesn't mean anything other than that we're human.

Natalie blew my mind in this episode and I think you'll love it!

What She Said:

"Patterns happen when we're living unconsciously, and that means we’re not living who we are."

"We're so used to giving ourselves a hard time that we often chase things that deep down we don't want."

"Sometimes we want something so badly it feels like a need but it isn't."

"People pleasing masks a hidden agenda... Being honest about what our reasons are could be a real game-changer."

"Adulthood is about unlearning all of the harmful and unproductive stuff that we pick up along the way."

"We have to take the journey and go through whatever we need to experience to learn what we need to learn."

Those Timestamps:

04:04 - Recognizing and letting go of old identities, habits, emotional baggage

13:44 - Taming your inner critic and silencing the negativity

Ep. 342: Impulse vs. Fact, aka How to Keep Going When Your Brain Gets Tricky Nov 10, 2020

The big question we're tackling this week in this vintage episode is this: how do you proceed towards the life you want to live when your pesky brain keeps getting in the way with the fear and the doubt and those sneaky impulses?

(Related: how do you get yourself to do the things that matter most to you when, in the moment, you just don't want to!?)

(Also related: if you experience this, YOU ARE NOT ALONE.) Dig into this week's episode to hear about why I want you to ignore your brain and what to focus on instead!!

What I Said:

"We build resilience, confidence, and progress through action."

"The answer is not to have it all figured out. It's knowing enough and having the faith to willingly take the next step."

"The impulse is not the authority of your life. You are!"

Those Timestamps:

Ep. 341: Tanya Geisler and the Imposter Complex Nov 03, 2020

"I'm not good enough. I'm not ready. I don't belong here." These are just a few of the things the Imposter Complex would have us believe (yes! there's a name for that!) and this week I'm thrilled to have life coach and Imposter Complex expert Tanya Geisler back on the podcast to talk all about the Imposter Complex.

In this vintage episode, you'll hear what it is, how it shows up, what it means if you experience these things (it's good, I promise!) and how you can move beyond it to get all those things you want for your life (looking at you money, sex, and freedom!).

What She Said:

"Every great thing that we've ever done has been by feeling that fear and doing it anyway."

"The ego wants to want more than it wants to get."

"We have to have areas in our life where there has to be relief—where you can just rest and not have to be the best at things."

Ep. 340: Lena West on Money, Discomfort, Value, and Worth Oct 27, 2020

Money, money, money! It's uncomfortable and necessary to talk about.

This week, I'm bringing back a conversation with my former business coach Lena West to dive straight into the most-uncomfortable parts of the money conversation, including: why we show up the way we do around money, what's beyond the "charge what you're worth" mantra, how to deal with money discomfort (and why it probably won't go away!), why striving to just be nice is bullshit, what happens when the people in your life aren't supportive of your endeavors, how to know what to charge, and SO MUCH MORE!

Lena is all heart and no bullshit and will shake up your beliefs around money in the best way! Enjoy, enjoy!

What She Said:

"The amount of money is not the point. It's about what is non-negotiable for you and standing in that."

"Getting to 5, 6, 7-figures in your business isn't a walk in the park."

"The money has to have a meaning; otherwise it's just some arbitrary nonsense."

"Don't share dreams with people who don't have any... share your dreams with dreamers and doers."

Y'all! I'm taking a break! Whuuuuuut? Yes! After over 6 years of producing (at least) weekly episodes for this show, I'm talking a wee break, and in this week's episode, I'm sharing why I'm pausing now, what that's going to look like for the podcast, and how you can take a break as well.

Listen this week to find out the practical things I'll be doing during my break (because I have to make it as useful as possible, don't I? lol.) as well as the ways I'm holding space for myself. Aaaaaand you'll get to hear a little bit about what might be coming down the track for RYHSY. A new podcast name?! Maybe, just maybe. WHO EVEN KNOWS ANYTHING ANYMORE???

Oh! If you're already wondering when new episodes will be coming, don't fret! I've got a bunch of my faves queued up for your ears while I'm away!!

What I said:

"Just because you can keep going doesn't mean you should."

"Your break doesn't have to be all or nothing."

"Let 'I don’t know' be normal. Accept it for where you are right now instead of working harder and pushing more."

Those Timestamps:

Ep. 337: How (and Why) to Stop Doomscrolling Oct 06, 2020

Have you found yourself down the rabbit hole of social media lately? This week, I'm tackling doomscrolling and looking at how you can take strides towards less social media consumption and why it's important to do so.

I’ll be giving things to keep in mind about what social media is giving us these days, practical things that you can do to stop ‘doomscrolling’, why it doesn’t mean that you are bad person spending time in these apps, and the power of setting hard limits and letting go of the ‘all or nothing’ mindset as you regain power over your time.

What I said:

"Things start to change when we are willing to tell ourselves the truth."

"Setting the boundary is the easy part. Maintaining the boundary is the hard part."

"Be willing to set hard limits for yourself to break the habits."

Those Timestamps:

00:48 - Doomscrolling... and social media consumption dilemma
09:05 - Acknowledge what it gives you and pay attention to what it costs you
16:51 - Set a boundary for yourself

Ep. 336: What's Next? (And all the rage, grief, and hope in that question) Sep 29, 2020

This week, I'm talking about what to do when you find yourself either wanting something to change, recognizing that something's not working, or recognizing that you don't know where to go next.

Picking up a thread from my conversation last week with Rob Bell (and his new book Everything is Spiritual), I want to examine the question/prayer/mantra "Now what?" and show how we can work with it to get the clarity we're after.

If you're not sure what’s next or still figuring out the next steps in the life that you want, this episode is for you!

I share what it means to keep going, how to find clarity, why anger is okay, and what embracing curiosity and grace can bring to your life.

What I said:

"The reason that I have 336 episodes is I kept going."

"Prayer is a powerful tool."

"What we need to be aware of is what’s on the other side of anger."

"The knowing will lead you to curiosity, and curiosity will lead you to clarity."

Everything is Spiritual by Rob Bell

RYHSY Ep. 335: Rob Bell on Everything is Spiritual and Apocalyptic Hope

Ep. 335: Rob Bell on Everything is Spiritual and Apocalyptic Hope Sep 22, 2020

In his new book, Everything is Spiritual: Who We Are and What We're Doing Here, New York Times bestselling author Rob Bell explores the endless dynamic questions and connections that have shaped his life, providing powerful insight into understanding one's purpose and place in the world. And I am thrilled to be in conversation with him this week.

Listen in to hear me and Rob talk about his 11th book (!!), the nature of life, why "looking for" spirit is playing the wrong game, why hope needs to be apocalyptic, the problem with all those ladders we've gotten really good at climbing, and what's important to know about boredom and death.

Rob Bell has been one of my greatest teachers and I'm so excited to introduce him to you!

PS. Applications for the RYHSY Inner Circle close on Friday 9/25! Get all the details here!

What He Said:

"The elimination of obstacles, barriers, and discomfort is a recipe for boredom."

"Spirit is often lurking in whatever you most dislike."

"I want people to experience the wonder and awe of their own existence."

"Having your palms up to let go is the only way you can receive anything."

This week, I'm in conversation with creative coach, explorer, educator, designer, and Inner Circler Anne Ditmeyer.

Listen in to hear us talk about being uncool, giving yourself permission to be ridiculous, why getting lost is a good thing, what happens when you keep saying yes to opportunity, why you're allowed to seek out joy even during a pandemic, and the power of using creativity to solve problems. We also talk about her experience in the Inner Circle (applications are now open!), so if you're curious about what's available there, have a listen!

What She Said:

"I want to be as uncool as possible."

“Nobody acknowledges how much time content takes to create”.

"What are those stories that aren't told?"

"Make it human."

“The value comes from people who are not like us.”

“Get lost on purpose; there are multiple ways to reach a destination.”

"Drawing on a banana is the new standard."

"Be ridiculous."

Ep. 333: Gillian Freeman on Finding Peace & Freedom Sep 08, 2020

I am so excited to be talking with one of my current Inner Circlers Gillian Freeman, of Pen & Thimble, this week! Gillian creates handmade, eco-friendly products for her business and is a busy mom of 2.

In this episode, we talk about her experience in the Inner Circle, what brought her to the work, what she learned about pausing and taking breaks, and why she didn't really believe that what's happened for her was possible (but it was!).

We also talk about how things changed for her along the way, why she's taken up a new hobby, and where she's looking next.

Applications open Monday 9/14 for the next round of the Raise Your Hand Say Yes Inner Circle (we start October 1!) and if you're wondering if it's a good fit for you, Gillian's story will be helpful so you can see what's available!

What She Said:

"Success that's built on a foundation of burnout is not success."

"It's not just about the business but who you are as a person - what you believe and what you want."

"You don't have to put all of your ambition on hold in order to feel good in your life."

"Whatever you need to do, start now... It's a journey."

Ep. 332: Those Unseen Costs of Staying Still Sep 01, 2020

Yes. Raising your hand and saying yes to what you want for your life is going to require time and energy. And you might have precious little of it (hey! There's a free challenge for that!). But this week, I'm talking through all the things that not following through on what we want for our lives is costing us. And what I know is that it's time for us to shift our standards of what's acceptable. To stop letting doubt make our decisions. To take a stand for what we want even when circumstances are less than ideal. Overcoming inertia will always be a challenge. It will only get harder the longer you wait. And those things keeping you up at night? They aren't going anywhere. So what would happen if you started investing in yourself. (Yes. Even right now.) In this episode, you'll hear me talk about helping you set a foundation of being yourself in your life. Showing up to everything as the single version of you. Living on the outside as who you know you're ready to be on the inside. It's bold and brave and beautiful. Let's go. What I Said: "Your pre-COVID life was too much. No wonder you don't know where to put yourself right now." "Continuous improvement is not your life's purpose." "Staying where you know you don't want to be is never going to help get you what you want." "I'm asking you to step into simultaneously easing up on yourself and holding the entire world to a higher standard of what's okay and acceptable." "Long-term stress is killing us." "Extreme dissatisfaction can be an impetus for change." "The resistance keeping you still is only going to get louder the longer you wait." Those Timestamps: 04:57 - The unseen cost of not saying yes to yourself 13:36 - Knowing when to start looking for something else 20:04 - Extreme dissatisfaction and overcoming resistance 29:17 - The power of rest and slowing down 35:36 - Taking a step closer every day 38:35 - Are you playing the game you want to win? 43:31 - How to start making your shift Show Notes: RSVP for the free September 8-10 Choose Yourself Challenge Submit a q or topic idea for a future podcast episode Take the Agency Archetypes Quiz

Ep. 331: Glennon Doyle on Becoming Untamed, Real Self-care, and Changing Your Mind Aug 25, 2020

This week, I'm kicking off Season 8 with Glennon Doyle!

Glennon is a New York Times Bestselling author, an activist and thought leader, and is the founder and president of Together Rising, an all-women led nonprofit organization that has revolutionized grassroots philanthropy – raising over $25 Million for women, families, and children in crisis.

In this conversation, we talk about Glennon's new book Untamed (it's ESSENTIAL READING y'all!), and cover the following: doubt, faith, what's required before you can really take care of yourself, how to consider what the most true and beautiful version of your life is, why permission to change your own mind is critical, and how you can find your own "there she is" moment.

What Glennon Said:

"May our dreams become our plans."

"Faith is a belief in the unseen order of things."

"It's impossible to take care of yourself and your family if you don't first untame."

"There is no construction of the new without destruction of the old."

"The goal of family is to create a community where everybody gets to bring their full self to the table."

"Truth is kindness even if it makes people uncomfortable."

Listen to Learn:

08:09 - Living the truest most beautiful life (and how this is available to everyone)

14:38 - Believing in the unseen order of things and how to hold onto that faith when things feel rocky

18:29 - How Glennon deals with doubt (yes! She has it too!)

22:46 - Permission to change your mind and why it's a hard thing to think about

27:50 - Living an 'untamed' life (The cheetah story) and how we're thinking of our goals all wrong

36:47 - Overcoming the fear of rocking the boat

46:39 - How Truth-Telling the truth is kindness

54:14 - Finding that 'there she is' moment (and how it might be different from what you think!)

Ep. 330: Living in and Embracing Contradictions Aug 18, 2020

Do you need rest or to work harder? Should you focus on your end goal or stay present to what you need right now? Is what you're doing too much or not enough?

This week, I'm diving into how learning to live within contradictions instead of either/or thinking can help us both more forward towards our goals and feel better within our days.

What I said:

"Step into the breadth of everything that is in the IN-BETWEEN instead of thinking about things as EITHER-OR."

"The point of having goals is to help you decide your very first step of action, not put you on a forever-path."

"Building relationships with people does not mean that you have to sacrifice who you are."

"Maybe it's the all-or-nothing thinking and not your failing as a human that's keeping you stuck."

Those Timestamps:

00:28 - Living in the contradictions
08:06 - Hurry up or slow down?
13:31 - Have goals or detach from outcomes?
21:15 - Live your values or build relationships?
24:16 - Know where you want to go or live in the now?
30:21 - Take care of yourself or stay flexible
37:10 - Too fast...Too much or Too slow...Not enough aka How to proceed if you feel like there's SO MUCH you can't control.

This week, I'm releasing the audio of my recent How to Have the Life You Want training (click here to get the video replay and catch the slides!). You're just 10 quick and easy steps away from the life you want!! That's how this works, right?

Freedom. Connection. Ease. Faith. Grace. I want all of those for you every single day. Let's get going. Things I Said: "The small things count just as much as the big things." "You've got to be willing and able to let yourself be human. You're not a ROBOT." "It is not your life's purpose to deny your humanity in honor of your ambition." "We don't have to overperform our way through our days to have the lives that we want." "Grace is that ability to get it wrong, learn, and keep going."

Ep. 328: Embodied Values & Bridging the Divide of Who you Are and Who you Want to Become Aug 04, 2020

This week, I'm answering a listener question (hi Susan!) about how to embody and live into one's values, but I'm also taking this question deeper to talk about how to get started in bridging the divide between where you are now and where you want to be, even if (and especially when!) that divide feels overwhelming and insurmountable! I also share how you might be treating those seeds you're planting so unfairly and what to do instead as well as give some personal-for-your-agency-archetype advice for each type. (I feel like I took myself to church on this one; thank you for your question, Susan! It inspired so much!) What I said: "When it comes to embodying values, our job is to stay really fluid, nimble, and open." "If we keep taking steps, those steps might take us somewhere surprising." "If you are not embodying your own values, you're embodying somebody else's." "Commit to using your values as your compass even if everyone else seems to be loving some totally-jacked-but-socially-acceptable-enough compass to guide their lives." "The answer to getting to where you want to be is not to stay where you don't want to be." Those Timestamps: 06:11 - How to get started with a values list 08:16 - Commit to imperfect and uncomfortable action 12:47 - How small steps can be a game-changer for you 18:17 - Values as a compass 24:20 - Crossing the divide between where you are and where you want to be AND how to approach this considering your Agency Archetype 30:08 - Destruction as an unbuilding Show Notes:

Ep. 327: The Power of Destruction (and What Happens When you Stop Fearing it) Jul 28, 2020

It's easy to think of destruction as something negative (and thus to be feared). And our fear around it often limits us and keeps us stuck. Today, I’m showing a different perspective of destruction, one that can be used to embrace it as a way of unbuilding and a chipping away of things as we rebuild our lives. Tune in as I talk about the power of destruction, when it is a positive thing, how to welcome unbuilding in your life, where to start in the rebuilding and how to have faith in your personal agency. Enjoy! What I said: "You can simultaneously be grateful for what you have and want things to be different and better." "If you live on a tightrope but are always clinging to the edge, you have nowhere to go." "If we let fear run our lives and make our decisions, the thing that we're most afraid of usually becomes true."

Ep. 326: Juggling the Unknowns Jul 21, 2020

How do you grapple with uncertainty? How do you find your footing when the only thing that feels guaranteed right now is chaos? How do you step into faith when keeping all your current balls in the air feels overwhelming? This week, I walk you through juggling the unknowns. We are going to talk about moving forward during uncertainty, decision making and why you need to trust yourself, the value of constantly refilling your well, practicing self-care, and how to find faith amidst the unknown. And a simple reminder: your job is not to have all the answers. Your job is to have faith. What I Said: "It's important that you refill yourself so that you have the energy to fully show up." "Difficulties don't mean you are doing things wrong; it is part of what shows that you are doing them right." "There is nothing wrong with not knowing. Stop looking for the absolute Right Answer." "Faith takes practice (and an ongoing commitment to something you can't see)." Those Timestamps: 02:45 - How to move forward in uncertain times 13:18 - Decision making, discernment, and trusting yourself 19:59 - The 'absolute right answer' dilemma 24:22 - How to start finding faith in the unknown Show Notes: RSVP for the How to Have the Life You Want Webinar Take the Agency Archetypes Quiz Get on the early-bird notification list for the RYHSY Inner Circle Submit a q or topic idea for a future podcast episode

Ep. 325: Vanessa Mentor on Pausing, Sovereignty, and the Truth about Self-Care Jul 14, 2020

This week, I'm talking all things self-care with Vanessa Mentor, coach, teacher and the creator of Living Unrestrained.

As an advocate of self-care, Vanessa helps people re-learn how to give without over-giving and love without people-pleasing so they can live the life they say they want.

In this episode, Vanessa and I tackle sanity and self-care, being fierce in attending to yourself and your needs, pausing and easing, how to reframe busyness into intentional choices, and what it truly means to be generous.

We also talk about how self-care is a radical act that's especially needed right now and flip a few things you might be thinking about taking care of yourself on their head!

Episode Quotes:

"Self-care is a set of learnable skills that starts with self-awareness."

"If you want to help somebody, get yourself together." - Wendy Palmer

"True self-care can never be selfish nor indulgent."

"By caring for ourselves, we increase our capacity."

"Self-care allows us to activate our sovereignty. Every day."

Show Notes:

Ep. 324: But what about the guilt? Jul 07, 2020

This week, I'm talking about guilt. The guilt of letting people down we try to avoid. The guilt of living out of alignment we try to avoid. The guilt of not doing "enough" we try to avoid. (Yeah. Can you see a theme here?) In this episode, I'm sharing how to grapple with all of that guilt, the importance of being rooted and grounded in yourself, understanding your core values and what matters most to you, and what it means to live a life in alignment with your values. (And, why, at the end of the day, guilt isn't the most important thing to pay attention to.) What I said: "Challenges don't mean it is bad or that you shouldn't be there. Often it means that we are on the right track." "The moment of guilt doesn't have to define our character." "When we get grounded in ourselves, we are less likely to live at the whims of trends." "It is essential that you are aware of your own unique set of core values." "There is a deeper peace and freedom when we live in a way that is in alignment with our values."

Ep. 323: On Being Enough, Doing Enough, Redefining Enough, and How to be an Orchard Jun 30, 2020

What do you think about when you hear the word "enough?"

In this episode, I’m going to tackle what I see as two different (and often competing!) realms of being and doing enough and then offer ways to help you redefine the word according to your own standards. (Amen and hallelujah to that, right?!)

First: Am I enough? This is all about YOU and how it feels to be you in your life and showing up to yourself.

Second: Am I doing enough? AKA why having a strong value of service does not mean you have to sacrifice your humanity in order to show up for the world.

I also cover the power of your values, self-alignment, the importance of not measuring your worth based on somebody else's standards, and why those tiny little steps are the way to start. Oh! And then I wrap it all up with talk of seeds, harvest, and how to make an orchard with your life.

Things I said:

"Live your life and prove to yourself what you are capable of."

"If an idea won't leave you alone, that is the sign that you are the person being gifted with that dream and vision."

"Service does not mean that you have to sacrifice your humanity."

"If you're measuring your worth based on somebody else's standards it will be impossible to live up to that."

"The only starts that we can make are small starts...one step at time."

"Don't let that voice that tells you 'You are not enough' keep you from doing anything at all."

Those Timestamps

00:43 - Am I enough? - YOU, purpose, and service

10:35 - Reckoning with discomfort

14:36 - Are you doing enough?

18:20 - Values and self-alignment

23:02 - Stop letting others decide for you

Ep. 322: On Doubt and the 5 Yes's Jun 23, 2020

**RSVP for the Agency Archetypes Training on 6/30 at 11am PST**

This week, I'm talking about doubt and saying yes.

More specifically, I'm going to talk about how, I've shifted from thinking that "doubt means don't" to seeing doubt as a requisite part of the raise your hand say yes process and what it has shown and taught me about living life in integrity and alignment with my values.

I also tackle the commonly-heard phrase "If it's not a hell yes, it's a no" and offer a nuanced approach to both that phrase as well as the 5 different yes's I want you to consider, as well as the one that's the most important and easiest to ignore.

My goal for this episode is to give you insight into things that get in your way that you can shift as well as some new ways to think about your obligations, priorities, and how what you most want is likely found in what you're most likely to avoid.

Episode Quotes

"We have to make peace with the doubt and know that it's a part of the process."

"The hardest part is how to keep going. The hardest part is how to get back up when you've been humbled."

"When we only say yes out of obligation, we are shutting off the flow of spirit."

Those Timestamps

04:05 - Finding faith, Making peace with doubts

13:59 - When you stumble, you get back up

21:34 - The 'easy' and 'safe' yeses

26:32 - The 'obligatory' yes

36:56 - The 'OMG! I'll do it!' yes

37:42 - The 'Oh Fuck I kinda hate this I kinda love this!' yes

39:55 - Self-communion and self-agency

Ep. 321: Nat Lue on Relationships, Bandwidth, Anxiety, and Respect Jun 16, 2020

I am super excited to be bringing Natalie Lue back to the podcast. Natalie is an author, speaker, teacher, and podcaster at Baggage Reclaim Sessions, where she helps people get address all the things - lack of self-worth, habits, relationships - that are standing in their way of living the life that they want.

Listen to my previous episode with Natalie on boundaries, emotions, and the dark side of people pleasing. (This episode was such an aha moment for me!)

This episode was recorded the first week of May, so you’ll hear us talk about the COVID-19 lockdown (and what it has to teach us!), what to do when people are continuously letting you down, what it means to sit in our discomfort, the importance of self-awareness and slowing down before we reach burnout, what our relationships can teach us about ourselves, and how to even recognize what we actually want and need.

Nat, you are a gift! Thank you for coming back on the show!

Episode Quotes:

"Burnout is not just a cause of work, burnout can occur in any area of our life."

"We have to learn to read our surroundings and not just live in the past."

"We have to recognize that each of us have our own personal bandwidth that encompasses our emotional, mental, physical, and spiritual health."

"The more things that we say YES to that really we don't need to is the less bandwidth we have."

"If we are always being all things to all people, we lose that self-connection."

"Stop saying YES to things that make you feel like shit."

Those Timestamps:

04:37 - Quarantine life reflections, slow down and dodge burnout

14:24 - How to deal with relationship anxiety

24:07 - Self-awareness and paying attention to one's needs

37:54 - Professor Life: understanding life's bandwidth

Ep. 320: Playing Small to Play Bigger Jun 09, 2020

This week, I'm tackling a question I get a lot: how do I balance slowing down with the big goals that I have for myself? Do I have to choose one or the other?

Short answer: no.

Longer answer: there's a lot to consider here.

We’ve been programmed to think that BIG is BETTER. The thing is, playing big is often what our ego wants. And it's easy to demand of ourselves that we do ALL THE THINGS IMMEDIATELY. (Which only leads to burnout and not being able to make progress on much at all!)

So where do you go instead? What if focusing on playing small is actually the starting place?

If you’re someone who feels disconnected to your life, or you feel connected to your life but feel disconnected to yourself, then this one's for you. You'll hear about the value of getting granular with your life, why ‘sitting still’ could be empowering, keeping your focus on the life that you want, self-compassion, and taking bold actions. Enjoy!

Things I said:

"We can actually get closer to the lives that we want by learning how to play small in order to play big."

"The things that feel small might actually be the most powerful expressions of you and your gifts in the world."

"How we do one thing is how we do everything."

"In the hard moments, your number one job is to stay put."

"The core of the life you want is rooted in your values, personal agency, self-care and compassion."

Those Timestamps:

02:00 - You've got big work to do

07:40 - Playing Big vs. Playing Small

15:10 - Getting granular with your life

22:38 - The power of 'sitting still' in hard moments

25:11 - Personal agency, self-care, self-compassion

34:25 - Ditching your "Yeah, But"

38:05 - Go play small, get granular!

Ep. 318: Gina Senarighi on Relationships, Granular Pleasures, and the Trouble with Self-Love May 26, 2020

This week, I’m joined by Gina Senarighi, relationship coach, retreat leader, speaker, and author specializing in human connection, intimacy, authenticity, shame-resilience, and alternative relationships. Yes. She does a lot and is so smart!

Y'all are for a treat this week as we talk about how to live in relationship with ourselves and others, why putting all your eggs in the self-love basket may not be serving you, how to make the changes in your life (that actually stick!) and do the things that you love (even if you're not sure where to start!), what self-alignment at home and at work looks like and why pleasure is essential -- but shouldn't feel like a daunting endeavor. Enjoy, enjoy!

Things that were said:

"It's the micro changes that we make that builds whatever change we want long term."

"Our relationships with other people are founded in the relationship we have with our self.”

"Shame never motivates long term behavior change or sustainable changes in people's lives."

"Sometimes learning to love yourself comes in learning along with somebody else."

"When we start to savor the pleasures that we can add in to our day then it becomes less like all or nothing."

Those Timestamps!

04:44 - Importance of micro changes to make big changes in your life

08:17 - How your relationship with yourself sets your relationship with others

10:31 - Practical tips to find your way back to yourself

20:46 - Self-alignment at work and at home

Ep. 317: Those Things I've Gotten Wrong: A Very Incomplete List May 19, 2020

This week, I'm taking a walk down memory lane to look at the things I've gotten wrong (some WAAAAAY wrong) in the past 5.5 years of doing this podcast.

You'll hear my revelations on risk, self-care and burnout, tackling big goals, pleasure, and how everything (annoyingly so!!) starts at home. (I'll also share what I mean by that!)

Aaaaand you'll hear me talk about why I'm comfortable sharing this list and what I'm doing about these revelations. Because this learning is part of the process and just because I've gotten things wrong in the past doesn't mean I can't keep going and bring my learning along with me!

Episode Quotes

"We cannot just say YES to the risk without also saying YES to the reverence."

"There is something really beautiful about realizing that you are stronger without the shield of all the things you've convinced yourself make you stronger."

"Self-care is a daily and ongoing devotion to yourself and the things you want to do."

"Pleasure and delight are not frivolous."

"The things that you want to do all starts with YOU and how are you showing up to yourself."

"It's not about what you are doing, it's about who are you being."

"The fix may not be quick, may not be comfortable, but it is available. Are you willing to show up anyway?"

Timestamps

07:45—What I got wrong about embracing risks

20:07—Rethinking Self-care & Burnout

30:08—The value of going deeper (and what I'd missed before!)

36:47—Confession: I'm a bit of a 'ping-ponger' (and the value of holding your course)

40:04—Everything starts at home...and how you can apply this learning to your life!

Ep. 316: Laura Jane Williams on Keeping Secrets, Feeling Feelings, and Loving Interrogations May 12, 2020

I’m so excited to chat again with Laura Jane Williams. She was one of my lovely guests over a year ago when I was doing my Money, Sex, Freedom series, where we talked about worth, parenting, and some sex stuff too.

In this episode, you’ll hear us talking about writing, being an author, LJ’s books ‘Our Stop’ and ‘The Love Square’, social media and friendships, how unplugging from Instagram allowed her to like her friends more and be a better friend, Instagram boundaries, telling the truth about your life, and permission to feel pleasure and delight.

Ep. 315: Tilly Walnes on (Super!) Simple Starts, Returning to Yourself, and Cutting the Onion May 05, 2020

How do you build an entire handmade clothing empire out of a New Year's Day dare? That's exactly where my conversation with Tilly Walnes, of Tilly and the Buttons, starts.

In this episode, you'll hear us talk about how she took sewing from hobby to business, how to maintain the spark for any creative endeavor, what to do if you want to make something but just cannot find the time (ahem...you'll hear me commit to something that I 100% didn't follow through on!), and how to get over the initial hurdles of getting started.

(And let me know if you want to be accountability buddies on making something from Tilly's new book!)

Ep. 314: Holly Whitaker on Quitting, Not Giving Up, and Constant Interventions Apr 28, 2020

Ahhh, this interview y'all. There is so much goodness here. This week, I'm talking with Holly Whitaker, founder of Tempest Sobriety School and The Temper, and author of the recent "Quit Like a Woman: The Radical Choice to Not Drink in a Culture Obsessed with Alcohol." Holly also played a huge part in my decision to quit drinking, over three years ago, and I loved getting to have this conversation with her.

Even though we recorded pre-coronavirus, everything we talked about is relevant to where we are today. You'll hear us cover pivotal life moments, why sometimes feeling guilty is okay, how to decide what you owe yourself vs what you owe others, non-linear paths of learning, and why you might need to live in a way that allows you to have constant interventions.

We also talk about why it's okay not to be okay and how showing up is part of the healing.

Ep. 313: Values, Sliding Doors, and Permission Right Now Apr 21, 2020

This week, I'm going behind the scenes of all my values talk to show you what values look like in action in our lives. Right now. During the COVID-19 pandemic. Yep. Even then.

You'll also get to hear me tell two different versions of how I could be showing up right now (it's my Sliding Doors moment!): one that involves chasing the values I'm "supposed" to want: success and family. And another that looks like aligning myself with my personal #1 value: integrity. It's a journey!

What we're currently exploring is how you can Be Your Own Anchor in times of great uncertainty. Which...yes. That's where we are right now. (But it's also where we've always been, just with different specifics.)

This week, I'm talking with my dear friend and teacher, Lacy Young. You'll hear us talk about living with (and in) overwhelm, a very different definition of thriving than what we've been taught it should look like, how to ground yourself when you're in a spin, and what we can learn from wildflowers and melting ice.

We also cover: anxiety, self-compassion, identity, caretaking without losing yourself, and finding your own voice and power in the midst of all the chaos.

Ep. 310: A story about agency. (And a reminder that this is not normal.) Mar 31, 2020

Today's episode includes my thoughts about where we all find ourselves, why slowing down is more critical than ever right now (and how it can lead to more productivity than you realize!), and a story about the doubt and uncertainty that can show up when you speak up for something you need.

There's also an invitation to live from a place that doesn't create resentment (yay!!) as well as to think about what you can practice now to bring into your post-Coronavirus life.

PS. YOU ARE DOING GREAT AND I LOVE YOU. KEEP GOING.

Ep. 305: Friday Quickie: Listener Q - When (and How!) to Keep Going Mar 13, 2020

This week's quickie is my response to a listener question.

Elizabeth wrote wondering "Keeping at something can yield a masterpiece, or it can result in not much. So how does it work? Is it a question of passion? Enjoying the process but being detached from the result? And does everyone have the ability to keep going or does it require a certain kind insight into yourself?"

And while I don't have a Clear Cut Answer, I do have many thoughts. Enjoy, enjoy!

Aaaaaaand what if you could cultivate that for yourself on a daily or weekly basis so that you didn't get to the point of needing to completely check out of your life to find it?

Settle in, because I have some thoughts for you!You'll also hear my theory on an alternate ending for Mr. Alexander Hamilton had he been able to just...waitforit...take a break!

Ep. 278: Gratitude, Friend or Foe? Nov 26, 2019

Ahhh...the days of gratitude are upon us! (Happy almost-thanksgiving y'all!)

Hooray? Ugh? Whatever your feelings about gratitude are, this episode is for you. In it, I'll unpack where I think we've gone wrong in our never-ending, Instagram-driven quest for gratitude, what I think is amazing about it, and why I think that we all could use more gut-punch moments of gratitude in our lives. (Because those are the ones that probably really matter!)

I also have a Marie Kondo moment wherein I ponder the contents of my desk, talk about a few of my favorite friend teachers, and share a story that put my own gratitude to the test.

Enjoy, enjoy, enjoy!!

This week, I'm joined by business coach Lena West to dive straight into the most-uncomfortable parts of the money conversation, including: why we show up the way we do around money, what's beyond the "charge what you're worth" mantra, how to deal with money discomfort (and why it probably won't go away!), why striving to just be nice is bullshit, what happens when the people in your life aren't supportive of your endeavors, how to know what to charge, and SO MUCH MORE!

Really. Lena is all heart and no bullshit and will shake up your beliefs around money in the best way! Enjoy, enjoy!

We often hear advice, in hindsight, from people who've been living their dreams. But what about people who are just starting out? Is it possible to move towards your goals in a sane way in the beginning of an endeavor?

This week, I'm talking with fresh-out-of-her-day-job systems coach Brooke Monaghan about just that. You'll hear about why Brooke ran away from her dreams for 15 years (!), what her turning point was, the counterintuitive thing she did to prepare to go full time, and what happened when she was finally free of that day job!

You'll also hear about Brooke's experience in my RYHSY Inner Circle and why what she most needed to learn was what she was least expecting. I loved our conversation SO MUCH!! Enjoy, enjoy!!

The big question we're tackling this week is this: how do you proceed towards the life you want to live when your pesky brain keeps getting in the way with the fear and the doubt and those sneaky impulses?

(Related: how do you get yourself to do the things that matter most to you when, in the moment, you just don't want to!?)

But my guest, writer, speaker, and designer John Zeratsky is going to shake up your whole world when it comes to the question of how much time do you have *and* how are you spending it.

In this episode, John and I talk about what to do when you're "losing" time, how to get yourself out of the busy-filled cycles so many of us exist in, how to let things go AND STILL get things done (because we aren't trying to throw our ambition baby out with the bathwater!) and how to figure out a system that works for YOU and allows you to focus on what matters most to YOU. (Yes. Those capital YOU's matter because this isn't about following someone else's prescription of How To Do Everything.)

Happy 5th birthday Raise Your Hand Say Yes!!! This week, I'm sharing some thoughts as my podcast baby celebrates her fifth birthday and rather than sharing lessons learned, I'm sharing 5 questions that I've learned to ask myself throughout this entire Start and Maintain a Podcast phase of my life! Listen in to hear what YOU can start asking yourself as you navigate those big goals you have for yourself, and learn about how nothing needs to make sense, baby steps are the only steps to worry about, and what I want you to do (yes! do!) today! You'll also hear me name my podcasting studio in real time, get a glimpse at what my 5-year-ago priorities for the show were when I started (you'll be surprised!) and hear why I'm totally okay with you loving or not-loving Harry Potter!

Ep. 259: Stephanie McKenna on Money, Debt, and Saying Things Out Loud Aug 13, 2019

Money. Debt. Earning. Mindset. Shame. Vulnerability. And saying it all out loud. This week, we're diving into all of these things with Stephanie McKenna who's been on a quest to pay off her debt, change her relationship with money, and shift her mindset around work out loud.

We cover how mindset shifts are the key to everything, how Stephanie started out by focusing on the wrong thing (and how she shifted that), the surprising things she learned when she considered what she really wanted (it wasn't just more money!) and how she relieved herself of her own Internet-induced, self-defeating expectations and timelines.

This conversation is so refreshing!

I loved talking with Natalie Lue this week and we covered so much ground in this episode, including: habits (and relationships!) that aren't serving you, how to step beyond those well-worn patterns, drama and our addiction to it, and how people-pleasing is actually a manipulation (SAY WHAT?!).

We also covered identities that don't serve us, letting other people dim our light, and why having emotional baggage doesn't mean anything other than that we're human.

Natalie blew my mind in this episode and I think you'll love it!

Our conversation took so many turns and went from talking about that pesky quest for work/life balance to creating what you wished existed in the world to letting yourself move beyond being "nice." (Cuz we know there's more waiting for us out in the world!)

We also talk about Brooke's new kickstarter project, the Balance Bound Planner, the mess behind "create what you wish existed" and how the Inner Circle helped her get this project up and running.

This week, it is my deep pleasure to bring you my interview with coach, speaker, and writer Africa Brooke. Africa was the very first person who came to mind when I thought up my Money, Sex, Freedom series because her work lives at the intersection of all three things.

In this interview, you'll hear us cover so many topics, including: letting go of performing your way through life (both in and out of the bedroom), acknowledging fear and speaking up anyway, why owning your personal power may look different than you think it does, what to do with your fear of success, healing through self-pleasure, moving beyond childhood sexual shame, and how a connection to your body can help you stand in your power in so many other ways.

Yes. We cover SO MUCH GROUND. And, if you've ever found yourself with the feeling that you're carrying something big and powerful within you and feel both terrified and exhilarated by that knowing, this episode is for you. Enjoy, enjoy!

Ep. 240: The Opposite of Burnout Apr 02, 2019

When was the last time you woke up feeling like you were excited to dive into your day? If you're not sure, you might be suffering from burnout.

In this week's episode, I'm sharing the 12 phases of burnout (as developed by psychologists!) and talking about how why I think—as hand raisers and yes sayers—we're especially prone to burning ourselves out.

I'm also sharing one of my favorite super-easy-to-start-using tools for beginning to move yourself beyond burnout.

In addition, you'll hear from one of my current Raise Your Hand Say Yes students, Michelle Barnes, about her experience in the course and what it's given her EVEN THOUGH from the outside looking in, her life is as busy as ever!! (And heads up: registration closes Friday, 4/5!

Ep. 239: The Convenience of Your Fear Mar 26, 2019

Wait. Fear is convenient? You might be thinking, "no way!" but on this week's episode, I'm going into how our habitual fear responses are getting in our way and what we can do instead.

SO MUCH of raising your hand and saying yes starts with looking at the individual moments of your everyday life. (Even though it's way more fun to daydream about those Big Things the future holds.) This week, I'll show you how those two are woven together and help get you on your path to ease, freedom, and flow!

You'll also hear from Elizabeth Simms, one of my current Raise Your Hand Say Yes students, on what my year-long course has done for her and her life! And there's still time to sign up for the class—we start April 1 and the first 50 registrants receive a bonus 1-on-1 session with me!

Ep. 238: The Integration Problem (aka What to do When it's Time to Follow Through) Mar 19, 2019

It's easy to focus on the first step necessary when taking on something new (and challenging!), but the follow-through is actually a much harder thing to integrate.

This week I'm talking all about integration and how I think it's time we turn our gaze from the beginning of an endeavor to what happens when we get into something—how do we stay connected and on track, especially when that pesky fear and doubt creep in?

I'll go all in this week on my own very recent integration problem and offer 4 things to keep in mind as you work on your own integration! You'll also hear from Stacy Kazimer, one of my current Raise Your Hand Say Yes students, on what my year-long course has done for her and her life!

I was so excited to get to interview Alexandra Brown about her book A Year Off (that she co-wrote with her now-husband) about her adventure of spending a year traveling around the world with said-husband, then-boyfriend, and everything she learned in the process.

We covered *so much* in this interview, including:

-feeling selfish
-what to do when people doubt your decisions
-being an overperformer
-dealing with anxiety
-finding adventure in big and small ways
-what motherhood and travel can teach us

And so much more! Enjoy, enjoy, enjoy!!

How good are you at—really, truly— taking care of yourself? Are you sitting in a not-so-great situation hoping it resolves itself? Is there a change you want to make in your life but are paralyzed by fear, doubt, and the potential disruption said change will potentially cause?

I have got you covered. This week, I'm diving into five things that I wish weren't true, but are and how you can use these truths to get moving towards that life you want to be living and all those things you want to do, be, and say—without compromising your standards *or* your sanity!

I'm also here to tell you that rather than trying to systems your way to doing more in less time, you can find even more freedom by digging deeper.

I am so excited to have author and illustrator Ann Shen back on the podcast for the third time. On the surface, our conversation is about routines—how to find them, how to keep them, and how to stay committed to them.

But once we dug deeper, I realized that this conversation was actually about how to find practices that help you release anxiety and then how to allow those practices to be a priority for you in your life. Without apologizing for what you need and who you are.

This week, I'm kicking off Season 6 (!!) with my social-media-sabbatical partner-in-crime Tammi Salas of the Unruffled Podcast.

You'll hear us talk about why we decided to take a break from social media, how it has everything to do with our sobriety from alcohol and the things that were both great and hard about the month.

This episode was inspired by a listener's request to cover setting more realistic goals as a topic. Here's the thing: while I don't think we need to necessarily worry about how "realistic" our goals are, I also think that we can get better at pulling ourselves off the brink of burnout in order to live the lives that we want to live.

But is it possible to do both? I think that it is - AND - that it's not only possible, but necessary. In this episode, I break down how and give real-life examples (literally from my life!) of what this process might look like!

+ how I let go of being held back by the fears of failure, success, and disruption
+ what saying yes really looks like

Ever wonder if you're the "right" kind of creative or if you're doing your creative endeavors the way you should?

Have you ever called yourself "not creative" just because you aren't a visual artist or a maker? Have you ever looked around at what everyone else is doing with their work and thought that they must surely know something you don't?

If you answered yes to any of the above, you are not alone! This week, I'm diving into the question of what it means to do creativity the "right" way - you KNOW I have thoughts - as well as what we all can learn from my experience being an imperfect podcaster, what I learned from a business planning class with Jenn Lee, and how what a 7th grade art teacher stuck with me for nearly 20 years.

How do you know when a change is necessary or when it's antithesis to the person you really are? And, then, if you are ready to try out the change, where do you even start?

These are just a few of the questions that come up around habit change and this week, I'm diving into my own shift in my habit around waking up in the morning. Yes, hand raisers, you heard that right: I am (on purpose!) waking up every morning at 6 am (begrudgingly) and am working on becoming a morning person.

Listen in to find out how I'm approaching it, how it's going, and what my journey has to do with those life and creative habits that you're ready to shift. Because you know this is about so much more than what time you're alarm goes off in the morning!

Ep. 202: 10 Things I learned from 200 episodes Jul 10, 2018

Are y'all ready for this one? It's time to pause to honor the first 201 episodes of RYHSY (I still can't believe it!) and this week I'm sharing the 10 things I've learned in my four years (so far!) of podcasting!

Here's the full list in case you need a cheat sheet:

1. Start where you are.
2. Do the scrappiest version you can to get going.
3. If it works, it's good enough. (For now.)
4. Refine over time - you'll know when it's time to make shifts.
5. Shout your stuff from the rooftops. (Yes, more than you're comfortable with!)
6. Have high standards and own that.
7. Don't keep trudging down a self-created path that you don't love.
8. ...but don't quit too early either!
9. Relationships are EVERYTHING.
10. Pause to look at where you've been, even if you still want to climb farther!

Thank you to everyone who's been a part of the success of this show (over 1 million downloads!) - here's to the next 4 years!

Ep. 201: On Anxiety Jul 03, 2018

Let's talk about anxiety and real life and what happens when you make a bold move toward something you really want and it's *still* hard.

This week, I'm taking you through the inner workings of my brain and sharing my recent experience with purchasing a home in Colorado and how that kicked up my anxiety BIGTIME.

My hope in talking about this stuff is that it starts getting normalized and that anyone who can relate knows that they aren't alone. Let's all keep going together, eh?

Ep. 200: The Power of a Moment Jun 26, 2018

Episode 200. WHAT?!?!

This week, I'm looking at the big picture (200 episodes!) as well as the individual moments that create a movement.

I'm diving into my thoughts on hitting 200 episodes, Hamilton, and hard-boiled eggs (I promise it all makes sense!) as well as the reasons I'm not willing to only have one call to action and why I'm not doing a "Everything I learned in 200 episodes" just yet.

If you're getting frustrated by inaction in your creative process, this episode is for you!!

Ep. 199: The Self-Fulfilling Prophecy of Fear and Why You've Gotta Do It Anyway Jun 19, 2018

Let's talk about fear - it's intense and it's real. Buuuuut let's also talk about how one of the biggest secrets of creative success is being a person who's willing to take action despite their fear.

In this week's episode, I'm breaking down different examples of how fear is self-fulfilling for what I hope is the pep talk you've been waiting for to get a move on!

If any of these are familiar, I've got you covered:
+ It's too late for me to get started.
+ But what if someone takes my idea?
+ I don't know enough.
+ I'm not ready.
+ People will judge me/what if someone doesn't like it?
+ OMG WHAT IF I FAIL?!

Ep. 196: The Art of the Follow Through May 29, 2018

Let's dive in: if you want to make those big ideas of yours happen, learning the art of following through on your big ideas is essential!

In this episode, I'm breaking things down into the basics that you need to get going and raise your hand and say yes to the big things keeping you up at night!

Want a cheat sheet? Here you go:

Your 5 Follow Through Guiding Principles:

1. Talk is cheap if it's not backed up by action.
2. Any action counts.
3. You're never going to have things completely figured out. Learn to embrace the "I don't know" and move forward anyway.
4. You know more than you realize. Go deeper.
5. It's up to you to find a force stronger than your fear.

And what to do about it:

1. Make a list of all those things you say you wanna do.
2. Star the 1-2 that feel like the most exciting.
3. Pause to consider the following: How would it feel to
a. never get around to making it happen?
b. see someone else doing it?
4. If you're still in, figure out the Start, commit to taking that step, and then DO IT.
5. Start taking really good care of yourself.

Repeat. Repeat. Repeat.

Courage. We all could use a little more of it, but not having it might be holding us back from doing the thing that will help us get it! Enter: Kate Swoboda and her new book The Courage Habit (which I'm pretty sure was written for us!).

In her new book and in this conversation, Kate helps unpack the different habits associated with courage and how we can step past our fear to get out into the world and follow through on all those things we *say* we want to do!

Kate also gives permission to let go of working so hard and needing to be everything to everyone (amen and hallelujah!) and offers tips for how to start stepping out of your old stories into the things that are going to make you the most proud of yourself.

This conversation and this work is so important. Enjoy!

Confession time! I haven't been doing the things I say I want to do. Ahhh! So, here I am, going solo on the show to tell you all about it.

Formulas are hard to argue with. Patterns and habits are challenging to break. And yet (!) most of us know that we want more for our creative work and our lives and businesses than we're letting ourselves have. This week, I'm bringing you behind the scenes of my own recent revelation about what was standing in my way of going all in on my big ideas and how I'm (hoping to!) shift my tide (there's webinar for that).

Ep. 187: How to Navigate Change...in Real Time Mar 27, 2018

Today I'm talking about how to deal with navigating change, and this episode is auto-biographical as I'm right in the midst of making some huge changes around my home life (hello, let's move states!).

I'll take you through the steps I'm using right now as I gingerly tread through this shift and try to stay sane in the process.

Want the cliff notes? Here are my 8 steps:

1. Remember why you want it.
2. Remember that you want it.
3. Let go of having answers that will appease other people's anxieties.
4. But create external accountability if that helps.
5. Self-care like whoa.
6. Sleep.
7. Say when it's hard.
8. Remember that you'll be so grateful for this experience someday.

Change is important, and it's hard. And we're all in it together.

+ what graduate school taught her about bouncing back from rejection
+ how to be unapologetically yourself
+ how to find your people and the right kind of support
+ how to develop a writing habit
+ the acceptance of anger
+ how to let go of what other people care and think

Oh, yes. Profound things happen when you let go of the need to keep other people comfortable at the detriment of yourself. Amen and hallelujah!

You'll hear us talk about:
+ how De'Ana went from police officer to model (and nope, she wasn't discovered at a mall!)
+ how to deal when listening to your intuition doesn't pay off immediately
+ why it's okay to want more for your life and creative work
+ how you can choose confidence and where to find it
+ ...and what to do if you aren't quite ready to make a shift.

Can you use your art as resistance, as a form of activism, or as a catalyst for social change? Yes, you can, and this week, I'm talking with Susan Celia Swan about how to do just that.

Susan is the Executive Director of V-Day, a global activist movement to end violence against women and girls that raises funds and awareness through benefit productions of Playwright/Founder Eve Ensler's The Vagina Monologues and other artistic works, and we had such an amazing conversation about what creative women can do to activate change in their local communities and on a global scale.

We also talked about what to do if you want to serve but aren't sure how to get started, the big impact tiny moves can create, and how to deal with the imperfection that can rise up when YOU want to rise up.

This conversation is important and powerful. We've all got big work to do. No pressure, hand raisers! And let's go.

Ep. 180: Tiff + Erin on Changing Your Mind and Shaking Things Up Feb 06, 2018

What happens when something that looks so good on paper stops working? And what do you do when that something involves someone you love?

This week, I'm talking with my biz-wife-for-life Erin Cassidy about how we're making moves away from the work that we spent most of 2017 building up and (more importantly!) why we're making that shift.

The big learnings:
You can love something and still let it go.
Your intuition often knows the truth before you're ready to say it out loud.
Your creative work is constantly evolving. Get out of your own way and let it.

Listen in to hear all about the changes we're making, what it's like to let go of things you worked super hard to build, and how we have all the nervous excitement for what's next!

Ep. 179: How to Deal When You're Mid-Leap (Or Contemplating The Jump!) Jan 30, 2018

Let's talk about the reality of making big shifts. Let's talk about what things really look like behind the scenes of change. Let's talk about the dark side of creative ambition and how it's so easy to let our drive take us to the brink of overwhelm...and how it's easy for that to become our normal.

This week's solo episode tackles those ideas with a few things that I want you to keep in mind as you undertake creative endeavors. Because, yes, you want big things for yourself. But it's easy to forget that those big things usually require big energetic outputs. And it's also easy to forget what's at the heart of all the things we're working so hard to achieve.

If you're mid-leap, this episode is for you. If you're contemplating a leap, this episode is for you. If you're tired of being tired and want to find more peace, ease, and flow, this episode is for you.

Enjoy, enjoy, and remember: you're doing great. You're not alone. Keep going.

In this episode, you'll hear about how perfectionism almost stopped Yulia from ever making Goldirocks real, how life stepped in once again to shake things up, and how the loss of the biggest opportunity of Yulia's operatic career led to her being able to write her book, collaborate with Anthropologie, and partner with Herbivore! (You'll also hear about how these partnerships came into her life magically.)

In our conversation, you'll hear about how Yulia went from successful-but-not-super-happy opera singer to being handed a big ol' stack of unexpected life changes to blowing up the internet with her gorgeous crystals. Except. We all know that paths like this are never as smooth as Instagram makes them seem, and this is especially true in Yulia's case.

She shares how she *really* got started, what happened when she finally started following her inner knowings, and how she ended up in Arizona with $4,000 worth of crystals in her trunk.

One year sober. Whoooa. In this bonus solo episode, I revisit my decision to quit drinking and reflect back on what I've learned through my own recovery journey over the past year. This episode is perfect for anyone who is pondering a change in their lives, whether it's around shifting your relationship with alcohol or not.

You'll hear me talk about how my consideration of the words "sobriety" and "recovery" have changed throughout the years, how I'm feeling about my decision to quit drinking and how I've been able to stay committed to my decision.

You'll also hear me share about why it's important to remember that there's no secret formula to success and that we all have to find our own way. This is key!

THANK YOU to everyone who has supported me in this decision and who's reached out to let me know that telling my story has made a difference to you. I'm going to keep doing it. Won't you do the same?

We also talk about how you can take your first steps towards changing habits and what to keep in mind if your life isn't currently feeling super kick-ass and what to do when challenges come up.

How often have you ignored your intuition only to find yourself following through on it months (or years!) later? This is the question I'm exploring this week as I share my guiding phrase for 2018: divine obedience.

You'll learn how I came up with this phrase, what I've already learned about it, and how I'm planning to apply it to my 2018. You'll also hear how it stems directly from my search for flow.

Let's do this 2018!

Ep. 172: Revisiting Flow - What I Learned in 2017 Dec 19, 2017

Oh, yes. Let's talk about flow. More specifically, let's revisit my word for 2017 and see how I fared in my quest to find flow.

Here's what I know - since January 1, I have produced the following creative content for my business:

275 email campaigns
208 Instagram posts
69 podcast episodes
10 live webinars
6 live speaking and teaching stints

And here's what else I know - there is no way I could have created that much content without having flow in my life.

So what led me to my need for flow and how can you get started in finding yours? Have a listen - you'll hear about my I-almost-missed-seeing-Hamilton wake-up call and the four components that are critical to help you find your flow.

Maybe 2018 is your year to flow? Like whoa? (Yeeeeees.)

Ep. 171: Alexandra Franzen on Surviving Hard Things Dec 12, 2017

How do you keep going when the going gets tough? What do you do when the worst-case scenario happens? How do you find your endurance and your devotion when challenges show up?

This week, I'm talking with writer Alexandra Franzen all about her new book You're Going to Survive as well as her own experiences with facing those seemingly-unsurvivable challenges.

You'll hear her favorite stories from the book, her thoughts on those horrible emails we all dread, and what she did after a bad yelp review sent her into a tailspin!

We all experience doubt in our creative work - this episode might be just what you need to reconnect to your grit!

Ep. 170: Jaimie Myers on Building Relationships (and the truth about social media!) Dec 05, 2017

Ah, social media! It's where we all love to connect and get inspired and show our work and the thing that's usually the cause of our comparison syndrome, overwhelm, and lack of fresh ideas.

So how do you deal? This week, I'm talking with Instagram expert and social media strategist Jaimie Myers about just that.

We cover what you want to pay attention to instead of the numbers, how to build relationships, and how to move beyond the picture perfect feeds you see everywhere.

We also talk about the strategies you might want to stay away from (and I share my own story of a day when I tried something that turned out to be super high on the ick factor) and how to get started if you're new at social media and/or overwhelmed by it all.

Oh! And you'll also hear Jaimie's top Instagram do's and don'ts - they're so good!

Ep. 169: Are you looking for the wrong thing? (And what to do with your doubt.) Nov 28, 2017

So many of us are striving for something bigger in our lives and creative work. We want to find success doing something that makes us come alive *and* that serves the world. (No pressure, right?)

And, it's so easy to fall prey to watching what everyone else is doing and wanting a piece of their picture instead of focusing on our own. (You aren't alone. We all do it.)

This week, I'm talking about how I think so many of us are focusing on the wrong thing in our creative longings and where you can look instead. My way feels a lot more fun and easy, so what's there to lose?

Oh! And the doubt. I'll also share my new favorite way for dealing with those inevitable doubts that show up in every moment!

Ep. 168: Laura McKowen on Finding your Bigger Yes Nov 21, 2017

I'm talking with Laura McKowen about finding your Bigger Yes for this week's episode of Raise Your Hand Say Yes. Because if you're going to raise your hand and say yes to something, you want to make sure it's what you really want, right? Right.

We also talk about what to do if you aren't sure what your bigger yes is, what we can all learn from those pesky truths that won't leave us alone, and how to know if you should power through on something that isn't quite working or when it's time to quit!

This episode was full of SO MANY gems (get the cliff notes and my top 5 highlights below) and might be just what you need to let go of those things that only look good on paper and move into what looks good in your heart.

We also talked about how she felt quitting her "looks good on paper" job to move to Uganda without a plan, what happened when she realized that she was building a business around things she *thought* she hated, and how many times she's been told no.

This week's solo show is all about what you can do when the worst-case scenario happens. I'm telling you a story that I haven't talked about publicly yet about a time, early in my career, when I asked someone for more money for some work I was doing and was promptly put in my place and told why I was completely wrong for asking for what I needed. Yeah. It was like that.

And while the experience itself sucked, I learned a TON which I'm sharing with you today! You'll also hear some reflections of my latest meditation retreat experience as well as the giant lightbulb moment I had recently about how I've been washing my face ALL WRONG. For my entire life! Bah!!

In this week's episode, you'll find out why she chose Bono, what she learned from him, and how it's made a difference in her creative work and life. You'll also hear us talk about how this fits into the Raise Your Hand Say Yes way of life in such a perfect way. Get excited, because this is a good one!

We talked about so much good stuff: embodiment, spirituality, business evolution, creative instincts, body acceptance, permission. All of it around how to move forward when you know there's something more for you.

And while it's easy to only think about evolution when you hit a place of burnout, it's actually critical to realize that - in creativity - we're all evolving all the time. So, yay! Evolution is exciting! Oh, and it happens whether we realize it or not, so let's all get in the driver's seat, eh?

Ah! Season 4 is here! I'm thrilled to be kicking us off with an interview with Laurie Wagner, an author and artist who also happens to be my writing teacher! Through her amazing Wild Writing method, Laurie helps writers tap into their truth and get to the heart of what they really want to say in this world. (Which is pretty much step one of living your Raise Your Hand Say Yes life!)

In this conversation, Laurie and I talk about telling the truth and what it has to do with leadership. You'll also hear her thoughts on getting vulnerable as an expert and teacher and why it's so critical. Oh, and we also dive into a discussion about drinking (and not drinking) and Jesus - and how interesting it is that both topics feel so controversial.

If you're interested in finding your voice and tapping into a deeper spiritual truth, this episode is for you!

I also share how this uncertainty has also trickled into my personal life with both a move to Colorado for us and my giving up drinking.

We know it about making soup, but we often forget it when it comes to our creative ideas: Letting things simmer is how the flavor develops.

In this week's episode, I'm talking about why it's so important to give your creative ideas the room they need to fully develop and what to do while you wait. Because, I promise: I'm just as impatient as you are!

I'll also share how to avoid letting your ideas simmer FOREVER and what you can do to start testing them and collecting data *during* the simmer!

Ep 151: The Inspired Part of Bold, Inspired Action Jul 25, 2017

Let's talk about bold, inspired action, but this week, I'm bringing in a new twist - instead of focusing on the bold, we're going to start with the inspired.

I'll tell you what I think it means to come from a truly inspired place, how you can find that place for yourself, and why naps are *definitely* a good idea! If you're ready to bring more fun, ease, and flow into your creative work, I've got you covered!

Ep 150: How to Make Space & 100 Days of Going Light Recap Jul 18, 2017

Okay, you know there are things you want to do with your creative work. But you also know that there are about a million different things vying for your attention? How do you make space to welcome in the things you really want?

This week, I'm talking about how to get started in making space for your big dreams as well as what I learned about business after I had my twins three years ago (which was right around the time that things started taking off for me...coincidence? I think not!). The key: focus on the big stuff. Let the rest fall away.

I also tie this into what I learned by my 100 Days of Going Light experiment about only doing the things that lit me up and focusing on that for 100 days. A lot changed. And change takes time. Patience helps a ton. Keep going.

Ep. 149: An Invitation to Flow (and Permission to Drop Those Old Stories!) Jul 12, 2017

Ooh let's talk about stories - namely: the stories that we decide are true that hold us back. Examples include: Tiffany talks too much or Tiffany isn't a good speaker. (Ahem, right.)

The problem with these stories that are often hold-overs from our youth is that we let them hold us back. We decide to use them as evidence against going after the things we want for our lives. They're conveniently placed right between us and our dreams.

And I say no more! This week, we dig into how those stories hold us back (and you'll hear a few of mine as examples) and what we need to do to move past them. You'll also hear WHY this is so important and what's possible for us if and when we decide to put ourselves back into the driver's seat!

What do you do when you have NO IDEA what you want to do? And even worse, how do you navigate a change when you feel like you might be eternally stuck in a sucky situation (whether it's a job or relationship or habit)?

This week's solo episode was prompted by an Instagram question asking me how to navigate utter stuckness, and my answers apply whether you're in a toxic situation or just want to make a change in your life but aren't *exactly* sure what that change should be.

Dive in and remember: change is a process. And things never move as quickly as we want them to. Keep going anyway. It's so worth it.

This week's guest is April Miller McMurtry of The Moon is My Calendar. I've known April for a few years and was so excited to get to talk with her about her work around using the cycles of the moon to aid in creative work (and, let's be honest: life).

April has a keen understanding of how the waxes and wanes of the moon can reflect the ebbs and flows of our energy on a day-to-day basis and takes the perspective that there is no one-size-fits-all formula for creative success (bingo!).

If you've ever wondered about the moon and what it all means to your life, listen in. Even if you're skeptical (I was too!), this episode will help you walk away with more grace for yourself and your natural habits and some techniques to help you move forward in embracing them as you keep on raising your hand and saying yes!

This week, I'm diving into the why behind choosing the word flow for my guiding word of 2017 and the reason why I've committed to 100 days of going light as a public project.

Ep. 137: Erin Cassidy on Taking Risks Apr 19, 2017

Exciting episode alert! I'm talking with RYHSY veteran Erin Cassidy all about taking risks...as we go behind the scenes of the debut of our new podcast How to be Remarkable!

In this episode, we dive deep into talk of creative risk, especially when it goes against the way you'd normally do things. Are you dreaming of starting a podcast but don't know how to balance that with your introverted tendencies? Listen in - cuz Erin has some great thoughts on that!

I was also excited to have this conversation right at the beginning of our new endeavor as it's easy to forget about the nervous + excited feeling of projects once you've gotten distance between yourself and the starting line.

Enjoy, enjoy and we'd love for you to also check out the new podcast - either online or on iTunes!

Ep. 136: Jessie Artigue on Shifting Seasons Apr 11, 2017

This week's episode is a deep dive into the reality of business change, following your dreams, and doing big scary things with Jessie Artigue of Style and Pepper as she's in the midst of launching her new clothing line Season on Kickstarter.

Before we started recording, Jessie told me that she wanted to get into the dirt of change and creative risk and so we went there! We talk about knowing you need to make a change - even when everything looks really good on paper, how to deal with anxiety, the problem with hustle, and what it's really like to run a very public kickstarter for something you've gone all in on (hello vulnerability!).

This episode is longer than usual, but it's because there was so much good stuff to discuss! Grab a cup of tea and get comfortable!

This week I got to have a wonderfully refreshing and honest conversation with writer and editor Bridget Watson Payne about her new books The Secret Art of Being a Grown-Up and How Art Can Make you Happy.

We talked about the best and hardest parts of being a grown-up, the intersections of creativity and enthusiasm and what to do with that pesky inner-critic of yours. We also dove into the creative process, political differences, and how to deal with rejection - especially if you have dreams of being published!

This week, we're diving into the archives to bring you a conversation with Alison Faulkner of The Alison Show - a listener favorite blast from the past - with a new reason to celebrate!

We talk about enthusiasm (and what to do when you aren't feeling it!), letting go of what other people might think, building a compelling brand, and how NOT to have a nervous breakdown. Alison has such a fresh perspective about all of this, and I suspect you'll be smitten with her 5 minutes in.

Finally, you'll get the scoop on what kinds of support networks carry her through and some of the digital ways she keeps her fine art business organized!

If you've considered walking away from a looks good on paper career or degree to raise your hand and say yes to something creative, this episode is for you! Oh, and if you're looking for a dose of empowerment, you'll get that too! You guys - welding is so badass!

My RYHSY Life: On Giving Up Alcohol Mar 10, 2017

I'm excited to unveil a new feature called My RYHSY Life. In these monthly-ish episodes, I'll be going behind the scenes of my own life and business to tell the in-real-time story of what I'm currently raising my hand and saying yes to.

I'm kicking the series off with the story of how and why I decided to give up drinking a couple of months ago, in what is becoming a permanent change in my life. I'll be sharing what led me to make the decision to dive into the dry life, what I kept telling myself about why I couldn't do so sooner, and what I've learned about myself, my relationship with alcohol, and my life since.

You'll also learn about the conversation I was afraid to have with my husband after I quit and the times I've been triggered to drink since. And not sure how my giving up drinking pertains to you and your creative quests? I'll fill you in on that too!

This week, I'm talking with physician-turned-spiritual-medicine-woman Vickie Lampkin about spiritual health, self-love and the question we all want answered: is it possible to be sane, healthy, and successful at the same time?

I am such a fan of Vickie and her work and I loved her take on self-care (you may be surprised!) and what she sees as the biggest roadblocks we creatives face as we try to make creative magic happen.

If you're looking to make a change in your life or are in the middle of one, this episode is for you! Likewise, if you're tired, burnt-out, or overrun by your ambition, you'll learn so much from this conversation.

Ep. 128: Maya Henry on Health Feb 14, 2017

This week, I got to talk with health coach Maya Henry about choices and mindsets and priorities. The conversation that I thought would be about practical and proactive tips on how we can break overwhelm and get healthy quickly became a conversation about how wellness and creativity are intrinsically linked - and how focusing on you health will actually make you more creatively alive.

I love Maya's no-bs and down-to-earth take on getting healthy (yes! you can still eat ice cream! no! you don't have to love kale!) and think this conversation is one that anyone who feels overwhelmed by life but is still seeking a change would benefit from.

We cover goal setting, intention setting, mindset shifts, and what happens when you *don't* make yourself a priority. You'll also hear over and over again how healthy and creativity are inter-related as well as my aha moment when Maya nails the perfect Raise Your Hand Say Yes venn diagram!

Bonus: Maya is offering all RYHSY listeners her free Happiness Meal Plan guide - it's so good, y'all. Grab your copy here!

Marta Spendowska is a Polish-born, US-based watercolor artist and professional illustrator (guys, her work is AMAZING!), and I was thrilled to get to talk with her for this week's podcast episode.

The theme of our conversation was change - how you recognize what you want, how you go about making things happen in your life, and what you need to be willing to let go of to move forward.

You'll get to hear me have lightbulb moments of my own that have stuck with me since the taping! If you're working towards creative goals (or are ready to make some magic happen but aren't sure how to get started!), this episode is for you!

Nikki Cade is a mixed-media artist and the founder of the Creative Brunch Series. I'm such a fan of her work and was so excited to get a chance to interview her this week.

Nikki is fairly new to the professional artist world, and it was great to get her perspective on how to grow a business and a following in this current digital age. She also busted some of every creative's favorite excuses, including not having enough time, not having enough space, not being able to find your voice, and not having a big enough following - showing that building your creative business takes dedication, grit, and generosity.

There's so much to learn from Nikki - I think you'll love our conversation!

Abstract artist Amira Rahim is on a mission to make the world a more colorful place. Her work is amazing, and her story is even more amazing. She started claiming her title as professional artist in her mid-20's and, in this episode, we talk about how she reinvented herself as an artist and the stories she had to rewrite in order to do so.

We also talk about how she embraced the bad paintings she knew she'd have to make as she worked on finding her voice, how her artistic voice is evolving even still, and how she balances creating art with the business of selling art.

There is something for everyone in this episode, whether you're ready for a reinvention or are trying to figure out how to juggle all the things as you define success for yourself!

We also talked about her new book, why she decided to focus on female trailblazers, and some of the surprising lessons she learned about "history" along the way.

If you're curious about what it takes to create a book like this, go back to art school as an adult, or rewrite (or reinterpret) stories, this episode is for you!

Lacy Young is a health coach, meditation retreat leader, and my personal wellness guru. As the founder and leader of Shift Retreats, Lacy has led dozens of people through the process of creating change in their lives, and today, she shares the secrets of what shifting your life *really* looks like.

Ep. 104: The Stories We Tell Ourselves Aug 30, 2016

I don't have time.

The circumstances aren't right.

I can't do it.

These are all stories we tell ourselves. Usually-false stories that we let hold us back from moving forward with our creative work. This week on the podcast, I'm diving into the truth behind the stories, giving you advice on what to focus on instead, and showing how I move through my own self-defeating stories.

If you're tired of thinking you don't have time or tired of not making your move or just-plain tired, this episode is for you!

Michelle Bablo is an event designer and the founder and Creative Director of Hell Yes Design Studio, and I was thrilled to talk with her for this week's episode of Raise Your Hand Say Yes.

Michelle's philosophy of "Fuck up and Win" speaks to my heart loud and clear and I loved hearing some of her behind-the-scenes stories of things that didn't go right and what she learned from those experiences!

We also talked about the power of creating your own career, how to stay authentic to your own voice (and why it's so critical in creative industries!), and what to do after you have your "did I just commit to that crazy thing?" freak out.

If you're someone who's ready to take some risks in your creative life and career, this episode is for you!

Ep. 102: Suzi Barrett on Trust and Doing the Work Aug 16, 2016

This week on Raise Your Hand Say Yes, I had the great fortune to get to sit down with writer Suzi Barrett, and our conversation is chock full of inspiration.

Suzi is the comic genius behindKnock Knocks Affirmators cards and the I Hate California series on funny or die, has appeared on “Drunk History,” “@Midnight,” “How I Met Your Mother,” and plays Kirby’s mom on on Disney XD’s show “Kirby Buckets.”

This episode is perfect for anyone who struggles with self-promotion (hint: just keep creating), has ever wondered what it takes to make something go viral (hint: just keep creating), has a hard time trusting their own voice (hint: just keep creating), or gets caught up in fear (hint: kick it in the nuts and just keep creating).

You'll also hear all about Suzi's philosophy of just be grass and how it's inspired this: “When I don’t feel like writing or when I don’t know if an idea is great, I write it anyway, because I’m trying to be grass.”

This week, I got to sit down with Jessica Morgan and Heather Cocks, the writers behind Go Fug Yourself and one of my favorite books The Royal We, for Raise Your Hand Say Yes.

In this episode, we go behind the scenes of what it's really like to run a super glam celebrity fashion website and write an amazing novel. (Hint: there's a lot of hard work involved. And diet cokes! And compression socks!) (Hint #2: Laughter helps a lot.)

You'll hear how Heather and Jessica have evolved their voices on Go Fug Yourself through the years, how they got The Royal We written collaboratively, what they learned from the earlier books they wrote, and their tips for anyone who's feeling shy about putting their work out into the world.

Aaaaaaannnnd welcome to Season 3 of Raise Your Hand Say Yes! I am thrilled to be kicking this season off with my 100th episode (!!) featuring the always-inspiring Dallas Clayton. (An aside: WHAT?! 100 episodes in and I'm getting to talk to my creative heroes? How cool is this gig?)

I've had Dallas on my interviewee-dream-list since the podcast launched and our conversation did not disappoint! We talked about what to do with political differences, how to have new experiences (even if you can't travel all the time), what to do about nerves, and even how to turn twitter into something you (gasp!) might love!

Ep. 98: Summertime Quickie - The Power of Keeping Things Simple Jul 19, 2016

It's easy to *understand* the need to keep things simple, but the execution of the concept is often a lot harder! Today on Raise Your Hand Say Yes I’m talking about how to *really* keep things simple and sharing a real-life example from my own biz (shoutout to Mailchimp!).

It's so easy to get caught up in the hype of new ways to do things, even if they aren’t quite right for you. And most of the time all that hype takes us away from the work we *really* want to be doing!

So if you need confirmation that you’re allowed to keep things simple, then this episode is for you!

Today on the podcast, I'm sharing what you can focus on instead.

Ep. 93: Summertime Quickie - It Doesn't Have to Make Sense Jun 14, 2016

This week's episode of Raise Your Hand Say Yes addresses the question of what to do when a creative idea "doesn't make sense."

Newsflash: Ideas don't have to make sense to the world. They only need to make sense to you.

Trust what you know, what you see, and how you want to put things together in your life. Even if – especially if – you’re doing something that no one has thought of before.

Congratulations, you’re an innovator. Get to work, you! The world needs it.

This week kicks off the RYHSY Summertime Quickie series!

If you feel like you’re always 5 steps behind and are constantly running to catch up, this episode is for you!

Want the cliff notes? Get started with these steps:

What can you get rid of now? Quick: think of three things that you do regularly that drive you crazy…what do you need to do today to get them out of your life? (Choose a strategy: delegate, eliminate, or change)
Learn to say no. Remember that by saying no to one thing, you are saying yes to another: yourself. Give yourself the time and space to focus on what’s most important to you
What makes you feel alive? If you’re life is filled to the brim with the good, there’s no room for the AWESOME to come in. Make some space, see what happens.

Enjoy!

I was so excited this week to chat with Emilie Wapnick of Puttylike for this week's episode of Raise Your Hand Say Yes. We talked all about being what Emilie likes to call a “Multipotentialite”. Newsflash: there is nothing wrong with having a lot of passions and interests (and Emilie has created an entire business around serving a community of multi-passionate people).

We talked about how to get the right kind of support for your varied interests, and different ways to think about multi-passionatism. We also talked about incorporating your many interests into being an entrepreneur (and how sometimes it's okay not to!).

Ep. 80: Sarah Von Bargen on Choices Mar 15, 2016

I loved talking with Sarah Von Bargen of Yes and Yes for this week's episode of Raise Your Hand Say Yes. We talked about the choices behind giving yourself space to say yes, how to ask the hard questions, staying productive when you work on so many different kinds of things, and the mistakes Sarah sees so many people making online - maybe you're guilty too? (I certainly am!)

Ep. 79: Kristen Ley on Faith and Hustle Mar 09, 2016

This week, I had the good fortune of interviewing Kristen Ley of Thimblepress for Raise Your Hand Say Yes and our conversation was one of my favorites! Kristen's story is the epitome of my raise your hand and say yes philosophy, and it was so inspiring to hear about how she built her business in just a few years by taking risks and keeping her eye on the prize.

In this episode, we also talk about the power of both faith and hustle and how you can keep going when you're trying to juggle a million different things. Kristen also offered up wonderful advice to anyone who's wanting to get started with a business of their own, especially if you're nervous about marketing!

The truth: entrepreneurship isn't the shiny, easily-forged path that social media makes it out to be. In this week's solo episode of Raise Your Hand Say Yes, I'm sharing my entrepreneurial story and how I got from being a life coach who helped people live their "happiest, most sparkly lives" to a business and branding coach for the highly-creative woman.

Cyndie Spiegel is back for this week's episode of Raise Your Hand Say Yes and our conversation was awesome! This week's episode stemmed from a skype conversation Cyndie and I had about rewriting the rules of being a business coach and I think you're going to love it!

Ep. 75: Anne Sage on Balance Feb 10, 2016

This week on Raise Your Hand Say Yes I got to sit down with writer Anne Sage to talk about everything associated with balancing your online life with your personal life. We talk about when what you share is too much, how to navigate sometimes painful changes while being a "public" figure, what story social media and the internet is telling, and learning how to make the kind choice for yourself.

This episode was chock full of nuggets - I filled over four pages with notes! (Get your Cheat Sheet here!)

Ep. 74: Sarah Deragon on Bold Moves Feb 03, 2016

Ah! I'm so excited to be talking with Sarah Deragon for this week's episode of Raise Your Hand Say Yes. Sarah is one of my favorite creative business ladies and I can't believe it took me this long to have her on the show! Not only has Sarah built Portraits to the People, her Identity Project has changed the lives of people all over the world! Pssst...Northern California peeps, Sarah recently moved up to wine country in case you need a North Bay photographer!

This week, we talk all about Sarah's journey in her creative business which she started in 2012 and the different side projects she's pursued during the building of Portraits to the People. We also talk about the truth behind the stories social media tells and the power of shifting your focus so that you stay connected to the work you're doing. We also talk about creative slumps and the cycles that creative businesses go through.

If you ever find yourself struggling with how to evolve your creative work or define yourself or just stay focused on your own work instead of everyone else's, this message is for you!

Ep. 72: Resolutions Series: Stasia Savasuk on Personal Style Jan 20, 2016

Oh man, you guys. I LOVE Stasia Savasuk and was thrilled to get to talk with her for this week's episode of Raise Your Hand Say Yes. Stasia is my personal style guru and her counsel has made a huge difference in how I approach getting dressed every morning! In this episode, we talk about Stasia's journey to becoming a badass style rockstar and how we all can find our own personal styles (no matter what your body shape or budget is!).

We also talk about the power style can have on your life, what to do when your pants don't fit, and why having fewer clothes in your closet can be a VERY good thing. If you've felt the calling to feel good in your clothes and want to make 2016 the year that you shine, this episode is for you!

This episode is sponsored by Mazuma USA, a book-keeping and accounting firm for small businesses. If you’re tired of struggling with your business accounting, Mazuma will change everything. I adore working with them!

Ep. 71: Resolutions Series: Amy Robles on Money Jan 13, 2016

Ah, money! This week, I'm continuing my New Year's Resolution series on Raise Your Hand Say Yes and am talking with Amy Robles all about money! Amy is a former client who not only turned her own money story around by getting rid of debt (she'll tell you how today!) but also now works as a money coach and educator. And she's whip-smart and REAL. Because we don't need any more money lectures, do we? (Nope.)

In this episode, we discuss the importance of getting your money house in order (hint: it has waaaaay more to do with your life than money!) and Amy's three simple steps to get started. Are you ready to figure out your money stuff or get out of debt and actually have a savings account in 2016? This episode is for you!

After you listen, be sure to enter the great notebook giveaway over on Instagram too! (And if you have notebooks of your own to pass along, play along!)

Ep. 70: Resolutions Series: Lacy Young on Health and Wellness Jan 06, 2016

Welcome to 2016! This year, I'm starting off with a new series on Raise Your Hand Say Yes all about New Year's Resolutions. Do you start every year thinking you're going to deal with your health and money and (finally!) clean out your closet? If so, you're in for a treat this month! And if not, you're still in for a treat because these upcoming episodes are gooooood!

This week, I got to sit down with one of my favorite people on the planet, Lacy Young and talk all about health and wellness and what to do if you want to be healthier. Lacy's advice is spot on while also being super reasonable and I know you'll be able to walk away from this conversation with at least a couple of things you can start doing today to get healthier and feel better in your body.

We also talk about how you can tell the difference between what you really want for your body versus what the magazines say you should want, the value of putting yourself in the way of empowerment, and a beginner's guide to meditating. Lacy also shares what she experienced in the beginning of her own journey to get healthy, and I'm sure we can all relate. Be warned: by listening to this episode, all of your excuses about why you can't eat better or meditate will go out the window!

p. 49: Todd Henry on Finding your Authentic Voice Aug 05, 2015

This week on Raise Your Hand Say Yes, I got to sit down and talk with Todd Henry, author of The Accidental Creative and Die Empty, about his new book (out next week! See below for the pre-order special!) Louder Than Words: Harness the Power of your Authentic Voice.

Authenticity is such a buzzword these days that people talk about it all the time but everyone has a hard time putting their finger on HOW to get there. We all know it when we see it, but what are the steps you and I can take to find and hone our authenticity? In this week.s episode, Todd tells us all about authenticity and how we can get started on finding ours. We also talk about the value of building a body of work, how to keep your eyes on your own paper, the power of making a decision and taking action, why we should all craft a manifesto, and what we can all learn from a good underdog story.

Along the way, Todd shares what he's learned about creating content as a profession and how he balances his busy work schedule with making his family and three kids a priority. I think this episode will speak to everyone and I hope you enjoy it!

Todd, thank you so much for sharing your wisdom on the podcast!
