39. Q4 Thoughts: My current approach to avoiding burnout while growing my career Oct 12, 2023

Show notes

Hi fam! I wanted to create this episode before we get too far into the holiday season as a little insurance for your headspace. I get into what burnout is, how to overexpose yourself to your calendar in order to normalize "busy" and offer tips to continue growing while cutting back on overwhelm -- It's a fine line.

Show notes

In today's episode I go over my discoveries in a recent journaling meditation in preparation for this episode all around self-doubt. I get into what causes self-doubt but maybe more importantly, what creates self-confidence (to me, the opposite of self-doubt). I also share some recent, very helpful tools and tips to assist you in moving through this season of life as well.

In this episode, I update you on how I snapped out of my recent downturn and am now, thankfully, as you'll hear, buzzing around town. It's been a commitment to myself and a commitment to a daily practice. I also share my current reads/recs in rotation for mindset maintenance, how I choose to rotate through what I read each morning (this part is important) and how you can step into this energy yourself -- All it takes is the decision to begin.

34. Recognizing the energy of Inviting VS. Bringing, Opening up to Support & Building Trust between you and you Aug 24, 2023

Show notes

In this episode, I give you a really beautiful journaling prompt (that I found in my Superhuman meditation the morning I recorded... I know… I'm sorry, the app is just so vital to my day! My life! I can't make this stuff up. This wasn't planned. Promise.)

We will discuss the energy & importance of the words Inviting VS. Bringing and how this language can impact our approach to life. How are living with and open invitation rather than shouldering all of your success solo?

Let me know if you stick to the 2-week or 30 day challenge with the daily journaling prompt & tag me on IG in your stories! I'll be doing this along with you and can't wait to hear how transformative this experience is for you.

33. When to phone a friend, Summertime Sadness & catching up with AJ Aug 23, 2023

Show notes

Hi my friend! In this episode I discuss where I've been hiding the last few weeks, what's been going on with my headspace, providing helpful insight for anyone else going through the Rosies (or that is my hope, anyway). I also get into how important real life conversations are with other creatives and I dare you to pick up the telephone. Oh and of course... I get into a little convo about meditating. But what else is new?

32. Art is basically science, learning to take risks with your work & doing MORE Aug 03, 2023

Show notes

Listen, I'm not trained in public speaking but I'm definitely making Einstein proud with this episode. So that's gotta count for something. This episode ranges from art being a science, us as creatives needing to push our 'scary' thoughts out & onto the canvas and so many other little tangents that I know SOMEONE out there needs to hear. Happy listening.
