Today on the podcast I'm sharing a new idea that I've been playing around with in my own life, and I've been seeing it crop up in the lives of people around me as well! It's the concept of noticing your behaviour, and paying attention to what kinds of signals it has to share with us about how we may *really* be feeling about something, or what decision might be best for us in any given moment. It can be tricky to "listen to our intuition", so this idea has been super helpful in giving myself wha...

This week on the show I'm going into a bit more detail about the new daily habit that I am trying to form! I'm discussing the "why" for the new habit, how I'm motivating myself to work towards it, and how I'm setting up structures to help myself be "successful" with my habit on a daily basis. So far it's been going well, and I think it's because I'm using certain strategies that I know will work well for me. Tune in to hear more about some ways to set yourself up for success with any new habits ...

Today on the show I'm talking about the idea of being less precious with our creative work! How do we do it? I think the answer is giving ourselves a better structure for getting it done and then commit to showing up at a frequency that allows us to be less obsessive and perfectionistic over every single piece of work that we put out into the world. So in this episode, I'm sharing these ideas and a few examples of how I'm inspired to be less precious with my own creative work. See shownotes for ...

On today's episode, I'm revisiting a topic that I recently talked about over on Instagram: the things I try to remember when I'm having a slow, sluggish, unproductive kind of day. I review all the ideas that I use to try to cope with feeling down, and I also share ideas I sourced from other people about how they deal with a slow day. This episode is a note to self for the next time I'm feeling kind of "bleh" and I hope some of these ideas resonate with you too! See shownotes for this episode at ...

On the show today I'm talking about motivation – specifically, the difference between intrinsic and extrinsic motivation, and why it matters. I'm also sharing thoughts on how we never know who is listening or resonating with what we share, why that's okay, and why it's our responsibility to do the work anyways. Happy listening & thank you so much for being along ...

This week on the podcast, I'm talking about how I try to use the concept of conducting experiments as a way to explore new ideas for my life and business. Instead of trying to figure everything out beforehand, there's so much freedom in the idea that we can figure it out as we go along, and that the end result will actually end up being even better as a result!

This week on the podcast I'm talking about one of my favourite reframes (borrowed from the greats, Oprah Winfrey and Byron Katie): the idea that things happen for me, not to me.
