As we wrap up this month’s discussion topic around GROUNDING, we’re exploring how grounding relates to your business.

Whether you have a side hustle, passion project, or full time business - creating a solid foundation for your work is essential. Your foundation will determine how you grow 🌿 

Listen in for 3 ways to grow your biz from a grounded place. 

How do you cope when you’ve worked too much, given too much, and are just EXHAUSTED? Unconsciously, most of us go from one extreme to another: overworking to numbing. We choose to disconnect with TV, food, and scrolling on our phones for hours on end. 

If you’ve ever been there, you’re not alone. This week's Ambition + Mischief podcast episode is for you if:

• You’re overwhelmed by your goals and projects 
• Revert to unhealthy coping practices (like food, TV + technology)
• You want to explore healthier + more mindful ways of giving + grounding 

 Listen to this Ambition + Mischief podcast episode to explore:

• What’s the difference between grounding vs. numbing?
• How does numbing show up for you in work, relationships and spirituality? 
• What are healthy + mindful ways to ground down, rest + prioritize rest?

Remember to tune in until the end for a handful of introspective questions.

If you identify with being a rebel (or being called one!), this week's Ambition + Mischief podcast episode is for you. While there are plenty of benefits to being a rebel 😈 there are also some drawbacks. 

How is your inner rebel keeping you back from the life you actually want to live? 

Join host Sam Cartagena as she explores how her own inner rebel has been self destructive, and offers some introspective questions for you to reflect on your own inner rebel, including:  

• How do you know when your rebel without a cause has shown up?
• How can you remind yourself to choose the rebel WITH a cause rather than the rebel without a cause?
• Why is it important for you to live from this place to live fighting for something rather than fighting against it?

Before we can flourish, it’s important that we make sure we’re grounded. After all, how can we truly grow if the foundation we’re growing from isn’t nourishing? 

That’s what we’re exploring today on the Ambition + Mischief podcast. Take a listen and if it resonates, please take a second to leave a rating or review 🖤 

This week’s introspective questions are:

• What are your grounding practices?
• Are you seeking a deeper connection with spirituality, with the dream world, with the things that are intangible about life?
• If so, do you feel steady and protected and safe in your physical body? If not, what are some practices you can implement to do so?

Today is officially my first day back in the "real world" after having spent more than a week in Guatemala with Mayan elders. I'm still processing everything that I've learned over the past few days. But in the meantime, I wanted to share one of the most powerful messages that I'm taking away: 

Fire doesn't have to be feared; it can be sacred. Your inner fire doesn't have to be destructive; it can be healing. And the more powerfully you show up in the world, the more you invite others to do the same. 🔥

More to come. 
With love,
Sam

Possibility is not something most people think about too often, but we should. Our relationship to possibility is an essential piece to how we show up in life + business. How do you know if your vision is actually possible?

In this episode, we'll explore the 3 phases of possibility. I'll tell you about my own journey in building Ambition + Mischief, and how each phase of possibility showed up for me. Plus, stick around until the end for introspective questions that will help you examine your own relationship to possibility.

Let’s talk about confidence. We typically think about confidence from an external perspective -- how we show up in the world and how others perceive us. But what does it look like to create confidence internally? In this week’s episode, we’re looking at one simple way we can be more confident, especially when trying new things. 

With love,

I'm officially on the other side of a year-long coaching training program! I'm walking away from the experience as certified Ontological Coach, but beyond the certifications, there are plenty of life-changing things I've learned along the way. One of those things is the concept of fighting for something, rather than just fighting against something. 

If you're passionate and ambitious like I am, I think you'll enjoy this episode as it takes a look at how to use your warrior energy for good. 

With love,
Sam
