Breathe Into Business

After reading the book Profit First, I got super jazzed about using the same theories in the self-care work/life balance arena. Today's episode shares my insights.

Romeny Chan is a multidisciplinary creative and an avid traveler. I've always admired her ability to prioritize travel while still being her own boss and a badass mother. Today on the show we chat about how getting out of your head/office/etc and going out on the road is good for your soul and your business.

Sometimes you find yourself in a business boom - a constant state of growth and hustle. The key to not burning out during those times is to balance them out with times of flow and ease - letting your systems run as they're meant to so you can have more freedom. In today's show, I'm talking to Jessie Artigue from Style + Pepper about these seasons of hustle and seasons of flow. We also chat about the concept of baseline health and Jessie share's some of her favorite healthy travel tips!

Sometimes our ability to speak up about what we need to care for ourselves is hindered by our inability to know, own, and speak our own stories. Today on the podcast I'm chatting with Dr. Liz Garcia, a life + leadership + storytelling coach. We chat about owning our stories, the tools she uses in her own self-care practice, and we even scratch the surface of her work with curanderismo.

It's almost the full moon - which couldn't be more perfect since I first got to know Sarah through her Many Moons workbook project. In this episode we chat about how to dive into spiritual work and define it for yourself, what it means to work with the moon, caring for others / the collective by taking care of your self-care needs first and we even get a bit political!

What if using self-care as a preventative isn't possible because you're already dealing with burnout? In today's episode we talk about exactly that. Stephanie Gilbert from Small Talk Social and The Gram Gang joins me to talk about her burnout story, finding rituals to transition from work to home life when you work from home, how to start taking things off your plate as a business owner, plus other great topics.

Jumping off the themes talked about in the episode with Portia Wilson, I invite you all to work on building your own self-care toolboxes.

In this episode I chat with fellow acupuncturist, Portia Wilson. We talk about Portia’s grab-bag of self-care practices, the simplicity of self-care + setting the tone for the day, deepening your breath as a form and indicator of self-care, self-care for business owners who weren’t necessarily drawn to business, and how to include community in a healing practice.

This week I chat with Cathlin Walker, a holistic health coach who helps women feel at home in their bodies. We talk about self-care as service industry professionals, connecting to your intuition, the overlap of healthcare and self-care, DIY herbalism, and how to find enjoyment in food.

In this episode, I talk with Low, a Minneapolis cyclist and pickle maker. We talk about self-care as a consumerist movement vs. self-care as a political act. Low shares their views on preparing food as a way of self-care, meditation, and form of expressing love. They also share some great tips for beginner cyclists and how they use visualization as part of their self-care practice.
