Business is Human

I met Kerry Rossow in 2014 when we did a Listen to Your Mother show in Indianapolis.  We had written orginal pieces and been chosen to read them in a beautiful theater to a loving crowd on Mother's Day weekend. 

How amazing that I'm not hosting my own Stand Tall in Your Story show on March 5th in a beautiful theater for the women of Rise and Thrive Indianapolis to share their stories. 

AND, Kerry went on to found a show,The She Said Project.  Some of us are just meant to write and tell our stories.  Kerry and I are sisters in stories. 

The day I met her I wanted her to be my sister or my neighbor or somehow in my life!  

You'll love this one, try not to spit out your coffee, she's a funny one!

Striving vs Thriving

1. We're all a little afraid 

2. Our uniqueness is our superpower

3. Nobody thrives alone.

Jenny Tod has two businesses and a rich life outside of work as a wife and mom to a toddler.... and she's thriving. 

Jenny is a marketer, designer doing brand and marketing work with Jenny Tod Creative.  She also is a co-founder of a coffee shop, Indie Coffee Roasters located in Carmel, Indiana.  

Oh, and she's a wife and mom to a toddler! 

She chose a life that caterers to her unique gifts and talents and allows the margin she needs to invest in personal pursuits and relationships. 

Jenny is a great example of living life "intentionally". This is thriving!  She's building a story and a life holistically.  

"There's a big difference in falling in bed at night exhausted from striving versus falling into bed exhausted from thriving. "

Rebecca Fleetwood Hession

Jenny has worked for agencies and other businesses and learned so much about herself and her craft. 

Key Takeaway: She didn't have to do it all as a business owner, she could bring on people that complimented her gifts and talents. She knows what she's good at and what others need to do for the business to be successful.  Even outsourcing cleaning her house allows her to be a better mom and business owner! 

Key Takeaway: Don't rob someone else the joy of helping! This is how we bless each other!  Learn to accept help as a gift not a weakness. 

Key Takeaway: Self Care isn't just a buzz word, it's critical to our ability to perform in all the roles of our lives. 

Key Takeaway: Showcasing our passions and our work for our kids is important.

I love someone with big plans, big dreams, setting all of the intentions!  Buy the planner, write the goals and the vision, yes and yes! 

And ......  what happens when we don't make progress?  What's holding us back?

Eliza Kingsford and I discuss the power of removing the blocks that keep us stuck instead of just writing or posting another resolution or habit you swear this year you'll stick to and don't. 

If a healthier you is something you desire, buy Eliza's book!

I'm a sucker for anyone that wants to bring humanity back to front and center of their profession.  This is exactly what Russell Davis, master mixologist and Bartender of the Year plans to do in his current tour.  Russell is traveling the world, teaching the trade of bartending and the role of hospitality to further humanity.  

This is a great listen full of history of hospitality, a walk through spirituality and the advantages women have in bartending. 

Enjoy!
