Creative expression helps us tap into flow state, which opens the floodgates to inspiration and opportunity. It also helps us feel more connected to our selves, which allows us to feel more connected to others...and so much of career success is tied to interpersonal skills. 

In this episode, Jayme walks through the timeline of her professional career growth (4 promotions and significant pay bumps over a 7-year period), and how her workplace success correlated to immersing herself in different passion projects outside of work. 

She talks about why having passion projects and expressing yourself creatively will help you grow professionally and feel better in your career. She also shares some tips to help you get started on your creative expression path.

Jennifer O'Brien is an artist and advocate for dialogue about end of life. Her book, The Hospice Doctor's Widow, is a personal exploration of both. Jennifer began journaling and creating the collages and tableaus during her husband’s illness as a form of self care, and her book was born of this work.

In this episode, Jennifer shares more about the story behind the creation of her book and what it means to her to transform pain into purpose. She also talks about helping others after healing, and how you and your loved ones can be prepared for life's biggest event (death). She shares why it's so important to talk about death, and also what it means to make use of precious time with the ones you love.

Most life hacks or “get results quick!” trends are immature. Even many of the buzz words used in the personal development space have undertones of immaturity.

In the first half of this episode, Jayme takes six Personal Development buzzwords and breaks down how they look when paired with maturity vs. immaturity (growth, ambition, authenticity, goals, consistency, and transformation).

Chasing life hacks or "get results quick!" trends not only creates a cycle of dissatisfaction with what is, it also tends to do the opposite of the promise: the chase ADDS time to the journey.

In the second half of this episode, Jayme talks about how to let go of the chase and instead, get better, longer-lasting results.

Sometimes, things go terribly wrong. Emotional intelligence helps us make mature decisions, get curious about what’s happening, and stay the course, even when sh*t hits the fan. Folks with high EQ are going to handle adversity with a high level of self-awareness and healthy self-management.

On the other hand, individuals with low EQ tend to be much less skilled when it comes to self-awareness and self-management. In a crisis, low EQ manifests as panic, despair, blame, and/or resistance to change.

Here's the good news: Emotional Intelligence is a skill set that can be learned and developed over time...for anyone!

If you're thinking something along the lines of, “F**k you, Jayme - of course I don’t like pain and when sh*t hits the fan, I want out as quickly as possible. That doesn’t mean I have low EQ,” this episode will be helpful to everyone, but especially anyone with this thought.

THE GOAL ISN’T TO DESIRE ADVERSITY. THE GOAL IS TO BE WILLING TO EXPERIENCE IT. So how do we get there? Tune into this episode for more!
