Design Yourself

We choose how to shape and give meaning to our lives. It seems simple enough. Make a choice each and every day to align with what matters. But it is not always that easy. How do you balance the short and the long-term priorities? How do you shift long-held routines that involve other people? We get into these questions and more as we discuss reimagining routines.

Being able to redirect your path is a unique skill. Often we summon so much energy to set a direction in the first place that it can feel particularly hard to pivot. The more momentum we have behind us, the more force we need to bring with us to create a change. But that force doesn't have to come with a bang. We can spark transformation through deep attention to what's true right now - through presencing.

In this episode of Design Yourself, we begin by creating a shared understanding of what it means to presence. We expand our discussion by exploring three simple ways to practice this way of being. Finally, we close things out by investigating how presencing showed up in a backpacking adventure in the wilds of the Adirondack mountains.

Our working partnerships define how we move through our professional and personal lives. The movement can be heavy with mistrust, judgment, and frustration. It can also be ease-filled, characterized by aligned expectations, clear communication, and mutual accountability. Achieving goals rarely happens in isolation, and the division of labor is rarely 50-50.

In this episode, we reflect together on the critical working relationships in your life and how you can bring more ease and impact to the way you work together.

Fashion is a creative playground. Every new day offers a chance to express yourself. How has your style evolved? What are opportunities to honor who you are and the cultures where you show up?

Join us in this episode of Design Yourself to reflect on these questions together.

"Fashion you can buy, but style you possess. The key to style is learning who you are, which takes years. There's no how-to road map to style. It's about self expression and, above all, attitude." – Iris Apfel

In this episode of Design Yourself, we explore six lessons we can take in from our own backyards as we talk about delighting in small wins and other lessons from the garden.

Our time on this planet is absurdly brief. Our gifts and perspectives are uniquely our own. Being intentional about where we gift our talents and attention is critical to leading a life of intention.

As we step into the second half of 2023, it is a natural moment to check in and take stock on how we are doing - and also a chance to reset our intentions and focus. Join Sharon as she reflects on five questions to prompt your best thinking on how things are going and what shifts you might like to call in as you step into the second half of the year.

Translating what we think and feel on the inside to the outside world isn't always easy. It requires us to discern our point of view and find the words and voice to share them with authenticity. It also asks us to consider the people and environments where we are communicating that message. What do I want to say? And how can I draw that out of myself? In this episode of Design Yourself, we explore how to find your message by writing it down.
