I Hardly Know Her!

Well, the IHKH podcast is one year old. Happy Anniversary! This episode became a surprisingly emotional verbal processing about what time means to me. It’s our most valuable, yet un-renewable resource and that both excites and frightens me. See if you can tell why as you audibly wade through a jumble of my thoughts.

5 of my super cool friends joined me for a virtual book club through a Zoom call to share a favorite book that has helped with personal development. There’s something really sexy about collaborating in the space of personal growth. I hope you pick up a helpful thought or two.

It’s so important to focus on wellness, peace, hope, and self-awareness when we are faced with things in life that seem OUT OF CONTROL. Listen in as I interview three guests who share their stories, insight, and industry experience to help us take a pause and be empowered through trying times by focusing on WELLNESS of Mind, Body, and Spirit. Angela London of London Wellness Solutions, Carlie Young of Heart & Core Training Studio, and Brooke Lacey, creator of the “Disrupting Stigma” podcast.

This episode is a recap of the processes I’ve been putting myself through in order to laser focus on the things I love doing most in my career. Enjoy a trip down metaphor lane as I compare life to amusement parks, and then unpack 4 specific topics of (self)advice I’d been smacked in the face with during a 48-hour time period recently.

I recently took some time to ponder on ROOTS - in a variety of meanings which spurred some thoughts about the growth that we are entitled to as human beings. I love personal growth and am constantly seeking ways to improve myself by stepping into what feels the truest, most genuine version of ME! I wish that for everyone. Thanks for listening into this episode. And I hope you like awkward musical numbers mixed into your podcasting bc that’s what you’re getting. Especially for those of you who listen to pods at double speed like I do. 💁🏼‍♀️

I’m happy to say that because of my irritatingly high levels of silver-lining perspectives, I can always find valuable take-aways from every experience I’ve invested time into - particularly with things that maaaaaay not have been the best use of my time and talents. Embarking into Multi-Level Marketing/Network Marketing/Pyramid Schemes (or whatever you want to call them) proved to be an area of some now-helpful-to-recall lessons.

It finally happened! My friend, Brooke Lacey & I got together to record a swapcast between the I Hardly Know Her and Mental Wellness life podcasts! In it, we discuss ways to positively move through life by accepting the messy human inside us all and to reinforce that Mental Health should be open dialogue (because everyone either has a Mental Health issue or knows/loves someone who does.) And it doesn’t have to be a negative thing in our professional lives. We can be the MOST productive when we live in a positive “Yes, And” mindset, embrace honesty, and lead with love.

I sat down with my ImproVideo partner, and top selling Amazon Author - JennyQ - to talk about the benefits of collaborating with the right people to build even bigger dreams than you might have ever been able to on your own.

One of the tools I teach in improv workshops is to suspend judgment. Life is meant to be fun, and filled with bold choices that are uniquely ours, which can be hard to do when we are feeling judged by others OR WORSE, when we are so critical of ourselves that we filter our true selves too much. I’d never say to STOP judgment - we are human! I will encourage you to SUSPEND it before acting any time it’s possible, however.

Occasionally, due to my fast paced lifestyle, I can sense when the dreaded “burnout” is on the horizon. I take my health and mental care very seriously tho, and make sure to tend to my needs in various ways to stay on top of my BEST LIFE, which is currently in progress.
