I MIGHT CRY

In this episode, Elizabeth and Emma dive into how creativity can thrive most when we are at peace. This soulful, honest conversation discusses how showing up imperfectly allows you to be vulnerable and alive, and magnetically draws in like-minded clients as well. 

Both women find goodness in the “stretchy” part of growth in business. By being a co-collaborator with your clients and audience, and being open to feedback, everything can come together for maximum growth, creativity, and potential. 

After joining the conversation, you’ll leave knowing that breathing life into your business is really all about doing things your own way.

Having a business for more than two decades, Elizabeth and David are normalizing difficult situations in business and discussing the good that can come from experiencing them. We all receive negative feedback and encounter dissatisfied customers every now and again, but how you respond to them is what can either keep you stuck, or help you grow as a business owner. 

If you choose to focus consciously or subconsciously on the one negative experience, giving it a lot of attention and energy, it can dilute all of the other beautiful experiences and happy clients you have far more of. In this conversation, Elizabeth and David encourage you to take a pause, think through how you want to respond and realize that we all just want to be seen and heard. If you go into a difficult situation with this in mind, what could come from it is more understanding and change for the better.

Elizabeth chats with Madison Dalmaso, a 7-figure high performance lifestyle and business mentor, who studied under the renowned Bob Proctor, learning about the Law of Attraction.Madison explains that we are all vibrational beings who are constantly in motion. And because we are in motion, we exist on frequencies. If we can learn how to tap into a different frequency, where our biggest dreams and desires live, we can change our own vibration and ultimately attract and achieve what we want most. Tune in to listen to this conversation about what manifestation really is, and learn how you can use it in your life to grow your business, increase your wealth, and find more fulfillment.

In this episode, Elizabeth sits in the guest seat while being interviewed by her husband, David, the lead videographer at Almond Leaf Studios. In this playful, heart felt conversation between the two, David asks Elizabeth some big questions about some of the changes she’s been making in her mindset, business, and life. 

Tune in to discover the big question he surprised her with, and how they unpack the meaning and understandings of some big terms being used in the industry.

In this solo episode, Elizabeth sheds light on the high risk the event industry is in for burnout. With a bit of her own experience sprinkled in, she shares interesting research about the neuroscience of burnout - what happens physically in your brain when you reach burnout.

In this special episode, Elizabeth walks us through her go-to exercise that aids in moving through overwhelm during stressful times. “Tapping”, officially called EFT Emotional Freedom Technique, is a very practical tool you can use when you’re feeling anxious, short of breath, or deep shallow breaths. This exercise can bring an amazing amount of clarity into what you need to accomplish, and help prioritize what’s most important to you. You can expect to feel a shift of some sort happening. That shift is your neuro pathways actually beginning to change and transform so you can clear your mind, open your heart, and feel good in your body. Join us for this tapping exercise and see what it can do for you!

In this episode, guest Yogi Bryan shares his experience of moving beyond the yoga mat into a consistent meditation practice that has transformed his life. Together, he and Elizabeth redefine the common understanding of hypnosis. Because  hypnotherapy digs into the subconscious mind, consistent practice of energy shedding and healing  allows a compound effect of providing inspiration, clarity, motivation, and ideas. The more you do, the more layers you shed.

At the end of this episode, Yogi Bryan takes us through a relaxing meditation session to help move any stuck energy. Tune in for a free session!

Elizabeth and Acupuncturist Kerry Goodwin discuss the benefits of Chinese medicine and its approach of focusing on the whole being. In her own practice, Kerry focuses on women’s health, particularly fertility and pregnancy. Her holistic approach and focus on herbal medicine takes the treatment beyond the treatment room. Both Elizabeth and Kerry discuss the importance of showing up authentically in our lives, focusing on overall health, and how it will ultimately extend into business as well.  To get there, Kerry suggests creating boundaries around our health including best sleep practices, food preparation, and giving ourselves grace in the process.

Elizabeth and Eatherley dive deep into what inspires them in their own craft; how they keep that creative inspiration alive; and how they have overcome limiting beliefs in their businesses. 

Both have physically and creatively demanding careers and in the early years, got caught up in hustle culture that consumes the wedding industry. Learning how to work through challenges, getting the ego in check, and surrounding themselves with support has allowed them to work through the fear that comes with solopreneurship. Growing a capable team and being able to step back and trust the ebbs and flows of business has given them a community, more success, and the freedom they have always dreamed of.

About Eatherley:

Eatherley Schultz is the owner and head of operations at Floressence. She comes from a line of women, including her mother and grandmother, who found beauty and kinship in the garden space. Eatherley grew up in Birmingham, Alabama where her early love of gardening and horticulture eventually took her to central California where she studied agroecology and farming.

As a farmer, she grew organic vegetables and cut flower and later added landscape design to her skillset, a field that would influence her work and approach at Floressence. In North Carolina, she managed a 250-acre farm property for five years, and began a small floral business on the side. Eatherley felt compelled to pursue her floral design business full-time.

Floressence Flowers was born in 2010, out of Eatherley’s love of plants and nature, and her desire to use them as an artistic medium. Today, Floressence has executed hundreds of weddings and special events in Western North Carolina and beyond.
