Ep 47 - Resting to Receive and Being a Gate Tender with Isabel Bagsik

In today’s episode we are joined by Isabel Bagsik, Creativity Wellness Guide and very nourishing human to share space with!

The TLDR:

Your Creative Calling is Medicine

-Why so many visionaries and change makers who identify as women, BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, or as the child of immigrants feel like there aren't enough hours in the day for rest and self care, let alone creativity and play

-How toxic capitalist ideals need you to believe your creativity should "just be a hobby" or "isn't worthy if it's not productive" and how to rewrite this narrative

-Why the prioritization of rest and creativity is the secret to an abundant income that lets you help support your loved ones, donate to causes you care about, and travel the world

-How to connect with your inner child to experience liberated play that takes you from discouraged and unmotivated to overflowing with creative enthusiasm and momentum

More about Isabel and how you can work together:

Isabel Bagsik (she/her) is a Creativity Wellness Guide and art director who works with visionaries and changemakers ready to honor their inherent creative wisdom without the burnout.

She has a double Bachelor's degree in Design & Digital Media from UC Davis, founded the Brown Papaya Magazine, and designed for nonprofits, multi-billion corporations, and even your fave celebrities (ex: Target, Google, Michelle Obama, Stephen Curry).

With 10+ years designing, strategizing, event organizing, and space holding for 400+ folks of diverse backgrounds (especially women, BIPOC, and LGBTQIA+), she nurtures your creative spirit to finally get your ideas launched, get you compensated, and find your soul community.

She supports your goals through 1:1 mentorship, group programs, and intimate community experiences.

Before you entertain thoughts about how you can do and be more next year or fart fart finish the year strong - what if you could identify who and how you are right now? Does this feel reflective of who you know you really are? Is this sustainable and is this way of being in line with the values you’re committed to living through? 

Identifying where the end of the year not enoughness has and continues to come from let’s you know where to be returning the urgency that does not need to continue pulling you away from that much needed nap

So instead of setting inhumane resolutions, let’s plant some seeds rooted in our sense of self to nurture so we give ourselves a chance to thrive day by day

If you’ve been feeling the weight of being the only person in your family, friend groups, and networks who is doing the hard work of healing from your past and choosing not to pass your pain along to others, The S**t Shifters Society (SSS) monthly membership doors are opening until mid January. SSS helps adults breaking intergenerational cycles of harm go from feeling depleted, isolated, and like a shell of themselves to feeling nourished, supported, and like their full ass selves.

This Winter’s SSS theme is “Hygge Hibernation For Humanity - A Guided Sensory Reset to Sustain Your Resistance and Repair Harm”

Y’all it’s time to Fake Less and Live More

Sometimes you have to wash your hands of the s**t everyone else puts on your plate

Faking it til you make it has an expiration date, and that is whenever you wake up, sit at the edge of your bed, and wonder whether anything beyond the ho hum will ever exist again

Yes, this current season of life may be extra defeating

AND all seasons shift, and there are so many incrementally possible near futures

Where you’re faking being fine less

And you’re able to access living more

For some this looks like smiling and waving at the neighbors dog after years of wishing you could but always dreading being deemed “the weird neighbor” by your creepy window watching neighbors

For others this might look like telling your In Laws that you really don’t like that dish they always make for you because you once said it was good out of performative politeness when in reality being fed it every week has you considering changing your phone number

However living more looks for you, know that you don’t have to get there on your own

The habit of making yourself small and faking being fine took a lifetime to develop, for so many valid reasons

So it’s only humane to approach shifting the weight of that s**t off of you with a tortoise’s sense of time in mind

Will 3 months in the S**t Shifters Society heal you from all the things that keep you up at night?

Nope, that would be a really gross and manipulative poison carrot to dangle in front of you

Might being a S**t Shifter equip you with the tools, community, and self literacy to sustain living life more as your full ass self?

Absolfuckinlutely. That’s my greatest intention and the standard I’m holding myself to.

If you’ve read this far, here’s the permission slip you’ve been wanting to give yourself:

Taking up space in your own life creates more room for being in right relationship

Your needs matter, and prioritizing them is one way to live more.

Live more for yourself

Live more for your dearest loved ones

Live more for your community

Live more because life is sooo worth living

When we’re doing it together

Join the S**t Shifters Society before doors close on October 8, 2023 (they reopen end of December, so no gross FOMO marketing is needed)

The real problem with morning routines is that they all seem to force your into “overfunction” mode faster than your eyelids get a chance to open.

From your feet hitting the floor before you even turn your alarm off, to thinking a blaring siren phone chime is the only option

This episode is explores so much of what made me

Not a Wake Up Person

Until I realized that I, yes me, could in fact Wake Up Willingly

Tune in to hear a few of my insider tips AND be the first to join

Wake Up Willingly - the stay in bed a second and bat your eyes a few times alternative to your feet hitting someone else’s floor of overfunctioning

Welcome to the Improviding Life Podcast with Lori Love - this week we’re exploring how life can be more livable when we reflect on how our habits are helping or hurting our day to day life.


The brief brief:
Ask yourself these questions to know if a habit is helping or hurting:

• Do you even realize it’s a habit
• What feelings surface when you realize it’s a habit
• Did this habit begin with you
• If you were living your best life, would this habit be part of your day to day life
• Do you feel closer or further from your goals and values while doing this habit
• How would you react if this habit was no longer an option

If you’re like me and realizing that you’ve been adulting on autopilot a bit more than feels good, the Yes, and Yesterday (YAY) embodiment course will equip you with easeful practices to shift the weight of your day as it’s happening so you wake up with more capacity to adult tomorrow by relating with reality today.

Feeling let down absolutely happens, AND sometimes I get swept up in the doom cloud for longer than feels good or kind to myself

I had a recent food travesty day (learn more about my ridiculously necessary concept of food based let downs in this episode) and much to my delight the following day was one of soaring sky high with unexpected food majesties

In this episode I’m sharing the 3 shifts that surprisingly made life more livable when I expected to be a miserable bish for at least a few days

And for those still considering joining the S**t Shifters Society for intergenerational cycle breakers, there’s still time!
