In Her Eyes

Have you ever stopped to think that the tiny little voice in your head,

the one that tells you to take a different route right before you get stuck in traffic,

the one that tells you not to lift all 6 bags of groceries right before one of them spills out across the parking lot,

might have actually know what it's talking about?

I refer to it as an "intuitive nudge." I believe that it is your heart telling you to move in a different direction. 

 So how do you stand up for what you feel is your path forward without the fear of criticism or disappointing others?  I talk a lot about how to transform your home and the spaces within your home on a daily basis.  But in this podcast episode, we dig deeper.  We talk about finding "THE HOME" of our most authentic selves.

Each day, on this Earth, we experience both joys and challenges.  Depending on which of those we focus on determines which of those expands.  When we shift our judgment on those challenges, and instead of seeing them as obstacles that we have no control of but rather asking them what message they bring with them; our path forward begins to illuminate.  I am the first to admit; it's not easy to ask those questions.  Sometimes the answers are really hard to hear!  But, in listening, everything becomes more clear.

My guest on Episode 11 of the In Her Eyes Podcast, Amy Malsbenden Neil shares her journey from being a collegiate hammer thrower to falling in love with the land and homesteading to tapping into her intuition and how that lead her to her true home.  She talks about how she listened to those pesky little voices that pop up when we are misaligned and had the hard conversations with those she loved to discover a life of daily joy.

Throughout Amy's journey, the role of community plays a large role from being taken care of as a small child whose family business was the epicenter for her small community to falling in love with the land and the spirit of co-creating with something much larger than herself to becoming a community event organizer in her hometown: letting life bloom and bear fruit just like the land she is cultivating.

Have you fallen down the Human Design rabbit hole yet?  If you have, you know exactly what I am talking about.  It is one of the most fascinating things I have discovered in years!  If you HAVEN'T, this is the crash course you need to get started!

My guest, Emma Jensen, is an expert in Human Design.  She is as knowledgeable as she is passionate.  In the discovery of Human Design and her unique blueprint, she was able to uncover the root causes of chronic diseases that plagued her as she began to climb the corporate ladder to heal both her body and mind. You can read Emma's story below and connect with her directly to discover more about living within your design.

If you don't know what Human Design is, you are definitely going to want to tune in and find out.

In this episode, she describes each of the 5 types:

Do you know YOUR type?  Do you know what your UNIQUE BLUEPRINT looks like?  Your strategy?  Your Inner Authority?

Emma grew up in the corporate and government worlds. Never knowing what she wanted to do she followed in her Dad’s footsteps and went into law enforcement. After a short stint, she went into the corporate world and eventually transitioned into working for herself, pivoting completely. She has worked for big companies: the United States Secret Service, Nike, and Apple, but always felt like her impact was meant to be more meaningful and bigger than what she was doing. It was through her personal development journey that she found her way to her current calling, Animal Communication and Healing and Human Design.

Emma helps us unpack how we can use the information found in our Human Design charts to improve our lives within our homes and our relationships with our daughters in particular.  Did you know that one of the 5 types is critically influenced by their physical environment?

RATE AND REVIEW ON APPLE PODCASTS FOR A CHANCE AT THE DRAWING WHICH WILL BE ANNOUNCED ON SEPTEMBER 23RD

Do you have areas in your home that always seem to collect clutter?  Do you find that despite the fact you have tried adding baskets or organizers to those spaces they still get messy?  Are there individual tasks that you, your kids, or your spouse seem to struggle with over and over?  Do you get frustrated?  Do they?

If you answered yes to any of those questions, you will want to join in to hear the "Back to School Clutter Buster Workshop" that I share on the podcast.

It's easy to complain about them but taking decisive action can be much more rewarding.  

In the end, the action-taking gives you back time AS WELL AS the mental space to focus on more valuable thoughts!

The workshop was taught live and recorded.  Originally it was slated for 20 minutes, but there was so much goodness happening in the chat I wanted to make sure that everyone was clear on exactly HOW to take action on their problem areas.  As well as understand HOW to release the mental frustration that is attached to things that aren't working or taking up mental real estate.

By identifying areas in your home that aren't working as the source of frustration, and not the people, it is much easier to analyze those areas objectively and take the necessary action to transform them to accommodate your various needs.

I walk you through the reframes and mindset shifts that I have found that help me as well as my clients create more harmony and order within their homes.

I also guide you through the ways that you can help your daughters recognize their own needs for order and creative expression within their spaces.

I introduce you to the 3 strategies that you can employ from James Clear's book Atomic Habits that can be used in your design strategy to help you get better and more consistent results in your life.

What are the costs of always putting everyone else's needs ahead of your own?  What YOU need MATTERS!  Your emotional and physical health depends on YOU taking ownership of what YOU need.  It is no one else's responsibility.  If you have always prided yourself on your ability to get things done at all costs, you have more than likely experienced the resentment or frustration that crops up when your own needs aren't recognized or valued.

I am honored to share with you the conversation that I had with the brilliant and inspiring transformational life coach, Nancy Levin on this episode of the In Her Eyes Podcast.

Nancy Levin is a best-selling author, master coach, and host of the podcast Your Permission Prescription. Formerly the Event Director at Hay House for over a decade, Nancy is the creator of Levin Life Coach Academy and Destination Me, offering in-depth coaching and training programs designed to support students and clients to make themselves a priority by setting boundaries that stick.

There is so much wisdom in Nancy's insight on what it means to be self-referenced and honor ourselves.  She is on a mission to help us take back our power by helping us establish our own boundaries and stick to them.  She guides us through:

If you have read Nancy's latest book, Setting Boundaries Will Set You Free, you will understand just how excited I was to dive headfirst into this topic with her.  If you have not had the opportunity to read the book, this is your crash course!  You owe it to yourself (and everyone who loves you) to listen!  For a world-class people-pleaser like me, this book was a life reset.

When I first committed to bringing this podcast to life, I made a list of my top 100 dream guests.  Nancy Levin was in the top 10.  So you can imagine how over the moon excited I was to have the opportunity to interview her.  She brings both knowledge and passion to this subject in a way that no one else can.  I am so grateful for showing up with such compassion and honesty for me and the beautiful-spirited listeners like you!

If my decades' worth of self-help has taught me anything, it is that living in the moment and appreciating the simple things brings the most joy to your life.  If throwing big parties stresses you out, this episode is for you!  You can cultivate a lifestyle of celebration just by reframing what a celebration is.  And what it's not.

By taking a deeper look at what celebration really is, you will uncover ways to enhance your life on a day-to-day basis.  You will also find ways to help your daughters step into their authenticity and self-confidence.  

The dictionary definition of Celebration is-- the action of marking one's pleasure at an important event or occasion by engaging in enjoyable, typically social, activity.

It is not about impressing others.  Or spending money. Or even necessarily about food.  

It's about paying attention.  It's about ritual.  It's about creating opportunities to listen and learn.  

Come dive in with me, and an armload of wildflowers, and LET'S CELEBRATE!

Does decision-making cause you anxiety?  Do you tend to second guess yourself?  Do you wonder if the decision is the "right" one?  Or do you avoid taking action because you fear you will regret the decisions you have made?

In this episode, I expand on the idea of taking a hard look at what you are inspired by and using it to create a design template for all of the decisions that you have to make going forward to pull together a project, or room, that inspires you?

When you are feeling anxious or overwhelmed, you lose the sense of joy in your project.  And when you feel constricted by money or things that you don't want to work with, decorating a room that you will love can feel almost impossible.  But looking at things differently can open the window to more organized thought processes that yield a more creative overall design.

Don't let the decisions take the joy out of creating from your heart.  You can learn how to have more faith in your decision-making skills when you connect to your vision.  I teach you how to do the analysis upfront to enjoy taking the actions needed to fall in love with any makeover or room design!
