Let this be the summer that you give birth to the idea that has been simmering in your heart for all this time. Applications for my Summer Mastermind are open! Apply here!

Here are some of the big topics we talked about…

• Listen to anecdotes Jeni and Sandy share from being revolted by the “tech incubator” experience to they themselves being the two support people on their software platform (decidedly not having bots answer questions) to their closeness as best friends, mothers, and full-time leaders who work remotely from home
• How they weave soulfulness, artisanship, and feminist philosophy into all they do
• Even a year before they officially started working together, Jeni and Sandy had congruent inner voice intuitions yet didn’t discover that until later!
• The gratitude between these to women is clear - their working relationship is incredibly important to both of their lives and it’s a gift that they share with us how it works
• Importance of not participating in the harsh masculine language of online business (like ‘crushing it,’ ‘dominating,’ etc) and consciously living by a code of conduct that resonates with you, even if it’s not the absurdly growth-driven “success” so sought after
• How wellness practitioners can shift the belief that spiritual practices like yoga or meditation shouldn’t be profitable businesses

In Jeni’s and Sandy’s Voices

“Digital artisanship is the idea of taking the standards and principles of this offline artisan world and bringing it into the internet.”“We met in a very masculine setting, we were in a course together with very few women in it. In this environment, it was about growth, profit, and speed. There was a real missing voice.”“We did a lot of work early on the kind of company we want to build, how we want our customers to experience our company, how we want to empower women to be able to create their own business, have more freedom and flexibility with their time, earn more money, spend more time with their family or in nature. We just weren’t seeing that out there in the very ‘masculine’ economy.”“Success is also watching our teachers on our platform succeed. They have a gift to bring to the world to teach; they use our platform to reach a greater geographical audience and make an online business because of our tool. Those ripple effects are extremely satisfying.”“I want to cultivate the innate talents of other people in order to build wealth that supports all of us.”“We have to be very careful of the words we use because that’s creating the world we live in.”

5 Days of Journaling starts on May 19! Sign up here for free if you are ready to have clarity on your true purpose and are willing to let go of your expectations around what it looks like to live into that!! www.kellycovert.com/journal Here are some of the big topics we talked about…

• Real-life friends Kelly and Casey talk about Joyful Courage, Casey’s new book on self-awareness and parenting, and how it applies to life beyond parenting, in her second appearance on the show

• As much as possible, become conscious of your responses to life experiences because those reactions very much influence outcomes!

• Bring awareness to your autopilot reactions, like going into a rage or a “fix-it” mode

• It’s those times such as when you’re automatically angry that you can begin to recognize choice points of whether to join in bad moods of yourself or others

• One of Casey’s top tools for navigating your self-awareness journey: Make a practice of finding your breath, scanning your body, and taking a “balcony seat”

In Casey’s Voice

“Typically for me what I’ve learned over time is to recognize what’s happening in my body as a signal to check in and find my center so that I can remain more in the design of the experience I want to have. That’s what the book is all about!” “We’re always influencing our experience, whether we’re consciously aware of it or not.’ “We can get emotionally hijacked by the people in our lives and their emotional experiences.” “It’s only when you’re aware you’re on an emotional freight train that you can make a choice to stay on the train or get off.” “Be really clear on who you want to be. Create that anchor, that center.” “When things hit the fan, are you that gentle, loving, kind parent you declared you would be?” “A lot of people react and say, ‘this is just who I am.’ I would challenge that. This is available to anyone who’s willing.” “Even when it’s really hard, being able to say, ‘Yes! This is going to take me to a new place!’ Trusting that it’s happening for you is really important.”

What happens when we set goals but then lose our expectations? MAGIC!!

Be sure to sign up for my FREE 5 Days of Journaling on Inspired Potential, especially if you are ready to let go of your own expectations and listen to your inner voice! We begin May 19, 2019!!

Join in on my next 5 Days of Journaling Challenge!! Commit to 5 days of connecting deeply with your inner voice and tap into your inner potential! It's free and we start May 19!! Here are some of the big topics we talked about…

• Of the many ways we numb out, the biggest one plaguing most of us is social media

• Mindless scrolling means we don’t have to connect in with what’s going on in real life

• Keep your head up from the screen and the feeling that you’re missing out on anything!

• Things that make you feel alive - do those things, embrace your life!

• Watch out for your excessive over-helping of others; it enables them to under-function

• Numbing out the feelings that we don’t want to be with (being good enough, loved, belonging, security, anger, sadness) to cover up feelings of unworthiness

• How Lisa came back from burnout to trusting herself to decide daily to work out or not

In Lisa’s Voice

“Full frontal living is being 100% committed to showing up for yourself without using numbing or avoiding behaviors. It helps the women I work with step into next-level impact and influence because they have put their physical and emotional wellbeing as their #1 priority.” “You matter first in your own life.” “Numbing behaviors can look many different ways, from overeating to over-drinking, over-exercising, overworking, people-pleasing, controlling, approval-seeking, or caretaking.” “Facebook no longer lives on my phone. I’ve put intentional time and boundaries around it. It’s not that I don’t have the time. I don’t want to make the time anymore for endless scrolling.” “I was spending so much time taking care of everybody else and no time taking care of me.” “For so many women, workouts are not about nourishing their body. It’s punishment for how they did or didn’t eat, or how they do or don’t look.” “My number one priority is staying in integrity with myself around how I’m feeling.” “It’s a practice between knowing if we’re staying comfortable to stay comfortable, willing to get uncomfortable, and willing to tune into what you really need in the moment.” “Just because you can doesn’t mean you should!” “You build trust by checking in with yourself on a daily and weekly basis to see if you’re honoring how you’re feeling and staying in integrity with the things you’ve committed to.” “Rest is a life business strategy. When we do less better, we perform at a higher level.”

Your emotions are more than just what you are feeling at any given moment. They hold so many truths (and lies) about who we are and who we are required to be. Our emotions can also teach us how to live a more intentional life, if we take the time to get curious about the information they have inside of them.

If you are interested in support in this journey of understanding who you are, listening to your inner voice and living into your inspired potential, let's talk about how inner voice coaching can work for you. Click here to schedule a free discovery call with me today!  You can also learn more about my coaching programs at www.kellycovert.com.

Confused about what your purpose and passion are? Need clarity around your inspired potential? Let's talk about inner voice coaching! Sign up here for a free discovery call. Here are some of the big topics we talked about...

• Stacey’s ability to think on her feet is one unexpected aspect of her creativity

• A gratitude list helps create the space to honor yourself

• Strategic creativity was born out of building social media marketing and now applies to her life in lots of ways

• Take the pressure off to think of something clever: be creative more often

• Strategies are living and breathing, they’re in pencil! They’re not there to control you

• Maximize the creative energy of the moment: batch your content! Swap or reorder on a whim only because you have structure in the first place!

• Stay in the space of content creativity for longer before switching into distributing

• Map out your plans when you’re not feeling creative and lean on it to feel creative

• These ideas work not just for entrepreneurs but for families, meal planning, and more!

• Learn how Stacey structures her life to front-end decision fatigue, which rewards her with more time and even more space for creativity later!

In Stacey’s Voice

“Creativity for me is that state when you’re effortlessly coming up with ideas.” “There’s so much creativity in entrepreneurship, in living our lives, in problem solving.” “Starting a business while having a two year old took a lot of creativity!” “A gratitude list is easy the first week. Then you run out of things to be grateful for. It forced me to dig deeper. I realized I’m grateful I can always find a solution - it’s a skill I’ve always had.” “Creativity is not reliant on skill. I can enjoy the exercise of doing something creative.” “For me it’s about creating a foundational structure that allows me to semi-reliably become creative and share things worth sharing.” “On days when I’m not feeling creative, I can lean back on days when I was and just use that.” “Almost no one is clever and creative on demand.” “The plan, organizing, structure, and system were not there to contain me but to support me!” “Building out that initial structure of here’s what I’m saying, who I’m talking to, what I have to tell them, allows me to then come in with a certain perspective.”

“You’re probably already using systems in your life and really love them. Just apply that!”

Backstage Live Workshop

 

This week's episode is all about practice - letting go of the results we typically expect from practice (ahem, perfection) and tapping into the deeper benefit of daily and practical practice.

 

If you are needing support and accountability in developing your own practice of listening to your inner voice, check out my newest coaching program, Inner Voice Coach in Your Pocket.

Are you ready to release all of your expectations and really get to the heart of who you are meant to be? This is not about living UP to your potential, but about living INTO your inspired potential, that magic formula of you plus your talents and your power!! Listening to your inner voice is the way through to finally feeling fulfilled from the inside out. Click here to learn more about inner voice coaching.

Here are some of the big topics we talked about...

• Practices like yoga, meditation, journalling, and good sleep let you be more fully you!
• The choice is ours to pause and take three deep breaths at any point in the day
• Taking the pressure off of the idea of meditating makes it more approachable
• It doesn’t matter how it goes after you start meditating, just that you started
• What’s under the surface can be beautiful, intense, or provoke change

 

• Calm your nervous system with yoga in order to connect with your own steadiness

 

• Ancient practices of yoga and meditation provide equanimity; they’re not fads
• Connecting to the life that you want is achieved through asking for help
• Intention is so helpful when failure tends to stop your practice.
• One way to deepen your practice is to go to a retreat or get a teacher.

In Sara’s Voice

“Practice can look so different from person to person.”“Writing is very real. When I put something down on paper, a strong intention has been set.”“I find that when I don’t have practices in my day that help me check in amongst all the chatter and distractions then I’m not successful.”“My practices are meant to put me in a state so that I’m available to check in with myself.”“For an overachiever like me who can get caught up in trying to meditate ‘right’, I have found it really freeing to think, ‘I just have to sit down.’”“When you are doing any spiritual practice that requires your attention, there’s no escape. You’re going to feel your feelings. You’re going to see what’s beneath the surface.”“Yoga and meditation give me a sense of quiet. Journalling gives me a great space to access visions, goals, and what I need to release.”“Any practice is better than none!”“Life is too short to spend a long time being stuck.”
