KINDNESS WARRIORS

In this Kindness Warriors episode I tackle ye age olde question of "How can I get better at creativity?"

My clients from creative professions & those in more strategic/ numerical/ logical roles ask this.

We are all inherently creative.

Creativity is what connects us.

Here's my take on practicing to get better at creativity - just like you'd practice to get better at anything else you're keen to become an expert in.

Enjoy & thanks for listening.

YEEEOOOOOOWWWWW!

Death & change are the only two constants in life. Not being morbid, but it's true!

This week's podcast is a DEEP BREATH OUT of a conversation. Especially since it feels like this year has been a tough one for almost everyone I know. And, I'm included in that stat, too!

After having a superb chat to my wild therapist last night, I wanted to share some tools, tricks, tips, & stories to help YOU feel more grounded & steady on your proverbial feet.

Here's how to become someone you can rely on while you're busy being relied upon by others, & how you can start to tap into what your heart truly desires.

Kindness Warriors, LFG!

This week's episode of The Kindness Warriors Podcast leans waaaaaaaay deep into gratitude. I LOVE Thanksgiving for the ethos of the holiday (being thankful), for the sports (yay, the sports!), & for the reminder that without the grit - no pearl. Also featured in this episode: lesbian bars, dad jokes, & some homework for YOU! Kindness Warriors, lesssssh go.

Out of control. Control what controls you. At the controls. No control. Ground control to Major Tom...

This week we're talking about control: what you can, can't, & might be able to control in your life.

I dive into the simplest way yet I've found to control what controls me... my mindset, staying grounded, & gratitude all play a part in it.

Go well Kindness Warriors!

We're all going through *it*, or so it seems.

Hard times, hard stops, soft starts, & open hearts yearning for something just out of reach.

Recently I've been thinking a lot about the old cliche of "you have to go through it to get through it" & this week's episode of Kindness Warriors tackles the HOW IN THE WORLD DO I GET THROUGH question.

Well, kinda. Ha!

The good news? No tissues are needed for this episode (unless you cry at horribly bad Dad Jokes, there are a few in here!)

Be well, Kindness Warriors.

Keep going.

This weekend I had the abject pleasure of delivering a eulogy on behalf of the thousands of students that my soul-mate & father-figure, Pete, taught over his 30 year tenure as a small town high school photography teacher.

Pete's stories, open heart, creative soul, & curious mind helped so many people live more connected, happy lives.

He was different.

He knew Picasso.

He saw color in shades of black and white.

He read palms with a joyous sense of servitude.

And, he could outrun me on the local trails up until his 80th year.

In this episode I talk about the power of being DIFFERENT in a world hellbent on sameness & accolades & binaries. Different in business, in life, in community, & in relationships.

May we all find belonging in diversity.

Starting over is something we all do - sometimes on the daily. And, it's one of the most destabilizing times in our lives. Whether it's a new job, a new house, a new country, a new love, a new story about who we are... starting over is a BIG DEAL.

In this episode I tackle the hard sh*t I've been navigating as part of moving from New Zealand to the USA as a friend, creative, business woman, coach, & single parent (of an amazing teen!)

Hopefully one, some, or all of the six tools in the episode help you as you navigate your own new beginnings.

Keep your chin up.

Put one foot in front of the other.

You've got this.

This episode of Kindness Warriors might be one of the most special I've ever done because of the guest who joins me to open it. Pete Nelson was, is, always will be my hero. He passed away in early May 2023, but I've just started to unpack the recordings he & I made when we were together at the end of his life. He was my father & confidant & best friend by choice. I miss him daily, but know he's here. With me. With everyone. Still making the world a better place through his teachings. This one's for Pete. They all are, really.

In today's episode I talk bells n whistles (and how they sometimes suck - or, rather, don't), being weird, how titles are for wimps, going with the flow, and being BIG. Thank you, as always, for joining me, KINDNESS WARRIORS! You rock!

In today's episode of the Kindness Warriors Podcast, I tackle loss, lessons, & learning to see each moment as a gift.

Thank you for joining me, as always, I appreciate our time together.

Kindness Warriors, lesssssssh go!
