Owning Her Authority Podcast | For Ascending Women Ready to Boldly Amplify Their Impact

The first Monday of each month The Live By Design Collective meets for Growth Night, and it’s one of my favorite nights! In May we took a deep dive into happiness, and not toxic positivity but real, true happiness - and our conversation was so valuable that I wanted to share some of the insights we covered with you too! 

So join me today as we chat about:

• The three categories of happiness: pleasure, meaning, engagement
• The six ways we experience happiness: contentment, gratitude, pride, excitement, joy, and optimism 
• Why studying and intentionally cultivating happiness matters (hint: it’s really good for your health!)
• What the 40% Solution, by Sonja Lyubomirsky, teaches us about the agency we have in creating and experiencing happiness
• And finally, how to cultivate happiness starting today (and for free!)

And when you’re done, grab my free Happiness Bingo card to take your intentional living journey to the next level (and have some serious fun while you’re at it!).

You can find all of the resources mentioned in this episode at

Take Your Goals From “Wish to Done” with Polly Payne of the Dream Planning Podcast

Have you ever experienced a moment where you realized that something in your life had to change?

Today’s guest, Polly Payne, had what she calls her “yes moment” when she committed to living intentionally and into the calling that was put on her heart. She decided from then on to create a life she wanted to live and to be intentional with how she spent her time. This led her to creating her Dream Planner, founding Horacio Printing, selling more than 40,000 planners, and raising over $68,000 to fight human trafficking while she was at it. What an incredible journey that all started with saying yes!

So if you too are ready to embrace your “yes moment” and truly go from wish to done, then press play and allow Polly to share the tools she uses to live an intentional life.

In light of May being mental health awareness month, I’m excited to sit down and speak with Lynn Jimenez, a licensed clinical social worker, who specializes in mindfulness practices and stress reduction, and is the founder of Connect Flow Grow.

For years Lynn experienced anxiety but thought that the tightness in her chest, thumping heart, and racing mind were her baseline setting. It was only when she was diagnosed with anxiety that she realized things could be different...that she didn’t have to feel this way all of the time.

Which is when mindfulness practices entered her life in a big way. She started only saying yes to the things that didn’t raise her stress levels, she prioritized her physical outlets like CrossFit and Yoga, spent time outside daily, ate well (think fewer processed foods, more whole foods), meditated, and journaled.

And you know what? It helped!

So friend, if you too are ready to reduce stress with a clear mindfulness practice, press play and let’s learn from Lynn together.

I have big goals I’m working towards and I really do love being productive, marking things off my to-do list, and making progress.

But sometimes I can get so caught up in what the future holds that I forget to “be where my feet are.” 

Because of that, I have to be extra purposeful in my mindfulness practices so I’m actually here to experience life for myself and with my boys and my husband.

I was recently wrestling with feelings of doing and being enough, and then it was like the universe was speaking to me because I kept hearing little whisperings along the lines of, “you are enough.”

One of those little nudges was when I read this Instagram post from Laura Jane Jones @laurajaneillustrations, which is all about knowing that you’re doing your best and that your best is enough.

So if you’re ready to ditch weighing your self-worth by your productivity and instead desire to honor that you’re doing your best (which is always enough), then I invite you to slow down and meditate with me today. Let’s be present, together.

Today I’m thrilled to welcome onto the show Life Coach Nicole Baker. Nicole speciality is in helping perfectionists set goals and then actually follow through with seeing them through. 

As a recovering perfectionist myself, who at times has to remind myself not to slip back into perfectionist ways, I really enjoyed this conversation and the actionable advice Nicole shares.

Nicole outlines the three different types of perfectionism and how to best move forward from these tendencies that hold us back. And while you’re listening you may start to identify with one specific type of perfectionism that you tend to lean towards, or you may find that you embody all three types throughout different seasons of your life (I know I have!).

So, if you’re ready to release what’s holding you back so that you can grow and move forward in the direction of your dreams, pop in your earbuds and let’s go.

P.S. Curious as to what type of perfectionist you are? Click here to take Nicole’s What Type of Perfectionist Are you? Quiz
