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

This week’s bonus episode features Nick Cruz Velleman of Sight and Insight who is a dear friend, artist, youtuber, teacher, and author. You may remember Nick from earlier this week when he joined me on the podcast and we discussed the role of art and creativity in our daily lives, the power of art to teach nonjudgement and self-acceptance, and finally we dreamed big with Nick as he shared his future hopes and dreams for himself and his business. You can check out that episode here if you missed it.

In today’s bonus episode Nick shares what advice he would give himself if he could go back and speak to himself from 10 years ago. And his advice focuses on two areas that we can all find a nugget of wisdom in. The first piece of advice is that while willpower is deeply important it will only get you so far, and the second piece of advice is to leave margins in your day...and ultimately in your life! 

So, put in those earbuds, press play, and listen in while Nick shares with you the insights he’s learned from his past decade of life!

** Don’t forget to leave your 5 Star review and a few sentences about what your favorite take away from the podcast has been, and if your review is picked as a future Apple Podcast Review of the Week, then your next cup of coffee is on me!

Many of us strive to find something that lights us up inside, that makes us feel alive, and that creates peace and joy in our lives. 

Today’s podcast guest, Nick Cruz Velleman, has discovered how creativity brings him to life, and on the podcast he shares with us: 

• How art brings all of his energy and attention into the present moment
• How he uses creativity to center himself
• How you can access creative mindfulness within yourself
• And the reminder to discover and return to your why when things get tough

And you don’t want to miss when I ask Nick where he sees himself in 10 years. I’ll give you a hint! Listen in as Nick shares how he hopes to use the power of art to teach non-judgement, self-acceptance, and acceptance to society as a whole. How powerful is that?!

So friends, pop in your earbuds and settle in as Nick and I talk about the power of art, the importance of uncovering your “why,” and how he pursues non-judgement and self-acceptance through the practice of mindful creativity.

Have you had feelings of loneliness and anxiety? Have you ever felt lonely even though you aren’t alone? And on top of that, layer on a pandemic and it feels even harder to connect with others in this current season of life.

Which is why I’m excited to chat with Jaymee Davis from The Genuine Mom Club Podcast about this week’s theme: Social Life. The Genuine Mom is all about unlearning the idea that we need to have it all together all the time. The truth is, we need to be real and share the good and the bad. And that’s the mission of The Genuine Mom!

This is why Jaymee is the perfect guest to chat with regarding feelings of loneliness and anxiety, how they’ve impacted her life, and what she does to feel more connected to herself, her family, and a sense of community.

So friends, grab a warm blanket and settle in as Jaymee and I talk about finding connections in motherhood, and as a bonus we’ve also included what we do for our own personal self-care. And our tips might be a little different than what you are used to hearing because it’s not all about bubble baths and face masks, so stay tuned to hear what works best for us!

When you walk through the door to your home, how do you want it to feel when you step inside? Do you want it to be welcoming, comfortable, and cozy like a warm hug? What special pieces do you have in your home that remind you of your loved ones and give you that sense of ease?

In today’s special Book Report episode we are talking about The Little Book of Hygge (pronounced Hoo-ga) - Danish Secrets to Happy Living by Meik Wiking, CEO of the Happiness Research Institute in Copenhagen.

So, what is Hygge exactly? In a nutshell, it is about atmosphere and the experience we create rather than focusing on things. It is humble and slow. It’s choosing rustic over new, simple over posh, and ambience over excitement. 

I’ve really been taking this idea to heart as I’ve been creating little spaces in our home that reflect our family history or are nostalgic in some shape or form. One fun way this is reflected in our home is a gallery wall that I have set up around my desk space. Each piece, while aesthetically pleasing, has deeper meaning for our family and I feel that I can come into this space and let my guard down, and I can fully be myself and at ease. 

So grab your favorite drink, or pop in your ear buds and go for a walk, and listen while we talk about Hygge and how it relates to the space we surround ourselves with and the feelings that we get from being surrounded by warmth, love, nostalgia, and so much more!

This week we continue our conversation centered on IIN's Circle of Life Exercise and focus on the topic of Education.

When I sat down to brainstorm who would be the perfect guest to welcome onto the show for this chat, it dawned on me that my alma mater, Gettysburg College, has a president who - funnily enough - is also a podcast host!

Flash to be taking a deep breath, giving myself a little pep talk, and writing a long-winded email to President Iuliano about who I am, what my podcast is all about, and a request for an hour of his time to record a podcast episode together.

And he said yes!

So let this conversation be a reminder to you, dear friend, that you never know what you can create or bring into being by simply asking and putting yourself "out there." Because if you never put it out there, it's not going to happen. But if you gather your gumption and just try - what might you bring to fruition?

And what DID happen was an insightful conversation with Gettysburg College's 15th President, Robert Iuliano, where he shares his four-step approach to living a life of meaning which includes: being open to moments of serendipity, embracing a degree of humility, a willingness to take risks, and finally appreciation for the good in life.

So pour yourself a fresh cup of coffee, press play, and let Bob inspire you to live a life that's authentic to you and the unique ways you personally find joy and purpose.

It's funny, but in my experience I've found that running often times is symbolic of life itself. And during my super hot 2-miler yesterday I got to thinking about the importance of shifting your gaze higher in order to gain perspective and the courage to see your goals through to the end.

And then the COOLEST thing happened!

I kept shifting my gaze higher and higher...and I looked at the sky above and there was a bald eagle soaring above me.

Yes. True story. This happened, it was magically, and I want to share the experience with you too. So forgive my post-run-out-of-breath voice, but this was too incredible of a moment to let pass.

Press play for a 7 minute listen which I hope leaves you inspired and encouraged to keep showing up for yourself, your life, and your dreams.

I believe in you, friend. Keep showing up for your life so you don't miss your own bald eagle moments.

What advice do you wish you could share with a past version of yourself?

Well this week that's just the question that our guest, Cassy Joy Garcia, answers. Cassy Joy is a bestselling cookbook author, the creative force behind the popular food blog Fed + Fit, holistic nutrition consultant, and mama to two littles (soon to be three!) - and she has a wealth of insight to share. It seriously gave me a jolt of inspiration when hearing Cassy Joy speak from the heart!

And if you're looking for your next favorite cookbook, look no further than Cook Once Dinner Fix. Not only is the book full of absolutely stunning photography, but the recipe pairings have been a game-changer for me. Prior to connecting with Cassy Joy I was in a serious cooking rut, and now I'm reinvigorated. If you pre-order Cook Once Dinner Fix before it drops on Sept 14th, then Cassy Joy and her team have curated some fabulous goodies that you can redeem on their website ahead of time!
