  • On Creative Sabbaticals and Social Media Fatigue
    Don’t bite the hand that feeds you. That’s the gremlin I hear behind the
    slight nerves I feel about sharing today’s conversation with my good friend
    Nicole Antoinette.
    As we both hit eight years of blogging this year (ten since I started Life
    After College), we decided to take an honest look at the social media
    fatigue that sometimes washes over a life lived online.

  • 16: Stacy Sims on Somatics — Why How You Sit Might Cause Stress

    Did you know that just the way you sit might be causing anxiety? Or that by straightening your spine and scanning the horizon you can calm your central nervous system, just as deer in the savannah do?

    Stacy Sims, founder of True Body Project, is an expert on somatics, or how our physical and psychological bodies relate to one another. I had the great fortune of stumbling across her workshop in Bali when we were both there in 2013, and we have kept in touch since.

    In this week’s podcast she shares her story of recovering from alcoholism
    through body awareness and movement practices. Stacy describes why if your
    body is holding stress—even just sitting in a certain positions that
    visually mimic those of tension, fear or depression—your emotions and
    thoughts will create a story to match.

  • 15: Special, Not Special — How to Work Your Way Out of a Dip

    “The explorer is the person who is lost.”—Tim Cahill

    I rode the high of hitting my 50,000-words-in-a-month NaNoBlogMo goal for exactly one day last week.

    For one day I was over the moon! I did it! I wrote almost every morning for one month, and came out with 50,000 words by the end of November. It was like running a mental marathon! Combined with my October practice of trying to write for 30 minutes each day, I had amassed 100,000 words of a book draft. For those who aren’t word nerds, that’s about 350 pages double-spaced. Definitely cause for celebration!

  • 14: Systems, Hacks and Shortcuts for Solopreneurs

    Happy November! As I shared in my latest JB.me behind-the-business update, Pivot for Pivot, we have postponed the book launch from March to next September. My initial resistance turned to great relief as I realized I could actually enjoy some time off over the holidays! Read the behind-the-scenes recap for the biggest mindset mistake this move highlighted, and how I corrected course.

    While my editor Natalie reviews the latest draft, I spent the month of October furiously studying podcasting and audio editing. I am getting ready to take the Pivot Podcast “pro” by getting it on iTunes . . . with fancy intro and outro music and all that jazz. I am very close! In the meantime, check out the 9 existing episodes on SoundCloud.
