Hi all! My name is Amanda. I am super passionate about diversity and inclusion, helping communities, and planning! I used to work for Yelp and my last year there really blended both of my passions together. I was able to plan, create, and facilitate a mentorship program, as well as lead some internal and external events with our employee resource groups. I am always pushing myself to diversify and get outside of my comfort zone, which is why I am opening up my Etsy shop and doing videos on Youtube by the end of this month! I am always wanting and willing to meet new people, so feel free to reach out to me anytime! My Instagram handle is mandie.u, which will have my linktree up soon, with all my other ventures.

Kris Adams joins us for a few minutes to outline the attributes of a type 3 individual. Her insights continue to amaze me!

My day job is a Paraeducator (or also known as a Paraprofessional) and I absolutely love my job. I am a union activist and Vice President for my local chapter of Paraeducators. During my free time, I help with the San Diego Planner Mafia group. I love all things Disney, Planners, and kitties. I do enjoy reading social psychology books as well as expanding my knowledge in the BLM and Indigenous movements. On top of all that I already do, I decided to go back to school to study conflict resolution. I am currently mapping out how to attain my goal of having a Ph.D. as the first in my family to have that degree. My current ride or die planner is the Passion Planner Academic Weekly and the Passion Planner Daily. Since the beginning of the year, I have accomplished many of the goals I had set out to do, thanks to my planner. During quarantine, it helped, even more, to guide me to a sense of routine.  My world is full of possibilities. I just need to keep moving forward. https://www.instagram.com/isseltmartinez/

Enneagram Enthusiast Intro by Krisadamsvoice.com

Season 3, Episode 7 

The Ones: Enneagram + Planner Mashup Series

Welcome to the first in a series of nine shows dedicated to the exploration of enneagram numbers in the planner community.

Each week, two people of each number will be represented in the form of a conversational interview facilitated by me, the host, Jessica McWilliams.

Enneagram Enthusiast:

Since it's the first week, I have included a helpful introduction to the enneagram that is less than 10-minutes. Our resident enneagram enthusiast Kris Adams gives a basic but robust explanation of the enneagram personality tool in today's episode. Kris outlines what we can expect from The Ones before the planner conversation begins. She'll be joining us each week to break down the characteristics of each enneagram number we feature. 

She is a vocal artist and can be found at www.krisadamsvoice.com for job inquiries. Kris is an enneagram enthusiast and a mom of two grown boys and a 15-year-old daughter. She's had a career in radio/voiceovers and on-camera acting for nearly 35 years and makes her home in the South Minneapolis neighborhood she grew up in.

Enneagram Type 1: The Moral Perfectionist

Kim is a 44-year-old mother to 4 sporty, smelly, and sweet boys ranging in the ages of 8 to 20 and lucky enough to be married to her favorite person in the world who lets her play in her craft room instead of watching man movies at night.  When not doing laundry,  this ex-fiber arts teacher loves memory keeping and creatively plans to make sure she doesn't routinely forget someone at some sports practice!  Don't let all that household testosterone fool you, this bubbly, ex-pageant girl knows her sparkle and sass which you'll find sprinkled throughout her projects and videos :) Instagram @krodesigns, YouTube, Twitter, Pinterest Blog:  krodesigns.blogspot.com Email: [email protected]

Season 3, Episode 5

Nostalgia hits as Shae' reminisces about her planner journey from the early days of ordering KAD to the time she found Planner Kate.

Shae' is soon to drop a new podcast show of her own called But For Real, so naturally, we had to get real. We took the time to consider her cultural pressures to "be strong" as a black woman. She admits for one of the first times what she is grieving during this season and how she intends to use her pain to help others. She's an "imperfect person" and she thinks her planner should reveal that about her. Mistake? Slap a sticker on it.

My guest says it so well...

Hi, I’m Shae’… a 30 something wife, boxer dog mom to Lennox and Layla amongst many other things. Though I’ve been planning pretty much since middle school, I’ve been in the planner community for about 5 years though most don’t know me. That’s because I am an introvert that talks only when I have something to say. 

When I’m not planning, I am a full-time Math Coach in the public-school setting. I was able to take the planning skills I’ve learned over the years into how I manage my schedule and time at work. With that, I’d say planning is much more than a habit for me. It’s a skill that has definitely helped me stay organized while allowing me to be creative. That’s one of the main reasons I enjoy the planner community. 

It’s not only because I like planning, but mostly because I have found so much inspiration from the people in the community. There are some amazing people that bring so much positivity into the world through more than a planner.

My guest says it so well...

I'm Jenna or plan.pen.paint.parent on Instagram. I'm a wife and mom from East Texas and I also have 2 pups.  I'll be celebrating 10 years of marriage this August with my husband Caleb, and our son will turn 5 in September. We live out in the middle of nowhere and LOVE it here! We both grew up in the country and wanted the same for our kiddo, so we bought some land in a tiny little town and built a home.

I'm a stay-at-home mom and venturing into homeschool this year for Pre-K. I have been planning and sticker obsessed since middle school and practicing hand-lettering since early 2017. I joined the planner community shortly after and finally feel like I'm finding my path and following my heart. 

I'm newly into crystals for healing purposes and I like sharing little bits about them on my planner posts.

On Saturday, August 1st- November 2020, I will officially be part of The Prancing Doxie PR team by Sarah Horst. The brand new website goes live on August 14th.

My name is Rachel. I started YouTube in 2012 as a hobby to do make-up videos and relax after work. I enjoyed my time doing that and interacting with the small community that grew around that channel. Around the time I started to drift away from being passionate about make-up tutorials I discovered the planner community and purchased my first Erin Condren planner. 

As I became engaged with the planner community, I purchased my first Silhouette Cameo. My intention was to make stickers for myself, but with encouragement from my family, I decided to open an Etsy shop and list some of the stickers I had designed myself. That was in 2015. 

Fast forward 5 years and Sticky Situations Co continues to grow year-over-year. It has pushed me to grow with my business and re-ignited my passion for YouTube as my channel transitioned from make-up to planners and lifestyle.
