Root to Bloom

EPISODE 15 🌸 Why write a business plan?  And, what might be useful to include in one?  

On the previous episode, I discussed initial considerations for starting a business.  Today I walk through the ‘recipe’ I’ve used to think through and organize these ingredients.  I also discuss the benefits of having a plan in writing. 

Here's to nourishing your creative heart and wafting your ventures out into the world.

EPISODE 9 🌸 Join me from my new studio as I share big life updates (hint: new job!) and fun stories of synchronicity.  Inspired by my conversation with Kate Wiggeringloh in Episode 8, I share moments in my life that have felt aligned, otherworldly, awesome, profound, and magical.  

Is it synchronicity or coincidence - tune in to learn about Jung’s synchronistic model, a tool you might use to discern the difference.  

In my opinion, paying attention to synchronicity not only helps us to show up in a positive way, but also encourages a state of openness and flow that can make our creativity that much more accessible. 

What magical moments have you experienced?  How do you cultivate a sense of connection and magic in your life?
