She Made It

We are in content overload. Everyone is trying to grab our digital attention, and in fact, according to a Nielson survey, online content consumption has grown 215% from 2019 to 2020! So, how do we break through the noise? My guest on this episode is Brandi Bernoskie, founder of Alchemy + Aim, a digital strategy and website development company who has created websites for Brené Brown and Martha Beck. She's teaching us how to show up as your authentic self online, magnetize your ideal client to you, discard the formulas that don't work for you, consume better content, and elevate your online presence. Plus she has a fascinating background that you'd never expect from a digital marketing expert!

A creative, authentic life doesn't just happen—it's the product of showing up, creating little "assignments," and letting the art of your heart bubble over into your life. My guest today is a master of that, and she's sharing all of her secrets! Lori Siebert is a self-proclaimed artistic chameleon—she's a visual artist who experiments with many styles and mediums, and she also owns Olika Studios, a design firm who has had influential clients such as Target, Bath & Body Works, Nickelodeon and Universal Studios. Outside of that, she has licensed her art to top manufacturers in the gift and home decor industry, and she's a living example of what it means to keep pivoting to become a thriving artist.

Questions:

You must listen in to uncover your passions and purpose. Here are some questions from the episode that will prompt you to awaken your authentic self:

To figure out what you want, ask yourself: What do you want? Do you even know? Why do you want to change? What are your priorities? What are you passionate about? What lights you up and feels effortless? As a small child, how did you spend your playtime? What are the things you were naturally drawn toward and got your attention?

To determine your goals, ask yourself: What's in your ideal life? What nature are you surrounded with? What fills your time? Who are the people around you? What are you spending your time doing? What is your house like? What is your ideal day? What are you doing? How are you serving or interacting with others? What is around you? Who is around you?

What's next? How do you make a transition into your next thing—or into the next phase of a pandemic—when none of us has any idea what's going to happen in the coming days? I know many of us either want something different for our lives or have been forced into something different by no choice of our own, so on today's episode, I'm sharing all about how to transition well and with empowerment and grace. If you're feeling in-between, grieving what has been lost but unsure of what to do next, this episode is for you.

Ever feel like you're not doing enough? Or wonder if your experience is insignificant when you know that so many other people are hurting more? A lot of us have been feeling emotionally overwhelmed in the midst of COVID-19, followed by the loss of innocent Black lives and divisive protests around the country. While these two things have affected all of us in different ways, they still affect all of us, whether directly or indirectly. But what do we do next? A revolution has many lanes, and our responsibility is to find the one we can move into. This episode is a replay of the live webinar I hosted with Licensed Professional Counselor Sharon Hicks, founder of Kintsukuroi Counseling. It's a conversation about collective and indirect trauma, healing from within, and holding space for others and for ourselves—and why that's not mutually exclusive.

Before March 2020, creating consistently felt like a pipe dream for so many of us with relentlessly busy lives. After March 2020, we were all baking bread, dusting off our piano, and painting for the first time in ages. Stay-at-home orders forced us to dabble in new ways, and we found that even though we missed our friends and family, we really liked having time to express ourselves. So: What's next? What will become of the creative renaissance that has blossomed in our lives post-pandemic? How can we hold on to the creative practices we cultivated while in quarantine—or finally push past self-doubt to get started? Clara and I are coming to you from our closets with all of our best tips for embracing (and maintaining) your creativity in this unique era we're living through.
