Slow Living | Creating a Life of Purpose in a Hustle Driven World

Did you know that our brains are not wired for clutter? My friend, Amber Taggard, is here to share her entrepreneurial journey with us and how she has built a business dedicated to productivity!

Amber is the owner and founder of The Organizer Chicks. She is a professional organizer, time management coach, and professional speaker who has contributed to Forbes.

Growing up with entrepreneurial parents, Amber always knew that there were more options for her than what was in the college brochure. Still, she grew up being told that college is the way by society. Unsure of what she wanted to do, she got a degree in psychology. Throughout the beginning of her career, she realized that productivity is her specialty. Which was the lightbulb to start her company, The Organizer Chicks.

We are diving into topics like:

• How she built her company from the ground up
• Our bodies are physically wired to be affected by clutter
• How does she schedule her day as a business owner

I am so excited to have a friend and mentor on the podcast today!

Elise Bauer is an ex-tech executive and the founder of Simply Recipes! She started this business when she was at a low in her live, struggling with chronic fatigue. But she wanted a way to help others, so she started Simply Recipes.

Her recipes grew into a huge company and eventually she sold Simply Recipes. Now she is entering a new chapter in her life and she is here to share that with us.

I met my guest, Leanne Ellington, at a business conference and we immediately clicked! She is amazing at what she does and I can't wait for you all to hear what she has to say.

Leanne went from being dissatisfied with her body to learning how to overcome body image and life a healthy lifestyle. She built up a health and fitness business that gained her national attention from tv stations and social media outlets.

But when she was at the top she felt a calling to do something different. She knew that she needed to make a change. So she started over and is now helping women to heal their own relationship with food and their bodies.

We are talking about:

• Skinny does not equal healthy and skinny does not equal happy
• There is never a perfect time to start something new, you just have to start
• What is food noise?

If you are ready for Leanne's help to overcome your toxic relationship with foods and self confidence, you can learn more HERE!

I am so excited to start this new series with you! We are going to be diving into what it means to be a Slow Parent and how you can parent in a thoughtful way.

As I have shared before, my acronym for SLOW is Simply.Look.Only.Within and this applies to slow parenting as well as slow living. You can look within yourself to feel calm and confident in your parenting.

One of the most important things to start with is get to know your child. Understand what they are capable of and don't give them expectations to live up to that they may not be ready for.

We are talking about:

• How you handle a situation can affect your kids
• Tips to discipline your child in a slow parenting way

I have something special for you, my Golden Rules for my family and I am sharing them with you! You can find them HERE.

Have you been going through life and not happy where it is taking you? My guest today didn't either, so she decided to change the trajectory and take control!

Diane Moca started her career in journalism. She loved all of the opportunities that it brought her. Then she had her first child and things changed. Now, Diane wanted to be a present mom while also having her career. So she decided to go back to work.

In this time she realized the lack of affordable and reliable child care for women who are in the workforce. That's when she got an idea to help those women out. So Diane started MomSub!

Diane's goal at MomSub is to provide moms with help with finding child care by reducing the stress, guilt, and self criticism that goes into finding a reliable source.

We are talking about:

• How Diane created MomSub
• The process of finding child care on MomSub
• How companies are starting to offer child care benefits

Currently, MomSub is only offered in the Chicago area but they ready to expand. If you are located in another city, send them a message at [email protected] and let them know where they should expand to next!

We are heating things up today on the Slow Living Podcast. I am talking with Amy Rowan, The Suburban Sexologist!

"Why did you want to talk about sex?" This is a question that Amy hears all the time. People are always wondering what led her down this path. But Amy feels that she was born into it as her father was an OBGYN and mother a therapist.

Amy works with women and couples to help them have a healthy, long term relationship with sex. She wants everyone to be able to build trust and communication to have a thriving sex life with their partner.

We are talking about:

• Can you re-create the desire you had for your partner from when you first started dating?
• How to make scheduling sex fun
• How to make things exciting again in your relationship

Amy has devoted her life to creating a safe and welcoming space for people to come and learn.

Let's talk about love!

There are all different kinds of love. But one of the most important ones is self love. In today's episode I am talking about how you need to love yourself unconditionally.

Something that I do is create love notes for myself. It's a great way to give yourself positive affirmations. For you, I have created Love Notes with an emphasis on YOU! If you would like your own Love Notes - you can find them HERE!

Our upbringing and our relationships with our parents can leave us feeling unfulfilled. Your emotional needs may not have been met to the fullest.

If you feel that you need to work on your inner child, here are some books that I recommend:

Lindsay Gibson's "The Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents"

Jonice Webb "Running on Empty"
