Are you waiting for the ‘big’ moment or achievement to find happiness? Is joy something that you will find if and when something happens? On this episode of the ‘So She Did’ Podcast, Kristin talks with Lisa Dimino-White, author of the book “Bursting with Joy” to explore how you can create passion and what Lisa refers to as ‘Bursts of Joy’ in every day life. 

Lisa and Kristin share ways in which they can recognize small and joyful moments and become more intentional about creating them in every day life. Lisa says that it really is the small moments that add up to a lifetime of happiness. The seemingly small, calming, peaceful and joyful daily experiences define our lives as a whole and Lisa says that the time between ‘then’ and ‘now’…really is now. 

Lisa encourages the listeners to find moments of joy without judging themselves, but rather authentically enjoying the things that make them smile…maybe it’s meditating, or maybe it’s spoiling yourself with a favorite dessert. Whatever it is, we should seek it.

What if you could learn to communicate in a way that would make your relationships better? In this episode of the ‘So She Did’ Podcast, Kristin speaks with Paul Sterling, best-selling author of the book “Argue Less, Love More.” 

Paul begins by explaining that in our relationships, we have 3 needs: to be heard, to be understood and to be valued. Often this starts with an understanding of our own needs and then intentionally working on our own communication skills. This often means understanding what your partner needs in the moment: do they need help solving a problem or simply an ear to listen? What do you need in the moment? Paul provides tangible examples of how to ask for what you need and provide it to others. 

Paul explains two different relationships paradigms which he calls, “Happily Ever After meets Lord of the Rings.” In the first, the relationship is happy and content, but in the second, the couple is called on a journey together that may have some challenges and discomfort along the way.  

At the end of the episode, Paul tells listeners how they can get in touch with him and get a free PDF of his book.

Understanding the root of of fears is just the first step, we must also learn to not only overcome them, but take our power back from them and say “YES!” to our lives. 

During this episode of the “So She Did” Podcast, Kristin is joined by inventor and entrepreneur, Gwen Austin. Gwen is a toy designer who specializes in helping children learn to not listen to the negative voices of the world but instead face their fears. 

She discusses how we, as adults, can adopt this same mentality. By understanding the roots of our fears, making decisions to overcome them and replace them with empowering beliefs and saying “Yes” to our lives, we really can live more fulfilling lives. 

Gwen says that we must learn to ‘go with our gut.’ Kristin asked what exactly that means and how we know it is out ‘gut’ talking. Gwen answers that if it feels like passion, it’s right….but if it feels like pressure, something is off. 

Listen to this episode for a great ‘Say Yes’ challenge, and more insight on taking risks and living your life to the fullest.

Kristin is joined on this episode by Rachel Shumway, Badassary Coach, Teacher and Emotional Mentor where the focus is on finding your inner badass and setting her free! 

Kristin and Rachel first address the tough topics: How do we overcome self-judgement? How do we identify the negative thought patterns that get in our way? Rachel offers some tangible tips and personal stories so that listeners can begin to silence the voices that tell them 'no,' and move forward with a big and resounding YES!

Kristin then shares her own experiences with toxic positivity: the idea that by simply thinking better thoughts we can create a better situation for ourselves. While the two agree that there is a place for motivation and positive thinking, they also agree that positive thoughts should not come at the expense of dealing with underlying emotions that may be subconsciously holding us back. Rachel presents a radical idea: half of our experiences should be negative. We need both the good and the bad to be well-rounded individuals and there is nothing 'bad' about negative emotions. 

The episode ends with final thoughts on how listeners can develop a healthy mindset that helps them find their inner 'super-hero' (in the words of Rachel), and live lives that 'set their souls on FIRE.'

Today’s episode is all about fitness and health through the lens of living a better life. Kristin is joined by multi-award winning author and Founder & CEO of “Couch To Active,” Lyn Lindbergh, whose approach to fitness emphasizes integrating activities you love into your life to live a healthier lifestyle. 

She and Kristin discuss the Pomodoro Technique and Kristin says that beginning with the idea that “ you can do anything for 20 minutes” motivated her to live a healthier lifestyle. Lyn uses the same approach and shares that in her own life, remembering to take short breaks helped her find her focus in the chaos of the day to day. 

Lyn reminds listeners that taking care is not an option; we are humans and we need exercise. Not only that, she reminds the listeners: “You are worthy of having an active life style,” and it is not selfish to take care of yourself; it is necessary. 

Kristin agrees and discusses the idea that in the quest for achievement, we often forget our health. She challenges the listeners to ask themselves: On the day you reach that professional or academic challenge—how do you want to feel? 

Kristin and Lyn discuss taking a fun approach to fitness and learning to enjoy living in our bodies, and approaching fitness from a perspective of health and overall life enjoyment rather than the scale.

The episode ends with Kristin posing a 30 day challenge to listeners to support both themselves and others by giving another woman a compliment every day for the next 30 days. By supporting one another and seeing the good in others, we can see the good in ourselves too. Lyn closes the episode by reminding listeners of their worth and ability to adapt to change.

On this episode, Kristin is joined by Certified Business & Sales Coach, Author and Facilitator, Nefateria Fonda. The two talk about what it takes to move forward with big dreams in business and in life. 

The episode starts with a discussion about having the courage to 'just jump,' that is taking initiative and getting started rather than being stuck in the same place. 

Nefateria emphasizes that in business, it is not enough to just have an idea: you must also have a plan, consider all stakeholders and not blindly jump into new ventures. While there is a place for vision and dreams, there is also a need for practical decision making. 

The two discuss the fact that in addition to adding knowledge and skills to prepare women for business, there are often things that need to be removed from our lives as well: habits and relationships that no longer move us toward our goals. 

The episode ends with the two agreeing that changing directions does not always mean failure. Life is a journey, and some things work for a season. True success comes when you are willing to take the risks that lead you to success and know when to move forward or make a u-turn.

During this episode, Kristin comes full circle with Transformative Coach, Katharyn Havey. Previous issues have discussed physical health, financial security, relationships, and alternative psychological therapies, but in this article the ego/soul relationship is discussed. 

The episode opens with Katharyn's personal story of being successful as a Registered Nurse, but then suddenly loosing their job. She discusses with Kristin that while this was unexpected, it pushed her to do something different to help people...a move she would have never made without the nudge. 

Kristin and Katharyn then have an in-depth conversation about Ego. Is it good? Is it bad? How can we balance our need for inner peace with so many outside voices?

Finally, the conversation ends with an in-depth discussion about transformation. How do we really listen to 'who' we are, and not just settle for what the ego and world tells us we should be?

During this episode, Kristin talks with J Robert Parker, Certified Master Hypnotist of Twin Ravin Hypnoisis, LLC.  The conversation begins with the basics of hypnosis: what it is and what it is not. Robert explains that hypnosis is removing the filter between the conscious and sub-conscious so that participants in the process can begin to overcome past traumas or improve their wellness. 

Kristin and Robert then begin to discuss some of the reasons that people seek hypnosis to begin with. While weight loss and smoking cessation are among the reason, Robert sees more people in his practice who are working to overcome fears or trauma. The pair discuss the way in which childhood trauma impacts people by sometimes stunting their emotional growth and keeping them 'stuck' in one place. Warning: There are some controversial ideas discussed here which makes the episode even more compelling. 

Finally, Kristin and Robert discuss other non-traditional psychological tools--including tarot cards. What? Tarot cards are supposed to be 'magical,' and off-limits right? Tune in for a different perspective of tarot that proposes that there is nothing magical about them at all; they can be used as a story, much like the Hero's Journey found in literature, to help people identify where they are in their lives and become more cognizant of the best decision for their lives.

During this episode, Kristin talks to Financial Coach, Victoria Sexton about the real issues that women face with money, how to address them and learning to change their mindset so that they can have better control over their lives. 

The episode begins with brief statistics about women, their earning power, and the way in which men and women approach money differently. Victoria encourages listeners to take learning about money seriously. This is more than just a budget: She encourages women to embrace investing and look for ways to make their money work for them. 

Kristin and Victoria agree that cutting expenses is not always the only or best option; women need to look for opportunities to earn more. That includes asking for a raise, being bold enough to find a job that pays what you're worth, being brave enough to start a side business, and finding other creative ways to increase the bottom line. Kristin states that women should stop limiting themselves, and Victoria says there is nothing wrong with wanting more money. 

The two also discuss spending, with a unique approach not commonly heard. Victoria believes that taking care of yourself is also an investment. Get the blowout or the manicure if it makes you feel better. Kristin agrees because feeling better leads you to do better, and in-turn you may be more willing to take action steps to earn more.

Victoria gives the listeners some practical tips about 401k investments, deciding what is truly affordable and invites them to participate in her upcoming investment course.
