Carly is the author of her book Once You Go In, a cocktail enthusiast, and a mother of three. Carly and I got to know each other during the pandemic when she started dropping off her special craft cocktails at my doorstep! She's ambitious and creative, which is why I wanted to have her on the podcast. To talk all about pursuing passions, the process of writing her book, and how she created this cocktail-book-loving podcast, Huckleberry Gin.
Key Takeaways
"I know how I feel when I'm not creating, when I'm not investing myself in something ambitiously creative. I feel this vague emptiness when I'm not. It's like I can't not [create]."

"You can't really get healthy in other ways without the food. It can be that you're eating really healthy but you have a stressful lifestyle. Your emotions affect the physical body."
"You have to do it every day. It's not like you do it once and it's done."
"The mindset behind healthy eating is that you get to do this for your body and you get to honor the physical body you've been given."

I'm sharing some big family news with you in this episode! Big, life-changing decisions require faith that it's the right decision, trust in yourself, and alignment with your core values. What are your core values? Have you ever compared them to your life right now? It can be a hard question to answer for yourself if your life isn't in aligned with your values.
Key Takeaways
Quotes
"Core values are useful for understanding yourself, though they are not an exercise in navel-gazing. When your core values are developed well and can clearly represent you, people will be drawn to you, not just because you have some nifty phraseology in your pocket but because you’ll look like someone who’s grounded in self-understanding." — Sara Sutler-Cohen, Ph.D., Core Values: What they are, why they matter, and how to define yours

You have to believe beyond our current circumstances. Brooke Castillo says,
"When you think big for yourself and when you believe in that dream, it requires the skill of believing in yourself. It requires the skill in believing in possibility and believing in things beyond our current situation and beyond our current programming ...it requires effort and requires skill. The better we get at believing things that are not yet true, the better we get at believing things that are not yet true.“
“If the first thing you do in the morning is to eat the frog, then you can continue your day with the satisfaction of knowing that this is probably the worst thing that will happen to you all day” - Mark Twain
"When you're not spending any time worrying, you're spending time executing." - Gary Vee

I loved this conversation with Amy, she is so wise about how to connect with your inner dialogue! Incredibly insightful about how to connect & listen to your intuition, even when your mind is overwhelmed with fear.
Amy's advice to breaking down your limiting beliefs and listening to your intuition:
"Ask yourself, 'what brings me joy?'"
"Intuition lives in the body, fear lives in the mind. Your Intuition is your inner guidance system."

Your mind is your only limitation. There's always a reason to not go after a goal or dream but the truth is, you're the only one who can make it happen. You can always find the time, energy, and resources if and when you decide. Just like your mind is your biggest limiter, your resourcefulness is your biggest asset. I believe in you. But the secret is this: you have to believe in yourself too.
"You know what's equally hard and freeing? Realizing that I'm not all the things I thought, was told, or learned I was...and then embracing the unknown-me."

Today I’m sharing my interview with Emily Kurth from Coco & June, which is Emily’s product company that’s dedicated to spreading positivity through her art & lifestyle goods. Emily has THREE teenage boys (insert emoji) and when her stress reached a pique, by doctors orders, Emily had to make a huge lifestyle change to DESTRESS.
In the episode:
“As a mom of teenagers who has been in your shoes, I try to tell moms of young kids this: it’s okay to screw up as a mom. It teaches your kids that they’re not the center of the universe, that their moms are not perfect. Their moms are human beings.”
“If it doesn’t bring me peace, I really don’t want it in my life.”
Emily is now a product launch coach and helps other makers launch & profit, without adding unnecessary stress as a solo-entrepreneur. You can check out her program here: The Product Shop Launch League.

I started to become more and more overwhelmed this week while I launched Start Your Podcast Accelerator and still maintaining my other responsibilities and goals. So as I was feeling intuitively that my creativity was suffering, I listened to this chapter in Greg McKeown's book, Essentialism, and it inspired me to get creative in a new way.

I wrote this episode on a day I forced myself to rest on the couch. My mind hated it, my body needed it. As I was writing it, it felt like a sad realization - that I didn't feel loved by myself enough to rest when I knew I needed it. After recording the podcast episode and experiencing self-love, I now know that there's one way to truly show ourselves self-love.
