About This Episode

Let's have some real talk about nurturing. In this episode I share how I realized, in real time, how much I needed the nurturing I've been doing. From hormonal shifts after 9 very quiet months with my body, to feeling ready for a family picnic after years of feeling anxious about these things.

A Note from Grace

This episode centers on a weekend that was full of fun but could have been hindered by my hormonal flip flops. There was a time when that absolutely would have happened.  Was this one perfect?  No, and that's the point.

About This Episode

In this week’s episode you get a peek into me reconnecting with a friend with whom I was once very close, Jen. Jen Novack calls Philadelphia home. After navigating her own path through physical illnesses, mental health challenges, and emotional rebuilding, she’s become passionate about how we heal and how we keep going. She brings a creative, honest voice to conversations about resilience, recovery, and finding beauty after breaking.

Jen believes resilience isn’t about bouncing back. It’s about learning to move forward with what’s left.

I want to share now that there is some conversation around Jen’s mental health and a time when she contemplated ending her life.

A Note from Grace

When I recorded this episode I was about 20 days into this nurture quest and in the midst of the first migraine I’ve had in over a year. For me,  migraines have been a part of my cycle and as I’m well into the throws of perimenopause (the late part), I have been glad to say goodbye to them. If one was going to pop up, I’m glad it happened while I’m focused on nurturing myself. This has made it easier to navigate.

A Note from Grace

I’m glad that I decided to do this longer than I have in the past. I can rock a short challenge like nobody’s business but this is a slow, intentional pace and I’m feeling the shifts already.

About This Episode

Third time is a charm. This is my 6:00 a.m. haven’t talked to anyone it’s allergy season voice. This one has a mini episode at the beginning for you. But the real topic is the Nurture Quest. I give you a sneak peek into my first few days and how each intentional thing I chose can benefit you.

Episode Highlights

A Note from Grace

Heading into this quest, I wasn’t sure what I would choose first. I had some ideas but on day 1 my morning routine had a change which meant that I was the only one in the house awake for about an hour before I would have to leave for work. That meant no navigating shower time or climbing over each other while making breakfast and I was way ahead of schedule…so I started with a mediation and that felt great.

About This Episode

In this week’s episode I get to share the fabulous energy and wisdom of my friend and mentor, Kaitlin Anthony. Kaitlin is a trauma-informed sales coach, entrepreneur, and girl mom based in Los Angeles who has built her career in commission-only sales and high-ticket entrepreneurship.

As founder of The BEAM Life® and host of the Be Everything and More podcast, Kaitlin has a refreshingly direct take on why women aren't struggling with confidence, they're struggling with sales skills nobody ever taught them. She helps female coaches and creatives build consistent high revenue months without shrinking, discounting, or burning out in the process.

She has successfully grown her business and community through COVID, financial hardships, neurodivergence, and through rebuilding her life after divorce. Her clients don't just make more money, they stop being afraid of it.

About This Episode

In this episode I bring some real talk about my fear of community and connection, and share how this comfort zone challenge created itself without me even realizing at first.

Episode Highlights

A Note from Grace

I thought that the Comfort Zone Challenge episodes would be me setting out intentionally to put myself in uncomfortable spaces and it is. But, it may be working sooner than I thought. I recently stepped way out of my comfort zone by reconnecting with an old friend. That sounds nice, lunch or coffee right? But after the loss of community and friendships in my life it was no easy feat. Grab a cup of coffee or tea and join me while I share the details.

OK, after the failure, the mini-wallowing session and evaluation it is time to decide what next. That may be trying again with new information or it may be time to move along. Only you can decide that.
