The Doing Scary Things Podcast

Today we have the great pleasure of talking with Audrey Hall - who started taking photos in 1991 and since then has created a full career including being an artist, commercial photographer, and now the scariest thing yet for her, music.

After experiencing severe burnout and losing "my passion for what I do", Audrey pursued "a path of joy", trying many different new things. Music was the thing that stuck.

She talks with us about how scary it is to be a beginner at something after having proficiency in another craft. 

She shares a hilarious story about how even her friend and neighbor Jeff Bridges gets nervous, but, in his words, "the experience makes it all worth it."

Audrey smartly shares that, "It's okay to be afraid," and explains how nerve is a great tool to keep you present and paying attention.

We discuss how, as a culture, we are encouraged to specialize and master ONE thing, but as Audrey points out - "people have depth."

She describes the journey she's been on with creating music and asking herself, "How can I be most authentically me? And how do I put that into the world?"

We also discuss masculine vs feminine energy and not indulging the culture of "busy", and Audrey gives great advice to any one looking to transition out of their 9-5.

Audrey advises surrounding yourself with people better than you and says, "Making art is one of the bravest things you can do."

Anxiety can be helpful & normal and we discuss the differences between stress & anxiety. Depression is also a very common experience.

We provide a few helpful tips for improving mental health and stress the importance of being relentless in the search of the right professional to help you personally on your journey. We also discuss how to find a supportive community if you don't already have one.

Today we are talking with Makaila Borgerson about both her brilliant career creating art and her experience with her own mental health diagnosis. She bravely shares that, though this is a part of her, it does not define her. She shares what this journey has been like for her & how she has learned more about herself from creating her art.

We also talk about a ton of different concepts in this episode.

Namely:

-Taking care of yourself & being kind to yourself, even (& especially) when you don't have it all together!

-When it's hard to talk about & share your art

-Digging deeper into life & paying attention to who your real friends are

-Being scared

-Not liking your current or past work, but knowing you can't get to your next & better work without creating it first

-Processing life & emotions and the "tortured artist" scenario

-Sharing your heart through your work is so vulnerable!

-Comparing yourself & creating from your true self // doing what's truest for you.

-Makaila's amazing life's work of creating maps of places from her life

-What happens when you take the foot off of a sewing machine 

-You don't always have to sell your art.

-Taking a break & then starting to create again.

-Working with only what you already have.

-Not stopping when things get uncomfortable: When we get stick, we're probably resisting something.

Today we are talking with Melisa Celikel, owner of Make Sht Happen, LLC about how she left her 15 year corporate career working for Fortune 500 companies to creating a career she didn't want for herself, to once again pivoting and finally creating a job she loves! 

We ask her about being a first generation US Citizen, as well as what it was like to become an entrepreneur with no prior experience and without her parents' understanding.

Melisa tells us all about her organizational work with her clients and how it has everything to do with Mindset.

She also explains the journey of figuring out that even though she is highly analytical, that she is also creative and when she couldn't find a "creative group" for people like her, she created her own in order to find her tribe.

We discuss our shared disdain for all of those "5 steps to success" plans out there and she shares how she walks her clients through strategic planning to get them to where they want to be.

Melisa shares the bravery it took to go back to a 9-5 job on her own terms and how damaging it can be to imagine what others will think of you.

Lastly, she shares with us that "Action cures fear," so you should take the messy action and live with no regrets!

Dr. Matt Smith has a revolutionary approach to health, healing and maximizing human potential. We loved getting to chat with him about what kind of services he offers his clients and what it's been like opening his own business. Along with his wife, Dr. Monica Smith, the Dr.'s own Rev Center for Optimal Living in Chattanooga, TN. He is a chiropractor by license but has a very different approach than what you typically think of from a chiropractic office. Dr. Matt's focus is really on the nervous system and helping people overcome chronic stresses and challenges that have been built up in their body that are preventing them from living their absolute best life.   Dr. Matt tells the story of how he and his wife came to learn their unique method and what that journey has been like up to this point, including really understanding the nervous system, the bio energetics of the body, how our nervous system processes life experiences, and how they get trapped in our body. He goes on to explain that as we begin to integrate and process those things built up within our body, we can express higher levels of health, well being and vitality. And then learning to be more adaptable, more resilient to the future stresses and challenges that come our way and moving through those things faster.    Dr. Matt not only works with nervous system health, but also with personal growth and development, learning about energy and quantum physics, vibration, and tone energy. We also discuss how this entire world and universe is actually made up in a whole different paradigm of understanding, and how cultivating hope for people can sometimes make the biggest difference.   This was an absolutely fascinating talk and one that has transformed our personal lives in a big way. Send us a note to let us know what you think of this episode!   Connect with Dr. Matt and Dr. Monica online at www.revoptimalliving.com and on Instagram and Facebook.
