The MarketWELL Podcast with Mikayla Victoria

Do you seek more calm in your life? Does the family and work grind leave little time for sitting by the fire and going on long walks? Did you just roll your eyes at even thinking of having the time to sit by the fire and go on long walks?

My guest is Brynne Krispin who takes her Scandinavian roots seriously! She grew up hearing stories about her Swedish and Norwegian ancestors - chopping wood, taking in the panoramic views of the fjords, fishing on the Baltic Sea, feasting on lefse and steaming pots of Swedish meatballs. She idealized the life they lived and started to believe such an idyllic life was simply unattainable in today's society, especially not in a tiny apartment in a major U.S. city.

But what if it could be? She and her husband began asking that question when we hit a moment of desperation about six months after their son was born. Maybe the simplicity of the life they idealized could be implemented anywhere. Maybe it wasn't about living in a quaint cottage on their own land, but rather about intentional living. Now she sets out to create hygge wherever she finds herself.

Check out Brynne's book recommendation, The Little Book of Hygge: Danish Secrets to Happy Living by Meik Wiking.

What is the line between oversharing and being vulnerable online?

What is the key to unlocking our business AND ourselves?

How do we come to terms with our shame?

Who should have the right to hear our story?

Do you love Brené Brown?

If you want to know the answer to these questions or simply love Brené Brown, then this episode is for you.

My guest today is Byrdie Funk. Her passion is helping women overcome what keeps them small. She's a Certified Daring Way™ Facilitator (CDWF) and a Registered Professional Counsellor (RPC) in private practice and online.

Byrdie wants to help people learn how to look at themselves in the mirror and actually LOVE who they see looking back at them. She wants you to feel good about who you are and what you stand for and engage with the world around you from that place!

She's so passionate about it because there was a time, where she didn't like who she was. She had few hopes and dreams and was afraid of failing that she never bothered. And then she found Brené Brown's work and learned the tools that she needed to live out her newfound life.

She learned how to be herself; she learned how to be all in and what it means to live a BRAVE life; she learned how to get back up when she fell.

And now she's excited to share this life-changing work with you!

Byrdie brings it in this conversation and I guarantee you'll get actionable takeaways from this episode.

Byrdie's book recommendation (and one of my all time faves): The Gifts of Imperfection by Brené Brown.
