The Simplifiers Podcast

What would life be like if you were to become a BOLD woman? And what does that mean, anyway? For today's guest, it's all about being unleashed, unapologetic and unstoppable.

My special guest today is executive coach Caytie Langford and she's simplifying how to become a BOLD woman. If you've found your confidence got knocked for six lately due to any sort of change, big or small, this episode is especially for you. She's going to teach you how to find clarity, get back on track, and more importantly, remember that your purpose is greater than your fear.

Here's how.

We tackle and simplify all aspects of it, including:

• In her mind, what it means to be "bold" - especially these days as a woman
• What the underlying problems are that keep women from being bold and equally, what the antidote is
• How to cultivate more confidence in our work and lives
• Culture says we must be "meek and mild" - she talks about "acts of rebellion" - what that means and how we can do it in simple ways every single day
• …and ultimately, if overachieving and striving was our old ways of doing things, what a better alternative is to find your calling and take action.

It's another week of our new way of podcasting, splitting the weekly episode up into two parts… We've been getting lots of positive feedback from you on this!

If you haven't heard yet, we are releasing the first half now and part two on Friday this week. That way, the content is in a smaller, bite-size portion for you to listen to now, simmer on this entire week and be intentional with integrating what you learn into your everyday life.

Things have changed with the pandemic, including our old ways of listening to podcasts (either on our commute or at the gym)…and we've listened. Now you get shorter episodes, split into two for simpler learning.

It's time to #DoTheThing

Earlier this week, we shared part one of this conversation, all about how to find your dream home. They say there are a few super key moments in life that are high stakes… getting married (or divorced), having a baby, moving to a new job or city and yes, buying a house. It's the one time you spend a helluva lot of money and you want to do it right.

Now, if you haven't heard part one, go back and listen to that one first. But if you're ready to continue on, let's pick back up here with my conversation with REALTOR Robin McCoy as she simplifies how to find your dream home.

It's time to simplify…

Here's how.

We tackle and simplify all aspects of it, including:

• What the first few steps are to buying a home nowadays
• Why she recommends to her clients to "put their shields up" and how to do it
• When searching for homes, what things you should consider, above and beyond how long your commute would be
• How using "love letters" could work for and against you in the home buying process - you decide based on the pros/cons of writing them
• …and ultimately, we talked about the best practices and strategies you could use to make a compelling offer that buyers will find appealing.

Are you hoping to find your dream home in the coming months? Based on the popularity of a recent episode we did on buying real estate, we're taking the conversation one step further.

My special guest today is REALTOR® Robin McCoy and she's simplifying how to find your dream home. Let's face it… people are on the move right now, houses are getting gobbled up in no time flat, and in some markets, people are totally getting priced out of the neighborhoods they'd like to live in. How do you avoid this and ensure you're not overspending on the dream home you truly desire? Robin has got some solid advice, no matter where you live now.

Here's how.

Earlier this week, we shared part one of this conversation, all about how to be a conscious leader. And it really got me to thinking… I don't imagine that ANYONE sets out to be a horrible boss on purpose, right? Its just we get overwhelmed or maybe feel the pressure of hitting our numbers or maybe there's some interoffice politics that hanging over us all like a stink cloud of yuck. Nobody wants that… here's how to get back to center.

Now, if you haven't heard part one, go back and listen to that one first. But if you're ready to continue on, let's pick back up here with my conversation with executive leadership consultant, Karen Wilhelm Buckley as she simplifies how to be a conscious leader.

Here's how.

We tackle and simplify all aspects of it, including:

• What the three core principles are of a "conscious leader"
• • authentic presence
  • cohesive intention
  • resonant action
• Why you must not only have trust in yourself, but also trust in the here & now in order to maintain a higher vibration of consciousness
• How to develop your skills as a compassionate and decisive leader, both in the "visible and invisible realms" of business
• When mapping out your workweek, how to ensure your daily actions and strategies are connected with your core mission and vision, especially when curveballs get thrown in the mix
• How to create breakthrough momentum in your business that creates positive change and results
• …and ultimately, learn how to inspire collective wisdom inside your organization to leverage new opportunities and positive growth.

What does it take to (truly) be a conscious leader? Raise your hand if you've ever had a horrible boss. Okay, now keep your hand raised if you think someone you've hired or managed before was thinking about you at that very moment!

My special guest today is executive leadership consultant Karen Wilhelm Buckley and she's simplifying how to be a conscious leader. She believes that if you want to develop extraordinary leadership skills, you must become aware of the paradigms that lie behind decisions and actions. And equally, you must learn to evolve those paradigms into updated mindsets, systems, structures, roles, and relationships. When you do this, you and your team are better equipped to tackle big change when it happens, get unstuck, and navigate rough waters with grace.

Earlier this week, we shared part one of this conversation, all about how to use big data in small business. And it's fascinating to hear the feedback on this episode… many of you are thinking bigger picture on the data you've got access to in your business and how when you create a action plan to refine one small challenge (whether it's pricing or target audience or otherwise), you could start to see positive results.

Earlier this week, we shared part one of this conversation, all about how to take your yoga practice deeper. We all know that when we take good care of ourselves outside the office, our work thrives as well. Yoga is one way to get there.

Now, if you haven't heard part one, go back and listen to that one first. But if you're ready to continue on, let's pick back up here with my conversation with Kori Hahn as she simplifies how to take your yoga practice deeper.

It's time to simplify…

Here's how.

We tackle and simplify all aspects of it, including:

• Why she believes it's important to have rituals in your life for your wellbeing
• What role having a yoga practice can play in becoming a more intuitive person and how it can help you through relationship issues
• How she defines a "modern and meaningful life" - especially now
• If your self-worth is having a bit of a wobble, how yoga can help you redefine and realign your identity
• …and ultimately, we do a short session of yoga nidra together (which you too can take part in!) and we'll learn how it could help during seasons of grief, heartbreak, or difficult times.

Would you like to take your yoga practice deeper? If you've ever practiced yoga for any period of time, I bet you've learned a couple of things... it's not about the designer leggings or the cool accessories or a fancy mat.

It's not about the music or the sweat pouring down your body or the temperature in the room. It's not about the weight you lose or the muscles you gain that matters. It's about the practice... and how what you learn on your mat helps you process everything that happens **OFF** your mat, as well.

My special guest today is Kori Hahn and she's simplifying how to take your yoga practice deeper. She believes that this is the secret to creating a truly meaningful life.

Here's how.

Earlier this week, we shared part one of this conversation, all about how to generate sales from your social media accounts. And it seems we hit a hot topic as y'all have been all up in my Instagram DMs!

Now, if you haven't heard part one, go back and listen to that one first. But if you're ready to continue on, let's pick back up here with my conversation with Mike Yan as he simplifies how to generate sales from social media.

• How to track the metrics to ensure your efforts are converting social media fans into paying clients
• …and ultimately, if you're feeling like, "ugh… not another new thing to learn!" - here's how to overcome any resistance to learning new technologies.

Yet once again, we're trying something new this week, splitting up the episode into two parts. So we are releasing the first half on Tuesday and part two on Friday. That way, the content is in a smaller, bite-size portion for you to listen to now, simmer on this entire week and be intentional with integrating what you learn into your everyday life.
