The Simplifiers Podcast

Are you looking to generate sales from your social media accounts? Let's face it - things have changed on social media recently, especially through the pandemic. People are using it differently and brands (like yours) also need to approach it differently as well.

My special guest today is the CEO of ManyChat, Mike Yan and he's simplifying how to generate sales from social media. When we strip back the many layers of why people are so attracted to using social media, especially on their phones, we realize one common truth: we all seek connection. Mike presents a compelling argument for why so many small businesses are using social media (completely) wrong these days. But rather… there's actually a simpler way to deepen client and customer relationships on these platforms without allocating more time, money, or effort.

Here's how.

We tackle and simplify all aspects of it, including:

• What's changed with social media marketing nowadays, due to the pandemic or how people use social media now
• Why he believes that Instagram is the one to focus on and build right now
• He defines chat marketing (as in, focusing on DM messaging as a marketing approach)… and how to create a chat marketing strategy that will generate sales
• 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.

We are going strong with our new way of podcasting, splitting the weekly episode up into two parts… so we are going to keep it that way for now!

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.

I know we all are on-the-go these days and our old ways of listening to podcasts (either on our commute or at the gym) have changed since the pandemic began… let us know if you like this new way of listening to The Simplifiers Podcast. 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 buy a house in a post pandemic world. And my goodness, soooooo many people have this as a goal in the next 12 months!

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 Joe DiSanto as he simplifies how to buy a house.

Here's how.

We tackle and simplify all aspects of it, including:

• What the first thing you must do when you start thinking about buying a house
• Which two steps you need to accomplish, well in advance, before you make an offer on a house
• As a small business owner or contractor, how to overcome the challenge of not having W2s for proof of salary with your mortgage lender
• Why it's so important to "do the math" and plan your finances out long-term, including your retirement plan and how to make a start at it
• …and ultimately, when fear comes up in the financial planning work of buying a house, how to calmly and systematically squash that fear with knowledge.

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.

Earlier this week, we shared part one of this conversation, all about how to relax your mind. Now, I'm not talking about numbing out or escaping from the stress and overwhelm but actually getting to a state of peace about where things are at, personally and professionally for you. Is it possible?

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 Peter Russell as he simplifies how to relax your mind.

It's time to simplify…Here's how.

We tackle and simplify all aspects of it, including:

• For many "Type A control freaks," it's hard to let go… Peter shows us a better way, letting in and letting be
• In a culture that glorifies BUSY, how to return to a natural (relaxed) mind, yet still get things done
• What the parable of the rope is and how it applies to our minds
• If we release our thoughts, feelings, interpretations, beliefs and expectations, what's left? What you could hold on to that creates a sense of identity and safety
• …and ultimately, how this practice of relaxing your mind helps to improve your relationships both personally and professionally.

What would it take to relax your mind? Now, I'm not talking about numbing out or escaping from the stress and overwhelm but actually getting to a state of peace about where things are at, personally and professionally for you. Is it possible?

My special guest today is Peter Russell and he's simplifying how to relax your mind. Spoiler alert: it's all about letting go of your mindset as holding on creates tension and unmet expectations. Peter shows us that what we get hung up on are generally not the tangible problems we face in the present… but rather, the thoughts, feelings, beliefs, and expectations that we have about them. This is what trips us up, yet they aren't actual things… they only exist in our mind. So, when we learn to strip them of their power, we relax our minds and gain greater peace of mind, no matter what turbulence might be happening around us.

Here's how.

Earlier this week, we shared part one of this conversation, all about how to reduce anxiety naturally without medication or super expensive interventions. It's all about getting back into nature with mindfulness and awakening into a new way of being.

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 Dr. Rochelle Calvert as she simplifies how to reduce anxiety naturally.

It's time to simplify…Here's how.

We tackle and simplify all aspects of it, including:

• The pandemic has been a traumatic experience for so many - how she defines 'trauma' and why it can cause anxiety as a response in the body
• How getting out in nature can help us process our trauma and what the research says about mindfulness when we are outdoors
• What somatic healing is and a few simple ways we can try it today through breath, sensory, body, and element awareness
• When we integrate these practices, we cultivate a deeper sense of wholeness - Dr Calvert shows us how to do this
• …and ultimately, we learn that by being present in nature, we reduce our anxiety naturally over time… what some pitfalls are that we might experience along the way and how to cope with them when they arise.

If you suffer from anxiety, did you know there are ways to reduce it naturally, without medications? It's no surprise many of us struggle with anxiety from time to time… the news is overwhelming, stress is rising, our adrenal glands are shot, and we've stopped wondering when it'll get back to "normal" but rather just hoping that life would just CHILL for a second. Girl, I feel you.

My special guest today is Dr. Rochelle Calvert and she's simplifying how to reduce anxiety naturally. Through our conversation, you'll awaken into a new way of being- no longer being held to the reactive and unconscious patterns of past trauma, but rather, learning how to release them by rekindling your relationship with nature once again.

Here's how.

It's time to make BIG Happy Money this week and this episode is going to show you how. I'm pleased to feature another all-star episode from this season that I think you're going to LOVE.

My special guest today is visibility coach Serena Hicks and she's simplifying how to make BIG Happy Money. She believes that you determine the energy in your world… and when you do, the world reflects it back to you. So, if that were the case, it's a matter of being open to receiving BIG Happy Money, carving out time to refine your pricing model, and having the courage to step up into your new, expansive self. It's all waiting for you right now, it's yours for the taking.

Here's how.

My special guest today is Serena Hicks and she's simplifying how to make BIG Happy Money.

We tackle and simplify all aspects of it, including:

• How she defines "BIG Happy Money" and where the concept originated for her on her own entrepreneurial journey
• The biggest lessons she learned from her past business ventures and money blunders, including the "lobster analogy"
• What the key is to proper pricing, so you can create space for BIG Happy Money to flow to you
• Her top 3 tips for converting more prospects into paying clients on the discovery call
• • take time to connect
  • trust 2 things
  • have absolute clarity and confidence that you can help them
• Why she believes you shouldn't discount your products/services - what that does energetically to you, your client, and your brand, in the long run
• …and ultimately, how BIG Happy Money can simplify everything in your life, in more ways than one.

One thing you'll realize when you hear Serena speak is that it's NOT about the money. It never is.

It's actually all about the story underneath your ISH that is affecting your day-to-day decision making and keeping you stuck. (And hey, for the record, I do it too, at times!)

Serena shows us how to (really) show up, do the inner work and as she says, "play full out." Not in a hustle and grind kind of way… but rather, where you show up and claim your place in the world, doing the work you love. Now THAT'S a life worth living.

It's time to #DoTheThing!
