The Wild Ones

In episode two of You're So Bohemian Podcast I interview Lisa Harris, who empowers women through her projects including Unveiled Beauty and Fashion meets Poetry. In October, I will be one of the featured speakers at her Unveiled Beauty: Cultivating You! event in Minneapolis and Lisa turns the tables and interviews me about why I was drawn to share my story at her event.

This episode begins with Lisa reading her poem True North. She goes on to share her personal story about "uncovering her most powerful self" and discusses the power of owning the entirety of our story.

In my last interview (a year ago) with Lisa, we discussed the dynamics behind Lisa presenting her own story at Unveiled Beauty: Cultivating You! for the first time. She had created such a wonderful showcase for others, but hadn't stood in the spotlight herself. After her presentation, she reflects on the vulnerability her speakers felt, the transformative healing power of the event, and how speaking from experience changes everything.

In the last year, Lisa has come to see the purpose of these events very differently and believes they offer something very unique in the spaces of Women's Empowerment. The raw vulnerability of these presentations makes both the speakers and the audience more active participants in empowerment.

Like so many great projects, Fashion Meets Poetry, began with a time of personal difficulty and then transformation. Lisa was working a corporate job and raising two kids when she decided to "get quiet," take a step back and begin writing. Her poetry connected her to herself and got the ball rolling. She reflects on a period in her life that could be called a "mid-life crisis" but she now understands how at age 36 she found it incredibly important to address experiences she had suppressed for twenty-five years.

We have a very candid discussion about self-care including priorities and building capacity to move to the next phase. Currently, her journaling and poetry play an important role in her self-care.

When Lisa asked why I was attracted to Unveiled Beauty: Cultivating You! I realized that we share a common mission: helping women find their voice. As I've crafted my speech I've realized there are elements of my story I haven't shared so publicly before and I'm ready to integrate my past. Unveiled Beauty is currently expanding the wholistic training it provides speakers in connecting to their own story, writing, and public speaking. It will be exciting to see the next evolution!

If this podcast has inspired you to participate with Unveiled Beauty as a speaker or audience member, Lisa shares the qualities she is looking for in applications.

Today I am honored to welcome my first guest to the show Kristin Meekhof a resilience and gratitude expert.

Kristin is a speaker, writer, and author. In 2007, when Kristin Meekhof was 33, her husband (a teacher and veteran) of four years was diagnosed with advanced adrenal cancer. Approximately eight weeks later, he died. They had no children together and she was very much alone in her grief.

Kristin wrote about the healing power of gratitude for the Live Happy book and is the co-author of the best- selling book "A Widow's Guide Healing".

Kristin shares her amazing journey of loss and how she turned it into gratitude and healing. Her experiences with grief made her into a brighter, more resilient person. She used her wisdom and created a safe space for women to learn, connect, and share with each other. Kristin shows us that healing after grief is possible.

What I love about our conversation is Kristin doesn't hold anything back, she is vulnerable and honest.

In this episode, . . .

• Shares her wisdom to begin healing
• Her surprising social media chat that led to Deepak Chopra becoming her mentor
• The thread that ties all grieving widows and it's not what you think

Kristin also explains her tried and true methods for dealing with grief. By meditating, writing daily gratitude lists and channeling her energy into something powerful and good, Kristin was able to heal.

If you are grieving over the loss of a loved one or have been through something traumatic, Kristin's story will show you that you are not alone in this. If you are lost, you can still be found.
