Whether you desire to write a book, start a podcast, learn to play guitar, or start a TikTok solely focused on the curious life of the common desert centipede, Eric Smith is here to help you turn that want into inspired action.

Eric is a colleague, friend, and someone who has taught me a ton in the year I've known him. I'm excited for you to get to learn from him, too. Join us as he shares his unique perspective on creative inspiration, and how shifting your own mindset can help you move forward on whatever thing you've been wanting to do.

After listening to this episode:
Write yourself a permission slip to suck. Seriously. Grab a piece of paper, a writing utensil, and pen-to-page repeat after me:

I  [your name] give myself permission to suck.
I give myself permission to  try things.
To have fun.
To be curious.
To be free.
To try something simply for the sake of trying it.
I know that the doing is more important than the end result.
And so, I will allow myself to get messy.
Allowing inspiration to arrive in the most delightful ways.

In this episode, I share honestly about my own self-love journey, and how it has transformed my life in the most unexpected ways.

For much of my life, I definitely didn't know what it meant to love myself. In fact, I've spent most of it downright resenting myself: my mind for being so difficult and frustrating, my body for never looking how I wanted it to, my struggles to open up in every relationship.

My difficult relationship with my-self impacted my life in ways I'm still unraveling, but I've made some great strides. Today, I'm sharing on this topic that came up in the last episode with Erin Ramsey because I know there are others out there who are dealing with some of these things, too. And there are some simple things we can begin to do that can make a huge positive impact for you.

After you listen to this episode:

Ask yourself:
Are the things I'm saying to myself the things I would say to my best friend?

Take action:
Spend one day noticing the thoughts your mind is saying to you, and physically write those thoughts down. When the day is through, journal on the thoughts you intercepted from your mind.

Do you truly love the person whose reflection you see staring back at you in the mirror?

If so, Erin Ramsey is here to help you give that reflection some extra love. And if not, she'll show you the way to true self-love. Because the most important relationship you have in your life? It's the one with yourself.

In this conversation, Erin vulnerably shares how her identity and many of the choices she made in her life were formed by her experiences as a survivor of sexual assault. Today, she shares her story to encourage others to make the bold and brave move to confide in others, ask for help, and eventually, learn to come home to themselves.

Erin is a dear friend of mine, and a beautiful soul. By the time you finish this episode, you'll feel like you have a new BFF (and want to befriend who grandmother, too!)

After listening to this episode, ask yourself:
In what way can I love myself a little bit more today?

Erin Ramsey is the creator of You're Such a Catch. She's a coach, speaker, podcaster, writer, dating guru, master manifester, and hype woman who also happens to be obsessed with the Chargers, fantasy football, lifting heavy, and high ponies.

Through her journey of personal and spiritual growth, Erin strives each day to be a better version of the woman she was yesterday, and encourages others to do the same.

Weird title, I know. But I encourage you to hear me out here. 

Inspired by the guest I had on Tuesday's episode, Chris Heinz, I tell the story of how the trauma of getting my first period on the day I ran the mile in middle school stopped me from believing in my own possibilities – and how that eventually changed.

While it is indeed a story about my period, it's actually a story about the importance of something most of us overlook in our day-to-day life: inspiration.

If you have some kind of wild idea in your head that you want to do, Chris Heinz is proof it's possible. Chris set a goal to run for 24 hours straight, which he is going to set out for on October 8, 2022.

Though we've only met in person once, Chris is someone who has had a dramatic impact on my life. He coached me through my first half marathon, and in doing so, expanded my belief in myself in significant ways.

He's absolutely dripping with inspiration, and I know you're going to love this conversation.

Here are some takeaways from this episode:

• Look at everything through the lens of possibility, not impossibility.
• Try something new, and expand yourself just a little bit.
• Are the people in your life serving you, or hurting you? Are you serving them, or hurting them?
• You don't know what a crazy idea is until you put it out there
• Anything can be accomplished in 63 days.
• It's your journey, you get to make the rules.
• Finally – Running can be fun. 

Take Chris' big crazy idea challenge:

• Write your goal down - journal about it.
• Share it with just one person. Ask them, "Is this crazy?" (If they say no, Chris says it probably wasn't big enough.)
• Set an action plan to accomplish it in 63 days.

Is chowder a soup? Is chili a chowder? These are very important questions, but not as important as the question of how to get yourself out of the soup you’re stuck in because you’re not willing to put yourself out there.

In this episode, I share my tips for stepping out and allowing yourself to show up vulnerably in public (virtually or in person) — even though it’s often incredibly uncomfortable. 

All the joy in the world is on the other side of this fear, and it is 100% worth facing it.

How do you stay true to your instincts and commit to doing what brings you joy — in a world where virility and follower gains are king?

Heather Chelan, more popularly known as Heb on the Web, knows first hand how addictive and influential the viral content drug can be. The fun, the fame, and the fear of it all never happening again has led many influencers and businesses down a dark and lonely path. Most of us have had the experience at some point ourselves, even if on a much smaller scale. It feels good to be liked, and feels not-so-good when we aren’t getting the love we crave.

While we have a lot of fun talking about taco costumes, dresses with pockets, the cost of an oat milk latte, and professional colorful hair, Heb also speaks honestly about her social experience, and what she’s done to create from her own heart. We also dip into our own achiever syndrome, discuss the mindset that has helped us break free of the limits an addiction to praise can set on us, and why we should create regardless.

A wonderful quote she shared in the episode that is keeping her moving forward in a grounded way is:

“You can never connect the dots moving forward but you can always connect them looking backward.”

After listening to this episode, journal on these questions:

• How can I better connect with myself today? What do I need right now?
• Am I surrounding myself with people who are helping me let out my inner weirdo? Who are the people in my life who allow it to come out and play?
• What are some moments in my day where I can embrace boredom?

Finding your voice is about uncovering and then untethering yourself from your past and coming home to yourself the present — releasing past experiences that left you feeling silly, ashamed, or judged.

In this episode, I reflect on the conversation with Jeremy de Tolly and share my personal experiences with finding my voice. I also share some of the techniques I use to calm my busy mind, how I bring myself back down to earth when it starts to fly away, and how this can help you share your voice more openly and effectively.

Because when you tune into yourself, your passions start to roll out of you. Creative flow is with you, it’s inside you, it IS you. So when you come home to yourself, you get to tap into it in a whole new way. Finding this with my own voice was such a pleasant and fun surprise, and I hope more people allow themselves to experience it.

Do you identify as a perfectionist?

When you're living a life that has to be perfect, you are welcoming throngs of judgment into your life. Your thoughts about yourself, and therefore your thoughts about your loved ones, your friends, your colleagues, that dude who takes your coffee order – it's all constantly living under the radar of your own spectacular judgmental laser eyes.

In this bonus episode, I share some personal experiences and learnings from my own journey as a recovering perfectionist and judgment Queen (with a capital Q) and my realization of how that lifestyle doesn't allow you to truly be yourself. 

When you let that perfect image of yourself go, all those layers of judgment fall away, and you not only get to be you, but you get to create from the most glorious and divine space. And allow others to do the same. 

If you enjoyed this episode and haven't yet listened to Season 3, Episode 31 featuring Ashleigh Renard, I highly recommend you go give it a listen.

Have you ever second-guessed yourself after closing a conversation? Leaving a meeting? Maybe you found yourself picking apart everything you said, worried you'd looked silly.

Jeremy de Tolly is here on the podcast today to help you understand why this happens, and how overcoming it can help you express yourself in the most radiant, confident, sparkly unicorn way.

As a former rock singer in a popular South African band, Jeremy has taken everything he learned as an expressive stage performer to help other people express their voices to the world.

Whether you struggle to speak up for yourself or if you've ever dreamed of a TEDX talk, this is the podcast episode for you.

You'll learn:

• The things that send us along a negative spiral that shuts our voice down, and how we can begin to release them.
• How to recognize your vocal trauma and how identifying this can help you start bringing your voice out into the world.
• Why we experience a "shame hangover" after leaving a conversation or meeting. 
• How to be be comfortable fun and quirky no matter where we are.
• How to listen to a podcast while scuba diving (okay, not really, but if you figure that out, Jeremy and I would love to hear about it!)

After this episode:

• Begin to journal on your patterns of expression.
• In your past, what happened at home and at school that made you feel safer without speaking?
• What happens at work and in relationships as an adult that makes you feel nervous or uncomfortable with sharing your voice?

Here's the beautiful quote Jeremy shared in this episode: "What appears to be in the way is the way." - Thomas Hübl
