For many of us, taking action can feel like an uphill battle, even if we’re motivated or inspired. The weight of uncertainty, fear of failure, and the allure of procrastination often paralyzes our best intentions.  It’s a common struggle to transform a thought into some sort of tangible action.  In my own life, I have found simple steps to take that help me actually get started.  What I am sharing with you today: How to take action (it’s not just about creating an attainable first step) The three steps that help us make things happen How to keep going!

See you next time!   Tweets/Quotes:   Getting prepared is actually its own starting action. If we haven't done that step, then we're trying to jump forward, and it's harder. It takes more - more strength, more initial force, more power to overcome that inertia, and then nobody wins.   There are two deep breaths that are most important. Number one is the one that you take right before you do the thing, right before you take action. The second one is the one that you take after you've started because it lets you know that you survived.   Envision taking the action. Seeing it is going to help you believe that it's possible.  

Something that I hear so, so often goes like this: There are so many things happening all the time and all I can do is just keep reacting. Ack. We don’t want to live like that, right? We want to work toward goals and have direction - we want lives that feel good. So how can we do that amongst all the adulting stuff that keeps popping up? Today, we’re going to talk about momentum.

Not helpful.   It’s an adjustment to start reshaping your goals so that they actually fit into the life that you currently have. And it's a gift.  

We’ve all heard it a million times:   “Work smarter, not harder.”   But guess, what?

Fear. Yikes, right? Fear keeps so many of us from doing the things that we want to do in our lives. We all experience fear, but when we’re going through it, it’s easy to feel alone, and like we are the only one who get stuck in fear’s clutches. So today, let’s get into fear - specifically, the kind of fear that keeps us from taking action on the things we want to do. Let’s talk about: The relationship between fear and procrastination Why beating up our fear doesn’t work 5 steps to get through fear that is blocking your path So join me - you can read, listen or watch!  Resources from this episode: Get this episode's Cheat Sheet!

Tweets/Quotes: Every time you try to fight the fear, all you end up doing is making it more powerful because you're giving it your attention, and everything you pour into it, it is going to give back to you exponentially. Part of what happens with fear is that as we take action towards whatever it is that we're building, it starts to dissipate. There is a better way forward for you, a more loving way forward, and a more sustainable way forward that is so much easier, because you are not pouring all of your energy into fighting the fear. Instead, you learn to work with it, and then on the other side, you actually have energy left to be in your life.  

Oh motivation. It’s tricky, right? We think that if we could just harness motivation, we’d be unstoppable. So how do we do that? How do we make motivation work for us?  And can we start TODAY?!

Your life's purpose is not to white knuckle your way through to some externally defined end result that you are not connected with. Stop making your goals unreachable. Stop it. The moon is not for your to do list. Put it on your vision board if you want to shoot for the moon. But for your to do list - be more reasonable. You cannot out-motivate your capacity, nor can you use motivation to solve a capacity problem.  

You’ve probably heard some advice in the past about consistency, right? Maybe people have told you not to “break the chain” as you’re pursuing a creative idea. Or maybe you’ve heard not to skip even one day when you are setting up a new routine. And maybe you’ve also realized that advice like that can actually get in your way - as in, you miss one day, and figure all is now lost.  So today, we’re going to talk about consistency. Listen in as we break down: What that common advice about consistency gets wrong  Three mindset shifts we can make about consistency My favorite consistency hacks that will help you follow through on what you want to do So join me - you can read, listen or watch!

You can be your own version of successful by embracing your own version of consistency. It's not a second place way of doing things. You can always add on later if you want something fancier. But if you want consistency, make what you are doing stupid simple.  

Hello friends! This week, we are tackling a question straight from my Gentle Productivity Club membership. Here it is:  “Do you think it's easier to be gently productive after years of working to burn out? I love the idea of being soft and gentle with myself, but I'm pretty early in my career and feel like I need to spend my spare time working now and be gentle later.” Such a great question, right?! So in this episode, we’re talking about: Does it ever make sense to hustle now and rest later? (spoiler alert: nope!) The big productivity myth  5 things to think about as we step into gentle productivity Resources from this episode:  You can now also watch Raise Your Hand Say Yes on YouTube!  (and then you can always head back here to the show notes for each episode if you need any extra details like books I talk about or other fun stuff I mention) Additional Resources Ep. 430: Practicing Radical Self Belief (and creating a container of safety for yes) Gentle Productivity Club   Got questions? Or ideas you would like me to maybe talk about here?  Send me an Instagram DM. Or, you can always find me at tiffanyhan.com. See you next time!   Tweets/Quotes: “When we put aside the myth that says working harder equals more success, we can ask ourselves: what do I want to believe about success, about what's possible, about what that success looks like, about what creates it?” “You have to trust yourself enough to know when you need to slow down. Yes, it's going to feel slower, but the quality of what you're able to create is going to be so much higher.” “Remember that you are not even going to be able to call on the discernment that you might need, the faith that you might need, the trust that you might need, that radical self belief that you might need until you slow down.”  

We are back with Part 3 of the pivotal yes series! So first - a quick recap: In Part 1, I talked about the yeses that have made the biggest difference in my life (and how they felt) In Part 2, I talked about how to actually listen to the little whispers that pop up, and how to be with those whispers and begin to understand what they are telling you.  So - you might want to go back and listen to those episodes if you haven’t and yet. And then today, we’re jumping into one of my very tippy-top favorite topics, Radical Self Belief.   Today we’re going to talk about: How Radical Self Belief helps you cut through the noise and clutter of life The 5 pillars of Radical Self Belief How Radical Self Belief helps you create a container of safety  So join me - you can read, listen or watch!

We're creating that container as we take our baby steps.” 6:28 “One of the big secrets that I've learned being an adult is that everybody is making it up as they go. So you might as well play along for yourself, too.”

Oh, that might be a whisper over there. The more that you notice them, the more that you see them, those tiny little whispers - they will get louder.”   ~10:27 “The whispers that are meant for you are going to keep showing up.”

And that's what I want for you.” ~ 19:09 With every yes that you say, you reinforce that you are a person who figures things out as you go, who is brave, who does scary things, who can create a home within yourself so that the circumstances of your life don't determine whether or not you are a success, so that the the results from one thing doesn't determine whether or not you've made it or whether or not you can keep going.

Y’all. You know I love year-long experiments. In 2013, I tried to get 100 rejection letters. In 2015, I did a #postitdaily project on Instagram. In 2017, I experimented with quitting booze for a year. (And guess who celebrated her 7-year sober anniversary on January 4!?) In 2018, I did a #yearoftruthtalks on IG. In 2022, I gave myself a Year of No. And last year, I did Revival. The goals of my Revival experiment were to: release the rules about how things should be done reclaim how I want to show up to everything—my work, my life, my family, my self...all of it reconnect with my wildly-creative self and live the experiment out loud with radical self-belief, delight, curiosity, and intuition as my guides. Soooo, did I do it? Short answer: yes. But there are A LOT of asterisks!  Listen in to hear about all those asterisks, get into why it worked, and what lessons I’m bringing into 2024!  Because we know there's something more to life than the perfectly coiffed, perfectly creative version of ourselves we think we need to be.  Links:  Gentle Productivity Club (open through 1/18/24) Sign up for my newsletter  

What happens when you've been sharing your life online for 18 years, and realize one day that things aren't working? How do you step back from the internets when you're so connected to so many? Is this even allowed? In today's show, I have a candid and insightful conversation with the incredible Elise Cripe. She's been a familiar presence online for 18 years (and has been on this show multiple times), but she's decided it's time for a big shift. She's stepping back from the internet. Indefinitely. And she's talking about it here.  In this conversation, we talk about: + why Elise is making this change (including a look into the money piece!) + how long it took her to go from *hungry for change* to actually making it + what she's most looking forward to, once her life-online break starts This is an in-front-of-the-change conversation that we don't normally here, especially when showcasing the Afters is so popular! Settle in, and enjoy!  Links & Show Notes: Elise's links: Blog | Instagram Elise's Get to Work Book: Site | Instagram Connect with Tiffany: Get the newsletter | Site | Instagram

Welcome back to The Tiffany Han Show! This podcast has been a 9 year journey, and today I'm sharing why I took an 8-month hiatus from the show. Dive into what I've learned about healing, patience, and self-care during this hiatus. We'll also explore the concept of healing as a non-linear journey and the dangers of rushing the process.  And finally, you'll hear about future of The Tiffany Han Show, including what's in store for upcoming episodes (and why I can't promise weekly episodes quite yet). Remember, healing is not a race; it's a deliberate and often slow process that always takes longer than we think it should. Have faith.  Thank you for joining me today, and I can't wait to continue this adventure with you on The Tiffany Han Show!

Hey, y’all! It’s been a minute, and I’m back with some updates. In this episode, I’m giving you the lowdown on what’s going on with the podcast, an update on my Year of No, and a preview of what’s on tap for the new year. I’m drilling down into the healing process and why it requires slowing all the way down, and sharing my desire to travel back to a simpler time. Perhaps we can hold on to what worked from our pasts and bring those principles with us into this new year. Listen in to learn how.    Resources mentioned: Get Tiffany in your Inbox! Got a question?

Alright, y'all! All of my best September podcasting intentions got derailed by Covid, Mercury retrograde, and my launch. I'm back today with a scrappy update to share some big lessons I've been learning.  In this episode, you'll hear how my Year of No influenced my decision not to put out an episode now, what happened when we got Covid and how it affected my business, why I'm not freaking out about low launch results, and the huge *5 months in the making* revelation I had last week over a spoonful of Nutella.  Resources mentioned: Psst...Grown-Up Gap Year applications are open to podcast listeners through 10/4!

The Encanto Episode is here! But whether or not you’ve seen the movie, I’d like you to look at the three keywords in the title of this episode: Strong, Perfect, Waiting... Ringing any bells? There’s a reason this movie is so popular, and it’s not just because the songs are catchy as heck. The three Madrigal sisters give us an honest, sometimes gut-wrenching look into our own humanity and the pressures that come with it. Whether you relate to Mirabel, Luisa, Isabella, or all three on any given day, I’m giving you permission to slow down, release the pressure, and just be. Let’s share some magical Madrigal moments on today’s episode of the Tiffany Han Show.  Resources mentioned: RSVP to Tiffany’s Grown-Up Gap WEEK!

Has this thought ever crossed your mind? “I will _____ just as soon as I _____.” (Feel free to fill in the blanks with that thing you really want to do, followed by what you “have to” do.) It’s easy to feel like we have to keep chugging along even when things feel out of alignment, and today’s episode is a reminder that we are not worker bees! We are made of stardust, and we deserve to live in a place that doesn’t feel like burnout—even when there’s a lot to get done. Instead of hanging our hopes of relief on how quickly we can get things done, there is a gentler, more authentic, and meaningful way to move through our days and I want to tell you how. Less bee-ing and more being! Are you with me?   Resources mentioned: RSVP to Tiffany’s Grown-Up Gap WEEK! Get on the wait list for Grown-Up Gap Year Get Tiffany in your Inbox! Got a question?

As ambitious high-achievers, there are certain things we’ve been taught not to say. Instead of four-letter words. I’m talking about phrases like:  I’m dissatisfied with this life I’ve worked so hard to build. I want something unnameably-different from this amazing looking life. I want more. And less. And fun in a way I can’t articulate.  If you can relate, start by taking the bar of soap out of your mouth—there’s no shame in feeling what you feel. Today I’m talking about what happens when we say what’s on our hearts and minds without self-judgment, even though there’s pressure to stay silent and stay grateful—and how to use those unsayable things as *useful* information.

Welcome back for another Year of No Update! I’m addressing the question we’ve all been asking…did giving up social media destroy my business? Spoiler Alert: Nope! That’s not to say things don’t look a little different these days. Listen in as I share exactly how different this year’s Grown-Up Gap Year Early Bird Registration went compared to last year. That’s right. Down to the exact numbers! I’m also chatting about what’s been coming up for me lately, some tricky things my brain is doing amidst the mid-year slipperiness, how social media worked for me last year, and why I might be preemptively thinking about hopping back in…Taking some time to discover what I’m most curious about has got me in full-on experiment mode, and I’m so excited to tell what I’m discovering!   Resources mentioned: Get on the wait list for Grown-Up Gap Year Get Tiffany in your Inbox!

How many times have you forced yourself to power through when you don’t really want to? This week, I’m talking about a recent “I hit a wall” experience of my own when I  reached my capacity and had to choose between two options: I could push through into burnout mode, putting out work I didn't feel great about. Or I could take a breath, give myself a little grace, and look around to see the earth still spinning.  You’ll hear what I did (I’ll be you can guess) and what things I want you to think about if (and when) you find yourself approaching! I also break down the pillars of Radical Self-Belief and how each can help you to slow down, be present, and keep from doing too much damage. A little late for preemptive measures? Don’t worry, friend. I’ve got something for you too. Let’s take a beat and feel a bit more alive, together.  Resources mentioned: Get Tiffany in your Inbox! Got a question? Ask Tiffany!

Welcome back to another Year Of No update where I’m talking all things business! With the upcoming early-bird application period of Grown-Up Gap Year in sight, I’ve been tossing out the formulas and harnessing my energy to have a bit more fun with it all. Sure, the “way things are done” exists for a reason, but if disregarding the rules lights us up, shouldn’t we run with that instead?    Via my Year of No, I’m opting for freaking awesome over fine and ditching the master plan in favor of trusting my energy.. After all, isn’t that what Grown-Up Gap Year is all about? Hint: It totally is. Listen in for the inside scoop on how I’ve been moving through my business differently, how I know I’ve set myself up for “success,” and my hunch as to why my results probably won’t have anything to do with being strategic.  Resources mentioned: Set a reminder for Grown-Up Gap Year Early Bird Access!  Get Tiffany in your Inbox!

It seems like everyone and their mother has something to teach us about “finding balance,” and maybe you think you could get there too if only you could just cross off enough on the to-do list! Today I’m here to burst the balance bubble once and for all, because while we’ve been taught incessantly about what a balanced life should look like, we’ve never been told what it feels like.  What if we scrapped the whole thing? What if we stopped striving for something that doesn’t exist? What if we found a way to light ourselves up in an unbalanced way? Do we dare find harmony in a song we can write ourselves? Today I’m sharing some helpful tools to do just that.  Take a deep, centering breath and decide what’s enough. Ready to begin?

Warning: This episode contains uncomfortable and necessary truths that will ultimately set you free. Today we're talking guilt, doubt, and the myth of “enoughness.” None of these plagues are going anywhere, anytime soon. AND  we have the opportunity to tap into DFSTAG to take those initially wobbly steps toward strutting into a life we so desire.   More good news? You’re not alone. We’ve got a LOT of unlearning to do, but we get to do it together! I’m going to clue you in on the tools to help dig deeper, the questions to ask for clarity, and even throw in a history lesson on why breathing is an important place to start.

If committing to a year of no was me planting a seed, I can now say that some very exciting (and pretty unexpected!) developments have taken root! I’ll get you caught up on how my Year of No is going, share what’s surprised me the most, and talk about my confirmation that a “Week of No” or a “Month of No” would never have worked for me.  I also re-cap last week’s Bake-Along experiment, my delicious live chat about trying something new while simultaneously trying something new! So meta.  Oh, and this whole episode is a great reminder that life is so much more delightfully exciting when you proceed in faithful surrender—without knowing the outcome.  Tune in to hear what I learned, and all that’s coming around the bend!  Resources mentioned: Got a question?

Relax your shoulders. Unclench your jaw. Today we’re talking surrender. While the word itself may summon images of everything from a day spa to a white-flag failure, I’m here to drive home the facts:    It’s not a walk in the park. It is NOT the same as giving up.  You cannot “achieve” your way into it.    What you can do is join me today with an open mind and a willingness to explore some new perspectives around infusing a little surrender into your everyday. Let’s see how much more fun we can have when we loosen our grips and toil a bit less.  Resources mentioned: RSVP for a conversation & Bake-Along with Tiffany!  Schedule a pitch-free chat with Tiffany!  Got a question?

In today’s history and linguistics lesson, I’m getting to the root of the un-influenced life and how best to find our way there. Who are we when we’re not being influenced? How can we find our way out of the rabbit hole when we’ve forgotten our discernment? Who is actually making the daily decisions in our lives?  After that, we’re talking “Slingshot Effect” and how to best utilize it on our journey back to ourselves. So let’s slow down to make progress. Let’s get quiet to find our voices. And let’s become fluent in the language of ourselves. This episode is like one big exhale. Breathe in with me and let’s begin.  Resources mentioned: Schedule a pitch-free chat with Tiffany!  Got a question? Ask Tiffany!

Today I’m diving into the idea of “living your best life.” Usually, this phrase is followed by a list of items we have to buy or a checklist of tasks required to reach that coveted place. But how many cashmere blankets does it take to get to your best life? Why does it seem as though the to-do list keeps growing no matter how effortlessly we check things off?  And what might change for you if you embrace that idea that your best life is already here?  Maybe I’ve piqued your interest. Or perhaps you’re appalled at that notion…either way, I promise all will be explained in today’s episode. Join me to find out what it means to say that your Best Life is here, today, while embracing radical self-belief and the 5 pillars of DF-STAG. Fear not, toxic positivity is not part of the equation. Let’s take a break from all of this powering through and greet our best lives together.  Resources mentioned: Listen to Ep. 393: Becoming Untamed, Real Self-Care, and Changing Your Mind with Glennon Doyle Listen to Ep. 394: CATEGORY-SLIDER, GREATEST HITS, PODCAST, SPIRITUALITY Everything is Spiritual and Apocalyptic Hope with Rob Bell Got a question?

This week on the Tiffany Han Show, I’m back with an update on my “Year of No” project, including all the ways I’m now saying “YES!” I’m also letting you in on my personal experience, especially during such turbulent times, living beyond the lens of social media. Spoiler alert: Instagram was costing me more than I realized.  I’ve been asking questions, following my curiosity, spirit tending, and even sitting in emotions I might have scrolled away from in the past. It’s not always easy, but living in this experiment feels pretty darn good. I’m also announcing a BIG change coming to the podcast!

This week, I am thrilled to bring you my conversation with Eve Rodsky about her new book, Find Your Unicorn Space: Reclaim Your Creative Life in a Too-Busy World. Eve has been called “the Marie Kondo of relationships” and is the best-selling author of Fair Play in which she used her Harvard Law School training and years of organizational management experience to create a game-changing approach to helping partners rebalance the domestic workload between them.  In her new book, she has created an inspirational guide for setting new personal goals, rediscovering your interests, cultivating creativity, and reclaiming your Unicorn Space…or the active and open pursuit of self-expression in any form, which requires value-based curiosity and purposeful sharing of this pursuit with the world.

This week, we’re talking about a few beliefs that are standing between you and your radiant, Technicolor life, and why I want you to practice kicking them to the curb…starting now…with a ton of grace. Many of these beliefs are rooted in systems of oppression that influence so much about our lives, so while the beliefs won’t dissolve overnight, we can take the first steps away from them together. It all starts with awareness.  Not only will I be tackling these limiting beliefs, but I’ll also share how to prepare for the inevitable resistance that shows up when we try to live with more ease in our lives. Is that little voice your intuition or something else entirely?

When it comes to inspired life design, it’s very easy to focus on the things we’re doing (or not doing!). This week, I’m inviting you to go deeper and consider instead the stories you might be telling yourself about whatever’s been going on. More often than not these stories are packed to the gills with judgment. Our well-meaning but unhelpful brains are doing their best, but needless to say, it may be time to get mindful of the power these stories hold over our lives.  In today’s fun-sized episode I’m giving you a helpful exercise to create space between your brain and the living stardust version of yourself. Three simple questions will help to tap into a deeper level of awareness where DF-STAG is sure to meet you!  Resources mentioned: Got a question? Ask Tiffany!

Month one of my “Year of No” is in the books! As promised, I’m kicking off the first monthly check-in with a behind-the-scenes look at how it’s all feeling so far.

Listen in as I reveal my full list of no’s for the new year, the criteria I’ve set for saying no in a way that supports a life led by my values, and what I’ve learned from a month away from social media.

Welcome to Part 2 of the LIVE 400th episode Zoom party where I open up the floor to questions about 2022 “My Year of No” and giving up social media for a full year (or…forever?). Join me and members of the audience as we question and answer what this shift is going to mean for me, how to say “no” in a way that’s expansive, and what happens when it’s eventually time to say “yes.”  Is this a big ole change? Yup. Is there a possibility of “failure”? Totally! Am I taking this opportunity to experiment with ways to open my life up to more moments of joy and magic? Absolutely.

Join us as I take a look back on my transition from “Raise Your Hand Say Yes” to 2022: My Year of No!  This year-long project begins with perhaps one of the most daunting “no’s” of all, and that’s NO social media. For the entire year! Listen in as I explain why I’m taking my year-long social media hiatus, how I’ve prepared, all the things I’m afraid of, and a handful of other no’s I’m embracing along the way.

It’s that time of year again! In today’s episode, I’m revealing my phrase for 2022, and how I intend to harness its power in the new year. While past years of this practice have been more helpful than others, now more than ever feels like the time to plaster mantras on the walls that inspire us to find a little more magic in every day.  I’m also talking about all things change and how to navigate it. Join me in taking a pause to consider if the discomfort and danger we feel is truly a threat to us, or simply to the way things used to be.

In episode 371 I brought some radical transparency with the announcement of my ADHD diagnosis. This week, I’m revisiting that diagnosis with an update of everything that’s changed since and how my journey has gone! From my sleep, productivity, and anxiety, to my journey with medication, it has been an eye-opening few months and I’m excited to check in on where I am now. Other things I dive into include: How do we create a new normal, with ourselves and our loved ones, after a diagnosis like this? How do we acknowledge the truth of our struggles, without feeling as though we’ve been fooling everyone? And how do we find strength in saying the vulnerable things out loud? I’m addressing these questions as well as the questions YOU asked on Instagram in today’s episode. Listen in and join the conversation.  Disclaimer: This is my personal journey and NOT a decree on how things must be done.

Hello friends. Just dropping in to let you know that I am taking a two-week break! Feel free to dive into the archives for some inspiration and perhaps take a little break of your own. See you back here on November 2nd!

I am so thrilled to be speaking to  Adam J. Kurtz (aka Adam JK) on the podcast about his new book, You Are Here (For Now), a collection of essays and art about life, and change, and you, and me, and all of us trying to just be more okay. Let me say I devoured this book and had room for seconds it was so good.  Tune in as Adam and I discuss the difference between living and truly being alive with all the paradoxes along the way.  If the pandemic has taught us anything it’s that we both have a lot of time and we don't. We know enough and also don’t have a clue. Nothing is permanent and if you’re evolving you’re doing something right, but being busy is not a personality. Like I said, paradoxes abound. Let’s get more comfortable with it all together in this amazing interview.  Resources mentioned: Learn more about Adam JK Read You Are Here (For Now) By Adam JK  Follow Adam on Instagram  Catch Adam on Youtube Follow Adam on Twitter Get Tiffany’s free Radical Delight Kickstart Follow Tiffany on Instagram   For detailed show notes head to www.tiffanyhan.com/blog/episode390

On this particularly inspiring (and particularly vulnerable) episode, I’m so pleased to have chatted with Pulitzer Prize-winning investigative journalist and the author of The Power of Habit and Smarter Faster Better, Charles Duhigg! Together we drill down on what it takes to say “Yes!” to the changes we’d like to make in our lives, knowing where to start, and the role belief plays in all of it.  Turns out there’s a big difference between setting a goal and making a plan! Listen in as I become the guinea pig while workshopping a S.M.A.R.T. plan with Charles, and find out how you can do the same.

In thinking about where to start when it comes to tackling racism and dismantling systems of oppression, it’s easy to feel like any right next steps can feel simultaneously like way too much and not nearly enough. Luckily I had the opportunity to chat with the incredible Rhonda Magee about her book, The Inner Work of Racial Justice: Healing Ourselves and Transforming Our Communities Through Mindfulness, and why mindfulness is the best place to start.  While this may seem like the least radical approach, Rhonda is here today to explain why that’s exactly the point. Get ready to quell your judgments and learn how to work toward racial justice by starting with yourself.

Forget everything you think you know about minimalism and get ready for an education on liberating yourself from the physical and emotional clutter that’s no longer serving you. Christine Platt, author of The Afrominimalist's Guide to Living with Less, joins me today to chat about the true meaning of minimalism, the best ways to approach letting go of what is no longer serving us, and living more intentionally than ever before.  Only holding on to the things you need, use, and love may sound like a no-brainer...until you look around at the give or take 300,000 (that’s right) objects in the average home. What’s the harm in overconsumption? Think time, energy, and the emotional labor you could be imposing on future loved ones. I know this sounds like quite the undertaking, which is why I’m so glad Christine is here with us today to prove how attainable a mindful life with less can be.   Resources mentioned: Read The Afrominimalist's Guide to Living with Less by Christine Platt Learn how to work with Christine,  The Afrominimalist Follow Christine on Instagram Join Tiffany’s Grown-up Gap Year!  Get Tiffany’s free Radical Delight Kickstart Follow Tiffany on Instagram For detailed show notes head to www.tiffanyhan.com/blog/episode387

Ah, productivity. The finish line we’re sprinting towards that stretches ever farther away the faster we hustle. Here’s the truth: We’ve been sold a raw deal on productivity and time. “Managing” our time stifles the magic of being alive! Today I’m calling out my fellow Super-Doers with a reminder that you can trust yourself.  Listen in as I reveal the lesser-known impacts of stress, how our current relationships with time can exacerbate them, and break down the 5 Pillars of #RadSelBel in relation to how we’re approaching our time and our lives. Ready to start living from a place of joy and delight instead of obligation? Sounds like it’s time for a Grown-Up Gap Year.

Time for some RADICAL transparency: my impulse (note, impulse) was to ask myself today if talking about #RadSelBel and Grown-Up Gap Year even mattered when it felt like so many hard things were happening around the world...until I saw a tweet that reminded me of why I do what I do.  Today I’m offering the warm reminder that it’s okay to feel both rage and hope. That #RadSelBel helps us slow down and bring even more of ourselves to a world that desperately needs it. Being in touch with our creativity helps us solve problems, no matter what lane we’re in, and making space for that is more important than ever. Take a deep breath and listen in for the permission you’ve been waiting for.

You may have noticed quite a few ch-ch-changes around here lately and today I’m opening up about all of them. Between the retirement of my Inner Circle and the birth of my new program, Grown-Up Gap year, I certainly stopped to wonder at times what all this change was for. After all, why fix it if it ain’t broke, right?  Wrong.  I’m taking a page out of my own book and getting curious, moving intuitively, and stepping into change from a place of love and not obligation. I’m approaching these changes with the same spirit I plan to instill in Gap Year, which is not about pulling out of life and obligation but showing up to everything in a new way. Listen in to find out how it’s all going down and why Grown-Up Gap Year might be exactly what you need.

Today we welcome back author, speaker, and life coach Andrea Owen!  Together we chat about Andrea’s newest book, “Make Some Noise” and what it means to step forward in life, not necessarily with confidence, but with the conviction that you deserve to take up space, raise your voice, and well...make some noise! We also dissect the importance of unlearning all that we’ve been conditioned to believe, particularly as women, and the four steps that will help you on the way.  Healing through trauma, feeling fulfilled, and finding happiness is possible for all of us, but as Andrea says, “If you want to change your life, you have to actually change your life.” Listen in for some game-changing advice and places to start.  Resources mentioned:  Get on the waitlist for Grown-up Gap Year!

Who would I be if I stopped being a “Good Girl”? This is the question on my mind after today’s prolific chat with Majo Molfino, coach and author of “Break the Good Girl Myth: How to Dismantle Outdated Rules.”. Together we dissect the “5 Good Girl Myths” and the importance of dispelling them in your own way. Toppling the patriarchy is a tall order made even stickier when we learn that the patriarchy lives within all of us. Majo and I speak at length about the sneaky and often invisible impacts of the systems we’ve all been born into. It’s time to take responsibility, to own the friction, and unlearn the thoughts and behaviors holding us back from our most radiant Technicolor lives. Where to begin?

Today I’m putting my money where my mic is and revealing exactly how I’m walking my walk when it comes to living a life grounded in radical self-beleif (#RadSelBel!). Slowing down to engage in the life-long practice of what I preach is less about the BIG DECISIONS to make change, and more about the daily baby steps we take to flip the script, prioritize our values, and give ourselves permission to live in wonder.  Disclaimer: What works for me may not work for you. In fact, it may sound like the very last thing you want to do. Remember, there is no correct path towards your most radiant Technicolor life! This episode will illustrate my teaching in practice and help to spark ideas for what just might bring a bit of fun and fulfillment into your days.  Resources mentioned: Get on the early-bird waitlist for Grown-up Gap Year!

Whether she is adventuring through the experimental changes in her everyday life or adventuring around the globe, Cait Flanders has created a life led by bold choices. Luckily for us, she has chronicled it all in her newest book, “Adventures in Opting Out” and is chatting with me today about what happens when we reframe our choices as adventures.  The majority of self-help books may assist in inspiring you to make significant changes in your life. They might even detail precisely how to execute them. But then what? What happens when we get the sinking feeling that maybe we made the “wrong” choice? Or when those closest to us don’t understand or respect what we’re called to do. What if life is just fine and yet we feel called to change it anyway? Cut to Cait’s book and today’s episode, shedding light on these doubts and helping to embrace the discomfort that may show up, even when we’re moving in the right direction.  Resources mentioned:  Read The Year of Less: How I Stopped Shopping, Gave Away My Belongings, and Discovered Life Is Worth More Than Anything You Can Buy in a Store by Cait Flanders Read Adventures in Opting Out: A Field Guide to Leading an Intentional Life by Cait Flanders Follow Cait on Instagram Get on the early-bird waitlist for Grown-up Gap Year!

Welcome back to part 2 of this deep dive into the fears and doubts that often pop up when we decide to live beyond the to-do list. I’m adding a few more to the list and reminding you that this is a life-long practice that we can continue to work on together! Why does this shift in perspective take time and support? Old patterns are hard to shake, especially when we’ve been brought up in a society that encourages you to reach for the stars but also to remain humble and grateful for what you already have. Does having the desire to better our lives make us ungrateful for what we’ve got? If you’ve felt the strain of this societal dichotomy, be sure to listen in and find out how we’ll work through this during Grown-Up Gap Year!  Resources mentioned: Get on the early-bird waitlist for Grown-up Gap Year!

You’re efficient. You’re a do-er. So naturally, you’ve got those standard fears pretty much covered, at least enough to get through the day and your to-do list. You know the ones...fear of failure, fear of success, fear of change, the list goes on and on. Well, today I’m going to talk about a different set of fears, ones that you might not even realize have been massively getting in the way of your most radiant Technicolor life.  So what’s on the other side of ambition? What if this is not as good as it gets? What do you truly need today, and what if you had the AUDACITY to start asking yourself?

When it comes to Radical Self-Belief (heyo #radselbel!), I’ll likely still be talking about it in another 375 episodes. However, I have a sneaking suspicion I’m not alone when I say it’s easier to talk the talk than walk the walk. Today I’m bringing you the five pillars of radical self-belief to make it just a touch easier to lace up your sneaks and take the first step towards your most technicolor life.  Gear up for the glory and the discomfort, knowing you can rely on these pillars to be your foundation along your way.

Welcome to the beginning of the #RadSelBel movement—I’m definitely on a mission to make it a whole thing. This week, grab your favorite pencil case and meet me for a powerful history lesson on Radical Self-Belief and the deeply rooted foundations of why it’s so dang challenging for us to trust ourselves. If this is something you struggle with, you’re not alone, and you’re NOT to blame.  When history class is over, we’ll step back into modern times to talk about what radical self-belief is (oh, and isn’t!) and what it can do for you! Let’s drop into a life that feels as good on the inside as it looks on the outside, and let’s do it together. #RadSelBel  Resources mentioned: Get on the early-bird waitlist for Grown-up Gap Year!

I talk a LOT about this “over the rainbow” technicolor life we’re all aiming for...but what does that actually mean? More specifically, what does that mean for you? Can you live your most technicolor life and still get the laundry done? In this episode, I get real about everything a technicolor life truly is, and everything it’s not.  It’s time to dig deep, feel the uncomfortable feelings, and unlearn so much of what we’ve been taught by a world that values going above and beyond as the bare minimum.

In today’s episode, lovingly dubbed “The Asterisk Episode”, I’m laying down some inconvenient, yet expansive truths about our inconvenient feelings. Let’s exhale into the possibility that we can feel fear and faith at the same time, that we can come to a decision with certainty while still having a few dozen questions to answer, and that slowing down will inevitably spur on momentum.

Nothing complements a tall glass of nostalgia like some freshly baked life lessons to bring along for the ride. This forward-facing episode is about the 7 things that I picked up in my nearly-7-years of making the Raise Your Hand Say Yes podcast that I’m bringing with me into this new chapter of The Tiffany Han Show, and with the help of some inspired determination, my life as well.    We often fear change before the realization dawns on us...“Hey, I’ve actually been changing all along!” Let’s take a step toward being more present and intentional with those changes and embrace a new sense of expansiveness, together.  If you’ve been craving an evolution in your own life or feel like you’re right on the precipice of something different, I’ve got you covered!

Y'all, it's a big day! I’ve been hinting for a few weeks now that my business and my podcast are changing. And the time has finally come: episode 362 is the last episode of Raise Your Hand Say Yes.  Even though my podcast is shifting (I'll meet you right back here next week with a new name and artwork), it will still be me chatting in your ear about the things that are lighting me up and interviewing fascinating people.

Have you ever felt like you're outgrowing (or have outgrown) an aspect of your life? My whole perspective shifted on a FaceTime call with a friend a few months ago. He saw my sad-but-regularly-watered plants in the background and told me that those plants of mine were really unhappy and that even though I was watering them, they still needed food and enough space to grow. This episode is about plants, but it’s also about us—how we water ourselves, what nourishment we truly need, and if the containers we’ve given ourselves are the right ones. It’s all a big ol’ metaphor, of course, and it’s also a precursor to the shift I’m making in my business.

Many of us find ourselves in the middle of a reckoning right now.

Back in December, I asked my Instagram followers to tell me what they wanted to shift in their life in three words or less. One of the answers that really stuck out was this: radical self-belief. Learning how to trust in ourselves and operate in this world from a place of love isn’t a one and done action, but it is so, so, worth it. Listen in to find out how I’m defining radical self-belief and why choosing it day after day can change your life and the world for the better.

This week, I'm sharing about how I recently hit a CEO-shaped wall in my work, what I did once I realized I was tempted to walk away from everything I've spent over a decade building, and why having this "burn it all down" moment was so important.  Aaaaand (spoiler alert: I'm not going anywhere), I'm also talking about the identity I'm moving into as I ditch the CEO title and what the shift means to me as well as the different ways I think it will play out in my work this year!  For full show notes and resources, visit: https://tiffanyhan.com/blog/episode353 Links:  + Join the waitlist for the Inner Circle + Register for my new class, How to Be, happening on February 9 at 10 AM PST Timestamps:  [05:25] Why I’m Choosing “Writer” Instead of “CEO” as My Title [14:24] What the Transition from CEO to Writer Looks Like [31:17] Mindset Shifts I’m Making: My “Instead Ofs”

This week, I'm celebrating my 4 Years Sober milestone with a behind-the-scenes look at some of the things I've learned about myself, recovery, and who I really am. In this episode, I'm sharing the things that I thought I knew about sobriety before I quit drinking but was super wrong about as well as the great surprises that I didn't even know to expect!  And, even if you aren't sober or sober-curious, this episode has a ton of lessons for anything that you might be holding on to in your life. Enjoy, enjoy!

In a world full of people telling us how they can revolutionize our businesses and that we need to leap and hope with all we have that our nets will appear, how can we be so sure that the move we're going to make is The Right One? This week, I'm taking you through my journey (starting Freshman year in college) of so many Raise Your Hand Say Yes career moves that eventually got me to the place of starting my coaching practice, going full time, and starting this podcast. There are twists. And turns. And backtracks. And pivots. As is to be expected by life. But, there was also so much learning - which I'll share as well.  Enjoy, enjoy, enjoy, and remember: you're doing great. You're not alone. Keep going.  What I Said:  "We are meant to evolve, and sometimes we evolve beyond the confines of our current situation." "How to start from scratch? You just start." "You are capable of more than you realize." "If you're on the precipice of something and you feel that nervous excitement, it is okay to take a small step." "Don't let that questioning convince you not to take the step because it's the step that makes all the difference." Those Timestamps:  03:16 - Episode intro... 06:45 - A look back to my college life 17:39 - My first 'official' job 26:50 - The move to San Francisco... and creative discovery 35:31 - Teahouse studio, coaching, and blogging 46:13 - Going full-time with coaching & podcasting

Whether you're ready to dive headfirst into the new year or you're still trying to wrap up the last one, I've got you covered with this episode. We're going to talk about endings, beginnings, and the questions I want you to consider as you think about the start of the year. (And also: wherever you are is beautiful and wonderful. YOU ARE DOING GREAT.) Aaaand in case you need them for reference, here are the questions for you to consider:  *How do you want to feel?  *Where are you finding meaning?  *What's going to bring you peace? *What are you ready to release? *What are you ready to find your way back to? What I Said:  "Beating yourself up in order to live your best life doesn't work." "The thing that brings you peace might also bring with it some temporary disruption." "Transformation hangs in you doing the work to get to the bottom of where you want to be." Those Timestamps:  03:25 - Cycle of consumption - "The Skittles aren't good enough anymore." 08:56 - When (and how often) should you do evaluations 17:01 - Relation of beginnings and endings 21:26 - The idea of embracing grace 26:31 - #1: How do you want to feel? 32:33 - #2: Where are you finding meaning? 37:12 - #3: What's going to bring you peace? 39:37 - #4: What are you ready to release? 40:53 - #5: What are you ready to find your way back to?

What do you think about when you hear the word "enough?" In this episode, I’m going to tackle what I see as two different (and often competing!) realms of being and doing enough and then offer ways to help you redefine the word according to your own standards. (Amen and hallelujah to that, right?!) First: Am I enough? This is all about YOU and how it feels to be you in your life and showing up to yourself.  Second: Am I doing enough? AKA why having a strong value of service does not mean you have to sacrifice your humanity in order to show up for the world.  I also cover the power of your values, self-alignment, the importance of not measuring your worth based on somebody else's standards, and why those tiny little steps are the way to start. Oh! And then I wrap it all up with talk of seeds, harvest, and how to make an orchard with your life.  Things I Said:  "If an idea won't leave you alone, it's a sign that you are the person being gifted with that dream." "Being of service does not mean that you have to sacrifice your humanity." "The only starts that we can make are small starts...one step at time." "Don't let that voice that tells you 'You are not doing enough' keep you from doing anything at all." Those Timestamps:  04:30 - The realm of 'being enough' 14:16 - Reckoning with discomfort 18:14 - The realm of 'doing enough' 21:58 - Values and self-alignment as a compass 25:31 - Who's deciding what you're capable of? 31:17 - The power of small steps 34:46 - The apple seed metaphor Show Notes: Take the Agency Archetypes Quiz Get on the early-bird notification list for the RYHSY Inner Circle Submit a q or topic idea for a future podcast episode

This week, I'm talking about some signs you can look for to show you that you're on the right track and why they might be different than the ones you're currently watching for!  Being on the right track might be creating something new, but it might also be just listening to your longings. And so it’s critical to know whether - “Should I keep going?” or “Should I quit?” – especially if the road feels so rocky. So today, I’m giving you 6 Signs You're On the Right Track – and right track means the things that you want to say YES to... or it might also be the things that you are ready to say NO to. Things I said:  "Having doubts means you are changing your perception and the way you show up." "Pay attention who you are telling your ideas to." "If it is meant for you ,it will keep showing up." "Rocky roads aren't roadblocks. They don't mean that you have to stop. They're just a sign that you are moving forward." Those Timestamps 00:35 – What 'being on the right track' truly means 05:03 - #1: You have doubts 09:50 - #2: It makes you nervous 14:09 - #3: Your inner critic shows up 16:47 - #4: People around you don't get it 22:30 - #5: You're nervous to talk about it 27:33 - #6: You feel an overwhelming pull to move forward Show Notes:  Connect with me on IG!  Take the Agency Archetypes Quiz Tiffany's Website

When was the last time you woke up feeling like you were excited to dive into your day? If you're not sure, you might be suffering from burnout.  In this week's episode, I'm sharing the 12 phases of burnout (as developed by psychologists!) and talking about why I think—as hand raisers and yes sayers—we're especially prone to burning ourselves out.  I'm also sharing one of my favorite super-easy-to-start-using tools for beginning to move yourself beyond burnout. What I Said: "The answer to moving beyond burnout is never that you need to work harder." "If we say ‘yes’ without saying ‘no,’ then we are just saying ‘yes’ to everything, and that’s not going to work" "We often hang out in the early stages of burnout and don’t think there is anything wrong with that." "Moving forward does not mean we have to sacrifice ourselves.” Those Timestamps 04:30 - The 12 phases of burnout 06:35 - Excess of ambition 08:30 - displacement of conflict 09:46 - Denial of problems 10:57 - Getting out of the early stages of burnout 12:25 - Moving forward and chill out at the same time 16:01 - Start practicing a pause 19:11 - Those (entertainment) systems are working against us.

Tell me this: would you avoid anything in the world to feel needy? Do you want to go deeper into your desires but feel selfish in doing so? Are you so accustomed to taking care of everyone else around you that you never have any time left for yourself? Sweets, pull up a chair because this vintage episode with life coach and host of the Needy podcast, Mara Glatzel is going to be balm for your soul. I wanted to have Mara back on early in the Money, Sex, Freedom series so we could talk about how wanting more for yourself in those areas is totally okay and also SUPER ENCOURAGED. And, newsflash: having needs doesn't mean you're faulty or a failure. It means you're human! (WHOA.) Dive in. It's so good. (Mara, thank you. You are a gift.) What She Said:  "It is both essential and normal to have needs." "Having your needs met makes you so much better at everything you do." "If we can't make space for taking care of ourselves then we can't bring a full version of ourselves to anything that we do." "When you lack trust in something, you create a lot of rules around it." Those Timestamps:  02:35 - Core Values Masterclass - Special Sale!!! 06:35 - The Needy podcast... and what it means being 'needy' 15:11 - Honoring and taking care of our needs 22:46 - How to reconcile your needs and your service to people 30:56 - Most loving way to cultivate trust for yourself 37:26 - The beauty of prioritizing your needs - "You're the vessel for the service" 49:32 - Knowing yourself...

I loved talking with Natalie Lue for this week's vintage episode and we covered so much ground, including: habits (and relationships!) that aren't serving you, how to step beyond those well-worn patterns, drama and our addiction to it, and how people-pleasing is actually a manipulation (SAY WHAT?!). We also covered identities that don't serve us, letting other people dim our light, and why having emotional baggage doesn't mean anything other than that we're human. Natalie blew my mind in this episode and I think you'll love it! What She Said:  "Patterns happen when we're living unconsciously, and that means we’re not living who we are." "We're so used to giving ourselves a hard time that we often chase things that deep down we don't want." "Sometimes we want something so badly it feels like a need but it isn't." "People pleasing masks a hidden agenda... Being honest about what our reasons are could be a real game-changer." "Adulthood is about unlearning all of the harmful and unproductive stuff that we pick up along the way." "We have to take the journey and go through whatever we need to experience to learn what we need to learn." Those Timestamps:  04:04 - Recognizing and letting go of old identities, habits, emotional baggage 13:44 - Taming your inner critic and silencing the negativity 19:19 - How to stop people-pleasing and start being/doing you 24:50 - Living with intention, Getting out of that autopilot life 31:06 - The manipulative power of people-pleasing 42:43 - Ways to halt the habit of being hard on yourself 57:45 - Who's deciding what you're capable of?

The big question we're tackling this week in this vintage episode is this: how do you proceed towards the life you want to live when your pesky brain keeps getting in the way with the fear and the doubt and those sneaky impulses? (Related: how do you get yourself to do the things that matter most to you when, in the moment, you just don't want to!?) (Also related: if you experience this, YOU ARE NOT ALONE.) Dig into this week's episode to hear about why I want you to ignore your brain and what to focus on instead!! What I Said:  "We build resilience, confidence, and progress through action." "The answer is not to have it all figured out. It's knowing enough and having the faith to willingly take the next step." "The impulse is not the authority of your life. You are!" Those Timestamps:  04:05 - How to learn not to listen to your "brain" 15:27 - Shrinking the recovery time between the impulse to the fact 24:23 - A commitment to sobriety and recovery 29:31 - How to show up differently...and with integrity 32:35 - Listening to the voices that are of authority in our life

"I'm not good enough. I'm not ready. I don't belong here." These are just a few of the things the Imposter Complex would have us believe (yes! there's a name for that!) and this week I'm thrilled to have life coach and Imposter Complex expert Tanya Geisler back on the podcast to talk all about the Imposter Complex. In this vintage episode, you'll hear what it is, how it shows up, what it means if you experience these things (it's good, I promise!) and how you can move beyond it to get all those things you want for your life (looking at you money, sex, and freedom!). What She Said: "Every great thing that we've ever done has been by feeling that fear and doing it anyway."  "The ego wants to want more than it wants to get." "We have to have areas in our life where there has to be relief—where you can just rest and not have to be the best at things." Those Timestamps 03:27 - What is imposter complex?

Money, money, money! It's uncomfortable and necessary to talk about. This week, I'm bringing back a conversation with my former business coach Lena West to dive straight into the most-uncomfortable parts of the money conversation, including: why we show up the way we do around money, what's beyond the "charge what you're worth" mantra, how to deal with money discomfort (and why it probably won't go away!), why striving to just be nice is bullshit, what happens when the people in your life aren't supportive of your endeavors, how to know what to charge, and SO MUCH MORE!  Lena is all heart and no bullshit and will shake up your beliefs around money in the best way! Enjoy, enjoy!  What She Said: "The amount of money is not the point. It's about what is non-negotiable for you and standing in that."  "Getting to 5, 6, 7-figures in your business isn't a walk in the park." "The money has to have a meaning; otherwise it's just some arbitrary nonsense." "Don't share dreams with people who don't have any... share your dreams with dreamers and doers."   Those Timestamps: 03:49 - Women & Money: Valuing ourselves and money discomfort 13:28 - Why you need to charge and not give it for FREE  20:34 - How to price your worth 26:12 - Practical tips to deal with money discomfort 31:25 - About that 7-figure 'promise land' Show Notes: Connect with Lena: Site | Instagram Becoming by Michelle Obama

Y'all! I'm taking a break! Whuuuuuut? Yes! After over 6 years of producing (at least) weekly episodes for this show, I'm talking a wee break, and in this week's episode, I'm sharing why I'm pausing now, what that's going to look like for the podcast, and how you can take a break as well. Listen this week to find out the practical things I'll be doing during my break (because I have to make it as useful as possible, don't I? lol.) as well as the ways I'm holding space for myself. Aaaaaand you'll get to hear a little bit about what might be coming down the track for RYHSY. A new podcast name?! Maybe, just maybe. WHO EVEN KNOWS ANYTHING ANYMORE??? Oh! If you're already wondering when new episodes will be coming, don't fret! I've got a bunch of my faves queued up for your ears while I'm away!! What I said: "Just because you can keep going doesn't mean you should." "Your break doesn't have to be all or nothing."  "Let 'I don’t know' be normal. Accept it for where you are right now instead of working harder and pushing more." Those Timestamps: 01:55 - Importance of breaks... and why I'm taking one  11:07 - Step #1: Know what you want 20:54 - Step #2: Give yourself permission to do so 23:03 - Step #3: Identify what stays 24:37 - Step #4: Create some structure/tracking  25:29 - Step #5: Stay so curious and be willing to be surprised  29:50 - Step #6: Let yourself be guided Show Notes: Sign up for Tiffany's Newsletter Submit a q or topic idea for a future podcast episode Take the Agency Archetypes Quiz

Have you found yourself down the rabbit hole of social media lately? This week, I'm tackling doomscrolling and looking at how you can take strides towards less social media consumption and why it's important to do so. I’ll be giving things to keep in mind about what social media is giving us these days, practical things that you can do to stop ‘doomscrolling’, why it doesn’t mean that you are bad person spending time in these apps, and the power of setting hard limits and letting go of the ‘all or nothing’ mindset as you regain power over your time.   What I said: "Things start to change when we are willing to tell ourselves the truth." "Setting the boundary is the easy part. Maintaining the boundary is the hard part."  "Be willing to set hard limits for yourself to break the habits." Those Timestamps: 00:48 - Doomscrolling... and social media consumption dilemma 09:05 - Acknowledge what it gives you and pay attention to what it costs you 16:51 - Set a boundary for yourself 19:58 - Commit your time to the things aligned with your values  22:31 - Change your muscle memories (moving/deleting apps) 31:43 - Turn off email or push notifications 33:53 - Buy an alarm clock, set hard limits for yourself 37:32 - Give yourself grace... think beyond 'all or nothing' 40:12 - Remember that being on social media all the time means you're behaving as expected Show Notes: My Sunrise Alarm Clock Hidden Brain podcast: Passion Isn't Enough: The Rise Of 'Political Hobbyism' in the United States Apps + Online Tools for Finding Focus: Forest iOs app News Feed Eradicator Plugin for Google Chrome BlockSite Plugin for Google Chrome

This week, I'm talking about what to do when you find yourself either wanting something to change, recognizing that something's not working, or recognizing that you don't know where to go next. Picking up a thread from my conversation last week with Rob Bell (and his new book Everything is Spiritual), I want to examine the question/prayer/mantra "Now what?" and show how we can work with it to get the clarity we're after. If you're not sure what’s next or still figuring out the next steps in the life that you want, this episode is for you! I share what it means to keep going, how to find clarity, why anger is okay, and what embracing curiosity and grace can bring to your life. What I said: "The reason that I have 336 episodes is I kept going." "Prayer is a powerful tool." "What we need to be aware of is what’s on the other side of anger." "The knowing will lead you to curiosity, and curiosity will lead you to clarity." Those Timestamps 00:35 - What it means to actually "keep going" 04:41 - Why I'm reopening applications for the Inner Circle (but only for 3 days!) 07:52 - The question/prayer of "Now, what?" 14:55 - Recognizing the anger, rage, fire...  19:48 - Living from a place of curiosity and grace 24:46 - How to work with the mantra of "Now, what?"

In his new book, Everything is Spiritual: Who We Are and What We're Doing Here, New York Times bestselling author Rob Bell explores the endless dynamic questions and connections that have shaped his life, providing powerful insight into understanding one's purpose and place in the world. And I am thrilled to be in conversation with him this week. Listen in to hear me and Rob talk about his 11th book (!!), the nature of life, why "looking for" spirit is playing the wrong game, why hope needs to be apocalyptic, the problem with all those ladders we've gotten really good at climbing, and what's important to know about boredom and death. Rob Bell has been one of my greatest teachers and I'm so excited to introduce him to you! PS. Applications for the RYHSY Inner Circle close on Friday 9/25! Get all the details here! What He Said: "The elimination of obstacles, barriers, and discomfort is a recipe for boredom."  "Spirit is often lurking in whatever you most dislike."

We also talk about her experience in the Inner Circle (applications are now open!), so if you're curious about what's available there, have a listen! What She Said: "I want to be as uncool as possible." “Nobody acknowledges how much time content takes to create”. "What are those stories that aren't told?" "Make it human." “The value comes from people who are not like us.” “Get lost on purpose; there are multiple ways to reach a destination.” "Drawing on a banana is the new standard." "Be ridiculous."

I am so excited to be talking with one of my current Inner Circlers Gillian Freeman, of Pen & Thimble, this week! Gillian creates handmade, eco-friendly products for her business and is a busy mom of 2. In this episode, we talk about her experience in the Inner Circle, what brought her to the work, what she learned about pausing and taking breaks, and why she didn't really believe that what's happened for her was possible (but it was!). We also talk about how things changed for her along the way, why she's taken up a new hobby, and where she's looking next. Applications open Monday 9/14 for the next round of the Raise Your Hand Say Yes Inner Circle (we start October 1!) and if you're wondering if it's a good fit for you, Gillian's story will be helpful so you can see what's available!

Yes. Raising your hand and saying yes to what you want for your life is going to require time and energy. And you might have precious little of it (hey! There's a free challenge for that!). But this week, I'm talking through all the things that not following through on what we want for our lives is costing us.   And what I know is that it's time for us to shift our standards of what's acceptable. To stop letting doubt make our decisions. To take a stand for what we want even when circumstances are less than ideal.   Overcoming inertia will always be a challenge. It will only get harder the longer you wait. And those things keeping you up at night? They aren't going anywhere. So what would happen if you started investing in yourself. (Yes. Even right now.)   In this episode, you'll hear me talk about helping you set a foundation of being yourself in your life. Showing up to everything as the single version of you. Living on the outside as who you know you're ready to be on the inside. It's bold and brave and beautiful. Let's go.   What I Said:   "Your pre-COVID life was too much. No wonder you don't know where to put yourself right now."   "Continuous improvement is not your life's purpose."   "Staying where you know you don't want to be is never going to help get you what you want."   "I'm asking you to step into simultaneously easing up on yourself and holding the entire world to a higher standard of what's okay and acceptable."   "Long-term stress is killing us."   "Extreme dissatisfaction can be an impetus for change."   "The resistance keeping you still is only going to get louder the longer you wait."   Those Timestamps:   04:57 - The unseen cost of not saying yes to yourself   13:36 - Knowing when to start looking for something else 20:04 - Extreme dissatisfaction and overcoming resistance  29:17 - The power of rest and slowing down 35:36 - Taking a step closer every day 38:35 - Are you playing the game you want to win?  43:31 - How to start making your shift   Show Notes:   RSVP for the free September 8-10 Choose Yourself Challenge   Submit a q or topic idea for a future podcast episode   Take the Agency Archetypes Quiz

This week, I'm kicking off Season 8 with Glennon Doyle! Glennon is a New York Times Bestselling author, an activist and thought leader, and is the founder and president of Together Rising, an all-women led nonprofit organization that has revolutionized grassroots philanthropy – raising over $25 Million for women, families, and children in crisis. In this conversation, we talk about Glennon's new book Untamed (it's ESSENTIAL READING y'all!), and cover the following: doubt, faith, what's required before you can really take care of yourself, how to consider what the most true and beautiful version of your life is, why permission to change your own mind is critical, and how you can find your own "there she is" moment. What Glennon Said: "May our dreams become our plans." "Faith is a belief in the unseen order of things." "It's impossible to take care of yourself and your family if you don't first untame." "There is no construction of the new without destruction of the old." "The goal of family is to create a community where everybody gets to bring their full self to the table." "Truth is kindness even if it makes people uncomfortable." Listen to Learn: 08:09 - Living the truest most beautiful life (and how this is available to everyone) 14:38 - Believing in the unseen order of things and how to hold onto that faith when things feel rocky 18:29 - How Glennon deals with doubt (yes! She has it too!) 22:46 - Permission to change your mind and why it's a hard thing to think about 27:50 - Living an 'untamed' life (The cheetah story) and how we're thinking of our goals all wrong 36:47 - Overcoming the fear of rocking the boat 46:39 - How Truth-Telling the truth is kindness 54:14 - Finding that 'there she is' moment (and how it might be different from what you think!)

Do you need rest or to work harder? Should you focus on your end goal or stay present to what you need right now? Is what you're doing too much or not enough? This week, I'm diving into how learning to live within contradictions instead of either/or thinking can help us both more forward towards our goals and feel better within our days. What I said: "Step into the breadth of everything that is in the IN-BETWEEN instead of thinking about things as EITHER-OR." "The point of having goals is to help you decide your very first step of action, not put you on a forever-path." "Building relationships with people does not mean that you have to sacrifice who you are." "Maybe it's the all-or-nothing thinking and not your failing as a human that's keeping you stuck."

This week, I'm releasing the audio of my recent How to Have the Life You Want training (click here to get the video replay and catch the slides!).   You're just 10 quick and easy steps away from the life you want!! That's how this works, right? Instead of promising formulas and rules, in this training, I cover 10 different guidelines, perspectives, and tips to help you figure out your own next steps towards the life you want, not the one the rest of the world thinks you should have.   Freedom. Connection. Ease. Faith. Grace. I want all of those for you every single day. Let's get going.   Things I Said:   "The small things count just as much as the big things."   "You've got to be willing and able to let yourself be human. You're not a ROBOT."   "It is not your life's purpose to deny your humanity in honor of your ambition."   "We don't have to overperform our way through our days to have the lives that we want."   "Grace is that ability to get it wrong, learn, and keep going."   Those Timestamps:   05:14 - Overview of How to Have The Life You Want 08:45 - A little bit about me...

This week, I'm answering a listener question (hi Susan!) about how to embody and live into one's values, but I'm also taking this question deeper to talk about how to get started in bridging the divide between where you are now and where you want to be, even if (and especially when!) that divide feels overwhelming and insurmountable!   I also share how you might be treating those seeds you're planting so unfairly and what to do instead as well as give some personal-for-your-agency-archetype advice for each type. (I feel like I took myself to church on this one; thank you for your question, Susan! It inspired so much!)   What I said:   "When it comes to embodying values, our job is to stay really fluid, nimble, and open."   "If we keep taking steps, those steps might take us somewhere surprising."   "If you are not embodying your own values, you're embodying somebody else's."   "Commit to using your values as your compass even if everyone else seems to be loving some totally-jacked-but-socially-acceptable-enough compass to guide their lives."   "The answer to getting to where you want to be is not to stay where you don't want to be."   Those Timestamps:   06:11 - How to get started with a values list 08:16 - Commit to imperfect and uncomfortable action 12:47 - How small steps can be a game-changer for you 18:17 - Values as a compass 24:20 - Crossing the divide between where you are and where you want to be AND how to approach this considering your Agency Archetype 30:08 - Destruction as an unbuilding   Show Notes: Get on the early-bird notification list for the RYHSY Inner Circle Submit a q or topic idea for a future podcast episode Take the Agency Archetypes Quiz

It's easy to think of destruction as something negative (and thus to be feared). And our fear around it often limits us and keeps us stuck.     Today, I’m showing a different perspective of destruction, one that can be used to embrace it as a way of unbuilding and a chipping away of things as we rebuild our lives.   Tune in as I talk about the power of destruction, when it is a positive thing, how to welcome unbuilding in your life, where to start in the rebuilding and how to have faith in your personal agency. Enjoy!   What I said:   "You can simultaneously be grateful for what you have and want things to be different and better."   "If you live on a tightrope but are always clinging to the edge, you have nowhere to go."    "If we let fear run our lives and make our decisions, the thing that we're most afraid of usually becomes true."   Those Timestamps:   04:19 - The fear of destruction 12:27 - Self-fulfilling prophecy of fear, The limiting power of fear 17:46 - Unbuilding: Why destruction isn't always a bad thing 22:10 - Chipping away and welcoming destruction 27:14 - Faith in your personal agency   Show Notes:   How to Have the Life You Want Webinar replay   Agency Archetypes Training replay   Take the Agency Archetypes Quiz   Get on the early-bird notification list for the RYHSY Inner Circle   Submit a q or topic idea for a future podcast episode   Self-Fulfilling Prophecy of Fear RYHSY Episode   12 Stages of Burnout RYHSY Episode

How do you grapple with uncertainty? How do you find your footing when the only thing that feels guaranteed right now is chaos? How do you step into faith when keeping all your current balls in the air feels overwhelming?   This week, I walk you through juggling the unknowns. We are going to talk about moving forward during uncertainty, decision making and why you need to trust yourself, the value of constantly refilling your well, practicing self-care, and how to find faith amidst the unknown.     And a simple reminder: your job is not to have all the answers. Your job is to have faith.   What I Said:   "It's important that you refill yourself so that you have the energy to fully show up."    "Difficulties don't mean you are doing things wrong; it is part of what shows that you are doing them right."   "There is nothing wrong with not knowing. Stop looking for the absolute Right Answer."   "Faith takes practice (and an ongoing commitment to something you can't see)."   Those Timestamps:   02:45 - How to move forward in uncertain times 13:18 - Decision making, discernment, and trusting yourself 19:59 - The 'absolute right answer' dilemma 24:22 - How to start finding faith in the unknown   Show Notes:   RSVP for the How to Have the Life You Want Webinar   Take the Agency Archetypes Quiz   Get on the early-bird notification list for the RYHSY Inner Circle   Submit a q or topic idea for a future podcast episode

This week, I'm talking all things self-care with Vanessa Mentor, coach, teacher and the creator of Living Unrestrained.  As an advocate of self-care, Vanessa helps people re-learn how to give without over-giving and love without people-pleasing so they can live the life they say they want. In this episode, Vanessa and I tackle sanity and self-care, being fierce in attending to yourself and your needs, pausing and easing, how to reframe busyness into intentional choices, and what it truly means to be generous.  We also talk about how self-care is a radical act that's especially needed right now and flip a few things you might be thinking about taking care of yourself on their head! Episode Quotes: "Self-care is a set of learnable skills that starts with self-awareness." "If you want to help somebody, get yourself together." - Wendy Palmer "True self-care can never be selfish nor indulgent." "By caring for ourselves, we increase our capacity." "Self-care allows us to activate our sovereignty. Every day."

This week, I'm talking about guilt. The guilt of letting people down we try to avoid. The guilt of living out of alignment we try to avoid. The guilt of not doing "enough" we try to avoid. (Yeah. Can you see a theme here?)   In this episode, I'm sharing how to grapple with all of that guilt, the importance of being rooted and grounded in yourself, understanding your core values and what matters most to you, and what it means to live a life in alignment with your values. (And, why, at the end of the day, guilt isn't the most important thing to pay attention to.)   What I said:   "Challenges don't mean it is bad or that you shouldn't be there. Often it means that we are on the right track."   "The moment of guilt doesn't have to define our character."   "When we get grounded in ourselves, we are less likely to live at the whims of trends."   "It is essential that you are aware of your own unique set of core values."   "There is a deeper peace and freedom when we live in a way that is in alignment with our values."   Those Timestamps   02:36 - Summer Learning Lab coming soon 04:26 – Recognize that there's not 100% unbumpy solution  09:38 - The ‘helicopter’ approach to guilt management 14:59 - Get Rooted!

What do you think about when you hear the word "enough?" In this episode, I’m going to tackle what I see as two different (and often competing!) realms of being and doing enough and then offer ways to help you redefine the word according to your own standards. (Amen and hallelujah to that, right?!) First: Am I enough? This is all about YOU and how it feels to be you in your life and showing up to yourself. Second: Am I doing enough? AKA why having a strong value of service does not mean you have to sacrifice your humanity in order to show up for the world. I also cover the power of your values, self-alignment, the importance of not measuring your worth based on somebody else's standards, and why those tiny little steps are the way to start. Oh! And then I wrap it all up with talk of seeds, harvest, and how to make an orchard with your life. Things I said: "Live your life and prove to yourself what you are capable of." "If an idea won't leave you alone, that is the sign that you are the person being gifted with that dream and vision." "Service does not mean that you have to sacrifice your humanity." "If you're measuring your worth based on somebody else's standards it will be impossible to live up to that."  "The only starts that we can make are small starts...one step at time." "Don't let that voice that tells you 'You are not enough' keep you from doing anything at all." Those Timestamps 00:43 - Am I enough? - YOU, purpose, and service 10:35 - Reckoning with discomfort 14:36 - Are you doing enough?  18:20 - Values and self-alignment 23:02 - Stop letting others decide for you 28:53 - The power of small steps 32:17 - The apple seed metaphor Show Notes: Take the Agency Archetypes Quiz Get on the early-bird notification list for the RYHSY Inner Circle Submit a q or topic idea for a future podcast episode

**RSVP for the Agency Archetypes Training on 6/30 at 11am PST** This week, I'm talking about doubt and saying yes. More specifically, I'm going to talk about how, I've shifted from thinking that "doubt means don't" to seeing doubt as a requisite part of the raise your hand say yes process and what it has shown and taught me about living life in integrity and alignment with my values. I also tackle the commonly-heard phrase "If it's not a hell yes, it's a no" and offer a nuanced approach to both that phrase as well as the 5 different yes's I want you to consider, as well as the one that's the most important and easiest to ignore. My goal for this episode is to give you insight into things that get in your way that you can shift as well as some new ways to think about your obligations, priorities, and how what you most want is likely found in what you're most likely to avoid. Episode Quotes "We have to make peace with the doubt and know that it's a part of the process." "The hardest part is how to keep going. The hardest part is how to get back up when you've been humbled." "When we only say yes out of obligation, we are shutting off the flow of spirit." Those Timestamps 04:05 - Finding faith, Making peace with doubts 13:59 - When you stumble, you get back up  21:34 - The 'easy' and 'safe' yeses  26:32 - The 'obligatory' yes 36:56 - The 'OMG!

I am super excited to be bringing Natalie Lue back to the podcast. Natalie is an author, speaker, teacher, and podcaster at Baggage Reclaim Sessions, where she helps people get address all the things - lack of self-worth, habits, relationships - that are standing in their way of living the life that they want.  Listen to my previous episode with Natalie on boundaries, emotions, and the dark side of people pleasing.  (This episode was such an aha moment for me!) This episode was recorded the first week of May, so you’ll hear us talk about the COVID-19 lockdown (and what it has to teach us!), what to do when people are continuously letting you down, what it means to sit in our discomfort, the importance of self-awareness and slowing down before we reach burnout, what our relationships can teach us about ourselves, and how to even recognize what we actually want and need. Nat, you are a gift! Thank you for coming back on the show! Episode Quotes: "Burnout is not just a cause of work, burnout can occur in any area of our life." "We have to learn to read our surroundings and not just live in the past."  "We have to recognize that each of us have our own personal bandwidth that encompasses our emotional, mental, physical, and spiritual health." "The more things that we say YES to that really we don't need to is the less bandwidth we have." "If we are always being all things to all people, we lose that self-connection." "Stop saying YES to things that make you feel like shit." Those Timestamps: 04:37 - Quarantine life reflections, slow down and dodge burnout 14:24 - How to deal with relationship anxiety 24:07 - Self-awareness and paying attention to one's needs 37:54 - Professor Life: understanding life's bandwidth  46:23 - Task numbing and what it means to sit in our discomfort  51:50 - When to say YES and when to say NO Show Notes: Connect with Tiffany on Insta Get Tiffany's newsletter and stay in the know Inner Circle VIP list (for early-bird applications) Connect with NatalieSite | Instagram | Twitter | Facebook Baggage Reclaim Podcast Nat's previous RYHSY episode

This week, I'm tackling a question I get a lot: how do I balance slowing down with the big goals that I have for myself? Do I have to choose one or the other? Short answer: no. Longer answer: there's a lot to consider here. We’ve been programmed to think that BIG is BETTER. The thing is, playing big is often what our ego wants. And it's easy to demand of ourselves that we do ALL THE THINGS IMMEDIATELY. (Which only leads to burnout and not being able to make progress on much at all!) So where do you go instead? What if focusing on playing small is actually the starting place? If you’re someone who feels disconnected to your life, or you feel connected to your life but feel disconnected to yourself, then this one's for you. You'll hear about the value of getting granular with your life, why ‘sitting still’ could be empowering, keeping your focus on the life that you want, self-compassion, and taking bold actions. Enjoy! Things I said: "We can actually get closer to the lives that we want by learning how to play small in order to play big."   "The things that feel small might actually be the most powerful expressions of you and your gifts in the world."   "How we do one thing is how we do everything."   "In the hard moments, your number one job is to stay put."   "The core of the life you want is rooted in your values, personal agency, self-care and compassion." Those Timestamps: 02:00 - You've got big work to do 07:40 - Playing Big vs. Playing Small 15:10 - Getting granular with your life 22:38 - The power of 'sitting still' in hard moments  25:11 - Personal agency, self-care, self-compassion 34:25 - Ditching your "Yeah, But"  38:05 - Go play small, get granular!

This week, I’m joined by Gina Senarighi, relationship coach, retreat leader, speaker, and author specializing in human connection, intimacy, authenticity, shame-resilience, and alternative relationships. Yes. She does a lot and is so smart! Y'all are for a treat this week as we talk about how to live in relationship with ourselves and others, why putting all your eggs in the self-love basket may not be serving you, how to make the changes in your life (that actually stick!) and do the things that you love (even if you're not sure where to start!), what self-alignment at home and at work looks like and why pleasure is essential -- but shouldn't feel like a daunting endeavor. Enjoy, enjoy! Things that were said: "It's the micro changes that we make that builds whatever change we want long term."  "Our relationships with other people are founded in the relationship we have with our self.” "Shame never motivates long term behavior change or sustainable changes in people's lives." "Sometimes learning to love yourself comes in learning along with somebody else."  "When we start to savor the pleasures that we can add in to our day then it becomes less like all or nothing."

This week, I'm taking a walk down memory lane to look at the things I've gotten wrong (some WAAAAAY wrong) in the past 5.5 years of doing this podcast. You'll hear my revelations on risk, self-care and burnout, tackling big goals, pleasure, and how everything (annoyingly so!!) starts at home. (I'll also share what I mean by that!) Aaaaand you'll hear me talk about why I'm comfortable sharing this list and what I'm doing about these revelations. Because this learning is part of the process and just because I've gotten things wrong in the past doesn't mean I can't keep going and bring my learning along with me! Episode Quotes "We cannot just say YES to the risk without also saying YES to the reverence." "There is something really beautiful about realizing that you are stronger without the shield of all the things you've convinced yourself make you stronger." "Self-care is a daily and ongoing devotion to yourself and the things you want to do." "Pleasure and delight are not frivolous." "The things that you want to do all starts with YOU and how are you showing up to yourself." "It's not about what you are doing, it's about who are you being." "The fix may not be quick, may not be comfortable, but it is available. Are you willing to show up anyway?" Timestamps 07:45—What I got wrong about embracing risks 20:07—Rethinking Self-care & Burnout 30:08—The value of going deeper (and what I'd missed before!) 36:47—Confession: I'm a bit of a 'ping-ponger' (and the value of holding your course) 40:04—Everything starts at home...and how you can apply this learning to your life!

I’m so excited to chat again with Laura Jane Williams. She was one of my lovely guests over a year ago when I was doing my Money, Sex, Freedom series, where we talked about worth, parenting, and some sex stuff too.   In this episode, you’ll hear us talking about writing, being an author, LJ’s books ‘Our Stop’ and ‘The Love Square’, social media and friendships, how unplugging from Instagram allowed her to like her friends more and be a better friend, Instagram boundaries, telling the truth about your life, and permission to feel pleasure and delight.  Show Notes:  Connect with Laura Jane Williams: Website | Instagram | Twitter | Facebook Laura Jane's earlier RYHSY episode RYHSY episode on Impulse vs Fact Laura Jane's books: Becoming Kidding Our Stop The Love Square

How do you build an entire handmade clothing empire out of a New Year's Day dare? That's exactly where my conversation with Tilly Walnes, of Tilly and the Buttons, starts. In this episode, you'll hear us talk about how she took sewing from hobby to business, how to maintain the spark for any creative endeavor, what to do if you want to make something but just cannot find the time (ahem...you'll hear me commit to something that I 100% didn't follow through on!), and how to get over the initial hurdles of getting started.

Ahhh, this interview y'all. There is so much goodness here. This week, I'm talking with Holly Whitaker, founder of Tempest Sobriety School and The Temper, and author of the recent "Quit Like a Woman: The Radical Choice to Not Drink in a Culture Obsessed with Alcohol." Holly also played a huge part in my decision to quit drinking, over three years ago, and I loved getting to have this conversation with her. Even though we recorded pre-coronavirus, everything we talked about is relevant to where we are today. You'll hear us cover pivotal life moments, why sometimes feeling guilty is okay, how to decide what you owe yourself vs what you owe others, non-linear paths of learning, and why you might need to live in a way that allows you to have constant interventions. We also talk about why it's okay not to be okay and how showing up is part of the healing. Show Notes:  Agency Archetypes Quiz 31 Days to Flow (open through 4/29!)

This week, I'm going behind the scenes of all my values talk to show you what values look like in action in our lives. Right now. During the COVID-19 pandemic. Yep. Even then. You'll also get to hear me tell two different versions of how I could be showing up right now (it's my Sliding Doors moment!): one that involves chasing the values I'm "supposed" to want: success and family.

What we're currently exploring is how you can Be Your Own Anchor in times of great uncertainty. Which...yes. That's where we are right now. (But it's also where we've always been, just with different specifics.) This week, I'm talking with my dear friend and teacher, Lacy Young. You'll hear us talk about living with (and in) overwhelm, a very different definition of thriving than what we've been taught it should look like, how to ground yourself when you're in a spin, and what we can learn from wildflowers and melting ice. We also cover: anxiety, self-compassion, identity, caretaking without losing yourself, and finding your own voice and power in the midst of all the chaos.

Today's episode includes my thoughts about where we all find ourselves, why slowing down is more critical than ever right now (and how it can lead to more productivity than you realize!), and a story about the doubt and uncertainty that can show up when you speak up for something you need. There's also an invitation to live from a place that doesn't create resentment (yay!!) as well as to think about what you can practice now to bring into your post-Coronavirus life. PS.

Things like: + You don't have to live in "I don't know" land forever+ That you don't have to go it alone when it comes to changing your life, and...+ That familiar and comfortable might not actually be your true goals If you are longing for a change but aren't sure what that change will be or if you'll be able to keep up your enthusiasm or if what you want is "the right thing" to want, this episode is for you!

We often talk about the benefits of going after the life you want, but we hardly talk about the cost of *not* doing so. This week, I'm pulling back the curtain on what I see so many of us doing as we avoid the perceived disruption that comes with becoming the person we know we want to be! I'll also be sharing some insight into my Raise Your Hand Say Yes Inner Circle (applications are now open!) and covering some things you might be thinking about the financial and time investment!

We often hear advice, in hindsight, from people who've been living their dreams. But what about people who are just starting out? Is it possible to move towards your goals in a sane way in the beginning of an endeavor? This week, I'm talking with fresh-out-of-her-day-job systems coach Brooke Monaghan about just that. You'll hear about why Brooke ran away from her dreams for 15 years (!), what her turning point was, the counterintuitive thing she did to prepare to go full time, and what happened when she was finally free of that day job! You'll also hear about Brooke's experience in my RYHSY Inner Circle and why what she most needed to learn was what she was least expecting. I loved our conversation SO MUCH!! Enjoy, enjoy!!

The big question we're tackling this week is this: how do you proceed towards the life you want to live when your pesky brain keeps getting in the way with the fear and the doubt and those sneaky impulses? (Related: how do you get yourself to do the things that matter most to you when, in the moment, you just don't want to!?) (Also related: if you experience this, YOU ARE NOT ALONE.) Dig into this week's episode to hear about why I want you to ignore your brain and what to focus on instead!!

This week we're talking about time management. But wait! I know you *think* you've heard everything there is to hear about how to get more done and optimize your time! But my guest, writer, speaker, and designer John Zeratsky is going to shake up your whole world when it comes to the question of how much time do you have *and* how are you spending it. In this episode, John and I talk about what to do when you're "losing" time, how to get yourself out of the busy-filled cycles so many of us exist in, how to let things go AND STILL get things done (because we aren't trying to throw our ambition baby out with the bathwater!) and how to figure out a system that works for YOU and allows you to focus on what matters most to YOU. (Yes. Those capital YOU's matter because this isn't about following someone else's prescription of How To Do Everything.) Enjoy, enjoy, enjoy!!

Happy 5th birthday Raise Your Hand Say Yes!!! This week, I'm sharing some thoughts as my podcast baby celebrates her fifth birthday and rather than sharing lessons learned, I'm sharing 5 questions that I've learned to ask myself throughout this entire Start and Maintain a Podcast phase of my life!   Listen in to hear what YOU can start asking yourself as you navigate those big goals you have for yourself, and learn about how nothing needs to make sense, baby steps are the only steps to worry about, and what I want you to do (yes! do!) today!   You'll also hear me name my podcasting studio in real time, get a glimpse at what my 5-year-ago priorities for the show were when I started (you'll be surprised!) and hear why I'm totally okay with you loving or not-loving Harry Potter!   Show Notes:    Connect with Tiffany on Insta    Get Tiffany's newsletter and stay in the know   Inner Circle VIP list (for early-bird applications)

Money. Debt. Earning. Mindset. Shame. Vulnerability. And saying it all out loud. This week, we're diving into all of these things with Stephanie McKenna who's been on a quest to pay off her debt, change her relationship with money, and shift her mindset around work out loud. We cover how mindset shifts are the key to everything, how Stephanie started out by focusing on the wrong thing (and how she shifted that), the surprising things she learned when she considered what she really wanted (it wasn't just more money!) and how she relieved herself of her own Internet-induced, self-defeating expectations and timelines.

I loved talking with Natalie Lue this week and we covered so much ground in this episode, including: habits (and relationships!) that aren't serving you, how to step beyond those well-worn patterns, drama and our addiction to it, and how people-pleasing is actually a manipulation (SAY WHAT?!). We also covered identities that don't serve us, letting other people dim our light, and why having emotional baggage doesn't mean anything other than that we're human.

This week, I'm talking with graphic designer, kickstarter, and Inner Circler Brooke Forry! Our conversation took so many turns and went from talking about that pesky quest for work/life balance to creating what you wished existed in the world to letting yourself move beyond being "nice." (Cuz we know there's more waiting for us out in the world!) We also talk about Brooke's new kickstarter project, the Balance Bound Planner, the mess behind "create what you wish existed" and how the Inner Circle helped her get this project up and running. If you're running yourself ragged trying to find the perfect HAVE IT ALL/DO IT ALL/BE IT ALL mix of work-life balance, this episode is for you!

This week, it is my deep pleasure to bring you my interview with coach, speaker, and writer Africa Brooke. Africa was the very first person who came to mind when I thought up my Money, Sex, Freedom series because her work lives at the intersection of all three things. In this interview, you'll hear us cover so many topics, including: letting go of performing your way through life (both in and out of the bedroom), acknowledging fear and speaking up anyway, why owning your personal power may look different than you think it does, what to do with your fear of success, healing through self-pleasure, moving beyond childhood sexual shame, and how a connection to your body can help you stand in your power in so many other ways. Yes. We cover SO MUCH GROUND. And, if you've ever found yourself with the feeling that you're carrying something big and powerful within you and feel both terrified and exhilarated by that knowing, this episode is for you.

I am so excited to have British author Laura Jane Williams on for the Money, Sex, Freedom series! In this episode, we talk about worth, letting yourself take up space and be seen, not apologizing for who you are, and, of course, some sex stuff too.   We also talk about parenting both from the perspective of being parents and our relationships with our own parents as adults.

This week's episode picks up where last week's left off: what happens right after you say a seemingly scary, vulnerable thing out loud. I'm sharing my experience with that as well as why I'm not where I am in my life regarding money, sex, and freedom. I'm also unpacking those things I tell myself are the reasons and going deeper to discover what's really holding me back! You'll also hear about why my phone is to blame for much of my lack of time, what I'm doing about it, and my new world-shifting way of dealing with self-doubt. Because that doubt is a dream killer every step of the way.

Think of all those things you want for your life. The ones you're excited about and also the ones you're not proud of. What might happen for you if you were to say them out loud? This is exactly what I'm doing with today's episode as I take you behind the scenes of the very personal reasons that I've undertaken this Money, Sex, Freedom series on the podcast. I'm sharing my confessions. I'm saying things out loud. And I'm also showing you how the specifics of my situation can help you raise your hand and say yes to the things you want for your life.

If you're anything like me, not doing enough is not your problem. AND YET as overambitious, hand-raisers, it is so easy for us to blame ourselves and a lack of doing (or, by extension being!) enough on why we aren't where we want to be in our work and our lives. In this week's episode, I'm refuting some terrible advice I recently heard and sharing other things that I need you to know as you work your way down this path of raising your hand and saying yes to those things you want for your life!

Tell me this: would you avoid anything in the world to feel needy? Do you want to go deeper into your desires but feel selfish in doing so? Are you so accustomed to taking care of everyone else around you that you never have any time left for yourself? Sweets, pull up a chair because this episode with life coach and host of the Needy podcast, Mara Glatzel is going to be balm for your soul. I wanted to have Mara back on early in the Money, Sex, Freedom series so we could talk about how wanting more for yourself in those areas is totally okay and also SUPER ENCOURAGED. And, newsflash: having needs doesn't mean you're faulty or a failure. It means you're human! (WHOA.) Dive in. It's so good. (Mara, thank you. You are a gift.)

Oh, that fear of rejection and failure is a BIG ONE. And I see it hold us back all the time. This week, I'm diving into what you can do about that fear of rejection, how and why it's affecting your life, and what you can focus on instead. I'm also sharing how it can get in the way of you getting the money, sex, and freedom you want and deserve (HEYO!) and how by not asking for what you want and need, you might ultimately be rejecting yourself!

"I'm not good enough. I'm not ready. I don't belong here." These are just a few of the things the Imposter Complex would have us believe (yes! there's a name for that!) and this week I'm thrilled to have life coach and Imposter Complex expert Tanya Geisler back on the podcast to talk all about the Imposter Complex.

Ahhhh! Money Sex Freedom is here! This week, I'm sharing the back story about why I'm launching this series, why I almost didn't do it (cause that fear voice is loud y'all) and why I think money and sex can lead us straight to God.

In our fast-moving, hyper-connected world, it's always good to pause for a check-in, so that's what I'm doing today! I've got Erin Cassidy (a long-time RYHSY guest!) back today and we're doing a little State of the Union to talk about what's going on over here at RYHSYHQ, how the new brand is shaking out, what it was like to work on the new site and how we're faring. So many of the success stories we hear involve the narrative of "I did things. They were hard. BUT LOOK AT MEEEEE NOW!!" and that's great.

When was the last time you woke up feeling like you were excited to dive into your day? If you're not sure, you might be suffering from burnout. In this week's episode, I'm sharing the 12 phases of burnout (as developed by psychologists!) and talking about how why I think—as hand raisers and yes sayers—we're especially prone to burning ourselves out. I'm also sharing one of my favorite super-easy-to-start-using tools for beginning to move yourself beyond burnout. In addition, you'll hear from one of my current Raise Your Hand Say Yes students, Michelle Barnes, about her experience in the course and what it's given her EVEN THOUGH from the outside looking in, her life is as busy as ever!!

Wait. Fear is convenient? You might be thinking, "no way!" but on this week's episode, I'm going into how our habitual fear responses are getting in our way and what we can do instead. SO MUCH of raising your hand and saying yes starts with looking at the individual moments of your everyday life. (Even though it's way more fun to daydream about those Big Things the future holds.) This week, I'll show you how those two are woven together and help get you on your path to ease, freedom, and flow!

This week I'm talking all about integration and how I think it's time we turn our gaze from the beginning of an endeavor to what happens when we get into something—how do we stay connected and on track, especially when that pesky fear and doubt creep in?

On the surface, our conversation is about routines—how to find them, how to keep them, and how to stay committed to them.

What happens when you take a month off of social media? How do you structure it and what results does it lead to? And also: how do you shift those habits that you know you aren't working for you? This week, I'm kicking off Season 6 (!!) with my social-media-sabbatical partner-in-crime Tammi Salas of the Unruffled Podcast. You'll hear us talk about why we decided to take a break from social media, how it has everything to do with our sobriety from alcohol and the things that were both great and hard about the month. If you suspect that you have habits that aren't serving you (even if they have nothing to do with social media!) or you're constantly finding yourself wishing for more time or more balance or more connection, this episode is for you.

This episode was inspired by a listener's request to cover setting more realistic goals as a topic. Here's the thing: while I don't think we need to necessarily worry about how "realistic" our goals are, I also think that we can get better at pulling ourselves off the brink of burnout in order to live the lives that we want to live. But is it possible to do both? I think that it is - AND - that it's not only possible, but necessary. In this episode, I break down how and give real-life examples (literally from my life!) of what this process might look like!

I break down: + how I let go of being held back by the fears of failure, success, and disruption+ what saying yes really looks like+ my own story of saying yes that led me to starting this podcast over four years ago (!!) - seriously, it all started with my saying a single sentence out loud + a different story of a time when I didn't say yes and someone else made my idea real+ why inertia is the biggest enemy around to your creative work (and how the Inner Circle will help you move beyond that!) ...and so much more!

Ever wonder if you're the "right" kind of creative or if you're doing your creative endeavors the way you should? Have you ever called yourself "not creative" just because you aren't a visual artist or a maker? Have you ever looked around at what everyone else is doing with their work and thought that they must surely know something you don't? If you answered yes to any of the above, you are not alone! This week, I'm diving into the question of what it means to do creativity the "right" way - you KNOW I have thoughts - as well as what we all can learn from my experience being an imperfect podcaster, what I learned from a business planning class with Jenn Lee, and how what a 7th grade art teacher stuck with me for nearly 20 years.

Fear. It's real and sometimes it's loud. But what about those times it's *not* so loud? And what about those times that fear is in control of our actions and we don't even realize it?

Do you ever find yourself wondering any of these: + Why can't I create (or be as confident) as everyone I see online? + Why can't I just stay off social media? + Why am I so tired? + Why do I have so many doubts? Guess what? YOU ARE NOT ALONE. And also: there is nothing wrong with you. Promise. This week, I'm breaking down some of the most common questions I hear from people about their creative habits and where they think they need to change and am diving into why these questions consistently come up as well as some new ways you can approach them when they do. There are no formulas for success. There are no absolute right answers. And I promise you this: someone else is asking themselves those very things you're asking yourself right now.

Have you ever found yourself saying something out loud that is self-depricating and not actually true? If so, this episode is for you. This week, I'm diving into three specific stories I've told throughout my life (one very recently!) and looking at what impact telling them has had on what I believe about myself. The short version is that the things we say out loud tend to become true. The other spoiler is that we can shift this ourselves. If you're ready to stand in your own power and own the good work that you do in this world (or that you're ready to do), have a listen. You are not alone. And you are doing great.

Can you slowly and gradually shift a habit or do you have to go all in? Is it possible to actually change something about yourself that you've believed to be true your whole life? How do you know when a change is necessary or when it's antithesis to the person you really are? And, then, if you are ready to try out the change, where do you even start? These are just a few of the questions that come up around habit change and this week, I'm diving into my own shift in my habit around waking up in the morning. Yes, hand raisers, you heard that right: I am (on purpose!) waking up every morning at 6 am (begrudgingly) and am working on becoming a morning person.

Confession time! I haven't been doing the things I say I want to do. Ahhh! So, here I am, going solo on the show to tell you all about it. Formulas are hard to argue with. Patterns and habits are challenging to break. And yet (!) most of us know that we want more for our creative work and our lives and businesses than we're letting ourselves have. This week, I'm bringing you behind the scenes of my own recent revelation about what was standing in my way of going all in on my big ideas and how I'm (hoping to!) shift my tide (there's webinar for that). Join me. The waters are lovely. Show Notes: Connect with Tiffany on Insta Get Tiffany's newsletter and stay in the know RSVP for Tiffany's Shifting the Tide webinar (4/25 at noon PST)

Today I'm talking about how to deal with navigating change, and this episode is auto-biographical as I'm right in the midst of making some huge changes around my home life (hello, let's move states!). I'll take you through the steps I'm using right now as I gingerly tread through this shift and try to stay sane in the process. Want the cliff notes? Here are my 8 steps: 1. Remember why you want it. 2. Remember that you want it.3. Let go of having answers that will appease other people's anxieties.4. But create external accountability if that helps. 5. Self-care like whoa.6. Sleep.7. Say when it's hard. 8. Remember that you'll be so grateful for this experience someday. Change is important, and it's hard. And we're all in it together.

Can you use your art as resistance, as a form of activism, or as  a catalyst for social change? Yes, you can, and this week, I'm talking with Susan Celia Swan about how to do just that. Susan is the Executive Director of V-Day, a global activist movement to end violence against women and girls that raises funds and awareness through benefit productions of Playwright/Founder Eve Ensler's The Vagina Monologues and other artistic works, and we had such an amazing conversation about what creative women can do to activate change in their local communities and on a global scale. We also talked about what to do if you want to serve but aren't sure how to get started, the big impact tiny moves can create, and how to deal with the imperfection that can rise up when YOU want to rise up. This conversation is important and powerful. We've all got big work to do. No pressure, hand raisers! And let's go.

What happens when something that looks so good on paper stops working? And what do you do when that something involves someone you love? This week, I'm talking with my biz-wife-for-life Erin Cassidy about how we're making moves away from the work that we spent most of 2017 building up and (more importantly!) why we're making that shift. The big learnings: You can love something and still let it go.Your intuition often knows the truth before you're ready to say it out loud.Your creative work is constantly evolving. Get out of your own way and let it. Listen in to hear all about the changes we're making, what it's like to let go of things you worked super hard to build, and how we have all the nervous excitement for what's next!

Let's talk about the reality of making big shifts. Let's talk about what things really look like behind the scenes of change. Let's talk about the dark side of creative ambition and how it's so easy to let our drive take us to the brink of overwhelm...and how it's easy for that to become our normal. This week's solo episode tackles those ideas with a few things that I want you to keep in mind as you undertake creative endeavors. Because, yes, you want big things for yourself. But it's easy to forget that those big things usually require big energetic outputs. And it's also easy to forget what's at the heart of all the things we're working so hard to achieve. If you're mid-leap, this episode is for you. If you're contemplating a leap, this episode is for you. If you're tired of being tired and want to find more peace, ease, and flow, this episode is for you. Enjoy, enjoy, and remember: you're doing great. You're not alone. Keep going.

I'm back this week with the second half of my interview with Yulia Van Doren of Goldirocks. In this episode, we pick up where we left off: Yulia's home from Tucson and has $4K worth of crystals in her car...then what? The rest of the story might surprise you. In this episode, you'll hear about how perfectionism almost stopped Yulia from ever making Goldirocks real, how life stepped in once again to shake things up, and how the loss of the biggest opportunity of Yulia's operatic career led to her being able to write her book, collaborate with Anthropologie, and partner with Herbivore!

How did a professional Opera singer become the internet's favorite crystal seller? Is that kind of leap even possible? YES! It is, and this week you're going to hear (the first half!) of the story in my interview with Yulia Van Doren, founder of Goldirocks.

Except. We all know that paths like this are never as smooth as Instagram makes them seem, and this is especially true in Yulia's case. She shares how she *really* got started, what happened when she finally started following her inner knowings, and how she ended up in Arizona with $4,000 worth of crystals in her trunk.

One year sober. Whoooa. In this bonus solo episode, I revisit my decision to quit drinking and reflect back on what I've learned through my own recovery journey over the past year. This episode is perfect for anyone who is pondering a change in their lives, whether it's around shifting your relationship with alcohol or not.  You'll hear me talk about how my consideration of the words "sobriety" and "recovery" have changed throughout the years, how I'm feeling about my decision to quit drinking and how I've been able to stay committed to my decision.  You'll also hear me share about why it's important to remember that there's no secret formula to success and that we all have to find our own way. This is key!  THANK YOU to everyone who has supported me in this decision and who's reached out to let me know that telling my story has made a difference to you. I'm going to keep doing it.

So many of us are striving for something bigger in our lives and creative work. We want to find success doing something that makes us come alive *and* that serves the world. (No pressure, right?)

Ooh, I loved getting to talk with Anna Guest-Jelley, founder of Curvy Yoga, for this week. We talked about so much good stuff: embodiment, spirituality, business evolution, creative instincts, body acceptance, permission. All of it around how to move forward when you know there's something more for you. And while it's easy to only think about evolution when you hit a place of burnout, it's actually critical to realize that - in creativity - we're all evolving all the time. So, yay! Evolution is exciting! Oh, and it happens whether we realize it or not, so let's all get in the driver's seat, eh?

Ah! Season 4 is here! I'm thrilled to be kicking us off with an interview with Laurie Wagner, an author and artist who also happens to be my writing teacher! Through her amazing Wild Writing method, Laurie helps writers tap into their truth and get to the heart of what they really want to say in this world. (Which is pretty much step one of living your Raise Your Hand Say Yes life!) In this conversation, Laurie and I talk about telling the truth and what it has to do with leadership. You'll also hear her thoughts on getting vulnerable as an expert and teacher and why it's so critical. Oh, and we also dive into a discussion about drinking (and not drinking) and Jesus - and how interesting it is that both topics feel so controversial. If you're interested in finding your voice and tapping into a deeper spiritual truth, this episode is for you!  Enjoy, enjoy!

In this month's installment of my Raise Your Hand Say Yes Life series, I go behind the scenes of some business changes I'm making and talk about how I'm dealing with the uncertainty that comes along with doing something that goes against the grain of everything that's worked in the past AND all the things that other's would advise for me.  I also share how this uncertainty has also trickled into my personal life with both a move to Colorado for us and my giving up drinking.  Enjoy, enjoy!  Show Notes:  31 Days to Flow The How to be Remarkable podcast: website | itunes Join the RYHSY FB group Let's hang out on Instagram!

We know it about making soup, but we often forget it when it comes to our creative ideas: Letting things simmer is how the flavor develops. In this week's episode, I'm talking about why it's so important to give your creative ideas the room they need to fully develop and what to do while you wait. Because, I promise: I'm just as impatient as you are! I'll also share how to avoid letting your ideas simmer FOREVER and what you can do to start testing them and collecting data *during* the simmer!

Let's talk about bold, inspired action, but this week, I'm bringing in a new twist - instead of focusing on the bold, we're going to start with the inspired. I'll tell you what I think it means to come from a truly inspired place, how you can find that place for yourself, and why naps are *definitely* a good idea! If you're ready to bring more fun, ease, and flow into your creative work, I've got you covered!

Okay, you know there are things you want to do with your creative work. But you also know that there are about a million different things vying for your attention? How do you make space to welcome in the things you really want? This week, I'm talking about how to get started in making space for your big dreams as well as what I learned about business after I had my twins three years ago (which was right around the time that things started taking off for me...coincidence? I think not!). The key: focus on the big stuff. Let the rest fall away. I also tie this into what I learned by my 100 Days of Going Light experiment about only doing the things that lit me up and focusing on that for 100 days. A lot changed. And change takes time. Patience helps a ton. Keep going. Show Notes:  31 Days to Flow Join the RYHSY FB group and get Tiffany's newsletter Connect with Tiffany on Instagram

Ooh let's talk about stories - namely: the stories that we decide are true that hold us back. Examples include: Tiffany talks too much or Tiffany isn't a good speaker. (Ahem, right.) The problem with these stories that are often hold-overs from our youth is that we let them hold us back. We decide to use them as evidence against going after the things we want for our lives. They're conveniently placed right between us and our dreams.  And I say no more! This week, we dig into how those stories hold us back (and you'll hear a few of mine as examples) and what we need to do to move past them. You'll also hear WHY this is so important and what's possible for us if and when we decide to put ourselves back into the driver's seat!

In this month's installment of the My RYHSY Life series, I'm diving into the things I'm currently raising my hand and saying yes to, including: why I've undertaken a spiritual MBA (and where the idea came from!), why I'm embracing recovery as I continue my commitment to not drinking, and how I'm tapping into my creative flow!

What do you do when you have NO IDEA what you want to do? And even worse, how do you navigate a change when you feel like you might be eternally stuck in a sucky situation (whether it's a job or relationship or habit)? This week's solo episode was prompted by an Instagram question asking me how to navigate utter stuckness, and my answers apply whether you're in a toxic situation or just want to make a change in your life but aren't *exactly* sure what that change should be. Dive in and remember: change is a process. And things never move as quickly as we want them to. Keep going anyway. It's so worth it.

Ashley Nickels is a writer, quilter, and teacher (and overall badass) who is currently in the midst of her own reinvention. Ashley and I both gave up drinking around the same time and the parallels in our stories are amazing! #sobersisters This week, we talk about reinvention, letting go of stories, what happens when you start tapping into a higher consciousness, and the parts of reinvention that you don't always hear when someone's on the other side looking back. And you'll get to hear the inside scoop about a few changes I'm making in my business as well!

This week's guest is April Miller McMurtry of The Moon is My Calendar. I've known April for a few years and was so excited to get to talk with her about her work around using the cycles of the moon to aid in creative work (and, let's be honest: life). April has a keen understanding of how the waxes and wanes of the moon can reflect the ebbs and flows of our energy on a day-to-day basis and takes the perspective that there is no one-size-fits-all formula for creative success (bingo!). If you've ever wondered about the moon and what it all means to your life, listen in. Even if you're skeptical (I was too!), this episode will help you walk away with more grace for yourself and your natural habits and some techniques to help you move forward in embracing them as you keep on raising your hand and saying yes!

We also talk about how you can get over your fear of what other people are going to think about choices you make, how it feels to go public with a big life change, and how you can start building up your creative confidence and resilience.

Exciting episode alert! I'm talking with RYHSY veteran Erin Cassidy all about taking risks...as we go behind the scenes of the debut of our new podcast How to be Remarkable!  In this episode, we dive deep into talk of creative risk, especially when it goes against the way you'd normally do things. Are you dreaming of starting a podcast but don't know how to balance that with your introverted tendencies? Listen in - cuz Erin has some great thoughts on that! I was also excited to have this conversation right at the beginning of our new endeavor as it's easy to forget about the nervous + excited feeling of projects once you've gotten distance between yourself and the starting line.  Enjoy, enjoy and we'd love for you to also check out the new podcast - either online or on iTunes!  Show Notes:  Connect with Erin: ArtSocial | BrandCrush | Instagram How to be Remarkable podcast online How to be Remarkable podcast on iTunes Get your free brand audit quiz & 3-day mini-class RSVP for the 5/4 Don't Hate your Website webinar Want More?

This week's episode is a deep dive into the reality of business change, following your dreams, and doing big scary things with Jessie Artigue of Style and Pepper as she's in the midst of launching her new clothing line Season on Kickstarter.  Before we started recording, Jessie told me that she wanted to get into the dirt of change and creative risk and so we went there! We talk about knowing you need to make a change - even when everything looks really good on paper, how to deal with anxiety, the problem with hustle, and what it's really like to run a very public kickstarter for something you've gone all in on (hello vulnerability!).

I'm excited to unveil a new feature called My RYHSY Life. In these monthly-ish episodes, I'll be going behind the scenes of my own life and business to tell the in-real-time story of what I'm currently raising my hand and saying yes to.  I'm kicking the series off with the story of how and why I decided to give up drinking a couple of months ago, in what is becoming a permanent change in my life. I'll be sharing what led me to make the decision to dive into the dry life, what I kept telling myself about why I couldn't do so sooner, and what I've learned about myself, my relationship with alcohol, and my life since. You'll also learn about the conversation I was afraid to have with my husband after I quit and the times I've been triggered to drink since. And not sure how my giving up drinking pertains to you and your creative quests? I'll fill you in on that too!  Show Notes: It's Business Time (applications are open through 3/15) Vintage RYHSY: Lacy Young on Shifting Vintage RYHSY: Lacy Young on Health Lacy Young's Shift Retreats Andrea Owen's Your Kick-Ass Life podcast recovery series Holly Whitaker of Hip Sobriety on Real Talk Radio with Nicole Antionette  

This week, I'm talking with physician-turned-spiritual-medicine-woman Vickie Lampkin about spiritual health, self-love and the question we all want answered: is it possible to be sane, healthy, and successful at the same time?  I am such a fan of Vickie and her work and I loved her take on self-care (you may be surprised!) and what she sees as the biggest roadblocks we creatives face as we try to make creative magic happen.  If you're looking to make a change in your life or are in the middle of one, this episode is for you!

This week, I got to talk with health coach Maya Henry about choices and mindsets and priorities. The conversation that I thought would be about practical and proactive tips on how we can break overwhelm and get healthy quickly became a conversation about how wellness and creativity are intrinsically linked - and how focusing on you health will actually make you more creatively alive.  I love Maya's no-bs and down-to-earth take on getting healthy (yes! you can still eat ice cream! no! you don't have to love kale!) and think this conversation is one that anyone who feels overwhelmed by life but is still seeking a change would benefit from.  We cover goal setting, intention setting, mindset shifts, and what happens when you *don't* make yourself a priority. You'll also hear over and over again how healthy and creativity are inter-related as well as my aha moment when Maya nails the perfect Raise Your Hand Say Yes venn diagram!  Bonus: Maya is offering all RYHSY listeners her free Happiness Meal Plan guide - it's so good, y'all.

Nikki is fairly new to the professional artist world, and it was great to get her perspective on how to grow a business and a following in this current digital age. She also busted some of every creative's favorite excuses, including not having enough time, not having enough space, not being able to find your voice, and not having a big enough following - showing that building your creative business takes dedication, grit, and generosity.

She started claiming her title as professional artist in her mid-20's and, in this episode, we talk about how she reinvented herself as an artist and the stories she had to rewrite in order to do so.  We also talk about how she embraced the bad paintings she knew she'd have to make as she worked on finding her voice, how her artistic voice is evolving even still, and how she balances creating art with the business of selling art.  There is something for everyone in this episode, whether you're ready for a reinvention or are trying to figure out how to juggle all the things as you define success for yourself!    Show Notes: Connect with Amira:  Website | Facebook | Pinterest | Instagram Austin Kleon's Steal like an Artist Ryan Holiday's Ego is the Enemy  Join the RYHSY FB group and get Tiffany's weekly love notes in your inbox

This week on Raise Your Hand Say Yes, I’m talking with Jamie Jensen all about storytelling for creatives. Jamie is a writer and creative director for her business Your Hot Copy, but she also has spent years writing and making movies! I was fascinated to learn about Jamie's creative process, both in her client work and her own creative endeavors and how the process overlaps (and differs!) for the two! We also talk about the common mistakes she sees entrepreneurs make, so if you're stuck on how to tell your story and sell without being a d-bag, she's got you covered. And of course, we talk about her Vixen workout and the one thing she can't believe I've never done in my own business!   Show Notes: Connect with Jamie Website | Facebook | Instagram | Twitter Lisa Congdon on Creative Evolution Lisa Congdon on Passion Projects Vixen Workout Hannah has a Ho-Phase on Itunes Jamie's about page offer Join the RYHSY Fb group  Subscribe in itunes

I loved talking with Lisa Solomon for this week's episode of Raise Your Hand Say Yes. We talked about the myth of living a life of balance, the truth about going to (or not going to!) art school, and the power of daily devotion. We also talked about Lisa's own art projects and what she's learned about asking for help and the power of community.  Lisa is such a delight and I love how this episode turned into a giggle-fest. If you're someone who's seeeking balance but finding it elusive, this episode is for you!

This week, I had the good fortune of interviewing Kristen Ley of Thimblepress for Raise Your Hand Say Yes and our conversation was one of my favorites! Kristen's story is the epitome of my raise your hand and say yes philosophy, and it was so inspiring to hear about how she built her business in just a few years by taking risks and keeping her eye on the prize.  In this episode, we also talk about the power of both faith and hustle and how you can keep going when you're trying to juggle a million different things.

Oh man, you guys. I LOVE Stasia Savasuk and was thrilled to get to talk with her for this week's episode of Raise Your Hand Say Yes. Stasia is my personal style guru and her counsel has made a huge difference in how I approach getting dressed every morning! In this episode, we talk about Stasia's journey to becoming a badass style rockstar and how we all can find our own personal styles (no matter what your body shape or budget is!). We also talk about the power style can have on your life, what to do when your pants don't fit, and why having fewer clothes in your closet can be a VERY good thing. If you've felt the calling to feel good in your clothes and want to make 2016 the year that you shine, this episode is for you!

Ah, money! This week, I'm continuing my New Year's Resolution series on Raise Your Hand Say Yes and am talking with Amy Robles all about money! Amy is a former client who not only turned her own money story around by getting rid of debt (she'll tell you how today!) but also now works as a money coach and educator. And she's whip-smart and REAL. Because we don't need any more money lectures, do we? (Nope.) In this episode, we discuss the importance of getting your money house in order (hint: it has waaaaay more to do with your life than money!) and Amy's three simple steps to get started. Are you ready to figure out your money stuff or get out of debt and actually have a savings account in 2016? This episode is for you! After you listen, be sure to enter the great notebook giveaway over on Instagram too! (And if you have notebooks of your own to pass along, play along!)

Welcome to 2016! This year, I'm starting off with a new series on Raise Your Hand Say Yes all about New Year's Resolutions. Do you start every year thinking you're going to deal with your health and money and (finally!) clean out your closet? If so, you're in for a treat this month! And if not, you're still in for a treat because these upcoming episodes are gooooood!  This week, I got to sit down with one of my favorite people on the planet, Lacy Young  and talk all about health and wellness and what to do if you want to be healthier. Lacy's advice is spot on while also being super reasonable and I know you'll be able to walk away from this conversation with at least a couple of things you can start doing today to get healthier and feel better in your body. We also talk about how you can tell the difference between what you really want for your body versus what the magazines say you should want, the value of putting yourself in the way of empowerment, and a beginner's guide to meditating. Lacy also shares what she experienced in the beginning of her own journey to get healthy, and I'm sure we can all relate. Be warned: by listening to this episode, all of your excuses about why you can't eat better or meditate will go out the window! **100 Rejection Letters** - Registration open through 10/31/16 Show Notes: Connect with Lacy: Website | Facebook | Instagram | Pinterest Lacy's Meditation Retreats   Join the RYHSY Fb group  Subscribe in itunes

This week on Raise Your Hand Say Yes, I got to sit down and talk with Todd Henry, author of The Accidental Creative and Die Empty, about his new book (out next week! See below for the pre-order special!) Louder Than Words: Harness the Power of your Authentic Voice. Authenticity is such a buzzword these days that people talk about it all the time but everyone has a hard time putting their finger on HOW to get there. We all know it when we see it, but what are the steps you and I can take to find and hone our authenticity? In this week.s episode, Todd tells us all about authenticity and how we can get started on finding ours. We also talk about the value of building a body of work, how to keep your eyes on your own paper, the power of making a decision and taking action, why we should all craft a manifesto, and what we can all learn from a good underdog story. Along the way, Todd shares what he's learned about creating content as a profession and how he balances his busy work schedule with making his family and three kids a priority. I think this episode will speak to everyone and I hope you enjoy it!

Oh, the hustle. We hear it all the time - you have to work hard to win big, but make sure you have work-life balance, and don't forget about self care, and la;ksdjf;oicuxfewr. And which messages are we supposed to take to heart? The ones that tell us to chill the eff out or the ones that tell us we have to go all in and work our tails off to become successful in this world? Both. And neither.  This week on the podcast, I sat down with small business strategist and coach for creative entrepreneurs, Cyndie Spiegel, to talk about the hustle - the good, the bad, and the ugly. Cyndie at I met at ALT in January (and we'll both be back there to speak next month!) and hit it off immediately. I adore her and knew that she had to be on the show.  We also talked about the leap and the net will appear adage, how to know it's time to make a change, boundaries, and what stepping up your game really looks like for most creative entrepreneurs. If you're interested in making a change in your life or have been feeling a pull towards something bigger for yourself, this episode is for you! It's also for you if you're tired of feeling overwhelmed in your business and are wondering when the next chapter is going to start.  Cyndie. You are such a treat and it was an absolute pleasure to have you on the show! I can't wait to toast you in person next month!  **100 Rejection Letters** - Registration open through 10/31/16 Show Notes: Connect with Cyndie: Website | Instagram  The Life-changing Magic of Tidying Up by Marie Kondo the skimm What Freedom Is (and Isn't) - my blog post where I ask if you really want a business or just need a vacation

Fear. Doubt. Inner critics. They are something WE ALL deal with. Every single one of us. And yet, they make us feel so alone and isolated. Well, I say not anymore! In this week's episode of the podcast, I'm flying solo and talking about how to step beyond fear into your Most Important Work - that work that keeps you up at night, that work you can't stop thinking about, that work you know you were meant to do. That work that you usually put off because there's a voice in your head asking Who do you think you are?  Yep. That work. And that voice. You DO have a choice of how to react to your fear. Listen in to hear how you can make that choice as easy as possible for yourself. PS. It's time for the 3rd annual Multi-Passionate Must Haves sale and I'm thrilled that my program More Shenanigans Please is included among the 26 products by 28 expert contributors worth $1,730 - for only $97! This bundle was designed specifically for those of you who have a LOT of different interests, projects, and creative pursuits in your life and is an amazing value.

I had a blast talking with Molly Gilbert of Dunk & Crumble for today's episode of the podcast!   We talked about all of the #raiseyourhandsayyes moments that Molly's had in her life that led her away from the life of a looks-good-on-paper consultant to culinary school to starting a blog, moving across the country, and writing my new favorite cookbook Sheet Pan Suppers. We also talk about the value of ease and how things that are simple can still be valuable. I repeat: things that are simple can still be valuable. (I think I need to get this one tattooed on my forehead!) This episode is fuuuulll of life lessons. Chock full! Molly, thank you so much!

Ah, how I love Jen Louden. I first met Jen a few years ago at WDS after my Teahouse studio-mate Stef had told me, "Jen Louden is there. You have to meet her and convince her to come teach at Teahouse." So, me being me, I saw her talking to a mutual friend, walked up and introduced myself, "Hi. I'm Tiffany. I hear you're awesome. I have a workshop space in Berkeley and we'd love for you to come teach there." Mysterious, I am not. And, lo and behold, that #raiseyourhandsayyes moment led to Jen coming to teach at Teahouse. Huh, isn't it amazing how sometimes you actually do get what you ask for? Right. It can be super simple if you let it. This week, I got to talk to Jen all about getting vulnerable. Which is a hot topic these days and a word that gets tossed about all the time, so I wanted to dig into what vulnerability really means and how you can tap into your own. It's all about getting started, and I love Jen's take on it. We also talk about what to do when your creative work feels hard and when to dig in your heels and keep going and when to let something go and move on. It's a good one friends, I hope you enjoy it! Jen, you are such a beautiful combination of honest, funny, and wise.

Ahh! I was so excited to interview Janelle Hanchett for this week's podcast episode. So excited.  When I found out I was pregnant with twins, I immediately dove into Google (don't do that!) and found myself going down the Rabbit Hole of Crazy that is websites about pregnancy and expecting and twins and all of that. There is so much information that made me feel nervous and anxious and terrible.  And then, one day, I stumbled upon Janelle's blog, Renegade Mothering, and felt like I had found my way home. Finally! Someone who spoke my language when it came to pregnancy and kids and parenting and family. I then found myself going down the Rabbit Hole of Awesome that is Janelle's blog and her humor, perspective, and honesty.  This week, Janelle and I talk about SO MUCH including facing your discomfort and doing your work in spite of your fear, what Janelle learned from her alcoholism about facing your failure, what to do with the haters in the comment section, and how to tell your truth through writing. I also love Janelle's take on not letting fear be her editor. Brilliance.  Janelle, thank you, thank you, thank you!  Show Notes: Connect with Janelle: Renegade Mothering Blog | Twitter | Instagram Janelle's post: To the new mom traumatized by BabyCenter Janelle's post: I became a mother and died to live.  Janelle's Write Anyway workshop My post: I want you to give a shit

I was so excited to have Elise Blaha Cripe back on the show! This week, we talked all about goal-setting and getting things done. Elise is a MASTER at setting (and sharing) her goals and I was excited to chat with her about the practical steps of how she gets things done and how her business (and goals!) has evolved over time. We also got to talk about two of Elise's bigger projects: Make29 and her Get to Work Book (amazing!) and how these projects have played into each other and what she's learned about everything. And, a conversation about goals and doing the work wouldn't be complete without diving into a discussion about fear and comparisons and all that good stuff. We covered a lot in this conversation!

I was thrilled to talk with Monica McCarthy this week for the podcast! I've known Monica for a few years and have been following her career as she's gone through so many entrepreneurial iterations and is currently the Experience Impressario for Holstee. (If you're curious about what an Experience Impressario does, we'll cover that!) On this episode, Monica and I talked all about what she learned about risk from being an actress, how she was able to let go of the solopreneur dream and get a day job (gasp!) and how she's followed her crazyfaith to her own raise your hand say yes moments. It's a good one!  Monica, it was so wonderful having you on the show!

Oooh, you guys. I've been dreaming of having Amy Tan on the show since it's inception, and I'm excited to finally bring you this episode. I met Amy a few years ago at my first Craftcation (and where I'm speaking this weekend!) and was blown away by how cool and sweet and smart and lovely she is.  Amy is a scrapbooking superstar but started out with her own clothing company. Through her experiences running her own clothing company, becoming a scrapbooking guru, and figuring out what works, Amy has learned a LOT and I love talking to her about all of it. Tune in to find out how Amy found her creative voice, what happens when her ego gets in her way (and how she bypasses that), and how she's created this magical life for herself.  Amy, I'm such a fan and can't wait to spend some time with you at Craftcation. You're gonna get a great big hug! Thank you for being awesome!  PS. Thinking about applying for It's Business Time? Applications close Friday and there are currently on 3 spots left, so don't delay!  Show Notes: Connect with Amy: Website | Blog | Instagram | Facebook Amy's new YouTube series, Design on Time Craftcation Conference Amy Poehler's Yes Please Amy's Handbook Right Brain Business Plan The Art of Happiness by Dalai Lama Spirit Junkie by Gabrielle Bernstein

I am such a big fan of Meg Worden and was thrilled to have her on the show. To me, Meg is the Queen of Owning It which becomes quickly apparent if you spend any time on her blog at all (I highly recommend that you do!).  In this episode, Meg and I talk about so many things - defining yourself as an entrepreneur, Meg's time in federal prison and how she's owned her experience, the power of telling your story and embracing vulnerability. Meg also shares ways that you can get started in telling your own story and embracing your experiences.  Meg, thank you! You are such and inspiration to me and having you on the show was such a treat.  Show Notes: Connect with Meg: Website | Blog | Instagram | Twitter Man's Search for Meaning by Viktor Frankl Renegade Mothering Hannah Marcotti    

Ahh! It's a good day when I get to bring my dear friend (and collaborator) Michelle Ward back on the podcast! In this week's episode, Michelle and I talk about starting a business, the moment you realize you're ready to break free from your golden handcuffs, and when you should and shouldn't follow that calling. We also talk about our own experiences with time management and taking a make-things-work approach now that we are both mama-preneurs. At the end of this episode, we also spill the beans about It's Business Time, a program we've put together to help 10 women go from Big Dreams to Legit Biz (with a website designed by powerhouse Erin Cassidy!) in just 6 months.

Huzzah! It's book club time!  As I mention in this episode of the podcast, I've been wanting to do an online book club since 2008 (!!) when I started blogging. Therefore, I was stoked when I was talking with Erin one day about The Big Leap and we realized that we should do a book club. On the podcast. Oh yes baby, that's how the magic happens.  This episode is all about The Big Leap and Upper Limit Problems and Zones of Genius. Erin and I get all kinds of personal talking about our own Upper Limit Problems (that is, how we self-sabotage and hold ourselves back) and where we think our Zones of Genius might be -- and why it's so scary to talk about your genius out loud on a podcast.  If you haven't read the book - don't worry! The concepts mentioned are universal and I'm certain you'll be able to relate to some of the things that Erin and I struggle with.  We'll also be hosting a twitter chat about the book on Tuesday March 10 at noon PST and would love for you to join us! We'll be posting questions throughout the hour using #ryhsybookclub.  And, the next book we'll be covering is The Creative Habit: Live it and Learn it for Life by Twyla Tharp. We'll be discussing that book on the May 5 episode.  Erin, you are the best co-host ever! Thank you for being YOU and sharing your genius with all of us!  **100 Rejection Letters** - Registration open through 10/31/16 PS. At the end of the episode, Erin and I mention two different ways that you can work with both of us at the same time. With BossLady Branding, you get a chance to work with us on brand clarity and visual design. We are also super excited for our upcoming program, It's Business Time, with Michelle Ward.

Newsflash: your creativity is an asset, not a liability.  I have based my entire business around this principle, and I wanted to explore it further on the podcast. I see too many women trying to quiet their creative voices instead of embracing them. It's time to change.  In this episode, I talk about why I think creativity needs to be embraced and then sit down to talk with Jennifer Lee, one of my favorite peeps ever, about it. As the creator of the Right Brain Business Plan, Jenn has see first hand how creative people are able to succeed because of their creativity, not in spite of it.  If you've ever thought, if only I liked spreadsheets..., this episode is for you!  Jenn, you are the best! Thank you for being on the show!  Erin is also going to be my co-host for the Raise your Hand Say Yes book club episodes, the first of which is going to air on March 4 when we’ll be discussing Gay Hendricks’ The Big Leap.

Today, you'll get to hear a conversation with the woman behind the graphics!  Not only is Erin responsible for keeping my brand looking ship-shape, she's also one of my favorite people in the world and someone who I credit with a large part of my business success. This week, Erin and I talk about how we came to work together and some of the raise your hand say yes moments in her life and career. We also talk about the creative evolution of her entrepreneurial journey and the things that she's learned up until now.  Erin is also going to be my co-host for the Raise your Hand Say Yes book club episodes, the first of which is going to air on March 4 when we'll be discussing Gay Hendricks' The Big Leap.  Erin, you're the BEST!!!

I was super excited to interview the lovely Esmé Weijun Wang this week for the podcast!  Esmé and I covered so much ground in this episode, from her mission of radical sincerity to the value of small talk, from finding your authentic voice online  to telling your story, from building resilience and finding community.  If you've ever struggled with how to tell your own creative story amidst everyone else online, this episode is for you!  Thank you so much, Esmé, it was such a treat having you on the show!  PS.

And, welcome to the podcast episode where I quote myself. This week, I did something a little bit different and did a solo show. What started out as a short guide to finding your own way to Raise your hand and say yes quickly became my stance on life (enter: the Crazyfaith) and my musings on the movement I'm trying to create with my work and this show.  I'm feeling a wee bit vulnerable posting and sharing this now, but, in the spirit of leaning in to my own discomfort, here goes.  I'd love to hear what you think! I would like to do more of these solo shows (don't worry! I'm not going to give up the interviews!), so if what I had to say resonated, please let me know!  PS. As I mentioned towards the end of the episode, the Raise your Hand Say Yes book club is coming! We’re starting with The Big Leap by Gay Hendricks.

You guys. I adore Laura Simms! This interview was so fun to do because 1. Laura is my friend and 2. She is so smart! While I thought Laura and I would talk a lot about the hustle of being a new mom and an entrepreneur, our conversation quickly took a turn towards being about finding your purpose, appropriate because Laura helps people discover their purpose-driven careers as a career coach. We also talk about letting go of what other people are thinking, letting go of needing a "label" for yourself, and committing to something for the sake of learning.  Laura, you're the best! It was such a treat having you on the show! Thank you!!  PS. At the beginning of this episode, I also introduce something I’m super excited about: the Raise your Hand Say Yes book club.

I was super excited to talk with Kelly Rae Roberts this week on the podcast. She's such a gift!  Kelly Rae and I started our conversation by talking about boundaries and how you can take care of yourself in this crazy share-everything world. We also talked about how to embrace change and follow those whispers to just do something already! We also covered parenting, creative practices, and getting quiet. There's so much here!  Tweet us: As mentioned towards the end of the episode, Kelly Rae and I would LOVE to hear about the action you decided to take. Let us know on twitter! (Be sure to complete the tweet with your action!)

Ahh, I love Nicole and Delilah from Craftcation so so much and was thrilled to have them on the show this week!  We talked a LOT about partnerships and creative collaborations, but we also talked about how to (creatively) make the best of a shitty situation, what to do when things go wrong, and how to let things go to make room for the new in your life.  Nicole and Delilah, you are the best and I can't wait to hug you like crazy in March!  PS. Speaking of April, did you know that I'll be speaking at Craftcation 2015 along with some of my other creative friends (and podcast guests!) including: Kari Chapin, Emily McDowell, Elise Blaha Cripe, Mati McDonough...and so many more! Early bird tickets are still available.

Flora Bowley is someone I could interview for the podcast each and every week, knowing that we'd never run out of things to talk about! I was so excited to get to chat with her and think that this episode is the perfect one for us to kick off 2015 with!  This week, Flora and I talk about letting go. I love her take on working through the process of creating, whether you're a painter or a writer or just a human being trying to exist in this crazy world. We also talked about the awkward teenage years of the creative process and making choices. And, did you know that Flora changed her name a few years ago? You know I asked her about that too!  **100 Rejection Letters** - Registration open through 10/31/16 Show Notes:  Connect with Flora: Website | Twitter | Instagram Flora's book, Brave Intuitive Painting Painting workshops at Flora's studio Flora's blog post about changing her name Flora's painting video - she's so good y'all! 

Finally, the episode about money! When I thought about money talk, I knew that I had to have Bari Tessler Linden on the show - she is The Person who knows how to deal with all the money stuff, from the ins and outs of bookkeeping to overcoming money shame and bad habits. Bonus, she's super nice and lovely to talk with! In this episode, we talk about how to start (my favorite!) getting your money game in order, from the spiritual to the practical. Bari points out that your Money Story is your Life Story and that getting one in order will always impact the other! We also talk about what to do when the need to Quit your Day Job is chomping at your heels and what to do if you already have your own business. I hope to have many more conversations about money on this show. Because we all could use a reframe when it comes to money and finances and earning. Thank you Bari! You are a delight! 

Oh, Kari Chapin is one of my favorites! On this week's episode of RYHSY, we talk all about productivity and procrastination. We dig into the ugly truth of starting and how to get the work done. Really. We also talk about claiming and owning a title for yourself and how to take risks in your creative work and career. I relate to every single thing Kari says in this episode! Every. Single. Thing.  Kari, thank you.

Oh, Susannah! This week, I was thrilled to be able to interview Susannah Conway. I have been a fan of Susannah's photos and writing for years and have been so excited to share this episode with you. Susannah is a pro at keeping it real and we were able to cover so many topics, including: procrastination, owning your introverted-ness, trusting (and developing) your voice as an artist, learning and then learning some more, and using your art for healing.  It's a good one, you guys (I know! I say that every week!) and I hope you enjoy it!  **100 Rejection Letters** - Registration open through 10/31/16 Show Notes:  Connect with Susannah: Website | Twitter | Instagram Susannah's Books: This I Know: Notes on Unraveling the Heart | Instant Love: How to Make Magic and Memories with Polariods Parkinson's Law Jennifer Lee The Weepies, Unraveling Susannah's Unraveling e-course Sliding Doors The Dark Side of the Light Chasers by Debbie Ford Unraveling the Year Ahead workbook (free download) Susannah's free Find your Word e-mail course Susannah's Journal your Life e-course

Is it possible for me to be any more in love with Tanya Geisler than I am? No. No it is not.  I was thrilled to be able to interview Tanya for this week's show. In the interview, we talk about Tanya's work with the think that I think is the biggest threat to creative women: the Imposter Complex. And the conversation is so good! This stuff is crazy important and I am so grateful to Tanya for speaking about it in such a true and encouraging way.  Show Notes: Connect with Tanya: Website | Twitter | Facebook | Instagram Tanya's TedX talk: Owning our Authority Step into your Starring Role Imposter Syndrome on Wikipedia Rob Brezsny's Free Will Astrology

This week on Raise your Hand Say Yes, I was super excited to get to interview Tracy Benjamin of Shutterbean! (In case y'all aren't familiar with Tracy, she's my go-to for recipes. My current favorite is her olive oil banana bread. OMG.) As always, we talk about so much in this episode, but spend a lot of time discussing authentic and staying true to your voice. We also talk about the power of staying positive and what happens behind the scenes that people have no idea about.  Show Notes: Connect with Tracy: Website | Twitter | Instagram Tracy's podcast with Joy the Baker

Can anyone relate? (Hi. I can. Yes.)

This week on Raise your Hand Say Yes, I was thrilled to chat with my friend, Jen Hewett. Jen is an HR Consultant by day and a textile designer and artist by weekend and night and all the time in between.  What I thought would be a conversation about paying the bills quickly turned into a conversation about everything else, including finding your own creative community, something that I hear so many people say they are craving! We also talked about how to find time to make your creative work and what to do when things go wrong.  Show Notes: Connect with Jen: Website | Blog | Shop | Twitter | Instagram Jen's 52 Weeks of Printmaking Project Jen's new collection Jen's Kickstarter   Jen's Block Printing E-Course

This week on Raise your Hand Say Yes, I’m interviewing one of my favorite people in the world!  Michelle Ward, the When I Grow Up Coach, was kind enough to sit down with me to talk about letting go of dreams.  If you don't know Michelle's story, it's a good one! She went from having dreams of being a Broadway Baby to building her own career coaching business. Hear all about how she let go of one dream in favor of another and the turning points that got her to where she is today!  We also talk about the joy and burdens of being a multi-passionate person and how you can use that to create your own dream career.  Love you, Michelle! xoxo Show Notes: Connect with Michelle: Website | Blog | Facebook | Twitter  Parkinson's Law The War of Art, by Steven Pressfield Joseph Campbell and the Hero's Journey The Declaration of You!  My post: Why quitting your day job is not the answer.  Michelle's post: 20 jobs in 7 years.  Michelle's CreativeLive course: Create Your Dream Career Lesley DeSantis The Renaissance Soul by Margaret Lobenstine

In this episode of the podcast, Tara Mohr and I talk about what playing big means for women and what it actually looks like (you may be surprised!). We also talk about how praise can be just as damaging as criticism, what self-care really means, and how to focus on service first. We also dive into the topic of fear and how you can move past it towards what you want for your life.  It's time to change the world y'all. Let's hop to it. (Um. No pressure.)
