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.

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.

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.

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?

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. Wanna join me in hopping off the hamster wheel of self-improvement and looking inward with me?

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!

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.

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.

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. Speaking of activities you lose yourself in, get lost in this conversation with Eve and me!

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? Tune in to find out, and allow yourself to start where you start.

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!

From an Olympic athlete and a NASA team member to bestselling authors, activists, filmmakers, and artists, these women discuss how they got here—from their biggest regrets and failures to their successes and motivations.

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. I’m willing to hypothesize that it just might be worth it. Have questions that weren’t answered in this episode? Head over to TiffanyHan.com/asktiffany and let me know what you’re curious about.

Episode 400! Can you believe it? In honor of this milestone moment, as well as the 5th anniversary of my sobriety, this episode was recorded live in front of a Zoom audience. 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. I’m saying NO and making room for the yes’s that light me up. Care to join?

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. Some BIG changes are coming around the bend (TBD in Ep. 400!) and I’m so excited to dig in together. Take a breath and tune in!

Friction. Otherwise known as a sticky, uncomfortable feeling that makes it hard to move forward. Sometimes, it’s that restlessness that tells us it’s time to shift, yet very rarely gives us a clear direction or an easy fix.

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. Please consult your doctor if you would like to address your experience with ADHD.

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.

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. Living through a global pandemic certainly altered some of our daily routines, so today we’re discovering how to make the most of our jolt out of autopilot and shift into some fulfilling new habits.

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.

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. Tune in to find out more!

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.

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? For starters, listen to this episode and read Majo’s incredible book!

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.

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.

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!

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? Join me in scratching the surface of all of these questions and get a taste of what we’re going to explore in Grown-Up Gap Year!

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

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. Let’s start the journey together.

Join me today as I discuss my personal journey to diagnosis, how I approached the conversation with my doctor and advocated for myself, why I was quick to say yes to medication, what I’m currently processing on the other side of things. and the importance of destigmatizing women’s mental health challenges.

In my experience, there’s no stepping into an expansive, technicolor life without a handful of doubt and a healthy dose of faith. Join me as I chat about the 5 different types of Yes’s that show up most frequently in our lives and how our doubt plays a valuable role in stepping forward with faith.

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. Listen in for the pep talk you crave when things feel a bit more three-dimensional than you had anticipated.

I’m going to tell you all about my new program (eek!), the epiphany I had while planning it (spoiler alert: it required some tweaking), and what happens when you decide to stop “making it work”, and maybe just don’t do it.

Whether or not you’ve had the opportunity to go full Marie Kondo on your home just yet (I’m right there with you), there’s still so much to learn from “The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up”.

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! (Also, this is a great time to remind you that you’re allowed to both honor all the amazing things you’ve done up until now AND step into something new!)

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.

Today, though, I’m sharing the inconvenient whispers that led me to this change, how I navigated the process, and what all of this means for the future. For detailed show notes, visit www.tiffanyhan.com/blog/episode362.

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.

We often think that to get some momentum in our lives, we need to do and be more.

But what if gaining momentum actually required slowing down?

Today, I’m sharing how my guiding phrase of the year—bold and slow—is also how I approach momentum, plus how slowing down is how we can keep moving forward without ignoring our needs, desires, and all the things that matter most to us.

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.

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! 

Happy New Year! To kick of 2021, I'm sharing my guiding phrase for the year (it might be different from what you're expecting!) as well as sharing realizations, discoveries, and insights from my podcasting break.

My website & the Agency Archetypes quiz! 

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

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

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

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

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."

RYHSY on the Self-Fulfilling Prophecy of Fear

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

Baggage Reclaim Podcast

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."

The 12 Lies of the 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."

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:

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

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."

Everything is Spiritual by Rob Bell

RYHSY Ep. 335: Rob Bell on Everything is Spiritual and Apocalyptic Hope

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."

"I want people to experience the wonder and awe of their own existence."

"Having your palms up to let go is the only way you can receive anything."

Rob's new book: Everything is Spiritual

This week, I'm in conversation with creative coach, explorer, educator, designer, and Inner Circler Anne Ditmeyer.

Listen in to hear us talk about being uncool, giving yourself permission to be ridiculous, why getting lost is a good thing, what happens when you keep saying yes to opportunity, why you're allowed to seek out joy even during a pandemic, and the power of using creativity to solve problems. 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!

What She Said:

"Success that's built on a foundation of burnout is not success."

"It's not just about the business but who you are as a person - what you believe and what you want."

"You don't have to put all of your ambition on hold in order to feel good in your life."

"Whatever you need to do, start now... It's a journey."

RYHSY Episode on Burnout

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."

Those Timestamps:

00:28 - Living in the contradictions
08:06 - Hurry up or slow down?
13:31 - Have goals or detach from outcomes?
21:15 - Live your values or build relationships?
24:16 - Know where you want to go or live in the now?
30:21 - Take care of yourself or stay flexible
37:10 - Too fast...Too much or Too slow...Not enough aka How to proceed if you feel like there's SO MUCH you can't control.

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."

Those Timestamps:

Show Notes: 

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

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'll do it!' yes

37:42 - The 'Oh Fuck I kinda hate this I kinda love this!' yes

39:55 - Self-communion and self-agency

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

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!

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."

Gina's podcast: Swoon

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!

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.

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. And another that looks like aligning myself with my personal #1 value: integrity. It's a journey!

This week's quickie is my response to a listener question.

Elizabeth wrote wondering "Keeping at something can yield a masterpiece, or it can result in not much. So how does it work? Is it a question of passion? Enjoying the process but being detached from the result? And does everyone have the ability to keep going or does it require a certain kind insight into yourself?"

And while I don't have a Clear Cut Answer, I do have many thoughts. Enjoy, enjoy!

This week I'm talking with relational life and leadership coach James-Olivia Chu Hillman and we covered so much ground, including how what we've been taught about relationships may not be serving us, why we need to consider our relationships to ourselves before thinking of other people, how to start telling the truth about what we want, and the distinctions between discomfort, pain, and suffering.

James-Olivia is one of my favorite people and this first-half of our conversation won't disappoint. Enjoy, enjoy!!

Sooo...you say you want a certain something for your life, yes? But is it possible you're not even playing in the *right* pool to make it happen? Let's discuss!

Ahh! Episode 300 is live (with a MASSIVE giveaway)!

Listen to find out all the times over the past 300 episodes and 5.5 years when I thought I *couldn't* do something, but (spoiler!) I ended up being able to follow through.

You'll also hear about some very specific things I've changed my mind on since I started RYHSY as well as a few unanswered questions I still have for myself and my work. 

You'll also get to hear me answer a few listener questions, including how I'm planning to move my family and biz to France this summer, what my book is going to be about, and what to do if/when you don't know what to do!

Soooo...we all know that it's important to act from a place of personal agency, not giveaway our power, and keep fear out of the driver's seat of our lives. But what does it look like in action? I'm going to show you this week.

This week's quickie is an answer to a listener question about how to move on from a not-great job situation that involves a friend, an investment of resources, and the knowing that staying isn't actually an option.

The question is: What are some ways of moving on without the guilt?

And my answer is: It may not be possible to completely dodge the guilt, buuuuut it is possible to find peace.

This week, I'm asking the one little question that will both help you realize what goals to set down and which to hold on to AND help you keep going when that going gets tough (which it inevitably will).

Happy Friday. You're amazing.

Soooo...what happens when you know that the plans you have for your life aren't going to please everyone? And how do you know how to proceed when you don't want to leave anyone behind and you also are ready to start saying yes to new exciting things?

I've got you covered in this week's Friday Quickie, although BEWARE that, when it comes to other people, the answer isn't always an easy one!

Welcome to the newest addition to the RYHSY family: the Friday Quickie! 

Each week, I'll be releasing a short solo episode on Friday where I introduce (or dive deeper on!) a single seed of a topic for you to consider.

This week's episode focuses on one single word: yet. You'll hear about why I think that we're often our own worst enemy when it comes to living our lives and how this word might just change everything!
