#199: How To Step Into Your Feminine Leadership Era with Lisa Malia Norman

Tue, 10 Mar 2026 13:15:00 -0700

What if there were a way to lead with more sustainability and fulfillment (and leave the burnout behind)? My guest for this episode, Lisa Malia Norman, explains how Feminine Leadership is rooted in intuition, intentionality, and authenticity.

Instead of pushing through burnout or following traditional, patriarchal models of success, feminine leadership invites us to trust our inner wisdom and create regenerative outcomes that sustain us, rather than deplete us.

Lisa shares how her journey in corporate and as a breast cancer survivor lead her to founding supportive communities and leadership programs for women.

We discuss how creating intentional community spaces for and with women—like women’s circles and masterminds—allows women to shed old expectations, be seen authentically, and step into new leadership roles that are aligned with their values and desires.

The episode is filled with actionable insights on bringing more joy, clarity, and purpose into your life and work, simply by leading in a way that honors your whole self.

If you’re ready to move beyond hustle culture and explore a leadership style that’s more compassionate, cyclical, and community-focused, this conversation will inspire you to tap into your innate power and begin leading from a more regenerative place.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

The power of dedicated communities for women- for genuine support and connection
How to navigating burnout and honoring your true capacity as a creative, leader, and human
How to move from the toxic “hustle and grind” culture to regenerative, sustainable leadership and living
Why creative business owners need spaces to lay down the masks and be seen as they are

#198: How To Start Using Pinterest to Build Your Business

Tue, 03 Mar 2026 06:00:00 -0700

If you're building a business that is rooted in intuition, soul and strategy - then in this episode, I'll be sharing an intuitive way to plan your brand using Pinterest—no social media overwhelm required.

We'll learn why Pinterest is a unique tool for inspiration and organic growth, and that it actually works more like a search engine than a traditional social platform - the so-called Pinterest "algorithm" in 2026 is driven by intent. Meaning, they are valuing pins that leverage phrases that mirror what someone might actually be searching for, and the more specific and niche the better! This is also especially good news if you're planning on using Pinterest to share your podcast.

Of course, we're starting with some reflective journaling, so you can gain clarity, collect resources, and shape your business vision in a way that truly feels good to you.

Whether you're dreaming up a new idea or refreshing your current brand, get ready for actionable tips, personal insights, and permission to explore, play, and trust your process.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

How Pinterest can serve as a soulful alternative for brand building—beyond typical social media hustle
A unique Pinterest process for vision boarding and intuitive journaling to clarify your business dreams and creative projects
How to approach marketing and strategy intuitively, leveraging long-form content for aligned, sustainable growth
How to set yourself up now - by organizing inspiration and resources visually (and practically) for easier action later

#197: Podcasting For Authors: How to Create A Platform with Podcasting with Laura Cathcart Robbins

Tue, 24 Feb 2026 06:00:00 -0700

If you're an author or an aspiring author - developing an engaged community around your work has become a necessary asset whether you're self-publishing or pitching major publishers.

My former podcast production agency client, Laura Cathcart Robbins, peels back the curtain on how we leveraged podcasting not just as a creative outlet, but as an intentional launching pad for her writing career and public platform.

After Laura received the hard truth from an agent that "no one knows who you are" and that memoir is the hardest genre to publish without visibility, Laura Cathcart Robbins embraced podcasting as part of her author journey. With myself (Christina Barsi) as her executive producer and strategist, we created "The Only One in the Room" podcast to build credibility, create an engaged audience, develop her personal brand platform as an author and support her memoir-writing-style weekly in how we crafted the podcast's format and feel.

The Only One In The Room became a top 1% podcast globally with millions of downloads and Laura Cathcart Robbins not only got a book deal with her favorite publisher - she became a best-seller with her memoir "Stash".

If you’re curious about how launching a show can become the springboard for bringing your book-writing dreams to life - this one's for you.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

How podcasting can be a strategic platform for building your author platform
How podcasting develops the engaged audience needed for a successful book launch
Why developing your author voice can deepen with the practice of podcasting

Are you starting a coaching business and wanting to navigate from your intuition and creativity?

Today, our host, Christina Barsi sits down with returning guest Jill Badonsky, founder of Kaizen Muse Creativity Coaching, for a deep dive into the journey of building a coaching business rooted in creativity and intuition.

Drawing from her rich background in psychiatry and art therapy, Jill Badonsky shares how her passion for creativity inspired her to break away from traditional workplaces and forge her own path.

Jill explains why she ditched the “one-size-fits-all” business plans in favor of intuitive, energized steps that felt aligned with her values and personality.

This conversation is packed with actionable insights, from reframing the way you approach business tasks (turning “I have to” into “I get to”), to trusting the process, leveraging the power of fun, and crafting unique offerings that resonate with clients.

Christina Barsi is also certified in Kaizen Muse Creativity Coaching, and together, they discuss how to stand out in a crowded coaching market, avoid the pitfalls of comparison, and focus on service and self-kindness to create an authentic, rewarding coaching business.

When we're creating something new or changing directions in our life - the thing often standing in our way is the confidence to move forward.

To help me have this conversation, I'm joined by "confidence sherpa", bestselling author, and podcast host Nicole Kalil. Together, we unpack what it truly means to be confident and authentic in a world that is often filled with noise, comparison, and external validation.

Nicole Kalil breaks down confidence from the etymology of the word to the difference in how men and women experience it through-out a life span. But more importantly, we get into how to take small steps, how to identify "confidence derailers" in your life and how cultivating self-trust sits at the center of it all.

Be sure to listen through for Nicole's real-life example of what starting from self-trust looks like with her podcast This is Woman's Work.

Podcasting has become a noisy place. There are now A LOT of voices sharing what makes or breaks a podcast creator's success. But the truth is - only YOU can make that call.

#183: The Secret To Starting Over

Tue, 18 Nov 2025 06:00:00 -0700

Whether you’re in the midst of a major life transition or considering a fresh start - I want to remind you that the messy middle that comes along with this kind of shift, requires a lot of self-kindness.

One great way to begin to invite in more kindness with yourself is to be curious. To allow for questions like "what if" to exist and begin to lead the way.

I talk about taking bold action in this episode - but I want to think of this as "curious & creative action". What answers are coming up when you ask yourself "what if?" Then what is one small action you can take to follow that curiosity that feels fun and creative?

I share with you the time in my life where I was discovering this for the first time and how my "what if" turned into the discovery of new interests and the exploration of developing characters and a story for these characters to come to life within.

I got curious and then I took action by getting creative in ways that were new to me.

That led to new possibilities that would have not presented themselves if I wasn't already on this path of permission. I truly believe that possibility follows permission.

Before I knew it - my life was evolving and a new chapter was emerging.

What comes up when you ask "what if"?

Then what is a bold action or in other words a "new curious and creative action" that you might take to explore your "what if"?

In this episode, you’ll learn:

How being curious, letting go and taking small creative action can lead you towards fulfillment
The power of "what if"
How permission and curiosity are an act of self-kindness
How you have the power to change your life
Why it's never too late to start over

#178: What Is Energy Healing & How Can It Help Your Success? with Lisa Thomas | Founder of Epigenetics for Global Impact

Tue, 14 Oct 2025 06:00:00 -0700

What if the places you’re feeling stuck are less related to your mindset or your learned behavior - but rather are at a cellular inherited? We will be exploring Epigenetics, which is based on the life experiences of our ancestors.

Our guest today is Lisa Thomas, and she will be talking with us about how this works and how we can begin transforming our success trajectory on a cellular level. Lisa shares that “We inherit many of our ancestors gifts and talents as well as their scarcity, trauma, and negative belief systems.”

I met Lisa at an event where she was a panel speaker and I immediately knew that I had to bring her onto the Boss Goddess podcast to talk with us about this topic - because it is not just fascinating - but also very empowering.

Lisa reveals how inherited or ancestral patterns that show up in our lives like shame, scarcity, and even specific fears can impact our lives in ways we may not be aware of. She shares how letting go of these inherited beliefs can lead to profound personal and professional transformation.

If you’ve ever wondered why certain struggles persist despite your best efforts, or you’re looking for empowering ways to release what no longer serves you, this conversation with Lisa Thomas just might be the catalyst for a new chapter. Stay tuned for a wealth of wisdom, actionable steps, and a whole new perspective on what’s possible for your life.

Here’s a little more about Lisa Thomas:

Lisa is the creator of the acclaimed Soul Awakening MethodTM, is a leader in the transformation space and has helped thousands shift their lives by tapping into their Epigenetics and healing the wounds of the past that held them back from the lives they wanted.

She is an advocate for a powerful new future and is doing her part to help us reach it by helping her worldwide audience release the DNA coding that has passed down deep-seated fears and anxiety that have stopped them from creating the health, wealth, and relationships they crave. Lisa is a personal consultant to many six-figure and multi-six-figure business owners, working with them to break free from the shackles of their inherited beliefs, allowing them to unleash their true capabilities, and have the global impact they know they are capable of. She is also the author of the enlightening book "Mistakes Into Money”.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

What Epigenetics is and how understanding it can empower you to break limiting cycles
How inherited patterns and generational trauma can impact your decision-making, and success
Why feeling stuck isn’t always about mindset—sometimes it’s coded on a cellular level
The ripple effect of healing yourself—how it benefits future generations and those around you

#170: How To Move Forward With Grief with CARA | Singer, Songwriter, Producer

Tue, 19 Aug 2025 06:00:00 -0700

What if grief isn't something you heal from? But rather, something you must learn to move forward with.

In today’s powerful episode, I sit down with singer, songwriter, and producer CARA for an incredibly raw and honest conversation about art, grief, and transformation. CARA opens up about her journey through personal tragedy, including the devastating loss of her brother and mother, and how she channeled her grief into the music for her upcoming autobiographical album, The Kronicles.

This album features chapters from every corner of CARA’s life—including her time in the cannabis industry and her friendship with the late Gangsta Boo of Three 6 Mafia, whose voice is featured IN the album in the song CARA KUSH, produced by CARA.

We have an exploratory, raw and honest conversation about how creativity can be both an anchor and an outlet in times of pain, why “healing” from grief can be a misleading idea, and the importance of finding ways—big or small—to process emotions and keep moving forward.

#169: Why Reaching Your Goals Hasn’t Brought You Fulfillment with June Suepunpuck | AKA Joy Guide June)

Tue, 12 Aug 2025 06:00:00 -0700

Are you one of the few who actually pursued your dreams? Only to discover that there is no such thing as "arriving". You don't get to the other side. Your dream isn't something you achieve...it turns out. So what happens next?

In this episode, I sit down with June Suepunpuck, also known as the Joy Guide June, for a deeply honest conversation about what happens when chasing your dreams leaves you feeling empty, burned out, and questioning everything you thought you wanted.

Together, we explore the messy middle—that liminal space between who you thought you were and who you’re becoming.

June shares her personal journey, from following the “right” path and achieving success on paper to experiencing profound loss, burnout, and eventually, a radical rethinking of what true joy means. She opens up about the importance of letting go of old identities, facing uncomfortable truths, and un-learning the pressure to prove your worth.

This conversation is full of warmth, humor, and wisdom and is all about finding alignment, building community (even through adult friendship struggles!), and navigating all the unexpected twists of personal transformation.

If you’re wondering why reaching your goals hasn’t brought you the fulfillment you imagined—or if you’re craving permission to step into the next chapter with more honesty and joy—this episode is for you.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

Why chasing the “dream” or "performing success" doesn’t deliver joy or fulfillment—and what truly does
How to recognize when you’ve outgrown your current path and the courage it takes to choose something more true to who you are
Finding joy as a practice, not a destination, especially as a creative, empath, or entrepreneur
Embracing “the messy middle” and learning that real transformation rarely looks picture-perfect
Why community, vulnerability, and the willingness to be witnessed are essential (and healing) for creative, soul-led leaders

Tue, 05 Aug 2025 06:00:00 -0700

If you're feeling stuck right now - what is one way you might begin to seek guidance? Is there a community or network that might offer just the right support and vibe or maybe...you can be the one to create it?

In this episode, I sit down with Carrie Murray, the powerhouse founder of the Business Relationship Alliance (which I recently joined!)—a vibrant community supporting women and non-binary entrepreneurs.

#166: Intention Setting Meditation with Christina Barsi

Tue, 22 Jul 2025 06:00:00 -0700

Reflect and reset with me! Tomorrow is my birthday. So I thought I would offer you a moment of stillness and intention.

I feel like birthdays are a personal new year of sorts. They can be an opportunity to reflect and to reset.

So today, as my reflection, I am re-sharing a meditative episode I released back in May of 2023 called Pause with Me & Set An Intention.

My reset this year is to continue this process of "untangling" that I’ve been on for most of this year so far, and also to invite in the possibility of letting go of embodying other people’s energy and all that comes with that. Their goals, their aspirations, their blocks - all of the things that, as an empath, and introvert and intuitive - I easily tap into.

But to instead, allow it to be their journey and allow myself to offer support without taking it on. The people-pleaser and perfectionist in me has to be very intentional when it comes to this and I’m starting to get better at placing myself at a higher position in my value system. Because I know that when I can do this - everyone I serve will also benefit.

My other intention for this year is more peace. To me, peace, in this moment, represents security, confidence, trust, freedom, rest, flow, ease, love and moments for stillness.

I invite you to set an intention with me as I walk into my next year in this life. Enjoy.

If you’re curious in how podcasting as a medium can be the container that awakens you, evolves you, creates deep connection and resonance, can be the place you explore your passion or solve your most pressing problems, or unfold the business you’ve been dreaming of or connect with the minds that have gone before you - then keep listening.

My guest today, Alex Sanfilippo, shares his journey like never before. These questions led us down a path of depth, divinity and raw honesty in ways that I wasn’t expecting. The way this conversation took shape is a testament to the reason this medium feels sacred to me.

It’s not just a transactional moment that flies past you in seconds that you have to re-create constantly in the way that content does (ahem...social media).

It’s not just content. It's connection. And it has the ability to change lives.

Alex Sanfilippo is a podcast host and the founder of a podcasting software company specifically focused on independent podcast hosts and their guests to elevate their voices through podcasting and be heard - called PodMatch.

#164: Are You Dimming Your Light? with Eva Simone of Embodiment Is Everything

Tue, 08 Jul 2025 06:00:00 -0700

Do you feel like there is more you have to share than you've been putting out there?

It was at the age of 30 that I started to come into my own awareness around this and began the long and deep journey of untangling it. Of coming back into my own essence and seeking ways to express it. To meet myself in my purpose and create the life I really want to live - which can only happen when we come home to ourselves.

And that is what we’re talking about today.

My guest, Eva Simone is a High-Frequency Feminine Mentor & Coach and helps women connect with and embody their Divine Feminine and she is the founder of Embodiment Is Everything. She shares her own story with us about how she went from living under these layers that we’ve created to keep ourselves safe but that also keep us in pain and strain, and how she got curious to begin to awaken to her feminine power.

We’ll learn how to begin to slow down and invite ourselves back in so that we can embrace and embody the parts of us that let us shine and let us find the flow. And when we can step into flow, it opens up all the possibilities. The world is a hustled place - but we can choose another way to create our abundance and do business and bring back the lightness and joy that I know is possible. So let’s dive in.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

How Eva defines the "Divine Feminine"
How to untangle learned belief systems & come back to your truth
How hustle-culture can perpetuate scarcity mentality & lead to Burn-out
How divine feminine energy can help guide us back to balance

#163: How To Turn Your Passion Into Profit with Darcie Cameron

Tue, 01 Jul 2025 06:00:00 -0700

Finding your passion isn’t always about one clear calling—it’s often a collection of curiosities, creative whispers, and moments of alignment that evolve over time. And turning those passions into a sustainable career? That takes self-trust, experimentation, and permission to do things differently.

In today’s episode, we’re exploring how to connect with what lights you up—and how to begin weaving that into the way you work, lead, and live. Whether you’ve outgrown your current path, feel scattered in your interests, or are wondering if your creativity could become something “real,” this conversation is your guide.

We’ll talk about what passion actually looks like (spoiler: it doesn’t always feel fiery), how to listen to your inner compass, and why you don’t need to niche down in order to move forward. You’ll also learn how small, honest steps—like saying yes to a creative urge or giving yourself space to play—can open doors you never imagined.

To help us bring these insights to life, we’re joined by author and multi-passionate, Darcie Cameron, who shares her personal journey of turning a patchwork of talents—from poetry to yoga to romance writing—into a joyful, authentic career that fits her.

Darcie also shares how launching The Multi-Passionate Pathway podcast helped her claim her voice and carve out space for all the pieces of her identity. Through storytelling, soulful self-expression, and real conversations, Darcie created a container that not only aligned with her passions—but also opened new doors in her creative career.

In this episode you will learn:

What passion really means—and how to spot it in your life
Why podcasting can be a powerful launchpad for finding clarity, purpose, and community
Why “multi-passionate” isn’t a problem, it’s a superpower
How to take aligned action (even if you're still figuring it out)
How to turn your passion into profit

#162: How To Make Intuition-Led Business Decisions with Makuyo of SIIKA Herb + Honey Co.

Tue, 24 Jun 2025 06:00:00 -0700

What if your Intuition was leading down a path of what to say "yes" to? What to create next? And what if you could actually build a BUSINESS from that place of knowing?

If you’ve been tuning into the newer season of Boss Goddess, then you may have noticed an emphasis on leveraging Intuition when it comes to business.

When we can tap into that truth that we already have within us - that can guide us in our decision making and can inform us on what feels best for US to pursue on a big level and also with smaller decisions that we encounter through out the day - we gain access to a powerful way to navigate our lives.

My guest today, has done just that. She has created a beautiful business infused with this message to honor yourself in your truth, as you are, in all of your being. Which is to no surprise because once you hear her story in how this business was brought to life, and how it unfolded, you’ll see how organic creating something from that intuitive connection can be.

Her name is Makuyo, and her brand is called SIIKA Herb + Honey Co. where she primarily creates herbal-infused honeys.

She shares that the vision for SIIKA Herb + Honey Co. was given to her while in Ghana in December 2021. Makuyo envisioned her brand to be able to merge the seemingly divergent domains of the feminine spirit and luxury—revealing their shared depth and richness.

Desiring to harmonize her own professional and personal passions, she created a brand encompassing her journey as a businesswoman with her experiences in holistic health, herbalism and yoga.

Makuyo shares that "she believes that in a world of influence and imitation, women can be both goddesses and go-getters, building their lives and careers on their own terms".

The brand’s mission is to unite holistic health and feminine sensuality with self care. The carefully curated infusions in every SIIKA Herb + Honey Co. product are created to nourish and nurture the body, mind, and spirit.

If you’re wondering how to make more space for your own intuition to speak a little louder and guide you a little more often towards decisions that are in alignment with WHO you are in both business and in life, Makuyo shares how she cultivated her practice of intuitive connection and self-awareness and how it led to guiding her to creating her brand SIIKA Honey + Herb Co. Be sure to listen all the way to end for some guidance from Makuyo on how YOU can get started with your own intuitive practice or deepen or reconnect with the one you already have.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

How to determine the difference between fear and intuition
The role the subconscious mind plays in our belief-system
Learning how intuition speaks to you through your emotions and body
How to leverage your intuition to create and navigate a business

#160: How to Get Over your Paralysis Analysis & Take Inspired Action

Tue, 10 Jun 2025 06:00:00 -0700

Does a dream or passion you have feel out of reach? What if the key to shortening the path was to first, allow ANY step to be taken that feels good to you and second, open up to the idea of it taking an unexpected form.

In this episode I share with you how this played out in MY life and how I allowed for the space to start thinking differently. It was scary. I was reluctant. And quite honestly, it was NOT what I wanted to do. But if I didn't - I would have missed out on so much magic. (p.s. this is how podcasting came into my life and my dreams started to come true - as corny as that sounds, it's true!)

If you are feeling stuck in analysis paralysis—overthinking every move, doubting whether you’re ready, and holding yourself back from taking action, you are not alone. And more importantly, you are actually in a place of growth - a moment of evolution. This is a GOOD THING!

For years, I waited for permission, obsessed over “doing it right,” and compared myself to everyone else—which only kept me feeling powerless and paralyzed.

Everything changed for me when I started taking messy, inspired action—trusting my creativity, using my voice, and showing up for what truly lights me up.

Podcasting became my way out of overthinking and into purposeful doing, which I share with you in my story of how I came to create my science fiction noir audio drama podcast called DIMENSION.

I want to inspire you to do the same. Stop waiting for perfect conditions, stop over-analyzing every step, and start moving, even if it feels a little scary or uncertain. When you act from your passion, you create momentum, confidence, and real results. Let yourself experiment. Trust that imperfect action is better than standing still.

Trust that your vision for yourself - your passion - is there for a reason and WORTH pursuing.

This episode is your sign to break free from analysis paralysis and finally take the inspired action your dreams deserve. Let’s step into our power and create something amazing—starting today!

In this episode you will learn:

How to notice when you might be blocked.
The importance of taking new action.
How to trust yourself and take steps even when you don't know the outcome.
What Imposter Syndrome really is and how to move on from it.
Why podcasting might be your answer to taking steps towards your dream.

How will you know what your first steps are or if you're even on the right path?

This is where an Intuitive Business Strategy comes in.

No matter how seasoned you are in your industry or how ready you might be to lean into a more aligned career, it all starts with learning how to create an Intuitive Business Strategy because it's designed to honor you where you are now, where you want to go and who you are at your core. And the first step is going to be stepping into that awareness and the observation stage.The way we can begin is with a gentle Self-Attunement practice.

In this episode, your host Christina Barsi will break down:

What an Intuitive Business Strategy is.
How an Intuitive Strategy works.
Other types of Intuition (emotional and spiritual).
The importance of a Self-Attunement process within this strategy.

Introducing Boss-Goddess

Thu, 12 Dec 2024 00:00:00 -0700

Welcome to the newly re-branded Boss-Goddess podcast, hosted by Christina Barsi! (Formerly known as Be Bold Begin). This conversation picks up where Be Bold Begin left off but this time…we are turning your inspiration into aligned action.

Now is your time to answer the call, to let it be easy and to trust what feels good. Success and strategy does not need to be strained, painful or overly formulaic. In fact, for heart-led, intuitive creators…that is not sustainable. You’ll experience more fulfillment, more successes, take more risks and create more magic if you attune to YOUR uniqueness instead. This works in life AND in business. And in this podcast, you'll learn how.

Barsi will be sharing her framework from her signature Intuitive Creators™ Method to guide you back to your most empowered and aligned self - Your BOSS-GODDESS self.

Whether that means finally giving yourself the permission to start a heart-led creative or spiritual business or side project or to expand the possibilities for the one you have…you’re in the right place. Get ready to attune to who you really are, detune to what is no longer serving you and align your actions with your truth.

Are you ready to do it differently?

Tue, 10 Oct 2023 07:00:00 -0700

Are you finding yourself in a place of “in-between”? It may be fueled by new realizations, new priorities, new creative ideas or heart-messages, or something just emerging that needs more space to develop clearly... This process can look differently depending on what is needed. You may be experiencing burnout, you may be going through some healing, or you may be ready for a new challenge or a new way of doing what you do or how you want to show up next, or you may be burning it all down and starting anew or giving yourself the opportunity to lean into something that was always there…but you’re NOW considering answering that call.

My guest today is Lisa Malia Norman, a Vision and Impact Strategist. She dissolves the lines between spirituality, leadership and business. Lisa is a women’s health and wellness leader and educator, breast cancer survivor and mama, feminine wisdom and embodied leadership coach, podcast host, nonprofit founder and CEO. She helps people connect to their innate wisdom, trust their intuition and embody their sacred purpose to access a life of deep clarity and unapologetic joy.

Lisa also founded Evoke, The Feminine Leadership Immersion to bring more women together who want to live with greater clarity, purpose and joy through intention, ritual and mentorship as they navigate a new way forward through all the transitions of life, family and business.

Tue, 12 Sep 2023 10:00:00 -0700

How often do you get the chance to actually LISTEN to what your body is telling you? For example, if you're tired, you take a break and rest or if you're stressed, you pause and take time away...In this episode we are talking about the power the body has to heal, how we acquire sickness and how that can serve as a wake-up call to change the way that we live.

Tap Into Your Body's Wisdom With Jessie Rose, Relationship & Identity Breakthrough Coach Episode 142

Tue, 18 Jul 2023 07:00:00 -0700

I’ve spent the last couple of years exploring the power and wisdom that we have access to within OURSELVES as human beings, with my guests on this show. They have transformed my own understanding of what we’re capable of, and have challenged my own beliefs of what is truly possible and accessible by hearing and holding space for their stories. My guest today does not fall short of that, by any means.

Jessie Rose is a Relationship & Identity Breakthrough Coach and has a background in Core Process Psychotherapy and is trained and qualified as a Master Coach in the Personal Development field.

Transforming trauma, suffering & limitation into personal freedom and success in relationships, health, performance, and purpose-led-service-based careers. Whilst being true to oneself, and truly aligned to ones purpose and vision.

In 2005, Jessie had a near-death experience that also hospitalized her for months. Her care-consultant told her she had just 24-hours to live, and offered her no real hope of recovery, so Jessie had no choice but to come home to herself. She managed to internalize her strength and was able to make a miraculous, and unexplainable recovery. Her experiences taught her that the human spirit and the human body are capable of far more than we think possible and to never give up.

How Tapping into Creativity Brings Us Closer To Our Humanness: Presenting-Grow Forward Today With Paul D. Casey Episode 140

Tue, 04 Jul 2023 07:00:00 -0700

I’ve spent a lot of my life trying to not acknowledge my humanness. Trying to bury it, feeling lots of shame and guilt for having human experiences and for not showing up more perfectly. If this sounds relatable to you, you’re not alone. And it truly was creativity that has saved me time and time again from the trappings of these unrealistic expectations. This is probably why I fell in love with the craft of acting, it’s also why I love psychology and neuroscience, it’s what becoming a Creativity Coach did for me, it’s the reason I love the imperfect process of podcasting and I’m now obsessed with creating permission for everyone I meet or have an opportunity to communicate with, to BE authentic. To BE human. To BE.

I had the privilege to be a guest on the Grow Forward Today podcast, hosted by Paul Casey and we explore the essence of being human through our creativity. Here’s my conversation with Paul Casey on HIS podcast Grow Forward Today.

Tue, 27 Jun 2023 07:00:00 -0700

Do you ever tell yourself that you're too old to have what you truly desire? To take the time to make the changes that would literally SHIFT your life for the better?

My guest Jo Ann Richards is here to share that "it's never too late...and there is still so much to do". Now in her 60's she wrote her first book, left the Mormon church for a belief in fairies & UFO's (yes, you read that correctly) and is more excited and joyful about her life than ever before.

The Key To Transform Your Life! Episode 137

Tue, 13 Jun 2023 07:00:00 -0700

What if the next transformational story you heard...was YOURS? We've had so many wonderful inspiring guests on this show, sharing the moment in their life when everything changed, when they connected with something deep inside them, the wisdom of their soul, whispering to them "there is another way". Begging them to embark on their journey of self-discovery and transformation.

And they lived to tell about it!

If there is one thing I've learned through listening to their stories, gleaning some of their wisdom, and in turn experiencing this kind of transformation in my own life thanks to the tools I learned through my Kaizen-Must Creativity Coaching practice & Reiki combined with my own magical additions I've discovered...it's this: your potential is waiting for you to unlock it. And your Intuitive connection is the KEY.

I've spend years working on a process I could share with you that had all of the components it needs to ensure you are gently guided, held, and guaranteed to experience epiphanies and growth. To create the transformation that will bring more joy and fulfillment into your life. And it finally took form.

How To Use The Power Of Your Voice To Speak Notes of Love & Authenticity with Judy Rodman, of All Things Vocal Episode 127

Tue, 04 Apr 2023 16:44:51 -0700

Your voice is a powerful tool and what you say to yourself can be extremely shifting...and how you decide to share your voice is equally as powerful!

My journey has largely been focused on themes connected around the power of voice. I believe purpose and message are directly related to speaking our truths and when we speak our truths confidently we have the power to not just change our own lives but to change the world. My conversation with the seasoned and accomplished Judy Rodman of All Things Vocal breaches all of those themes as we walk through the journey that is her amazing life. If there is one takeaway you have as you listen...let it be that your voice is indeed valid and worthy. And that love is truly at the core of a joyful and inspiring life.

How To Co-Create With Spirit To Live The Aligned Life Meant For You With Clare Briglio, Spiritual Director Episode 125

Tue, 21 Mar 2023 10:00:00 -0700

Do you feel like you are leveraging your natural gifts, the things that are either easy for you or that you just love, in the way you earn your living? There is no wrong answer. YOUR answer to this question just gives you information on where you’re at with this idea. And you may even feel like these things don’t need to be in alignment...but what if they where? How would things change for you?

My guest today, Clare Briglio, is a Spiritual Director who helps guide individuals in discovering and expanding their individual relationships with Spirit. Clare is also an interior designer, a jewelry designer, a dream interpreter and what I would call a creative person. She shares her personal Spiritual journey and how creativity along with lots of permission began to enliven her own connection with self and Spirit to guide her to her most essential self.

The Secret To Starting Is Giving Yourself Permission To Make Mistakes Episode 124

Tue, 14 Mar 2023 10:00:00 -0700

This is where I tell you to go F-it up. Yes, in this episode I’m personally giving you permission to fuck it up. Because there is a point in time where it becomes more important to START, to BEGIN than to keep preparing and preparing.

You’ve got to start. Start before you think you’re ready, start so that you can give yourself an opportunity to make discoveries and grow because you’ve begun.

This episode is taken from a six-episode series called BEGIN PODCASTING (episode 45 -50) that we released at the beginning of 2021, but the message here is still relevant today. Whether you’re starting a podcast or something else…you must begin so that you can start to make mistakes. In fact…make those mistakes on purpose so that you can learn and get better! Like, I said “permission to F it up”.

How To Press Play On Your Life With Podcasting with Jason Gilikin, Founder of Earfluence Episode 123

Tue, 07 Mar 2023 11:00:00 -0700

Do you have a story to tell? How about a message on your heart that is ready to be delivered? My guest today, founder of podcast company Earfluence, Jason Gilikin shares his why behind bringing the legacies forward of anyone willing to authentically share their story...their purpose through the power of podcasting.

I've said it before and I'll share with you again that the lack of barriers that come with podcasting allows us to be ourselves, to show others that who they are and their experiences are valid and deserve sharing and that there is room for our authentic message. Jason shares with us that the best way to get started is to just press play...and start. The rest will follow. But you HAVE to be bold and begin in order to make your next discovery and possibly help that person on the other side of the audio listening for answers.

The Key To Confidence With Drexwell Seymour, Author & Partner at HLB (TCI) Ltd Episode 122

Tue, 28 Feb 2023 11:00:00 -0700

Do you or have you ever struggled with your confidence? The power of confidence has the ability to change how we experience ourselves and our lives.

And I’m purposefully not saying that it changes how we achieve things in our lives because my guest today shares that he struggled with his confidence but on paper he has achieved many things, like receiving a full scholarship for a BA in finance at age 16 and building two thriving companies, an accounting firm and a property management company. But something was missing.

Our guest is Drexwell Seymour and he is the author of an internationally best-selling book called Rise Up And Take Your Position as well as the host of a youtube channel and a weekly radio show called Financially Speaking. He shares that he “is a man on a mission to inspire, encourage and influence others to overcome setbacks and systemic injustice and to find their purpose in life”.

How To Use Your Nervous System To Atune To Your Natural Vibration with Sandra Bershad, Somatic-Based Coach Episode 120

Tue, 14 Feb 2023 11:00:00 -0700

Do you struggle with feelings like these? This is a direct quote from my guest Sandra Bershad: “As a young woman with a high level of education in her field and her own business, I was more than qualified and successful in most people’s eyes, and yet struggling on a consistent basis to trust myself and feel confident in my gifts and where my intuition and heart were guiding me. I knew I was a medicine woman and leader with big work to do, and yet I felt like an impostor who hadn’t truly healed enough to embody her purpose and true mission.”

Sandra Bershad, she is a Somatic-based Coach, a brand strategist, and a creative consultant among many other things. You may find yourself relating to that first quote of hers because I think that a lot of us struggle with self-trust and imposter syndrome and if you do then you’ll want to hear how she found ways to work with her nervous-system to improve her quality of life and then also applying all of this to running a business and helping others.

BEING | Why You Are Already Enough Episode 119

Tue, 07 Feb 2023 11:00:00 -0700

We worry a lot about what we what are DOING...but what about BEING? What I mean by that is this idea of something I often say, which is “you are enough” and “you already have everything you need”. But what does that really mean?

Listen in as we consider that the answers, the shifts, the transformation, all of the things are available to you NOW. Not somewhere in the future when you BECOME [fill in the black] or HAVE [fill in the blank]. It’s more about gently adding light to who you already are and allowing your true "being" to reveal itself to you and all it has to offer you to fulfill your desires.

Seven Questions To Unearth Your TRUEST Path Episode 115

Tue, 10 Jan 2023 11:00:00 -0700

I love this time of year because it does really have an energy of freshness if we let it. And rather than thinking of what we feel didn't work last year or focusing on a resolution because to me that is too...resolute and lacks permission to honor where you are when it shifts...

I like to use this time to still be intentional, and ask myself what I'd like to release that isn't serving me any longer, honor the fact that they did at one point and then tune to what energy is aligned with me now and form the new intentions that will serve me best next.

JOIN ME HERE FOR FREE: https://ahmnetwork.mn.co/

Here are the questions I speak in the episode to get you started:

What do you really want?
How do you really want to feel each day?
What is most important for you...if you were to die tomorrow, what would wish you did today?
What belief about yourself are you ready to let go?
What belief about yourself are you ready to let in?
Who do you admire and what is one small thing you can do to be in their energy today?
How do you want to get to know yourself better?

How To Intentionally Live For Today As If You Were To Die Tomorrow with Eric Winters, Director at Leaders For Life

Tue, 03 Jan 2023 11:00:00 -0700

What if you knew when you were going to die? Would you change the way you live? Would you make different choices that reflect the fact that you now KNOW your time is limited?

Author & Leadership Coach Eric Winters shares with us the hard, cold fact that our time is indeed, limited...whether we'd like to acknowledge that or not...it is, in actuality, the fact. Eric prompts us to acknowledge this truth so that we can start to embrace life today rather than waiting for that moment when our time is cut short with a death sentence or we wake up due to a traumatic experience. You have the power to make this decision NOW and live your most fulfilled life by getting clear on the reality that every single minute of life is a gift and worth our attention and gratitude.

How To Hear Your Heart's Message & Answer The Call with Eva Bautista-Fung of CosmicPop - INTUITIVE CREATORS SERIES

Tue, 06 Dec 2022 11:00:00 -0700

What does it mean to be happy? I really started to explore this question on the podcast within the last couple of years through my guest’s stories and one of the first one’s I released that openly shared her journey in making this realization that something was missing was Eva Bautista-Fung. Even though her life looked picture perfect and she was achieving the things she had set out to achieve, she was realizing there was something more she needed. The discovery she made was linked to connecting with herself and her own spirituality. As I continued to talk with more guests about this, I discovered again and again that this relationship, the one you develop with yourself and the realization of a spirituality that is defined by that relationship with self, is at the crux of everyone’s story of transformation. The same is true for me and I learned it was true for so, so many of the beautiful guests that came on the show over these past 2 years who bravely and openly shared their paths that led them to the shifts that transformed their lives. I hope you enjoy listening to Eva Bautista-Fung’s story:

How do you know when it's time to listen? My guest on today's episode shares with me the many times her heart was asking her to make a different decision but refused...allowing the ego to win out. But the voice inside her kept calling until she finally answered. Listen in as Eva Bautista-Fung, founder and creator of CosmicPop, Mind-Body-Soul crystal and jewelry shop, with an added service that offers reiki healing, shares her journey and transformation into a more aligned and authentic life that has self-care at it's core.

The Money Mindset That will Shift Your Abundance w/ Dr. Amanda Barrientez - INTUITIVE CREATORS SERIES

Tue, 29 Nov 2022 11:00:00 -0700

We are talking about money! What we focus on a lot in this one is our RELATIONSHIP with money. It’s different for everyone and if you exist…then you have a relationship with money but you may not know much about your relationship and how you really feel about these things and why but once you begin to ask questions about your money relationship then you can begin the process of letting go of these blocks that you probably aren’t even aware are working against you in the background.

If you’re not sure where to begin your journey after listening to this episode, then the program I created for you called The Gratitude Bundle is the easiest way to start to tap into the ENERGY and PRACTICE of bringing in more and connecting with your inner knowing. By just experiencing the course, you’ll learn a set of tools you can keep working with to create shifts in your life. And of course it is 70% off right now for the holiday season. There’s a link in the show notes (below) to join and I’ll be there, in the course group waiting to answer any questions for you that might come up along your journey with the course. Enjoy my money conversation with Amanda Barrientez!

The Magic Of Being Curious & Asking Questions With Jill Badonsky, Founder of Kaizen-Muse Creativity Coaching Trainings- INTUITIVE CREATORS SERIES

Tue, 15 Nov 2022 11:00:00 -0700

One of the most intuitive practices you can engage with is Creativity. So I am resharing the conversation I had with the creator of the Kaizen-Muse Creativity Coaching teachings (which is what I am certified in) Jill Badonsky. She is the master at finding easy, simple ways of getting out of our own way to begin to engage with our creativity. Our ability to create is massively powerful and it comes from that same easy place where we KNOW how to play with our imaginations as children and this knowing is connected to our intuition. When we tap back into this connection that we already know how to do, we can create magic.

The Imposter Within & Working Along Side It With Greg Locklear, TV Writer- INTUITIVE CREATORS SERIES

Tue, 08 Nov 2022 11:00:00 -0700

This collection of episodes I’m re-sharing with you is part of the Intuitive Creators™ series, in which we are highlighting tools and mindset that will help you get to your next version of your desired self. As well as obstacles you may experience.

Like. in this episode, which features my good friend and TV Writer Greg Locklear on the subject of Imposter Syndrome. This topic is interesting because it’s a good example of the on-goingness of a growth journey, meaning Imposter Syndrome can happen at any time of the journey but I think it especially happens during times we are stretching ourselves, challenging ourselves to step INTO that new version of ourselves. So much like how fear works, it’s something that can be lessoned in its intensity and it can be there and not get in the way of your next steps. So that is actually the goal. Not to get rid of it but to find and apply tools to continuously work with it.

I brought my lapel mics and field recording device to visit Greg in his new Hollywood home so we could talk casually and comfortably which we very much did.

We relate over old café conversations about how we would build our dreams, the difficulties of living in Los Angeles, our shared lives in the hospitality industry and of course more specifically Imposter Syndrome.

Gregory's background includes:

Producer of an award winning indie documentary called Corman’s World: Exploits of A Hollywood Rebel
Script coordinator on TV Series like I Love Dick, Transparent, Happy!, and Project Blue Book.
Director’s Assistant on Marco Polo.
Script Coordinator on the Netflix series On Fate: the winx Saga Season 1
And now staff writer of Season 2 of Fate: the Winx Saga.

How You Can Live The Dream Life You’re Meant To Live With Kara Bitar, Optimization Coach -INTUITIVE CREATORS SERIES

Tue, 01 Nov 2022 10:00:00 -0700

We are kicking off our Intuitive Creators™ series, in which we are revisiting a few episodes that highlight tools and mindset that will help you get to your next version of your desired self.

If there is one thing I want for you, it's to connect to your highest self & purpose! So over the next coming weeks, within this series I will begin to reveal to you some of the major components that you'll need to consciously & intuitively connect with in order to raise your vibration, clarify & define your own heart-felt message and build towards abundance and fulfillment within your life and business (or soon-to-be business!)

We're kicking this off today with Kara Bitar, Optimization Coach. In this episode, she shares her own journey & transformation that was Intuitively guided, leading her to create a life she previously only dreamt was possible. You’ve probably heard me say this many times, but I do believe the first step is awareness and Kara’s story really starts there. Her journey really taps into that realization that something was off, something was not working. So as you listen to this episode today or re-listen, I ask you to allow space to notice what your intuitive voice might want to share with you at this time. Enjoy.

Presenting: Discover Your Wellness Strategy on Hack My Business Podcast Episode 114

Tue, 25 Oct 2022 10:00:00 -0700

Do YOU have a wellness strategy? It is the last week of October which happens to be Emotional Wellness month and I did a cool episode with the Hack My Business podcast where the host Jesse Torres, and another guest Beth Bloom and I discussed our definitions and processes for wellness, particularly in relationship to being entrepreneurs but this is still very applicable to you if you are looking to create a relationship with your wellness on a daily basis that has to work with other elements in your life. I avoid using the word balance here and you’ll learn why in this episode. So I hope you enjoy this featured episode of Hack My Business called Discover Your Wellness Strategy.

From Hack My Business:

Today I’m joined by two amazing guests, the first is the founder of Avant Haüs Media, master behind the scenes, and Producer of Hack My Business, Christina Barsi. Along with us is Beth Bloom, the Editorial Director of Small Business Front, a corporation I started earlier last year to help entrepreneurs navigate the world of small business. Something that matters to EVERY business is wellness. What does wellness even mean? Is there anything to help manage work-life balance? How can we maintain our careers and businesses while still having energy for ourselves? Join us to discover these answers, and more. Plus, learn what YOU can do to keep your wellness in check each and every day as it ebbs and flows.

How Spiritual & Creative Connection Can Open New Channels With Joy Shannon, Singer-Songwriter Episode 113

Tue, 18 Oct 2022 10:00:00 -0700

Are there people in your life that seem to always bring new light and connection just when you need it? Joy Shannon has been that for me through-out my life since we met twenty years ago as performing artists in an intensive arts program. Her journey has been an inspiration to me again and again, helping me heal and understand parts of myself just by spending time with her and knowing her energy.

This episode was recorded in-person on her birthday and during a full moon. All of which came together very last minute but makes perfect sense that it did. We talk about the deep connection Spirituality and Creativity have with one another and Joy shares her story in how she was awakened to connecting with her past life history.

The Key To Purpose Is Living Joyfully: Guided Meditation - ABUNDANCE SERIES Episode 112

Tue, 11 Oct 2022 10:00:00 -0700

Do you invite "Joy" into your life daily? Last week we featured a guided meditation that was inspired by a book called Creating Money but before I read that book there was another book by Sanaya Roman and her spirit guide Orin that came into my life first and was very shifting for me. It was the first one I found within this series and it was during the time I was working on my Creativity Coaching certification that it found me.

The book is called Living With Joy and the title alone was interesting to me because it doesn’t say “finding joy” or something similar, it’s about “living with joy”. It was my very first introduction to beginning to understand that I get to live from a place of authentic purpose and that I have the answers to this equation called "happiness".

Listen as I read a little to you today from the chapter “You Can Live Joyfully” in the style of a guided relaxation.

Transforming Your Beliefs To Bring In Money: Guided Meditation- ABUNDANCE SERIES Episode 111

Tue, 04 Oct 2022 10:00:00 -0700

"Your beliefs create your reality". This quote & this episode is inspired by a book that was and still is an integral part of my own Abundance journey. It’s called Creating Money - Attracting Abundance by Sanaya Roman and Duane Packer. The interesting thing about this book is that the two authors I just mentioned wrote this book by channeling their spirit guides by the names of Orin and DaBen.

Practicing Consistency Through Creativity One Step At A Time With Albert Flynn DeSilver, Poet Laureate & Author Episode 102

Tue, 02 Aug 2022 10:00:00 -0700

Do you struggle with consistency? Or maybe your mind wanders into the abyss that takes you far away from the moment and into the consuming future...you're not alone! Being present and showing up is a battle for most of us. But having a creative practice and a single step you can take in the moment, as simple as it sounds, can change everything.

My guest today, Albert Flynn DeSilver says “we are all creative geniuses and inherently creative & wise. Being creative is as essential as air and water”.

Albert is an award-winning internationally published writer, speaker, and workshop leader known for merging the art of creative writing with the evolutionary practice of mindfulness meditation. Albert is the author of the memoir “Beamish Boy: A Memoir of Recovery & Awakening” and also served as Marin County California’s very first Poet Laureate from 2008-2010.

Your Spiritual Connection Is NORMAL With Lindsay Reiling, Spirituality Coach Episode 101

Tue, 26 Jul 2022 10:00:00 -0700

Do you feel like talking about your spirituality is a little woo woo or maybe just uncomfortable? A connection with something more is possible for everyone and anyone and it can start by simply listening to your intuition. This "spiritualness" is already a part of you because it IS you.

My guest today calls herself "Lindsay The Grateful”, and says her mission is to normalize spirituality. She believes that “Through connecting with spirit we can heal our wounds, traumas, losses and live a healthful life in all aspects. Connecting to spirit connects us to something more and with that comes a calming inner peace, confidence and reassurance that we are more than our physical bodies."

Small Steps, Intuition, Self-Kindness, Gratitude & Creativity- CELEBRATING OVER 100 EPISODES! Episode 100

Tue, 19 Jul 2022 10:00:00 -0700

Today we are celebrating over 100 episodes! Technically this is the 189th episode that we’re creating for Be Bold Begin but because we’ve done so many bonuses this one will be numbered as number 100. So with that said, I’ve been reflecting on not only my journey with this podcast but my growth journey as a whole since I began the show back in March of 2018.

For this special episode I put together a short compilation that spans the journey (and I’m sure you can hear the difference in my voice from the early episodes compared to the ones that come later) but I wanted to choose ones that emphasized our main pillars that I believe are at the core of transformation: Small Steps, Intuition, Self-Kindness, Gratitude and Creativity. I hope you enjoy this fun 100th episode of Be Bold Begin.

**In Loving Memory Of Mystique whose little spirit crossed over on this day**

How To Believe In Your Magic With Jade Whaley, Creator of Soulful Intuition Academy Episode 97

Tue, 28 Jun 2022 10:00:00 -0700

“Magic comes from what is inside you. It is a part of you. You can't weave together a spell that you don't believe in.” -Jim Butcher

I’m going to invite you to consider where the magic might be in your lives. Many of us have experiences that offer the question of transformation. But with transformation comes many more questions. Like can I do it, is it possible, what is the path, is it in me and do I have the power? Ultimately, do I BELIEVE?

Do I believe what I cannot see.

But whether we believe in the truth of those internal messages and that our new choices will be supported…the part we cannot see…is where I believe the unlocked magic lies. The magic of possibilities.

My guest today is Jade Whaley, a spiritual coach, psychic channel and educator based in New Zealand. Her personal and spiritual journey is sprinkled with tribulation, transformation and…lots of magic. Jade helps people reclaim their power and passion and trust their intuition through her services, workshops, courses, and online community. Mid 2022 she plans to launch her Soulful Intuition Academy, where she’ll offer online courses, workshops and circles.

Tue, 14 Jun 2022 10:00:00 -0700

What does it mean to be our whole selves? Why do we keep parts of ourselves separate and compartmentalized? What parts of ourselves do we bring with us when we show up in different communities and in different roles? And what would it feel like to be “whole” and unapologetic when it comes to who we really are…as our authentic selves?

My guest today is Shana Bianchi of Mindful Divine and we talk about this idea of incorporating our whole selves into all parts of our lives. Shana also shares what it took for her to MINDFULLY shift into this way of life and thinking.

The Stream: Channeling The Answers To The Universe With David Strickel Of The TYA Practice Episode 93

Tue, 31 May 2022 10:00:00 -0700

What if you could ask the "Universe" any question you desired and get a clear answer? Well...that is exactly what I do in this very special episode of Be Bold Begin. Last week's guest David Strickel returns to channel what he calls The Stream, an energy or being that encompasses "all". I have a candid and surprisingly natural conversation with The Stream about the purpose of life, the rules of our human existence and our soul's reason for attracting our specific experiences. I'll give you a hint...it has to do with expansion and evolution. You may want to listen to this one twice. More From David Strickel:

YOU Get To Design The Journey You Are On With David Strickel of The TYA Practice Episode 92

Tue, 24 May 2022 10:30:00 -0700

What if you could rewrite your past to the point of changing the way you experience your present? My guest, David Strickel says "The universe is not judgmental and it is not sending us things to teach us lessons...we are attracting it". As we reflect on things like our past, particularly painful parts, we may still be experiencing it as painful and difficult. But with that reflection comes a choice.

You can also choose to see the gifts in the experience, in which gratitude and forgiveness might follow...and suddenly you're freer in THIS moment from the weight of what this experience represented to you before.

This is just SOME of what we touch on in this episode as David shares with us his personal journey, how he unlocked the law of attraction at a very young age and how he began channeling what he now calls The Stream. (Next week, we have David come back on the show to channel The Stream LIVE for us, so be sure to tune in next week as well!)

Why Creativity Is Your KEY To Unlocking A Life of Connection & Presence With Jill Badonsky, Creator of Kaizen-Muse Creativity Coaching Trainings Episode 85

Tue, 05 Apr 2022 10:00:00 -0700

What if you could enhance your focus, resiliency, resourcefulness AND do it by having fun?

That is the power of your creativity. We are all creative, despite having a creative or artistic calling. One of our wonderful human qualities that we are born with is creativity. What we often overlook when it comes to this playful part of us is it's usefulness.

We talk with a very special return guest, Jill Badonsky, creator of the Kaizen-Muse Creativity Coaching Trainings (which is what I am certified in) about the many benefits that doing creative things can bring into our lives. What Jill calls "fringe benefits" are the skills and experiences that happen as a bonus to what we get from a creative process in addition to the art or project. Jill also created a business, wrote many books, is a speaker and curates events and retreats so we also talk about the entrepreneurial side of how to do all of this in a way that is authentic and aligned with our core and spirit to turn work into play.

Let Go Of Losing Weight To Instead Create What Brings You Joy with Camille Martin, Author of Love To Lose Episode 73

Tue, 11 Jan 2022 11:30:00 -0700

The holiday season is over and the New Year has begun! You're filled with inspired thoughts of the better "you" you'll become and first thing on the list is to LOSE that holiday weight...well, I'm not unlike you. And my guest today, Camille Martin, registered dietitian, public health writer, author of “Love To Lose: Love Your Life & Watch The Weight Lose Itself” and facilitator of change for women speaks to us about how to focus this energy from a productive place of joy rather than the negative, self-deprecating place the culture of dieting often comes from.

Her inside-out approach completely focuses on shifting our mindsets from these lower vibrations of comparison and appearance to choosing more for ourselves in the way of big goals that leverage our gifts and purpose. She shares that by doing this, we naturally begin to make new choices and change our habits that support the desired weight loss. Keep that New Year's resolution with Camille's realistic and long-lasting approach and next year...you'll be open to making a NEW resolution that has nothing to do with how you look!

Tue, 14 Dec 2021 11:30:00 -0700

Getting started is most often the HARDEST part. So what if I told you it didn’t have to be hard? What if I told you I had an simple strategy to reframe that difficult start into something that feels not only MUCH easier but also empowering and joyful. But you have to buy in and you have to treat it like a process and a practice. The beauty is once you have this simple tool, you can apply it to ANYTHING! And it is hands down, my favorite.

And for those of you thinking of starting a podcast, this episode was originally recorded when I was JUST starting this show and I wanted to demonstrate what starting simple could look like...SPOILER ALERT! I recorded this episode on my iphone back in 2018.

BEGIN SERIES Announced + Happy Holidays!

Thu, 02 Dec 2021 11:30:00 -0700

We have curated a special bonus season for you that will release weekly during our usual Tuesday release that is a bit of a throwback from Season One.

Because if you’re like me then you might be spending this time exploring what you’d like to create next and finding inspiration.

So we have a BEGIN SERIES that focuses on all the things you need to get started. How to create small steps, how to get out of your own way and make starting easy, an exercise to discover your core values, how to connect to your intuition to make creative decisions well, how to make it all fun and acknowledge your process along the way and so much more! And you may notice that when this series was recorded back during Season One, I was just beginning. So the sound quality is a little different and even my voice sounds different than it does now when I speak. This is a bonus meta glimpse into my growth process from then to now as well.

We hope you enjoy this fun BEGIN SERIES taken from the Be Bold Begin Vault and use it to fuel your next project. Especially if it’s creating a podcast!

Everyone at Be Bold Begin and my team at Avant Haüs Media wish you an amazing holiday season filled with gratitude, creativity and kindness.

If you NEED to carve out more time to get to your next project AND have the bonus of self-care baked in then you can download my free guide 3 Shifting Self-Care Strategies That Will Actually Create MORE Time In Your Day! or go to mortime.avanthausmedia.com

And if you're podcast-curious and ready to learn more, I'd be honored to have you join me in our NEW private Facebook Group Unleash Your Podcast Niche.

SMALL SHIFTS: What Would It Feel Like To Honor This?

Thu, 25 Nov 2021 11:30:00 -0700

Today's Question: What Would It Feel Like To Honor This?

Each week we’ll ask a question of our subconscious mind by saying it consciously…with some context.

What would it feel like to just ask yourself for the changes you’d like to see? To start to think differently about things in your life you would like to change simply by asking yourself…a small question.

How it works: you ask a question that does not need to be answered in the moment.

Why it works: your brain does not know how to deny a question. It is designed to answer it. But by asking it in this way…it’s your subconscious mind that does the work for you. Ask and then just let it go. Your subconscious brain will do the work for you.

Harness Your Body's Healing Powers Using the PABR Technique with Dr. Amy Novotny, Founder of PABR Institute Episode 70

Tue, 16 Nov 2021 11:30:00 -0700

Your body has deep knowledge and intelligence that is often forgotten as we get older but can be harnessed again with a little help. My guest Dr. Amy Novotny made a profound discovery along her own journey through a breathing technique, which she then began to explore further with her Physical Therapy patients. From there she went on to develop the technique she calls PABR or PAIN-AWARENESS-BREATHING-RELEIF and start her own practice that would go on to transform and heal many without the use of any medications.

Dr. Novotny's long journey to normalize and validate her technique to bring relief and healing to more people is one of perseverance and dedication. Listen in as she honestly shares her story and her technique that harnesses the body's own potential to bring relief.

How You Can Live The Dream Life You're Meant To Live with Kara Bitar, Optimization Coach Episode 69

Tue, 09 Nov 2021 11:30:00 -0700

“Your natural state is one of abundance, success, creative fulfillment, excitement, energy and joy. You have unique gifts. When you use those gifts, you live a life of abundance and joy. When you don’t, you live a life of hard work and struggle.”

This is a quote from my guest Kara Bitar, Optimization Coach. Her story is a journey of searching for deep truth and inner happiness that can only be found by looking within. Kara left everything she strived for in her life behind in order to embark on this search and you will be surprised by how it all unfolded. The key was finding a methodology that would awaken and enliven that search through a process of healing and what she found at the end was her true worth and so much clarity. She now helps others on their own journeys towards their natural states of being with her self-created system for living an optimal life.

Heal Your Relationship with Money, Heal Your Life with Virginia Baker-Woolf, Mindful Money Coach Episode 68

Tue, 02 Nov 2021 10:30:00 -0700

The fact that we don't talk about money openly amounts to more than just, perhaps an undesirable subject. It is complicated. But the reason it's complicated might surprise you. When we keep the subject of money taboo, we in turn keeping it as a tool of suppression and dominance over under-served communities. In this episode, my guest Virginia Baker-Woolf, a Mindful Money Coach, focuses her teachings towards women but I encourage anyone to listen with open ears in order to hear her message from a place of the connection you have with the women in your life and as a conscious world-citizen.

That said, the process of healing our relationships with money starts with ourselves. Virginia shares with us how this entry point of healing our relationship with money can have huge impact on all parts of our lives as a result. It can be hugely transformational, which opens up the potential to then impact our communities thereafter.

Why Who You Are At The CORE Is Your Most Powerful Branding Tool with Suzanne Tulien, Brand Clarity Expert Episode 67

Tue, 26 Oct 2021 10:30:00 -0700

Do you KNOW what your core values are? And if you DO, do you know how you’re using them and applying them to your life and if you have a business or are even THINKING about having a business...do you know how to apply them there?

Today I do have a special guest with us who is an expert in personal branding, Suzanne Tulien. She shares with us how she uses core values in her process and so much more like how to create alignment and gain clarity around building a brand or just how to create alignment with our actions and how we show up in our lives and projects.

Tue, 28 Sep 2021 10:30:00 -0700

In an industry like entertainment, an artist can easily find themselves feeling like they aren't in control of their own experience. That goes for business, art and even identity. So how can one stay grounded and not buy into the outcome-driven needs of Hollywood?

My guest today is Mike Rauch, former Cartoon Network exec and co-founder of Rauch Brothers Animation and he shares his journey from the first moments he felt that spark for animating as well as for business to how he decided to not worry too much about how everyone else was doing it. Instead he focused his energies connecting to his "why" and what he believed in so he could bring work into this world that would represent voices he felt were missing from view.

How A Female-Lead Ad Agency Made More Space For Women's Voices with Allyson Marino, Founder of Lipstick & Vinyl Episode 57

Tue, 20 Jul 2021 10:00:00 -0700

My guest today has been on this podcasting Industry journey with me practically since the beginning of my career as an entrepreneur but she shares with us just how invested she was in what podcasters have to say and helping them keep it all going through ad sales and creating monetization opportunities for them long before she ever started her company Lipstick and Vinyl. A female-forward podcast ad agency whose motto reads “We live to give voice to the underrepresented. We see a future of media that is a true reflection of people who live in our society. Through podcasting we amplify new voices. People like people who sound like them.”

The authentic telling of her journey is riddled with lessons and takeaways if you’re interested in starting anything, are ready to be bold and take the leap or if you just want to know what it’s like to be a woman in the sales industry, how to venture out on your own and what it’s like to be a part of a new media.

Plus this episode is releasing the same date that I met Allyson in 2018 exactly three years ago. Happy Pod-iversary to us and cheers to our intuitive journeys (because this release date was not planned!)

Tue, 13 Jul 2021 10:00:00 -0700

If you’re considering podcasting but the tech and the equipment part feels a bit overwhelming and it’s getting in the way of your start, then my guest, Scott Slaughter, the co-host and a producer on the podcast The Only One In The Room shares how he conquered the technical that came with building his own studio quality at-home recording space last year when all went remote as well as his whole story around the hurdles and growth he had along the way.

His decision to walk through those fears only to find more creative freedom and empowerment on the other side is what today’s episode is all about and quite frankly, it’s also what is at the core of what podcasting is all about. And it’s the reason the show stayed alive AND exponentially grew its listenership.

How to Start & Grow Your Podcast From Idea To Thousands of Listeners with Laura Cathcart Robbins, Host of The Only One In The Room Episode 55

Tue, 06 Jul 2021 19:40:01 -0700

My guest wanted to write her own story on a bigger scale and share it by way of a memoir. But then reality struck and she was given the advice to find a way to become even more visible before that bigger step of writing a book.

The decision she made to hold space for OTHERS stories by leveraging an experience she had in order to share the creative space and collaboration was how her podcast The Only One in The Room was born and is also where our stories intersect. This journey may help YOU make a decision for yourself about something that could grow to warm the hearts of thousands of people just like it did for my guest, Laura Cathcart Robbins, the host of the popular podcast The Only One In the Room.

How To Create Confidently In the Audio Drama Podcast Genre with Christina Barsi Episode 54

Tue, 29 Jun 2021 10:00:00 -0700

I don’t know if you know this but I got my start in podcasting with radio drama. It was a story I voiced myself alongside a cast of other characters and amazing actors that brought them to life but more so, it was a story I wrote myself. The funny thing is, the experience I gained from this two year long audio drama podcast run may not be what you think.

BE BOLD REMINDER: Guided Meditation- You Are A Powerful Being

Tue, 20 Apr 2021 10:00:00 -0700

Today I want to remind you that you are enough and you have immense power inside you. And when we pause and invite the stillness we also quietly invite the parts of ourselves to collaborate in unison and in peace. Let's revisit this guided meditation together and it's message.

Join Me.

We often don't have time or feel comfortable just "being'. It has loads of connotations attached to it like being "lazy" or not being productive and therefore not being of worth or value.

But the truth is we find ourselves in those spaces and crevasses when we sit still and just "be". It often helps when someone else can gently hold that space for you, like this guided meditation.

Use it as a tool to find a few minutes of quiet and stillness...and maybe a little more peace than usual.

BE BOLD REMINDER: How To Unearth Your Superpowers with Awareness

Tue, 13 Apr 2021 07:00:00 -0700

Here is one of my favorite episodes that I’d like to feature again as a reminder to be kind to the most important person in your life…YOU!

The way we talk to ourselves can determine how we feel about a lot of things. First and foremost, it reveals what we really think about ourselves.

The first time it was introduced to me to take notice of the self-talk that ran through my mind non-stop was a suggestion that was super revealing. Not only did it feel weird to begin doing it at first but the words that were on repeat in my mind and then also often out loud was ...shockingly negative.

We all have things that come easy to us that are difficult for others. And often those are the things we value the least. BECAUSE they’re easy. We don’t think about how we do them, it just happens, it just comes out of us, almost like magic.....but see, that is what magic is. The stuff that feels amazing while we also get to grow and elevate our lives with it and the lives of others.

Those are our super-powers!!! We just need to believe in them as much as others do. But that’s not always easy, it’s hard to even notice them sometimes. So that is where the awareness becomes a really key part of this process.

Enjoy this fun exercise to "Unearth Your Superpowers" & share your new superhero name and powers by DM'ing me!!

Women's Empowerment: Presenting "The Only One In The Room": Christina Barsi Talks with Keah Brown

Tue, 30 Mar 2021 10:00:00 -0700

"Imagine if you were born with a disability. A disability that despite many painful surgeries, still left your right side shorter than your left and your right hand unable to make a fist. Can you picture what school or a simple trip to the mall would be like, needing to stop and rest more that anyone else your age?

Keah Brown, 28 year-old best-selling author, advocate and public speaker, was born with cerebral palsy in Western, New York State. And although Keah’s mother did her best to shield her daughter from the petty cruelties of her peers, eventually one of Keah’s classmates made fun of her at school, bringing a spotlight to her differences. An act which changed the way she saw herself forever."

That excerpt was written and originally read by Laura Cathcart-Robbins and is taken from the introduction to one of my favorite episodes of a podcast that Laura hosts called THE ONLY ONE IN THE ROOM, which I had a hand in helping create and continue to serve as the executive producer. The full episode is number 26 and is called “Keah Brown Is The Only "Pretty One" Speaking Out Against Ableism”.

The reason I’m sharing this with you is because I had the privilege to have a deep and candid talk with Keah Brown and the incite and depth that Keah shares is so beautiful and her focus of listening to each other to create change is powerful in its simplicity. She helps us understand that the most powerful thing you can do for yourself and for the world, is to believe in yourself and spend time becoming aware of your abilities. It then becomes that much easier to see those things in each other.

Overcoming Overwhelm Mindfully with this Guided Meditation

Tue, 16 Mar 2021 10:00:00 -0700

Yesterday marks the one-year anniversary of Covid-19 officially hitting the U.S and the first shut-downs taking place. So in honor of this strange experience that we all embarked on together across the globe, I have a guided meditation for Overwhelm.

About this episode:

The inclination can often be to get to work and get things done when often we need to stop for a second and shift that energy of overwhelm by addressing it and doing some self-care.

Meditation is a great tool to not only relax and get grounded but to re-focus, be intentional and open up to connecting with ourself and our intuition.

International Women's Day Release: Julia Fried of The Mindful Panda: How to Work With Fear Through Mindfulness & Meditation

Tue, 09 Mar 2021 11:00:00 -0700

I wanted to re-share this special episode in honor of International Women’s Day, which was yesterday. I chose this episode to honor 2 amazing women in my life. One is the special woman who is featured in this episode Julia Fried. She is one of the most compassionate and resilient women I know.

This episode is also dedicated to my mom, who just so happened to meet Julia before she left for Germany. My mom is someone who I’ve always been able to share this type of conversation with, who has an insatiable curiosity for nature and all things human and who is one of the strongest, smartest, wisest, most compassionate, empathetic & kindest women I know. As you listen to this episode, I implore you to think of a woman in your life that you would like to honor and maybe even share this episode with her.

About this episode:

In this episode I’m talking with the amazing Julia Fried who is a mindfulness & meditation teacher as well as a hypnotherapist and a new mom. She has some great tools and tips for us we can apply to our day-to-day to help us through this time.

According to the Oxford Dictionary :

“Mindfulness is the quality or state of being consciously aware of something. A mental state achieved by focusing ones awareness on the present moment while calmly acknowledging and accepting ones feelings, thoughts and bodily sensations used as a therapeutic technique”.

How to begin a mindfulness practice as discussed in this episode:

Practice presence for only a few minutes at a time
Scan the body from head-to-toe by noticing how each body part feels and then relaxing it.

How to work with Fear:

Notice where the fear might be happening in your body. Where do you physically feel it?
Make more observations about the fear as if it had characteristics. What kind of characteristics does it have? (i.e what color is it, does it speak a language, what does it want to tell me, is it being tricky or unreasonable, what shape is it)
Then imagine this “fear” outside of your body so you can see it and give yourself permission to change these characteristics to things you’d like. (i.e if the fear is red maybe it is now yellow, if it has sharp edges and is big, maybe it becomes soft and very small)
Then put it back in your body to see how it feels after you changed it. To realize you have the power to control it.

How to Make Comparison Work For You If You're A Beginner or An Expert

Tue, 02 Mar 2021 11:00:00 -0700

We are all beginners in aspects of our expertise. There is usually something more for us to learn and if that is true then that means there are people out there doing what we do well and may have some knowledge that we are still acquiring.

This can lead to feelings of comparison and the truth is that that is an unfair way to be in the process. It’s unfair to you. Listen in for tips on how to combat the comparison at any stage you're in.

BEGIN PODCASTING: Permission to F*ck It Up Episode 50

Tue, 16 Feb 2021 11:00:00 -0700

You are going to make mistakes. You are going to do things that feel less than perfect. You are also going to get better (if you stick with it).

There are so many things that are waiting for you to discover along your journey or see growth in or pivot with and I can confidently tell you that I know FOR SURE that none of that will be possibly until you BEGIN. You must give yourself permission to actually start to put action to your ideas and to your preparation steps. And for me that usually means giving myself permission to completely and utterly fuck it up.

Launch The Creative Business You've Always Wanted By Starting A Podcast Episode 45

Tue, 12 Jan 2021 08:16:00 -0700

What I’ve created for you is a special Season 4 mini-series all about how to BEGIN PODCASTING. But here’s what makes this crazy different than ANY OTHER podcasting step-by-step or guide that is currently out there…I’m going to teach you how to launch a podcast as a tool to leverage in building your business, brand, or endeavor you want to start building. Because I noticed something.

As I was working with clients and building my own business at the same time, I started to realize that the foundational work required in starting a new brand, business or endeavor was the SAME as what is required to get clear to start a podcast. Much of the mindset and foundational work is THE SAME. It’s deep and it requires your vulnerability, honesty, passion and dedication, organization and the ability to SHOW UP consistently no matter what.

So stick around for the next 5 weeks because I'll be sharing with you:

How To Create Your Idea with Purpose & Intention
I’ll share with you the AHM Foundation Formula to ensure your project is in alignment with your joy, your purpose and your goals
How To Systemize to Show Up & Simplify
How To Kill the Expectations and Create the Goals
And last but not least: Permission To F It Up

EMBRACING 2021 RE-RELEASE: Guided Meditation: Knowing Your True What & Why As You Become Inspired To Inspire

Thu, 07 Jan 2021 08:00:00 -0700

I wanted to give you one more bonus before we jump into our brand new episodes that will launch next week on January 12th!

It is a Guided Meditation and it’s actually the first one I released on Be Bold Begin.

And I am putting the question to you: What do you want and what do you want to give.

Finding intuitive answers to questions like these can be accessed easier when we are being guided in a focused meditation, it gives our minds permission to let go, to be guided and to flow and at the same time our bodies can relax into it too, so the discovery becomes a whole body experience and it can be easier to connect to ourselves this way.

So try and find room to just allow the process to be whatever it will be and enjoy!

RELEASING 2020 RE-RELEASE: KylEast Singer, Songwriter: An Artist’s Journey With An Eating Disorder

Tue, 22 Dec 2020 08:00:00 -0700

This year has been a doozy! Thank you for your listens and embarking on your own creative journey along with us. We sincerely hope we are creating space and permission with these conversations and providing tools and tips for your own life and process.

This episode's re-release is in honor of all of you who may be struggling with an addiction or have someone in your life that is or might be. Even if you don't listen, there are resources in these show notes you can utilize.

The holiday's can make this struggle an even harder one. This our reminder to you that YOU ARE NOT ALONE.

This RE-RELEASE features KylEast, a powerful singer songwriter. Stay tuned to the end of this episode to be able to listen to her single CHAINS in it’s entirety.

A recent review of the song by All Ashore explains the theme really well:

“[KylEast] tackles body dysmorphia and anorexia in another industrial, synth-laden gut punch. Her words begin as hushed lamentations before leaping into a full rage against the commodification of self, spitting such condemnations as “Here she is / Your worthless wonder,” with as much contempt as empathy. It lays bare the horrors of feeling ashamed of your own body while still attempting to talk yourself out of a hole. Her delivery is drenched with conviction and the drive of someone who has personal experience with the words they sing. If KylEast aimed for a body image anthem, she has absolutely succeeded.”

Releasing 2020 With Joy Shannon: How Healing & Creativity Intersect Episode 44

Tue, 15 Dec 2020 08:00:00 -0700

The amazing Joy Shannon is our guest on today’s show and we talk about her life long journey with creativity and healing and how the two intersect.

When we let go, we make room for more magic and opportunity to come into our lives and the journey Joy Shannon shares has wonderful examples of these life moments.

3 Steps to Discovering Your Message & Purpose Episode 43

Tue, 08 Dec 2020 08:00:00 -0700

I want to talk about your voice and your message. Many of you are creative people and some of you are building platforms for yourselves and some of you are on a self love and healing journey. Some of you are all of those things. And knowing and understanding your purpose and/or mission can serve all of these endeavors. It helps you create a more intentional life down to your day to day habits. It can influence how you create boundaries, how you show up for people, how you show up for yourself and how you make decisions, it really can be the source of all the things you choose in your life. But how do you start to become aware of your purpose or message in life? It can feel daunting when asked that question, like “what is your purpose in life”. But of course we’re going to start small. Tune in for three easy steps to discover YOUR purpose and mission. *share with me what your personal purpose and mission statements are in the Apple Podcasts review section and I will share them in next week's episode! *I'm looking to be inspired by YOU this week, share with me an episode idea and I will create it, as my personal gift to you during what I like to call (drum roll...)

Shana Bianchi of Mindful Divine: Mindfully Shifting Into A Life of Purpose & Intention Episode 42

Tue, 01 Dec 2020 08:00:00 -0700

My guest today is Shana Bianchi of Mindful Divine and we talk about lots of things but this idea of incorporating our whole selves into all parts of our lives is at the core of our conversation. Shana talks about what it took for her to “shift” into this way of life and thinking and I personally relate to her story quite a bit.

I am doing myself and my purpose a disservice whenever I don’t allow my whole self to participate. This conversation with Shana was a great reminder of that and I am challenging myself to show up even more in this way. And maybe it will incite you to do the same.

So get cozy and get ready to be inspired and learn how to lean into your whole self a little more.

The Power of Words Episode 41

Tue, 24 Nov 2020 08:00:00 -0700

Kind words are a creative force, a power that concurs in the building up of all that is good, and energy that showers blessings upon the world." —Lawrence G. Lovasik The power of words has changed my life many times but one of the most powerful ways in which I had to discover the way I used my OWN words was when I was asked to observe how I talk to myself. Many of us spend a lot of our energy talking negatively to ourselves and I was definitely not the exception. I had no idea how mean and unkind I was to myself. And not just to myself but also the self-talk permeated into areas of my life around the things that I did. Like one of my favorite reframes I refer to is the small question “what if it were easy?”

We could all use the occasional self-talk tune-up. In this episode we break down a way to begin and if you're familiar with how this process works, it's the perfect reminder to check in with ourselves again. Enjoy!

GUIDED MEDITATION: You Are A Powerful Being

Tue, 22 Sep 2020 07:00:00 -0700

We often don't have time or feel comfortable just "being'. It has loads of connotations attached to it like being "lazy" or not being productive and therefore not being of worth or value.

But the truth is we find ourselves in those spaces and crevasses when we sit still and just "be". It often helps when someone else can gently hold that space for you, like this guided meditation.

Use it as a tool to find a few minutes of quiet and stillness...and maybe a little more peace than usual.

Fun Foundations: Resources...? What Resources? Tip #3

Mon, 07 Sep 2020 07:00:00 -0700

Resources can be anything. They can be a person you know, a piece of equipment you need or can use, your available time...anything. Take a look around and see what you already have and allow it to influence your process. You may notice you have a lot already to facilitate what you need if you're a little creative with it.

It can also give you the parameters for your project. If you're limited on time then try and create a structure that facilitates that. If your resource is money, then pay someone to do the task that is holding you back from beginning.

When I'm alone with my thoughts beach side for example, it gives me space to have new and better ideas. It's GREAT for our creativity!

We introduce the idea of being in a place of curiosity with yourself. Start paying attention to the things that you say to yourself. What kind of self-talk do you engage in? How negative or positive are you with yourself?

Unearthing Your Superpowers: The Process Of Awareness Episode 33

Mon, 06 Jul 2020 07:00:00 -0700

The way we talk to ourselves can determine how we feel about a lot of things. First and foremost, it reveals what we really think about ourselves. The first time it was introduced to me to take notice of the self-talk that ran through my mind non-stop was a suggestion that was super revealing. Not only did it feel weird to begin doing it at first but the words that were on repeat in my mind and then also often out loud was ...shockingly negative. We all have things that come easy to us that are difficult for others. And often those are the things we value the least. BECAUSE they’re easy. We don’t think about how we do them, it just happens, it just comes out of us, almost like magic.....but see, that is what magic is. The stuff that feels amazing while we also get to grow and elevate our lives with it and the lives of others. Those are our super-powers!!! We just need to believe in them as much as others do. But that’s not always easy, it’s hard to even notice them sometimes. So that is where the awareness becomes a really key part of this process. Enjoy this fun exercise in "Unearthing Your Superpowers" & share your new superhero name and powers in our Be Bold Begin Facebook Group!

Using Our Fear Positively Episode 32

Mon, 29 Jun 2020 07:00:00 -0700

We all have fears. Its part of our brain-makeup and is there to keep us alive (<-insert gratitude here). But the nature of the world we live in now, generally speaking, is anxiety inducing and our fears can fall short of what feels like a trait to be grateful for and can act more as a hinderance. Frankly, we'd rather it just go away never to bother us again.

Well, fear is here to stay and that is actually okay. We can find ways to work with it, transform it into a positive process and sometimes the adversity it brings can even change our lives for the better.

***The Fear Exercise in this episode is deep and should be done with the lots of self-care and kindness. Please be gentle with yourself. Take inventory of how you feel and try to make space to acknowledge that those feelings (any and all of those feelings) are valid, normal and okay and you don't have to do anything about them. Allow them to be and to move through you with love. More support directly from myself & the Be Bold Begin community for these exercises is available in the Facebook Group, you're not alone!

Keeping Comparison At Bay Episode 27

Tue, 05 May 2020 07:00:00 -0700

"Comparison", meaning comparing ourselves to others, is coming up for a lot of us as we are faced with the onslaught and surge of (somehow) even MORE social media. With the extra time on many people’s hands during quarantine more of us are on social media flexing our cooking skills, our workout wins, our Tik Tok dance moves and the many celebrities going live constantly that it actually broke Intsagram (don’t quote me on that one). In addition to all the doom and gloom from the news, where are we to turn to feel normal?

If you’re feeling triggered right now by any of this or something else entirely we lay out some small steps you can take to raise awareness for yourself in order to create the right game plan to best support the part of the process YOU are in.

Here are some supporting episodes from Season 1:

How To Make Space For Other's Process Episode 26

Mon, 20 Apr 2020 08:00:00 -0700

We talk about our own process and how to lean into ourselves all the time here but how do we cope with this very unique situation where so much of the entire world is experiencing the same strain & stress and being faced with the fear and uncertainty that comes with it?

If someone in your life is disappointing you right now or you're having a hard time understanding each other's experience and process during this difficult time you can try adding a small practice to help you shift into compassion and out of stress and concern.

Small Questions: Small questions are designed for the subconscious and do not have to be answered, only asked. Sometimes an answer comes and sometimes a feeling comes or an epiphany and a shift and sometimes those things don’t arise until we’ve practiced the small question many times. Much like affirmations you can ask it daily or more than that or whenever the situation calls for it as a practice. Try feeling into the intention of it for just a few moments and then let it go and move on.

How To Feel Okay During A Shitty Time Episode 25

Mon, 13 Apr 2020 08:00:00 -0700

We explore how a process can help you not only feel more grounded and less overwhelmed but also how a process can literally help you mentally “process” a difficult time or situation. Below are some steps to begin to make space for and create a process.

Some general steps to try (more detail to these are discussed in the episode):

1.Allow space and permission to feel the feelings

2. Consider adding boundaries to your process

3.Next find small, easy ways to add structure to your day to day that come from your authentic self

4. Consider reframing things you dread into things that feel a little easier and invite gratitude in

5. What small activities do you do that remind you of you the most

Boundaries: Begin to pay attention to how you’re feeling when exposed to certain things or when you choose to take a mental break from things such as the news. You can create a process for this too based on observing and checking in with yourself and create some limitations and boundaries around how much energy you put toward these areas.

Guided Meditation: How To Find Calm During Overwhelm

Mon, 06 Apr 2020 08:00:00 -0700

I have a guided meditation for you that I created for those of us who are feeling a little overwhelmed or a lot overwhelmed right now. The inclination can often be to get to work and get things done when often we need to stop for a second and shift that energy of overwhelm by addressing it and doing some self-care.

There is a short 9 minute bonus episode in Season 1 called Heal your Overwhelm With Small Steps. Its number 18 and it’ll give you even more of a foundation in how overwhelm behaves and how to create small steps to work with it easily.

Meditation is a great tool to not only relax and get grounded but to re-focus, be intentional and open up to connecting with ourself and our intuition.

Julia Fried of The Mindful Panda: How to Work With Fear Through Mindfulness & Meditation Episode 23

Mon, 30 Mar 2020 08:00:00 -0700

Many of us are experiencing varying levels of fear and overwhelm during this time of uncertainty regarding the Corona Virus, which is of course normal feelings to have in a time like this. Fear can pop up when we don’t feel in control of a situation and in this case there are a lot of unknowns not only about the virus itself but how our lives will be affected, the lives of our loved ones, people we know, people we don’t know and just our day to day.

The other factor to acknowledge here is the rapid rate of change that is occurring. Each day seems that things are different than the last and lots of change also brings on lots of fear. How we make ourselves feel safe and grounded is being very challenged right now.

According to the Oxford Dictionary :

How to begin a mindfulness practice as discussed in this episode:

Practice presence for only a few minutes at a time
Scan the body from head-to-toe by noticing how each body part feels and then relaxing it.

How to work with Fear:

Notice where the fear might be happening in your body. Where do you physically feel it?
Make more observations about the fear as if it had characteristics. What kind of characteristics does it have? (i.e what color is it, does it speak a language, what does it want to tell me, is it being tricky or unreasonable, what shape is it)
Then imagine this “fear” outside of your body so you can see it and give yourself permission to change these characteristics to things you’d like. (i.e if the fear is red maybe it is now yellow, if it has sharp edges and is big, maybe it becomes soft and very small)
Then put it back in your body to see how it feels after you changed it. To realize you have the power to control it.

Quickly Moving Through A Painful Experience Episode 43

Mon, 06 Aug 2018 12:00:00 -0700

We've all experienced feelings of resentment, pain, guilt, rumination, and all the other low vibe stuff that comes from situations we feel should have occurred differently. The only person you're hurting when deciding to hold onto this stuff is you. Whether you want to admit it or not, it's a choice to keep those feelings around. However, those feelings are extremely valid, normal and completely okay for you to feel but I share a tip with how to limit your experience with the low-vibe stuff.

I'm also announcing that we are going on a little break and will be back with more tools for your creative tool belt in future fall episodes. For now, thank you from the bottom of my heart for joining us so far and I hope to find you listening in the next season.

How To Creatively Combat Criticism Episode 41

As creators and makers there is a stage at the beginning of the process when we are super excited about our new idea and creation. We want to share it. We want to talk about it and we want others to be excited with us. That can be tough sometimes when we are received with criticism. There are also many other scenarios where artists can get some judgement and push back for their unique or different way of thinking. As we discuss this possibility we offer a few different tools you can apply to these kinds of situations.

Creative Boundaries & Nurturing the Artist Episode 39

Tue, 24 Jul 2018 21:22:15 -0700

“Taking quality care of yourself can awaken your higher self”. - Jill Badonsky

Nurturing ourselves is another form of self-kindness and care. For creatives and artists it is a way to open ourselves even more to our process. While we deeply connect with ourselves we devise a deeper connection with our purpose and therefore our expression. Adding boundaries to our process is a wonderful way to check in with what is serving us and what is not and how we can manage our energy and time by creating them.

What Would It Feel Like To Just Be? Tip #Nineteen Episode 38

Wed, 18 Jul 2018 12:00:00 -0700

The truth is we all know what we need and what we desire in this life. Its in there. Somewhere. Some have to dig deeper to unearth it and others have their most honest path easily accessible to them. The fact is, fear gets in the way and shining a bright light on all the things that look scary inside of us does not sound like a fun process.

Though, turning to a place of light can really illuminate those things that we need to work through, to clear away from blocking our true selves. Making it easier to just be. But we can practice that feeling now. What would it feel like to trust yourself to just be a little more than you normally would? Just for a sec longer.

In this episode we explore self-kindness through a relaxing guided meditation designed to lead your mind towards your own truth, your own core and generate easy and light realizations of your own power that exists within your heart.

Through understanding and becoming aware of our ability to make choices, to create and to always have access to our own source of peace, joy and truth is a loving way to acknowledge ourselves. By practicing compassion, gratitude and kindness with ourselves gives us space to lean into our true being, our true purpose and in turn design the lives we want to experience. It only benefits all of those around us when we source our actions from this inspired and honest place of light.

Heal Your Overwhelm With Small Steps Tip# Eighteen Episode 36

Wed, 11 Jul 2018 12:00:00 -0700

I don’t know about you but I’ve definitely been there. I’ve felt immensely overwhelmed. Once I learned that I was totally normal and that it actually occurs during a certain part of my creative process was alone so helpful.

But really understanding how to heal your overwhelm with small steps was the game changer for me. Using Kaizen methods of creating very very small steps that are designed to be as small as I need them to be to stay in motion creates a method that gets you past it. Past the overwhelm, past the fear, past the blocks. Try it! It could change your life!

How To Be A Beginner With Joy Episode 35

Tue, 10 Jul 2018 12:00:00 -0700

We’ve all been at the beginning stages of something before, but as we get older we enjoy that part of the process less and less. As a child we were used to not knowing stuff. We didn’t fall under the spell of comparison as much because we understood the learning process more easily and life felt like this epically long thing that would never ever end, so we could take our time.

Here’s the truth: comparing yourselves with experts or people that have been doing the thing you’re new at is unreasonable. You are still part of an epic journey. In this episode we talk about how to be a beginner with joy again and I create a silly exercise to think differently. Enjoy!

Internal Change Can Become Inspired Action Tip #Seventeen Episode 34

Wed, 04 Jul 2018 12:00:00 -0700

In this episode I ask a few small creative questions that are meant to evoke observation, particularly of our own thoughts. Because lets face it, inside our own heads is where the change needs to start. Just noticing how we think and the things we say to ourselves can shine light on what kind of beliefs and stories we tell ourselves to be true. You can then make choices about that creating internal change, which naturally creates external change and inspired action.

Break The Rules & Make Your Own Episode 33

As artists we are a little more inclined to break the rules than the next guy. Though sometimes there are rules playing out in the background that we don’t even notice are there. Giving yourself permission to ask why can be a really empowering experience. It creates the freedom to let go of the rules that aren’t serving you and make your own set. Ones that are designed to serve you and your creativity.

A Creative Exercise On Creating Space Episode 27

Tue, 12 Jun 2018 12:00:00 -0700

Breaking your own rules can feel counter productive but when the creative muse inside decides it's time to try something new, whether it's a new technique, adding a new color, trying a different style, writing for a different audience, anything at all that seems off brand from the work you've already done, we can lean into exploring that without having to let go of everything we've already created.

And BONUS! We also don't need to beat ourselves up over having new ideas when we're deep in the process.

I share with you an exercise you can try to satisfy and explore these new creative thoughts without any sacrifice and a few positive self-talk techniques to combat all that nasty stuff that sometimes comes up.

What if you were worth it? No, seriously.

Acknowledge that your thoughts are getting in the way and then replace them with this little question instead. You may do too much and need to say no to things...if that's you, same exercise applies.
