The Tidal Podcast

In this final episode of Season 3 and in honour of July 4th, Sarah and Tashion are calling forward the light workers.   We dissect what it means to be a "light worker" in our current society and how we all have a responsibility to illuminate leadership and lead from a place of light, MOST IMPORTANTLY when times in our country, around the world, or even in your immediate orbit are feeling dim.    The power of choosing lightness becomes key in our efforts to grow and nourish the people around us, so choose that light babies.    As always, thank you for listening to the show and for your endless supoort. Happy July 4th and we'll see you in the fall for Season 4!    T + S     

In this spot coaching session, Laura Plato (Founder and Coach at New Frequency LLC) is seeking time for true creativity and the chance to play. The thought of "how do you leave time to dream if you don't sleep" sets in motion the question; "do you believe you are worthy of the investment in yourself?" Tashion and Sarah call Laura to invest in her creative self, by shifting her energy away from the spaces that deplete her battery. They suggest that carving out 15-30mins a day to support yourself is the first step to providing fuel in a different way. Where will you find your 15mins?

In this RipTide where we talk about a strong current happening in culture, and how we are being human with ourselves. If we strip away the old mindset of what motivates us we begin to reflect on what we really desire. If we are not driven by the dollar or the deadline, what does drive us? This looks different than it once did and this moment of change is driving the next wave of what culture looks like. At the most basic level of humanity, we need to conciously engage the world around us in order to find connection. In that same breath, we ask you to give thought to what we are giving ourselves? Providing an opportunity to respect a pause, we can use the energy we consistently push outwards and redirect that energy inwards. . Stay connected with us at @sarahgibbonsco and @tashionmaconphd. .

Diving into Season 3 with our very own Tashion Macon (Speaker, Author and Executive Coach) to discuss her most recent work, "Coming In Hot", a blueprint for black women setting the world ablaze. Sarah guides Tashion to shift from a place of giving to a place of receiving in this powerful conversation about recalibration. As we explore the main themes of her book, we learn that education is not an equalizer and that we must bet on our own blaze in order to discover who we were born to be. Tashion reminds us that it is not enough to arrive, that we must continuously evolve. Instead of striving to fit in the room, what if we build the room? What if we allow our gifts to make room for us? What if we create another way of being? What if we create a world where equality and opportunity is for everyone? That is the heartbeat of this book, and that is how we recalibrate for a future full of hope.

In this spot coaching session, Janine Quijije (Non-Profit CAO) discovers that she can take her power back by exploring and embracing a period of play. Often we associate playfulness with a negative connoation that stems from a perception that those who play are not to be taken seriously or could be unreliable. But what if we allowed ourselves to be free of judgement and felt safe to play? What would happen if we truly removed the need to be perceived as perfect and replaced it with time to embrace that inner child. To run barefoot, to laugh uncontrollably, to stop proving yourself and breathe in a lighter version. Would we then sustain happiness? Janine is shifting from a period of pause into a period of play, and so should you.

Janine Quijije has committed herself to empowering women to foster sisterhood and community in the name of diversity, equity and inclusion for nearly two decades. For 365 days she gifted herself with a period of pause. During this time of self reflection Janine embodied her future self in order to take a journey of introspection. This awakening flourished from the courage to foster her own healing and the vulnerability to be honest about where she was and who she wanted to become. As we listen to her shift in paradigm we too can adjust our perspective. Take a moment to embody your future self. Envision them. What do they look like? How do they speak? How do they move through life? Now instead of dreaming about how to get there, engage in those thoughts and feelings and BE that version.

Bonnie Wan, award-winning Brand Strategist and Author of "The Life Brief", is urging us to unlock the clarity of our boldest desires. What stories hold you back, and which ones repel you forward? In this discussion, Bonnie asks us to release our social conditioning on serving others first and choose to take ourselves out of the back of the line and resume our place in the front. To do this work, we need to get very clear on what's at the core and that is where self awareness exists.

In this spot coaching session, Christine Swanson (visionary filmmaker, most recently known for her direction of the record-breaking film The Clark Sisters: First Ladies of Gospel) is slowing down to achieve her goals by focusing on the steps that it takes to get there. Christine believes that when everyone is walking in their purpose without fear, the productivity is exponential. Thus, she is creating more opportunities where she is in the driver seat and magnetizing the resources around her to be who she was born to be. Being mindful of the open energy leaks that comes from spreading yourself too thin, Christine realizes that to accomplish the overall picture you need to focus on the next step, one at a time.

With the New Year comes New Ideas, and here we are serving up our 1st Roundtable with Filmmaker - Christine Swanson, Producer - Anna Notarides, and Makeup Artist Deida Massey. Resilience erupts from being fuelled by possibility, and with the strikes derailing the entertainment industry these fierce women chose to stay in the mindset of abundance in the forefront of the unknown. In spaces of quiet they leaned into embracing the silence and pivoting that feeling of loss into being found. Through that expansion they found who they are by diverting their energy from work and pouring all that force into cultivating and fostering new experiences. They continued to seek what connection looks like when you nurture relationships with others and most importantly yourself. . Stay connected with us at @sarahgibbonsco and @tashionmaconphd. .
