Our lovely guest on the podcast this week is the multi-talented Jodie King.    Jodie King is a teacher, entrepreneur, and professional artist. When asked how many businesses she’s spearheaded, she responds, “Started, or ran?” From managing one of Houston’s premier restaurants at 23, to starting her own organic clothing company in 2004, Jodie has independently conceived, founded, and ran to epic heights three separate businesses.  At 35 she felt the sudden urge to come to the canvas, and soon found it impossible to leave. Her entrepreneurial spirit neighboring that of her passion for painting, she now finds herself at her most ambitious, triumphant, and authentic evolution yet: empowering fellow artists to challenge their status quo and build creatively and financially fulfilling businesses.   This week on the podcast we Jodie King and I discuss why even successful people need healing.   Additional Resources:  Join our Facebook group at: https://www.andreamichel.com/groups If you enjoy this podcast, please share it with your friends by tagging me at:http://www.instagram.com/theandreamichel/ on Instagram.

We've been conditioned to believe that our ego is our enemy, and anyone arrogant, self-centered, or full of themselves has a BIG ego. However, that is not true. To thrive, accomplish our goals, and fulfill our dreams, we need a big ego, and that is a good thing.   This week on the podcast, I'm sharing how I came to realize that my ego is supporting me, the traditional and modern view of ego, signs of healthy and unhealthy ego, and how to strengthen your ego.   Join our Facebook group at: https://www.andreamichel.com/groups   Grab my proprietary, The M.O.R.E.

As we begin a new year, there is a huge shift towards self-care. And while this is a welcomed shift, it is important to understand that self-care is more than bubble baths, massages, haircuts, manicures & pedicures. Self-care is also about being able to identify your own weaknesses and areas of improvement. It's also about recognizing when you are cognitively dissonant. In this week's episode, I'm sharing my own story about recognizing my cognitive dissonance, what exactly is cognitive dissonance which is something almost everyone experiences, why we engage in cognitive dissonant behavior, and some examples of cognitive dissonant behavior.  Dissonance is most painful, and we are most motivated to reduce it when one of the dissonant cognitions challenges our self-esteem (Aronson et al., 1969). In other words, it is not just any kind of inconsistency that causes dissonance, but actions or beliefs that challenge our very sense of self-worth.   Join our Facebook group at: https://www.andreamichel.com/groups   Grab my proprietary, The M.O.R.E.
