The Doing Scary Things Podcast

Mary Hyatt is someone everyone needs to know! She is a life and mindset coach, born and raised in Nashville, Tennessee who works with female entrepreneurs, helping them find a balance between masculine and feminine energy and helping them get turned back on for life. She hosts the amazing Living Fully Alive podcast that we highly recommend! Mary shares her story from 8 years ago of finding herself in a place of "what happened". It was an awakening moment and it's from this place that she is able to help clients from a place of non-judgement and empathy. She talks with us about the importance of feeling difficult emotions and how to remember the tools that you have during difficult times like the recent Nashville tornadoes and the current COVID-19 pandemic, such as mindfulness practices, meditation, prayer, centering yoga and more. She describes the compassionate energy we should have for ourselves during this time when we are all working our way through the stages of grief, and the importance of giving yourself grace! She reminds us that we are fully resourceful, we can pivot in business to figure this out, there is light at the end of the tunnel and that love always wins. "People survive, adapt, and evolve! We get through hard things. We got this!" Mary is launching a new membership site soon, so be sure to connect with her and check it out! ---------------- Connect with us online! https://www.facebook.com/doingscarythings/ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC7wZ63VjnGKLlU50_59ksjg Email us! doingscarythingspod@gmail.com Instagram: @doingscarythings @thekatiesnyder @annaesthetic23  #doingscarythings Schedule your Free Coaching Consultation with Katie!  

Mary Caroline Russell is an entertainment photographer who started shooting with disposable cameras ten years ago while living in a small Texas town. Now she travels the world with musicians on tours. She shares with us how she built this career without knowing it was even an option, how she got her start back in those myspace days, and why handling each job with care makes a difference. We discuss why knowing your gear well is better than having all the gear, what tour life and being around people 24/7 is really like, and the importance of having community and surrounding yourself with people who will tell you the truth. MC describes the trickiness that is having creativity as a profession and what it's really been like as a female in the industry. Lastly, she gets really honest about taking things one day at a time as a freelancer and how to trust your gut and core values, even when there are well-intentioned naysayers.

Welcome! Today on the pod, Anna shares her thoughts about the practice of gratitude. She recorded this minis ode before the current chaos of our world struck, however we think it's especially relevant today! She discusses the importance of gratitude when all is going well AND when it isn't, and that it can make your present situation more rewarding and provide a necessary, helpful perspective. Anna gives us a practical list of things we can be grateful for each day. It can be so helpful to acknowledge what we DO have going for us, and while gratitude does not nullify a problem, it helps us move forward healthily, and is a tool to navigate challenges and relationships in your life. We hope you'll join us in adding gratitude to your daily life! ---------------- Connect with us online! https://www.facebook.com/doingscarythings/   https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC7wZ63VjnGKLlU50_59ksjg   Email us! doingscarythingspod@gmail.com   Instagram: @doingscarythings @thekatiesnyder @annaesthetic23  #doingscarythings   Schedule your Free Coaching Consultation with Katie!      

Today we have the distinct honor of celebrating our 50TH EPISODE with Dr. Jerome Lubbe, the ONLY board certified functional neurologist in Atlanta.  Dr. Jerome specializes in complex, unresolved cases, and in general, teaches people how to use and strengthen their brain. Additionally, he is the author of Whole-Identity: A Brain-Based Enneagram Model for (W)holistic Human Thriving. Dr. Jerome gets really vulnerable with us about why he became a doctor after being a patient for 20 years and suffering debilitating migraines during that time and still today. He shares that his goal is to help find everyone some sort of improvement in their pain. We talk about how to remain hopeful, even when in terrible pain, and we ask him to explain in detail how our brains deal with fear. We discuss the difference in self-care and self-help, and, OF COURSE, we get his fascinating take on his own interpretation of the Enneagram and why none of us are just ONE type.

Today we talk with performance coach, show doctor, & host whisperer, Bill Cakmis. Bill has worked with some HUGE celebrities, athletes, politicians, & people from all walks of life and shares a few of their stories here. Bill tells us all about his varied career - being on stage since age 6 - and how he grew his business to be THE person who people call when they need a problem solved. We talk a lot about the importance of trying things even if you might fail and why failing at things is a necessary part of the process. Bill shares that failure does not define us and shouldn't make us afraid to live our lives. He also wisely says, "It takes as long as it takes," and shares that of all the people he's ever worked with, none of them accomplished what they initially set out to, even though they eventually did find success. (Things don't go according to plans, but sometimes they go better.) Lastly, we discuss the importance of having gratitude every day, especially for having the opportunity to try different things out, and what he calls that pesky fear voice in his head. To buy Bill's books, simply search 'Cakmis' on Amazon.   ---------------- Connect with us online! https://www.facebook.com/doingscarythings/   https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC7wZ63VjnGKLlU50_59ksjg   Email us! doingscarythingspod@gmail.com   Instagram: @doingscarythings @thekatiesnyder @annaesthetic23  #doingscarythings   Schedule your Free Coaching Consultation with Katie!    

Today we have the great pleasure of talking with Audrey Hall - who started taking photos in 1991 and since then has created a full career including being an artist, commercial photographer, and now the scariest thing yet for her, music. After experiencing severe burnout and losing "my passion for what I do", Audrey pursued "a path of joy", trying many different new things. Music was the thing that stuck. She talks with us about how scary it is to be a beginner at something after having proficiency in another craft.  She shares a hilarious story about how even her friend and neighbor Jeff Bridges gets nervous, but, in his words, "the experience makes it all worth it." Audrey smartly shares that, "It's okay to be afraid," and explains how nerve is a great tool to keep you present and paying attention. We discuss how, as a culture, we are encouraged to specialize and master ONE thing, but as Audrey points out - "people have depth." She describes the journey she's been on with creating music and asking herself, "How can I be most authentically me? And how do I put that into the world?" We also discuss masculine vs feminine energy and not indulging the culture of "busy", and Audrey gives great advice to any one looking to transition out of their 9-5. Audrey advises surrounding yourself with people better than you and says, "Making art is one of the bravest things you can do."

Today we are talking with Melisa Celikel, owner of Make Sht Happen, LLC about how she left her 15 year corporate career working for Fortune 500 companies to creating a career she didn't want for herself, to once again pivoting and finally creating a job she loves!  We ask her about being a first generation US Citizen, as well as what it was like to become an entrepreneur with no prior experience and without her parents' understanding. Melisa tells us all about her organizational work with her clients and how it has everything to do with Mindset. She also explains the journey of figuring out that even though she is highly analytical, that she is also creative and when she couldn't find a "creative group" for people like her, she created her own in order to find her tribe. We discuss our shared disdain for all of those "5 steps to success" plans out there and she shares how she walks her clients through strategic planning to get them to where they want to be. Melisa shares the bravery it took to go back to a 9-5 job on her own terms and how damaging it can be to imagine what others will think of you. Lastly, she shares with us that "Action cures fear," so you should take the messy action and live with no regrets!

Dr. Matt Smith has a revolutionary approach to health, healing and maximizing human potential. We loved getting to chat with him about what kind of services he offers his clients and what it’s been like opening his own business. Along with his wife, Dr. Monica Smith, the Dr.’s own Rev Center for Optimal Living in Chattanooga, TN. He is a chiropractor by license but has a very different approach than what you typically think of from a chiropractic office. Dr. Matt's focus is really on the nervous system and helping people overcome chronic stresses and challenges that have been built up in their body that are preventing them from living their absolute best life.   Dr. Matt tells the story of how he and his wife came to learn their unique method and what that journey has been like up to this point, including really understanding the nervous system, the bio energetics of the body, how our nervous system processes life experiences, and how they get trapped in our body. He goes on to explain that as we begin to integrate and process those things built up within our body, we can express higher levels of health, well being and vitality. And then learning to be more adaptable, more resilient to the future stresses and challenges that come our way and moving through those things faster.    Dr. Matt not only works with nervous system health, but also with personal growth and development, learning about energy and quantum physics, vibration, and tone energy. We also discuss how this entire world and universe is actually made up in a whole different paradigm of understanding, and how cultivating hope for people can sometimes make the biggest difference.   This was an absolutely fascinating talk and one that has transformed our personal lives in a big way. Send us a note to let us know what you think of this episode!   Connect with Dr. Matt and Dr. Monica online at www.revoptimalliving.com and on Instagram and Facebook.
