Time for a guided visualization exercise: I want to simplify how to keep calm during the holidays. It’s so easy to get caught up in the frenzy at this time of year. It feels like things are cranked to 11 no matter where you go, that it’s certainly counter-cultural to buck the system and to do something different. Remain calm, do less, stay present in the moment and choose a better way. Therefore, I’ve chosen the theme of CALM for the month ahead. That will be our focus for all episodes on the podcast this month. By tuning in, let’s intentionally slow down this month and focus inward  So to kick off the month, today is another guided visualization episode, which we’ve decided to release on the first Tuesday of every month this season. How does it work? Simple! Let my voice be a guide for you as you focus inward to help you tap into your inner wisdom and Intuition for answers. Listen and participate in a guided visualization exercise: how to keep calm during the holidays.

Do you want to write your first book this year?  So do I! I’m knee deep in the process already but when I first got started, I know I had swirling thoughts like, “…umm, how do I do that?!”  My all-star special guest today is Elizabeth Kracht and she is simplifying how to write your first book. If you’ve never done it before, it can be a mystifying and harrowing process. Do you self-publish or not? Do you write the whole book or just start with a rough outline? And where in the world do you meet a literary agent?? So many questions… all the questions! Don’t worry, I asked them ALL for you. My hope is that today’s conversation spins you in the right direction if you’re just getting started on writing your first book. Here’s how. My all-star special guest today is Elizabeth Kracht and she’s simplifying how to write your first book. In this episode, you will learn: What the very first step is that you need to take once you’ve decided to write a book  A few questions that’ll help you define the core building blocks of your book and ensure you stay on track throughout the entire writing process. Ask yourself… What do you most want to say with your work and WHY?  How do you want to help people with this book?  Who is your exact target audience? How to decide which genre is the very best for the message you want to convey and she shared a few different genre options that are best if you’re writing a non-fiction book What elements you’ll need to include in your book proposal, including… the overview the target audience about the author section your marketing plan your list of competitive titles the chapter outline a couple sample chapters All about the bells and whistles… what are a few additional features that you could include in your book that would make it a richer reading experience and more exciting for your reader? Things like… case studies music playlists worksheets & journaling prompts recipes and more How to format your book, especially if you’re publishing in the US If you’re anything like me, I bet half of your heart is totally excited about the writing process and ready to dive in… and the other half is utterly petrified! It’s the fact that “you don’t know what you don’t know” that makes the entire process exhilarating. Just remember… anything new is going to be a wee bit scary at first. Riding a bike, going scuba diving, or even when you take the leap to write your first book. That’s why most people don’t do it. It’s the great unknown and it’s much, much easier to sit back, instead of taking action on this dream.

Are you ready to step up and be the CEO of your well-being? If last year taught us anything at all, it reminded us of how incredibly important it is to take good care of our body, mind, and spirit in order to stay grounded through big change. Self-care is no longer a “should” but a “must-have” priority to maintain your well-being as an entrepreneur. My all-star special guest today is author Naz Beheshti and she’s simplifying how to be the CEO of your well-being. Like a CEO, you’re setting the vision for the year ahead, making calculated predictions that will hopefully pay off in the months to come and equally, making cuts where necessary. All of this requires a whole new vantage point on how you live your life and a possible shift in your mindset to level up. Here’s how.  My all-star special guest today is Naz Beheshti and she’s simplifying how to be the CEO of your well-being. We tackle and simplify all aspects of it, including: What she learned while working as Steve Jobs’ executive assistant, inside the pressure cooker of Silicon Valley… how this brilliant person took great care of himself and equally grew the Apple brand simultaneously  Her book is called “Pause. Breathe. Choose.” - we take a deep dive into all three sections and she defines what mindfulness could look like through a pandemic How to make better choices that will help us manage our stress and build resilience, using the ACE Method: acute, chronic, eustress …and ultimately, what the “3 P’s to well-being” are - pain, prana and purpose, understanding how we can tap into all three areas to our advantage, through our work. We also do a breathwork exercise together to build that prana life-force energy.  It was fascinating to hear her stories of working with Steve Jobs early on in her career, to really get an insider's peek into that world when Apple was booming.  And it certainly rings true for me… when I take good care of myself, get enough sleep, drink more water than coffee, move my body, take time to focus in on my breath, rest, reflect and prioritize it into my daily schedule, I become a better CEO for The Simplifiers. Opportunities (magically) open up and I achieve flow state for longer periods of time.   This is truly living a simplified, joy-filled life. And I hope today’s conversation sparks something new for you, as well. Q: Are you ready to be the CEO of your well-being? If yes, this one is for you.

Earlier this week, we shared part one of this all-star conversation, all about how to say NO to hustle culture. And this conversation has really stuck in the forefront of my mind this entire week. So many aspects of how we choose to live our lives, who we spend time with and who we invest in. What things we bring into our lives and what things we say, “thank you but no thank you.” All of this is wrapped up in this particular topic. Now, if you haven’t heard part one, go back and listen to that one first. But if you’re ready to continue on, let’s pick back up here with my conversation with author Jamie Varon as she simplifies how to say NO to hustle culture.  It’s time to simplify… Here’s how.  My all-star special guest today is author Jamie Varon and she’s simplifying how to say NO to hustle culture. We tackle and simplify all aspects of it, including: How she defines what ‘hustle culture’ is/isn’t and what the consequences and warning signs are that you might be caught up in this trap What it means to be “radically content” - in a real, authentic and lasting way When society tells us we are “not enough” - we remain stuck… how we can squash this old story and begin to unlearn what we’ve been taught us over time Why it’s potentially dangerous to be in the constant pursuit of our “best” lives and ideas on what’s better …and ultimately, she shows us how to reduce the negative self-talk that keeps you dissatisfied and feeling unworthy of happiness and deep contentment. I believe it’s the 1000 daily choices that make up my lifetime.  When I choose wisely, my little light inside shines brighter and brighter.  And equally, when I get overwhelmed or exhausted, have a slip or hit the big red F-it button in the sky, well… that’s a choice too. Either way, I hope you know that you’re never too far gone. When you are rooted down in the present, surround yourself with healthy people and life-giving communities, all it sometimes takes is the courage to take the very next step.

It’s time to decide… is it time to (finally) say NO to hustle culture running and slowing ruining your entire life? I know I am… but you might not even be aware of the insidious undertone that is happening around us and inside us on the daily, that is totally driving the bus. It reinforces the lie of “not enough” and “you’re doing it wrong” because like any virus, it needs a host to feed on. And if that’s you I dare say, I’m willing to bet that it’s not only affecting your physical health, but your relationships, your sense of belonging, and your mental well-being. Let’s unpack all of that so we together can make a change. My all-star special guest today for this all-star episode is author Jamie Varon and she’s simplifying how to say NO to hustle culture.

Thrilled to present another all-star episode from The Simplifiers Podcast vault, this round, we are talking all about how to supercharge your self-confidence featuring a recent conversation with author Kate Eckman. We spoke in April 2021 and that conversation really stuck in my mind for ages afterward. She believes that when we take good care of our inner world, our outer world takes care of itself.

I’m so thrilled if this is the first time you’ve heard of Kate Eckman and her work because I’m willing to bet you’ll really resonate with her story and what she’s learned along the way.  If you’ve struggled with the feeling of “not enough-ness” in your work or life, my hope is that you find the answer to break free from that vicious cycle today.

What if I told you it was possible to level up by doing less? Would you give it a go? So many of us have been conditioned over the years that MORE is the answer. More hours in front of your computer.
