Happy Thursday Worthiness Warriors! Hello from Bandon, Oregon. For the past year my whole mantra has been to trust the nudge. The nudge, it feels expansive and like joy for a split second before the fear comes in. Trusting the nudge and yourself doesn’t mean that it’s easy or logical, because often it doesn’t. But, what is on the other side of trust is beyond your wildest dreams.

I’d recently experienced a failure, and I wanted to hide. I told myself that if I experienced failure again I wouldn’t hide, I would share it. And then I experienced great success, and I wanted to hide. I had to think about what that meant. Instead of it being about the outcome, it was about the weight I put on myself and the situation to come out a certain way. The expectations we have of ourselves and what is supposed to happen adds pressure. It’s time to release it.

This episode is a replay from the week of the shooting at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, TX. The heaviness this week is the same. It feels like when you get stuck in the ocean getting hit by wave after wave, without being able to get up. I choose to show up, not just because it’s needed, but because it’s essential. It’s so easy to get lost in the darkness because there is so much of it.

We must instead, remember the light. Imagine it’s nighttime, and there’s a really thick cloud cover. Even on those nights, the stars are still shining, and the moon is still there. Even when we can’t see it. When everyone else succumbs to the darkness, be the light and remind them that there is still light.

Happy Thursday Worthiness Warriors. This episode is really special to me because my good friend Autumn is joining us today. Autumn Lynne is a life coach and author. She helps women who’ve realized that something isn’t working anymore but don’t know where to start making a change.

Back in 2014, her proverbial carton of eggs had dropped and splattered all over the floor. Autumn didn’t know who she was, didn’t know what she wanted, and didn’t have a clue what to do next.

She applied what became the Fresh Start Formula to herself. One decision at a time, Autumn became a woman who prioritizes herself, who makes time for the things she enjoys, and who knows what she wants her life to look like.

In Autumn's book, “How Do You Like Your Eggs?” she takes you through her Formula and helps you create your very own Fresh Start, one decision at a time. You can find more about Autumn here on her website, and purchase her book here. You can find more information about Book to Business with Autumn and Lin Eleoff here. 

Welcome back Worthiness Warriors! Hello from Napa Valley, CA. It’s so incredibly lush and rainy, and this morning we went for a walk and the river was rushing. It feels like the Pacific Northwest.

So frequently we have all-or-nothing thinking, and it’s serving NO ONE. It’s unsustainable, and humans change. Previously, if I didn’t do something consistently I would hide. I didn’t know how to show up at less than 100%. Let 1 tiny action, 1 minute, and 1 thought be enough. We have to shift our mentality to support what we want. You cannot do this all in for the rest of your life. Instead, let’s support ourselves in the 1% more.

Join me for my 30 Day challenge, Do It Scared. I’m asking you to come up with something you are scared of doing. We’re going to accomplish something we are afraid of in the community, and you’ll want to be a part of it. If you want to work with me 1-on-1 with me click here. My next retreat is on the Oregan Coast in May!! Thank you, and have a beautiful rest of your day. I’ll see you next week.

Happy Thursday Worthiness Warriors! I come to you from San Francisco, it has been so rainy! We are safe, safe, and semi-dry. It’s been an exciting time because my podcast has grown a lot lately! I’m thrilled and so grateful that you’re sharing it with friends. I love that I get to be 100% me here.

I’ve been thinking a lot about what makes a person thrive, what is something that all of the people I admire do? They have a lot of value in their self-care, how they treat themselves, and how they speak to themselves. They have grace. In general, and also for themselves. Instead of taking score too soon, they give themselves space to fail, they give themselves grace. Lastly, they do it scared.

Join me for my 30 Day challenge, Do It Scared. I’m asking you to come up with something you are scared of doing. We’re going to accomplish something we are afraid of in the community, and you’ll want to be a part of it.

Happy Thursday Worthiness Warriors! Today, a fellow worthiness warrior is joining me. Helene-Jane (or HJ as I call her) Groarke is a certified life coach who works to pursue and claim big goals through a foundational mindset based in worthiness and the knowledge that you already deserve to live your best life.

HJ helps her clients to unlearn the self-hatred, shame, and toxic gendered expectations created by our patriarchal society. She provides a feminist, anti-diet framework to guide you to get back in touch with yourself and what YOU want rather than what we’ve all been brought up to believe is the “right“ way of living.

She’s my soul sister, and our conversation on the podcast today was so much fun and SUCH an important conversation. Find HJ on her website helenejanegcoaching.com or her Instagram @helenejanegroarke_coaching.

Happy Thursday Worthiness Warriors! Today is a very special day, and I’m so excited to have one of my best friends, Erika Veduccio. She’ll walk us through a journey to finding worth, and how she’s gone through that transformation. This a great reminder that worthiness is a never-ending journey. Join us from rainy SoCal.

3 years ago Erika had her 3 kids at home, and she was in the thick of it. Working full time, being a good wife, a good dog mom, and being a good mother to 1 in elementary school, 1 in middle school, and 1 in high school. She was putting herself last. Busy, tired, and sick. Erika’s health was not in a good place and had a hard time fitting in movement and a healthy diet. There was a turning point when Erika’s priorities shifted towards putting herself first.

Happy Thursday Worthiness Warriors! Hello from Carlsbad, CA. It’s now been a week since my first retreat in Joshua Tree, and it was everything I could have hoped for. This is what I am meant to do, and this is my purpose. I felt so fully myself and had such a lovely time filling my cup.

I have a new standard in my life, the people, opportunities, and spaces who I welcome and self-select into my life, deposit more than they withdraw. That’s exactly the way the retreat felt. That experience exists, don’t give up hope.

Welcome back Worthiness Warriors, and happy Thursday! I just concluded my Joshua Tree retreat, and will be announcing my next location tomorrow! Join my email list here, if you want to be the first to know.

As I reflect on what I’ve shared recently, I want you to witness this idea of humanness. I am showing up perfectly imperfect, to show you what’s possible. Today I pulled a card with Robbie, and it was a bat, which represents death and rebirth. What I realized is the number of things I’ve had to let go of, and parts of me that were no longer serving me that needed to leave my life.

For the first time ever, I started the year in a market space, a space where I didn’t know what I was working towards next. I knew what I wanted to do, but I knew that I didn’t want it to look the way it had been looking. This requires so much authenticity and so much trust in myself. When the achievements and accomplishments are pulled away, lean in.

Welcome back Worthiness Warriors, and happy Thursday! Hello from Desert Hot Springs, outside of Joshua Tree! Today as you’re listening to this, I am on day 1 of my Joshua Tree retreat! I’m so excited, I cannot contain myself! I am announcing my next retreat soon, which will take place from May 18th through the 22nd. I expect it to sell out really quickly, so get in quickly.

February is historically one of my busiest months, and typically that’s because I’m talking a lot about self-love, self-worth, and self-acceptance. These things come up a lot alongside relationships because you can’t be in a truly loving and committed relationship without having a good sense of the things above. I’m curious, what does it mean to love yourself? In different seasons of life, we need a different kind of love from ourselves. What kind of love do you need now?

Welcome back Worthiness Warriors, and happy Thursday! It is officially 1 week until my retreat in Joshua Tree, and I’ve been thinking about how long I’ve wanted to host retreats. I keep asking myself why I waited so long! I’ve decided that some things just don’t work until you’re ready, you must enter the room before something can work. There’s a difference between trying to make it perfect, and it just not being the right time.

Today, we’re chatting about the ONE thing you need to be most consistent in to be successful. Grace. Grace for yourself. Is that what you thought I was going to say? Whether you run a business or a household, your roll requires grace. Not only can you give yourself grace, but you absolutely need to.

Happy Thursday Worthiness Warriors! This week I am joined by Kate Bailey, the founder of TARRA, a coworking space created to change how women connect in all parts of our life. Kate’s expertise as an entrepreneur and business owner was cultivated over 20 years of in-the-trenches experience. A former magazine editor and journalist, she left the industry in 2007 to launch a boutique communications and marketing agency, Annabel Media. As Annabel Media grew, Kate discovered that she couldn't find the right resources to truly take her business to the next level, so in 2015, she founded TARRA, TARRA.co, to transform the way women connect business, life, and community.

Established in 2015, the platform rapidly expanded to include networking, business education, mentorship, and a growing brand of collaborative membership workspaces. TARRA's first flex office and workspace campus opened at 9+Co in Denver in 2022 and today, the TARRA network is expanding throughout the United States with a mission to create a more inclusive and diverse business community through access to vetted business resources, education, and a powerful network of professional women.

Bailey is an active member of the Denver nonprofit community. She is a member of the Empowerment Council of the Women's Foundation of Colorado, held a board position for the Design Council of the Denver Art Museum from 2016-2019, sat on the Small Business Council for the Colorado Women's Chamber of Commerce, was an active board member of the Women's Entrepreneurship Council, and has been an active volunteer for Big Brothers Big Sisters and Children’s Health Foundation in Aspen.

She is an in-demand speaker and panelist for local business groups on topics ranging from public relations and marketing to women-focused business and entrepreneurship.

In 2017, Bailey was highlighted as a rising woman in business by Cherry Creek Lifestyle magazine, named one of the top 100 creatives in Denver by Westword magazine, and has been a featured speaker and panelist at Denver and Boulder Startup Weeks.

Happy Thursday Worthiness Warriors! Hello from Joshua Tree, CA! It took a few days for Joshua Tree to steal my heart, but it’s such a magical feeling place. I am holding my first retreat in Joshua Tree in just a few weeks, and I am so excited.

There is a whole bunch of people who have realized that goal-setting is no longer working for them. We’ve been taught that goal setting means that you’ll have success, it means you’re a hard worker. And that is completely untrue. Goals do not make you successful, you do.

Happy Thursday Worthiness Warriors! Today, we have a really special guest!

He encourages clients to be empowered to understand their health history, environmental factors, and lifestyle behaviors.

Happy Thursday Worthiness Warriors! Grab your pens and your journals, we’re going on a worthiness journey. Do you tie your worth to your income or productivity? When one of those is removed, is your self-worth taken away? Where are you placing your worth? You are worthy because you exist, your worth is not outside of yourself. It is not determined by anything that can be taken from you. Our bodies change, a person can be lost, and our job can go away, but what if we could feel worthy regardless of who or what is in your life? What if the highs and lows you experience can level.

I also have an offering to get the most out of the rest of 2022, called Let Joy Lead, read more about that here. Thank you, and have a beautiful rest of your day. I’ll see you next week.

Happy Thursday Worthiness Warriors! Welcome back! This is the last podcast of 2022! Where did this year go? Today I wanted to offer some options to reflect on the year. I am not into new years resolutions, but living intentionally is one of my largest values. I also believe that you don’t need to wait for New Year to create new intentions.

What have you done/overcome/learned/changed/shifted/healed from in the past year? What are the patterns at play? What do you want to bring into 2023, what do you NOT want to bring into 2023?What is a word or phrase that you want to be your guiding light?Write as if it is December of 2023, and how you’d like to feel, what you’ve done, and who you’ve become.

Something beyond anything you’d ever thought possible is in your future. It’s this or better. Thank you for going on this ride with you this year, and thank you for letting me be a part of your life. This living takes a ton of courage. Cheers, to the year to come & cheers to you!

Happy Thursday Worthiness Warriors! Welcome back! I’m currently recording in Dallas, but when you’re watching we’ll be leaving Big Bend National Park, did you know there are mountains in Texas?

I was driving with a friend recently, and she told me that she no longer wants to live for the next vacation, the weekends, or the next adventure. Instead, she wants to live each and every day. Do you know someone who has created a life of joy and adventure daily? Hi, I’m Jillie, it’s me! The overwhelming majority of us are waiting, patiently, for the next thing that gets us outside of the grind.

In order to create something different, we need to learn what we are coping with and escaping from. I know when I’m scrolling, I’m running away from something. When you become aware of what you’re trying to avoid that’s when you can begin sitting in it and healing it.

Happy Thursday! We’re back this week with a special guest! Christine is the founder of Radiant Heart, a lifestyle and longevity practice providing integrative wellness support to cultivate optimal living. She specializes in empowering high-performers and recovering perfectionists to holistically navigate chronic stress, anxiety, and stubborn weight loss.

With primary roles as a Functional Nutrition & Lifestyle Practitioner, Optimal State Level 2 Yoga Therapist for Mental Health and Board-Certified Behavioral Coach, she educates her clients that the health solutions that worked in their 20 's and 30's, unfortunately, do not serve you in their 40's and beyond. Her comprehensive, holistic programs are designed for the go-getters of the world who want new tools and new insights to solve these challenges. 

Christine distills any confusion of of why you’re feeling the way you do and how your body functions by guiding you how to reset and re-train your nervous system, gut, brain and metabolism.  

She utilizes the principles of functional medicine and nutrition, modern neuroscience, and ancient eastern traditions. By drawing from both western and eastern modalities, her approach is unique, bio-individualized, and foremost, rooted in love. 

Happy Thursday! It’s good to be back after the holiday break. Hello from Dallas, where we celebrated Thanksgiving. We’ll head out soon for our next adventure out west! I’m so happy to be here to share all of the lessons that I have been experiencing, it has not been easy. I am worth more than easy.

We have to get uncomfortable, and evolving is uncomfortable. It’s normal to get caught up in perfect healing, and it is completely imperfect. You all know how much I love nature, and I’m constantly being reminded that it is the perfect mirror for our lessons. It’s free guidance. I feel incredibly lucky to spend more time in nature than the average person, and there is a huge shift in energy when spending time in a city after enjoying the amount of nature we do.

This morning, in Dallas, I was looking around at the trees. They are pruned, tamed, and made smaller in order to fit into what is required by a house, HOA, or street. They are altered in order to make everyone around it feel most comfortable. This isn’t at all different from people and our taming.

Happy Thursday, and Happy Thanksgiving! This episode is a throwback to Thanksgiving 2020. Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday, I love community, connection, and gratitude! It’s the best holiday to spend quality time. Sometimes the holidays are tough, but the meaning is only because of the weight that culture gives it.

Thank you for being here, I’m thankful for each and everyone of you.
