• We all have different money stories and relationships with our bank accounts. ⠀ I’ll admit, I’ve never been very in touch with my finances. But ever since I became self-employed, I’ve had to become hyper-focused and face then in a whole different way. ⠀ Whether or not you’re also riding the self-employed train, I’m sure you would agree that as we grow older, we simply can no longer afford to play the victim, ignore or turn a deaf ear. ⠀ Because the truth is, no one is coming to save us or bail us out, except ourselves. ⠀ Sure, being an adult sucks sometimes. Sorting through finances is a tedious, confronting and emotional task. But what if we could let go of the stress? And I don’t mean just until the next tax season rolls around, but for good? ⠀ There’s a way —and I’m sharing it with you on the pod in today’s episode (@ideaswithintention). Tune into my interview with Worry-Free Money author, @shanleesimmons on ending financial drama & surviving modern life. ⠀ Shannon provides permission to opt-out of our life checklists and be more intentional with the dollars that enter and exit our bank accounts. ⠀ EPISODE NO. 72 (a must-listen!) is now available on iTunes, Stitcher and Spotify! 🎧

  • Earlier this week I sat down and really thought about how I wanted to use this platform in 2019. ⠀ While it’s much easier to consume captions than it is to create them, I’m challenging myself to connect in ways that feel less like a one-sided conversation, and more like we’re having an authentic exchange. ⠀ So today I hopped on live (you can still catch the replay) to expand on this week’s episode about intentional friendships and while I get nervous every time I hit that “go live” button, it felt so good to not only speak, but to listen. ⠀ I’ll be continuing to practice the latter, by asking more questions than I answer and by choosing to prioritize depth over width in the context of community. I hope this inspires you to do the same! ⠀ pc: @elanaloo

  • After a 3 month break from the pod (@ideaswithintention), we’re back with a brand new episode! Season six of the show kicks off today and I couldn’t be more excited about the line-up of topics we have planned. ⠀ Today’s episode in particular has been one I’ve wanted to produce for awhile. It’s all about finding mutual and meaningful friendships, healing from heartbreak that isn’t romantic, and learning how to truly take an intentional approach to selecting the individuals you allow to speak into your life. ⠀ I’ll admit, navigating friendship as an adult has been tough, that is until I learned that not all friends are created equal —more on this in today’s episode! ⠀ I hope you tune in —I’ve already heard from so many of you that you’re finding your own story in mine. ⠀ EPISODE NO. 71 “Intentional Friendships” is now available on iTunes, Stitcher and Spotify! 🎧 ⠀ pc: @dalisonphoto

  • You’d think that I (of all people), would have her 2019 intention or ‘word’ for the year picked out, but I’ll admit, many that I tried on just didn’t seem to fit quite right. ⠀ Maybe because I purposefully left 2019 as kind of a blank canvas. Nothing currently holds a permanent spot in my calendar. None of the plans I’ve made are set in stone. ⠀ I wanted the freedom to ask—what if?—and space to explore the possibilities. ⠀ To be CURIOUS —I suppose that’s my intention, my word, my muse for the new year. ⠀ + How far can I push myself creatively? + Who can I learn and receive support from to grow my business? + What can I do to hone my skills and expertise in consulting? To do the common things, uncommonly well? + Where have I yet to adventure to? And how can I revisit old or familiar places with new eyes? ⠀ Curiosity is the spark. It drives us to start, question, try, and dream. It leads us on unexpected journeys — and drives us further than we could ever imagine. Sounds a little messy, but I’m ready to roll up my sleeves. ⠀ And if you find yourself in a similar spot, just remember: ⠀ Sometimes our years aren’t about checking off boxes, but rather about editing and refining the list. ✨
