“Failure is Helpful” - Naketa R. Thigpen of ThigPro

Episode 71

@asknaketa and I had the most lovely talk on this week's podcast episode. As a highly sensitive intuitive business owner, do you find it difficult to set boundaries?

I know for myself this was a really difficult step on my healing journey, and honestly I am still navigating it at times.

One of the lines that really caught my attention while Naketa and I were chatting was that she mentioned that boundaries are meant to be expansive. Boundaries can start by looking one way, and may need to adjust with us as we expand our businesses or pivot. But the key to boundaries, Naketa says, is actually finding balance with our boundaries. She has a method she uses to find balance within her boundaries.

Who are You not to do it? - Katie Holland

Episode 70

Have you ever used dance to help you process your emotions?

The first time I heard about Awakened Bellydance I was chatting with Katie, @katieholland8, @awakenedbellydance in the DMs. She shared with me what she does with her clients and why she believes that this dance is one of the most important pieces of getting more in tune with our bodies.

After experiencing imposter syndrome, I was on board. Katie shares her story in this week’s episode, how she went from working in the pro Bellydance industry performing in India for Bollywood celebs, socialites and multi-national corporates, to taking a leap of faith, creating her own dance therapy and developing a global sacred dance business from the ground up. All because she got a very clear message one day telling her if she didn’t go after this goal, she quite literally might die.

Take Our Own Power Back (Part 2)

Episode 68

@luminousvista_advertising Nicola and I had the BEST conversation in part two of the interview. Not only did we touch on what actually happens when you start to heal, we both touched on the fact that healing isn't always easy. Especially when we have past trauma, or situations where a belief we hold so closely no longer really impacts us the way it used to. When you are at this place, Nicola says it's really important to lead with Love. The Love that you start to express during your healing venture will flow off onto others, plus it keeps us out of this unnecessary spiral of inflated emotions. Love keeps us balanced and grounded, allowing us to show up as we truly are.

Take Back our Own Power (Part 1)

Episode 67

We need more love on Instagram, honestly we need more love in this world.

This week's podcast interview is with the lovely Nicola the owner of @luminousvista_advertising. Nicola and I have the same perspectives, we both believe that the more we as humans can lead with love, the more we start to Take Back our Own Power.

Some people might think that fighting for what you want takes more pressure, more talking, more movement. But we took the other side of the conversation in this week's episode, what if we just lead with love.

Would that make us more curious? Would it open our minds more? Would it make us happier at the end of the day?

Do you hate social media? But want to keep building your brand?

Social media can be a pain, but if you have a community online that you love, social media is actually so fun!

Creating content that will attract your ideal client will actually help you build an audience that will make you feel so welcomed on this platform. If you currently hate social media it is probably because of these three things…

  1. You are following and engaging with the wrong people, it's time for an account edit.
  2. Your content rarely is speaking to your audience, so its not working in your benefit
  3. You are over consuming on others content

Once you join our Free Webinar tomorrow you will know exactly what content is not working and what is working. You will have key takeaways from each of these analyses, it will make coming to your account much more clear. And clarity is the first step towards healing your broken relationship with your Instagram account.

Do you love what you do but hate creating content for it?

Episode 64

Join me for our Free Learn Your Insights Webinar next Wednesday, June 22nd to learn more about creating content and leveraging the data your account already has! 

I have been exactly where you are. When I first launched Meraki I had no idea what I was supposed to be posting. I found creating content so challenging, and most of the time I just ended up not doing it. You can even scroll back on this account and still see some of that content that I created - don’t come for me, I know it wasn't good LOL! 

Content creation is actually not as difficult as it seems. Once I started to step back and think about what my community wanted to hear from me the content started flowing. During the pandemic I started to open up more about my story and who I am. I started to see movies and signs on the street that prompted content ideas for me. It really came down to trusting myself and experimenting a bit, with no expectations attached to it. 

When you write your content, how do you get ideas from it?

Details are the Key to Manifesting (w/ Kate Hanson)

Episode 63

The most powerful form of manifestation comes when you start looking into the details, says @kate_hanson. Think about the coffee in the morning, the sun on your skin, the cold fruit you're eating, the family you have over, the moments in time you really want to create, down to every sensation you can think of. 

We even get into a few fun exciting things I have been manifesting on my own recently. And it made me think, when was the last time you asked yourself - If you could have ANYTHING in the world, what would it be? No money restrictions, no outside environmental factors, what would it be? 

Now, let's think about, what's the first step towards getting there? That's how @kate_hanson walks us through, turning a manifestation into a reality in this week's episode of The End in Mind! @kate_hanson walks us through, turning a manifestation into a reality

It was about time we talked about it …

Episode 62

Our whole lives we are told to fit in, you should also stand out, but don’t stand out too much, or that might make you “weird” - GASP! 

I used to believe that standing out too much would draw too much attention to me, I wasn’t sure if I wanted to be seen, or honestly who I really was if I was to be seen in the first place. So I decided to try and fit in, which most people do, right? 

Fitting in meant following the status quo, doing the things that seemed “right”. Rather than doing the things that felt Real to me. 

I remember the first time it was so obvious to me. I was sitting in class in JMU communications school, and a professor mentioned that “when” we get a job at an agency, this is how we should be writing our feedback, that's why we were getting this assignment in class. 

When I was in school if I got an assignment I did it right away, it was a part of my perfectionist controlling personality. (I still struggle with this at times). So naturally after I got the assignment I went home and started typing. By the end of the paper I was so proud of myself. I even had a family member read over it (since hello, I'm terrible at grammar) . I could have used some extra eyes before the final draft was submitted. 

When I got the paper back, I received an F. There were multiple markings all over the paper, it looked like my paper was put through a pen fight, LOL, looking back now this can be funny, but at the time I was heart broken. 

I had to go to office hours so I could speak with my professor in person, I asked “What did you think was wrong with the paper overall”. He said, “You completely missed the assignment, no one in the real world would ever accept a paper like that.”

I stood there, suddenly feeling nauseous. Well if I didn’t fit in here, where the hell was I supposed to fit in? A common feeling I had throughout my life, but nevertheless still painful. 

Have you all experienced anything like this before? Where you were quite literally told, you don’t fit in, you’re not good enough?
