Mia Magik on Reclamation (or Honing Your "IntuWitchin")

Join me and Mia Magik, a modern ambassador of ancient wisdom who guides others in self-discovery and inner vision connection, which she calls "IntuWitchin." Through her teachings at The Academy of Magikal Artistry, she advocates for a more magikal, sustainable world. Her expertise is backed by certifications in 13 disciplines, including Hatha Yoga and NLP. In this episode, we discuss: what it is to be a "permissionary," the wild things that happened when Mia started to follow her own "IntuWitchin," the universe isn't giving you what you want - here's why, what "witchcraft" actually means (hint: it's not what you think), what steps you can take to disrupt your programming, why she pees outside (you'll want to hear this), and all about her Hogwarts retreats! Connect with Mia at her website MiaMagik.com, or on the socials @MiaMagik. And buy her book, IntuWitchin: Learn to Speak the Language of the Universe and Reclaim Your Inner Magik because it's simply AMAZING.

Jeff Harry on Play (or Turning Your Favorite Pastime into a Job)

Join me and Jeff Harry, who combines positive psychology and play to heal workplaces, help teams build psychological safety and assist individuals in addressing their biggest challenges by embracing a play-oriented approach to work. Jeff has been featured in the NY Times, HuffPost, Shondaland, NPR, and more and has worked with Google, Microsoft, Amazon, the NFL and other Fortune 500 companies to infuse more play into the day-to-day. Jeff’s main goal is to make work suck less by assisting leaders in building a playground workplace atmosphere that motivates their staff to do their most vibrant work. In this episode, we discuss: why being cool is too much work 🤣, how play is the opposite of perfection and expectations are the thief of joy, why you should ask yourself, "How can it get any better than this," the ripple effect of joy, the monetization mistake our society makes, how to find more play in your life, how having things to look forward to can combat depression, why you should take a silly tour in your own city, how to utilize reverse gossip, the difference between a transactional conversation and a transformational conversation, and the importance of human connection. Radiant Rebellion, by Karen Walrond is the book Jeff mentions in the episode. (affiliate link) Connect with Jeff on all the socials @jeffharryplays. Check out this hilarious reel and this one.

Veronica Llorca-Smith on Grit (or Turning Lemons into a Lemon Tree Mindset)

Join me and Veronica Llorca-Smith, a four-time published author THIS YEAR, triathlete, public speaker, and leadership consultant; she is, quite literally, a superwoman. She writes about growth mindset, personal development and positivity, has lived in nine countries, and speaks six languages. She is a mom to two humans and a fur baby and has completed an Ironman. I am in awe of her, so forgive my gushing as we discuss: why she started writing, which platforms she chose and why, the difference between a niche and a vision (spoiler: multi-passionates need a vision), the value of an action bias, building community with Substack, and how to incentivize paid subscriptions (this part is GOLD), the time management system that makes her bionic and how grit helps turn struggles into strengths. Read her excellent article You Don't Need a Niche, You Need a Vision. And be sure to follow Veronica's work on Medium. Sign up for Veronica's newsletter, The Lemon Tree Mindset or connect with her on LinkedIn. Her memoir, The Flight Home, is out now. Go get it!

The Pie-Chart Method: Hack Your Productivity

If productivity is challenging with all the different pursuits vying for your attention, you’re in the right place. In this episode, we’re contesting the “just work on one thing at a time” rule because it doesn’t align with our nature – at all. Instead, I introduce the concept of flexible structure and unpack the Pie-Chart Method for managing multiple projects effectively. The Pie-Chart Method uses the Four P’s: Plugging the time holes, Picking your projects, Picking your productivity system, and Prioritizing your time on the calendar. I delve into these steps, starting with plugging time holes via time tracking. Next, I discuss picking your projects by allocating your time into five “pie” slices, acknowledging the different aspects of your life. Finally, I’ll help you choose the right productivity system, whether batching, the School Day Method, or something else that suits your unique style. Lastly, I discuss how whitespace can help you protect time for what truly matters. Check out Time Management for Squirrel Brains if you need help choosing a productivity system. The task manager that I use is Nozbe, and my notes app is Notion. Both are the bomb dot com. Download ⁠⁠Lifestyle Design for Multi-Passionates⁠⁠. Thinking of starting a podcast of your own?
