187: Saying Goodbye for Now with Paula Crossfield

I’m being totally transparent by saying that 2024 has been a LOT for me, both in my life and with what’s going on in the world. Because of those things, I’m taking some time off from the podcast. My primary reason for this decision is to spend more time with my dad, who is terminally ill. In addition, I feel a shift coming in the way I do my business, so I need to take a step back and gain a fresh perspective on future steps. Getting back to the basics of astrology and taking care of myself during this hiatus will help me in many ways. I will be back, even if things look different because I’m passionate and committed to my podcast platform. So, this episode is just a “goodbye for now” message from me to my listeners. Show Highlights: Trusting the process and exploring possible pivots My two containers for 2025: Cosmic Business Bootcamp and the Heal Your Money Karma program (Learn more about these programs on my website .)

181: How We Do Things Matters with Paula Crossfield

Tomorrow is Election Day here in the US. No matter what the outcome is, we have to ask ourselves how we want to proceed. We have taken so much for granted that it’s time to stop making assumptions. Far beyond who the next US president is, the truth remains that how we do things matters. Let’s talk about this concept. Show Highlights: Getting to the end we want through force and violence is NOT the answer. (Dr. Robert Svoboda brings the truth forward in his Aghora Trilogy that “The ends don’t justify the means–the ends ARE the means.”) Think about how you want to achieve your goals. Negative qualities bring negative karma. Relate this to your business and the outcome you want. Lead your work from a place of ease and spaciousness that honors your body and mind. Our only option is to be MORE intentional. A new way is emerging around self-care, energy, and trusting yourself. Can you treat your life like an altar? Finding personal inspiration from a dear friend Getting to the next level requires change. My advice around taking a pause, listening to your intuition, and infusing more intention and care into what you’re doing The question: What can you do to bring more intention and awareness into how you are doing things?

178: My Creativity Process & Making Time to Write a Book with Liz Kimball

I am excited to bring you this episode, which has been a long time coming. The tables are turned on me today as my coach, Liz Kimball, interviews me about my creative process, which requires vulnerability. I’m being open and candid about making space this summer to write my book. You’ll hear how I moved through blocks, made space to write, and developed a feminine perspective on business and creativity that is essential to mental health and success. I hope you enjoy this conversation! Liz Kimball is a creativity coach and catalyst dedicated to helping the next generation of women creators produce the meaningful, creative works of their lifetime. She is the creator of The Creative15, The Original Source Creativity Incubator, and the Expansion Project. Her work focuses on catalyzing individual and collective change through the magic of the creative process. Her work has been featured at TEDx, Oprah.com, The Female Quotient, and at universities and institutions nationwide. Show Highlights: Paula’s process and where she is right now Fulfilling a lifelong dream to be a writer Finding flow, showing up in content creation, and trusting your voice Deciding what to write–and realizing we aren’t in control of the timeline “Breaking the mold” and existing “outside the box” Making sure shame is taken out of the room in the creative process It’s okay to let yourself want what you want. Honoring the material by not editing while writing–”Let yourself BE in the wildness.” Reclaiming your power and energy by allowing the creative process to unfold Curating your inputs, honoring your intuition, and pulling back from things that squelch creativity Obstacles that came up in making the writing vision a reality Finding pleasure in the process—(THAT’S the ROI!)
