The Simplifiers Podcast

We are kicking off our all-star season starting today, bringing back some of my favorite conversations from the vaults of The Simplifiers Podcast and sharing them once again.  I think that this one (which originally aired in June 2020) with author Nancy Levin fits so well inside the theme of "self-discipline" that we are exploring this month. So, how do you set healthy boundaries in life, especial...

Earlier this week, we shared part one of this conversation , all about how to use the Myers-Briggs to avoid burnout. No matter which of the 16 personality types there are (The Healer, The Architect, The Teacher, The Protector, to name a few), this wisdom is applicable to you. Because when you understand your preferences that dictate your conscious actions and unconscious behaviors, you can create...

What if I told you that if you knew what your Myers-Briggs personality type was, it could help you avoid burnout… would you be curious to learn more? As you may know, there are 16 different personality types and in fact, there are secrets to how each individually face, process, and handle stressful situations.  My special guest today is author and psychotherapist Jessica Butts and she's simplifyin...

Time for a guided visualization exercise: I want to simplify how to keep your eye on the prize. What does that phrase mean to you? For me, it's all about staying focused on your goal and more importantly, blocking out the distractions and noise around you that might lead you astray. Therefore, I've chosen the theme of SELF-DISCIPLINE for the month ahead. That will be our focus for all episodes on...

Earlier this week, we shared part one of this conversation , all about how to be loving. Her latest book takes a deep dive into seven virtues that are at the root of this work: Divine Love, compassion, forgiveness, wisdom, loving kindness, resiliency, and radiance. We touch on quite a bit of this today, too as we unpack what Love really is with a whole new perspective. Now, if you haven't heard pa...

Today (I dare say) we are talking about the single-most important topic that we've covered on the podcast to date… Love. Divine Love. How to be loving… not only to others but equally to yourself. I mean, it's the eternal life force and energy source at the root of all existence, right? So let's talk about it. My special guest today is Danielle LaPorte and she's simplifying how to be loving.  She b...

Earlier this week, we shared part one of this conversation, all about how to eliminate NOISE in your business communications. And I have to say, I love conversations like these because they always spark new ideas for me on how we run The Simplifiers. No matter if you work inside a large organization or have a small business, the ideas that Sabine shared are applicable to all. Now, if you haven't h...

Do you wish to eliminate the NOISE in your business communications? If you own your business, you know how hard it is to get your prospective customer to pay attention… there's so much that is pulling their eyes and ears away from your product or service offering. And when it comes to the NOISE out there, how do you ensure your brand is part of the solution, not the problem? My special guest today...

Here's how to declutter your workspace in just seven minutes… but I want to do this one in a slightly different way. Instead of talking about theory, I want to make this a working episode, meaning in the next seven minutes, you and I are going to declutter our offices together. By the end of this episode, you'll have made progress on refreshing your space and ultimately, feel proud that you did th...

Time for a guided visualization exercise: I want to simplify how to refresh your outlook on life. Here in Texas, the air is getting crisp and cool on my morning walks and the leaves are slowly fading from green to a brilliant display of reds, yellows, and browns. Yet once again, everything is changing ever so slowly… Do you feel it, too? Therefore, I've chosen the theme of "Refresh" for the month...

Earlier this week, we shared part one of this conversation , all about how to manage your money wisely. And I really feel like it's the perfect way to wrap this last month's focus on Discernment… because when we make wise choices on how we save, spend, invest, and share our money with others, our life changes in a positive way.  Now, if you haven't heard part one, go back and listen to that one fi...

Do you feel like you know how to manage your money wisely? On a scale of 1-10, how confident are you in this department? For me, I feel like there's always more to learn as we save, spend, invest and share the money I make in life, especially when I think about one day sending my kids off to college and if my retirement strategy is really as strong as it could be. My special guests today are mothe...

Earlier this week, we shared part one of this conversation , all about how to identify your pain points in life. This conversation has really stuck with me this entire week through, because let's face it… we as humans are conditioned to avoid pain at whatever cost, right? But then, ironically, we sometimes stay in situations that cause a lot of pain and strife for fear of the unknown on the other...

At times, it's obvious to identify your pain points in life - those things that cause you stress, strife, or leave you feeling like things are starting to go off course and you're not sure how to get back on track. But what about the things in your work and life that are causing you pain that you are oblivious to? How do you begin to courageously work through these elements to get unstuck and star...

Earlier this week, we shared part one of this conversation , all about how to adopt a healthy mindset. For me, the more and more I discuss how the subconscious in our brains work, the more I get genuinely curious with how the mind, body and spirit work in harmony. Even deeper still, what happens when one is out of whack? Does it affect your ability to make wise decision s (Yes.) Does it hijack you...

Are you ready to learn how to adopt a healthy mindset? Because the truth is, when you get your mind in a healthy place, everything else starts to (like magic) slot into place. Have you noticed this?  Opportunities open up, people pop into your mind and when you reach out to them, collaborations get sparked and life begins to unfold in beautiful ways. Abundance is found where there was once scarcit...

Earlier this week, we shared part one of this conversation , all about how to make BOLD decisions. I don't know about you but I really love this time of year. The kids are headed back to school, the weather is (eventually) getting cooler and cooler, and I can kickstart my weekly routine with a little bit of electric energy to shake things up a bit. It's a time of new beginnings and fresh starts, w...

Sometimes life requires you to know how to make BOLD decisions… in fact, that's where the greatest leaps, the greatest triumphs, the greatest joy can be found. So what stops us from doing it? Let's explore that. My special guest today is Josefine Wanner and she's simplifying how to make BOLD decisions.  She believes that when you get clear on your core values and intentionally create time to redis...

Time for a guided visualization exercise: I want to simplify how to make wise decisions. Every single day, we are faced with a 1000 daily choices. Some tiny, some monumental. But all of them make up the rich tapestry of your life. Choose wisely and your life will be surrounded by impeccable people who inspire you to evolve and help make a positive impact on the world. Choose poorly and sleepwalk t...

Earlier this week, we shared part one of this conversation , all about how to shine bright and reclaim your radiance. As I get older and wiser, I'm starting to realize where the root of true radiance and vibrancy comes from… it's not the clothes I wear or the makeup I put on. It's not even my physical body that I see in the mirror. But rather, true radiance where my little light shines bright all...

Part of being a truly radiant person is to learn how to shine bright, yet without that pesky ego getting in the way. Many times you hear about people who "suck all the oxygen out of the room" or others who feel destined to be a wallflower forever. And in both scenarios, I find it fascinating that these are fear-based perceptions… Comparing yourself to others is the quickest way to dim your own lig...

Earlier this week, we shared part one of this conversation , all about how to leap into something new. And since then, I've been really thinking about the crazy ideas and dreams that I (too) have put on the back burner for way, way too long. Like writing a book, delivering a TED talk, and getting back to painting large-scale canvases for fun. Why do we stall on the things that matter most to us? M...

Are you looking to leap into something new soon? Maybe you've been thinking about writing a book, starting a new relationship or making a big career leap… but something has been stopping you from doing the thing, for like, way too long? What is it and how do we overcome that hesitation? My special guest today is author and storyteller Matthew Dicks and he's simplifying how to leap into something n...

Earlier this week, we shared part one of this conversation , all about how to apply the 5 Love Languages after divorce. And one thing I love about being a podcaster is chatting with thought leaders like Dr. Gary who are role models for us all to shine bright and stand boldly in their belief systems.  Disclaimer: Now, Dr. Gary is a Christian and while I want to be clear, no matter what your spiritu...

Ok so, you're divorced, you've done the inner work and you're ready to get back out there and date again… so, how do you apply the 5 love languages after divorce? Can this deep wisdom guide you through this season too? (spoiler alert: YES! ) My special guest today is Dr. Gary Chapman and he's simplifying how to apply the 5 Love Languages after divorce. The truth is, if you're dipping your toes bac...
