Streamline and Thrive Podcast

Let's stop and start considering confidence. Is it innate? Were we born with or without it? Is it necessary in life? What I have learned is that confidence is not for other people. The deepest root of confidence is belief and trust in yourself. Not to please others nor to impress them, but so you can set yourself free from the notion that you are limited by other people's opinions of you. You are...

Preparation brings you fifty percent closer to your goals. I personally need this reminder because I'm the type who tends to do things on the spot, including content creation. Preparation is key to confidence because showing up unprepared just won't serve you. However, when you show up prepared, even just mentally, it's half the battle. Now all you need to do is either deliver on what you prepared...

How will more confidence help serve you in your life, in your work or career, in your relationships? What is your why behind wanting to have more confidence? How has your relationship with confidence been, what's the background? When you think of confidence for yourself, how would you envision it? Are there specific situations that you have in mind, what are they? If not, what kind of scenarios wo...

In this episode I talk about Gary Vaynerchuk, hustle, content creation, being the best version vs being you now, and what do you want to be known for? It's never too late (nor too early) to stop what you're doing and start creating. Let it be fun and enough.  Website: elaineroselle.com

How it started  How it's going  Streamlining → an arduous process  Using systems and tools like Notion * Premade templates to save time * Boundaries between research that saves time and creates output vs going through rabbit holes (sometimes rabbit holes are useful too) * I didn't ask myself foundational questions at first, I just went with what I felt called to do (intuition) ...

* Photos and videos of notes and journals Lists → Do you use pen and paper together with your notes app or separately? Questions → Crucial to your brainstorming process; Start with your overarching goal(s). What do you want to do and what do you need  to do to make what you want happen? A balance of your want to-do and need to-do's The Messy Middle → Connecting the dots; relating your content...

Prompts/ Questions: Your core values? What are they? Your career or business? What are your goals? How can you pursue them in a way that's fun for you? How much is enough for you? How do you define what enough means in your own life? Your personality? Who do you want to be as a person? Your multi-passionate loves? What are your passions? *Passion seems to have a bad rap nowadays; find any word tha...

Organizing your multiple passions by area: Life → In life, I want to... (self + others) Creativity → In creativity, I want to... Spirituality → In spirituality, I want to (explore)... Mental Health → In mental health, I want to... Business → In business, I want to... Legacy → I want to be known for... I want to help... I want to make a difference in... Remember: You won't always get everything fig...

Building Foundations: The first week with Notion Thanks, Wandering Aimfully, for introducing me to Notion with the awesome templates you provided! Invitation to Join: https://bit.ly/3EAzHci Disclaimer: There's a lot of rambling in the intro and, let's be honest, throughout the whole episoded. lolol These are the things that the first week of Notion can help you to track, review, and accomplish: Ha...

For when you’re in physical or emotional pain. Inspired by my latest tooth pains. I know it seems funny, but in the moment of pain, nothing is funny at all. Everything seems so serious and so painful and so irritating. Waking up to intense pain is even worse. Waking up itself is a transition, adding pain to that just makes the process seem even more unbearable. So throughout the day, I feel what I...

So I haven’t still launched and I probably will never do so the proper way. 🙆 I let it be. And I ask you this: Do you really need to do everything right NOW? No, really. I know this sounds like a cop out. Like I’m letting you make all the excuses. It’s not. It’s a simple way to assess whether the mindset we’re in is that of scarcity when it comes to time.

The not knowing is easier and loads better than the knowing but not doing. But sometimes the knowing gets to a point when it has to come out. Website: elaineroselle.com

In between forgiveness and hatred lies a sacred kind of silence that, if or when disturbed, will only prolong the agony, anger, and hurt. It is in needing this space (that sometimes we forget that we CAN have) that we think we ought to forgive quickly and easily. You don’t always have to do what you don’t want to do. There’s a certain freedom in that thought that can hopefully, somehow help suppor...

Feeling really low, weak, and negative today. I’ve been doing my best to keep the energy up by drinking lots of water, trying to eat as healthy as possible, and minimising stress. I notice these times happen especially when it’s nearing my period. And it is important to still honor these feelings. It is a good opportunity to reflect and be thankful. Website: elaineroselle.com

So far, things have been a little bit far from planned. Given the state of this year, that may very well be the ultimate understatement of the century . Let’s just say that, even though things happened that we did not expect, they still happened FOR us. FOR you. Website: elaineroselle.com

2020 is the year I both created and stopped creating content. The more that I think about it, though, the more it makes sense to me. Most of the things that happened in my life this year were and are the exact things I intended to do. Maybe life isn’t just letting it happen to you. Maybe we do have a choice each day, each moment, Maybe we can achieve what we want, just not at the same time. Websit...

At the very core of what I do is an innate need to uplift the way people think about themselves. It is my goal to help those of us who are longing to push past the boundaries of traditional, cultural, fixed thinking. It's not because I simply feel like changing the systems that set the foundations for this world but because I want to focus on the individual, the human being, the people behind the...

In this episode on the podcast, I stress the importance of knowing you are enough. Please don't listen to people who tell you otherwise (hint: they are great marketers). All sleazy marketing and business-gurus aside, know that your worth can never be measured. In the vlog, I also share my tips for finding pockets of time for creativity and a slight riff on using social media. Take care! Links from...

When you’re days are filled with responsibilities, it seems like you aren’t capable of doing anything else. If you’re a content creator, you might get overwhelmed with managing how your day goes. I have been there, too. This is what I did to find pockets of time to create content while being a mom. Links from this episode:  Elaine's Instagram Fruux Calendars Website: elaineroselle.com

It wasn’t until recently that I remembered my love for coding. Now I’ve set out to accomplish, ever so slowly, a project—an app for creative solopreneurs—that can help act as their “online office and creative space.” And I’m 30 now, btw. I decided to get back into some of things I’ve done a long time ago because I really believe in building and creating things that help others. Here are some reaso...

Imagine being passionate about so many things at the same time. It’s like juggling multiple balls in the air. At some point, you can’t keep up anymore and the balls go falling down one by one. You don’t have to subscribe to that story anymore. You don’t have to subscribe to any story that you don’t make for yourself. Just because you are multi-passionate does not mean you can never find focus. Web...

The first thing you could do to get back again is to forgive yourself. By forgiving yourself, you learn. By being kind to yourself, you heal. Sometimes, it’s easier to just go-go-go when pressure is looming before you and that’s fine, too. Take time to reflect, however. Give yourself that space you need to think and feel and be in the present, knowing that it is all you have. Worrying and thinking...

Hint: it's not just about how you look. There are lots of content out there on the Internet already about all the ways you can be confident. You can dress the part. You can wear makeup and look pretty. You can work hard or act as if (you know, fake-it-til-you-make-it mentality, which is one of my favorite things to do, btw). But there's only ONE thing I know for sure that brings me real confidence...

We beat ourselves up so much but it's only because we compare our first day of school as a freshman to someone else's senior year in college. It just doesn't add up that way. Comparing yourself to others will never end up well, even if you think you're better. There will always be someone bigger, smarter, prettier, kinder, whatever-er. But if you compare yourself to who you were in the past and if...
