Tuning In for Slow Living Creatives

Watch or read this episode here When you're afraid to read fiction because it's "not productive." I've never been much of a reader. I was always the cliff notes kind of person in school. I've always been more of a TV person…. until this year when I consumed 47 books. I feel like I've unlocked this whole new world and this new side of self-care for me. It's interesting how it's impacted my creative...

So I think ChatGPT has become my new business bestie… I've been using it so much lately and having conversations with it (not in a creepy way.) In a way that has helped for the past month and a half : * clarify my ideas. * actually take action on those ideas. * Lighten the load...

Read or watch this episode here Hi Hi! I'm so excited to share that I'm restructuring my paid tier here on Substack to create: * More connection with yourself * More community * And to just talk more specifically about creativity, motherhood, and slow living.

Read this article + join our community of slow living, mom creatives here . If you're a podcaster, creative, or somebody who has thoughts that they're craving to share: you're a writer…. You just might not realize it yet. I am an audio person first. * Staring at a blank page and trying to type just doesn't work for me. * I've gotten better with that over time by creating in this way. But all in al...

Welcome to Tuning In! A community of mom creatives craving slow, intentional lives. Join us to explore slow living, minimalism and creativity at the intersection of motherhood with articles, videos and mini-courses.

I don't know about you, but I love Pinterest. I'm a very visual person. My close friends and I laugh because I have a very weird mind that plays a movie in my head for what I’m visualizing. And so what I love about Pinterest a...

You can read or watch this episode here . I'm so excited to have this conversation with Claire Venus (she/her) ✨ - I’ve been following her on Substack for a while. Watching her growth with not one but two publications, teaching others how to use the platform, raising her kids and growing her paid community into a bestselling membership. That’s why we hopped on the mics to talk through: * Going Pa...

Read or watch this episode here Your experience matters. I just got back from a wonderful breakfast with an amazing friend. And our conversation today, paired with a Netflix documentary I watched last night, and a months-worth of little breadcrumbs have brought this concept into focus for me. Experience vs. Expertise I’ve found so much of this online space to be focused on being the expert, the th...

For the full experience: watch Episode #1 of Recording on the Road here or read it here . Are we giving ourselves the thing we crave most? I’ve desperately needed rest lately. So I texted my mom to watch the kids, took to Airbnb, found a gorgeous rental and Collin and I hit the road to recharge. But once we got here… I started to struggle with what “counted” as rest. I was going against my impulse...

I was hit with an overwhelming wave of gratitude the other day. And it was interesting because: * the gratitude * and recognition of how I've been feeling good * and how happy I am with some of the changes I've made in my life recently came because of the contrast of not getting to do those things in the way I've been doing it. It's interesting… that sometimes it takes lack to recognize the cravin...

* read and interact with this post here Growing My Business Without Social has been this awesome spot to share my stats and journal my impulse to leave social media behind. I’ve been lucky to do this alongside my friend Holly Haynes , who has gone on to create a whole program helping 100s of other mompreneurs and creatives find a way to create content that feels good and makes them sales in an aut...

Watch the video announcement here We’re taking this show on the road. I’ve been craving a shift lately: * To travel more * Adventure * Explore * And create We’ve been working towards this familypreneurship life for a while now. We’re already unschooling our kids and I notice that when I’m out, traveling, exploring, DOING…. it’s a lot easier. Even though we run a podcast and content studio up here...

Read this full post and join our community here . I have a new theory about a career that doesn't exactly exist yet. It feels like there is a group of us who loves to talk and share, but all the traditional business models don't really fit for us either. There's the old school way of podcasting where you get to talk and share, but you've got to focus on downloads and ads and all of these things th...

I love that our platforms get to be our own worlds but when Claire Venus prompted: How would you best describe your Substack if it were a place? I froze 😳  I started on Substack because I love all the platform can do- it’s limitless and brilliant. ✨ With one push of a button I can create, share and market in whatever way feels good that day. I was so swept up in the utility of it all that I forg...

Do YOU really want to consume more content? That's a question I've been asking myself a lot lately. Our time is precious. And, I don’t want to be another person, simply fire hosing you with information for “ consistency’s sake ” (or mindlessly consuming myself, either.) * I think as business owners and as creatives, it's an important question for us all to stop and ask ourselves more. To be very i...

You know, those times when you feel like you're shifting? Like there's a new wave or something's coming up for you? When that happens for me- what I do best is organize my thoughts and then simplify. Today I felt this new shift in the way that I've been creating and tracking and where I want to go next. I’ve felt a change in allowing myself to do these things that I never allowed myself to do befo...

I’ve been having a lot of talks about why we’re creating content and doing certain things in our businesses lately. * Whether it’s my own internal conversation * Or with clients and friends I think we’re all coming to reframe what content is, why we’re doing it… or at least craving answers to- does it have to be this hard? My mindset around creating content: It's okay to slow down and take time on...

I think sometimes as business owners and moms, it can feel like: “Well, what am I even doing here?” You know? I always love to reflect back the through lines I see to fellow mompreneurs I work or chat with because, as one of my coaches used to say: You can’t read the label from inside the bottle. But in my recent Youtube research as I’m creating this new YouTube channel and cinematic videos to pai...

I am extremely passionate about the philosophy of photographic practice and how we can continue to become more of ourselves through this tool that is usually a trigger for most. To use photography as a tool and a portal to really get truer and deeper into our own self discovery. The portal being the pictures, the taking of the pictures- as far and as wide as you want to go with it. I feel like we...
