Tuning In for Slow Living Creatives

I was recently writing a Substack and noticed I said the word conviction, in terms of how I'm feeling right now creating and moving from a different spot than my normal perfectionistic self. I thought: “I swear I've done an episode on this before.” So I looked it up and sure enough it was literally a year ago that I posted: Following Through on Big Ideas- Part 1 . So here is part two: How I'm fill...

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit tuningin.substack.com A couple months back I had a conversation with my friend Dre about Cleveland, entrepreneurship and the 9 lives she’s had as a business owner. Our conversation naturally flowed into Human Design, which really sparked an interest in me. I had looked into it before (and knew some of the basics like my energy type is m...

This probably sounds weird, but I've been using the word fangirl a lot in regards to everything in my life and in business. I found myself talking about myself today in a way (which admittedly sounds weird to say out loud) but fangirling over the content that I'm putting out. As I think about it more, I thought it might be something worth sharing with you: Is the work you're doing now and are the...

This thought just came to me, and I wanted to share it because I think it could be really helpful. The concept being: I couldn't hear it before, but now I can. I think it's interesting that there are times in our lives where we have to hear a message again and again. And sometimes it takes multiple times until we're finally ready to listen. I couldn't hear it, but now I'm ready to listen. I'm read...

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit tuningin.substack.com I went through my stats last night to share with you how we've been growing our business without social. (I'm putting without within air quotes. I'll explain that in a minute.) I started this series last month for our paid subscribers to document our process and what’s working in growing our business and am really...

Today I recorded in studio with Tiffany from Itty Bitty Bake Shop and we were talking about mom life, Cleveland life and all the things- when a really interesting takeaway for me (sans the rest of our conversation) came up. I was recognizing the growth I've made in the past five years as a mom and the why behind that change in me: Slow Living. This is a public episode. If you'd like to discuss thi...

I've really been tuning in to how often I'm looking at the improvement instead of the enoughness and the goodness in what is here now. The easiest way to see this, and has been coming up a lot lately for me, is in our home. And so, what I've been uncovering for myself is this concept of: as is. How can I look at what is in my life right now and learn to love it as is? I was journaling on this the...

I recently met Erin Galloway on Substack and thought- you’ve got to meet her too. She’s a Cleveland Mom living in Cincinnati, Podcast host of the Press Publish Podcast + Substack and Owner of Habitize Publishing for self-published authors. The Intersection of Podcasting + Self-Publishing Maybe you feel this way too, but we noticed Podcasting + Publishing a book, tend to live on that same Bucket Li...

I was literally just recording another episode when I walked away, turned off the lights here in the studio and thought to myself": “I'm just so glad I have a recording space already set up.” I was thinking if I had to set the mic up and set up the lights and move everything around- I wouldn’t have taken the time to record. I would let the thoughts or ideas float away or live in Voxer with my frie...

My friend Kathy recently came to the studio for a girls weekend. As I've been integrating our conversation (and the kick in the butt that I needed to drop old patterns and blocks) the words: heavy lift versus light lift kept replaying in my head. I was telling Kathy about the million ideas swirling through my brain on how we can use the studio and how we can support people. And as exciting as it i...

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit tuningin.substack.com I can't believe it's already been one month since I decided to go all in on Substack?! That means it’s recap time and I'm really excited to share my findings with you. One of the main reasons that I moved over to Substack was because I felt a way about Instagram. I felt like there was so much noise, I felt pressure...

My friend Allison Hardy recently interviewed, copywriter and repurposing Queen, Kendall Cherry. Their episode: Running an Online Business- in Offline Mode sent me in a (good) tizzy and inspired deeper conversation in both: Maybe I Don’t Want to Run an Empire and If You Don’t Want to Churn Out Content for Consistency’s Sake. Here’s a continuation of this content creation series. Connect with Kendal...

They say consistency is key, right? That by showing up consistently, your people know when to expect you and you always stay top of mind. But as a creator it makes me feel like I need to push and show up regardless if I have something to share or not- otherwise I’ll be “forgotten” or I “miss out” (in theory.) I've been thinking about this a lot, and that doesn't feel like reality anymore. Yes, at...

Podcasting has given me so much over these last 2.5 years. I mean, it's the whole reason we have a studio now. It's the reason we support clients with launching and producing podcasts and why we encourage them to (if you have something to say) get behind the mic and share it. My original why has certainly served me up until now but I’ve noticed a shift in myself lately. I've really been reworking...

Maybe I don't want to run an empire. This is interesting phrase came out when I was journaling the other day. I've been telling some friends about it, and it's really been resonating and bringing out different things in people. I'm honestly shocked that it's something I wrote down, so it's a conversation I wanted to bring to you because maybe it'll help you tune in to yourself better too. Here goe...

This morning, I miraculously had a second to sit down and eat my breakfast while the kids were quietly playing. (Who am I right??) As a fellow mompreneur you know how it is… The day hasn’t even started yet and a million thoughts are swimming through my head. So instead of drowning in them- I thought, I'm just going to pull out my notebook and write them all down. Here’s what came out- Maybe these...
