Marie Sonneman joins us in this episode to share about how to gain confidence and find your inner badass. Marie hosts the Ordinary to Badass podcast, and helps women gain confidence in their life and with their money. Here are Marie's 5 steps to gaining confidence: 1. Clean out the cobwebs. We can’t move forward without dealing with the past and the things that have caused inner blocks for us. 2. Do hard things. Taking on a challenge in one area of your life will help you build confidence in other areas of your life. 3. Embrace failure. We can reframe so-called failure if we can just learn from it and pivot! 4. Limit social media. The comparison game is strong on social media-- compare and despair! 5. Don’t believe every thought that you think. Try “that’s not true because___.” Listen to the Ordinary to Badass podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/ordinary-to-badass/id1479878786 Connect with on Instagram: www.instagram.com/ordinarytobadass Connect on Facebook: www.facebook.com/Ordinary-to-Badass-996077157246398 Visit the Ordinary to Badass website: https://ordinarytobadass.com --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/craftswithanedge/message

Have you ever wanted to comfort a grieving person, but didn't know what to say? So you awkwardly said something empty like "look on the bright side?"

She shares a few pointers on how to best hold space for others who are grieving, and how to advocate for your needs if you're dealing with toxic positivity in your own grieving journey.

What are you saying yes to? How is even your "no" really a "yes?" In this episode, I talk about my most recent work of art which says "yes!" with confetti and sunshine exploding out of it. I also talk about saying "yes, and" in life, and about the things I've said "yes" to this year (including uprooting our lives and living the dream traveling around the country while working remotely!) I'm also saying "yes" to workshops coming soon! If you've been asking to learn paper quilling from me, now is your chance!

In this episode, we discuss toxic positivity. When positivity is forced upon us and is out of balance, we're prevented from living our full experience and healing from painful experiences. At its worst, it can be a form of gaslighting. We talk more about what toxic positivity is, why it shows up in our culture, and how to practice deepening our tolerance for unpleasant emotions. Ultimately, the work is about getting to the most whole, badass version of yourself by recognizing how to welcome and release all feelings and experiences. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/craftswithanedge/message
