    MINISODE | How to Conserve Energy and Consume Less

    This week I chatted with Sean Sublette who is a meteorologist and I loved his simple advice on how we can all make a big impact on our environment by making small changes in our daily lives. When it comes to making a difference with the effects on our environment, it can seem like a huge daunting task and that there's no way minor changes can't help but that's so not the case! Every little bit adds up and it can add up to massive change. While I do feel like I'm already doing a lot to help conserve energy (we have a smart thermostat, energy efficient appliances, use LED lights) there's always more I can do so I want this week's challenge to be all about conserving more energy and reducing my consumption!   Full show notes at: http://dayinthelifepodcast.com/minisode30 Like the show?

    This week I chatted with Sandy and Jeni from Namastream and our conversation got me thinking about how people approach things they feel like they "can't" do. It was eye-opening to me that neither Sandy nor Jeni had a software engineering background, yet here they are, creating an incredible software company. Like, have you told yourself your entire life that you "can't" do something for one reason or another? I know I have. I've told myself "I'm not athletic" "I can't draw" "I'm not smart enough/experienced enough to do XYZ" While I'm certainly not going to be the next Michael Jordan or Picasso, I can, in fact do some of these things, I just don't try because I won't be the best or the expert at it. Of course, this is perfectionism peeping it's ugly head into my subconscious again and I'm sure many of you may feel the same. It's uncomfortable to do new things but to quote marketing expert Seth Godin, "fear is a compass, not a barrier. It becomes a way to know what to do next, not an evil demon to be extinguished."Tune into this episode to find what you can do to start doing that one thing you feel like you "can't" do, but have always wanted to.   Full show notes at: http://dayinthelifepodcast.com/minisode28     Like the show?

    Today's minisode we're talking about other people's perceptions and if you care too much. This week's interview with exotic dancer Demiana may have been a polarizing one for you guys, but I wanted to continue the conversation by talking about other people's perceptions of you and if you care too much. Here's the thing: we all to some degree, for the most part, compare ourselves to other people. It's a natural, human thing to do. It's also natural to care about what other people think about you. It's not necessarily a bad thing, to some degree it helps you be self-aware which I think is an important quality in people. But for a lot of us, we can care way too much about what other people think about us. And during my interview with Demiana and her sharing about what her friends and family thought about her career it got me thinking more on this topic. I for one am guilty of caring way too much what other's think about me. I'm a people pleaser through and through and have struggled with this my entire life. Tune in to learn how to know if other people's perceptions are affecting your life too much and what to do about it. Full show notes at: http://dayinthelifepodcast.com/minisode26 Like the show?

Grateful for your support!   Hello, hello and we are back from our winter break with the first minisode of 2019 and we are starting with a bang by talking about vulnerability. We've touched a little on this in a past minisode about setting fear aside but I want to talk more specifically about vulnerability as that was a topic we discussed thoroughly during this week's interview with Alexis Teichmiller. Being vulnerable is hard for me, like it is for almost anyone else. The reasons why it's hard for me is because I don't like being seen as weak or like I can't do something or that I don't know what I'm doing. I think most people have those fears or similar fears so even though I know I'm not alone in those feelings...being vulnerable is still hard. Nobody likes the feeling of rejection. Nobody likes the feeling of loneliness.But it's interesting, because when people are most vulnerable, we celebrate their strength. We love seeing others be so raw, honest and open but it's still difficult for us to be comfortable with sharing our own vulnerabilities. Tune in to find out the two ways I'm being more vulnerable in 2019, tips for how you can too, and my challenge on being more vulnerable.   Full show notes at: http://brittneyllynn.com/minisode21 Links mentioned: Setting fear aside minisode Brene Brown’s TED Talk on vulnerability Daring Greatly by Brene Brown Day in the Life Facebook group Like the show?

I only share products and resources that I trust and that I know will help you in your business. Grateful for your support!   Hello hello and welcome back to the Day in the Life podcast! Happy 2019 everyone!   I can't believe we are already halfway through the first month of 2019, so crazy! Anyways, before we get to today's episode, I wanted to share a few housekeeping updates before diving in. As most of you know, this podcast is a passion project of mine and not a primary way I make income. I was feeling really burnt out from all of the work I had taken on and taking a break was really good for me.   So, with that, we’ll be making some changes around here!   1) We're going to try something new for the podcast this year...we'll be doing seasons!Our "second" season will run January 15-April 2 and we will take a 6-week break in between before the third season starts. I have some fun plans for the mini-breaks though so you aren't left with no new content :)2) Minisodes will still be happening on Fridays and I'm hoping to make them more action & value-packed. I want us all to be challenged on how we can improve our days, whether it's physically, mentally, emotionally, spiritually, etc and I want to use these minisodes to motivate and challenge you (and me!) 3) I've decided to launch a YouTube account! I've talked about this with countless people, some even in this group, and I'm committing to making it happen this year.My biggest hesitation around starting a YouTube account for the Day in the Life has been my fear of putting it all out there.Ya see, if I'm sharing what my daily life is like, I have to share the good AND the bad AND the ugly. And that intimidates me but I'm willing myself to push past that and show up...no matter what.I haven't decided an exact date of launch yet but it's coming...and I'm putting it here so you guys can keep me accountable.SO! Now that that's out of the way... let's get to today's episode!   Today's interview is with Alexis Teichmiller who is the ConvertKit Affiliate Manager. (Don't worry, if you don't know what an affiliate manager is Alexis shares exactly what that is!) Most interestingly though, I wanted to bring on Alexis because she has made it a point to share vulnerable things about your life, your relationships, your struggles, anxiety, etc on social media.   She shares why this is important to her, how other people can start to feel more comfortable with sharing their vulnerabilities, what "image management" is, as well as what it's like to work for a completely remote company, and how she prioritizes her side hustle passions alongside a full-time job. Guys, I compared her to Brene Brown during the episode because she is just THAT GOOD. Excited for you to tune in and hope you enjoy!   In today’s episode, you'll find out:   How Alexis got started working for ConvertKit. Why it's important to Alexis to share not only the great parts of her life but also the vulnerable parts of her life, her relationships, and anxiety. What image management is and why we need to let it go. Her tips on how other people start to feel more comfortable with sharing their vulnerabilities. The best part about working at ConverKit and her experience working for a completely remote company. How she prioritizes her side hustle passions and a full time job plus advice she would give others who want to do the same. Her biggest struggles and misconceptions about her career. Her 3 non-negotiable travel items she can't live without.

Enjoy!   --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------   On today's show, I have Colt Keo-Meier who is a Clinical Psychologist and Transgender Activist located in Galveston, Texas.   I asked Colt to come on to not only discuss what it's like to be a Clinical Psychologist but also as someone who is transgender and an activist.   My whole purpose behind starting this podcast is to show that even though our day-to-day tasks may all look vastly different, there are similarities we all have. We all have struggles. We all have fears. We all have insecurities. We all just want to be accepted in the world and be who we truly are.   Colt is very open and honest about his experience coming out to his family and the challenges he faced growing up in a small, south Texas town. He also shares misconceptions people have about transgender men and women as well as advice for people who want to talk more openly with their transgender friends and family members but aren't sure how to start.   This episode came out in April 2018 and my hope is that it is a resource for those wanting to learn more about what life is like for someone who is transgender. If this topic is new and/or uncomfortable to you, my hope is that you will listen with an open mind.   If you want to discuss this further, please join the Day in the Life Facebook group.   I also want to link to a suicide crisis hotline that is specific for transgender people. Please contact them if you are considering suicide. Trans Lifeline volunteers are ready to respond to whatever support needs members of our community might have: https://www.translifeline.org/ Phone Number: US: (877) 565-8860 CANADA: (877) 330-6366   Full show notes at: http://brittneyllynn.com/029 In today's episode, you'll find out:   The differences between a psychologist and a psychiatrist.

    Today's minisode we're talking about the importance of investing in yourself.I think many of us fail to realize the value in investing in ourselves. Sometimes we use the excuse that we can't afford it, other times we use the excuse that we don't have time. But honestly, one of the absolute best things you can do for your well being AND for your wallet is to invest in yourself in some sort of way. I really think the reason why some of us don't "invest" in ourselves is that we fear we won't be perfect at whatever it is that we're trying to do, so we'd rather not try at all. I get it, as a fellow perfectionist that's constantly working on that, I totally understand. BUT sometimes we just need to do something different and out of our comfort zones to truly better ourselves. Now when I say "invest in yourself" I don't necessarily mean only monetary ways, like professional development/workshops/educational purposes...though those are awesome! I also mean investing in things like your health, hobbies, relationships, etc. Tune in to the episode to find out the 5 ways you can start investing in yourself today!   Full show notes at: http://brittneyllynn.com/minisode13 Links mentioned:   SSR Podcast My interview on the SSR podcast Day in the Life of Alli Hoff Kosik, Freelance Writer Sign up for the Day in the Life newsletter   Like the show?

Of course we all have bad days, but I like to try and focus on the positive even when your day is subpar.   This compilation features a variety of past Day in the Life guests and what their best parts of their days are.   I hope you enjoy!   Full show notes at: http://brittneyllynn.com/best-part-of-peoples-days   Links mentioned:   Day in the Life of Jacqueline Sutherland, Counterterrorism Expert Day in the Life of Elle Drouin, Styled Stock Photographer   Day in the Life of Andrew Crockford, Former U.S. Air Force Captain   Day in the Life of Lauren Frontiera, Founder of The Real Female Entrepreneur   Day in the Life of Lisa & Peter Hoppe, Full-time World Travelers   Day in the Life of DJ Martin, Broadway Advertiser Day in the Life of James Hinkle, Middle School Spanish Teacher   Day in the Life of Jyo Carolino, Fight Choreographer   Like the show?

    On today's show, I have Haiyun Damon-Feng who is a Staff Attorney at KIND, which stands for Kids in Need of Defense.   Haiyun and I attended college together and lived in the same house and she had recently traveled to the Texas/Mexico border with KIND to speak with parents who had been detained and taken away from their children.   Haiyun shared her experience on her Facebook profile and this prompted me to ask her to come onto the podcast to share what a day in her life is like, what KIND does, what people misconstrue about refugee families, how she handles a career that is very emotionally and mentally taxing, what she struggles with the most and so much more.   At times this episode is gut wrenching but I think it's an important topic to discuss publicly, especially for those of us living in the States.   If you want to talk about this topic more with other listeners, I'd love to have you in the Day in the Life Facebook group.   Full show notes at: http://brittneyllynn.com/045 In today's episode, you'll find out:   How KIND helps unaccompanied children coming into the United States. What her experience was like recently visiting the border and speaking with parents who have been separated from their children. What people misconstrue about the refugee families and the children KIND helps. How she handles a career that is very emotionally taxing. The one thing she struggles with most in her career. Ways people can help refugee parents and children in need right now and how you can continuously help.   Links mentioned:   KIND Day in the Life of a Speechwriter   Follow Haiyun:   LinkedIn Instagram Like the show?

    Today's mini-sode we're talking about budgeting! I was not always a budgeter, that's for sure. In fact, I really didn't start budgeting until about 6 years ago, when I was 24 years old.   There are plenty of ways to budget: some people prefer using apps, others prefer using a specific spreadsheet.   One thing that I've learned as an adult is that it's extremely important to plan ahead and budget. Budgeting is what allowed me to start my own business and get ahead at life.   In this episode, I share why budgeting is important and more importantly, how to get started!   Enjoy!   Full show notes at: how-i-budget   Links mentioned:   You Need a Budget Mint Every Dollar   Like the show?
