Grow and Tell

As many folks are staying home a lot more these days, I wanted to do an episode on the importance of creating a space you love. I sit down with DIY Queen, Jena Roach and chat about how home projects can spark your inner creative. It wasn't until COVID hit that i realized just how much my home environment impacted how I felt about my day or my general mood. Just tweaking a few things can really make you feel better about your space. This episode isn't about the perfect design for your home or design principles, it's about taking risks and finding what works for YOU. Jena is the perfect person to inspire you to throw away any inhibitions you have about tackling a DIY project and just going for it. Take the time to test things out, to design, play and find what speaks to you and makes YOUR heart sing. I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did!

After an insane year, it just felt right to stop and think about all the lessons I have learned from 2020. I wanted to look around and count my blessings and remember that everything happens for a reason. I took control of my health this year, I connected with friends and family on a deeper level, I started this podcast and I reprioritized the things that are important to me and my life. What blessings have you seen this year? What have you learned? We can't control what happens in life, but we can always control how we respond to it. Happy New Year my friends, I hope that 2021 brings you closer to your dreams. Stay safe and healthy!

You've heard of goals and goal setting but how do you learn how to reach those goals? Do you break them down into yearly goals? Monthly goals? How do you know how to motivate yourself? I sit down with Lupe Prado, a business and life coach who walks us through tools and the deeper meaning behind setting goals. She shares that a lot of the time it isn't the goal itself that we're after, and more so the person we become when we achieve that goal. If you're looking to create some goals for yourself and need structure and tips, this episode is for you!

Do you feel overwhelmed by your social media feed? Do you hate seeing political posts or feel 'less than' every time you see an influencer? I sit down with my old co-worker and good friend, Raegan Loftis and we chat about curating a positive social media experience. Having both worked in the social media marketing field - we are on social media 8+ hours a day. We have seen the good, the bad and want social media to be FUN again for you. We chat about "Cancel Culture", the struggles that this generation faces from growing up online and how we can make social media SOCIAL again. If you've ever said anything or done anything online that you're not proud of, take full responsibility, make whatever it is you've done right ..but then move on. This podcast is about personal GROWTH, so let's do that together!

Why do I snack so much? What foods can I eat to curb cravings?

This episode is a quick rundown of FOUR tried and true ways that have helped me or my husband sleep over the last few years. If you're like us, every now and then when stress creeps up and we can experience anxiety - our sleep is the first thing to fall apart. Lack of sleep can contribute to weight gain, loss in libido, heightened irritability (just ask my husband!) and so much more. We have tried a lot of things over the years and these are the only four that almost always work for us. Hope these help and please share if you have other ways that have helped you as well. :) ESTELLE MAE/GROW & TELL INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/estellemae_/?hl=en ** If you enjoyed this episode, it would mean the world to me if you ranked & reviewed Grow & Tell on Apple Podcasts (if that is the platform you listen on!)

Are you exhausted when you get home and don't feel like you have the energy to have sex with your partner? Do you want to add porn to your relationship or maybe it is causing conflict in your relationship? Feeling like you're in a lull and want to figure out a way to ignite the spark?

OK, so you've heard about yoga but what are the benefits? What are the emotional benefits? Physical benefits? How does it help you get in touch with yourself?

May 26 2020 is my one year wedding anniversary! It felt like the perfect time to reflect on how much personal growth had to happen in order for me to be ready to accept the right man into my life. This is not an episode that tells you a step by step process to find the right guy (I don't think that exists!) - this is just my story and how it unfolded. I had to deal with some serious daddy issues, needed help from my fairy god mother and had to learn to love myself enough to accept the right man into my life. If you've ever been in a relationship that isn't serving you, or you keep dating the same kind of people over and over again.... you might be able to relate to my story. I believe we all deserve to be loved the way we want to be loved and sometimes it takes a little bit of tough self love to open that door.

Ever feel like you're too old, too fat, too weak - too whatever to start taking care of your health? Listen to this episode, I promise it will inspire you. I sit down with Joan MacDonald, who turned her health around at age 70! I am absolutely blown away by this woman. She shares what she eats, the kind of workouts she does - but more importantly she shares how GOOD she feels. How she doesn't have to hide behind her clothes anymore, how she feels good about herself, how being fit at any age brings so many more benefits than we could ever imagine. No matter where you are in your journey, let Joan's story inspire you to start. Start with a walk, a glass of water - whatever is a step in the right direction for YOU. Do what makes YOU feel good. I hope that her story inspires you to live a long and healthy life.

I think that society has groomed us to believe that once we "grow up" we need to live a certain way. Whether that is holding down a regular 9-5 or buying a home, we're taught that adventure is something we should 'get out of the way' when we're younger. I wanted to interview Tara Wear because she met a guy online by answering an ad, flew to Florida to meet him and sailed the Mediterranean with him for the next two years! Now, that is not what i'm saying we should all do - but what adventures have you put off that you've been dreaming about? It's never too late to travel the world, to learn that new skill, to follow whatever your heart has been whispering to you. Tara has traveled to 35+ countries living from a backpack, in a camper-van and, most recently, traveling via a sailboat. In this episode, we chat about what it's like to live in a van as a solo female and the mishaps and adventures that happened along the way while sailing from Barcelona to Athens. I hope that she inspires you to follow your heart as much as she inspires me to follow mine!

Have you heard of meditation before but you aren't sure what the benefits are? Or maybe you've tried it and would love to learn more about it? I jump on a call with Emma Maidment and chat about mindfulness, how meditation can help with stress and how it can help you become more aware of your thoughts and feelings. If you're experiencing stress or anxiety in your life, I promise that you will leave this episode feeling hopeful that meditation can help you with some of that. We can't control what happens to us in life, but we can control how we respond to it. I also ask Emma to lead a short meditation session, so jump over to 26:34 if you want to hear a sample and give it a go!

In this episode, I sit down with Christine LaPorte from PDX Career Coach and ask her all the career questions you've been wondering about. Should you let someone know you've been fired before?
