⁣What do you think is actually required of you to transform your life? Are some of our weaknesses, struggles, secrets, and misfortunes predetermined kisses of death to living the life that we dream of? Is it the small changes we make that set our lives on different paths, both good and bad? Is it the bigger, life-changing moments that set our lives on different paths? What does it feel like when life is passing you by? What does it feel like to take control? To be in control? To actually create the life you want, as if painting on canvas?⠀ Scout Sobel is such an inspiration and this is a complete, open, and raw conversation about all that goes into personal transformation, how quickly things can change in just a few years, but also the work and the mindset shifts that go into it. This conversation is about going through loss, losing touch with yourself, facing uncertainty about your future—and still making the decision to have hope and the places that hope will take you. For anyone who feels overwhelmed about where to start when it comes to bringing your life back into your own hands, this is for you.⠀ What we talk about:⠀ ⁣— Starting Scout's Agency and turning it into a six-figure business in its first year + how she did it, what the first steps were + how she had the confidence and strategy to reach out to clients with little prior experience in running a PR business⠀   ⁣— How she was able to turn her life around by regaining control one day at a time, one decision at a time⠀   — Her bipolar disorder diagnosis, taking a pause in school and learning to live with her mental health struggles⠀   — What the experience has taught her and how she is able to share it with others in an impactful way through her podcast and personal messaging, inspiring others to take control of their lives as well whether it be with mental health or the career decisions they make for themselves⠀   — Scout Podcast, the intersection of mental health and entrepreneurship⠀   — Faith, spirituality, prayer ⠀   — My sign during meditation to reach out to Scout One-on-one consultations for podcasters: readytolaunchpodcasts.com

Listen to this if everywhere you look online you see countless clones of your work and aesthetic and you begin to wonder if you're nothing but a cheesy stereotype of a person and there's no point in pursuing your side hustle/passion project because a million people are already doing it and it doesn't even look good or impressive when they're doing it so you start to devalue your own contribution and forget the very reason you were inspired to get started in the first place. I am so happy to share this powerful solo episode with you guys, truly. Anyone that has ever felt like they need to hide away or neglect a certain side of their personality in order to find success online or with their personal brands can finally take a deep breath and forget that nonsense. Anyone that feels like they have to limit themselves and their message to a particular branding strategy/niche needs to hear this. This is a must-listen if you are having trouble differentiating yourself, your work, your podcast, your art, etc. WHILE ALSO feeling trapped by the expectations that people have of your brand. Everyone knows that individuality is important and praised, but few have actually taken the time to cultivate their own sense of it. Some points:  1. Do you care if people see you as an artist? Or do you care about creating art? Do you care about people seeing you as spiritual? Or do you care about experiencing spirituality? 2. Forget the title and the labels. Forget becoming anything. Focus on your purpose, your values and the impact you want to have. The labels might come, but it won't matter. 3. We get into the work that is necessary to uncover and identify what your unique voice is — it's actually not just about finding a niche and sticking to it. 4. Integrating all aspects of your personality, your experiences, and your interests into the most powerful brand that only you have the power to make work 5. Forget the archetypes. Forget the stereotypes. Have you ever wondered why some people that are a little bit similar to you/your work online make you cringe? Do they represent the sides of you that you are neglecting? Or putting on? 6. Neuroscience and psychology of a purpose-driven life and its impact on depression, anxiety, and loneliness Ready to Launch Podcast Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/readytolaunchpodcast/ Reach out at: readytolaunchpodcasts.com

The average podcast consumer listens to an average of 4 or 5 shows per week.

We speak with Rob Moore, the host of the Disruptive Entrepreneur Podcast about how he successfully creates an engaged community around his podcast and his businesses and how you can implement the same strategies for the growth of your own show.

It is possible that we can walk away from this global health crisis with something positive to hold onto—we might remind ourselves of the good that could come out of using the internet as a tool to find common ground with one another rather than a means of competition and cancel culture. We might champion going online to see how everyone else is doing above going online to post about how we want people to think we are doing. A chat about how might be able to contribute to society in a positive way throughout self-isolation and the COVID-19 pandemic. Whether you shine as the comedian, have come a long way with your anxiety, find yourself to be extremely ordinary, are a billionaire or a struggling college student, the world can benefit right now from the place you are coming from. Participating in and supporting the spread of less filtered communication seems to be the greatest positive force circulating through the internet in these trying times; a breath of fresh air following a long season of incredibly filtered content put out methodically and fearfully by the masses. In the current climate, it is a great idea to perpetuate this oneness that the internet is experiencing by finally starting that project you have been eyeing over the past few years. Whether that means launching that podcast, writing that book, creating those videos, paintings—whatever—do it. And then share it. Do it in a way that prioritizes connection without fear of abandonment or judgment. Do it in a way that throws “personal branding” out the window and instead speaks to whatever it is that has been calling you to start that project in the first place. Leverage what makes you, you, and share it with the world. My hope is that this type of engagement, honesty, and creative freedom will carry on to make our post-apocalyptic digital age more receptive to these types of attitudes than ever before. Good luck with your social distancing folks, stay safe.

How to Balance Your Masculine and Feminine Energy & Why You Want To| With Vienda Maria In this episode of the Ready to Launch Podcast with Vienda Maria, female empowerment mentor and holistic living teacher, we get into her INCREDIBLE story (with lots of twists and turns) of how she got to where she is today. Vienda is a thought leader in the field of personal and spiritual growth and has created many top-selling modern/holistic lifestyle guides and courses for women looking to expand and become their most authentic selves. We get into what it means to be more in your masculine or more in your feminine and what an imbalance between the two might show up as in either case. We get into how an imbalance in your masculine or your feminine energies might affect your relationships and the type of people you are attracting into your life. Additionally, we get into the importance of living for the non-instagrammable moments, how years spent in the underground music festival industry helped to shape her opinion surrounding both the benefits and downsides of psychedelic drug use and what we both believe their place in the worlds of spirituality and mental health is today. Additionally, we get into the inner work she does with her clients and the reason why life demands that you do the inner work before your external circumstances are ready to change. AND SO MUCH MORE!

We get into it all. Social media, scaling, hiring, getting the word out, making back initial costs through revenue... It is simultaneously the most impressive, yet relatable story I've heard in a while. Carly has an amazing way of making HUGE accomplishments sound like a walk in a park, truly a gift. I am so thrilled because of that to be able to share this episode with you guys for the first of the year. We also get into what our intentions are for 2020, everything from spirituality to our relationships and handling feedback and other people's opinions.

Natalie Barbu of the Real Reel Podcast | Quitting Her Job And Starting Her Own Consulting Business in Her Early 20s  -- After graduating university with a degree in industrial engineering, Natalie Barbu landed a job at Accenture, a top tier consulting firm. Despite it being a coveted position, she quit within the first year to go full-time on Youtube — a decision she does not regret in the slightest. Natalie was able to earn more money on the platform than she was earning at Accenture, be the boss of her own time and best of all, enjoy the creative freedom that she most values. It wasn’t long after going full-time on Youtube that she started her own LLC, Natalie Barbu Consulting. In this episode, we get into the story behind these major life transitions, the logistics of growing on social platforms such as Instagram and Youtube, the reality of being your own boss and growing your own business and of course, how we can apply Natalie’s knowledge to our own personal and professional choices. -- Some points we hit: -- 1. How did Natalie know when it was time to quit her job at Accenture to pursue Youtube full time? How much of a security net should you have before you freelance? 2. What goes into starting your own business in your twenties? What kind of person is the lifestyle cut out for? 3. How do you know if you should work for yourself over finding employment in a corporate environment? 4. What did growth look like for Natalie on Youtube? What do people need to know that are trying to grow their own channels? Is it too saturated to grow on Youtube in 2020? -- MY INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/zoekenealy/ NATALIE'S INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/nataliebarbu/?hl=en NATALIE'S PODCAST: https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-real-reel-podcast/id1456261473

How To Stop Dieting And Start Living (And Feel Good About It!) | The Science and Psychology of Intuitive Eating | Kirsten Ackerman, RD In this episode with Kirsten Ackerman, MS, RD, we get into what it means to be an intuitive eater. How do we know if we can trust our intuition when it comes to choosing what we eat? Will there be a period of weight gain when you first start to intuitively eat because of an initial "indulgence" period? What is the science behind why intuitive eating works and how does deprivation work against us on a psychological level? How do you become an intuitive eater if you have years of negative food patterns? Why does Kirsten's training as a dietician lead her to believe there is no such thing as a "good" or "bad" food? Are there health benefits to trusting your gut when it comes to choosing what to eat? How might someone leave years of negative body image or diet culture behind when entering into the practice of intuitive eating?

How To Develop Your Intuition As A Woman + All About Magnetism | Intuitive Eating, Living & Business Coach Pandora Paloma   In this episode with Pandora Paloma, author of Intuitive Living and 360 coach (Intuitive Eating, Living and Business), we get into what it means to let your intuition guide the way for your life and decision making. What does the process look like of getting to a place where your gut feeling actually knows what is right for you and how do we get our executive decision making to cooperate with it? First, you have to clear the path of negative programming, but what happens after that? How do you know when you're ready to trust your gut? Also, now that 2020 is just around the corner, we get into the mindset that Paloma wants all her girls going into the new year with. What is the difference between goal setting and intention setting and why is this distinction important for our success? I also get into why I am going to start working toward a less black and white conversation surrounding personal development for the sake of acknowledging mental health struggles that a lot of people deal with. So excited about this episode because we finally get into the WHY behind the concepts we are talking about. E.g., yes it's great to be "magnetic" but what does that actually even mean and on what basis?

How To Start A Successful Youtube Channel (How Coco Lili Quickly Grew To 550,000 Subscribers)| COCO LILI I spoke with Coco Lili, Youtuber and entrepreneur on how she grew her youtube channel to more than 550,000 subscribers in fewer than five years! Perfect timing since she will be launching her course soon on how to launch and grow your youtube channel in present day. Offline, I had a talk with Coco about why she left the new age. I went into the interview asking about how her spirituality has guided her throughout her career, and to get her take on the usual new age rhetoric—manifestation, zodiac, twin flames, etc. However, she told me that she recently completely stopped partaking in all of these practices as she is now a believer in God and doesn't feel that participating in a lot of the common new age practices is fulfilling. "It's like a drug" she said. "It feels good to accomplish something but then it always leaves you wanting more." If you guys want to hear this part of the episode, just let me know and I will post! I have a pretty long intro regarding my take on all of this. I really appreciate the place that Coco is coming from and I too feel very sobered regarding a lot of the commonly held beliefs in the world of self-development. I talk about how spirituality reflects an external locus of control over and internal one and how this is more commonly linked with depression and anxiety. Also updates on my time in London!

We also get into what she sees hold her girls back the most, what mindsets are toxic for expansion and what daily habits get in the way of both enjoying the growth process and being able to see tangible success short-term and longterm. We also get into whether or not it is good to pay attention to other people in the same type of field as you, should we compare ourselves and our work ethic to gauge how hard we are working? We also get into whether or not a little bit of guilt is good in the stages of trying to grow a business. Does it help to propel your forward or is this just a toxic mindset? I also share the eye-opening dream I had the other night, that was a huge indicator that I a mindset shift is necessary if I am ever going to be able to fully appreciate where I am in the moment. Btw, I have been finding that it's the times that I am fully immersed in the moment and grateful for exactly where I am that I see 11:11 a lot... Just saying.

How To Have A Growth Mindset In Your Twenties (And Why It Is SO Important) The “lost” decade of your twenties to your thirties. How come the narrative always seems to be that one day we will all wake up, we will be in our thirties, and half of us will have hair while the other half will have families and, like, really steady careers? Where and when does it all even happen? And how can I ensure that I 1) am in the 50% that keeps my hair and 2) won’t want to set fire to my entire office every time Frank comes around to ask me if I want to take advantage of the half-priced corndogs in the cafeteria since it’s Friday? The 4 Vital Steps to Reinforcing a Growth Mindset in Your Twenties , in other words how to be a girlboss in your every day life. The importance of having a morning routine and how to implement an effective one so that you can abide by these 4 success habits on a consistent basis.

Kinda Dating's Natasha Chandel on the Ready to Launch Podcast to talk about all things respect in relationships! Points hit: — signs that your relationships might be lacking in respect — ways to communicate self-worth and standards  — dating during me too movement — disrespect in job interviews — the loudest person in the room does not always indicate the most confident person in the room

How To Start A Podcast (And Why You Should in 2020!) | Forbes Podcasts Founder Molly Beck Molly Beck, founder and CEO of Messy.fm and the creator of the Forbes podcast, is on Ready to Launch to talk about how you could get started with podcasting! Who is right for podcasting, what is the quickest way to grow your podcast, how do you find your voice in podcasting, what type of people should you interview for your podcast? We also go into the future of podcasting, how quickly will the popularity of having your own podcast rise? As she says, it is the 2008 of youtube for podcasting, it’s the perfect time to get into it. She also gives details on how her podcasting platform messy.fm can help you easily create, post and improve your new or existing podcast.

In this episode with Julie Krafchick and Yue Xu of the Dateable podcast, we compare dating as a millennial vs. as a Gen Z. We go into why or why not Gen Z is having less sex than millennials (the girls from Dateable say it might be all the STDs that millennials are throwing around)—interesting. We go into how dating apps went from taboo to apart of normal dating culture, and whether tinder, bumble, hinge, etc. are actually making getting into a relationship more or less accessible. There also comes the question: Do men judge women who are having sex with them on the first date and should they? Is Gen Z getting into long-distance relationships more than anyone else before? What are the biggest lessons in dating that the millennials had to teach up-and-coming Gen Z and will they listen or will they create their own rules?

As I sit here, writing and recording my single-hood into the books, I ask myself if I truly even want to experience what a good date is like. I have heard of some accounts, but not from anyone I consider close. We are all out here, suffering, postmating, scoffing at the memories of all the could-have-beens. If reality is actually just your own perception of what lies in front of you, then I guess I should do some spring cleaning on my mind. If that's just a bunch of crap, and my own accounts of all these first dates are accurate, then I guess I should just stop going on first dates. But then I would not have any excuse to yell into a microphone before adding sound effects to my own miseries on GarageBand. So, with that being said, here is to the first of many—A Chronicle of First (Dates). Hint: Don't go Dutch on a first date. 

I am still out of a place to live in London and I am moving there in a few weeks! V happy about that. This isn't to say that I did not come very close to signing a place, though. But then I forgot to remember that people you meet on Facebook shouldn't be trusted right? I'll try Craigslist.  Anyway, you all know that I am a huge Dave Asprey fan who is the king and founding father of biohacking. I was looking into "unfair advantage" the other day and decided not to buy it, but I did decide to bring an expert on the show to talk to us about other nootropics. Nootropics are what people might be referring to when they say "performance enhancing drug." Personally, other than caffeine and the occasional l-theanine, I can't say I take any of these. Regardless, thought this would be an interesting learning experience. As always, consult your doc first.

In this episode I have on Dr. Amy Arnsten from Yale School of Medicine to talk about how stress is impacting our brains—particularly the prefrontal cortex. The prefrontal cortex is responsible for higher brain function—planning, rationality, decision-making, etc. Stress actually has both an immediate and long-term effect to brain function depending on exposure. This alone can exacerbate symptoms of mental illness. Plus, her lab discovered a drug that aids in prefrontal cortical function (by the end of this episode that will mean something to you). Also, I have a PSA in the beginning of the show to anyone who thinks they want to call dibs on their preferred gender on a night out.    Dr. Amy Arnsten shares more information regarding our conversation today here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v_mqP7P-azU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7BUNI1UHs8E    

Dr. Jerrold Rosenbaum is the Chief of Psychiatry at Massachusetts General Hospital, a Professor of Psychiatry at Harvard and is recognized as one of the leading authorities in mood and anxiety disorders. He is the chair of the board of the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention and as a part of mental health awareness month I am honored to have him on the show. We talk about antidepressants vs. placebo, the difference between SSRIs, SNRIs and NDRIs, Ketamine as an option for treatment-resistant depression, the role of exercise, inflammation and the gut microbiome in depression/anxiety and what makes him optimistic about the future of psychiatry. This episode is packed with information and Dr. Rosenbaum does a phenomenal job at clarifying some of the misinformation and contradictory information on the internet regarding psychiatry through his expertise from 45 years of being a leader in the field.

On this episode of Ready to Launch, we have on Mark Rosenfeld, Australia’s leading dating expert. He coaches women on dating both through his one-on-one sessions and through his Youtube channel which reaches millions of people. We talk about some of my nasty dating habits, what NOT to do on dating apps, what to look for in a partner, why some women are attracted to toxic flaky partners, and how to change these toxic dating mindsets. We also talk about dating a narcissist… Something that everyone has gone through. This was a great episode because Mark had so much to offer the Ready to Launch family in terms of self development in the realm of dating. He really looks at the world of dating holistically—no games, just another aspect of life that will flourish if you’re prioritizing yourself and your own happiness.

In this episode of the Ready to Launch Podcast with Amber and Graham of CLAVVS, we go deep into the topic of imposter syndrome. Specifically, how it might manifest more so in women and how it shows up in the music industry where success is not as clearly defined with promotions and salaries. What perpetuates the problem of feeling like an imposter in the work you do no matter the accolades your receive?  MY INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/zoekenealy/ MY YOUTUBE: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC-MGaDn7FaFJ34esbKKfslA?view_as=subscriber

This episode of Ready to Launch, I spoke with Richie Quake. Singer, songwriter, DJ, producer, based out of Brooklyn, New York. We talked a lot on the topic of authenticity. When you fail at something, is it because you were not being authentic? Is it inauthentic to let others’ opinions sway the direction you take your work? What is the balance between marketing yourself to the masses, but staying authentic to yourself? How do you move on from publicly trying something out and failing? Should the road to finding your niche most ideally be linear? Richie tried out several genres of music before finally arriving at what felt most authentic to him. He shares his story about feeling pressured to make music that the masses liked even though it wasn’t true to him. He shares how he finally arrived at a place with his work where the most important opinion was his own. Loved this episode, it’s one that everyone needs to hear. X

On the show with have 20-year-old photographer and entrepreneur, Jacob Mosley, otherwise known as Dior Vision! Jacob has shot some pretty crazy artists such as Lil Uzi Vert, Kendrick Lamar and Tory Lanez. He started shooting when he was just a freshman in high school and six years later, continues to shoot some of the biggest shows in the industry. It all started with him taking a chance where he saw an opportunity, and the rest was history. In this episode, we talk about the importance of starting now, and not waiting until everything is “perfect” and we also get into how to deal with perfectionism in an age where everything online seems to be “perfect.” I also talk about perfectionism in the beginning of the show and we discuss the work of Thomas Curran, a researcher from the University of Baths. He gave a Ted Med Talk on the impact that his research shows perfectionism is having on society, especially in young people. This is something that has been on my mind a lot lately, so I wanted to share it with you guys. Enjoy!   Dior Vision Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/diorvision/?hl=en

We have Gloria and Victoria of the Chemist Confessions on Ready to Launch! Today we talked about how they left their desk jobs as skincare formulators at Loreal and started Chemist Confessions. In the beginning, Chemist Confessions was just a skincare blog, but its popularity provided the opportunity for them to start their own line of skincare products. Chemist Confessions is really unique in that Victoria and Gloria are both chemists, so they are able to debunk all the labels of the skincare products you have in your cupboard. They also are able to formulate the perfect products using their background in formulation, go check them out! Victoria and Gloria open up about some of the struggles that come with owning your own line of products, but what makes it all worth it in the end. This is a great reminder that no matter who you are, stress is a part of the picture if you’re looking to grow as a person and as a professional. We also give our opinion on hashtagging on instagram, and hear a really funny story from Gloria about the finish line for their first product launch.   You can find their products on the Chemist Confessions website: https://chemistconfessions.com/   Chemist Confessions Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/chemist.confessions/?hl=en

Jence and Isi of Digitalism speak on what motivates them every day despite already having reached success in their careers, the importance of understanding the reality of social media, what they have in store for the future, being proud of your dreams/goals despite the point you are at in your career, and I even try to get them on the morning routine train (don’t know if they’re dying to jump on it). It was pretty nerve-racking going into this conversation with one of the best names in the world of electronic music, but the takeaway was golden and I could not be happier with the way this episode turned out. Enjoy!

In this episode with Tina Haupert from the Carrots n Cake blog, we talk about her journey with dealing with an autoimmune disease and the approaches she has taken to reduce her symptoms. Additionally, we have a candid discussion on her decision to come off birth control and compare experiences between being on oral birth control and the IUD. She also shares her success with drinking celery juice, and how it helped with her cystic acne! I definitely need to start on that. Then, we go into all things inflammation. What are the symptoms? What foods are inflammatory? Does inflammation worsen anxiety? Finally, we talk CBD and what to look out for when deciding which one to buy—they are not all created equally. Tina's experience with CBD is one of a success story. Finally, look out for a Zoe word vomit at the end of the episode.
