Self Care Passport

The title says it all. Rambling by me, Janae, the host of the Self Care Passport Podcast. I take the entire month to not add any more in, feel into what worked the year before and adjust from there. I rest, reflect and revitalize both personally and professionally. I am always looking for that common thread that ties life together and feels good on the inside. The Self Care Architect foundations come into play. I feel into them in Body, Mind & Soul as part of my January process. As mentioned in this podcast and countless times in previous episodes here are the nine Self Care Architect foundations: (Self) Love Soulful & Heart Centered Living Finances (Abundant Living) Boundaries Community & Relationships  Health In Body, Mind & Soul Creativity How We Consume (digitally, emotionally, materialisticly, nutritionally) Clarity Please reach out if you have questions or rambling of your own that you want to share. Thanks and Welcome to your new year ahead. ~Janae  Resources: Website  www.janaefletcher.com The Self Care Architect mini podcast trios in relationship with Simple, Abundant & Embodied Living.

This epsiode dives into what it feels like to button up a 3 month long cleanout project. How to be kind to yourself while doing it and all the emotions that come up as you take on your wanted and unwanted material posessions. You really realize doing some inner work around your values,  actually simplifies your life and helps you walk your talk, make decisions, create community and a relationship to yourself that backs you up time and time again. The needed or desired boundaries become more clear as you step into this way of holding yourself accountable, creating some space for yourself amongst it all. There are a lot of feelings tied up in what we physically have in our life. Having an emotional outlet beyond the acts of donating, recycling and trashing what you don't need, is essential self care. A lot of answers come in the doing, moving us forward. Need support on your personal unpacking or want to get clear on your values? Reach out for a comfortable space to unlayer all the stored emotions and feelings that go along with your unpacking your life. Thanks for listening in. ~Janae Ps. Previous epsiodes, 68 and 69 are part of this trio. https://www.janaefletcher.com/ https://www.instagram.com/janae_fletcher/

Hello again, This episode is about taking on all the emotions and physical trapping of too much stuff! Everything in storage is getting my attention. The simplification project outside the tiny house and inside myself continues on! I'm saying yes and no with equal amounts of enthusiasm and hopefully inspiring others to do the same. I've learned so much by taking this project on. It's freeing and worth the effort, both physically and emotionally. Things that have helped with the simplification and sorting process: Designated areas for Donate, Recycle/Garbage, Sell/Consign Asking family members if they want any of the genrational goodies! Putting more emotional/detailed sorting into labeled bins to go through in another season. Be kind to yourself and allow all the emotions Baby steps and all day clean outs are both form of progress. https://www.janaefletcher.com/ https://www.instagram.com/janae_fletcher/

Hello there, This episode is about not waiting for perfect conditions, listening to your body, and feeling the layers of your life. Physical and emotional memories may be in boxes in storage or buried deep within. Time to clear out and clear up what feels better on the inside and let go, donate, recycle, regift the rest. Join me in taking on all the emotions and physical trapping of too much stuff; saying yes and no with equal amounts of enthusiasm! Let the simplification project outside the tiny house and inside myself  begin! "The art of life lies in a constant readjustment to our surroundings.” ~ Kakuzo Okakura, The Book of Tea https://www.janaefletcher.com/ https://www.instagram.com/janae_fletcher/  

Personal Revolutions come in many forms. In this episode we explore the power of rest, slowing down and words in many forms, particularly the power of a single word. Theme words for the year are a restful, fun and intriguing way to enter each day. They help us, find support for what life requires of us; delight in the doing and undoing in simple, abundant and embodied ways. Good things take time and intention. Finding the right questions to ask yourself gives you the best answers and keep your theme words top of mind. Janae's 2022 Word of the Year: Open, with personal curiosity guiding the way.  Inspiration from Yung Pueblo "Wisdom is accepting that there are things you cannot force People change when they are ready Creativity moves at its own rhythm  Healing does not have a time limit Love blooms when things align" Resources: www.janaefletcher.com www.selfcarepassport.com https://www.instagram.com/janae_fletcher/ Healing  the Hustle: www.jessicabutts.com Local Book Club: The Camano Shop   

Hello and welcome to the Simple, Abundant and Embodied podcast series with micro episodes here for you whenever you need them. Today we will be talking about Embodiment and Clarity, our final episode of this Self Care Architect trio and the entire mini series. I encourage you to slow down, pause when needed, attune yourself, breathe deeply,spend time doing things you love, hanging out with people who feel good on the inside, love on your pets, your joys in whatever form.  move your body and feel yourself relax even just for a moment. Build upon that one embodied step at a time. Moving our bodies moves us through emotions. Avoiding feelings is a form of stagnation. Use your body to live into your emotions as a healthy way to take areas of your life that need more joy, ease and calm. Bring yourself back home. This is a simple, abundant and embodied way of living that feels good inside and out.  “Let your body call you back into yourself, into your most deeply embodied self. Land, dive, soar. Find the crumbs that lead you back home.” ― Cheryl Pallant, https://www.instagram.com/janae_fletcher/

Hello and welcome to the Simple, Abundant and Embodied podcast series with micro episodes here for you whenever you need them. Today we will be talking about Abundance and Clarity Abundance is a side effect of doing what we love fully and being who we are fully. It is a deep breath for our whole being. Moving into an abundant mindset from one of scarcity is life changing and brings us more clarity of what we truly want for ourselves. What do you truly want for yourself? This shift is transformational and is available to us freely. Accept where you are, who you are and revel in it. We are in command, not control of what happens or what has happened to us. Thinking about this from a state of abundance rather than lack and scarcity fills us up. Getting clear that life happens for us not to us is expansive, abundant  and enriching ultimately giving us a clarity and clear way of being that supports us through life's ups and down. As sweet as this sounds, we are not just here for the milk and cookies. We grow and expand in relationship to our courage to get clear on what we really want and how we want to feel at the end of each day.  How do we bring in more clarity you may ask.  Let's face it life is complicated, get  curious not complacent. Even if you don't quite believe it yet or in every situation,  Come from a place in your mind, where you are already worthy, walk into a room, engage in a conversation with clarity and conviction. This creates abundance within, little by little, step by step.  Build upon that because truly you are enough, worthy and loveable just as you are. Affirmation: “You must take personal responsibility. You cannot change the circumstances, the seasons, or the wind, but you can change yourself.” – Jim Rohn https://www.instagram.com/janae_fletcher/  

This episode of the Simple, Abundant, Embodied Living mini series within the Self Care Passport podcast, is about Clarity. This our final foundation and archetype in the series. Simplicity comes by finding the right questions for you personally that will help  change your life.  This leads to clarity and clarifying your preferences leads to simplicity. It really is a symbiotic relationship. Affirmation: Simplicity is clarity and clarity is simplicity. Reach out or join me on social. Thanks for being here! ~Janae hello@janaeflether.com Instagram  

Hello and welcome to the Simple, Abundant and Embodied podcast series with micro episodes here for you whenever you need them. Today we will be talking about Embodiment and How we consume. Think Digital Intake, Emotional Thoughts, Materialistic Needs/Wants and Nutritional Choices. The most basic lesson is thinking about our breathing, something we do naturally to stay alive. If we think about it as a tool that is already within us, you don't have to add anything in to receive what you need. Exhale creates space for the inhale, walking away makes space for walking into something new.  Affirmation: “Minimalism is the intentional promotion of the things we most value and the removal of anything that distracts us from it.” Joshua Becker Thank you and see you next time for more Simple, Abundant, Embodied Living with our next foundation - Our final trio of this mini series will be about exploring clarity in a simple, abundant and embodied manner. https://www.instagram.com/janae_fletcher/

By consuming less we have more time, space and mental clarity for ourselves. Notice what you can nurture with less? Digital world, less notifications, allotted times instead of time drains of all day use, systems and structure = less distractions Emotional clutter, breathe easier, pay attention to what is truly important. Materialistic needs and wants, less to clean, clear and calculate (budget); quality over quantity.  Nutritional Choices, more energy, more conversation at meals or saying that you want to make some changes. These efforts honor yourself and others, feeling more whole and abundant. Affirmation: Abundance is a process of letting go; that which is empty can receive. ~Bryant H. McGill Thank you for being here today. Please reach out if you have questions, comments or concerns. https://www.instagram.com/janae_fletcher/  

How can you simplify your choices to create space for yourself without out feeling saturated or personally consumed? Time to ponder, pause and live into what you really want. We will be talking about how we consume as a whole, with simplicity by our side. Simplifying always brings up a lot of questions within us to get down to what is important for us to have or not have in our lives. Simplicity and Saturation comes to mind when considering how we consume, Digitally, Emotionally, Materialistically and Nutritionally. How can you simplify your choices to create space for yourself without out feeling saturated or personally consumed? Time to ponder, pause and live into what you really want.  Affirmation: "The ability to simplify means to eliminate the unnecessary so that the necessary may speak.” - Hans Hofmann  hello@janaeflether.com Instagram

Hello and welcome to the Simple, Abundant and Embodied podcast series with micro episodes here for you whenever you need them. Today we will be talking about Embodiment and Creativity. Embodiment is really tuning into the clues that our body is sending us, listening within and basically following our intuition or gut instincts. Activation Step: Move your body and listen within to support yourself.  Creativity comes to us in so many forms, by moving our bodies we expand this concept. Are you a believer that structure provides freedom? There is freedom and and more in structure. It sets up an abundant foundation that supports us as we explore an unlimited amount of possibilities. Creativity taken to heart via our thinking, creating, loving and more expands our life as we grow out of scarcity and into abundance one movement at a time. Affirmation: Learn the rules like a pro, so you can break them like an artist. Pablo Picasso Please take to heart, the most loving form of embodiment is really listening to your body and not second guessing your first instinct. The world needs your creativity in all forms. Thank you for joining me today. Until next time, be your own best friend and learn the rules like a pro, so you can break them like an artist.

Hello and welcome to the Simple, Abundant and Embodied podcast series with micro episodes here for you whenever you need them. Today we will be talking about Abundance and Creativity. Activation Step: Ever have thought about linear thinking versus creative thinking? Honor that energy. We can have it all through how we approach life and with creative thinking. It is the sprinkles on top, the lemon twist, the spice of life or that bit of unexpected joy and freedom of thought. This way of being, Expands our time, experiences and ultimately our joy. Reaching out to a new experience creates abundance. Yes, maybe it will not go as you envisioned it but it creates an opennessness for more abundance, another experience or emotion that you hadn’t even thought was possible. Abundance is expansion in so many ways. In the wise words of Brene Brown: There is no innovation and creativity without failure. Period. Brené Brown Affirmation: You can’t use up creativity. The more you use, the more you have. Maya Angelou www.selfcarepassport.com - www.janaefletcher.com - https://www.instagram.com/janae_fletcher/

Today we will be talking about Simplicity and Creativity. How can you creatively navigate your choices for your greater personal good, that of your community and our collective humanity? Humanity has had a rough go lately and really, for a long time. Take to heart that small shifts and larger leaps of faith can make the world (in micro and macro ways) a better place; more loving, creative, and joyful. Life can have meaning and be fun. Activation Step: Pause as you make decisions for yourself. Creative thinking celebrates you and your desired outcomes. Notice if this decision/step feels creatively alive, supporting a greater vision for yourself, adjust as needed.  Self Care Passport template is available on my site (www.janaefletcher.com) under contacts and resources. Affirmation: Creativity is intelligence having fun. ~Albert Einstein  

Hello and welcome to the Simple, Abundant and Embodied podcast series with micro episodes here for you whenever you need them. Today we will be talking about Embodiment and our Health in Body, Mind and Soul. Embodiment is really tuning into the clues that our body is sending us, listening within and basically following our intuition or gut instincts. Activation Step: Ask you body to help you. It is a great tool in letting you know what you need today and everyday Affirmation: My body is healthy; my mind is brilliant; my soul is lively yet tranquil.

Today we are talking Abundance in regards to Health in Body, Mind and Soul After. our basic needs are met, the notion of abundance is less about material conditions, revolving instead around an appreciation of life in its fullness, joy and strength of mind, body and soul. Your health is what you make of it. Everything you do and think either adds to the vitality, energy and spirit you possess or takes away from it. Honor your energy of the day and celebrate the little steps you take towards your desired feel of health. Action Step:  Celebrate you wins, of any size, shape and form. Little steps add up! Affirmation: I honor my energy www.janaefletcher.com

Welcome to the Simple, Abundant and Embodied Living mini series with the Self Care Passport podcast. This truly is a series dedicated to practical, magical and meaningful ways of getting what we want in your daily life and lightning the way for ourselves to move forward in a positive, impactful way. Action Step: Take an honest look at yourself, your habits and rituals. Notice how you are feeling and call yourself out on what is snagging you into not living aligned and in harmony. And... hydrate, we are an internal ocean. Give your body some liquid love) Affirmation: I trust and respect my intuition and my body's wisdom.

Today we will be talking about Embodiment, Community and Relationships. Embodiment is really tuning into the clues that our body is sending us, listening within and basically following our intuition or gut instincts. The body never lies and stores a multitude of resources for us to use for support and guidance. Awareness and insight  is amplified when we use our body as a tool rather than obsessing over what we think is less than perfect about this beautiful machine that carries us around. One of things we learn and live into through the Body Mind community is to honor the energy that is showing up, wrap it in love, and then invite the energy you want to feel. How can we ease forward in our lives by honoring who we are and the community and relationships we crave. The most loving form of embodiment is really listening to your body and not second guessing your first instinct. Your body will reach out in pain, raised shoulders, headaches and more when we allow too much negativity or unanswered emotions to guide us. Motion moves us physically and emotionally. Deep breathing, a 10 minute walk can do wonders, simple movements as you invite in the energy you want to feel are so helpful putting one foot and thought in front of the other will change you. Wrap yourself up! We get down to the loving decisions when we are willing to change our atmosphere, patterns of movement and ways of interacting. Affirmation: I am able to easily move forward in my life Thank you for joining me today and see you next time for more Simple, Abundant, Embodied Living with our next foundation - Health in Body Mind & Soul

Today we are talking Abundance in regards to Community and Relationships. After our basic needs are met, the notion of abundance is less about material conditions, revolving instead around an appreciation of life in its fullness, joy and strength of mind, body and soul. Your actionable step in creating more abundance is noticing where you feel most alive full of joy in your community and relationships. Honor that, say thank you and use that to guide you; deciding how you will be or not be part of a community. Ultimately we all deserve a nurturing and amazing community. Collect evidence where this is present in you life and lean into this as a guide. Affirmation: I belong in a nurturing and amazing community.

Is anyone really the same these days? We are reevaluating, learning, growing, struggling, contemplating, accepting, resisting, resting, moving forward, mad as hell and more! Community and Relationships aren’t simple, yet we can bring SIMPLICITY into the mix by tending to what we want and don’t want. Activation Step: Notice the way you are interacting to support yourself, others and what is important to you. We are stronger in community and relationships when we care for ourselves. Care for ourselves, not comparing ourselves to others. Affirmation:  I only compare myself to myself.

Today's episode is focused on Boundaries and Embodiment. Notice what happens within your body as you speak, act and really listen to what you want. How are you creating ease within yourself as you set boundaries for yourself and others?  Activation Step: Play around with the idea of putting a staff or your foot down as a barrier to that idea, person or situation that you needs (or doesn't need) your attention. Affirmations: No one will listen to us, until we listen to ourselves. ~Marianne Williamson https://www.selfcarepassport.com https://www.instagram.com/janae_fletcher/

Today's episode is about Boundaries and Abundance. The focus of this session is setting boundaries around your time, efforts, energy to create more abundance and needed time for yourself.

In this episode I had the pleasure of talking with Sensi Graves, professional kiteboarder, entrepreneur, writer, speaker and kiteboarding coach. In 2012, Sensi launched her eponymous swimwear label, Sensi Graves Bikinis, to meet the demands of her sport (after losing one too many string bikinis in the surf, she decided to tackle the job herself and design suits that actually stay on in rough conditions). The Hood River, Oregon local also produces and leads empowering women's kiteboarding retreats and has traveled around the world as a motivational speaker. We talked about  her sustainable swimwear brand, caring for the environment, the power of water and community, relaxing into being proud of her accomplishments; being resilient and empowered, redefining failure and her passion for developing content for her community that empowers, uplifts, and inspires.

Have you ever wanted more, simplicity and ease in life, feel more abundance, while listening to the cues from your body? It feels good on the inside and the outside. In this episode three questions are presented to ask yourself, before making decisions. The idea is to take yourself closer to where you want to be and how you want to feel, one step and choice at a time, all while listening to what your body is telling you. It's the Self Care Passport process in action. Your decisions and choices are powerful, adding up to maintain and sustain a life you love. Saying yes and no with equal amounts of enthusiasm will come into play. Questions to keep top of mind: How can I keep this simple or add an element of simplicity to my life with this decision or choice? How is this adding abundance in attitude or action to my life? How is my body feeling as I contemplate this decision? Checking in with yourself will change your world. http://janaefletcher.com/SelfCarePassport www.janaefletcher.com  https://www.instagram.com/janae_fletcher/        

This episode of the Self Care Passport Podcast touched my heart as the girl I was long ago, and who still resides within to who I am today. There is so much to share and dive into when talking about suicide and mental health awareness. As Savannah Clements of, Keep Choosing Life a non profit confirms, there is no one size fits all when talking about mental health. In this episode we talk about forgiveness, grace, helping others and how to keep choosing life everyday. May is Mental Health Awareness Month. Really, it is something to consider every day.  Mental health has been a huge topic of conversation during COVID-19 because of the effects of isolation on people. KCL wants to make sure you know that you are not alone.  Additional information and resources are available at KeepChoosingLife.org including her new virtual workshop Keep Choosing LIfe - Connect & Create IG: @keepchoosinglife FB: @keepchoosinglife  www.janaefletcher.com IG: @janae_fletcher

A view from my world about our current health crisis, the need to feel all the emotions, hailing simplicity as a helper and finding gratitude, even when it's hard earned.

Simplification and Energy Management Opening up space within yourself and in your schedule is vitally important to living a life you love. Your memory space and physical body can get exhausted if we take on too much. It creeps up on us sometimes. We may actually enjoy what we are saying yes to, but too much input is confusing, causes stress and lack of lustre so to speak. We dull ourselves with too much. There is a lot out there in the world to explore. This episode is dedicated to all the re words renew, refresh, relaxation, rejuvenate, relax and reevaluate and not forgetting about our responsibilities. I reevaluated recently and it felt so good, after the initial rearrange (another re word) that I wanted to share this with you. Learn to say yes and no with equal amounts of enthusiasm. No, is a complete sentence with no explanation needed. Also included are ideas to have Movement, Money and Mindset feeling like love.

In this episode I have the pleasure of talking with Ann Miszczak. She inspires me in my business and personal life to Nourish, Blossom & Flourish, as she has through, creating rituals, routines; setting goals and dreams into motion. Her path from creative and wide eyed girl to virtual assistant and business mentor, all while living through a traumatic upbringing is inspiring. Her journey as a young mother, amazing parent of 3 and now an early learning advocate in Washington State, speaks to her dedication to improve upon each day through commitment, creativity, a daily journaling practice and more. The story about her grandma is a true testament to the human spirit,  creativity, love and a how sequence of kind acts can anchor you for life.

This podcast was originally an episode that I recorded with The Badassery Podcast, It was fun, inspiring and a step out of my comfort zone, being a guest on their show. It was the first time ever I heard my voice on this format. I'm excited to share this in reverse. The Badassery team graciously shared their audio with me. I loved doing this collaboration.  The Badassery theme is, Community is our Passion. This certainly is portrayed in this episode and in its original form. Here is what they had to say, as they introduced me, for their show a year ago this month. Janae Fletcher has a unique take on what we would normally think of when we hear the term ‘Self Care’. As the creator of the Self Care Passport, Janae believes in each of us, being able to have more alignment, balance, flow and ease in our lives, whether it be our business or personal lives, enables us to develop deeper self awareness. Janae is a believer of transforming each day into what we NEED it to be through self-awareness and simplifying materialistic ideals, while blending self care into an all encompassing lifestyle. You can find the resources mentioned in the podcast at www.janaefletcher.com www.badasserymag.com The original episode on www.badasserypodcast.com is Balance and Flow. EP 59, debuting February, 2018 ⇒ http://badasserypodcast.com/episode-59-balance-flow/    

Foundation: Clarity In this episode I talk about how I gained CLARITY by diving into the 9 Self Care Architect foundations with prompts such as Be, Be Courageous, Surrender, Be Loving and Allow. The Self Care Architect foundations discussed are supported by the entire Self Care Architect series, starting at EP 11. Love Soulful & Heart Centered Living Finances (Abundant Living) Boundaries Community & Relationships Health in Body Mind & Soul Creativity Consumption, How We Consume Clarity This practical approach to life and how I make choices came out of my desire to live a life I loved, moving through past trials and tribulations, anxiety, depression, healing from loss of loved ones, a marriage marred by emotional trauma, eventual divorce and “single” motherhood, raising young men that are stellar adults, my biggest worry and greatest triumph. I explain how my life is not how I imagined it. Amongst it all I  built a business from the ground up, while all of this was swirling around me and within me. I eventually found love again, a lengthy surrender, with the help of introspection a strong desire to change, supported by these foundations. Motherhood, SELF CARE, tending to my business and love of many kinds brought me back to myself, raw but ready. I moved into finding my voice, speaking into my ideals and sharing it with others. Something at one point I thought would be impossible. I had been so caged and quieted that it hurt to physically be me. I used these foundations as my guide over the years and finally took that intentional leap to bring them more life sharing them with the world this last year via the podcast and with my clients. My intent is to help others in practical ways with encouragement and a deep knowing that you can have a life you love, one step at a time. Thank you for listening into this series. It is near and dear to my heart. ~Janae Resources: www.janaefletcher.com Self Care Architect Course, Spring Launch Self Care Architect Daily Sheet Self Care Passport process, download Self Care Passport Group Instagram Please feel free to reach out on social or at hello@janaefletcher.com
