At age 29, Jaclyn is the Director of Publicity of Shorefire Media Nashville. We met more than 10 years ago in a PR 270 course at University of Tennessee, a class that clearly fared much better for her career than mine! What she’s accomplished in the past seven years of work in publicity and media tops the charts for most in her industry and certainly at her age. (Yes, I’m bragging on my friend, but yes, that’s also 100% true!).  But among the many “pinch me” experiences her work allows are also demanding deadlines, endless expectations, and lots of plane tickets. She recounts one of her most hectic weeks of 2019 where she spent 5 days in Atlanta promoting the Super Bowl musical performances followed by 6 days in LA for the Grammys, a quick turn around in Nashville, and a subsequent 4 more in NYC to follow. This isn’t her every week, but in the midst of a lifestyle that can get you to the top but leave nothing in the tank, we talk with Jaclyn about how to find rest when you’re killing it at work so that your work doesn’t end up killing you.  We look at the seemingly impossible balance of holding drive and hard work in one hand and keeping real, prioritized expectations of ourselves in the other. It’s easy to fall victim to others’ personal and professional expectations of us, so Jaclyn is diligent to keep her goals, her goals. “I make a point to write down my goals once a week or month or whatever makes sense. Setting and sticking to my expectations of myself instead of living up to other’s expectations of me helps me feel free to slow down.” We also talk about reframing the to-do list and travel schedule with a “have to versus choose to” mindset. We talk about the importance of asking, “why am I doing this next thing?” rather than simply asking, “what is the next thing?”  And when we finally do honor our need to pump the breaks and push pause, we explore what real rest can look like. We both share our struggle to learn how to rest, and Jaclyn speaks the freeing truth that rest can look very different for different people on different days. We don’t have to do the week at the beach or the expensive spa day to recharge. What we love about Jaclyn is her celebration of and overwhelming gratitude for the beauty of the mundane. She started pursuing “regular” spaces for rest when she realized “the little things really are the big things because they’re the things that recharge us and keep us going.” If you’re in a profession with long hours and lots of travel, or even if you’re simply in a season that feels impossible to slow down, I urge you to listen in. Hear first hand from two doers who have blown through a lot of stop signs in life and are learning, little by little, the joy and contentment that comes when we fight for rest and much as we fight for rewards.

"Your worth exists because you're imperfect." - Danelle Nielson I have been looking forward to sharing this conversation with my good friend Danelle for months and months. We finally got it recorded, and it doesn't disappoint (in my opinion). Danelle and I both love Brene Brown, learning how to be vulnerable, eating amazing food, and talking about ADD, yes that so-called "disorder" known for making people have distractable brains. Danelle was diagnosed with it in grad school and I've been deeply fascinated by that kind of brain for years -- most of my best friends are wired that way. As I've learned more and more about the differences in our brains and how much that impacts our self-perception and self-worth, I've come to believe that there are no mistakes about how we come to planet Earth. We all have innate strengths and weaknesses, and the ability to own those is what sets us free to enjoy our time here. This episode is about a lot of things, but mostly it's about experiencing the relief of letting yourself be yourself. Show notes Why we think everyone should take advantage of therapy (4:45) What ADHD (ADD) is and what it's like to live with it in 2019 (7:32) What a shame trigger feels like (17:15) How to change our experience of shame (23:00) How understanding your personality's strengths helps you own your worth (25:37) The value of playing to your strengths instead of focusing on your weaknesses (33:55) What it feels like to own your worth (41:47) Why we don't want to hustle (45:10) Links we mention Brene Brown Rising Strong by Brene Brown Sally Hogshead's How to Fascinate test Dean Graziosi Follow Danelle Instagram

Da Ida var 9 år tok moren og stefaren hennes med til Tanzania. Der bodde hun i 2,5 år, en tid som siden har vært med på å forme livet hennes og hvordan hun møter det. Nå, et lite steg inn i voksenlivet, lever hun et tilsynelatende A4-liv med mann og barn. Utenfor normaliteten har Ida, etter et par nederlag og erkjennelser, satset på drømmeprosjektet sitt, for å våge seg ut av de trygge rammene, og for å utfordre dem. Et av ønskene hennes er å inspirere til og snakke mer om at det å gjøre feil ikke er synonymt med å være dum eller kunnskapsløs, snarere en god anledning til å lære og utvikle seg. Nå, etter å ha tatt opp lån på huset og engasjert mange av Norges sterkeste kvinnelige stemmer og fagfolk, er første utgave av hennes folkefinansierte magasin "Altså" ute, med over 4000 abonnenter. Målet med magasinet er "Å hylle kvinnen som den hun er, ikke fortelle henne hvem hun burde være". Helt uretusjert og fritt for skjønnhetstyranni. Hør Ida og Oda om hverdagsliv ut av boksen, om å hoppe i det, tro på oss selv og ikke janteloven, om feminismenes nye vår og om å gjøre en forskjell, for oss selv og verden.

Have you ever been hurt through your time in ministry? Do you wonder how to weave faith into the day-to-day operations of your business? What role does obedience play when you’re processing hard times while growing your business? In this episode, I talk with virtual tax advisor Melissa Whaley about what leadership looks like when you’re processing ministry hurts plus how our faith grows as we lead our businesses. Simple ways to weave your faith into your business: Share principles of what Jesus taught. In Melissa’s case, she shares about the importance of paying taxes and being honest. Don’t be ashamed to share your faith and talk about how God is working in your life. Melissa will share with others God’s view on money. Encourage people to grow in their faith. Melissa does this by encouraging people to be good steward of their business and personal finances. Processing ministry hurts Anyone who has gone through a church split or left a church knows that it’s emotionally difficult to process. After going through a split at her church, Melissa shared these lessons: Remember that it takes time to heal, trust, and start relationships again. You may need a change of pace like a house church. Obey what God asks you to do even if you don’t feel like doing it. Evaluate whether visiting a spiritual director might be a fit for you. Be kind to yourself as you adjust from having a leadership role to simply attending on a Sunday morning. Melissa’s book recommendations: Daring Greatly* by Brene Brown Rising Strong* by Brene Brown Key Quotes from episode: “If you have other people watching you and following your example, you’re a leader.” “God can equip you to lead in a small or large capacity.” “My purpose is not to make as much money as possible, but to serve people well and to help them and to weave my faith into my business."

It’s like breathing. It’s like heartbeat. It is there. It is going to be a part of your makeup forever. However, you can chose to act in spite of it. And that’s courageous.

Daniel’s chilling experiences become the platform from which your own team can be inspired and empowered to greater resilience, stamina and performance. Courage Under Fire: Experiencing fear and going through it to greater levels of commitment and engagement. The terror experienced by those enslaved inside the modern day slave trade, as well as their courage, provided both the catalyst and the path to Daniel as he wrestled with his own anxiety and fear in the face of discovery and imminent death. Anxiety and fear are the plague of any company seeking to create new and innovative solutions. Daniel provides unexpected solutions to everyday problem solving and personal achievement in the workplace. From Slavery to Freedom: Unleashing the powerful link between self-compassion and performance. Evidence suggests that low self-compassion is a primary cause of workplace conflict, low morale and poor performance. Daniel communicates how he was able to transform his own mindset into more resilient self-compassion in order to operate successfully within the traumatic and stressful environments he worked in. Find out how self-compassion can transform both your working relationships and goal driven outcomes. Fighting "from" Freedom: Clarifying the lenses through which we see ourselves and others in order to build a stronger brand and a more successful corporate culture. So much time and so many resources are wasted in the pursuit of our own short-term personal ambitions, often at the expense of the overall long-term desired outcomes. Daniel outlines the three simple yet transformational steps to be taken in moving a company from a place of hustling for its worthiness to shining in its abundance. Daniel has inspired audiences around the world with his unique experiences, challenging content and grounded transparency. His ability to engage both small groups and large conferences has made him a sought after speaker and presenter. Wellness Tip Ask How can I live today from a place of freedom?
