PODCAST ENVY HAS REACHED 100 EPISODES!  The all-cap is warranted. Looking back over 100 episodes, I can't help but think about the olden days of my business. When I launched Podcast Envy in 2018, I had a small roster of podcast editing clients and helped a handful of folks launch new shows. Oh, and the “team” was just me and Edwin Ruiz, CI's technical director extraordinaire.  My centennial achievement is only half the story. The other half belongs to the Creative Impostor Studios team––a team I'm mad proud to say has gone global: Monica Braine, Associate Editor & Consulting Producer (Albuquerque, NM); Helen King, Associate Editor (Auckland, New Zealand); Alex Riegler, Podcast Manager (Chicago, IL); Edwin R. Ruiz, Technical Director (Chicago, IL); Heidi Stabbert, Associate Editor (Anchorage, AK); Caitlin Sunderland, Social Media & Outreach Coordinator, (Richmond, VA); and Lisa Widder, Show Notes Copywriter (Chicago, IL). To mark 100 shows, I asked each of them to offer up some sage counsel for podcasters, plus a piece of advice for folks wanting to do what they do on the daily.  MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE PE055: Celebrating Podcast Milestones Podcast Envy DIY+ Launch Program - Book a 20min Virtual Tea Date with Andrea to see if you're ready! *** Get the full show notes including links to shows and episodes referenced at: https://www.podcastenvy.com I'd love to hear your thoughts and questions!

Have you been noticing the different shifts that you have been experiencing since COVID-19 ? It’s been pretty interesting living & observing my highs, lows & in betweens. There’s so much to learn about myself, my relationships, habits and patterns that pop up in the midst of profound uncertainty. My hope for me and you, is that we remember we are living in global trauma, & processing that is impossible, while in the midst of trauma. I hope we remember to be gentle with ourselves & others, recognizing trauma brings on many different responses & often feels like those responses are all happening at the same time. I hope we remember to acknowledge the pain of trauma and the blessings that surface. Please listen & reflect on what it’s like to be you as you are living in and through this trauma called the pandemic. So far, this is a summary of what it's been like sheltering in place with myself. Behind the scenes. You are the beloved. And I will talk with you soon.    *** Connect with Lisa: Women who long to be reminded of our magnificence, realigned with purpose and challenged to imprint the world, as only we can -- who are ready to learn, practice and share RADICAL SELF LOVE as a revolutionary act of healing self and others, request to join us in Lovely Space on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/2331858480409324/   http://www.insideoutconversations.com Facebook @lisalackeyconversations Instagram @lisalackey60   Edited by Andrea Klunder and Edwin Ruiz at The Creative Impostor Studios.

Have you ever met people and their energy just makes you feel better, even if you already feel good? My guests today are Dr. Martha Linn and D Anthony Evans, they are two that have that life giving energy. Their lives are full and their own medical crisis led them down a path of healing that they now share with others as they pursue health.  In this show you will be encouraged, experience hope, you will get some great information about positivity, food as medicine and the connection of emotional and physical health. Dr. Linn says, even though she was eating healthy and exercising regularly her thought patterns were negative and incongruent with the lifestyle she was working toward. She said “ I was really kind to everybody on the outerworld, and very hard on me, on the inner world. My pattern of thought is based on my belief that I'mnot good enough. My internal thoughts were like a yelling Drill Sergeant.” At this point Dr. Linn began addressing these negative thoughts, by replacing them with meditation and affirmations.  You can check out Dr. Linn’s practice here: https://inradianthealth.com/ D Anthony Evans refused to accept this rare form of cancer would only allow him six months to live. Health issues were not new for D, from the time he was 6 years old he dealt with a rare condition and was constantly in pain. With the cancer diagnosis, came information regarding all of the options for living for 6 months. D Anthony Evans chose another option, based on his determination to live. That option is what he continues to practice every single day. That option is what he calls Train To Live. To this day D lives by his commitment to himself and the agreement he has with God. He shares his gratitude for life by speaking to people all over the world, as a motivational speaker, he represents the American Cancer Society, and trains adults and children to live!

My husband and I answer the following questions based on our experience. Does the confinement of quarantine highlight relational challenges?  Are you having trouble navigating internal and external stress?  Could you use guidance and support during this unprecedented stressful time?

Episode 100. "Go, explore one of the episodes and really go into that story and just, you know, come out of it feeling like you just made a new friend. Even though you may have never, you MAY never meet them, you may never message them, but at least you know the struggles or the victories of someone else, which you know, you never know how it'll affect you and kind of drive you or inspire you. So that's it. I feel that's, that's the power of podcasting. Good storytelling." ~Edwin Ruiz, Technical Director, The Creative Impostor Studios   Happy 100! Thank you so much for joining me for the 100th episode celebration of The Creative Impostor podcast — I truly would not be here if not for you. Seriously, if my download numbers were 0 I would have quit this gig long ago. I could not think of a better time to celebrate a huge milestone than RIGHT NOW.   I don't know about you, but I need it. "I remember thinking that the title of this podcast was made just for me and remembered how soothing Andrea's voice was as a grounding element along with the background of mountains and farmland." ~Christina Dynamite, Podcast Listener, The Creative Impostor I am so happy to share with you both the voices of some listeners, who have been following The Creative Impostor for a while AND the voices of The Creative Impostor team (yep — i have a TEAM! behind the scenes and they are amazing humans.) But before we get there… I want to share the experience  of getting listener feedback and HEARING your voice. I've been asking for MONTHS for listeners to choose an episode title from the past 5 years and send a voice recording to me telling me in just a few minutes how that particular episode or title impacted your creative life and work.  I got a few responses - 3 to be exact. And each time an email popped into my inbox with the subject line “episode 100” I would inhale, smile, and then my palms would get a little sweaty. So I download the file and import it to my audio editing software. I see the visual waveform pop up on my screen and I click play. And it's like opening a completely unexpected gift that ends up being your favorite one — every single time. "You need to get the guts to use your voice and go out and do something, and then that can be kind of hard and scary." ~Stephanie Breese, Editing Apprentice, The Creative Impostor Studios Get the full show notes and connect with everyone featured  at http://www.thecreativeimpostor.com/100. *** Practice Yoga & Mantra with me Sundays at Noon CST.

Leah says she feels "conflicted" about doing business in the city of Chicago. What started as a vision for one retail shop has grown into a go-to hub for Chicago pet supplies, grooming services and dog daycare. With three locations, and a move and expansion on the horizon, Leah certainly has her hands full. And she loves it!  But sometimes the red tape, regulations, and seemingly exorbitant cost of doing business makes it difficult to spend the money where it matters most -- her staff.  Despite the growing pains, what's next for the Aeslin pet family?

Previously, Alex described doing business in Chicago as "frustrating". Running the sign company his father started has been a challenge, to say the least, especially with all of the layers of approval and red tape it takes for clients to get their signs and awnings approved. The permit process is currently slow and complicated, but it might be getting a little easier. As we release this episode, a new ordinance has been introduced in City Council to change the process for signs that hang over the public way, like awnings and thick lettering.  To learn how to help advocate for this change and others like it in support of Chicago small business, email us: clinic@ijclinic.org or call 773-834-3129.  You can learn more about Right Way Signs at www.rightwaysigns.com or on Facebook @RightWaySigns. *** How’s Business? is created by the Institute for Justice Clinic on Entrepreneurship at the University of Chicago Law School (IJ Clinic) and is hosted by Stacy Massey.

Sylvia and Augie's business grew out of a personal need for an effective laundry detergent that wouldn't irritate their family's sensitive skin. From diaper rash to eczema to sweaty workout clothes, Sylvia couldn't find an "all in one" product that worked for everyone, so she engaged an organic chemist to create one. Dinobi Detergent is designed to be an affordable, plant-based laundry detergent that is powerful in the wash, yet gentle on skin and the environment. From changing consumers' buying habits, to navigating the city's contract and procurement process, to keeping their product in stock for wholesalers, doing business isn't always easy. What is the vision for Dinobi over the next five years?   Learn more at https://www.dinobidetergent.com Follow @Dinobi_Detergent on Instagram and @DinobiDetergent on Facebook.

Liz says doing business in Chicago is "uncertain" because she's trying something outside of the box in the grocery market. Forty Acres Fresh Market is a pop-up grocer specializing in selling high quality fresh produce at an everyday low price. Founded in response to the dearth of fresh food options on Chicago's West Side, Liz is doubling down on community partnerships, grants, and building credibility in her neighborhood.

Robbie says doing business in Chicago is "full circle" because of how far she's come, from college professor to learning how to grow and manage her Chatham based pest control company to bidding on accounts with universities and other large companies and organizations.

Eva says doing business in Chicago is "challenging." That's putting it lightly!

When you experience being betrayed it is devastating. When that betrayal comes from an intimate partner, your life is changed forever. These changes impact emotional, psychological, spiritual, existential, physical and relational stability. In fact, intimate betrayal is traumatic. It  makes you feel like you are losing your mind. It robs you of your sense of security and puts you in a state of turbulence. Suddenly, everything you thought you knew, is now questioned, reality is altered. Your brain begins to be on constant alert. This traumatic disruption, causes extreme hyper-vigilance, restlessness, anxiety, and a sense of being on guard. This alters your ability to regulate your mood, to calm yourself, to think, to reason, and to make intelligent decisions. Your brain is hijacked with fear and daily tasks become almost impossible.  Research has shown that with the help of a trained professional the healing process usually takes between 18 months to 3 years. The healing period increases, with multiple betrayals and in long term relationships. This is an incredibly lonely and isolating experience. For this reason, it is my privilege to provide professional insight, encouragement and resources, so that you don’t have to feel as alone. Let's make a connection right now!

Autobiography In Five Short Chapters,  is one of my favorite “short stories” to re-visit. In different seasons these 5 chapters have helped me to locate myself. In other seasons, these chapters have given me a wake up calls. At other times humility, clarity, grace, and reminded me of my progress, even if I wasn’t where I thought I “should” be. As you consider sharing a part of your story, further understanding where you are in the story, re-writing parts of your story or you  just want to consider if you want to consider, read these 5 chapters. As you read each chapter, what do you connect with? What is/was your Chapter 1? What are some of your Chapter 1 lessons? Autobiography In Five Short Chapters –  Portia Nelson   Chapter I I walk down the street.
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.
I fall in.
I am lost... I am hopeless.
It isn't my fault.
It takes forever to find a way out.   Chapter II I walk down the same street.
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.
I pretend I don't see it.
I fall in again.
I can't believe I am in this same place.
But it isn't my fault.
It still takes a long time to get out.   Chapter III I walk down the same street.
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.
I see it there.
I still fall in... it's a habit... but,
my eyes are open.
I know where I am.
It is my fault.
I get out immediately.   Chapter IV I walk down the same street.
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.
I walk around it.   Chapter V I walk down another street.   Let's make a connection right now! Reach out an let me know how this episode resonates with you.

Let's make a connection right now! Reach out an let me know how this episode resonates with you. Email me: insideoutconvo@gmail.com   We want the same thing Most of us are seeking happiness, love, peace, joy… and let’s not forget freedom from the internal turmoil that so often plagues us.    When we can’t get what we need our hearts hurt  The heart, both physical and figurative, bears the burden of our emotional traumas and everyday stressors.  What occurs in our emotional world most certainly affects and often manifests itself in our physical body.   The painful cost of disconnection Many of us are suffering the pain of disconnection from our hearts. This disconnection often maintains emotional pain, eating disorders and other addictive processes.    The benefit of reconnecting  Reconnecting with the heart, with our authentic inner nature and capacity for love, may be the doorway to what we are truly seeking. The heart is relationship-centered and attention to it opens space for healing- with yourself and others.   Connection is a journey Let’s take a little journey to discover more about the heart and what reconnection with it means in our daily lives.  Reconnecting with the heart at a deeper level assumes that there has been a disconnection somewhere along the way. It is my bias that most of us go through life struggling to both BE connected and STAY connected to our hearts, to what we love, to our vulnerability, and to what moves us. We experience pressure from outside to be something we aren’t. We live fast paced lifestyles and function from our heads, neglecting the language of the heart. We overuse our minds and underuse our hearts. We want instant change and we don’t want to deal with discomfort.   Symptoms of disconnection Feeling disconnected from life or like you can’t connect with others. Feeling a lack of wholeness or that some part of you is missing or inaccessible. Feeling low self-worth or insecurity. Feeling stuck, unable to make changes or not knowing what changes to make. Feeling a sense of numbness or disconnection from your own body. Feeling drawn to a relationship that has been unhealthy for you. Feeling urges to engage in non-life sustaining behaviors.   4 Options to begin a re-connecting process   Connect back to your body with physical activity.   Dance, walk, yoga, exercise, ride a bike,    swing your legs, just move.   Go outside and soak up the beauty of nature.   Look around very slowly from one side to the other and find 6 things that you see.   Be mindful and present to the moment.   If you’re taking a shower, notice the feeling of the water on your skin, the smell of the soap, the texture of your wash cloth, your feet on the ground.   Feel what you feel.   If you’re feeling the discomfort of anxiety, gently place your hand on the part of your body that feels the anxiety. If that feeling could speak, what would it say? Let's make a connection right now! Reach out an let me know how this episode resonates with you.

This is Part 2 of 2: What your mama didn't tell you! (If you haven't listened to episode 021 already, go back to that one so you can get part 1!) At various stages in our lives we find ourselves changing in ways that seem unexplainable! From about 45 years old until 50, I was taken captive by an invasion of body snatchers. It was strange, I couldn’t figure out where I was, where did I go? Would I ever return? There are times in life when we need to pause, because the cycles of life require us to do so. In those pauses, what will you listen for? Who will you become? What lessons will you learn & share?

All I could see was darkness all around me. In fact my eyes were adjusting to the darkness, so much so, I forgot it was dark. But, this sliver of light was just noticeable enough to spark curiosity.  Where was it coming from? I looked all around. I couldn’t locate the source. And then… I realized that the sliver of light was coming from within me. Today I share how to navigate the dark places in your life. Inevitably, we will face change in our lives and often change is painful, especially when we do not know the outcome of change.  In this episode, I discuss: How to hold onto hope, while in darkness. The signs of light in dark places. The only way to exit darkness.

In this episode, you’ll be encouraged to clarify what it means for you to feel safe to be who you are, where you are. A special place can be a physical space, relationships, a real or imagined place. More significant, is when we can create safety from within.

In this episode, you are invited to look around and inside of you to notice where you might be withholding.  Withholding is knowingly holding back in areas of your life that you are being challenged to move forward. You will recognize the excuses that surface when you want to defend withholding, and then you are further stretched to move past the chatter in your head and become more clear about your hesitations. We will discuss some of the tell tell signs that indicate withholding. The tell tale signs are categorized by a few “issue” groups: SELF-ESTEEM ESTEEM ISSUES BOUNDARIES ISSUES REALITY ISSUES NEEDS & WANTS ISSUES http://www.insideoutconversations.com *** Podcast edited by Andrea Klunder and Edwin Ruiz at The Creative Impostor Studios.

Have the conversation and action plan to clear the trails of distraction, lies and shadows that have frustrated you and your dreams.

Our great purpose will be unleashed sometimes in a fury, sometimes through gentle winds, and no matter how, the impact will continue to spark healing, the likes we have not seen.

After spending so many years refining my “no”, and even getting to the place of not feeling guilty about saying no, I was interrupted by this three letter word; yes.   I was trying to figure something out related to one of our adult children, to the point of overwhelm and not any closer to an answer.  When out of left field came the nudge to say YES to all that was and was not happening. This seemed crazy, and after much push back, I found myself saying Yes, yes to yes, the more I spoke these words, the lighter I felt.  At some point, probably after my resistance melted more and more, I realized that I was saying yes to something greater than the something I was trying to figure out. I was saying yes to the best for me, the best of me, and the best outcome for all concerned. You will be asked to look at some of the places your definitive no, may need to consider an exuberant yes. We’ll look at the defensive posture of no, and how it can block us from who we desire to be. We will look at the stagnancy that is, at times the response to our “no”.   Does any of this mean “no” is not that best response at times, no, not at all. It means that if our “no” is in any way born out of self imposed limitations, it is time to practice YES, in its place.

We hear a lot about boundaries today. “Girl, I’m setting my boundaries.” Boundaries, boundaries.”   When handled this way, there more like death threats, rather than exercising self compassion, and keeping yourself safe. As discussed in previous podcasts, boundaries are about taking care of yourself. Boundaries are not about manipulating outcomes, punishing or controlling. There is a realization, that experiencing similar patterns that don’t work, hurt AND we have choices. In this episode, we will talk about boundaries 2.0 = spiritual boundaries. This is self care/compassion that begins with an internal awareness; I deserve to be treated well, by myself and others AND I have to model to myself and others by setting boundaries. These boundaries help us to hold sacred our space as a precious child of God.   Click this link to get the Spiritual Boundaries Worksheet for this episode.

Too often difficult conversations never end, because we avoid, strategize and are often trying to protect our stance. In some ways, it feels like the same conversation over and over. Even when that pattern is recognized, it’s difficult to interrupt the pattern and even more difficult to see what part we play in this frustrating communication. As you listen you’ll hear about: What you require of other people when you’re in the role of Victim, Rescuer or Persecutor. Once you see what you’re unconsciously requiring of others, you’ll know why the same patterns emerge when in difficult conversations. Awareness, acknowledgement and accountability are game changers. These 3 A’s give you options, which include stepping outside the drama.

When we leave ourselves by being enamored or preoccupied with distractions, we gradually leave ourselves. Before we know it, we just don’t feel like ourselves and we start to look externally to feel better. We may even find “temporary solutions” only to find out that we are treating symptoms, rather than cause. An example may be being frustrated about something you haven’t dealt with, so you put it on a “shelf”, as if that’s the “solution” to the frustration. Putting it on the shelf, may temporarily bring relief. However, if the cause, perhaps procrastination due to fear, is not dealt with, the “squatter of procrastination” will not leave.   Have you ever had a squatter in your house?

As children, we are often comforted when we are afraid of the dark. We have night lights, to distract us from our fears. When we hear sounds at night, they often sound louder, shadows look like monsters coming to get us, and every potentially scary experience we have ever had comes to mind and our bodies remember the previous terror, as though what happened then is happening now. If we get stuck in the dark, though it is scary, it is familiar, we know how to navigate. To actually, walk through the dark and turn on the light, is not as familiar. The consequences of not doing the unfamiliar are; staying in the dark, seeing that the “monsters” in your closet, are your clothes, believing and living a lie, that darkness whispers.   Learn more about Lisa and her clinical practice, Insideout Living: https://www.insideoutrecovery.com/     Connect on: Facebook @lisalackeyconversations Instagram @lisalackey60   Insideout Conversations is edited by Andrea Klunder and Edwin Ruiz at The Creative Impostor Studios.

Episode 003. Fear can be a powerful distraction that confuses us into thinking that our next step, chapter, or move, is too scary. Fear whittles away at our courage bit by bit. Living in fear is not living. When we come to that awareness, if we do not take action, we’ll start to feel like we’re dying. So what’s the alternative?

  "Whenever there's a dare in my life, I say, 'Oh yeah? You're going to dare me? Then I'm going to show you that I can do it!"; ~Sara Zalek, on creating the first Post-Butoh Festival in Chicago (after being told it could never work) We are in a moment… I discovered Sara Zalek's work through my Edwin Ruiz (my audio engineer and founder of Mondo Machine) when he was producing video for Butoh Chicago and again during a multi-media experience of Expanded Cinema when he was collaborating with Full Spectrum Features. Sara's performance that night was the highlight of the evening. Edgy, uncomfortable, mysterious, beautiful –– she integrated a dance between rigid and fluid, slow and manic body movement along with a colorful analog video experiment projected behind her and electronic and acoustic music accompanying her highly improvisational experience that somehow was both coherent and evocative. This was a collaborative piece called Still Life with Hanna Brock and Sara Goodman and, in fact, a lot of Sara's work is collaborative and “in the moment,” exploring the life journey, full of ups and downs and dark and light. She seeks to challenge or provoke her audience with the question: Are you going to embrace your whole self? Are you going to have memories and associations while watching this performance that have this potential for transforming your way of being and thinking in the world? Connect with Sara… Facebook * Twitter * YouTube * Instagram * Facebook Group ButohChicago Websites:  www.saratonin.com www.butohchicago.com   We can be anything at any time through our creative thought process. ~Sara Zalek   Show Notes Galore: http://www.thecreativeimpostor.com/030 Magic Page!

“Think of it like Game of Thrones — Oh, look, that person has more power or influence than I do… great! I'll just kill him.” ~Edwin Ruiz, on comparison & competition Since comparing ourselves to others always makes us feel bad, WHY do we do it?! This episode was inspired by my conversation in Episode 14 with travel blogger and creative entrepreneur, Beth Santos, founder & CEO of Wanderful and The Women in Travel Summit! Facebook * Twitter * LinkedIn * Periscope * Instagram * Tumblr  “…when we compare, we undermine the fact that each of us [is] on a unique journey and that—even though it looks like we're sharing space in a world together—each and every one of us are only experiencing exactly what is helping us to evolve in the fastest amount of time. So, when we're comparing, we are really abandoning our own journey and looking at what other people have to decide what's missing from our lives.” ~Matt Kahn, author of Whatever Arises, Love That.    Show Notes Galore: http://www.thecreativeimpostor.com Magic Page!
