I’ve brought my whole person into my company and my whole person to myself.” -Dana Pulis “Intentional living--that’s built in time, that’s built in structure, that’s built in self-care habits that allow you to show up as your best self.” -Sara Hughes-Zabawa “Really good thinking comes forward in the right time when you’ve invested in it.” -Dana Pulis “It’s just another day in this amazing paradise.” -Dana Pulis “If we do these things long enough, they flow through us and we are one with what we do everyday.” -Dana Pulis “I don’t believe I can be harmed anymore in most respects because I learned to carry with me my own safety and my own peace.” -Dana Pulis “If there is no exposure or experience with failure or deep disappointment we aren’t as practiced in it.“ -Sara Hughes-Zabawa We can’t control how other people show up, but we can choose our boundaries, and we can choose how much energy we allow them to take from us.” -Sara Hughes-Zabawa “Nurture yourself, fill your brain with the good things. Learn on a daily basis how to navigate through every place where there is conflict and contrast.” -Dana Pulis “Clear the deck: rage if you need to rage, let fear fly if it needs to fly. Whatever that emotion is, give it the place and the space and honor it.” -Dana Pulis “If I encounter a difficult situation in my day, if I feel emotion coming through, I will just tell myself hang tight, put it in the parking lot, we’ll catch it tomorrow.” -Dana Pulis “The biggest tool to change my thinking is delete or cancel or forgive the belief I have that is driving the results I don’t want. By doing that, I tell my brain, let go of that. I tell my brain we’re going to delete this thinking or this program and we’re going to fill it with this new program.” -Dana Pulis “Allow all of yourself to show up.” -Dana Pulis “The person who makes a mistake is the person who does something great.” -Andrea Bachman Meet Guest: Since launching her marketing and communications firm, Kinetic, in 2007 Dana Pulis has focused on moving businesses forward through creative marketing communications.

Kick off your new year by trading in fear for creativity and comparison for curiosity. In episode 5 of season 3 of the Fearless Self-Love Podcast, I interview artist, teacher, and creative coach, Jenny Bevill. Jenny’s career and personal life have taught her time and again how healing and essential creativity is, not just for artists, but for everyone. “Everybody wants to be creative,” she says. The problem is, we often feel we’re not good enough or don’t have certain skills. Listen in for tricks to peak your own curiosity and ultimately bolster your own creativity. How fear prevents us from being creative Why curiosity is the basis of creativity How to use your own personal connection to cultivate creativity Links Mentioned: Reggio Emilia https://www.reggioalliance.org/ Kylin O’Brien https://www.kylinobrien.net/ Kylin O’Brien Interview Season 1 Episode 19 https://www.groundedhere.com/season-1 Jamie Wyman https://www.jamiewymanmusic.com/ Jamie Wyman Interview Season 1 Episode 22 https://www.groundedhere.com/season-1 Kiki Smith’s Wolf Girl https://www.artnet.com/auctions/artists/kiki-smith/wolf-girl Jenny’s Website: https://jennybevillcreative.com/ Show Highlights: 01:29 Easeful Living Practice ~ Reggio Emilia’s Emotional Continuum 13:25 Interview with Jenny Bevill begins!

Is it getting in the way? 28:55 Jenny’s creative process ~ what lights her up 37:16 How Jenny helps people find their creativity Favorite Quotes: “When I’m feeling overwhelmed, I need to do something about it.” -- Jenny Bevill “We can’t try to feel amazing all the time. That’s just not human, and it’s going to take so much energy, and it’s just not possible.” -- Jenny Bevill “Everybody wants to be creative.” -- Jenny Bevill “Art is way bigger than ‘can you copy something realistically?’” -- Jenny Bevill “To live a creative life we must lose our fear of being wrong.” -- Joseph Chilton Pearce “If you’re fearful you really can’t learn, and you can’t be creative.” -- Jenny Bevill “If you never fail, you never learn to be resilient.” -- Jenny Bevill What stops people is they think [creativity] is one thing, and that one thing doesn’t work for them, so then they think they’re not creative.” -- Jenny Bevill Meet Jenny: Jenny Bevill is passionate about creating shared experiences for children and adults around works of contemporary art. Her workshops help people unlock their own creativity by silencing their fearful inner critic and practicing creative behaviors and cultivating curiosity. Jenny began collaborating with NYC public school teachers to integrate visual arts into the classroom in 1992. Before joining the Guggenheim Museum’s Learning Through Art program in 2004, she worked with the Brooklyn Museum, Grand Street Settlement, and other cultural organizations, both as an artist and as an educator. She earned her BFA from Parsons School of Design and her MA in Art and Art Education from Teachers College, Columbia University.

I found an old copy of her book at a garage sale or thrift store.That’s what I was looking at this fall. I changed it up a bit like I didn’t use tofu chickpeas Using it as inspiration because I have been more attracted to following a recipe I think it is maybe because I think this season of such intense change that I’m craving stability and almost instruction simplicity of being able to follow something, instead of everything being self-generated all of the time! It takes a lot of energy! I have up-teem business ideas! I love being creative! I start things and love doing things!

(https://www.groundedhere.com/tea) Fearless Self Love Podcast with Andrea Catherine (https://www.groundedhere.com/) Tuesday July 17, 2018 ~ Mike’s Birthday ~ The day we have gotten the most downloads ever?! And I put up 3 episodes of my friend Marisa cooking and today Andrea Catherine is here! Great to be here! IT’s been an interesting season for me. I’ve been going through lots of change especially with my work situation ~ I realized last night I made a real meal that wasn’t just fried eggs, toast with sautéd vegetables and mushrooms. So if there are listening who feel stuck but who haven’t cooked and get into that judgy place, I do too. normally cooking is my go to my go to, and savior for me, so I know that I’ve been in a hard spot refreshing to make a warm meal: lentils rice cabbage I shared last time It was really good so I feel like this is an invitation to comeback anyone who feels like they are in that stalling place Summertime I think that it is because it’s summertime, in Montana things are kind of different in Montana in the summer because we have those long days, so its almost like thre is a whole day after work, and also it gets really hot! Plus we’re kind of in that in between phase where there is not much ready besides green, we’re just waiting for carrots, and beets etc. Absolutely I know for me, I get absorbed into summer mode then I’m hungry really It’s just finished definitely not the time of year it is. Greens last time we talked about cabbage, I mentioned Napa Cabbage which is an Asian green. Sometimes I find that these vegetables I did not have growing up as a kid are the most delicious and satisfying. In addition to Napa Cabbage, bok choy tat soi are ones I love. Tat Soi It’s very similar like any leafy greens lots of vitamin C immune system eyes and skin nourish things that can get overheated eyes and skin what I love about it It’s easy to eat raw or cooked Bok Choy the stems are thicker and I am less likely to peel one off and eat it raw Some people listening might be like who is this? If you hang out with a lot of a farmers! I would go to these farmer gatherings and these people would work so hard You would think they are gonna have meat and heavier vegetables on their plate and you get on line and they have a plate of greens! Appreciation for greens! late night tired greens salads are perfect this time of year give us a lot of what we need salads Tat Soi cooking cook like bok choy share a recipe Margaret Beck who is working with me spicy thai tat soi kick do it this way You can always change the spices cooking tip I love often I look at the recipe as the skeleton or framework that gives me the idea except for like lentils and pasta Wait, wait, because you mentioned that like two times, lentils and pasta is like an Italian meal, what did you do cook them in the same water? I guess I just need the right recipe french lentils IDK what kind of pasta macaroni IDK, everything was overcooked and mushy I need a little lesson in Italian cooking, but for me it was a bad experience… Jackie had to get the timer for Mike’s Birthday Cake. Is Tat Soi, a green? Like a lettuce? I thought it came in spring mix. by itself it looks like a mini – bok choi lighter lighter and a little crisper spicy thai topping for your tat so share it I think what happens in the summer Fourth of July birthdays gatherings eat a lot of spicy food that doesn’t always pair with our digestive system in a gentle way not a mustard green or bitter green adding water element naturally without being pungent I like the idea of having spicy but having this cooling element in...

Tuesday MAY 8, 2018 and Certified Ayurvedic Health Counselor Andrea Catherine is here to share with us her recipe for cooking Bok Choy. What’s cooking? (https://www.groundedhere.com/tea) (https://www.groundedhere.com/fearless-self-love-retreats) Farmer’s Market is live I taught yoga in the morning, needed food, as I walked out and thought ah! I told some farmers I’m gonna buy them out! So excited! I had so much food that I bought at the grocery store it didn’t make sense to drive there. I know that Raven Ridge Farms (http://www.growravenridge.com) had some Baby Bok Choy! Bok Choy! One of my favorite things I describe it as a mixture between butter and celery butter on your celery not what I mean I love bok choy because it has this rich consitency It’s good raw I like it grilled or in the oven My favorite way is to cook it braised and curried bok choy adding curry spices tumeric black pepper himalyaned pink salt til they’re aromatic toss those spices one or two bunches of bok choy Take those leaves and leave them whole place the spiced choy in a warm skillet or do it on the grill 1-3 minutes on each side till their tender, grill is nice! another way to enjoy spices so simple another way to enjoy those spices i mentioned before you can use just salt and pepper bok choy pick it up and eat the whole leaf eating with your hands can’t get in the garden to grow food it’s an excuse to eat with our hands get that tactile sense eat it alone layer it in your eggs Benedict put it on your hamburger might bite down I prefer to eat it alone definitely one of my favorite vegetables has some cool nutritional benefits bone growth Vitamin A beat off bacteria healthy vision love this vegetable! excited that it’s already here! I think my mom always put bok choy on stir fry or Chinese food. Does it taste like cabbage? Kind of tastes like cabbage but richer, has that buttery taste! buttery on it’s own at the base at the bottom it’s thicker juicy cook it you get that quality you don’t get with kale or cabbage maybe with a Napa cabbage Chinese cabbage baby bok choy smaller easier to work with I wonder what it’s like to grow that? You just get one head per seed that your growing more like a cabbage in that way It is so good! Especially right now while people are fighting allergies fighting off some of that bacteria right now Great time of year to visit the farmer’s market and see how you can nourish yourself could use it to make Chinese food meal chop it and put it in a salad I was gonna ask can you eat it raw? Absolutely Yeah! slice it real thin put it in your salad kind of like a cucumber texture! I hope people will see it at the farmer’s market and support their Local famers. I think as we go through pull up some recipes (http://thewickedgoodfarm.com) Brooke suggested I contact you originally recipes keep up with I’d be curious to hear how other people prepare Bok Choy or what they got at the farmer’s market! If you’ve been enjoying hearing about food? I’ve been eating so much healthier. I hope if listeners are a market farmer they’ll share these tips with their customers!

If you’ve been following along with Season One of this podcast, or even if you just saw the name “Fearless Self-Love Podcast,” it’s pretty clear that we focus on topics of self-love and self-care. But it’s important to acknowledge that we’re all at different points in our self-love journeys, and sometimes it can be difficult to figure out where to start. I’m excited for you to join me in my conversation with Cate Stillman, Yoga Health Coach, as we wrap up Season One by discussing what comes first - the habits or the self-love - and how to move forward no matter where we are in our journey.
