Do you love the idea of running a retreat? This week's guest hosted her first retreat this year, and she's about to talk us through her process, from getting the idea during a meditation to planning it, filling it, running the retreat, and all the way to announcing her next retreat which happens this fall. Meet Christa Harrison, founder of Healing For Queer Healers Retreats, where she holds space for fellow queer folx. Christa is a queer therapist in private practice in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma specializing in PTSD and trauma. She's a secular therapist in a sea of folx looking for someone they can feel safe with after religious trauma. Here's some of what we talked about: How Christa realized suddenly that she wanted to create a retreat for queer healers Clarifying her vision for the retreat Getting positive feedback and making plans for rounds 2 and 3 and beyond The most intimidating parts for Christa: following through with setting up all the systems Leaving plenty of free time in the schedule Helping everyone at the retreat feel cared about Why she enjoyed her own retreat just as much as the participants did Using Squarespace for her website, email service and checkout Here are some takeaways that stand out to me: Takeaway #1: Pay attention to your spirit and listen. Christa was caring for her spirit with meditation during a very painful time when she received a clear message that she needed to create this retreat. Takeaway #2: Consider niching boldly and specifically. Christa's vision evolved from "queer affirming" to "for queer people." Think about what bold and specific niching might mean for you. Takeaway #3: Christa fought the temptation to cram the retreat schedule full, and found that people really valued free time. Imposter syndrome sometimes tells us we need to provide MORE rather than allowing valuable time and space. Show notes at http://rebeltherapist.me/podcast/158

Hi everyone! On today's episode I talk to the very knowledgable Christa who is an autistic self-advocate from Texas and runs the the internationally recognised neurodiversity lifestyle blog Neurodivergent Rebel and Instagram account @neurodivergentrebel. Christa's blog pushes for acceptance of neurological difference and respect for the autonomy of neurodivergent people. Christa also manages Neurodivergent Consulting which is a consulting agency that works with businesses “to create new policies that work to attract and increase tenure of current and future neurodivergent employees”. The philosophy of Neurodivergent Consulting is to advocate for accessible workplaces where neurodivergent employees will be able to fully implement their unique talents and fresh perspectives. The agency analyzes the policies of interested workplaces for how they tap into, or hinder, the creative power of neurodivergent employees, including how accommodating these workspaces are to the sensory and predictability needs of autistic people. We chat about: Both being diagnosed with autism and compare the process it took us to get there Christa's coaching and consulting services Autism in the workplace and how much we both hate open plan offices!

I love to work and see it as a calling, but I am also very aware that anyone can get hit by stress. And that it is not just a question of loving what you do. The number of people getting stressed has been increasing over the last years and it’s like an epidemic in the modern world, especially with all the technology which makes it possible to be available and check up on work all the time. I therefore found an expert to talk with about how to avoid a stress meltdown or how you can recover from one. I had the pleasure of talking with Christa Jørgensen who is a trained psychologist. She has worked at hospital, been a subject expert at a consultancy within stress and well-being and is now working as a psychologist and coach with companies and private individuals where she focuses on stress.

Today’s episode is all about how sleep and stress impact skin conditions, like eczema, and how before you do food elimination protocols, make sure these two areas of your health are taken care of first.   Stay tuned to the end of the episode for a series on what’s sparking joy in my life!   Today’s guest, Christa Biegler, is the host of the Less Stressed Life Podcast, author of The Eczema Relief Diet & Cookbook (available as of April 20th, 2020), and the founder of the Eczema Nutritionist, specializing in difficult skin and digestive issues. She lives with her unicycling husband & kids in the Midwest.   In this episode we discuss:  Christa’s journey to becoming a dietitian that specializes in skin conditions How eczema is traditionally treated How sleep and stress impact our immune systems and therefore our skin conditions The danger to long term food restriction in relationship to developing and having skin conditions Why food elimination protocols are not the only way to treat eczema (and not always the best choice) How Christa practices wellness without obsession   Learn more about Christa at her podcast the Less Stress Life Podcast.   This episode is brought to you by New Chapter. As a women’s health dietitian and educator, I have been on the search for my official recommendation for a prenatal vitamin for quite some time, and I am thrilled to say I finally found the one, and actually a prenatal AND postnatal vitamin- that checks all my boxes.   What’s so cool about New Chapter’s perfect prenatal vitamin is that it is fermented for better absorption with beneficial probiotics and whole foods, which also makes it easy to digest and gentle on the stomach- which if you’ve ever taken a prenatal vitamin you know that’s not always the case. Plus their new improved formula contains ginger to help combat morning sickness. It contains all the key nutrients your body needs for a growing baby, including methylfolate- which is the active form of folate I personally always recommend to my clients when they are looking for a prenatal.   And they also have a Perfect postnatal vitamin, which is what I am personally taking now. Its formulated specifically for new moms and our needs, to help us replenish nutrient stores from having a baby meaning its going to contain key nutrients like iodine, vitamin D, fermented iron as well as fermented B vitamins to support energy needs. What I think is so helpful is that it also contains herbs and plants that have been used traditionally for lactation like oats, kelp, chamomile and turmeric.   As with all New Chapter supplements and products, these prenatal and postnatal vitamins are nonGMO certified, made with organic whole foods and herbs and responsibly sourced. I mean I could it get any better, I don’t think so!   You can purchase New Chapter prenatal and postnatal vitamins on New Chapter’s website, Whole Foods, CVS, Amazon and local health food stores.

How do you lead well from behind-the-scenes? Are there specific strategies that help you engage and care for your volunteers? And how can the collaboration of Christian women change the world? In this episode, I talk with Christa Hutchins, wife, empty-nester, founder of Do A New Thing, and  volunteer for Proverbs 31 Ministries as a coordinator for online Bible studies. Christa shares her leadership journey, which includes leading from behind-the-scenes, her best practices for working with volunteers, and the importance of women supporting each other.  Whether you lead a volunteer team or run your own business, there are multiple takeaways from this conversation. Christa’s Leadership Journey: Christa grew up as the classic “bossy older sister” and held leadership positions in high school. In college, the leader of her student ministry asked Christa to lead a mission trip to Chicago, which involved planning, training, and coordinating logistics. This was the first time someone had called out leadership qualities in her.  However, because she was planning a wedding, Christa was unable to go.  In her career as a chemical engineer, Christa led large teams at work. To her, leadership meant authority, but when she volunteered at church, she began to see the cracks in that philosophy. When she became an empty-nester, Christa asked God where He wanted her. He led her to volunteer at Proverbs 31 Ministries hosting an online Bible study. Volunteering there was a change of pace from her male-dominated work environment, and it made Christa nervous. As she volunteered at Proverbs 31, she began to see a different type of leadership: servant leadership. She began to learn how to put people before projects, how to serve God by serving others, and how to still be herself. With her business, Christa helps bloggers and creative women set up structures and processes to achieve their goals. Through Do A New Thing, she takes her project management skills and helps creative women with their big ideas. There are all different types of leadership, and for Christa, the most foundational is self-leadership.  Christa’s Mentors From Melissa Taylor, the director of online Bible studies at Proverbs 31 Ministries, Christa has learned to become a student of leadership. She’s also learned how to give grace, to put people before projects, and not to give up when there’s conflict.  How Christa Embraced her Wiring as a Leader: Christa never related to personality assessments like the Meyers-Briggs or DISC Profile because she never liked the person they described her to be. However, she loves the Strengths Finder system because she’s learned the benefits of her strengths and feels more confident in them.  She does get frustrated when she knows that she needs to put people before project, but just can’t do it. Her strength of responsibility doesn’t mean that she’s responsible for everything, that she can wait to be asked to help. Christa has learned to embrace her wiring because she understand how her wiring fits with other people and how each person plays in a role to work together well. As she embraces all parts of her personality, she’s learning how to embrace other people’s personalities as well. How Christa figured out her gifts One of Christa’s gifts is taking messy things and bringing structure to them. She figured out this was a gift when she saw the peace it brought to others. When she structured, planned, and organized for herself, she feels compulsive. When she uses this gift for others, it brings peace to her heart and to the lives of others.  Christa shares that it’s hard to recognize our own gifts because they seem so normal to us. Not until you use your gift and see how God uses it to help others, do you understand your giftings. Christa’s Advice for Younger Leaders: Don’t expect perfection from yourself. It only limits your leadership. Instead, recognize, own, and make mistakes! Study leadership. Christians like Craig Groeschel and John Maxwell are excellent resources.     Christa’s Message to the World Leadership can feel very lonely. Christa strives to come alongside people and help them connect. Leaders and creatives can hit an emotional or skills wall. Because you don’t want people to think you’re weak or incapable, you often don’t connect with those who could help you. Christa’s Advice for Working with Volunteers Christa is both a volunteer and works with large volunteer teams. Here are her best practices in working with volunteers: It’s easy to promote the loudest, most bossy person. However, what’s most important is whether this potential volunteer is passionate about and understands what you’re doing for God. The #1 criteria to look for in a volunteer is to look for someone coming alongside you to achieve the same mission you want to achieve, not coming alongside you to do a task. Establish expectations for volunteers so everyone has a clear understanding of the role. Look for people who aren’t wired like you and can fill in your gaps. Christa’s Habits for Effectiveness Christa uses a paper planner to record what’s been done and to make plans. She uses the calendar on her phone for appointments. She has 4 to 5 to-do lists, one for each category, i.e. volunteer to-do list, business to-do list, etc. She looks at her to-do lists and determines the top three activities she’ll get done, and puts those on a sticky note stuck on the corner of her laptop. Christa wants to “pre-decide” what she’ll do in her time so she doesn’t end up scrolling Facebook.  Christa’s book recommendation: Developing the Leader within You by John Maxwell* In a team environment, a great idea is for each person to read a chapter and then give a 5-minute report back to the group.   Key quotes from the episode: “God taught me early on that as the leader, I don’t have to be the do-er.”  “It all starts with self-leadership.” “God is raising up women to work together.” “You don’t have to do this alone.” “Nobody expects you to be perfect and if they do, you’re probably in the wrong place.” “Making mistakes means that you are growing.” “You have to study to be a leader.” “Women can bond together and be a formidable force for Him.” Connect with Christa Hutchins  Website Instagram Facebook Christa is giving away a free month of accountability coaching PLUS two free printables, “Top 10 Productivity Tips for Go-Getter Jesus Girls” and “The First 10 Things Your New Volunteer Needs to Know.”  To enter to win the free coaching and to get the freebies, go here.
