A Long Weekend in Kelowna, British Columbia - Kelowna to Osoyoos: Wine Country, Lakeside Strolls & the Nk'Mip Desert Cultural CentreThis week on the Winging It Travel Podcast, I'm sharing a relaxing but adventure-packed Easter weekend getaway in Kelowna and Osoyoos, located in the heart of British Columbia's stunning Okanagan Valley. If you're dreaming about a scenic road trip filled with vineyard views, coffee shop gems, and meaningful cultural experiences, this episode is for you.We based ourselves in downtown Kelowna, staying at the centrally located Royal Anne Hotel, and explored everything from lakeside trails to vibrant cafes and local eateries. Then we hit the road to visit Vernon, the desert-like town of Osoyoos, and the powerful and educational Nk'Mip Desert Cultural Centre, where I share my honest reflections about Canada's colonial history and the importance of Indigenous learning spaces.From sipping wine at Frind Winery next to the beach, to an epic brunch at Eatology, to sipping third-wave espresso at Slow Side Coffee, this weekend was the perfect mix of downtime and discovery. I also dive into travel costs, local transport tips, and why Kelowna might just be your next affordable getaway from Vancouver.Here's what you'll discover in this episode:

Josh Sigurdson reports on the ground in Kelowna, British Columbia as the city is redesigned in the image of the World Economic Forum's agenda. While the idea is to "save the climate," the reality is far more nefarious as roads are closed across the city as well as countless other towns and cities across Canada and the United States, exactly as we saw on the ground in Oxford, UK in 2023. Oxford was one of the first places to bring in 15 Minute Cities alongside Cambridge. We documented the surveillance network on the ground there at the time as a technocratic grid was constructed. Roads are closed, restaurants are moved into the roads and people are tantalized by convenience, the guise under which tyranny is established. They don't want you driving cars. They want you dependent on government transportation. They want you dependent on grocery stores and their rations under the newly established CBDC system attached to digital IDs and social credit. Both sides of the political paradigm are bringing this in, including President Donald Trump and Elon Musk as contracts go out for Palantir. Beware the Trojan Horse. In this video, we break down what we've seen on the ground and the latest news leading to this global agenda. Stay tuned for more from WAM!

Is there something that you need to just leave behind? Changing directions from running a public relations business to event hosting hasn't been easy. I've had plenty of ups and downs (and emotions) throughout the process. But the path to success isn't a straight line. The real path is full of redirections. A pivot isn't an easy switch. It's a bold move to help you avoid burnout or continuing in a business that's not right for you. Don't worry about who you're disappointing or what you've invested in your business already. In this episode, you will learn about: Signs that it's time for you to pivot, and a perspective to help you with it. My story of building a PR agency and why I stayed the course when I shouldn't have. Why you shouldn't wait for permission to pivot (you already have it). The top reason we resist pivoting and why it's a fallacy. Why you should make the move you want to—even if you think people are watching. A simple reframe to help you adapt to the changes you're stepping into. How your clients or customers will let you know it's time to pivot.   Today's episode is brought to you by LinkedVA.

What if I told you that the most successful entrepreneurs aren't the ones who hustle hardest, but the ones who master their energetic frequency? My guest Anna Lozano proved this when she scaled Love Powered Co from a kitchen table idea to a successful exit—but here's the plot twist: her biggest transformation happened AFTER she sold. Anna shares the raw truth about identity loss post-exit, why sitting in "the void" is actually where all possibility lives, and how she's now calling in million-dollar months through nervous system regulation and feminine magnetism rather than masculine force. If you're ready to build a business that feels as good as it looks, this episode will completely shift your approach to success.In this episode, you'll learn:[1:49] How Anna scaled Love Powered Co from startup to exit and why alignment mattered more than just the numbers[17:41] Why your emotional well-being is directly tied to your financial success and how to regulate your nervous system for abundance[19:53] The truth about sitting in "the void" - why it's not punishment but the portal to pure possibility[26:10] How to expand your nervous system to hold bigger visions (like million-dollar months) before you have evidence[43:07] Practical tools for calling in your next level: visualization, breathwork, and using AI for manifestationHere are the resources mentioned in the show:Follow @_annalozano on InstagramAnna Lozano's WebsiteThe Pink Skirt Project Event, June 12, 2025 in Kelowna, BC (Use code TRACY2025 for 10% off tickets)Join the waitlist for Desire AIAre you enjoying the podcast?

We're excited to introduce our brand new spin-off format: Hyphaedelity (which will ironically be somewhat lower-fi than our usual output).Here's the deal: Hyphaedelity is our experiment in chatcasting, but with a twist. On each episode, we're inviting a past guest from Future Ecologies to conduct their own interview, and bring us all along to sit in on their conversation.We wanted to see what would happen if we chased some of threads outwards from the dense tangle of ideas usually on display in our main episodes, and to be a little looser with it — not having to worry about pesky things like narrative clarity, or scoring, or sound design.This inaugural episode brings together Sarah Jim (of Scales of Change, Chapter 6) and Lucas Glenn, to discuss Lucas's ecologically engaged art practice as the former artist-in-residence for the city of Kelowna.Let us know what you think about this new format! We've got a wide array of conversations heading your way, and we hope you enjoy going a little off-trail with us.Works mentioned:Seed Bomb Recipe and 9 StatementsPepaken HautwM.A.S.S.I.V.E.Compost Cycles for Island XThe Wild RideWant to catch Hyphaedelity (and all episodes of Future Ecologies) early? futureecologies.net/join

Ever wondered what kind of mindset successful people have and how it helps them meet their goals? It sounds simple, but believing that you can is fundamental to actually bringing the things you want into reality. Your beliefs, and your belief system, are the foundation for all your achievements. There's an endless amount of tactics and strategies you can implement, but without the right mindset shift behind them, you'll feel stuck. When you begin to identify as the person who achieves the outcome, everything changes. In this episode, you will learn about: How your thoughts contribute to your outcomes (and what to do about it). The airport experience that humbled me, and what it taught me. Why tactics and productivity hacks alone are not enough to make it. Why willpower is not the most important aspect of reaching your goals. The fundamental mindset shift that could change everything for you. Examples of identity shifts that create success. How “I Am” statements can help you reshape your mindset. Why recognizing old beliefs is just as important as integrating new ones.   Today's episode is brought to you by LinkedVA.

Get the confidence to pursue your most daring ideas. The Pink Skirt Project event is coming up, and I've been reflecting on how this movement came to be. In this episode, I'm sharing the clairvoyant download I had that sparked the idea back in 2017, and everything that happened since then over the years to eventually bring this to life. This experience has taught me that if you have passion, drive, and conviction, you don't need to know the process every step of the way. The Pink Skirt Project is about creating a safe space for women and female entrepreneurs to share their stories, give advice, and be cheerleaders for each other. In this episode, you will learn about: How The Pink Skirt Project started in 2017 with a clairvoyant download. The trip where I first saw the exact pink skirt that was in my vision. Where I was at this time in my life—and what sat as a reminder in my closet since. The idea that first started to form for the project and why it just didn't feel right. How the path you need to take reveals itself (and you don't have to figure it all out). What you can expect at this transformative summit, and what makes it unique. What The Pink Skirt Project represents and embodies.   Today's episode is brought to you by LinkedVA. Transform your business growth with expert virtual team members who handle your essential tasks.

In 2005 Courtney Kocak was a “merch girl” on the Girls Gone Wild tour bus. She doled out the swag, T-shirts, thongs, drinks, to help get the GGW parties started. The GGW party on wheels rolled through places like Red Deer, Banff, Kelowna, and promised small town kids a “wild” time. By the time the tour was over Courtney and the bus crossed back across the border with boxes of release forms and video of marketable footage of young Canadian women flashing their breasts at the camera and having sex with each other. Courtney has been processing this experience ever since. Was it fun? Was it coercive? Was it even legal? Was she exploited or was she the exploiter? Or was it all of the above?

What do you do when life throws you off course in the middle of your next big launch or business move? In today's raw and real episode, Jackie pulls back the curtain on what it means to keep showing up when everything behind the scenes is shifting — from navigating a loving but painful separation to building a $100M tapping app, stepping into a new high-level mastermind, and holding space for massive expansion, all at once. You'll hear about the spiritual energy of the season, the 40-day vessel-building principle from Kabbalah teacher David Ghiyam, and why this specific time (Taurus/Iyar) is designed for transformation, healing, and acceleration. Jackie also shares the story of a client whose launches were repeatedly sabotaged by a reoccurring emotional pattern — and how one tapping session freed her to finally move forward. This episode is both a powerful reminder and a practical toolkit for how to lead with grace, show up with truth, and sell with soul — even when life feels like it's rearranging everything. If you're navigating a personal storm, this conversation will feel like a breath of fresh air and a call to rise.

A Sermon for the Third Sunday after Easter St. John 16:16-22 by William Klock On Easter morning we heard St. John's account of the empty tomb.  How Mary Magdalene had come running to the house where he and Peter and the others were hiding.  How she sobbed out that someone had taken Jesus' body.  How he and Peter ran to the tomb as dawn was breaking and how they found it empty, with the linen graveclothes lying there neatly.  And we heard John say that “he believed”.  Somehow…inexplicably…Jesus had risen from the dead.  John believed in the resurrection of the dead.  They all did.  It was their hope.  But it wasn't supposed to happen like this.  Maybe it was fear, maybe it was confusion, maybe he just wanted to be more certain, but he didn't say anything.  They went back to the house where the other disciples were.  They went back into hiding.  Doors locked, windows shuttered, no lights, no fire.  When things blew over, they could sneak out of Jerusalem, slink back to Galilee.  Maybe they could go back to their old lives and everyone would forget that they'd been followers of Jesus. But then the next week we read from John's first epistle.  We read those words: Everything that is fathered by God conquers the world.  This is the victory that conquers the world: our faith!  That doesn't sound like the same John afraid to even tell his friends that he believed Jesus had been raised from death.  And last week we read from Peter's first epistle and he exhorted us to bear patiently with suffering.  Peter went from hiding behind locked doors on Easter to boldly preaching the risen Jesus in the temple court just fifty days later.  He would eventually find himself proclaiming that gospel in Rome itself, where he would be martyred for that holy boldness.  What happened? Brothers and Sisters, hope happened.  Jesus, the risen Messiah, appeared to them in that locked room.  They saw him, resurrected and renewed and yet still the same Jesus with the scars of the cross in his hands and feet.  They saw Jesus risen from the dead.  Not a ghost, not a spirt, but Jesus bodily raised.  It wasn't supposed to happen that way.  It was supposed to be everybody all at once, not just one person even if he was the Messiah.  But there he was, proving the old doctrine of the Pharisees and the Prophets and their fathers true—just not the way they expected.  But even that's not so much what motivated them to leave their hiding places and to proclaim the risen Jesus to the world.  It's what Jesus' resurrection meant.  Because Jesus' resurrection was more than just an astounding miracle.  Jesus' resurrection was the proof that God's new world had been born, that new creation had begun, that the promises he made through the prophets and the hopes of God's people were being fulfilled.  Jesus' resurrection meant that the hopes of God's people were finally becoming reality.  Jesus had kindled God's light in the midst of the darkness and they knew the darkness would never overcome it.  But as they worked this out, they also realised that while Jesus had inaugurated this new creation, it would be they—Peter, John, Mary, the others, you and I—who would carry and announce God's new creation to the world.  Again, this hope, made real, made manifest in the resurrection of Jesus, is what sent the disciples out, not just to announce that God had performed a miracle in raising Jesus, but to announce the God's new creation had been born and that Jesus is its king—and if that proclamation cost them everything, even if it got them killed—they knew that God would raise them and that he would vindicate them, just as he had Jesus. Nothing else changed.  They were hiding in that locked and darkened house because—usually—when the authorities crucified a rebel or a revolutionary, they would also round up and crucify his followers.  As it turned out, it doesn't seem that anyone was seriously interested in doing that to Jesus' disciples.  But they didn't know that.  The real danger came when they went out and began proclaiming the good news about Jesus—as they challenged the false gods and the pretend kings of the darkness with the light of the Lord Jesus, as they confronted this fallen world and its systems with God's new creation.  That's when they were mocked, beaten, arrested, and martyred. Think of Paul.  He was one of the one's breathing threats against Jesus' disciples.  He was there looking on while Stephen was stoned, holding coats so people could better throw stones at him.  And then as Paul was on his way to round up Christians to bring them before the Jewish authorities, he was met by the risen Jesus.  And, again, it wasn't just an amazing miracle that inspired Paul to take up his own cross and to follow Jesus—to follow Jesus and to be beaten, stoned, imprisoned, and eventually murdered for the sake of the gospel.  It was hope.  It was what the resurrection of Jesus meant.  Jesus, risen from the dead, was proof of God's faithfulness and proof that his promises of forgiveness and new life and new creation and of humanity and creation set to rights—everything the Jews (and Paul!) had hoped and longed for—it was proof that it was all true and that it was coming true in Jesus.  The light has come into the darkness and the darkness has not and never will overcome it.  It was proof that if we are in Jesus the Messiah, we have a share in God's new creation and that no amount of suffering and not even death can take that away.  People aren't going to risk their lives to report a miracle.  What drove Peter, John, Paul—and all our brothers and sisters since—what drove them to risk everything to proclaim the good news was the knowledge, the assurance, the hope that through that proclamation God's promised new creation would overcome the darkness, the sadness, the tears—that it would make all the sad things of this broken world come untrue—for them and eventually for everyone who believes.  The kingdom would spread and grow until heaven and earth, God and humanity are at one again. All of this is what Jesus is getting at in our Gospel today from John 16.  It's from the middle of the long teaching that Jesus gave to his disciples when they were in the Garden of Gethsemane, after they ate that last Passover meal with Jesus.  Over and over Jesus exhorts them saying things like, Don't let your hearts be troubled…trust God and trust me, too.  And: I chose you, and I appointed you to go and bear fruit that will last…If the world hates you, know that it hated me before it hated you.  If you were from the world, the world would be fond of its own.  But the world hates you because you're not from the world.  No, I chose you out of the world.  And at the beginning of Chapter 16 he says to them: I've said these things to you to stop you from being tripped up.  They will put you out of the synagogues.  In fact, the time is coming when anyone who kills you will suppose that they are in that way offering worship to God…I have told you these things so that when their time comes, you will remember that I told you about them.   I expect the disciples were remembering that part of what Jesus said very well when they were hiding.  “Jesus said they'd come to kill us,” they whispered in the dark.  What they didn't remember—or at least what they didn't understand were the words we read today.  In verse 16 Jesus says: “Not long from now, you won't see me anymore.  Then again, not long after that, you will see me.”   They expected—like pretty much everyone else—that the Messiah would bring some kind of revolt or revolution.  He would overthrow the pagans and take the throne of Israel and, ruling over Israel, he would restore God's people to their rightful place and status in the world.  So it's no wonder that when they heard this, they started murmuring amongst themselves.  John goes on: “What's he talking about?” some of his disciples asked each other.  “What's this business about ‘not long from now, you won't see me, and again not long after that you will see me'?  And what's this about ‘going to the Father'?”   Maybe Jesus was going to finally do what the Messiah was supposed to do.  Maybe he was going to go gather his army and come back to battle the Romans.  John writes: They kept on saying it.  “What is this ‘not long'?”  “What's it all about?”  “We don't know what he means!”  Jesus was doing that thing again where he would say cryptic things or tell a confusing story.  It got their interest and then he could fill them in.  Jesus knew that they wanted to ask him, John says. “You're discussing with each other what I meant, aren't you?” he said.  “You want to know what I meant by saying, ‘Not long from now, you won't see me; and then again, not long after that you will see me.'  That's it, isn't it?  Well, I'm going to tell you the solemn truth.”   I can see them all stopping the whispers and leaning forward.  “Yes, Teacher.  Tell us what you mean!”  So Jesus goes on in the silence:  “You will weep and wail, but the world will celebrate.  You will be overcome with sorrow, but your sorrow will turn into joy.”  I can picture the confused looks coming back to their faces.  The Messiah was supposed to make everything all better.  He was supposed to set everything to rights and to wipe away all the tears.  The Messiah was supposed to bring an end to weeping and wailing!  So Jesus gives them an illustration they could understand: “When a woman is giving birth she is in anguish, because her moment has come.  But when the child is born, she no longer remembers the suffering, because of the joy that a human being has been born into the world.”  And then he adds in verse 22: In the same way, you have sorrow now.  But I shall see you again, and your hearts will celebrate, and nobody will take your joy from you.”   Even with the childbirth illustration, it was still pretty cryptic.  Even with what follows—which we'll come to in our Gospel for Rogation Sunday in two more weeks—even with that, the disciples really didn't understand—yet.  It was all there in the Prophets and it was all there in the things Jesus had been teaching.  The son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected by the elders, and the chief priests, and the legal experts.  He must be killed and raised up on the third day,” Jesus had said at one point.  It doesn't get much clearer than that.  And yet the events of that first Good Friday and Easter Day came as a complete surprise to them.  But then when they met the risen Jesus it all started to come back to them and it started to fall into place.  The wheels started turning.  Mental light bulbs started turning on.  The one thing left that they needed was the Holy Spirit—but I don't want to get ahead of the story.  We're still in that fifty days between Easter and Pentecost. And I think those fifty days must have been some of the most exciting days in the history of the world.  The disciples sat with Jesus—risen and glorified, the first bit of God's new creation real and tangible and true right there with them—and he taught them.  He went back over the scriptures—no doubt saying things he'd said a hundred times before—but now, in light of the resurrection, it all started to make sense.  And I can imagine their excitement growing between being there with Jesus in all his resurrected glory and as they connected the scriptural dots and as they saw how the story they had grown up with, the story they lived every year at Passover, the story that defined who they were, the story they knew so, so, so well began to unfold in a new way.  They'd always known it was a great story about the mighty and saving deeds of the Lord, but over those forty days in the presence of Jesus and hearing him teach and explain the story turned into something more glorious than they ever could have imagined.  The God they'd known became so much bigger and more glorious than they ever thought he could be.  And then it was time for Jesus to ascend and he had to tell them, “Wait.”  They were ready and eager and excited to go out into Jerusalem and Judea to start telling everyone the story—the story everyone knew, but now seen in a new and glorious light through the lens of Jesus' resurrection—and about this new hope they knew.  God's new creation had finally come and they'd spent the last forty days living in his presence.  But Jesus said, “Wait.  Your excitement about what God has done is only part of what you need.  Wait.  Just a little bit—ten more days—so I can send God's Spirit.  Couple this good news with the power of the Spirit and not even the gates of hell will stop you!” And, Lord knows, the gates of hell have tried, but the gates of hell had already done their worst at the cross, and Jesus rose victorious.  And that's how and that's why those first disciples took up their crosses and followed Jesus.  Peter was crucified at Rome, Andrew was crucified in Greece, Thomas was speared by soldiers in India, Philip was martyred at Carthage, Matthew was martyred in Ethiopia, Bartholomew in Armenia, James was stoned to death in Jerusalem, Simon was martyred in Persia, and Matthias in Syria.  Only John survived, after being exiled to Patmos.  You see, in the risen Jesus they saw the proof that sin and death have been decisively defeated, that the false gods and kings of the old evil age have been exposed, and most of all they saw that God's promised and long-hoped for new creation has been born.  The resurrection gave them hope and that hope sent them out to proclaim the good news even though it meant following in the suffering of Jesus.  And their stories have been the stories of countless Christians through the ages—of the Christians who died in the Roman persecutions, who died at the hands of the Sassanids, the Goths, the Vikings, the Caliphs, the Turks, the Kahns, the French revolutionaries, the Communists, the Islamists.  It's been the stories of countless missionaries who marched into hostile territory for the sake of the gospel, knowing they very well might die for it, but also knowing that the way of the cross is the path into God's new creation. Brothers and Sisters, too often these days we've lost sight of this.  Maybe it's the prosperity gospel, maybe it's that we haven't known any meaningful persecution for so long, but we Christians in the modern west seem to have forgotten this.  There's no room for suffering and the way of the cross in our theology.  We gloss over what look like “failures” in church history.  I was listening to a sermon this past week.  The preacher was telling the story of a missionary named Peter Milne.  Milne was a Scottish minister and part of a group that called themselves “one-way” missionaries.  When they shipped out to far off lands to proclaim the gospel, they packed their worldly goods in a coffin.  It was symbolic.  They were going out as missionaries with no expectation of ever returning home.  They would die—one way or another—in the land they went to evangelise.  Peter Milne went to the New Hebrides in the South Pacific.  It was a land of head-hunting cannibals.  Milne wasn't the first to go.  Others had gone before and were killed by the natives.  Milne was the first to go and to survive and to have a thriving gospel ministry.  When he died fifty-some years later in 1924, he was buried in his coffin with the epitaph: “When he came, there was no light.  When he left, there was no darkness.”  When he'd arrived there wasn't a single Christian on the island.  When he died, there wasn't a single person who wasn't a Christian. But here's the thing—and the preacher I was listening to completely missed it: Following Jesus means first taking up a cross.  It's not about the glory of “successful” ministry.  It's about dying to self, and living for the hope of God's glory and the spread of his kingdom.  The preacher I listened to said nothing of the others who had gone before Milne to the New Hebrides and been martyred.  They don't fit in with our prosperity and business model theology.  We admire their willingness to give their lives for the sake of the gospel, but they sort of get chalked up as failures.  But to do that is to miss what it means to follow Jesus, to know the pangs of childbirth, but to also experience the joy that makes the pain and the sorrow pale in comparison. As Tertullian said, the blood of the martyrs is the seed of the church, but so are all the other good-faith “failures”.  There was a week when we were church-planting in Portland that I found myself all alone.  Veronica's mom was sick and she and Alexandra had travelled up to Kelowna.  The other family that was helping us to get things off the ground had to be away that weekend.  It was just me.  But The Oregonian newspaper had just run a story on us.  I'd had several contacts that week.  The show had to go on.  We were meeting at a Lutheran Church on Sunday evenings, so I asked the pastor there if one of their organists could come and play that evening.  She came and she and I sat there waiting.  And 7pm came and went.  And 7:05, and 7:15 and we knew no one was coming.  I was discouraged and it was obvious.  She and I said Evening Prayer together and then she told me her story.  She and her husband, a pastor, had been Lutheran church planters in Jamaica for almost ten years.  They had a very small group that had asked them to come to help them plant a church and for ten years they tried and nothing ever happened.  When they finally decided to quit there were no more people than when they started.  She said that she and her husband found the whole thing utterly discouraging.  They had made significant sacrifices to be there and nothing had happened.  It was tempting to be angry with God.  They returned home thinking they were failures and wondering why.  They'd been faithful in proclaiming Jesus.  They'd spent hours every week in prayer with that little group of people.  And then several years later they received a letter.  It was from a pastor in Kingston.  Not long after they'd left, he'd arrived to plant a church.  His group moved into the building left behind by the Lutherans and quickly began to grow and thrive.  And he wrote to thank them.  “You soaked this place in prayer and you cast gospel seed all through the neighbourhood,” he wrote.  He didn't know why it never grew for them, but he knew they'd been faithful and he was now reaping a harvest he hadn't planted and he wanted to thank them for their faithfulness.  That elderly Lutheran organist told me that story with tears in her eyes and said, “Be faithful and don't be discouraged.  Whatever happens, if you are faithful, the Lord is at work.  Some of us plant, some of us water, some of us reap, but it's all the Lord's work.”  She reminded me of the hope that lies before me—and that lies before all of us—and that Jesus doesn't just call us to follow him; he first calls us to take up our crosses.  Just it was necessary for Jesus to give his life that he might be raised from death, so must we die to ourselves that we might live.  Brothers and Sisters, fix your eyes on Jesus.  He knew the joy that was set before him and so he endured the cross.  He scorned its shame.  And because of that the Father raised him from the dead and has seated him at his right hand.  His kingdom has been born.  Now the joy of the kingdom, of new creation, of God's life is before us.  May it be the reason that we take up our crosses and follow our Lord. Let's pray: Gracious Father, as we come to your Table this morning, give us a taste of your great kingdom feast; let us see Jesus, risen from the dead; and make us especially aware of your indwelling Spirit that we might be filled with the joy of your salvation and the joy of your new creation.  Strengthen us with joy, so that we will not fear to take up our crosses and follow Jesus.  Amen.

This is THE powerful, authority-building move you need to make. With the rise of AI, the world of self-publishing is rapidly changing and growing. It's also a process that's distinctly different in many ways from going the traditional publishing route. If you have a story in you and you want to stay in the driver's seat of your writing process, self-publishing is for you. Before you get started, remember that writing a book isn't just about making money. It's actually more beneficial to leverage the authority you build in your book to generate more income. But perhaps even greater than that, the process of writing a book will take you on an incredible self-improvement journey. In this episode, you will learn about: What self-publishing is and how it differs from going the traditional route. How to keep control of your writing process while you're creating your book. Why writing a book is an instant credibility builder, and how to leverage that. What the hardest part of bringing your own book to life is. What writing the book forces you to do and how it helps you build your skills. Why you don't need to be an expert writer to write a book yourself. The reason self-publishing is the best option, no matter how big or small the book. Mentions: www.selfpublishing.com/renee   Today's episode is brought to you by LinkedVA.

Even now, as we get closer to The Pink Skirt Project, I can see how tapping into the right connections has already brought this movement to life. It can be rewarding to accomplish something difficult, but when you do it alongside other people, it's even more meaningful. In this episode I'm sharing the type of person you should look for and how to connect with them successfully. In this episode, you will learn about: Why I was scared to focus on solo podcast episodes, and why that's changed. The partners and co-founders who made all the difference in my work. The importance of acting courageously and finding the right people to act with you. What to look for in a partner and how you'll know it's a great fit. Why it's crucial to have shared values with your business partners. What it looks like to be an equally balanced member in your business partnership. What to do before you ask someone to partner with you. Where to start if you're afraid to embark on your next journey alone.   Today's episode is brought to you by LinkedVA.

How do we make it work while raising kids and running our own businesses? In addition to our kids and businesses, I'm in the middle of launching an event that's been a dream of mine forever. Right now, it feels like we're all thriving. That said, we have a lot going on, and our success as a family comes down to a few intentional things we do. In this episode we're sharing more about our lives, including the routines and rhythms of our relationship, why we're world schooling our kids, what we fight about, and how we maintain a strong marriage through our busy lives. In this episode, you will learn about: The roles that routines and rhythms play in a healthy relationship. Why dating your partner is so important (and how to do it right). Why we've chosen to world school our kids, and what changed to make that decision. My fear of abandonment and the moment I overcame it. The personal belief Dan had to outgrow to become the man he is today. Why we fight—and how we're stronger because of it. The most impactful aspects of your life and how you upgrade yours. Who you're really in a relationship with (and what happens when you realize it). How understanding the value of our time supports our marriage.   Today's episode is brought to you by LinkedVA.

It's not always easy… “How do you do it?” is a question I often get asked. However, the people asking aren't always looking for the same answer. Some want to know how I maintain my identity, while others want to know if my level of success is attainable for everybody. Sometimes, what they're really asking is “what is it like to be the woman behind the man?” My husband Dan could not have accomplished everything he's done without me. And in that way, I am fundamentally not only his biggest cheerleader, but also a part of his success, which I'm discussing in this episode. In this episode, you will learn about: My husband's success and how it's influenced our lives together. What preserving my identity means to me and why it comes easily. How we handle power and responsibility in our relationship. How setting boundaries fortifies our relationship and keeps us on the same page. The sacrifices I've made as a partner and mom and why I'm glad in hindsight. How I've come to embrace being seen and what I've learned from it. How we handle hate comments and negativity. The times when I let my ambitions take a back seat and what makes it okay.   Today's episode is brought to you by LinkedVA.

Make this mindset shift—you ARE enough. I live a great life, but for a long time, I felt like I didn't deserve it. This is something so many women struggle with—this feeling of “not enoughness.” What I've come to realize is that this isn't by accident, but actually by design. In a world that's designed to keep women down, it's not easy to break free. As a woman, you're expected to do it all, yet you're not allowed to feel good enough about yourself to do it. It's so crucial to let go of societal expectations and define what success looks like for you so you can live the life you want, regardless of what anyone else thinks. In this episode, you will learn about: Why we stop ourselves from reaching the next level (and what we're avoiding). A woman's unique struggles in stepping into her worthiness and where it comes from. How the system profits from women not feeling like they're enough. What we get too much of (and what we're missing out on) as women. How we get stuck chasing the next milestone and why it makes us feel unworthy. What the profitable paradox is and how it impacts your business. Why you have to be careful where you get your life and business inspiration from. Where feelings of unworthiness come from and how to shift your perspective.   Today's episode is brought to you by LinkedVA.
