Our feature today is The Magic of Groundhog Day by Paul Hannam, a book exploring the classic 1993 movie Groundhog Day, starring Bill Murray. The two of us banter on about: How Groundhog Day = the parenting experience -- in more ways than mere repetition The mind-blowing concept of a “personal reality” + the ways it can limit us as parents/people How entitlement, approval, insecurity and control can rob us of the magic around us The Groundhog Day effect and how each of us is somehow living our own version of it How we (and our kids) all ride the DABDA roller coaster sometimes (wheee!) The power of paying attention… aka mindfulness How gratitude, repetition, acceptance and slowing down can help us break out of our personal realities to live more joyously and authentically Learn more about Paul Hannam and his new book The Wisdom of Groundhog Day by visiting www.paulhannam.com.

Big Magic is our feature today, written by the incomparable heart-warmer / spirit-challenger, Elizabeth Gilbert! We banter all about: · The magical jewels hidden in each of us, made real by becoming a parent · How to comfortably co-exist with fear · Our desire to separate our genius (or lack thereof) from our sense of self and worth · The super power that is the “arrogance of belonging” · A way to think of parenting as a devotional path to stay true to · How to embrace the grand paradox of our work being both everything and nothing · Looking at your lot in life as a tasty shit sandwich · The ways in which we can meet our destiny with good cheer and curiosity instead of martyrdom · The ever-powerful reminder to fucking LIGHTEN UP. Seriously. Or not seriously, rather.

“All of the people who come to my workshops are part of a community. Literally, we’re weaving ourselves together.”  In the age of social media, Emily Katz has a unique creative business in that she cultivates connection both online and in-person. ‘Making with’ has been an important aspect of her enterprise from the beginning, and Emily is all about networking and teaching through social media AND face-to-face interaction. So, what’s her story? How did this dual strategy develop? Emily is a creative consultant, interior designer, macramé educator, artist, and Instagram phenomenon. She creates large-scale, custom installations for the likes of Ralph Lauren and teaches macramé workshops all over the world. Emily’s creative business, Modern Macramé, provides ready-made macramé products and DIY materials for crafters and artists. The site also offers online courses in macramé for her hundreds of thousands of followers. Emily’s work has been featured in The Los Angeles Times, Elle Japan, and the London Daily Mail, among many other publications. She is currently on tour promoting her new Amazon bestseller, Modern Macramé: 33 Stylish Projects for Your Handmade Home.  Today, Emily joins me to share her decidedly nonlinear path to founding Modern Macramé, discussing her early entrepreneurial ventures in fashion and her surprising career in music videos. She explains how a desire to reconnect with her mother led her to macramé and describes her first experience teaching macramé in an impromptu class for Japanese magazine editors. I ask Emily about the role of failure in her creative life, and she offers insight around navigating serious challenges—like declaring bankruptcy—with the support of a network. Listen in for an inside look at the process of negotiating a book deal and learn how Emily blends online and in-person networking to build a community-based business!
