Can you answer these two questions: "Who am I?" "What matters to me?" If not, you're likely experiencing what Monica calls "a misplacement of identity." This is what happens when we place our worth, our value, and our "sense of self" on the things we do, the way we look, our achievements, our roles, instead of who we deeply, truly are.   A strong identity is the foundation to all the work we do at About Progress. It's the filter through which we know how to direct our choices, ways we can work on our growth, and how to be strong enough to face both the circumstances and the choices we face on a daily basis.   Listen to this special episode where Monica shares her own story of "a misplacement of identity," how it started with good intentions but over the years led to her feeling lost and stuck in her own life, and what she did to uncover her identity again.  And how this changed everything.   This episode is the introductory lesson to Monica's new, foundational course, "Finding Me."

In this week's episode, I’m speaking with Sabrina Moyle.  Sabrina is one half of the founding team at Hello!Lucky, a whimsical brand that got its start in letterpress stationery.  Sabrina tells us the story of how she and her sister, Eunice James, founded Hello!Lucky, built it into a vertical stationary business- then pivoted into licensing, signing on with Laura Becker at Moxie and Company.  This pivot allowed them to re-allocate their energy out of production management and into extending their brand into new categories and markets including childrens publishing, bedding, and textiles.  Their best-selling childrens books including My Mom is Magical, and My Dad Is Amazing, and Potty Power, feature an adorable cast of characters who are in the early stages of  to becoming their own individual series of books, toys, and playful consumer products-- evolving Hello Lucky’s licensing even further- into a character licensing powerhouse.  This episode is brought to you by our partner, Flowhaven.  For more information, visit Flowhaven.com to request a demo.  Our music was composed by Pleasant Pictures Music Club, thank you Pleasant Pictures! 

Episode 2: Anita Castellar, CEO of Fangirl Consulting and Brand Management The force is strong with this one!  If you’ve built a lightsaber at a Disney Park- including Galaxy’s Edge- you can thank Anita Castellar for the experience.  Anita has spent her career telling the story of Star Wars through merchandise and experiences built for loyal fans in roles at Disney, Hasbro, and Lucas Film.  Now, as CEO of Fangirl Consulting and Brand Management, she is building a licensing agency that understands and unlocks fandom of all kinds- including fans of ODB- that’s right, Ol Dirty Bastard of the Wu-tan Clan!

007 Show Description - Imperfection, Dammit Happy birthday, Peggy . . . four months late! This a mostly unedited episode, with lots of lip (and lick!) smacking, recorded at the Grand America Hotel in Salt Lake City. Since Mary’s husband Allen has come on board as an editor and producer, you’ve been spared the details of one of Mary’s messy running incidents. Find out what almost made Peggy “lose her Jesus” at the Phantom of the Opera, which Netflix show is making up for it, and which coconut lotion is Mary’s favorite. Unfortunately, because of the struggles with how long it has taken to get the podcast episode out, and with the way Bath & Body Works turns over its fragrance line-up like the changing of the wind, it’s already been discontinued. But if you’d like a spreadsheet, let us know.Peggy reminds us (with the help of our friend Brené Brown) that we don’t need to be perfect. This podcast is a reminder of how human we are, and we hope you’ll keep listening anyway. Mary’s ninja warrior friend Kolina (check her out on Instagram @nikolina610) is a great example of showing up and making positive changes in your life.Peggy also presents an extensive list of her favorite songs, including plenty of Waylon. Freaking. Jennings. Thanks to BenSound and Pleasant Pictures for our music. And thank YOU for listening! See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

008 Show Description Float OnBrace yourselves--it’s time for a fresh and fabulous discussion about the parade float that stole Mary’s soul. Peggy suggests starting a “Go Fund Me” so we actually have lives that don’t involve children’s television. We don’t love planning dinner, we do love potatoes (“all russets, all the time”) and trashy reality t.v., and we can probably live without Pretty Bird.Mary talks about lessons learned from her volunteer work on a float for the 2018 Days of ‘47 parade. She learned a lot, but is not anxious to repeat the experience. We are celebrating Peggy’s daughter Lizzy coming home from Girl Scout camp and Ben’s singing a new primary song. Mary also returns the favor to Peggy by giving her a list of her favorite (pre-Delta) Mumford & Sons songs.Huge thanks to BenSound and Pleasant Pictures for our background and intro music. And thank you, our lovelies, for listening! See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Season 1, Episode 006: Sing Your Heart OutPSA: there is a LOT of singing on this episode. There is a discussion on suicide. And there are also quite a few interruptions from Mary’s son Benji, who really loves crackers. All in all, this is a rather rough episode to listen to. It’s a good discussion, but it’s definitely okay to skip this one.We get on our soapbox about Kate Spade and Anthony Bourdain, 13 Reasons Why, and other aspects about suicide. Peggy is loving a certain Pathway, and Mary is loving certain podcasts (like Sam Jones’ Off-Camera).Mary LOVES concerts, and gives a review of some great shows she saw recently. She also gives a diatribe on concert etiquette, which basically boils down to this: don’t be an a-hole.The songs we are loving are Gangsta’s Paradise by Coolio (and, of course, Amish Paradise by Weird Al), Lights of Home by U2, and Secrets by P!nk.Thanks to BenSound and Pleasant Pictures for our music.

It’s okay to be nice to yourself! You are worth investing in (also, please check out the “Awesome with Alison” podcast!). We’re celebrating Mental Health Awareness, and our favorite songs this week are “Barbies” by P!nk, “Take Me Home” by Phil Collins, and Frente’s cover of “Bizarre Love Triangle.” We hope you feel fine and you feel good!Also, a big thanks to bensound.com and Pleasant Pictures for the music.
