Hey, hey, hey! This is episode #2 of the series that I’m that I’m running over at the Midlife Schmidlife podcast called “Now More Than Ever” where I’m holding Facebook Lives on topics that I feel are important during this time of shelter in place and in turn turning them into a podcast. This week, I’m introducing you to two of my favorite humans - Lara Heacock and Jo Casey. We are in a business mastermind together and have been meeting for over two years. But this conversation isn’t just for business owners - what I’m hoping that you get out of this conversation is the fact that real connection can be made even in these trying times and this mastermind is proof. The three of us share what a mastermind is and offer ideas on starting one even if you don’t have a business. We talk how shelter in place has affected connection in our daily lives but also ways we are getting through. Plus we really dive into having connection with ourselves and what we need during this roller coaster of a time. You can find Jo Casey over at https://www.jocasey.com/ Lara Heacock at https://laraheacock.com/ and https://kindovermatter.com/. Lara also has a book on Amazon, Practical Kindness: 52 Ways to Bring More Compassion, Courage and Kindness into Your World.

Join us for the next installment of a special series of the podcast I’m calling Peace in times of uncertainty. For these episodes, I’ve invited some of my favorite past guests to join me for conversations about these unprecedented times we are living through, and to share their strategies and techniques for navigating them. In this episode, I chat with another one of my all-time favorite guests: Lara Heacock. She’s the author of Practical Kindness: 52 Ways to Bring More Compassion, Courage, and Kindness into Your World. Last time she was on the show, she instantly became one of my favorite guests. I love her mission to spread more kindness, as I truly believe it’s the most important thing we can practice in our lives. I hope these episodes are impactful, and that they remind you we are all in this together. Please enjoy my conversation with Lara Heacock.

In today’s podcast, we’ll talk about how you can leverage kindness to realize powerful results. Our guest today is Lara Heacock, a self-professed “kindness ambassador.” Lara is a certified personal and professional coach who focuses on kindness as a key to success. Before she went into coaching, Lara spent 13 years as a professional recruiter and leader. She holds a psychology degree as well as an MBA. She is the author of Practical Kindness: 52 Ways to Bring More Compassion, Courage, and Kindness into Your World.

This week, I’m delighted to have Lara Heacock joining me for the second installment of the Friendpreneur Series. This series focuses on conversations with friends, who are entrepreneurs. Many of the people are friends I’ve met either through the show (and have been on before!) or through contacts in coaching. I’ve found that starting and running a small business is something very new to many of us, who have grown up without examples of people who are entrepreneurs in our day-to-day. I had the pleasure of meeting Lara in coach training over three years ago in the Courageous Living Coaching Certification program. She’s so full of life and joy and I have loved getting to know her better, and seeing her grow her coaching practice. She’s joining me this week for the Friendpreneur Series to share about her new book - Practical Kindness, and balancing a 9 to 5 job with her coaching. We laugh, we share lots of entrepreneur tips, and I know you’ll love getting to know her. Lara and I talk about: Bringing kindness and joy to corporate settings and work Recognizing that there will always be fear in pursuing our dreams How to work with fear Holding ourselves accountable for kindness Lara’s experience in writing her new book, Practical Kindness The courage of being imperfect Creating boundaries and having difficult discussions The rise of the gig economy and how it ties in to 9 to 5 jobs Masterminds and the importance of connections as an entrepreneur Tips tricks and tools: finding a mastermind, figuring out what works for you energetically, don’t pick up your phone first thing in the morning when you wake up, and getting in touch with what you need in each moment Resources Lara Heacock’s site: Kind Over Matter Practical Kindness by Lara Heacock (on Amazon) Amazing alarm clock on Amazon Gretchen Rubin’s four tendencies framework test Emilie Wapnick’s “How to Be Everything” on Amazon Past Friendpreneur Series: Christy Tending on Self Advocacy, Going Beyond Self Care  

How many of us view self-care as selfish? And how many of us are suffering from burnout from putting our careers and other relationships before our own self-care? Notice how these questions go hand-in-hand? That’s where my guest Lara Heacock found herself in her mid-30’s and what led to her becoming a life & leadership coach with a focus on kindness. In our conversation, Lara shares her journey as a high-achieving woman and what led to her realization that self-kindness needed to be brought to the top of her to-do list. We dive into bringing forth projects into the world and celebrating our journey of self-awareness. Lara’s mission is to end burnout by using kindness and she hopes to shift the culture that glorifies burnout to one that believes self-kindness and self-care as a vehicle to success. During a 365 day challenge to bring more kindness into the world, she realized she needed to start with herself and Self-Kindness Saturday was born. WOW - who else wants to begin that practice??! Lara and I are both graduates of the 9-month intensive Courageous Living Coach Certification (her in 2014 and me in 2015). Now we are members of the Leadership Team for the program and get to hang out quite a bit throughout the year. Lara also just released a book, Practical Kindness: 52 Ways to Bring More Compassion, Courage and Kindness into Your World. The book is set up in four sections with and easy to read chapter to read each week. I can’t recommend it enough as a way to create weekly practice of bringing more positive action into your life. If you are someone who feels she constantly needs to be “on” and needs to be doing all the things, you will love this interview.
