Happy New Year 2022! I have a special show for you today, all about the future. In this episode, you'll hear ways to be happier and bring more joy to your days so you can create a new way of being in 2022. My guest La'Vista is the founder and CEO of 31 Marketplace, an agency that helps overworked solopreneurs do what they love without sacrificing themselves and experiencing burnout. She accomplishes this by blending systemization and self-care - topics that she and her guests speak candidly about on her podcast B.O.S.S. Talk. As a burnout survivor herself, La'Vista is leading a movement of entrepreneurs who want more from life than frazzled days and sleepless nights. Her unique approach of blending strategy, implementation, and holding space for moments to breathe helps each client cultivate their own culture of work-life balance. How to Work Hard & Feel Great About Your Life Make Self Care Consistent Self-care is crucial because if you aren't in a good position to show up for yourself and your business, even systems you do have in place won't work because you're too exhausted to go through them properly. Define for yourself what self-care actually means for you. Don't look at what others consider self-care and feel you have to do it that way or it will just put https://giftbizunwrapped.com/episodes/manage-stress-in-business (more stress) on yourself. Reconnect with the things that bring you joy.  Identify what makes you happy? What lights your fire? Then figure out how to bring more of that into your day-to-day life.

Worried a little bit about how next year might go? I won't lie--I have a few reservations myself. Like, maybe we don't want to set any goals or expectations until we see the trailer lol...   But if we remember that we are really the ones in control of our own lives (because even when things happen that we can't control, we DO control how we respond), then we can grab next year by the horns and make great things happen.   In today's episode, I did an Oracle card pull for you, and you'll like the messages that come through!

Thanks for joining us on another episode of the Scale Your Small Business Podcast with your host, Jillian Flodstrom. Our guest this week is Erin Tarr, a sought-after keynote speaker, parenting consultant, host of the Fierce & Flourish Podcast, and a thought leader in the youth confidence space.   Erin's inspiration for her business comes from her experience as a tween girl herself, and now raising three girls in that space. She wanted to be for her children, but that drove her to want to help every girl she possibly could.    Erin gets to be a cheerleader in their corner. She's someone not related to them but can offer judgment-free help that can aid in problem-solving and making big decisions. She helps build habits and attitudes that will help tween girls be successful in life.    She helps girls learn how to choose their thoughts and create a life they love. She works together with her clients and their families to help build healthy habits adaptably.    Erin had a cloud of mentors growing up. It started in college, went to my first leadership conference where she heard from the likes of John Maxwell and Patrick Lencioni. By learning what their learning looked like, Erin was able to find inspiration and help everywhere. Mastermind courses are great because it isn't just videos anymore. Information is nothing without application, so being able to work through ideas alongside peers helps tremendously.  It's easy to get stuck in self-doubt. Erin's advice is to build a network of people smarter than you. Continue to aspire–how can I run in their circle? How can I learn from them? How can I be held accountable by them?    Erin's biggest win in business is when we clients win. When a person she works with gets into a college they applied for, had a difficult conversation, or otherwise, Erin feels that victory.    Losing fierceness happens, but sometimes that just means you need rest. Aside from that, return to your “why.” What's your purpose? It can be personal or world-impacting. It's about finding ways to reconnect. That means is surrounding yourself with people who remind you what your goal is.    LINKS   https://erintarr.com/   Key Takeaways   Build a network of people smarter than you. Continue to aspire. Let your client's wins be your wins. Reconnect to your “why” as often as possible.

Intentional Comfort is the theme of this season, and in this episode I'm taking inspiration from Priya Parker's Art of Gathering, and using her 3 rules of gathering to consider new ways to reconnect with what nourishes, fortifies, and supports you.  While her Ted Talk is about how to interact in groups and gatherings in new ways, I find that her rules and thoughts offer insights on how to connect with yourself, and how to determine what is meaningful to you when looking for intentional comfort. Here are the basics of what I'm covering: Don't leave it to chance This is the intentional part of things. If we leave the relationship and connection we have to and with ourselves to chance, it's far too easy to focus on the basics and logistics of life, and ignore time for self care. If you're longing for more time for yourself, or time to do thoughtful, comforting things, schedule that time in. Embrace your purpose For many of you, especially over the stretch of the pandemic, you may have developed some habits that aren't really serving you. And, while they likely did serve you for a period of time, now that we're nearly into the third year of all of this, I think the way we look at comfort and what fortifies us has likely changed. It's become super apparent that this isn't about a sprint, this is about a transition. What is the purpose, or meaning, behind setting up time for intentional comfort? How can you craft something that supports and nourishes you, as we all work through this transition together? What is the purpose of what you want to do, in finding comfort? What would meet your needs? If you're looking for an escape, what does that look like given any of your current constraints? If you're looking for peace and quiet, why? And if you dig a layer deeper, is there something you feel is missing?  Cause good controversy Priya says that “human connection is as threatened by unhealthy peace as it is by unhealthy conflict.” And, I'd add that this connection is true for gatherings as it is for the connection you and I have with ourselves.  For this, I'd ask yourself what do you need, right now? Drop any sort of “shoulds” or polite answers. You're answering this just for yourself.  Some of these answers might be overly simple: a walk, a shower, a drink of water, a meal Some of these answers might be more complicated and feel harder to figure out: a feeling of connectedness, quiet time when I'm not needed by anyone else, a day to just bake cookies and connect with the holiday spirit How can you do this? It might feel like it involves creating some good controversy, especially if it involves speaking up to divide up housework with your family, to find quiet time, to find time to pursue a hobby, or to interview for a new job. You may need help from other people to do these things. So, dive in and ask yourself what you need and then figure out what kind of help you need from other people in your family. The other side of this good controversy could be a totally inside job. It could be that you've been sitting with something for a long time that doesn't feel so great, and in order to find comfort and joy on the other side, you need to work through it. You may need to break through a Story - or something you're assuming is true but isn't really true. Use "pop up" rules Priya suggests this for groups that gather that don't necessarily share the same background, or are part of the same generation, culture, or rules for etiquette. She says in those situations, you can set up pop up rules to encourage meaningful connection. What if you changed your own rules for a bit? What rules could you set for yourself, just for a day or a week, to support yourself? An example might be: set a bedtime for yourself for the next week if you are tired. Make a rule for yourself that this week, you will slow down and have an afternoon snack and see how that feels. Limit your interaction with people who stress you out, if possible.  Maybe if there's a particular person that tends to upset you but you know you'll see at a holiday event, maybe set a rule that you can leave after a certain amount of time at the event, or request that you not be seated next to them? This might mean that you're asking for something slightly different of yourself and other people - and that could be uncomfortable. So, let it be an experiment. Try out what something new looks like. Wrap up These ideas are all so applicable to how we can find intentional comfort and joy in our lives. It's so easy to get into habits that don't really support you, but have addressed discomfort you may have been feeling. Intentional Comfort is all adding a layer of mindfulness to what you do every day. I have been looking for ways to intentionally add nurturing and nourishing habits to my days, and find that when I make those choices, I do find more joy, too.

Holly Totten and Beth Rozier join the Podcast for this episode and share many laughs, wisdom and connect together through shared stories and wisdom. Beth has had many career journeys from co-developing and running a Landscape Architecture company, to an intensive job as a Medical Device Rep and finally landing her dream job as a wine consultant for Scout & Cellar. Holly and Beth touch on: Starting over after divorce and how that can completely redesign your desires and direction moving forward. How we can never know where the steps we take in life will lead us. The demanding lifestyle of exchanging your time for dollars and how we see it differently in our 3rd half of life. How even though you love what you are doing, sometimes we don't love it more than what we are sacrificing. Appreciation of support from friends, family and how much easier it can make life transitions and big changes. Beth mentions Brene Brown's quote throughout this episode ‘I think midlife is when the universe gently places her hands upon your shoulders, pulls you close, and whispers in your ear: I'm not screwing around. It's time…'. Brene's quote sums up, not only this episode but the entirety of the Podcast episodes so far and into the future as we explore transitions in our lives.

Often, I am asked, "What if I don't know who my 'authentic self' truly is?" And ten times out of ten, I respond with “Of course you do.” Of COURSE you do. You cannot be separated from your true self….she's just buried under layers of fear, trauma, and expectations. This episode is a shortie, and it lays out concrete steps to reconnecting with your authentic self. Let's do this. ALSO: visit https://kristenfinch.com/rewiredaf to apply for January openings!
