Podcasts about simple shifts

There comes a point in your creative business where doing “more” isn't the answer—working longer hours, booking more weddings, saying yes to every opportunity. If you're feeling stretched thin or creatively uninspired, it might be time to shift your strategy.In this episode, we're breaking down the simple (but powerful) shifts you can make behind the camera that instantly elevate your work and speak to a more luxury clientele. We're talking real-time choices, intentional artistry, and how to shoot with the final product in mind—even when the budget isn't massive or the conditions aren't perfect.Because here's the truth: high-end clients don't just want beautiful—they want intentional, elevated, and editorial. And that doesn't mean shooting differently for them, it means learning to bring more of you into every frame.This is your reminder that the most successful creatives aren't the ones who follow trends, they're the ones who lead with clarity. So if you've been waiting for permission to evolve your process, tell better stories, or raise your standards—this episode is for you.

If you're anything like me, you might be realizing lately how fast time is flying… and how much you want to be more intentional, especially with your kids, your peace, and your time with the Lord.   But in this fast-paced world, it's so easy to get distracted. It's easy to fill our days with busyness instead of what actually matters.   In this episode, I'm sharing three shifts to help you embrace a slower, more peaceful summer.   You'll learn how to: ✨ Ditch multitasking and stay present like Mary, not frantic like Martha ✨ Stop living on autopilot and move in daily obedience to the Lord ✨ Break free from people-pleasing and protect your God-given peace   Whether you're a mama, homemaker, or entrepreneur trying to juggle all the things, this episode will help you simplify, refocus, and slow down in a way that honors God and your season.   I pray this episode blesses you, and if it does, please share with a friend!   God bless! -Brianne   For community and additional resources, join the Hearty Homemaker Community

Episode Description In this enlightening episode, Scott Smith dives deep into what truly creates happiness in our everyday lives. Drawing from decades of coaching experience with thousands of clients, Scott reveals that behind every goal and aspiration lies one fundamental desire: to be happy. Scott shares personal insights about a middle-of-the-night revelation that prompted him to make changes in his own life, demonstrating how we sometimes need a gentle nudge (or divine intervention) to get back on track. Through practical wisdom and actionable advice, Scott outlines simple mindset shifts that can transform your daily experience into one filled with genuine happiness and fulfillment, regardless of your circumstances. Featured Story After a 3 AM wake-up call where Scott humorously describes God calling him a "dummy" for not listening to his audience, he returns to the show's original theme music by popular demand. This lighthearted story illustrates how sometimes we need to stop second-guessing ourselves and just make the changes we know are right, both in podcasting and in life. Key Takeaways Happiness is the ultimate goal behind every other goal we pursue Being grateful for what you have creates an immediate shift in perspective and reduces anxiety Aligning your daily actions with your core values and beliefs is essential for authentic happiness Making someone else's day better creates a remarkable "happiness payback" for yourself Asking "What can I do?" when faced with challenges keeps you from feeling stuck Holding space for your dreams is crucial - busy lives require intentional time for what matters Regular self-reflection through tools like the Perfect Week Planner helps identify what's working and what needs adjustment Memorable Quotes "Align your actions with your values and beliefs - when your day-to-day actions match who you are on the inside, you'll be a happy person." "We thrive in growth, not by being stuck. Whenever anything challenging happens, ask yourself 'What can I do?' There's always something you can do." "When you hold space for your dreams, it's amazing what happens - those dreams tend to come true." Scott's Three-Step Approach Practice Daily Gratitude: Take a moment each day to pause and identify specific things you're grateful for to shift your perspective and reduce stress. Align Actions with Values: Evaluate whether your daily activities reflect your true inner values and beliefs, then make small adjustments to bring them into alignment. Hold Space for Your Dreams: Intentionally carve out time in your schedule for the things that matter most to you, allowing your dreams to develop and manifest.

Being a highly sensitive person can mean that certain environments feel too loud, too bright and too much. It's easy to assume that *you* are the problem in those scenarios and that you just need to find a way to suck it up and get through it. But ... there is another way. In this episode of SelfKind join me, Erica Webb (counsellor, somatic exercise coach and HSP), as I talk about strategies to scaffold rather than shame your sensitivity. What you'll hear in this episode:- why I ended up running from the environments that overwhelmed me when I was younger (and what I'd do differently now)- the key considerations for scaffolding rather than shaming your sensitivity- why understanding your sensitivity and nervous system is key to navigating overwhelm with more skill and compassion.Mentioned in this episode: Learn about working with me in 1-1 counselling: https://www.ericawebb.com.auAdditional resources: Episode 272 of SelfKind: How can you honour your sensitivity?Episode 266 of SelfKind: Overstimulation: The HSP KryptoniteShare your thoughts with me over on Instagram or via my website.

Hey there, and welcome to this episode of SelfKind with me, Erica Webb. In this episode, I'm exploring the complex relationship between personal beliefs, self-expectations, and being a highly sensitive person.There's a 'mistake' that you probably don't know you're making when it comes to trying to be a good *something* (parent, business owner, partner, human ...). Today, I want to support you to see where this 'mistake' could be creeping in. You'll hear:- Why you might so easily mistake your overwhelm and overstimulation for evidence that you're not 'good enough'- Why the word 'should' is a good internal alarm to get your attention- How nurturing and honouring your sensitivity will always yield better outcomes than trying to 'tame' it- And more.I hope you find this episode helpful.
