Podcast appearances and mentions of tina essmaker

Tina Essmaker (@tinaessmaker) is a coach, speaker and writer who helps creative professionals transition to the other side. With a Bachelor’s of Social Work and professional coach training, Tina’s approach is warm and practical, meeting clients where they are and guiding them forward. The creative world is her specialty, but her work is open to all who are navigating ambiguity, change, and transition and desire to thrive on the other side.Tina and I met when I was still working at Instagram and she was the editor of The Great Discontent. I loved her and her writing so much that when she first posted about becoming a creative life coach,  I signed up right away. I was looking down the barrel of all my big life changes that inspired this podcast, and she created a really gentle, inspiring and supportive experience.We talked in December over Zoom - before it was cool - but so many of the themes we discussed are perfect for this quarantine period we’re in. We talk about navigating the space that often comes with transitions, flowing over forcing, finding alignment, the illusion of control and how letting go can be empowering. You’ll hear her story of how she went from growing up in Michigan to social work to starting a magazine for creatives to what she does today working as a coach and writer. She shares some of her philosophies and tools to help you if you are some kind of transition which newsflash we all are, like ways to manage your energy and structure time.Set up a consult with Tina here: https://calendly.com/tinaessmaker/15min?month=2020-04Subscribe to Tina's newsletter here: https://tinyletter.com/coachtina. Read Tina's work on Working Not Working (and send her a question), 99u, and (my favorite) Medium. 

✨Special Guest: Coach, writer (@99u, @WnotW), and speaker Tina Essmaker

Tina Essmaker is a coach, writer and speaker and in early 2017, she had the opportunity to reimagine career and her four burners when she transitioned out of the The Great Discontent, a publication she started with her former husband and business partner.She took what she describes as a gap year to figure out what she wanted to next and eventually returned to her roots as a social worker, now helping the creative community to navigate uncertainty and take action on their ideas. In this conversation we speak about why we sometimes flail when we don’t have constraints in our days and careers, the dance between scheduling and spontaneity, chunking tasks in your week, finding space for yourself after a divorce and what can help when you’re dealing with a period of change, hurt or uncertainty.Extraordinary Findings:- Freakonomics episode on how to get more grit in your life- Ask Polly advice columns by Heather Havrilesky- Laugh, Kookaburra by David Sedaris - Follow Tina Essmaker on Instagram or visit tinaessmaker.com* * *To stay tuned, please subscribe or follow the podcast on your preferred listening platform and leave a review on iTunes.You can also sign up to the Extraordinary Routines newsletter, or follow along at @extraordinary_routines on Instagram.Special thanks to: Nelson Dore for the theme music, Scott from Soundmind Editing for the mixing and Ellen Porteus for the cover art.

Tina Essmaker is a Coach, Writer and Speaker who I credit with being one of the biggest inspirations for this podcast and my creative journey. Tina, together with her former husband and business partner cofounded an online publication called The Great Discontent, that featured in-depth conversations with highly respected creatives of various disciplines. I was able to discover leaders in the field while also relating to them on a human level. Reading their stories helped me to believe that my creative goals were possible to achieve and I hope to continue that legacy with this podcast. Tina’s career has now shifted, but in a lot of ways has come full-circle. In this episode, we talked about Tina’s current role as a coach for creative professionals, making transitions in a career and aging as a creative. I even got some business advice at the end!

A pivot can be a powerful thing. Tina Essmaker started as a social worker with a side project, a Kickstarted magazine she founded with her husband. But when her marriage ended, she had to re-evaluate: stay with the magazine, or start something new? She decided to tap into her skills as a social worker and her connection to the creative community to re-launch as a creative coach. In this week's episode, Damona talks with Essmaker about how she transitioned from publishing into a self-created role where she helps creative workers identify and stick with their goals.Essmaker offers concrete tips for people considering a shift from one path to another, and encourages listeners to consider the "emotional balance sheet" of their lives. (And Damona gets a gold star for her ability to describe her work concisely - would you get the same?) "It’s just a continual act of faith, that knowing what I’m doing is valuable and it’s needed, and then trusting that clients will come to me," says Essman, who now works as a coach, a speaker, and a writer.ResourcesTo learn more about Tina and her services go to:https://tinaessmaker.comWord of Mouth Marketing- Articlehttps://www.bigcommerce.com/blog/word-of-mouth-marketing/Nielsen Reporthttps://www.nielsen.com/us/en/insights/article/2012/consumer-trust-in-online-social-and-mobile-advertising-grows/If you like our show, please let us know by rating and reviewing it on whatever platform you listen to it. 5* reviews help us grow our audience and reach!To learn more about FreshBooks and receive an exclusive offer go towww.freshbooks.com/imal

My guest today is Tina Essmaker. She's a dear friend, a writer, and she coaches creative professionals through career road blocks. Tina is quite honestly a breath of fresh air. I met her a handful of years ago as a very close family friend's “new girlfriend”. What was meant to be a “does she pass the test?” scenario turned to be a bonding and long lasting conversation, one which I feel continues to this day. Before this faithful encounter, and years before she came into the family, Tina was in a long term relationship which ended abruptly and without warning. This tailspin set her on a new self discovery path, a long journey in which she found herself, and discovered a passion and talent which would have otherwise remained hidden. Tina equips the creative community to move beyond inspiration into action. She is cofounder and former Editor in Chief of The Great Discontent magazine for which she interviewed more than 250 creators. Her decade-long background in social work combined with her expertise in themes that dot the creative landscape are the foundation of her coaching practice working with individuals and teams across creative industries. Listen in as we discuss how journaling is a wonderful tool for shutting out the noise and in getting stuff OUT of your head - and how this simple practice supports you in accepting and best handling your reality. Tina believes we're all here, on this planet,  to add value to the world, and that we need people on our team to guide, encourage and support our endeavors For today's Beating the Monday Blues homework, I encourage you to get inspired by this touching story and to stay open when times are shifting. We tend to subscribe to a lifestyle or a routine or a schedule - and when life throws us a curve ball at us we tend to drop it ALL.  What are the things you value most? What is important to you in YOUR  life? Are YOU part of the equation? What are your non-negotiable moments of care? Is your personal time blocked off in your calendar? Ask yourself these questions. List your needs out on a piece of paper, pick the most important ones, and add them to your calendar with a flexible structure.  A simple technique I use and recommend in my practice is to treat your calendar as your BEST friend. I take half an hour on Sunday's to look at it. I asses what's coming up for the week, and call in feelings of gratitude for the times I'm BUSY -  as much as I feel grateful when times are slower. I make sure my movement routine, my meditation practice and at least one coffee with a friend are blocked times in there, and If I can treat myself to something special - like a massage on a Friday every few weeks - that gets blocked as well. I observe how work and family time will compliment each other, and I make sure they do not overlap - But when they do (because life is life) I keep an open mind and adjust accordingly, looking to maintain the awareness of being in the moment when interacting with my children, my husband and my clients. Thank you for tuning in today, I look forward to your feedback, keep sending in your questions and…. Enjoy today's ride! With Love and Gratitude

In the interview, Tina talks about the big changes she had to make in her own life before she could pursue the work that was right for her.
