Listen to this episode to hear: • Why Jill has chosen to work for a winery vs. start her own • How you can still live in alignment and do what you love while working for someone else • The strengths of a female-founded, female-led team • Why Jill didn't enjoy being labeled a “female winemaker” for a long time • How Jill has navigated working in a male-dominated industry • Why being a sustainable winery is so much more than the environment (but why that's important too) • The skills Jill fostered that helped her land her dream job as head winemaker at Cambria Wines About Jill: Jill Russell grew up with a love of food and wine while living in the Bay Area and working as a server at a winery in Livermore Valley. She developed a love for the Central Coast where she attended Cal Poly, SanLuis Obispo in their new Wine & Viticulture program. Interested in experiencing winemaking abroad, Jill spent a quarter studying in Adelaide,Australia. After college she had the dream opportunity to make wine in Menetou-Salon, Loire Valley France. With all of her connections and work during college at Tolosa, StephenRoss & Phase 2 Cellars, Jill was drawn back to Santa Barbara County and established her reputation there. She was introduced to Paul Lato, who believed she not only had the skills, but the right energy to help make some of the best wines that the Central Coast had to offer. At Paul Lato Wines, she specialized in wines sourced from prestigious vineyards of the Santa Maria and Santa Rita Hills regions but found herself particularly drawn to the uniquely characteristic vines of Santa Maria Valley. Years later, the opportunity of a lifetime presented itself, and Jill knew it was her destiny to take on the role of winemaker at Cambria Winery, one of the quintessential wineries of Santa Maria Valley. Jill is thrilled to work alongside former Cambria Winemaker and General Manager Denise Shurtleff. Jill lived in San Luis Obispo for more than ten years, and shares a love of the Central Coast with her husband Torrey. They now live in the quaint winemaking town of Los Alamos.

The world today is as complex as ever. With some systems crumbling and others doubling down, navigating meaningful work can be exhausting and can easily lead to burnout. This is just one aspect of my conversation with Maggie Doyne that I loved diving into. I have long admired people (especially women) who do things differently than the status quo. Who have a desire, a passion and a fuel to do something big- and actually follow that calling. It's SO hard friends. SO freaking hard. This is why I was so fueled and inspired by my conversation with my friend Maggie Doyne, Co-Founder and CEO of the BlinkNow Foundation. In this episode we talked about: What it looks like to navigate privilege, radically listen and work through the "white savior compex" How to have scrappy, messy hope in the midst of todays cultural climate Ins and outs of motherhood in all of its shapes and sizes The power of simplicity and getting our basic needs met I loved having Maggie Doyne on the podcast to discuss her highly anticipated debut memoir Between the Mountain and the Sky: A Mother's Story of Hope and Love. As the CEO and co-founder of BlinkNow, a nonprofit dedicated to serving the children of Nepal, Doyne has been globally recognized for her community-based and sustainable initiatives abroad. The book highlights Doyne's inspirational coming of age story spanning over a decade since she journeyed from her comfortable middle-class New Jersey home for the college gap year that forever changed the trajectory of her life. When Doyne first arrived in Surkhet, Nepal the area was just coming out of a civil war that left families in poverty and many children orphaned on the streets. After an unexpected encounter with a Nepali girl breaking rocks in a quarry, Doyne decided to invest her life savings of five thousand dollars to buy a piece of land and open the Kopika Valley Children's Home with a vision to care for, comfort, educate, and empower the children of the community. Alongside BlinkNow co-founder Tope Malla, Doyne has gone on to open a school, health clinic, women's center, and more, and was recognized for her remarkable initiatives as a 2015 CNN Hero of the Year.

Do you ever look at people and brands you admire and assume they just have something special you don't have to build what they've built? That they're somehow superhumans, doing everything right as they build? Barret was one of our attendee's favorite speakers from our 2019 conference and it was such a joy to have him back in the Yellow Co. realm and he debunks this myth immediately. In our conversation, Barret speaks openly about his decision to go on Lexapro after experiencing the most challenging year of his life after starting ABLE, and what he learned through that experience. Barret and I talk about how ABLE is disrupting the fashion industry, working to be transparent about their lowest wages, providing inclusive sizing and help other fashion brands do the same. Listen to this episode to hear: Why Barret was found by his 2-year-old crying on the bathroom floor What is most helpful while moving through depression as a CEO of a company How we can't wait until we're perfect to be honest Why ABLE publishing their lowest wages is disrupting the fashion industry ABOUT BARRET: Leading a fashion lifestyle brand might be an unlikely role for someone self-described as “not a fashion guy,” but that's exactly where ABLE CEO Barrett Ward finds himself. As the visionary behind the rapidly growing Nashville-based company disrupting the fashion industry with a social conscience, Ward was inspired to start ABLE with the mission of creating sustainable economic opportunities for women. While living in Ethiopia, Ward and wife Rachel saw firsthand how extreme poverty forced many young women to make difficult choices for money. They wanted to give women the chance to earn a living with dignity. In 2010, they began ABLE by employing women who had overcome the sex industry to make handmade scarves. ABLE has since grown into a lifestyle brand carrying beautiful leather bags, jewelry, denim, apparel, and shoes with a primary focus on employing and empowering women in Ethiopia, Brazil, India, Mexico, and Nashville, TN. Beyond adding new categories and communities of impact, Ward and ABLE have also grown in their ambition for social justice. In 2018, ABLE became the first brand to publish their lowest wages, creating the #PublishYourWages movement and providing complete transparency to empower and protect the fashion industry's vulnerable workers – most of whom are women.

Our very FIRST guest on the creating meaningful work is Reverened Nicole Garcia. She is the first queer transgender Latina ordained as a Minister of Word and Sacrament in the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America as well as a working therapist. I first found out about Reverened Nicole from the Netfliex docuseries Coming Out Colton. Yes, there's a lot of controversy surrounding Colton as an ex NFL player cis genered white man getting a Netflix series, while most are cast aside. Reverened Nicole shows up in an episode about faith. Reverened Nicole shoots him straight. Telling him to own up to the pain he caused his ex girlfriend and figureout who he is. Her straightforward yet loving approach had me screaming at my TV... curious about this amazing woman and how I could talk with her. I found out she was the first queer transgender Latina ordained as a Minister of Word and Sacrament in the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America as well as a working therapist. I gained so much insight from this conversation with Nicole. Her story of radically accepting herself is something we can all learn from, no matter what our experience. It's never too late to own who you are. It's never too late to step into your true, authentic self. When we do, that is where our most genuine, creative and impactful work comes from and Rev Nicole embodies that to her core.

Tharangi's Poem from the episode: *Transition - a Passageway* by Tharangi Cumaranatunge Transition - It is not An escape - Nor an ending, Not a jump with no parachute And doesn't need mending, It doesn't need defending Nor ever pretending And no one's contending It is merely destiny bending. A transition is - A safe landing place before ... We travel up another stair case, When you are in the landing Cherish the pause, Rejuvenate the internal mission And the heartfelt cause. Live in the landing, fully aligned Take rest, sharpen tools, Open the mind, ...Be receptive and open to - what is. And get ready to be wowed and surprised. Creativity comes from unknowing, and the unknown And everything - you will eventually be shown. It is a passage that requires trust and faith A path that not all travellers take: Once taken bestows courage and bravery To arrive at a brand new place of discoveryFollow, subscribe and leave us a review!

This week I talked with Joanna Waterfall, Founder of Yellow Co. a community of women creating meaningful work. She is the guru of helping others find community. So much so that she started a company based on others finding each other and their shared passions.  Joanna and I talk about how we were all made for the community, how to find it, and why it matters. We discuss how hard it can be, how we can be a society that can be socially connected but lonely at the same time. She gives us advice on how to be vulnerable and take the risk to find those who will do life with you.    Another thing at which she excels is teaching us how to create meaningful work. Yellow Co. defines work as creating meaning in this world and making sure what you do aligns with you. A huge part in that is knowing yourself, so you can lead not only yourself but others.   We talk about our own struggles of identity and worthiness and how to find our wholeness so we can help others find theirs.    This is a conversation that will encourage you and set you on your next steps to find or strengthen the community you have always desired.  To learn more about Joanna and Yellow Co.

In this episode, I have the pleasure of interviewing my good friend Joanna Waterfall, the founder of Yellow Co. This conversation is so inspiring, I cannot wait for you to listen. Together we chat about the evolution of the Yellow Co brand, the incredible intention that’s always been built in behind it, what it means to take ownership of who you are + use your gifts and creativity to do good in the world, as well as how to rally together a tribe of people who want to share in and support your ideas.

In this episode, Joanna discusses the founding and creation of her company Yellow Co., the desire to create work that you love and get paid to do the work you love, the ultimate battle of comparison and self doubt, surrounding yourself with women who are uplifting and open to collaborating and how life changing this work has been for her, and how she grounds herself each day to cultivate creativity and thrive.

It wasn't always about connection and collaboration for Joanna Waterfall. Before founding The Yellow Conference and Yellow/Co. - which started as a yearly event to bring together creative women with businesses designed to do good in the world- she was burned out and tired of competition as a graphic designer. What she did notice during this time in her life, was that she was constantly meeting other women who were inspiring her to be more creative and heart centered. She would meet them through friends, at random events, or by chance and it got her thinking - 'wouldn't it be great to get all these women in one room to share their stories with each other.' And so begins the story of Yellow/Co. With no experience hosting events or conferences, and only an idea in mind, Joanna launched a movement that brings together entrepreneurs, social enterprises, influencers and creatives to collaborate and connect in a welcoming environment - both online and offline. And as I found out, she didn't always dream of being an entrepreneur - she actually thought she'd be working on weddings (find out what job on the podcast). This is a cool one if you want to know more about building community, event planning, collaboration and how to book high profile guests without killing your budget. Plus so much more!

Let's talk about being a creative. And the creative process. And some important elements to keep in mind as you endeavor on your own creative journey. We also have Joanna Waterfall in the house to share her thoughts of creativity, living an amplified life and staying focused and sane through it all.
