Listen to hear my attempt to keep my fangirl excitement at a minimum, and have a normal human conversation with one of my favorite musicians.

- His daily routine and how he embraces dad life.
- What inspires him to create, and what he does when he feels "blocked".
- Who some of HIS favorite musicians are — and how he's introducing his daughter to good music.

11: Success + Saturn with Ocean Pleasant

11: Success + Saturn with Ocean Pleasant

Ocean and I share astrology friends, so I had heard her name mentioned for years before we connected, and I'm so glad our paths aligned! She is so insightful and intuitive at such a young age, and I loved our conversation for today's podcast episode. I know you will too!

In this episode, we talk about:
- How she left behind a high-pressured version of "success" to redefine success on her own terms.
- The life changes that can happen during a Saturn transit, and what it means to have a Saturn return.
- How to make time for your creativity and hold that space sacred.
- Her journey of moving to Hawai'i for love!
- Why TikTok is here to stay and why YOU should be on it!

***
ABOUT OUR GUEST
Ocean Pleasant is an Astrologer, Content Creator, and Cosmic Coach, whose career began in the startup industry. She was on Forbes 30 under 30 by the time she turned eighteen, and astrology found her at a time when she needed a realignment with purpose. In turn, astrology gave her a path forward to help other people find authentic purpose, too.

Since launching her private practice, she's garnered over 400 clients, over 120,000 followers, and secured brands deal with major companies like Target. She left behind everything that wasn't sparking joy, and now works remotely in Hawai'i living life on her own terms.

10: Presence, Preciousness and Play with Consie Sindet

10: Presence, Preciousness and Play with Consie Sindet

My mom introduced me to Consie's work on Instagram, and I was blown away by her cool, colorful, creative style. I've followed her for a while, so it was fun to be able to connect for this conversation and learn more about her creative journey. You will definitely be inspired to make time for creative play after listening to this chat about all things creativity!

In this episode, we talk about:
- Consie's creative journey and the time she tried to break up with her art
- The importance of play in your creative pursuits
- What creativity really looks like on a day-to-day basis (hint: it's not creating art journal pages every day!)
- How to push through the fear of 'messing up' something that feels precious
- How bringing Consie's work online has introduced her to a community of creative women around the world

***
ABOUT OUR GUEST
Consie Sindet is a Creative Mentor and Teacher. She believes that we should always be learning, growing, trying, failing and embracing the process. She's been teaching creativity in many forms for 18+ years and before online classes were even a thing, she taught in-person art classes to hundreds of women. Consie finds that art journaling is the most freeing way to express herself. She wants us all to know that we can find freedom, playfulness, and joy by slapping down some paint, gluing magazine pages to a piece of paper, adding doodling & marks, finding a quote that screams...'THIS IS HOW I FEEL TODAY!"...and calling it good enough.

8: Witchy Business with Krista Ripma

8: Witchy Business with Krista Ripma

Born 10 days after me, Krista Ripma is my Gemini sister in business, and someone I admire for her willingness to really GO THERE. She never shies away from being her authentic self and I loved this interview with her, because she shares more about how she embraces her witchiness in her day-to-day life and business ventures.

In this episode, we talk about:
- The energetics of business, and how to stay inspired with the message you are meant to share
- The journey of Krista embracing and sharing her authentic witchy self
- How to stay centered by using cord-cutting meditations, and how to draw in new opportunities with the law of attraction
- Self-soothing rituals to use when you don't feel like showing up and doing the work
- The difference between authenticity and vulnerability, and how to tap in to your authentic self when it comes to showing up online

***

6: The Divine Timing of Success with Debra Silverman

6: The Divine Timing of Success with Debra Silverman

I had the pleasure of working with Debra for several years to bring her astrology content online, and it was so good to catch up with her in this episode and ask questions I’ve never heard her talk about publicly.

In this episode, we talk about:
- Pushing through the ego's voice and your own self-consciousness to step more fully into your soul's purpose
- Debra's work in blending astrology and psychology — and why they're a match made in heaven
- What she would tell her 33-year-old self about success and following your purpose
- Dealing with negative comments and feedback
- What she’s learned about fame in her time working with celebrities and being a well-known astrologer

***
ABOUT OUR GUEST
When Debra Silverman was just 20 years old, she met an astrologer who blew her mind and changed her world forever. She had officially been introduced to the world of Astrology. It was then that she realized the stars in her own world had aligned just right, and she had found her life’s purpose. Debra went on to deeply study the mind and body, earning a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology & Dance from York University and a Master’s degree in Clinical Psychology from Antioch University. Over the past 40 years of professional experience and private practice, she has specialized in helping thousands of individuals achieve emotional health and wisdom based on their unique personalities and the four elements: water, air, earth, and fire. Her work with families, individuals, and couples has her standing out in a sea of therapists and coaches.

5: Veteran's Day Special with Andrew Anderson

5: Veteran's Day Special with Andrew Anderson

I've always been a patriotic person who loves to support our service members, and that only increased when I met my favorite Vet: my husband, Andrew Anderson. When I realized Veteran's Day here in the U.S. would fall on a podcast release day, it seemed totally fitting to have today be the day this episode with my hubby was released.
In this episode, we talk about:
- Why he joined the military, and his boot camp experience
- His high point and low point during his time in the Navy
- His connection with Pat Tillman
- How we met and our first date
- Soooo many good stories about what it's really like to be in the United States military
***
ABOUT OUR GUEST
Andrew Anderson served in the U.S. Navy from April 2011 - April 2015, with most of his active duty time spent as a Culinary Specialist aboard the USS Ronald Reagan. An avid Arizona sports fan, he has been an Arizona Cardinals season ticket holder with his dad since 1998, and he loves dressing up as the 'Cardinals Mandalorian' to attend games with his 3D-printed helmet and costume. He met Carrie a week after returning home from his Navy service, and the rest is history! He is an amazing husband and dad and all-around kind human being. Connect with him on Twitter @iMrAnderson.

4: The Widest Net with Pamela Slim

Entrepreneurship can be a lonely career, but with Pamela Slim's new book, The Widest Net (and the marketing method found within the pages), Pam encourages us all to take Tiny Marketing Actions to discover new customers right in front of us. 

In this episode, we talk about:

- Pam's new method of marketing, which involves tapping into your ecosystem and connecting with the right people
- How to determine your ideal client based on what they're going through/what they need, rather than demographics
- Why coming up with the perfect job title holds us back from doing the work we're meant to do
- How introverts can thrive when entering situations with lots of people
- When the right time is to quit your job and start a business, plus how to prepare to make that shift

***

She focused her first decade in business on creating and delivering training programs for large companies such as HP, Charles Schwab, 3Com, Chevron and Cisco Systems.

2: Trust Yourself, Trust Yoga with My Yoga Friend Deb

2: Trust Yourself, Trust Yoga with My Yoga Friend Deb

I am so excited to introduce you to my first podcast guest — my mom!

In this episode, we talk about:

- How she transitioned from her corporate job to teaching yoga full time
- What made her want to become a yoga teacher
- Advice for those who want to start or deepen a yoga practice
- The difference between teaching online vs. in person
- How to radiate joy when you're in full alignment

***

ABOUT OUR GUEST
Deb Althoff found the practice of yoga in the 1990’s and her life was forever changed. Her own practice revealed opportunities for emotional healing, and her yoga teacher studies led her to dive deeper into the therapeutic benefits of yoga (she holds a 500-hour yoga teaching certification with an emphasis on healing with yoga therapy).

Deb believes that yoga can benefit every body, regardless of physical capabilities. You don’t need to be flexible to practice yoga - you just need to be willing. She brings a joyful and lighthearted approach to her yoga classes, helping students recognize their own glory, as well as their ability to heal and thrive.

Learn more about her upcoming Yoga for Grief program, her membership, and local yoga classes at http://MyYogaFriendDeb.com, and connect with her on Instagram @myyogafrienddeb.
