Seek and Be

You may have noticed it's been a little quiet on the Seek & Be Podcast. Today I'm sharing a quick life update in a super short and sweet bonus episode. 

I'm talking about how my plan to take a quick break from social media turned into something much bigger (and better!) I'm also sharing some exclusive news of what's coming next. I hope you're just as excited as I am!

In a world full of deadlines, distractions, and countless things vying for our attention, it can be hard to catch our breath, let alone set time aside to actually rest. Yet, allowing ourselves to rest allows us to show up in the world as the best version of ourselves, which in turn allows us to change the world.

In today's episode, we're talking about all things rest with empowerment coach Kia Cannons. She's sharing the transformative power of rest she's experienced in her own life as well as the lives of the women she coaches. She's also sharing tips and steps for adding more rest into your daily life. So if you've been feeling overwhelmed or your body and mind are begging for some rest, join us for some practical tools you can start using today.

This episode is great for anyone feeling the need or desire to slow down a bit. You'll gain some insight and wisdom about why rest is important, how you can have more of it in your life, and why it's especially crucial for those that want to show up and truly make an impact in the world.

It happens to the best of us - life gets out of control, we take on too many projects, our to-do list takes on a life of it's own and before you know it, we find ourselves totally overwhelmed. This episode is a heart to heart conversation about where to start when you feel overwhelmed, with practical tools to help you take the first steps to getting yourself out from under it.

We're getting real, we're getting honest, and we're getting a little vulnerable too. I share some of my personal experiences as a life-long perfectionist and people pleaser, both of which have created vicious cycles in my life where I felt so overwhelmed that I felt like I was barely keeping my head above water. I've learned a way to do things differently, where I no longer feel controlled by my to-do list or overwhelmed by the amount of things that need to get done, and I want to help you do the same.

This episode was truly created with everyone in mind, because let's be honest, we ALL deal with overwhelm at some point. But this episode is geared especially to those that find themselves in the midst of overwhelm right now. We'll explore some of the ways we can prevent overwhelm to begin with but you'll also walk away with practical steps you can implement today to finally battle that ever growing to-do list, so you can finally take a deep breath. It's time to kick overwhelm to the curb!

In this episode of the Seek & Be podcast, I'm sitting down with Lauren Frontiera and having a conversation about all things intuition. Through her own journey of personal discovery, Lauren has used meditation to not only discover and connect with her intuition but it's become the foundation of the incredible work she does helping others discover their own powerful inner knowing.

She shares how a lifetime of seeking external validation and living with a hustle mentality led her on a journey inward, to healing and unearthing her own powerful intuition. Now she's teaching others to do the same.

Our heartfelt conversation covers the very first steps you can take to begin a meditation practice. Spoiler alert - it's way easier than you think! We also talk about connecting with and learning to trust your intuition and the transformative power it can have in your life. Lauren shares her practical steps for connecting to your intuition, even if you don't know where to start. She also gives us insight and the go-to tools she uses to easily and effectively incorporate meditation into her every day life.

This episode is great for anyone wanting to learn more about meditation - especially if you're just beginning or your practice needs a boost of inspiration. If you've been curious about what it means to tap into the power of your intuition, this episode will have you feeling inspired and more confident to tap into your inner knowing. We are full of infinite wisdom and Lauren shows us how to use that powerful gift to change our lives.

In this episode, I'm sharing my favorite go-to books for creativity. These are the books that I return to time and time again when I need a little dose of inspiration or want to shake up my creative practice.

If you are a new artist or are fairly early on in your creative journey, these books will help you build a strong foundation for your creative practice and inspire you to share your work with the world. If you are an experienced artist and have been in the game for a while now, you'll be inspired to look at your creative practice with a fresh perspective and be reminded of why you started your own creative journey. Either way, the books I share will motivate, inspire, and keep you focused as you live life as an artist.

This episode is great for anyone who loves books (especially art focused books) or for anyone who likes to get a feel for a book before they check it out or buy. I give basic information about each book, how it has helped me in my studio practice and how it can make an impact in yours. 

In today's episode, I have a conversation with Flo Williams, a multi-passionate entrepreneur with a heart for sustainability. You may know her online as The Blended Beauty, where she shares her passion for cruelty-free and clean beauty as well as sustainable fashion.

Originally interested in Marine Biology, Flo's journey has been a beautiful unfolding that has led her down many different paths. After becoming more aware of the harmful ingredients in the products she was using, she discovered a passion for uncovering some of the dirty little secrets of the beauty industry. Along the way, she discovered a more thoughtful way to care for her skin and the environment. 

We talk about everything from the impact of animal testing, where our products come from and who it effects in the process, as well how investing our time and money into products that are great for our bodies can also be great for our local community and the world.

This episode is a great place to start for anyone interested in learning more about clean beauty or sustainable fashion. You'll walk away with inspiration to help you create a more intentional beauty routine as well as practical tips for building a more sustainable wardrobe. 

Let's be honest, Covid has upended our lives in more ways than we can count. Add in a movement bringing attention to the racial injustices happening in our country and it's easy to feel like our lives have been turned upside down. 

We desperately want to get back to "normal". But what happens when the normal we've known wasn't servings us. 

In this episode, I'm sharing how we can begin moving forward in our lives in a more thoughtful and intentional way. Together we can build a new normal that can be nourishing, supportive and inspiring for every single person.

This is a great episode for anyone feeling overwhelmed with the thought of getting back to normal. You'll walk away with tangible steps that will help you move forward in an intentional way and create a more meaningful future for yourself and your community. 

In this episode of the Seek & Be podcast, I sit down for a heartfelt conversation with illustrator and designer Kercia Mueller of Kercia Jane Design. They say good things comes to those who wait and Kercia is no exception. She waited 7 years before making the leap to pursue her illustration and design work full-time.

Within that journey, she not only battled fear and insecurity, but also made some incredible artwork and built a business around her passion. Plus, she had a full circle moment that you’ll just have to hear to believe. 

She shares how she worked through the fear and doubt, how she continues to stay inspired, and how knowing her purpose has changed everything. 

This episode is perfect for anyone needing an extra boost of confidence to pursue their own passion and serves as a reminder to honor the calling in your heart.
