  • Planning for Your Birthday Month

    Planning for Your Birthday Month
    2026/04/23

    “What would happen if I spent a whole day on my body, mind and soul?”

    –Mia

    What would you do if you focused on YOU for a month?

    I get really intentional about planning my birthday month, and I’m going to show you how to do that so you can plan for your birthday month too. If your birthday is far away, go put a reminder in your calendar two weeks before your birthday with the link to this episode. Or decide you’re going to embrace planning a month for you now.

    May is a really busy time, and I think part of the push to do this is that it’s powerful to put yourself first when you are being pulled in other directions. I know that when I have a plan and I’m intentional, I can make things happen even in busy times. I have a business focus and as part of my uplevel, I’m inviting entrepreneurs to join me for daily business practices inside of FLOW365 for a month. I’m calling May Momentum.

    Why a month? It takes the pressure off one day. It means I can flex with the weather, with big events and weekend plans. I can weave in the things I want even with important dates for my business. Once I have the ideas, I make space on the calendar for them.

    Some things I’m excited to include:

    • May Momentum
    • Artist Dates
    • Clearing out stuff
    • Ceremony with Sarah Jenks
    • Time with friends
    • A whole day focused on my body, mind and soul

    Questions I ask:

    • What needs completion?
    • What needs or wants attention?
    • What would it look like to celebrate me?

    DOABLE CHANGES

    At the end of every episode, we share three doable changes, so you can take what you've heard and put it into action. Action is where change happens.

    Even though we want big change, it’s really little things done over and over that make the difference. So pick a doable thing. Put it in your calendar. Weave it through your days for a week and then move on to the next one. It will have a snowball effect.

    Here are three Doable Changes from this conversation:

    • ASK THE QUESTIONS. Ask yourself three questions a couple of weeks before your birthday month: What needs completion? What needs or wants attention? What would it look like to celebrate me? Braindump, journal, just put all the ideas down. Decide what things are important to you. If your birthday month is a ways away, your doable change now is to put a reminder in your calendar for two weeks before your birthday month with these questions and the link to this episode.
    • IS THIS ME NOW? Sometimes we have ideas that fit on the surface, but they may feel a little flat or like a past you. Pause and question whether the idea really fits you now. Maybe it does with some changes, or maybe it’s not the right thing for now.
    • COMPLETE ONE TASK. Sometimes we start tasks but don’t quite finish them. I sorted through a bunch of stuff and decided to get rid of things, but still have the bins of things. Completion looks like getting those out of my house by a tag sale of donation to Goodwill. Maybe you have something written but not published or gathered but not returned. What could you complete today.

  • Is Your Business Joyful? with M. Shannon Hernandez

    Is Your Business Joyful? with M. Shannon Hernandez
    2026/04/16

    “If it ain't joyful, I ain't doing that shit.”

    –M. Shannon Hernandez

    I’m talking to M. Shannon Hernandez, author of Practical Joy: Simple Tools to Cultivate More Joy Every Day and founder of Joyful Business Revolution. She opens with her mantra: If it ain’t joyful, I ain’t doing that shit,” and we dive in from there.

    Shannon explains the difference between joy and happiness this way: Joy is an inside job, while happiness comes from things on the outside. Joy is living in alignment with our core values. And you can plan for joy.

    Shannon shows us how to weave joy into our marketing — and the shift that happens when you stop thinking about marketing and start thinking about messaging.

    We talk about:

    • Planning your day based around your 3-4 top values and how your future self drives joy
    • Cultivating joy every day, no matter what’s going on — with examples — and working through the non-joyful parts to get to joy
    • The difference between marketing and messaging, and bringing joy to the messaging of your business
    • Finding your messaging pillars
    • Why making time to connect with people is essential
    • Using AI — how to show up as you, how to use AI to streamline not make things busier

    ABOUT SHANNON

    When consultants, strategists, speakers, and trainers know their work has outgrown their message, and they need messaging that reflects its depth and converts without compromise, they call M. Shannon Hernandez. Shannon is the strategist behind the Profit-Driven Messaging Ecosystem™ and a fierce advocate for protecting voice and authority in an AI-driven world.

    DOABLE CHANGES

    At the end of every episode, we share three doable changes, so you can take what you've heard and put it into action. Change comes from action.

    Doable changes are things that you can add into your life, one at a time to make micro shifts and really create a ripple effect that will create a big change over time. Choose one that really piques your interest and roll with it.

    Here are three Doable Changes from this conversation:

    • PLAN FROM YOUR VALUES. Identify your top 3–4 values. Each morning for a week, identify what you will do each day to live each value. Notice how it changes the way you approach your day. What things easily fit in? What things feel challenging? What things fit if you shift the way you think?
    • IDENTIFY YOUR MESSAGING PILLARS. What are the three things you talk about in your messaging? Start by looking at what you are already talking about. Think about what your future self wants to be doing — what are three things important to that work? What things already bring joy or spark real connection with people? Work with these pillars or anchors to streamline your messaging on your website, in emails, in podcasts or blogs, in talks and workshops.
    • REACH OUT TO OTHERS. Connecting with others is essential to your business success. Do it as a joyful thing. Do it as a real human looking to connect with someone else. If you are bringing networking energy or a checklist of numbers energy to it, try leading with a different gesture, with connection, with real curiosity or interest.

  • Making Time for Your Vision

    Making Time for Your Vision
    2026/04/09

    Why does follow-through sometimes feel impossible—even when you know what you want?

    In this episode, I’m diving into one of the most overlooked (and powerful) parts of the FLOW planning process: vision. This step is something you can access in minutes, even seconds, to help you move forward when you feel stuck.

    If you’ve been feeling frozen, overwhelmed, or like you “just can’t move,” this isn’t about discipline or doing more. It’s about reconnecting to where you’re going, and letting that pull you forward. This is the role of vision.

    In this episode, I walk you through:

    • The 5-step FLOW planning method (and where vision fits in)
    • How to use vision at different scales—from 3 years to the next 90 minutes
    • Simple ways to practice vision so it becomes natural (not another to-do)
    • How to shift from past-based thinking to future-based action

    You’ll leave with a practical way to reconnect to your vision, so you can take your next step with more clarity, ease, and momentum.

    Because you already know what you want. Sometimes you just need to remember.

    “That's why the natal chart is so cool and human design and gene keys are these beautiful tools that give us permission to be ourselves.” –Danielle HendricksonI’m a Gemini. For a long time, that’s all I knew about astrology. But it fascinated me. Turns out, all I knew was my Sun sigh, and I’m really interested in Moons, because the moon maps to the feminine cycle.I’m excited to share this conversation with Venusian astrologer Danielle Hendrickson, who writes the Astrology Report for Pause magazine every month.I asked Danielle for Astrology 101, and she used this analogy. You’re in a car, and you are the driver. The car is being fueled by your sun. Your sun is the gas in the tank, and it’s making you move towards your ascending sign, which is who you are here to become. To find out who else is in the car, and why they matter, take a listen.We talk about:The shift in our creative center when we reach menopauseVenus returns happening every eight years and how you can see your feminine rising over timeUnderstanding your signs to understand your path and be more yourselfHow your relationship with the moon may change in perimenopause, menopause, and beyondMapping the moon, your cycle, and your Venus weekThe 19-month Venus cycleABOUT DANIELLE Danielle Hendrickson is a women’s spiritual guide, Venusian astrologer and priestess devoted to helping women remember and embody their Sacred Feminine blueprint.

Change comes from action.Sometimes action gets a bad rap. You can be kind to yourself. You can practice being AND doing, but for change to happen you have to take steps. The way we take care of ourselves is making the steps doable and focusing on one thing at a time. We take time to integrate the change and then move on to the next one. Pick a Doable Change that resonates with you the most to start from.Here are three Doable changes that we chose from this conversation. FIND YOUR MOON. You probably know your Sun sign — that’s the horoscope you usually look up. What about your moon? Use an online moon sign calculator to find your moon and learn more about it.MAP THE MOON CYCLE. Use our moon tracker, the moon board Danielle mentioned, or any other way to track where the moon is in its cycle, where you are in yours (if you are cycling) and what you notice about yourself in different parts of the cycle.GET A BASIC CHART. I highly recommend you get a reading from a real astrologer, especially if you are interested in the sacred feminine. If you’re ready, your doable change is to book an appointment. Not ready, try asking AI about your chart to get a starting point. What resonates?

  • Staying Consistent to Grow Your Network with Nina Froriep

    Staying Consistent to Grow Your Network with Nina Froriep
    2026/03/19

    “Make sure that you're not just posting and running away.”

    –Nina Froriep

    How do we start to use LinkedIn in a really smart way? I’ll admit I have mixed feelings, but I’m trying to embrace it. There’s no one better to help do that than Nina Froriep, a content + engagement strategist and a LinkedIn personal brand builder.

    My first aha from Nina — LinkedIn likes and rewards consistency and engagement. It’s not enough to just put stuff out there. You really want to engage with people who comment on your posts and go like or comment on others. You want to keep the conversation going.

    You need to be there. You need a professional presence that tells who you are and what you do. Nina and I dig into how much and how to make the most of that time.

    We talk about:

    1. Engagement can go along way even without posting (and why you should still post)
    2. What the algorithm rewards now
    3. How often to post and how to get more engagement
    4. Creating an editorial calendar to balance thought leadership and events
    5. Easy ways to add content that engages
    6. Reusing what you have

    ABOUT NINA

    Nina is a LinkedIn™ featured LinkedIn Brand Builder and a Content and Engagement Strategist for Creators, Coaches + Consultants.

    She works with service-based entrepreneurs and visual artists to create strategies and digital content so they can grow their companies organically and elevate the conversations they're having in their areas of expertise.

    Nina is a “recovering” film producer and documentary filmmaker. She’s seen it all, from the early days on independent features to big national TVcommercials, corporate mega-shows, and Emmy award-winning documentaries, including one she produced and directed called Abraham's Children.

    Nina is a visual artist, and loves spending time outdoors, especially in her native Switzerland, with her owner Tigger, an 11-pound Dachshund mix who has her well trained.

    1. BE CONSISTENT. Pick two days a week to post and do it every week. Put it in your calendar. Block off the time to write it. Get it out there.
    2. ENGAGE. Keep the conversation going. Go comment (18 words or more!) on posts by people you know. Respond to comments on your posts. Respond to another commenter. Build real engagement. Struggle to post consistently? Show up and engage consistently first.
    3. ASK A QUESTION. Ask smart questions. Ask people which of three covers they like and why. You can use a question as a post or at the end of a post. You can reply to a comment with a question. Give people something to respond to.

Action is where change happens. But here's the thing: when we have a goal, a wish, a desire bubbling up in us, it can feel really huge. Sometimes we stop ourselves in our tracks based on how huge our desire feels. Change needs action, but it doesn't need huge action. When we focus on the next step, the next Doable Change that we can integrate into our lives, we don’t get stuck and we create momentum. Choose one Doable Change that resonates with you today and really play with it. Fit it into your life, your days, make it work for you — then move on to your next Doable Change. Here are Three Doable Changes from this conversation: CHOOSE SELF-CARE. Self-care and compassion make such a difference, but sometimes we back off from them because we don’t want to disappoint others. Think about the last time somebody modeled self-care and how you reacted. Try an act of self-care yourself.WHO ARE YOU NOW? Where are you getting stuck in old stories? Who are you now? I was once really dogmatic about food. It served me well at the time, but now, not so much. Are the decisions you would have made a decade ago that feel different now? Slow down and look at the boundaries and decisions in your life now. Are you working from an old story?CHECK OUT SKINNY60. I’ve done this program several times and I keep learning more and adjusting to my now body. Take a few minutes to explore this program to see if it might help you reclaim your health and navigate this stage of life in your body (which, of course affects everything else).

  • Concentrating During Chaos

    Concentrating During Chaos
    2026/02/26

    Concentrating during chaos can feel impossible — especially when life is unpredictable, confusing, and messy (hello, snowstorms… and everything else happening in the world). In this episode, I’m sharing a simple metaphor I couldn’t stop thinking about: the trees outside my window.

    It really struck me that nature isn’t fighting chaotic weather — it’s prepared for it.

    We’ll talk about why your brain interprets chaos as a threat (and why your nervous system will always prioritize survival over productivity), how decision fatigue and fragmented attention make it harder to focus, and what to do instead.

    Using a tree framework — roots, trunk, branches, and seasons — you’ll explore how to get more rooted in what doesn’t change, simplify what you’re trying to do right now, stay committed without rigidity, and let this season be the season it is.

    If you’ve been overwhelmed, second-guessing everything, researching instead of choosing, or feeling like everything needs a reevaluation… this one is for you.
