What’s Up With Your Stuff? Conversations on the Consequences of ClutterIf Wishes Were Horses with Lindsay de SwartI looked to Lindsay de Swart early last year to help me tune into some limiting beliefs that I’ve held about money. I had the joy of meeting her through our podcasting journeys, and in our first few conversations, she delivered some pretty potent insights that inspired me to unpack some messy financial hangups. Her blend of no-nonsense practicality with the woo woven through makes her a fantastic coach for the dreamer and the cynic alike. Lindsay has worked with women for 17 years to help them ignite and rekindle their 'inner spark' and courage to live their next chapter.

What’s Up With Your Stuff? Conversations on the Consequences of ClutterExpert or Enthusiast? Interview with Lesley McShane of Redesigning MidlifeLesley McShane has spent her professional life educating, entertaining, and encouraging, whether creating content for children’s programming, or crafting immersive experiences for museums.

As a personal trainer and accountability coach, Lesley’s no-bs approach is tempered with her humor and humility, and I imagine she’s the kind of coach who can get you out of your comfort zone with a grin on yo...2023-02-0354 min

Conversations on the Consequences of ClutterSuck It and C Words - Interview with Nathy GaffneyMy absolute favorite part of this podcasting journey has been the people I've met along the way, from other podcasters to people I've blindly approached about engaging with me on this platform. Nathy Gaffney and I met in a workshop and immediately connected, recognizing the performer and former party girl in each other, and the overlap doesn't end there. The evolution into self care and personal expansion is one that inevitably demands a certain level of self-examination, and hearty doses of humility and curiosity, to boot.

Kate Godfrey, her husband, Nate, and their daughters are precisely the kind of people who lean into that challenge. Perhaps it’s growing up with The Facts of Life - this fascinates me. I mean, I’m lucky to get my cats herded on any given day. What are her secrets? This e...2022-10-011h 21

Conversations on the Consequences of ClutterCreating Space Within the Container: Interview with Anastasia Gambill of Bespoke Movement ArtsRegardless of our lifestyles, we can all agree that there is a tendency to attempt to stuff 10lbs of $#*+ into a 5lb bag. Where do we go to increase our bandwidth when we feel as though we can’t stretch any further? The answer: within. It’s amazing how stillness and expansion, flip sides of the same coin, can help us to create space where we once felt confined. Establishing a consistent movement and breath work practice, especially at home, can be transformative when it comes to making your home a sanctuary.

It is clearly the last straw for a working mom of 3, and now that I find myself in the same position, with children accommodating the same relative spread, it resonates on a different level. What’s shifted, generationally? What’s “enough” to ask of our kids, pa...2022-01-1229 min
