134: Creative Self Care with Crystal McLain

2 Listeners

Crystal McLain and I go back a few years, and she's been a great source of much needed "woo" in my world, and that has saved my bacon what feels like a million times. So I'm sharing one of my personal sustainability resources here... Crystal is a licensed Massage Therapist slash podcaster - her podcast has the same title as this episode. Her episodes are easy to listen to and forgiving. And I'll say it until I die, she has the cutest giggle. I personally am afraid of being seen as an imposter of someone who has their crap together, but she has magical powers and can see right through it. She's kind and has gentle suggestions to help. You'll see!

I've shared her reels on Instagram several times, because they are exactly what I needed to hear, hoping it would reach someone else, too.

Do you have a "woo" person, or practice in your life, to keep yourself in check so you can keep on keepin' on? Send me a message and let me know what/who yours is. Feel free to let Crystal know, too - she'd love it!

Crystal's message she wants you to leave with: "YOU have the power to create a healthier, empowered, and more fulfilling human experience."

133: Sustainable Business Planning with Anjel B Hartwell

Anjel B Hartwell and I are talking about planning a sustainable business, and no one better for this conversation than the Wealthy Life Mentor! Anjel has had ALL the experiences in business, and she uses them to make her the mentor that she is. She tells us how she started and about choices she made that weren't ideal, but still shaped her and added to her understanding. And that brings the wisdom to guide others.

Anjel is a member of the New England Podcasters Group - that's how I got to know her. She currently is the host of 2 podcasts: Wickedly Smart Women and Leading Visionaries. She was one of the first, if not the first person to sell a podcast, showing just how badass she is. She talks about leveraging virtual speaking engagements to gain exposure to millions and opportunities to earn money.

She also is a mom and forager and cooks up a storm, and has stories to share about all.

I just loved Anjel's message she wanted you to remember from our talk: "Getting support for building the business you are dreaming of is essential." I hope you enjoy this conversation - I sure did!

135: Rewilding With Native Plants: Christopher Reynolds

I met Christopher Reynolds through Podmatch, and, as I usually do, I followed him on Instagram and TikTok to see what he's about, and his message is so beautiful. His stories are meaningful and deep, and you can't help but be drawn in and want to support whatever he's putting out. Christopher is a high-end landscape designer, and he discovered for himself what a powerful addition native plants are to his design. He encourages everyone to plant natives wherever we can - just add a few even, to add biodiversity to our area. He talks about ways that adding native plants will improve the land, and bring in beneficial insects and birds, and other critters, and the magnitude of those positive changes. All from just planting a few native plants! A small effort for huge and lasting results!

He also talks about the personal project he's working on, Tierra Linda Park, that he's experimenting and bringing back to life using natives, and the results already are truly awesome!

Christopher's own words of what he wants you to take away from this conversation from his guest form: "The solutions to many of our big problems are simple and fast in the scheme of things. We can all participate at whatever level we can and all acts, tiny and grand, contribute. If you know how easy it is, then you can't help but want to take action."
