After ten minutes of meeting John Michael Schert, I asked him to be on the podcast. He didn’t even know I had a podcast, and I didn’t really know anything about him – I just knew that he was awesome.

In this episode, John Michael and I talk about how to get out of your own way, the impact of his mother coming out when he was a teenager, what he learned from being a dancer, and learning to give space to the unknown. Sound heavy? It sorta is. But it’s also one of my favorite episodes yet.

One Part Pledge / A Challenge By Katie Dalebout of The Wellness Wonderland

Katie Dalebout does a lot. She’s an author, speaker, yoga teacher, podcast host, and the creator of The Wellness Wonderland. After reading that list, you might be thinking “Ooooh, fancy. She’s got it allll figured out.” She doesn’t. And that’s one of the reasons I love Katie so much. She’s very open and real about the fact that she’s constantly working on herself and trying to shift her ideas and patterns.

Because of all that, I thought she’d be a perfect host for this month’s challenge. The funny thing about her challenge is that it changed halfway through the episode. We got so deep on a topic that I asked her to ditch the original one because I thought the new idea would have a greater impact. Selfishly, it’s also something that I really need to work on myself. I just needed a nudge (ok, hard push) to do it. Hoping you’ll join me in this one!

I f you decide to take the pledge:

1. Take the pledge and keep it to yourself. Tell no one or maybe just your best friend at dinner. Write it in your diary. Say it out loud to your bathroom mirror. Do you.

2. Take the pledge and share in the comments here. It’s a great place to talk with fellow pledgers. And also a great place to ask any questions you might have about the challenge.

3. Take the pledge and tweet it. Share on Twitter and tag it with #onepartpledge. Challenge someone else you know to take part in it. These things are always easier with friends.

4. Take the pledge and Instagram it. Take a photo of yourself holding up the OPP hand sign (it’s above) or a photo of you doing the challenge. You don’t even have to show your face. Get creative with it. And make sure to tag me, so I see you! #onepartpledge

If you miss a challenge or aren’t ready for it right now, that’s ok. This isn’t like an episode of Game of Thrones. You can miss one and still know what the hell is going on.

Let’s do it!!

This week I’m talking to one of the most driven and successful women I know, Jessica Zweig of Simply Be. A few weeks leading up to this interview, Jessica told me that she really wanted to “get real” during our interview. And that we did.

Jessica and I discuss exactly what we thought of each other the first time we met, the breakdown that led her to one the biggest decisions of her life, leaving her business and coping with a business divorce, finding love outside her “type”, and the best piece of advice her pops gave her on starting a business.
