On this show, you'll hear from Lena and guests on the ways in which they said 'YES' to themselves—in the action they took, even when they were afraid, or the inaction taken because that's what was needed at the time.

Starting the business, trying something new, navigating your next chapter...because even though there will never be another YOU, there are others who have felt the way you feel and who've experienced what you have. And by listening to their paths, you'll gain connection, clarity and wisdom. Here's to supporting one another and trusting in joy!

    A Luxurious, Simple Skin Care Ritual from The Dead Sea

    A Luxurious, Simple Skin Care Ritual from The Dead Sea

    Can you imagine floating every weekend in the Dead Sea? 
    Meet Serina, co-founder of The Dead Sea Company.
     
    That is how she spent her childhood and now, together with her sister and brother, they've created a skin care line based around their "hero ingredient" the Dead Sea mud. 
     
    We talk about giving yourself little breaks to reset throughout your week and how a 5 minute skincare routine can feel luxurious, not like a chore. (i.e. You look forward to a mud mask; you don't get excited about taking off your makeup.)
     
    Come along with me and learn how to paint your face!
     
    Bonus! Use code JOY at checkout to receive 10% off your order.

    Mother's Day is coming up—The Dead Sea Mineral Mask Kit is a beautiful gift! I'm also going to include it in grad gifts.

    I'll Never Forget That One Spring Break

    I'll Never Forget That One Spring Break

    What do you think about my dad's comment? 
    Do you ask for help? 
    Do you do it all yourself?
    And the biggest question: What in your life is feeling like a 'no'? Because...if it's not a HELL YES, it's a NO. Take that through every aspect of your life.

    How much time do I need to spend with these people?

    How much time do I need to spend with these people?

    Have you thought of this before (re: your kids)? 
    "How much time do I need to spend with these people?"
     
    You may be surprised by the answer. 
     
    I've completed a course by the Language of Listening—it's based in positive psychology and play therapy. In this episode, I share one of the skills I'm about to put into practice.
     
    It feels weird and too basic and my kids might be annoyed by it—but I'm also looking forward to it! Listen in to see if you want to give it a try with your kiddos. 
     
    Rachel Norman is a parenting coach who facilitated this course. Her blog is a useful parenting gem! She's a guest on an upcoming episode. Stay tuned!

    A Mammogram Scare

    A Mammogram Scare

    It's a lot easier to say 'YES' to things when you may not have a lot more time. 
    Thankfully, I do. But what was the purpose of this recent scare? Listen to hear...
     
    Please talk about what you are currently going through, with someone you trust. You are never alone.

    This Tequila Tasting Ended Up Being...

    This Tequila Tasting Ended Up Being...

    I went to a tequila tasting. It was comical and lackluster and a good example of what NOT to do in your business. My friend who joined me was weeks away from the grand opening of her business. The way this event unfolded shined a spotlight on how she wants to conduct herself and how she wants her clients to feel, in her space. This is valuable intel; and it was gained in an unusual way! 
     
    Also in the episode, I mention the MyFLo app. I have been using this app for many years—it's so much more than a period tracker. It was my introduction into cycle syncing. When a woman, who is still menstruating, understands how she is different/her needs are different during each of her 4 phases throughout the month, her life makes more sense! The clarity you'll receive! That's why I had low energy then! Oh, so my desire to organize everything (!) last week was normal! etc. 
     
    There are specific foods that support you during each phase. Your body craves certain types of exercise during each phase. And, due to hormonal levels, your brain is optimized for different tasks within each phase. I continue to find this so interesting. And also, continue to eat chocolate avocado pudding during my menstrual phase. (simple recipe here)
     
    To quote the app, during your ovulation phase: aka, your sparkly time, "The overall hormonal effect on the brain is one of openness to new things, creativity and beginnings." —Flo Living
     
    Interested in cycle syncing? I highly recommend this free app: myflo app

    Nasha Vida Finally Follows the "Frivolous" Path

    Nasha Vida Finally Follows the "Frivolous" Path

    In this week's episode, we are going inside Vida Voyager—a new local boutique with colorful, Scandinavian vibes. 
     
    Nasha's story is a great example of slowly taking action in the form of following your curiosity. She made a major career change from working as an attorney for the Federal Court of Appeals in San Francisco to moving to Plymouth, Michigan...and taking small steps which lead her to become the owner of the sustainably sourced and chicly curated boutique, Vida Voyager. 

    We need local boutiques. Because even though you can go online and have the world at your fingertips, there's something to be said about creating communities. These shops make up the streets that make up towns. Supporting the owners of these businesses is imperative—they're bringing us something that we may not find on our own. They're opening our eyes and giving us an experience—whether that's by ourselves or strolling with a friend. 


    See how a Stylist shops :)
    We shot an in-store video of me perusing the goods! Click HERE to watch.
