    464: Cultivating a Positive Money Mindset, Part 3

    Today’s show brings in an important idea when cultivating a positive money mindset: being curious about what we are really good at and enjoy doing. How we feel about money will improve as we do more and more of that which we are really good at and enjoy doing. Hope you enjoy this one! I keep bringing this up, because it keeps being true: the most important person who will hear your responses to the questions being asked in this series, is you. So open up the notes app on your phone or find yourself a journal, grab a cup of tea and your favorite blanket, and let’s hop in! Here’s the Days of Creation 2026 Game Book and guidelines for playing – next week I’ll share how January has shown up as related to what I wrote about the whole month, back on January 1. The following week stay tuned for the conclusion to this series on Cultivating a Positive Money Mindset. Woo hoo!

    463: Cultivating a Positive Money Mindset, Part 2

    How we spend our time, and how aligned our days are spent with how we wish to spend them, is directly influenced by the kind of money mindset we have. Today I’ve got a couple questions to help you get a sense of this alignment for yourself. I keep bringing this up, because it keeps being true: the key person who will hear you, is you. So open up the notes app on your phone or find yourself a journal, grab a cup of tea and your favorite blanket, and let’s hop in!

    462: Cultivating a Positive Money Mindset, Part 1

    I HAD NO IDEA how negative my money mindset used to be. Lack was the word that best describes it. Over several years I’ve opened more and more to feeling abundance. Even with all that growth, 2025 blew the absolute doors off of any abundance mindset I’d ever had. Between the dream home and property my life partner and I now live on, and the up-leveling of service that I have been able to provide with my better money mindset, both as a coach and also creatively, I simply have one thing to say: If I can do it… You can too. I’m taking you into how, with a multipart series on cultivating a positive money mindset. Today we start with two important questions. I’d love to hear your responses to each of them, and your questions about cultivating this mindset too. But the key person who will hear you, is you. So open up the notes app on your phone or find yourself a journal, grab a cup of tea and your favorite blanket, and let’s hop in!

    461: Three Questions for a Great 2026

    Happy new year! For this episode I share three questions that have been super helpful for me in envisioning a wonderful 2026. I share my responses to them… With such curiosity about you. I wonder how you would answer these questions? Here are the questions: 1. A Magical Three from this year’s Year Compass: “I will have the power to say no to these three things.”… What are your three things? 2. & 3. These next two come from my conversations with my AI thinking partner: “What does 2026 wish for you to remember about your own aliveness – especially in the quieter, slower, or less certain moments?” “What felt newly possible for you in 2026 – something that once lived only in your imagination, but that this year brought into form, presence, or even just tangible steps forward?” I hope they help you create a really wonderful coming year! Come Play a Game with Me Today I share about Days of Creation 2026, a way to "proactively build your coming year.” Click here for the post where you can download your complimentary copy of the Game Book and then we can play together! Come Be in Good Company Last year I founded Dreamers & Doers, a group that has grown into a really wonderful and quite magical place. If wonder, magic, and being in good company sound like your cup of tea, click here to read more about it. As always, thank you so much for being here with me.

    459: What does it take for you to allow ease into your life?… Quickie Self-Care Practice #5

    On 23 December 2022 I sustained a head injury that took me many many months to recover from. I spent half the following year in physical therapy supporting my eyes to work properly again. The head injury permanently changed how I engage with print and reading. It had one other, very beneficial, effect: at the hospital I was told “You need lots of rest. If you want to get truly better from this you must take it easy.” It was two days before Christmas. How in heck was I going to “take it easy” two days before Christmas? For the first time in a very long time, I did. The ease that that brought into my life made it one of the most pleasant Christmases in years. Ease. That’s what we’re talking about today. I share a quickie self-care practice that can help us remember that there’s such a thing in the world as ease, and that maybe we can allow some of that into our experience. I also bring a question for you: What does it take for you to allow ease into your life? I would love to hear.
