Good lives require you getting in alignment with the purposeful work, key relationships, and energizing activities that are most important to you.    I interview high achieving professionals, psychologists, sociologists, and medical experts on how we can you can reclaim your humanity, find more balance, and choose to live and work in a way that truly aligns with your purpose. It’s about breaking free from the toxic cycle of overwork and finding a new, sustainable way forward.

About Today's Episode In this episode, I interview Natalie MacNeil, discussing her journey as a futurist and the importance of overcoming burnout through rest and deep listening. We explore the intersection of futurism and embodiment practices, the significance of trusting intuition, and how AI can empower entrepreneurs to achieve their goals while maintaining balance in their lives. The conversation emphasizes the need for transformation in the face of rapid technological changes and the potential for diverse voices to emerge in storytelling. In this juicy episode, Natalie and I explore the transformative impact of AI on productivity and service-based businesses, the evolution of ambition and authenticity, and the importance of rest and healing from burnout. Natalie shares her journey of building an AI dream team, the challenges and benefits of integrating AI into business workflows, and how her relationship with ambition has shifted from seeking external validation to focusing on authentic contributions. We even discuss the societal implications of AI on job roles and the necessity of embedding rest into daily life to combat burnout.   Takeaways Deep listening is essential for personal and professional growth. Trusting intuition can lead to fulfilling career paths. AI is a powerful tool for reducing workload and preventing burnout. Futurism blends data analysis with imaginative visioning. Making space for rest allows deeper truths to emerge. Intuition can guide decisions that defy logical reasoning. The future will see a democratization of resources through AI. Diverse stories and voices will flourish in the coming years. Embodying practices can prepare us for radical changes ahead. AI can significantly reduce workload and increase efficiency. Building an AI team requires initial effort and experimentation. AI tools have evolved, making workflows easier and more integrated. Custom GPTs can be trained to take on specific business roles, and every job will need to incorporate AI to remain relevant. Ambition should be aligned with authenticity and personal values. Rest is essential for sustainable productivity and creativity. Burnout cannot be healed by vacations alone; daily rest is crucial. Defining success on one's own terms is vital for fulfillment.

    PYG 164 - Branding yourself when you RESENT what you USED TO LOVE about your brand

    Join me for Resonance & Relevance - my brand new storytelling workshop. Learn more and register here.   Let me be honest for a second.   I have encouraged clients to make themselves visible for YEARS. But some time ago, I began to question the point of it all.   Yes. I had to sit with the truth of how tiresome visibility actually was - even for me.   With all of the other issues in the world competing for my mental space and emotional energy, constantly courting the spotlight became exhausting.    (You can see how problematic this could be for a visibility strategist’s business model…)   At a certain point I concluded that if incessantly sharing was the key to me having a profitable business, I would have to shut my business down.   I was going to have to learn how to make my brand discoverable and compelling without creating a ton of extra work.   I was going to have to learn how to connect with those who needed my work WITHOUT creating yet another ferris wheel on which to exhaust myself.   Or else, my business as I knew it was a wrap.   Fortunately, I didn’t have to shut things down. But I did come up with some parameters around how I show up. And it changed how I began to advise my busy, high-achieving, often introverted clients to show up when the world around them is so uncertain. I'm calling these parameters my "New Rules of Visibility." In short, they are: RULE #1: Honor your season and your current capacity. Don't contribute to your own burnout by making yourself a slave to a social media posting schedule. You are not a machine. RULE #2: Quality over quantity. Seek to share in order to connect and resonate with your audience instead of sharing for sharing's sake. Share your newsworthy news. RULE #3: Leave long-lasting breadcrumbs. A durable trail of high-quality content can help newcomers get up to speed quickly on who you are. Social media trends like reels are fun, but long-lasting stories placed strategically will get you sooooo much more mileage as a thought leader and won't wear you out in the long run.   As you may imagine, solid storytelling is a key component of the new rules. Instead of sharing gratuitously, we are popping up to the surface to share memorable insights that actually help others make sense of our current world. We’re stepping into the spotlight to share the moments that create connection instead of add to the noise. And we’re able to do it without wearing ourselves out. 🚨 Last call to join me for tomorrow at noon for my latest workshop: Resonance & Relevance - I’m so excited for it! Whatever has changed for you during the upheaval of the last two years, it’s probably time to reintroduce yourself. And it's time to do that in a way that takes into account the way your life, responsibilities, and perspective on your purpose has changed. Because nothing is the same.

    PYG 163 - What happens when you have to disappear, regroup, and communicate your COMEBACK?

    Sometimes, you have to disappear for a while... It can feel oddly vulnerable to disappear from public view - whether your version of public view is social media, a public speaking circuit, or the networking rooms for your industry. But EVERYONE disappears at some point - whether they leave a job, lose a job, have a baby, bury a parent, shutter their business, lose their motivation, or like me, succumb to burnout. In the past two years, so many of us have had to step out of the spotlight. We’ve had to leave and return and sometimes, turn around and leave again. A client disappeared online because he left the job industry and professional identity he’d held for nearly a decade and started a new entrepreneurial venture. He didn’t know how to share that news. I’ve disappeared personally and candidly due to burnout, depression, and being just plain exhausted.  After having a baby and tending to my older kids and trying to evade COVID, it’s been a lot.  I had to take care of myself and sadly that meant I had to deprioritize coming here and sharing with you. While circumstances among us may vary, a lot of the mental chatter we experience when going through that revolving door is universal. On the occasion of your return, you wonder: Will people still care or be curious about what I’m up to? Are they still there? Do they even remember who I am? And...how will I let people know that I’m BACK? I'm hosting a new workshop called  Resonance & Relevance on June 03, 2022 at 12pm EST and I hope you can join me live. This workshop is for you if you’ve been struggling to reintroduce yourself to your network after stepping away from the spotlight for whatever reason, and you want to learn a simple way to put yourself back on people's minds. Register for Resonance & Relevance at http://www.amandamillerlittlejohn.com/classes or on Crowdcast here.     But whether you join me or not, remember this:It’s NEVER too late for you to make a comeback. It's good to BE BACK. Thanks for listening.

    PYG 162 - How to overcome the Imposter Syndrome that's holding your brand back

    Imposter syndrome is real, but there’s a fix: radical self-discovery. Radical self-discovery isn’t just a nice to do, it’s a must-do. And it’s a must-do on a REGULAR basis if you want to step into the highest level of your purpose and live the most empowered version of your personal brand.

    PYG 161 - Prayer and meditation as a personal brand strategy

    On today's episode, I take you behind the scenes of the morning routine that changed everything and helped me OUTGROW my goals.This new morning routine changed EVERYTHING - the consistency mixed with  intention helped me outgrow my prayers in 30 days.Many thanks 🙏🏾 to Kailei Carr @kaileicarr Ash Johns @ashinspires Monique Ruffin @moniqueruffin and Jereshia Hawk @jereshiahawk *** Welcome to December! How are you feeling about 2020? If you're like most of my clients, you may be thinking about what you set out to do this year, how the pandemic threw a wrench in your plans, what you managed to get done, and what you didn't accomplish. But as I've said before - 2020 ain't over. There's still time to squeeze some juice out of this year, and I for one have big plans to do just that. High achievers like us don't take enough opportunities to pause, reflect, and put a plan in place for our own growth and development. It's one of the very first things we tend to deprioritize when life gets busy. That's why taking the time to reflect, set intentions, and plan during the month of December is so essential. Life comes at you fast, and once things pick back up in January, it will be almost impossible to find the time and mental space to make the BIG DECISIONS that will drive your progress for the year. So if you've been on the fence, consider this your LAST CALL to 1) join the December PURPOSESCAPING Group Intensive that starts Sunday December 6, and 2) Apply for the 6-month visibility mastermind and get the December Intensive on me. Over those fertile four weeks leading up to the new year, I’ll be coaching you using elements of the PURPOSESCAPING framework. I'll also help you to set your intentions for 2021 and strategize with you to map out a tactical/spiritual/malleable plan for your platform, visibility, and revenue for next year. And if you end up joining us for the visibility academy, you'll already have some serious momentum as we kick off sessions in January. >> Click here to apply for the 6-Month Visibility Mastermind Click here to apply for the December Intensive Only
