Unrefined SHE Liz Winters & Sharon Bailey

In today's episode, Liz and Sharon sit down to chat with two incredibly special guests…. their kids!

Liz’s daughter Edith and Sharon’s son Fox answer questions posed by their moms in the most endearing and humorous ways that only a pair of 4-year-olds could, including what it is they think their moms do while working, what they think a podcast is, and what they think kindergarten will be like.

This sweet and fun episode is not one to be missed!

*** As a reminder to our listeners, the Unrefined SHE podcast will be taking a short summer break and this will be the last episode prior to their return at the beginning of September.

The to-do lists, the social media scrolling, the news feeds - our minds are constantly inundated with thoughts, images, and information. All to sift through and process day after day. It's no wonder the mental load feels so heavy to bear at times.

Today’s episode is about remembering to take the time to step away from the noise. To find the space to turn it all off, and just be.

Liz and Sharon discuss:


The moments they recognized they needed to create "white space" for themselves. 
How learning to step away and be present in the moment has helped them personally and creatively.
The importance of creating transitions in our life - from work to home and vice versa.
Sharon's personal experience with stepping away from social media for the past 7 weeks. 

We hope you all take the time to step away this week - even if just for a moment. Give yourself permission to unwind, turn your brain off for a while, and create little pockets of peace throughout your day and your life. When we step away from the noise, we are actually able to hear ourselves much more clearly.

What do you really, really want and what brings you alive?

Two questions that you may not have the answer to right away… and that’s okay.

In today’s episode, Sharon sits down with writer, speaker, and coach for feminist creators Liz Kimball, as they discuss the importance of listening to our inner intuition (or soul direction) and why it’s okay - and even needed - to not have all the answers all the time.

They discuss:


Distinguishing your own personal “soul direction” or inner tuition from the cultural ideals that may have been set upon you throughout life.
Recognizing that following your truth may be the right choice, but that doesn’t guarantee it will be the easy one.
Accepting that it's often in-between the answers we seek in life that we really learn about and discover our true joy.

This episode offers a truly powerful message about self-discovery, listening to your own voice above any other and so much more.  

We would love to hear from our listeners: What brings you joy and do you find yourself taking the time to listen to your own inner intuition? Be sure to leave us a voice message letting us know by using the link below!

Do you often find yourself going through a list in your mind of all the things that need to be taken care of in your household? For instance,  scheduling doctor appointments, buying more laundry detergent before it runs out or making sure the bills are paid on time?

If you answered yes - you may be carrying a majority (or what can feel like all) of the mental load in your household. It’s the constant remembering of everything that can take its invisible toll, usually on one partner in a relationship more so than the other.

In today’s episode, Liz and Sharon discuss that often unfair division of mental labor that can happen in a household.

They discuss:


Defining the mental load - Hint: it’s about more than divvying up the chore list
The mental loads they’ve each carried within their own households
Helpful tips to work on redistributing the mental load in your own relationships
Resources to help you better communicate with your partner in an compassionate, yet effective manner.

If you’ve found yourself managing the extra mental load in your household, in what ways has this affected you? Have you been able to speak to your partner about it, and how did that conversation go? Let us know by leaving a voice message using the link below!

What does taking care of yourself look like? The answer: it depends.

For one person, this can mean caring for the health of their body,  while for someone else, it may be taking care of their mental and emotional well-being. Or maybe it’s a combination of the two.

No matter what self-care looks like - it’s something we all need. Today’s episode focuses on some of the ways in which Liz & Sharon have been taking care of themselves recently in health, business and in life.

They discuss:


What self-care looks like for each of them right now, in their current stages of life.
Why having a business coach (or someone with an outside perspective) can be key to being an entrepreneur.
The emotional and mental shifts that can be a part of our relationship with food and the health of our bodies as it relates to that relationship.
Learning how to listen to our body and honor what it’s saying - for both the health of our body and our mental well-being.
The interesting insights learned from a recent tarot card pull - including one for listeners specifically!

What are some of the ways that you practice self-care? We would love to know what that looks like for you currently. Be sure to leave a message by using the link below!
