Create Beautifully‪™‬ Liza Hippler

After a 7-month long HARD season of stress, anxiety and illness, I'm coming out of it and getting back on track (or, getting on a NEW track because the old one wasn't exactly working). 
 
Here's what I'm coming to realize and move toward in my life: the "experts" always tell you the "right" way to do things - your business, parenting, finances, health, even creativity! And so we twist and contort our lives to try to do everything "right," but we find we're sacrificing our energy, our resources and stuffing our intuition in a box and telling it to shut up. And then we feel stifled and we begin to die inside - but at least we're doing it right!! Right? 
 
Wrong. I've been trying to do things this way for at least 20 years and I JUST CAN'T ANYMORE. This past season took me down HARD and there was no way to do anything "right" and even as I can breathe again the "right" course simply won't work if I have any hope of dreaming, creating and finding joy.
 
And so this is what it is going forward: I will no longer contort my life to try to do things. Instead, I will follow my instincts and ask for God's guidance and I will find the way that works FOR ME. Not the way that makes excuses okay, but the way the allows me to show up fully for my life, for the people in my life, for my dreams and my creative ideas. And it's not linear by any stretch of the imagination, for if I tried to make it linear into this non-linear and unpredictable life of mine then I would never move forward - isn't that an oxymoron for you?
 
So, let's chat about this season and what I'm learning and how I'll be showing up. Come along with me and see if this opens up anything for you, too.

It's the Create Beautifully Anniversary Extravaganza Week! It's been one year since I launched my podcast and I'm ready to celebrate and show my appreciation for all of you who have supported me and any new listeners! Get ready for dance parties, giveaways, lots of fun and the GRAND PRIZE(S)...not one, but TWO PHOTOSHOOTS WITH ME! Virtual OR in-person, so you don't have to be local to Nashville! 
 
This episode is a super fun way to get to know more about your host, Liza Hippler! Me!  First, I'll give you all the deets on the Anniversary Extravaganza, which run February 7, 2024 through February 14, 2024 (Valentine's Day)! 
 
But the fun is in the ASK ME ANYTHING questions and answers!
 
I answer these questions:
 
1. What was your worst job? (Hint: It had to do with Care Bears, can you believe it?!)
2. What's your dream photoshoot?! (I have 3, each in different categories. Very enneagram 7 of me.)
3. What are the top 3 must-haves for someone who just turned 40?! (For me, it's just two main things.)
4. How do you get unstuck from patterns that no longer serve you? (You know, still figuring that out, but here's what I'm doing now.)
5. What is your favorite movie and junk food? (Bet you can't guess the main movie I was obsessed with with I was 13!)
6. How do I make friend with my new gray hairs! (haha! Who said I know anything about this?!)
7. What's your favorite oracle deck?
 
I talk Disney, Jesus and...Tommy Lee Jones? Oh, yeah, this is a fun one to get to know me!

What better way to finish out the New Beginnings series than with master Clarity Coach, Diana Morris?! So many of us are looking for clarity. We want to feel that certainty when making decisions and big life choices. We're constantly asking ourselves, "BUT HOW CAN I BE SURE?!" 
 
And this is where Diana asks us, "What is it you want to be sure about?"
 
Boom. This whole episode is chock full of nuggets like that, things that make us stop and take a step backward to the question we need to ask BEFORE the questions we're constantly asking. You're bound to leave this episode with ah-ha's and some major re-frames. 
 
Plus, we get into some pretty mind-blowing stuff around FINDING YOUR PURPOSE. Are we doing it all wrong? Is the whole perceived journey of finding your purpose just a trick? We expose it for what it is and bring some new thinking to the table that ought to give you a lot more peace and, check this, clarity. 
 
Listen in, it's a good 'un.

A word of the year is a beautiful thing to help guide you throughout the year. It's like choosing the type of soil that you're going to plant the next year in. It's not the goal itself, it's not the plant. It does the nourishing, the supporting, the reminding all in an effort to move you forward, to help you grow, to continually prompt you to move toward your Higher Self and connect with your Creator. A word of the year can be used with any kind of spiritual belief or religion - it's for everyone who wants one.
In this episode I discuss:
What makes a great word of the year?
How do you find the perfect word of the year for you?
Share my word from last year & this year and how I'm working with it.
How do you work with your word of the year once you have it?

Aaaaaaand, we're BACK!! Happy 2024!
 
I'm SO EXCITED to start THEMES this year with you! Our first theme starts today and runs through Wednesday, January 31. And our first theme is...surprise...NEW BEGINNINGS!!
Whether or not you subscribe to all the hullabaloo about things like New Year/New You or not, there is energy behind the ending of a 12-month cycle, one that has been celebrated for thousands of years and it can be a beautiful time to get some kind of fresh start or even simply a little fresh energy in any are of your life. Maybe it's just lighting a new candle or getting rid of a single article of clothing, but whatever it is, starting the year with even the smallest of nods toward larger dreams and intentions can open up space that feels exciting. 
In this episode, I dive into what it was like to have committed to having a creative project (this podcast) for 2023. I go over what I felt went well, what didn't and what I'm focusing on for 2024. It's a great listen if you also started something last year, or if you're looking to get your feet wet with something creative this year!
There are also some exciting changes coming in 2024, so listen in to find out what they are!

The words we say to ourselves have incredible power and it can be so hard to move from the critical mind to one of self-love, especially if we have a lifelong habit of being hard on ourselves. Often, we simply don't know what else to say to ourselves, we don't have anything good to replace the negative thoughts. 
This episode is designed for you to repeat after me - I say an affirmation and you repeat it, we do that twice with each positive and accepting phrase. 
Some great places to listen and participate are:
When getting ready for the day in the mornings.
When getting ready for bed in the evenings.
When getting ready to go out with friends, on a date, to a meeting, etc.
When you have time to simply lie or sit still with your eyes closed. 
Driving in the car.
I purposely made this a little shorter so you could use it from beginning to end easily.
