Find Your Magic Kelsey Formost

If you've ever been curious about making money as a creator/influencer, this is the non-slimey, straight up advice convo you've been looking for!

The Creator Economy is ABSOLUTELY a viable source of income, but it can also be a slippery slope for a) the mental health of the creator, and b) feeling pressure to do things you're uncomfy doing in order to make more sales on social media.

My friend Nicole (Niki) Camacho is one of THE most inspirational, positive, supportive, informed humans I know when it comes to the creator economy - and especially mental health as it relates to being an influencer. T

his conversation covers how you can get started making money creating content for social media in a way that lights you up, supports your mental health, and aligns with your ethics and values.

Since recording this podcast, Niki got hired by social media GIANT Linktr.ee as their Emerging Creators Lead - so yeah, she knows her stuff!

Today I want to talk to you about PIVOTS. When you hear "pivot" you likely think of two things: 1. Ross Gellar yelling in a stairwell, and 2. A big shift in someone's life.

In this solo episode- the ONE HUNDRETH EPISODE of Find Your Magic! - I want to talk about the tiny pivots, the mannny one or two degree turns I made over the course of the past three years that led me here to the happiest, and most grounded I've ever been in my life.

Today I'm sharing a story I haven't told publicly (or at least not in full), talking about my codependency recovery journey, and offering some of my thoughts on a pivot I WISH would happen in the online business industry at large.

Buckle up, magic makers. These 27 minutes are quite a ride.

If you're a high-achieving woman who deals with anxiety, overwhelm, and "sensitivity", chances are you've had physical manifestations of those internal experiences.

Dr. Megan Daley originally came onto this podcast to talk about how to regulate our nervous systems, but - as often happens on the pod! - we ended up talking about SO much more than that...

The lesson I keep learning over and over is that ALL our systems are interwoven to create the fabric of our human experience:

- Our family history/the patterns and symptoms we inherit

- Our childhood experience/how we learned to cope/survive

- Our physical history and health; the body really does keep the score, y'all!

- Our emotional maturity & learned coping skills

 

ABOUT DR. MEGAN DALEY: Dr. Megan Daley is a transformative success coach for high-achieving women ready to regain their energy & deep joy for life! After 10 years as a successful clinician, hitting burnout multiple times, and watching her dad die with regrets of living his life for everyone else, she realized the answer to that question gnawing at her gut saying “I checked the boxes, why do I feel like I’m missing something?” didn’t lie in any course or certification or “just take a vacation,” but rather in learning how to regulate her nervous system, hold boundaries, let go of her conditioning & what others think in order to find her authentic self & path.

She now helps countless others quickly move from burnout to badass with clarity & confidence through her signature launchpad sessions, group containers, self-discovery journal, and her podcast, Human On the Daley.

There were so many possible titles for this episode because my guest, women's health practitioner Zara Seligson, dropped so many freaking GEMS I almost don't know where to begin.

If you are a person who menstruates, you've probably been sold "discreet" period products your whole life. Chances are, you've been offered hormonal birth control as a solution to a host of symptoms (which, sometimes, is the right call, but can also prove problematic for others 🙋‍♀️).

In this episode, we're talking about listening to our bodies, working WITH our natural hormone cycles, and how to choose habits and food that support our holistic wellness (especially for women).

Zara is a holistic nutritionist and herbalist specializing in women's health and reproductive wellness and education. She's passionate about people understanding how their bodies works and having the medically accurate information, resources, and self-empowerment to then make choices and take care of themselves and their reproductive systems.

Also, VERY important to note that Zara shares medically researched information, but of course you should speak to your healthcare provider about what's best for you and your body. This conversation is intended to provide inspiration and ideas, not medical advice.

I'm finally ready to share the big news:

 

After months of going back and forth, months of feeling like a failure, and months of being chewed up and spit out by the job hunt machine...

 

I started a new "traditional" job at the beginning of this year.

And I'm so happy about it.

 

Here's the #1 takeaway though: Magic Words Copywriting is NOT going away! In fact, it's getting MORE accessible for anyone wanting real-life guidance on building and growing an online business.


MORE courses
EASIER access
LESS "inbox noise"...

Just straight-up, no-nonsense tools to help you stop procrastinating and start moving the needle!

 

If you're feeling like you're running on empty, or like everyone but you seems to have this entreprenurship thing figured out...this one's for you.
