    188: Embracing Alignment and Expanding Your Professional Impact with Amy Woodall and Lindsay Boccardo

    This episode reminded me why I started podcasting. It was an opportunity to spend time with two of my most favorite people in the world while sharing them with you. It’s a win for everyone! Amy Woodall and Lindsay Boccardo join me for this episode. They are both returning guests, but it has been more than a minute since we last chatted.  You know those people that always make you feel better when you’ve spent time in their presence? That is how I always feel after spending time with these two! They leave me in better shape than they found me, even when I’m already having a fantastic day! I have a hunch they will do the same for you. We are constantly told by the online business “experts” that we need to niche down. Amy and Lindsay are taking a more expansive approach to their podcasts and their work, and it is working for them. They share why they started their podcasts and what keeps them coming back. Spoiler Alert: It’s not big sponsorships and massive download numbers! I intended to talk about podcasting, but as it goes with these two, our conversation goes deeper than just podcasting. We talk about alignment, mindfulness, authenticity, curiosity, playfulness, and of course, and how those things impact our podcast and how we show up.  As we wrapped up the episode, I felt inspired, empowered, and reconnected to why I started podcasting. Let's tap into our alignment, embrace mindfulness, live authentically, nurture our curiosity, and sprinkle a healthy dose of playfulness into our lives.  Podcasting is not just about the numbers and business strategies. It's about creating a space for connection, authenticity, and clarity. Trust your intuition, follow your heart, and let the conversations flow.   Key Takeaways (01:45) The Power of Mindfulness: Amy reminds us that true growth and leveling come from working on the internal stuff, not the external. (14:22) The Power of Self-Reflection: Amy shares how the fears we project on other people are really telling us something we need to discover about ourselves (17:12) The Importance of Representation in Telling LGBTQ+ Stories: Lindsay reminds us that the story of LGBTQ+ folks doesn’t just end when they come out. It’s ongoing and it’s important to continue to hear these voices and stories. (22:58) Worthiness and Confidence: Amy talks about how our ability to learn, recognize patterns, process, and make shifts that impact our confidence and how we view our worthiness as we grow into ourselves (23:12) Finding Alignment: Lindsay stressed the importance of aligning our thoughts, actions, and values. (33:59) Playfulness Fuels Connection: Lindsay emphasized the magic of playfulness in creating engaging environments and fostering connections. Through laughter and light-heartedness, we can tackle serious subjects and make them more approachable. So, let's loosen up and have some fun.   Links and Resources Connect with Amy https://www.linkedin.com/in/amywoodall/ https://theconscioushabit.com/ https://link.chtbl.com/GPzQcHKy https://highvibetriberetreat.com/   Connect with Lindsay https://www.linkedin.com/in/lindsayboccardo/ https://www.lindsayboccardo.com/ https://www.lindsayboccardo.com/the-woods.html https://www.lindsayboccardo.com/theporch   Connect with Jen Download Your Ultimate Guide to My Favorite Podcasting Tools and Resources https://brassybroad.com/ Instagram @brassybroadjen https://www.instagram.com/brassybroadjen TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@brassybroadjen LinkedIN https://www.linkedin.com/in/jen-edds-470351b/ Twitter @brassybroadjen https://twitter.com/brassybroadjen YouTube Channel https://www.youtube.com/c/brassybroadjen Visit The Brassy Broadcasting Company Channel on Apple Podcasts for more shows from Jen https://podcasts.apple.com/us/channel/brassy-broadcasting-co/id6442570108 The Brassy Broadcast on Audible https://www.audible.com/pd/The-Brassy-Broadcast-with-Jen-Edds-Podcast/B08K56267R?

    The Brassy Broadcast is Back

    Welcome to the latest incarnation of The Brassy Broadcast. The podcast that has taken long periods of rest and has served a variety of purposes since it launched in 2014. I'm Jen Edds, The Head Broad in Charge at The Brassy Broadcasting Company and this is my podcast.  There are a few definitions of brassy when you look them up online. Most definitions paint “brassy” in a negative light of being harsh, loud, tasteless, showy, or resembling brass in color. And then….when you scroll down….you see brassy described as brazen, bold, audacious, unashamed, unrestrained by convention and propriety.  I want to live a brassy life - A life lived boldly, brazenly, audaciously, and unrestrained by convention and propriety. In my world, Brassiness thrives in the intersection of curiosity, creativity, and caring no more what most folks think. I'll be sharing what I'm learning along my own adventures to live a bold and brassy life. Here’s your disclaimer: I’m no subject matter expert. Far from it.  I’m just a curious broad full of questions.
