The Doing Scary Things Podcast

Why is it that often the things you want to do the most in life come with the most fear attached? We unpack this question, while having conversations with people from all walks of life, about the scary things that they’re pursuing in their own lives. We work from an inclusive belief that everyone is creative and share our own scary things, because we realize that is the first step in encouraging people to do things that are scary for them. We want to build a community of people encouraging others to do things that might not come naturally at first, but will bring a lot of joy into life. Consider this your invitation to join us on Thursdays as we release new content every other week!

    Wasting Paint, Pursuing Creative Calling, & Finding Flow with Josie Lewis

    Visual artist Josie Lewis joins us today to share what happened after she experienced tragedy, lost motivation, and then found flow.  She shares how the act of pulling out her watercolors and painting shapes and rainbows changed her life and how the internet found her the very first time she posted a time lapse online. Billions of views later, she has found her people and inspired countless people to find flow for themselves.  She describes in detail how Flow helps quiet our inner critic and why it's okay that being an internet sensation means dealing with trolls, too. She explains that you have to throw a few elbows to make space for yourself and your mental health and to overcome artistic resistance. We also dive in to what it takes to find OUR people online.

  4. What to Do When You're Grumpy

    What to Do When You're Grumpy

    Thanks for joining us today for a minisode with Katie all about what to do when you're feeling grumpy. Because, guess what, no matter how successful you get in life, you are always going to have grumpy days. Shame tells us we should work more, be more grateful, or not need to take breaks. But, in reality, we are multi-faceted humans who are all dealing with a lot on any given day and when our minds and bodies tell us we need a break, we should listen. The truth is that you get to create whatever kind of life you want, and it doesn't have to look like any one else's life! This episode reminds us to spend our days in ways that have and add value to our lives. And, remember, if you are stuck in a rut or just needing help brainstorming your next move in life or business, you can schedule a free consult call with Katie by clicking HERE.    ---------------- Connect with us online! https://www.facebook.com/doingscarythings/ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC7wZ63VjnGKLlU50_59ksjg Email us! doingscarythingspod@gmail.com Instagram: @doingscarythings @thekatiesnyder @annaesthetic23  #doingscarythings Schedule your Free Coaching Consultation with Katie!

    Chasing Wonder with Taylor Hughes

    Meet Taylor Hughes, magician and comedian extraordinaire! Six years ago, Taylor left his job in youth ministry and realized that he, along with his wife and two young daughters, had about "6 weeks left until we have nothing." Faced with this challenge before him, he decided to "go for it". Now, he walks us through his current life, where every day is a hustle and a job interview, and what it's really like to be a performer! He also explains the freedom he has found through vulnerability, the danger that comes from comparison, and his advice to newcomers on how to get gigs. We also get to hear about his incredible podcast "About to Break", the new magic special he recently filmed, chasing wonder & why it's important, and why he's scared every single day. Be sure to connect with Taylor online on his website & on Instagram. ---------------- Connect with us online! https://www.facebook.com/doingscarythings/ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC7wZ63VjnGKLlU50_59ksjg Email us! doingscarythingspod@gmail.com Instagram: @doingscarythings @thekatiesnyder @annaesthetic23  #doingscarythings Schedule your Free Coaching Consultation with Katie!

    Using Resourcefulness During Difficult Times with Mary Hyatt

    Mary Hyatt is someone everyone needs to know! She is a life and mindset coach, born and raised in Nashville, Tennessee who works with female entrepreneurs, helping them find a balance between masculine and feminine energy and helping them get turned back on for life. She hosts the amazing Living Fully Alive podcast that we highly recommend! Mary shares her story from 8 years ago of finding herself in a place of "what happened". It was an awakening moment and it's from this place that she is able to help clients from a place of non-judgement and empathy. She talks with us about the importance of feeling difficult emotions and how to remember the tools that you have during difficult times like the recent Nashville tornadoes and the current COVID-19 pandemic, such as mindfulness practices, meditation, prayer, centering yoga and more. She describes the compassionate energy we should have for ourselves during this time when we are all working our way through the stages of grief, and the importance of giving yourself grace! She reminds us that we are fully resourceful, we can pivot in business to figure this out, there is light at the end of the tunnel and that love always wins. "People survive, adapt, and evolve! We get through hard things. We got this!" Mary is launching a new membership site soon, so be sure to connect with her and check it out! ---------------- Connect with us online! https://www.facebook.com/doingscarythings/ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC7wZ63VjnGKLlU50_59ksjg Email us! doingscarythingspod@gmail.com Instagram: @doingscarythings @thekatiesnyder @annaesthetic23  #doingscarythings Schedule your Free Coaching Consultation with Katie!

    Creativity as a Profession & Taking One Day at a Time with Mary Caroline Russell

    Mary Caroline Russell is an entertainment photographer who started shooting with disposable cameras ten years ago while living in a small Texas town. Now she travels the world with musicians on tours. She shares with us how she built this career without knowing it was even an option, how she got her start back in those myspace days, and why handling each job with care makes a difference. We discuss why knowing your gear well is better than having all the gear, what tour life and being around people 24/7 is really like, and the importance of having community and surrounding yourself with people who will tell you the truth. MC describes the trickiness that is having creativity as a profession and what it's really been like as a female in the industry. Lastly, she gets really honest about taking things one day at a time as a freelancer and how to trust your gut and core values, even when there are well-intentioned naysayers.

    Practicing Gratitude

    Welcome! Today on the pod, Anna shares her thoughts about the practice of gratitude. She recorded this minis ode before the current chaos of our world struck, however we think it's especially relevant today! She discusses the importance of gratitude when all is going well AND when it isn't, and that it can make your present situation more rewarding and provide a necessary, helpful perspective. Anna gives us a practical list of things we can be grateful for each day. It can be so helpful to acknowledge what we DO have going for us, and while gratitude does not nullify a problem, it helps us move forward healthily, and is a tool to navigate challenges and relationships in your life. We hope you'll join us in adding gratitude to your daily life! ---------------- Connect with us online! https://www.facebook.com/doingscarythings/   https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC7wZ63VjnGKLlU50_59ksjg   Email us! doingscarythingspod@gmail.com   Instagram: @doingscarythings @thekatiesnyder @annaesthetic23  #doingscarythings   Schedule your Free Coaching Consultation with Katie!
