This week on Raise your Hand Say Yes, I’m interviewing one of my favorite people in the world!  Michelle Ward, the When I Grow Up Coach, was kind enough to sit down with me to talk about letting go of dreams. 

If you don't know Michelle's story, it's a good one! She went from having dreams of being a Broadway Baby to building her own career coaching business. Hear all about how she let go of one dream in favor of another and the turning points that got her to where she is today! 

We also talk about the joy and burdens of being a multi-passionate person and how you can use that to create your own dream career. 

Love you, Michelle! xoxo

This week on Raise your Hand Say Yes, I’m interviewing one of my creative heros, Leigh Standley of Curly Girl Design about all things creative business related. I've been a fan of Leigh's work for years (you get to hear me geeking out at the beginning of the episode) and was so excited to have her on the show. 

In this episode, we talk about one of Leigh's early experiences with the raise your hand, say yes philosophy. You'll also learn what she learned from her mom and how she's handled situations that haven't gone her way. Hint: she didn't give up hope or quit. You'll also learn her advice for someone wanting to get a start in the stationery biz.

This week on Raise your Hand Say Yes, I'm interviewing one of my favorite bloggers, Elise Blaha Cripe about starting before you're ready. Elise is a powerhouse at making things happen and I was so excited for the chance to go behind the scenes of her process! 

In this episode, we talk about Elise's motto "Just start." and how that fuels the creative work that she does! We also talk about overcoming perfectionism, escaping fear, getting vulnerable, and staying productive. This episode is jam-packed with awesome!

Dear Ellerie letters

In this episode of the podcast, Tara Mohr and I talk about what playing big means for women and what it actually looks like (you may be surprised!). We also talk about how praise can be just as damaging as criticism, what self-care really means, and how to focus on service first. We also dive into the topic of fear and how you can move past it towards what you want for your life. 

It's time to change the world y'all. Let's hop to it. (Um. No pressure.)
