Born & still living in a small, Oregon town.

Into: Evolutionary Astrology, Intuition and Creativity. Here to learn to market in a way that feels good for me and kicks some info out for others.

I'm looking for a way to balance home and work life: working online from home. 

I love the 1:1 client work I do, yet struggle with scheduling, some technical stuff, consistency in showing up regularly on social media, and sometimes with charging.

2 learning from interviews 2:16
Your favorite interviews: what are you learning about how they do it?

From now on, as you listen to / watch any interviews, especially from your favorite hosts or guests, ask yourself: What is the host doing well, that I can learn from? What is the guest doing that is effective? What are they not doing as effectively, that I can learn from? I welcome you to share your learnings below. Let's all become more effective hosts & guests, with our collective input!

I tend to listen to the podcasts the my friends or teachers send me, like if I'm on their email list...I might click and watch while I do the dishes. So I'm watching someone who's messages and teaching style I already know be interviewed by someone else. Example: https://www.youtube.com/wat... 

I like this interview, though it's obviously 'shiny.' Very 'Tonight Show'/'Late Show' vibes with the physical set and chairs. mmmmm...sometimes I get annoyed (in general) when a host talks about themselves/their own journey during an interview....even if it's on topic. I'm not sure why yet, or when it bothers me and when it doesn't.

When I was in George's ai tools (CHAT GPT or text), I watched interviews on ai tech and culture, etc. I wish I'd noted the ones I liked. This was out of my box. Some were too boring (interview style) to watch, others were good. 

This was my fav: https://www.youtube.com/wa... I especially like the ending. The interviewer has an open, curious and positive view on ai furthering human creativity...and asks the right questions to bring specific examples out from his guest. 

And I recently LOVE this muckraker:
https://rachaelkayalbers.co... I like how she is humorous and serious at the same time, and how she encourages her guests but doesn't 'battle' them.

And just because I can't help it. My husband doesn't get this, but it makes me laugh out loud. Maybe we can about mistakes by watching exaggerated ones (even if intentional for humorous purposes). https://www.youtube.com/wat...

Developing Consistency and Discipline, and the importance of moving through resistance 19:24

George Kao's Focusmate Group Yes, everything in business is spirit-based, but don’t use that as an excuse to not be organized. 😄

HAHA! arrow to the heart! I've been that 'walk 3 hours in the woods' person. It's really connected to my spirituality, but I'm here to learn consistency and discipline, so this video is spot on. What movement can I experiment with at home, before coming to the page/computer? Can I sub A 20 minute walk through the neighborhood for the full woods experience? 

The answer is YES. I've learned this...but now to do this more often, so it becomes consistent. 

I'd like to explore the 'ew' part of plotting/creating...then walk to process and distance, come back to edit or hit the send/upload video button :)

@Sonja Carey I love seeing this, Sonja!  Very much looking forward to how this goes for you.  To practice creating more lightly ✨

@Sonja Carey Your comment inspires me to at least try! I notice I remain stuck at home, because I'm so afraid that going for a 20 minutes walk will distract me and change into walking far away and not going back to work...
