36: Connectedness Week 1 - Intro to Networking, Building Community, and Community Connectedness

 We have been away for a few months and are so happy to be back!

Today we are investigating contentment. We define content along with it's sister words complacent, and covet. Listen in to hear where these matters of heart fall on a continuum, get some takeaways on how to increase contentment, and provoke some reflection on where you currently land. We think you'll leave this episode with thought-provoking application on how to improve contentment in your own life.

Today's episode is POWERFUL.

Courtney and Brigette brought on Julia Erman, friend, wife, special needs mom, entrepreneur, author, educator, and speaker. This is a deep, raw, emotional conversation, but one that we need to talk more about. Julia shares her story which includes a lot of suffering. She shares how her faith has propelled her, what grief has been like, and what has kept her moving forward. 

Julia offers rich wisdom, inspiration, courage, and encouragement to our listeners, and we are so grateful for our conversation today. We would love to know what resonated with you - and be sure to head over to Julia's socials to connect with her. 

Trigger Warning: We talk about cancer and children with special needs with some discussion about child loss. Julia shares her story up until the 18:55 second mark if you would like to skip past her story.

We have a really important conversation to share with you all today! We brought Ashley O'Connor on the show - fitness coach, nurse, podcaster, and bright light for both fitness and nursing communities - to talk about body image, diet culture, and of course our favorite question - what can we do about it?! Ashley shares a ton of brilliant info and insight and we hope this conversation inspires you to love your body more or to untether from the weight of diet culture. And maybe allow you to see how it has impacted your own life as you grow in your wholeness.

We're cheering you on in this journey!

Meet Lindsey Konchar, MSW - author, social worker, coach, mom, wife, and newly certified financial therapist! She is so smart and so fun and we think you are going to love her and also resonate with what she has to share.

Lindsey is the author of I've Got 99 Coping Skills but Being a B*tch Ain't One, where she catalogs 99 different coping skills - some you've heard of and some you haven't! In today's interview, we discuss some of the specific coping skills that Lindsey writes about in her book - and we love the turns and and nooks and crannies we get to discuss as a result. Lindsey also talks about her newest interest in helping women become confident and competent with their personal finance and how she is tailoring her coaching in that space.

We can't wait to hear what you think of this episode! If this resonates with you, go and follow Lindsey, buy her book, and share the episode with a friend that would also love this conversation. Thank you for helping us spread the message we are sharing here at Her Wholeness!

This episode is one of our all-time favorites - filled with so many takeaways about community and engaging with people we come into contact with. Tami is a friend, entrepreneur, mentor, and leader in community-building - among so many other hats she wears. She is rich in wisdom and gifts in the area of community building so we had to bring her on the podcast to wrap up this series.

In today's episode, we discuss events that have shaped Tami's perspective on community, things she does regularly to engage with community, and things she has learned along the way that she wants to pass on to others. This interview is gold and we are so excited to hear your takeaways!

Today's episode is part 2 of our series covering the umbrella topic of "connectedness." Today we are specifically talking all about networking. Or, if that word gives you hives, you can call it "relationship building" instead ;)
 
Courtney starts off the conversation by giving us 5 benefits of networking. We couldn't think of any downsides! Then we wrap up the episode talking about "how-to" networking (with a few "how-not-to" ideas to boot).  We cover the energy to bring to an event, the magic that already exists in your inner and outer circle, how networking can expand opportunities, and how to get you in the right frame of mind to network.

There is something for everyone in today's episode! Share with a friend who might benefit from hearing this message, too!

Also, if you're in our area, come to our Women in Wellness brunch event on 4/22 in Wenatchee, WA! We would love to see you! Tickets--> here

Plastics are not made equally! Today Courtney is leading us through a detailed explanation of the different types of plastics. We are looking at the numbers on plastics and what they mean for our health. Courtney tells us which ones are safer than the others, and what the limitations of all plastics are, including some alternatives for plastics. This one is a short but highly educational one so you might want to have a notepad handy!
