    S2 E16 Challenging Your Beliefs about Money and Success with Townsend Wardlaw 💵💰🌅

    S2 E16 Challenging Your Beliefs about Money and Success with Townsend Wardlaw 💵💰🌅

    What does success look like for you? What if you found out that most people that achieve the success they want and have all the money they need aren't actually fulfilled? This is the mindset challenge that Townsend is encouraging you to think about. Society tells us that we have to chase more money and that if we have money, we'll be safe, secure, and happy, but in this episode, we're challenging this narrative. Townsend shares some of the processes and mindset shifts that he takes his clients through, how his beliefs surrounding money were created, and why the concept of money and success are not tied to happiness and fulfillment.

    S2 E14 Living the Digital Nomad Dream with Dulce Toscano ✨🎒🏄‍♀️

    S2 E14 Living the Digital Nomad Dream with Dulce Toscano ✨🎒🏄‍♀️

    We talk about digital nomad life a lot on this podcast, but today you're getting a new perspective on traveling the world full-time from Latina, CEO, social media strategist, and world traveler Dulce Toscano. Dulce grew up a hard worker in an immigrant family, was the first in her family to go to college, conquered the corporate world, started a successful business, and then followed her intuition and set out on her world tour. A few years of traveling and many business pivots later, she's running a successful business that gives her the freedom to live life on her own terms while experiencing so many cultures around the world and has no intention of stopping any time soon. In this episode, you'll get to hear her incredible story, her advice for following your own dreams and intuition, and some of her favorite experiences as a digital nomad.

    S2 E12 Intuition: How to Hear it, Feel it, and Trust it with Caitie Corradino 🦋🔮✨

    S2 E12 Intuition: How to Hear it, Feel it, and Trust it with Caitie Corradino 🦋🔮✨

    Hey Pollen! How often do you listen to your intuition? Do you tend to ignore that feeling deep in your belly or do you boldly live according to it? 

    I'm so excited to share this episode with Caitie Corradino where we dive into how intuition can bust right through your fears. Intuition can sometimes sound a bit out there — woowoo, even — and people tend to misrepresent it as only gut instinct. Before you dismiss intuition, think about what's stopping you from tuning into it and following it in the first place. 

    Chances are, your intuition is trying to lead you to make changes and take risks. I know, it sounds terrifying — I've been there too. It's much easier to "be rational" and do things that seem like they make sense. But that just puts you right back on the hamster wheel. For anyone feeling the struggle, press play and find out what intuition really is and how you can follow it to make decisions!

    S2 E5 Affiliate Marketing and Referrals: How to Use Them in Your Creative Business 🗣️ 💰

    Hi Pollen! I'm coming at you today with a solo episode on a topic we probably haven't thought about in years — if at all… What would our world be like without Instagram?

     

    There are so many ways to grow your business and make a mark in the creative market outside of Instagram. Things like affiliate marketing, referral programs, collectives and so much more, 

     

    As creative entrepreneurs, Instagram — and social media in general — is ingrained into what we do, right? But some of us don’t feel super aligned with it or are ready for something different. And that's alright! There are lots of ways to market ourselves. All we have to do is get creative.

     

    So in this episode, we'll delve into the other tools we can use to burst into our preferred markets and build our empires. Social media is a tool, but it's not the only tool in our box!

    Hey Pollen! I’m back with another exciting episode and this time, we’re joined by Clara Artschwager! This expert episode on people-pleasing and finding the right match for you will no doubt be a juicy treat for you.

    So many of us are used to bending over backward to cater to the needs of others. Sometimes, it’s the only way we know how to survive and keep a calm environment. Other times, we want to make other people comfortable so we can be comfortable. This people-pleasing tendency often shows up in both our businesses and relationships.

    Once we realize we’re engaging in people-pleasing behaviors, we have to accept the struggle, be patient with ourselves and grant ourselves grace. Only then can we work towards trusting the universe and finding what (or who) works best for us. Tune in to this episode to discover how you can take that first step!

    S2 E1 Recap of Year One as a Nomad 🚙 ✈️

    Hey Pollen! I know it's been a while since the last episode — six months and a bit more! But I'm back for a brand new season. I've been living as a nomad for a YEAR now, and I'm excited to share what that journey’s been like with you.

    I'll say it straight. Living as a nomad hasn't been easy, but it's 100% been worth it. Every day has been a new experience, new challenge, new love, and new thing to feel. Living your dream life is worth the effort and it’s fully available to you. 

    It's not all hot air and empty inspirational quotes. It can happen, and if I've lived it, you can too. In this episode, I talk about the ins and outs of living alone, meeting new people, and reframing my life to be one that I can truly love. Tune in and find inspiration to push for your dreams.

    🎧Episode Highlights

     

    [4:48] Welcome Amelia!

    • She grew up in Australia but has lived in Banff, Canada for the last fifteen years.
    • Amelia is a reiki practitioner, human design expert, and energetic alignment mentor.
    • Everything Amelia does is based around energetics. 
    • She uses different modalities to lead and guide women to cultivate energetic alignment.

     

    [7:44] What Is Human Design?

    • Human design is the science of the aura. It is learning about your personal energetic body.
    • It’s an amalgamation of a few things: new-age astrology, the Kabbalah Tree of Life, The I Ching, Vedic philosophy, and the chakra system.
    • It is your soul’s energetic blueprint on how to live your perfect life.
    • It indicates that your soul knows the path, and human design teaches you how to use your body’s consciousness as a decision-making tool to teach you where to go in life and how to make decisions.

    [11:32] Amelia’s Journey From Sparkly Farm Kid to Bad-Ass Entrepreneur

    • Amelia grew up on a farm in Australia, where she lived freely. As a little girl with bright blonde hair and rainbow boots, she was full of life.
    • She was super busy as a kid (and still is).
    • Her mother taught her to do the things that made her happy. She would say, “march to the beat of your own drum.”
    • After graduating highschool, Amelia took off to travel around the world.
    • Amelia’s mother was unconventionala world traveler and did the hippie trail from London to Singapore in the 70s. 
    • Aussies in general are known for traveling and being all over the world!
    • Amelia decided she never wanted to go back to school because she had a terrible experience. Instead, she decided to do her own thing.
    • After working in the service industry and traveling, she found herself in Banff, working at the beautiful Fairmont Banff Springs Hotel.

    [18:34] The Start of Matcha Nude

    • Amelia had to give up coffee due to adrenal fatigue and started drinking matcha. 
    • Then COVID hit, and she decided to use the downtime from her work to build a matcha company.
    • She wasn’t allowed to be at work due to COVID so she went all in on her new company.
    • Amelia invested a lot before she started making money, but luckily one of her sisters backed her because she believed in her.
    • Along the way, Amelia learned more about human design and used it as a tool in her business. 
    • As she studied, she worked to remove the societal conditioning so she could really learn to listen to herself again.

    [23:40] “I was just like, Okay, well, this is what we're doing. Like I trust myself, I trust that I am very capable. I'm also very hireable and I am great at sales and talking to people. Like if this doesn't work, somehow, I can fall back on all of my other skills. Right? Like, worst case scenario. I'm back where I started.”

    [24:20] The Switch From Matcha Nude to Human Design

    • Amelia’s business was going well. She was selling powdered matcha online and baked goods, face masks, and other matcha products in person.
    • Every part of her body was lit up by it, and she threw herself into her work.
    • The more she learned about human design, the more she saw how it changed her life.
    • She knew she wanted to create an impact for women and had always been into energy healing (her mom took her to acupuncturists and energy healers from a young age). 
    • She completed her human design and reiki practitioner certifications and started speaking at retreats and practicing at friends' houses.
    • Logically, she knew she should continue with her matcha business because it was making money. But if human design taught her anything it was that as a manifesting generator, if she wasn’t going to show up from a place of full force, it was going to stop working anyway. 

    [27:48] Selling Matcha Nude and Building Healing by Designs

    • Amelia told a few people she knew that she was thinking of selling. One of whom was a micro-influencer for her already and she said she wanted to buy it.
    • The process was really powerful. Amelia started and grew this company and made it successful. Selling it was bad-ass.
    • Afterward, Amelia kept working as a server while she built her new business in energetics, which worked really well for Amelia as a manifesting generator!
    • She knew that building a business takes time, and there’s no shame in working another job for financial stability or just because you enjoy it (like she does serving).

    [38:30] “My desire to do everything is not the same as my capacity to do everything.”

    [40:56] The 5 Design Types

    • Three of the five design types are energy types, and the other two are non-energy types.
    • Energy types are here to contribute to the communal pot of energy for the world. They are the builders and creators.
    • The non-energy types are leaders and guides. 
    • Manifestors have a very fiery energy that comes in really hard and fast and stays for a while until it goes away, followed by periods of rest. They are the fire-starters. They have a big aura and are energetic leaders.
    • Generators are here to lift up the rest of the world. The lie they have been told is that to do that, they have to do things for other people – when actually, they naturally lift up the world by doing things for themselves.
    • Projectors are here to lead and guide. Their outward energy is less. They are here for their leadership and their wisdom. They have a penetrating aura. They see deeply into people and systems. They are here to take what’s been created and make it better.
    • Manifesting generators typically try to hustle to get where they want to go. But really, the best way for them to reach their goals is to love what they’re doing. They are meant to have so much fun and enjoy life.
    • Reflectors are also here for their wisdom, but they are super rare! They only make up about 1% of the population. They are here to go to places that make them feel good, as they are very susceptible to their environment.

    [47:37] “There's no such thing as compatible and incompatible. It's more just the more we know about each other, the more space we can hold for each other, the more we can support each other.”

    [49:17] ⚡Rapid Fire Questions With Amelia 

    • Amelia is a Virgo sun, Aquarius moon, and Leo rising.
    • She has an entrepreneurial crush on Robin Savage, and Jacqueline Shore from @ thisisfemme_
    • Creativity, to Amelia, means self-expression in whatever way or however many forms you choose. 
    • She is currently listening to Jack and Rob's podcast, and Morning Microdose
    • Her current reads are Brene Brown’s The Gifts of Imperfection and Glennon Doyle’s Untamed.
