The Broken Glass Podcast

Mission. Vision. Core values.

That sounds like a lot of business talk, but the truth is all three of these concepts can be applied to our personal lives, our dreams and career goals, and to our own businesses.

It was’t until a business course prompted me to draft the mission, vision, and core values for Broken Glass Media that I really took a good hard look at the path we took since the blog launched in January 2018, and the future we had set out for ourselves. I looked back at the initial why of the business and my own personal why, and our mission, vision, and core values grew from there.

Everything produced from Broken Glass Media will come from those three solid statements and lists, and today’s episode is a look into our mission and what we’re planning for the rest of 2019. Listen in to hear where our why and mission developed from, what our mission is, and how we’re setting out to keep in line with it.

Start with Why by Simon Sinek

Today’s episode is with Lindsay Artkop, Berklee College of Music graduate, professional drummer, and drum instructor. We dive into how she started in music, her experiences as a professional drummer, how winning the Hit Like a Girl competition changed the trajectory of her career, and how she’s built up her own business teaching students locally and across the world.

"It's shifting to a place where we can value people's music and their art just as much, and hopefully more than their looks"

"Make sure that it's something that you really, really want more than anything and know that it's a trade-off."

"You have to learn from experience"

I’m breaking down one of my pillars of personal wellness that I know from personal experience can be a struggle for so many of us - mindset. It's not just about being positive, it's about overcoming your limiting beliefs, fears, and anxieties to grow, develop your career, and be successful.

How can we overcome limiting beliefs about ourselves, our skills, our abilities? Listen in as I discuss my own story of overcoming limiting beliefs and the three action steps I take each time they enter my mind.

Do you hustle all day, every day to make it in the industry?
Are you exhausted, both mentally and physically?
Do you find that you're dragging yourself from meeting to meeting, networking event to networking event unable to focus?

The hustle of the music industry can definitely take its toll, especially on us women. I’ve been there, working full time, enrolled in a grad program, attending network opportunities, and even interning to get myself out there. I was dragging, had gained weight, and was not sleeping well. It wasn’t until I reached the end of my grad program that I realized something had to change.

I started to really analyze my personal wellness, particularly in four pillars of wellness:

• Mindset
• Fitness
• Nutrition
• Time Management

In today’s episode, I go through each of these pillars to discuss small, simple changes that I made for an incredible impact on my overall wellness. And today I’m feeling stronger, more energized, and ready to take on any challenge that comes my way.

If you’re ready to take managing your own personal wellness a step further, join the Managing Personal Wellness 5 Day Challenge at www.brokenglassmediallc.com/managingpersonalwellness.
