  Making Maps: build work that feels alive

  ️ How does cartography relate to your work?

  Sep 8, 20267 min

  In today's episode, I'm sharing a change that has been quietly taking shape: the podcast and newsletter have a new name. It all started when I noticed that the words my clients and listeners kept using were pointing to something I hadn't fully articulated yet. I'll tell you the story of how the new name came to be, what it reveals about how I think about building a business, and the concept that now ties all my offerings together. There's a new metaphor in town, and it might just change how you see your business. Curious? Come listen. --- JOIN ME AT THE FIRST COMPASS CIRCLE Friday at 11 AM Central Time.

  What If Creative Replenishment Wasn't a Reward? What Would Change?

  Jul 21, 20267 minS3

  In this episode, I'm wrapping up this five-part audioletter series with you. We began by acknowledging the exhaustion, delved into what's behind it, and discovered tools to help restore balance. Now, I’d love to share the one thing I genuinely hope will stay with you as you continue on your journey. If you've been feeling stuck in the boom-and-bust cycle, this episode offers a different way out through gentle reframing and questioning to help you navigate the internal barriers that keep you from making space for restoration. Let's discover together how you can step into the next season of your business with energy and excitement, rather than exhaustion. ️ REGISTER FOR JOYFUL IMPACT SUMMER CAMP! Reclaim creative joy this Summer so that by the Fall you’re ready to dive back into your work without forced positivity, overwhelm, or exhaustion!

Be as specific as you can. For example, what's becoming harder to access: your creativity, your emotional regulation, your ideas, your presence with people you care about? If you waited until you truly "earned" replenishment, what would that look like? What milestone would finally be enough? And has that milestone ever actually arrived? What's the smallest possible act of replenishment you could do today, not as a reward, but as maintenance and care? Something so small the voices don't even notice.

  🥀 Worried About Late Summer Exhaustion? What If There Were An Accessible Antidote?

  Jul 7, 20269 minS3

  In this episode, I'm digging into what happens when the expansion stage of our work cycle meets the inevitable dip in late summer. Last week, we named the "exploitation loop", that cycle of pushing until there's nothing left. Today, I want to explore what interrupts that loop before it burns us out completely. How do you reconnect with what fuels you when you're disconnected? And what does it look like to arrive in Fall refreshed rather than resigned? Let's explore this together, and reflect on what you could do to break out of the exploitation loop right this week. 🏕️ JOIN THE JOYFUL IMPACT SUMMER CAMP WAITLIST Be the first to get all the details and know when registration opens! https://caretoimpact.com/jisc-waitlist/ ✦ REFLECT & CONNECT 🌱 Sit, walk, or dance with this question: What's one small, doable, joyful thing you can do this week to interrupt the pattern? 💬 Wanna share your thoughts, reflections, or questions?

  🔄 Are You Stuck in an Exploitation Loop? Understanding Our Patterns of Creative Burnout

  Jun 30, 202611 minS3

  In this episode, I'm unpacking what happens when we push ourselves until there's nothing left, physically, creatively, emotionally. I call it the "exploitation loop," and it shows up in our businesses, our creative work, and our lives. Why do we keep exhausting ourselves even when we know better? Where does this loop come from? And why does it feel so automatic? Let's explore this together. We'll start by naming what we're seeing, with space to reflect before seeking solutions. 🏕️ JOIN THE JOYFUL IMPACT SUMMER CAMP WAITLIST Be the first to get all the details and know when registration opens! https://caretoimpact.com/jisc-waitlist/ ✦ REFLECT & CONNECT 🌱 Sit, walk, or dance with this question: How is the exploitation loop showing up in your business, creative work, or life? 💬 Wanna share your thoughts, reflections, or questions?
