Today’s episode is a short and sweet and a little anecdote about my niece Annabel and the lesson I took away from it. I have shared with you my holiday tradition of making Macaroons for the family and then bringing them to Christmas. This year, because we didn’t go visit our family in person, I made macaroons for everyone and shipped them with their presents. A couple of weeks ago, my niece, Annabel, told her mom she wanted to FaceTime with me and when she got me on the phone she said, “Auntie Emily, I really liked those chocolate biscuits. Can we have some more?” What did this simple request teach me? What can it teach YOU about sharing your voice and stepping up to ask for what you want and need? Find out in today's podcast!

In today's episode, I chat with Jami and Jeffery Downs, co-authors of Streaking: The Simple Practice of Conscious, Consistent Actions that Create Life-Changing Results.

By implementing this methodology into your life, you can help move through self-doubt, complacency, and into a place of achievement and confidence. We discuss: Where the idea for their book and philosophy came from What you can streak and how to decide what to streak What the three golden rules are for streaking Why streaking isn't just another way to start a habit or reach a goal Jeffery J. Downs is a consultant to individuals and executive teams, translating strategy into record-breaking, consistent revenue growth. He has been a FranklinCovey consultant for 10 years.

Join your host, Emily Aborn, in a collaboration with Lindsay Taylor of NaughtyGood Bites as we bring you the NaughtyGood face of November, Sheila Holmes. Sheila was chosen as the nominee for showing up and being her thankful, grateful, joyful self for the theme "Be Thankful". Sheila was nominated by Heather Heigis. Each month, NaughtyGood Bites chooses a woman that was nominated by another in conjunction with a monthly theme. To nominate the NaughtyGood woman in your life, visit their website here. Today we introduce you to Sheila, owner of Halos Hair Salon and Meraki Therapeutic Massage. Sheila has been the successful owner of Halos since 1995, cutting and styling hair—making her clients feel confident and beautiful when they walk out her door. Sheila’s experience as a stylist and her genuine and giving spirit, continually turned first-time clients into long-time and loyal patrons. In 2001, Shelia began exhibiting symptoms of Lyme disease, which went undiagnosed for quite some time before finally landing on a viable treatment. In 2018, Sheila began having problems with her vision, ultimately being diagnosed with an autoimmune disease that impaired her vision enough she could no longer drive and made daily tasks that much more difficult... including cutting hair. This did not stop Sheila. Due to her impaired vision, she was forced to give up her love of cutting hair, but not her love of helping people feel their best. Sheila went back to school and brought massage therapy to her salon—where she can now rely on touch, and not sight—to bring beauty to her clients. When asked what “be thankful” means to her, Sheila responded: “I am thankful for what I have learned about the human spirit and the strength, weakness and survival of my own. I am thankful for the ability to now FEEL a person's intentions—their compassion, understanding and judgments in any given situation. This is a gift. I am visually unable to see a smile, but I can sense it. I am literally forced to trust my instincts and feelings. I am now able to FEEL the kind-hearted humans that I am so blessed to have all around me.” Sheila has made a career and life out of making people feel confident and beautiful. Her challenges have not defined her... they have inspired her and made her an example to us all—wake up every day and be thankful for what you do have... life is plentiful!

Here is your permission slip to rest, stop forcing, and give yourself a much-needed break... even before you get tired! In this super duper short episode, I share about my new M.O. in how I am approaching rest and taking TIME.

Have you read Don Miguel Ruiz' book The Four Agreements? It is a short read that talks about four important principles or "agreements" if you will about how to make our lives better by reducing self-limiting beliefs and thought patterns. The Four Agreements Are: 1. Be Impeccable With Your Word 2. Don't Take Anything Personally 3. Don't Make Assumptions 4. Always Do Your Best Here is my spin on how to apply them to your business, as well as how to ask yourself some of the deeper questions to improve your words and actions for a better life! Here are the follow-up questions for you to journal on/work on after listening to the episode: Be Impeccable With Your Word Are you aware of the power of your word? What are some of the ways you’ve experienced the power of the word in your life? Don’t Take Anything Personally What are some of the ways you have taken things personally? Do you believe the opinions of others are more important than your own? Do you take it personally if someone disagrees with you? Don’t Make Assumptions Provide some examples of why making assumptions can cause so much suffering. Do you assume worst-case scenarios? Always Do Your Best What are some examples of how practicing this agreement would transform your life? Do you tend to push yourself too hard? Do you know when you’ve done your best? Do you find it easy or difficult to practice these agreements? Has practicing one or more of the Four Agreements changed your life?

What has changed on your 2020 "bucket list" as the year has progressed? It is going a bit of a different way than you planned? At the beginning of the year, I embarked on a journey to try all sorts of new things. Many of those things had to be put on hold, so I have found myself experimenting in other aspects of my life and it's bringing me closer to who I really am! This episode is about opportunities to welcome experimentation in your own life and challenging you to see where, if anywhere, you are able to try things in a new way, with a different approach or change in perspective.

I would love to hear from you and your thoughts if any of this hits home for you.

So often in our lives, we are forced to take stock and perhaps put the magnifying glass on things that have been pillars of our existence... yet might not actually be serving us in the best way possible. This year, I am working on breaking down some of those beliefs for myself and removing that which does not actually help me or others, but instead is just a dusty old belief or outdated assumption about how life should be. Those keystones, along with being intuitive in all aspects of life --including your business, is what Tammy Jordan and I talk about in this week's podcast. You are going to love being a fly on the wall in this real, authentic, and thought-provoking conversation with me and Tammy. I have had several beautiful conversations with her and I am a HUGE fan! I think you will be too. Tammy is an author, speaker, coach, and consultant in many things HR, Organization Development and personal development. As the founder and CEO of Leader Consulting Group, she works with business owners and executives in defining their unique culture, hiring and promoting the best talent, developing and training agile and authentic leaders and teams, and managing growth and change. Since 2011, lcg has been a unique consulting firm believing in hearts and minds working together and that connection and empowerment are paramount to business results and success.

A little goody for you this week! Join me in my conversation with Julie Trieb as we talk about her number ONE piece of advice for female entrepreneurs and women. We talk about how she successfully started her online e-commerce business, "Designs by JuJu" sixteen years ago and scaled it to a multi-million dollar family business. And of course, her answer to the question, "What's next after THAT kind of success?!" Designs by JuJu is a leading provider of adorable digital machine embroidery designs in the industry for the home embroiderer. Her passion for creating, marketing, maintaining authenticity, and nurturing her connection with her ideal customers has been responsible for steady growth since 2003. Owner and Founder, Julie Trieb believes being true to yourself and what you love is key to maintaining joy in your business and attracting your ideal customers. She has most recently learned how showing up real, vulnerable and even sometimes messy as your beautiful authentic self will spark joy again and restore burnout that so many entrepreneurs face. Listening to your intuition, discovering your "why", the importance of self-care and daily spiritual business rituals, authenticity, how customers crave real and resonate with imperfection are all topics that Julie is super passionate about.

Has anyone else been watching people get a-ha moments, epiphanies, and breakthroughs during this time and wondering when theirs is coming? Here is my very short episode about WAITING and how utterly uncomfortable it can be. But, like you, I am trusting that there is something on the other side that is worth waiting for.

We talk a lot about putting the right things out on social media, connecting with your clients before trying to sell to them, and focus a lot on our brand's colors, website, etc. etc. But how much of an emphasis do you place on the image you are actually portraying to your clients? How do they feel when they see your headshot? Does it attract the kind of client you want to work with. Lisa Arnold and I, of Lisa Arnold Photography talk all about this; but we get into much more as right now... photographers are temporarily taking some time (along with the rest of us) to be home. Lisa shares openly about how her business is being affected right now and how she continues to show up with a mindset of service and helping others. This is a truly beautiful podcast episode! Lisa's Bio: A self-taught photographer, Lisa started her career shooting weddings. While she loved working with brides at their weddings, she fell out of love the sameness of each event and fell in love with the personal connection of portraits. After about 15 years of weddings, she transitioned, nearly entirely to portraits. Lisa has shaped her business with the question, "How do you want to be seen?" and has a podcast by the same name.
