Finding the Throughline with Kate Hanley

Just like your favorite streaming shows, I am taking a hiatus. In the meantime, I’m replaying some of my best stuff. Up this week–all about your energy. As in, your vibe. Figuring out what raises your energy and what squashes it is a crucial part of being able to take care of yourself and your overall energy. I call it doing an energy audit, which sounds very official, doesn’t it? Like someone’s going to come to your house wearing a hard hat and carrying a clipboard? Don’t worry, it’s not like that.This episode sponsored by: NextEVO – Use promo code BETTER to save 20% off your order of $40 or more Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

As I get ready to take the summer off from producing new episodes (although until I’m back I’ll be replaying some of my best stuff–not going to go totally dark on your like your favorite streaming show does!), I’m recognizing the things that this long-term project has taught me about productivity, creating a body of work, staying inspired, and consistency. Hey, maybe listening to this episode can help you absorb those lessons without having to crank out the content! This episode sponsored by: NextEVO – Use promo code BETTER to save 20% off your order of $40 or moreHoneylove–Use promo code BETTER to save 20% off your entire order of shapewear designed to work with your body Learn more about your ad choices.

This week I’m talking about taking a break, which is what I am doing with the podcast–after this week of episodes, I’m taking the summer off from producing new episodes. (But don’t worry, I will be replaying some of my best stuff while I’m away!) Think of this podcast like Ted Lasso or Game of Thrones–sometimes you just have to wait for it to come back. :)It’s sort of a funny story, how I decided to take a break. And it has everything to do with my signing up for a Reiki class in March.

Hand gestures are something that holds a lot of power that we don’t typically give much thought to. (In fact, in yoga, hand gestures are known as mudras and are used to channel the body’s energy in a specific way during meditation.) In our society, we use mudras a lot without giving much thought to exactly how powerful the are. I mean, the OK symbol? Flipping the bird? The peace sign? These are powerful mudras. In today’s episode, I’m covering 5 powerful hand gestures that can uplift you and someone else with just a flick of the wrist–or thereabouts. This episode sponsored by: NextEVO – Use promo code BETTER to save 20% off your order of $40 or moreRitual’s Essential for Women – Save 10% off your first three months Learn more about your ad choices.

This week on the podcast I’m talking about little things that make a big difference. And today’s little thing is microdosing. I’m talking with Tracey Tee, a former stand-up comedian and serial entrepreneur who now runs Moms on Mushrooms, an online community for mothers who are either interested in or practicing microdosing on hallucinogenic mushrooms. I know what you’re probably thinking – what? Why? How? And, maybe, should I try that? Find Tracey at momsonmushrooms.comThis episode sponsored by: NextEVO – Use promo code BETTER to save 20% off your order of $40 or moreRitual’s Essential for Women – Save 10% off your first three months Learn more about your ad choices.

We’re all looking for quick fixes and while I don’t really believe in quick fixes when it comes to personal development, there are easy, fast, painless things you can do that help you keep evolving and growing. Today’s quick fix? Teeny acts of kindness. Microkindness, if you will. You won’t believe how powerful its benefits are. This episode sponsored by: NextEVO – Use promo code BETTER to save 20% off your order of $40 or moreRitual’s Essential for Women – Save 10% off your first three months Learn more about your ad choices.
