Making Recurring Revenue a Reality with Melissa Lanz

“There's just nothing better than being able to say that you have some recurring revenue happening in the background of your life.” –Melissa LanzDream of having a business you can take time off from and still make money? I’m talking about recurring revenue with Melissa Lanz, founder of Fresh 20 and expert in subscription services and memberships.Melissa’s subscription business has allowed her to buy a home, set up a pension fund, put her kids through private school, travel the world with her family and care for sick parents. She advocates for starting subscription and membership programs rather than high ticket businesses.A goal of a 6-figure business won’t drive you forward. Your business can be huge, but you need to start with a real why, a real reason you want to make the money.We talk about: Starting with limited resources and a personal list of 400Amplifying your own messageBeing really clear about what you want to do with the money you makeLaunch mindset and learning from your members/subscribersInteresting ideas for subscriptionsThe magic of automating your processesABOUT MELISSAMelissa Lanz is a former internet marketing executive who quit her day job to promote good eating habits in the midst of a national health crisis. As founder of The Fresh 20, Melissa strives to bring fresh food back to the household table and reduce the amount of processed ingredients being used. During the fall of 2009, Melissa dedicated her efforts to creating this tool for busy families and singles stuck in a takeout rut. To further her goal to be a part of The Food Revolution, she wrote The Fresh 20 Cookbook (Harper Collins 2013) and also promotes education in nutrition and healthy cooking through speaking, locally in Southern California and throughout the country.LINKSThe Fresh 20DOABLE CHANGESAt the end of every episode, we share three doable changes, so you can take what you've heard and put it into action. Action is how change happens.Often we feel like our actions have to be huge to match the bigness of our desires, but we have seen over and over and over again that the little things add up. By stacking up a series of Doable Changes, you will create that big change that you crave. Choose the one that really resonates with you this week and really make it part of your life. Here are Three Doable Changes from this conversation:DEFINE YOUR WHY. What do you want from your business? Do you want to buy a house? Travel? Retire a spouse? Send your kids to college without loans? Be really clear about what you want instead of an amount you target. If you are just getting started your initial why might be smaller — like keeping your babysitter.TALK ABOUT WHAT YOU DO. You need to amplify your own message. What your most excited about right now about what you are doing? Why are you so passionate? Practice talking about it. If you aren’t talking at all, set a goal to talk to five people this week. Once you are warmed up, bring it up everywhere.AUTOMATE ONE PROCESS. Automation is essential for passive income and to buy yourself some time away from your business. To automate a process, start by documenting it. When you see the steps and who does what, you can see where you can delegate or outsource more (and have the information somebody else needs to do the job). You can also see where you can use technology to set ahead or automate.

Friendship with Sara Barry

“I keep hearing you can't make friends as an adult, and I push back on that because I have. Every time that comes up, I think about who I have in my life, how I met them, and how we expanded things.” –Sara BarryYou can’t make friends as an adult … or can you? Friendship comes up every season as a goal for people in FLOW365. The issue amped up during the pandemic, but continues to be a challenge. I’m excited to talk with Sara Barry about making and maintaining friendships.Let’s be real. It IS hard to make friends or even keep up with the friends we have at this stage of life. It takes time and intention.We look at questions like: How do we make friends when we move to the suburbs or country? How do we maintain friendships when we are busy with business and kids? How do you move beyond seeing somebody at yoga class or meeting them in a mastermind to connecting beyond that?We talk about:Shifts in friendship over time and as your life changesIntentionally making time for friendship and ways to connectBeing the one who always initiates and not taking no personallyGetting clear on what you want from friendship — do you need a 2 am friend, a friend you talk to daily, somebody to talk about work with, somebody to go places with … Creating ways of connecting that sustain themselves — accountability check ins, weekly walk, annual traditionsReaching out to friends you’ve been out of touch withABOUT SARASara Barry is a content advisor and copywriter for coaches and other heart-centered entrepreneurs. As a content advisor, she helps clients decide which content to create, say what they really want to say, and make the most of the content they create. As a copywriter, she helps people build connection through content, streamline processes, and turn short content into books. Clients call listening her superpower and regularly end calls saying they feel so much  calmer with clarity and a plan to get their content done.LINKSSarabarry.comhttps://substack.com/@sarabarrywriteshttps://www.linkedin.com/in/sarabarry/DOABLE CHANGESAt the end of every episode, we share three doable changes, so you can take what you've heard and put it into action. Action is where change happens.Even though we want big change, it’s really little things done over and over that make the difference. So pick a doable thing. Put it in your calendar. Weave it through your days for a week and then move on to the next one. It will have a snowball effect.Here are three Doable Changes from this conversation:ASSESS YOUR FRIENDSHIPS. Make a list of friends you have. How did you meet them? How do they fit into your life right now? What are you missing in your friendships? Do you need 2am friends? Do you miss having people you talk to or hang out with every day? Use this assessment to think about what you really want from friendships and what you already know about making friends.PLAN TO CONNECT. Make a list of people you want to connect with in the next month. Include people you see regularly and people you haven’t talked to in a while. Schedule time to reach out — write a letter, send a text, schedule a call, walk, coffee date, or other outing. Make time in your schedule to actually do the thing with your friend.EXTEND A NEW FRIENDSHIP. Sometimes we meet people in one context and don’t know how to go beyond that. Practice taking the next step. Ask that person in your mastermind to be an accountability partner. Suggest coffee or a walk with the person in your yoga class. DM the person in a group that always says things that resonate.

Choose one that really piques your interest and roll with it. Here are three Doable Changes from this conversation:CHOOSE AN ORACLE DECK. There are so many different kinds of oracle cards. They come with quotes or various kinds of artwork. They have different themes and styles. Find a deck that resonates with you. Can’t decide? Choose more than one … they will serve you at different times.PULL A CARD. Take a minute to get grounded and detach from what else is going on. Shuffle the deck. Pull a card. Look at it. Start with what you see without trying to attach meaning. What does it evoke in you? If you know something about symbolism you can add that in. If you choose you can read the guidebook that comes with the cards.TRY A SPREAD. You can do a past-present-future spread, a card a month for the next quarter, or a 5-card spread for the coming season with these questions: Where should I focus my energy in this season? What must I clear in order to grow? How can I live in alignment with the energies of this season? What should I explore? What’s waiting for me in the next season?

Journaling Practice with Lynda Monk

“Our journals are a place to really be curious, to actually discover things we don't already know, to ask powerful questions.” –Lynda MonkCan journaling help with burnout? Social worker and life coach Lynda Monk found that reflective practices help avoid burnout. Fortunately, she was a lifelong journaler and journaling is a reflective practice.You don’t have to be a long-time journaler to get benefits. It took me a long time to develop my own practice, and I’m excited to get you some tools to develop yours. It’s not for everybody, but if you’re interested it can be a powerful self-care tool.Instead of just recording what you did, try making a list of questions about your life or some aspect of your life. Then use each of these questions as a journaling prompt. Think of your journal as a means of exploration and discovery. You can also include  affirmations, intentions, gratitude, stream of consciousness writing.We talk about: What to write about — questions we have, the things that keep going around and around in our mindsGetting clear on your why of journal because that can shape the form of your practice and your reason can motivate youPicking a time that feels easy — it might not be first thing in the morning — and recognize how much you can pack into a short timeLetting go of perfectionism in our journal and in our practiceNoticing patterns in what we write and what we can learn from that and using it as a mindfulness practiceHow to use ideas if your journal becomes a catch allABOUT LYNDALynda Monk, MSW, RSW, CPCC, Director of The International Association of Journal Writing (IAJW.org), an inspiring membership community for journal writers worldwide, is known for her profound insights into the therapeutic and life-changing power of journaling.

If you get stuck wondering what to write about, write a list of questions you are curious about or things that are on your mind. Then use one of those as a prompt the next time you sit down to journal.CHOOSE YOUR WHY. What do you hope to get out of journaling? That why may help shape what you write about or when. Use that why as a motivation when you are struggling find the time or follow through. “I’m going to journal now, because …”SET A TIMER. It’s amazing what you can write in 5–10 minutes. You can do it first thing in the morning or during those awkward gaps of time. Schedule 5–10 minutes or pull out your journal when you see a space like that. Set a timer, write, and when the timer goes off, let yourself be done.

Journaling as a Path to Healing with Parrish Wilson

“If we're gonna be creative, there needs to be space in our life.” –Parrish WilsonYou don’t have to write or journal every day to have a regular practice, but having a practice can be extremely powerful and even healing. Writing therapist Parrish Wilson agrees with me that an every day isn’t required.Parrish uses therapeutic writing, which is any writing that supports our mental well being. That could be many things — autobiography, memoir, poetry — but the most common form many of us are aware of is journaling.How do we use journaling if we don’t do it every day? What does a journaling practice look like? Is there a difference between journaling on your own and journaling with a therapist? We dig into these questions.We talk about: Reasons to journal in different moods Getting to know your own rhythm and flow in creating a practice and allowing writing to happen without being tied to an outcome or planExpressive writing as a combination of facts and our thoughts and feelings about themThe heal and release cycle and why you might feel worse, temporarily, after writingWays to do more embodied writingThat it’s the writing, not the therapist that does the work in writing therapyABOUT PARRISHAs a Writing Therapist, Parrish Wilson brings together over twenty years of experience working and writing in the field of mental health. She holds an Masters in Counselling and Spirituality, and a Graduate Certificate in Creative Writing. Her studies have focused on therapeutic writing as a tool for processing trauma and emotional distress. In her work with individuals and groups, Parrish crafts transformational writing experiences leading to deep personal transformation. Writing therapy takes many forms and Parrish can support you however you are pulled to write: journaling, memoir, poetry, essay or short story. In her non-work life, she’s a mama to two neurodivergent boys and a big fan of restorative yoga, high quality tea and messy (aka loved in) houses.LINKSparrishwilson.comInstagram: @parrishwilsonFacebook: Parrish Wilson CreativeFacebook group: Writing VibesLinkedIn: Parrish WilsonDOABLE CHANGESAt the end of every episode, we share three doable changes, so you can take what you've heard and put it into action. Change comes from action. Sometimes action gets a bad rap. You can be kind to yourself. You can practice being AND doing, but for change to happen you have to take steps. The way we take care of ourselves is making the steps doable and focusing on one thing at a time. We take time to integrate the change and then move on to the next one. Pick a Doable Change that resonates with you the most to start from. Here are three Doable changes that we chose from this conversation. FIND YOUR WRITING FLOW. Writing first thing in the morning or writing every day might not be your thing. Experiment with when you feel in flow writing. Try creating a writing block of time each day, but realizing it might look different. Some days might be words on the page, others might be research or brainstorming or reading.WRITE WITHOUT LOOKING. You’ve probably heard about writing as if no one would read it. Parrish suggests looking away from your screen so that you don’t get caught up in errors or beautiful phrases. Try writing without reading as you go along or looking back at your writing.GET EXPRESSIVE. Write about what happened and how you felt about it. Remember that it’s normal to feel worse after writing something hard. Notice, though if you continue to spiral around it. Consider working with someone who can help you with therapeutic writing.

Create Your Daily Spiritual Practice with Karen Kenney

“The assignment is alignment. How do you come into that place of alignment for what's true for you?” –Karen KenneyCuriosity over check marks — spiritual mentor Karen Kenney talks about how rote activities and putting spirituality on our to do lists doesn’t work.There’s a difference between a habit and a ritual. Karen talks about the 5 Ds of a daily spiritual practice (DSP): daily, dedication, determination, discipline, and devotion. If you’ve ever had your meditation practice turn into another to do, it’s the devotion piece you want to look at — whatever the actual practice.There’s no one size fits all when it comes to a spiritual practice. You need to get curious about your purpose and the what and when and how that will work for you — and why.We talk about: Creating your DSP and getting curious about what works for you Bookending your day with love They why behind spiritual practices first thing in the morning and right before bedNot using spiritual practices to beat yourself upGrowing into a practice and getting over resistanceThe effect on your nervous systemABOUT KARENKaren Kenney is a certified Spiritual Mentor, Writer, Hypnotist, Integrative Change Worker and Coach. She’s known for her dynamic storytelling, her sense of humor, her Boston accent and her no-bullshit approach to Spirituality and transformational work.She’s been a yoga teacher for 25 years, is a Certified Gateless Writing Instructor, and is also an author, speaker, retreat leader and the host of The Karen Kenney Show podcast.A curious human being, life-long learner and an entrepreneur for 20+ years, KK brings a down-to-earth perspective to the spiritual principles and practical tools that create powerful shifts in people’s lives, relationships and businesses.She works with people individually in her 1:1 program THE QUEST - and in her group program THE NEST.Her approach brings together tools that coach both the conscious and unconscious mind. She combines Brain Science, Subconscious Reprogramming, Integrative Hypnosis, and Spiritual Mentorship to help clients regulate their nervous systems, remove blocks, rewrite stories, rewire beliefs, and reimagine what’s possible!Karen wants her clients to have their own lived experience with spirituality and to not just “take her word for it”. She encourages them to discover and deepen their own personal connection to Self, Source and Spirit in tangible and actionable ways.Her “Your Story To Your Glory” process helps people to shift their minds from an old thought system of fear to one of Love - using compassion, empirical evidence and humor, her work is effective, efficient, and wicked fun!KK’s been a student of A Course in Miracles for 30 years, has been vegan for 20+ years, and believes that a little kindness can make a big difference.LINKShttps://www.karenkenney.com/Build Your Spiritual Team freebie: https://www.karenkenney.com/freebieThe Karen Kenney Show Podcast: https://www.karenkenney.com/podcastFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/karenkenneylive/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/karenkenneylive/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@KarenKenneyDOABLE CHANGESAt the end of every episode, we share three doable changes, so you can take what you've heard and put it into action. Action is where change happens. But here's the thing: when we have a goal, a wish, a desire bubbling up in us, it can feel really huge. Sometimes we stop ourselves in our tracks based on how huge our desire feels. Change needs action, but it doesn't need huge action. When we focus on the next step, the next Doable Change that we can integrate into our lives, we don’t get stuck and we create momentum. Choose one Doable Change that resonates with you today and really play with it. Fit it into your life, your days, make it work for you — then move on to your next Doable Change. Here are Three Doable Changes from this conversation: START AND END YOUR DAY WITH LOVE. Start your day with five minutes of your spiritual practice. Try this as you wake up because of the opening that phase of wake/sleep has for us. Take five compassionate minutes to look back on your day before bed.GET CURIOUS. Instead of putting meditation (or whatever practice) on your to do list day after day, ask yourself what this practice means or does for you. Do you like the effect it has on you? Are you doing it because somebody else told you to? Is there a different practice that would serve you better? For example, if you have trouble sitting still for meditation, would walking mediation serve you? (Note, it doesn’t have to be meditation!)REMIND YOURSELF THAT YOU ARE LOVE. What happens if you remind yourself that you are love every day? What if you go about removing barriers to that or to believing that?

Moon Deep Dive with Keri-Anne Livingstone

“The more I got into it, the more I saw how the cycles of the moon are this beautiful, loving, unconditional container for us to be human.” –Keri-Anne LivingstoneLet’s do a moon deep dive, because getting into more natural rhythms is so freeing and fascinating. I’m really excited to talk with Keri-Anne Livingstone, a clarity coach who taps into the cycles of the moon.We focus on four cycles of the moon: the new, the waxing, the full and the waning. Keri-Anne explains the significance of each and how to make the best use of each phase. We can use each phase something different: anchoring, action, full expression, and assessing and learning.The moon has you even if your body doesn’t cycle. So you can map your energy to the moon as a guide. And no matter where you are, you belong in whatever phase you’re in within the moon’s beautiful, cyclical, supportive container.We talk about: Slowing down and intention setting with the new moon Feminine stages: maiden, mother, crone, and the often overlooked hagFinding full expression and connecting during the full moonUsing the elements of earth, air, fire, and water to your benefit during different parts of the cycleThe difference between new moon and dark moon and how to approach eachWhen you are off cycle with the moonABOUT KERI-ANNEKeri-Anne Livingstone is a certified Clarity Coach and emotional regulation specialist, guiding women through life's biggest challenges to have more peace, power, and presence through private coaching sessions, her online programs and Radical Acceptance Retreats held around the world. With over a decade of experience and a lifetime of learning, Keri-Anne is known for delivering potent insights and perspective, drawing from her deep understanding of the human experience to help clients connect to their truest selves with clarity and confidence.Her unique and intuitive approach transcends surface-level solutions, diving deep into root causes to create lasting change.

Choose one that really piques your interest and roll with it. Here are three Doable Changes from this conversation:ANCHOR DURING THE NEW MOON. Identify when the next new moon is. Remember this is a time to rest and go inward. What can you cancel or shift to give yourself more rest? Can you get quiet and hear your intuition? If building in more rest for the next new moon feels stressful, try shifting your schedule now for the new moon after that.PLAN A MONTH AROUND THE MOON CYCLES. Remember that the four moon phases follow these purposes: anchoring, action, full expression, and assessing and learning. Take a look at your plan for the month. What can you shift fo fit that schedule better? For example if your busiest week is the new moon, can you move some things? Can you take more action during the waxing stage? Can you launch or go live during the full moon?REFLECT AND LEARN. Just as we need rest periods, we need time to notice, reflect on, and examine what we did and learned During the first three weeks of the cycle. During the waning moon, take some time to journal. Ask yourself: What’s changed? How am I different?

Get to Know the Moon with Dr. Aumatma

“If we take away the idea of 24 hours, and instead put in the idea of a 28-day cycle, which is our feminine cycle, time expands.” –Dr. AumatmaStop trying to get it all done in a day! Women are meant to work on a 28-day cycle, not a 24-hour, testosterone cycle. I’m really excited to talk with Dr. Aumatma Simmons about getting to know the moon, our cycles, and how thinking about time from a feminine perspective can change everything.Dr. Aumatma is a naturopathic endocrinologist focused on fertility. She’s found fertility issues stemming from an imbalance in masculine and feminine energy. Things shift in all areas when women step into their feminine power.To do that, we shift to a 28-day cycle. If you are menstruating, it’s your feminine cycle. If you aren’t (or if you are in the place where things are unpredictable, like me), you sync to the moon.We talk about: Why you may struggle with doing things you want in your life the same way every dayHow to use your cycle to get more doneWhen to focus inwardWanting to stay on the high energy, but needing the period of rejuvenation in our cycle, and the effects of not filling our cup during our menstrual cycleWhat to do if you cycle is determined by medication or is in flux and how to sync to the moonWomen receiving more than givingABOUT DR. AUMATMADr. Aumatma is a double board-certified Naturopathic Endocrinologist, in practice for close to 20 years. Dr. Aumatma founded the Holistic Fertility Institute to support badass power couples to create the family of their dreams and to train doctors who want to specialize in fertility. She is the best-selling author of "Fertility Secrets: What Your Doctor Didn't Tell You About Baby-Making.” She is on a mission to help bring healthier babies into the world by creating healthier parents and a healthier planet. To expand that mission, Dr. Aumatma co-founded Madre Fertility, a smart fertility analysis that individualizes people's fertility journey through diet, lifestyle, and supplements, based on key data. Dr. Aumatma has been featured on ABC, FOX, CBS, KTLA, MindBodyGreen, and The Bump as the Holistic Fertility Expert.

Change comes from action. Doable changes are things that you can add into your life, one at a time to make micro shifts and really create a ripple effect that will create a big change over time. Choose one that really piques your interest and roll with it — and remember it might not look the same day to day through your cycle. Here are three Doable Changes from this conversation:TRACK YOUR CYCLE OR THE MOON. Start tracking your cycle. If you don’t have a menstrual cycle or it is not predictable, start tracking the moon. Track your energy with your menstrual or moon cycle. (You can find a tracker with ideas for playing detective in the Soulful Summer Activity book linked above.) If you already track, start shifting things to better use your energy.PRACTICE RECEIVING. Women often give, give, give to the point of burnout, but we need to receive. Practice saying yes when somebody offers to help you or do something for you. Practice asking people to do things for you.REST AND RECHARGE. Try easing back during menstruation or the new moon. Reschedule things. Skip a workout if you aren’t feeling it or do something lighter. Give in to more rest. See what happens when you rest and restore during this time instead of pushing through.
