This week I chatted with Sean Sublette who is a meteorologist and I loved his simple advice on how we can all make a big impact on our environment by making small changes in our daily lives. When it comes to making a difference with the effects on our environment, it can seem like a huge daunting task and that there's no way minor changes can't help but that's so not the case! Every little bit adds up and it can add up to massive change. While I do feel like I'm already doing a lot to help conserve energy (we have a smart thermostat, energy efficient appliances, use LED lights) there's always more I can do so I want this week's challenge to be all about conserving more energy and reducing my consumption!

This week I chatted with Emily Mills who is obviously a creative and artistic genius. I made it clear how much I lack the skills to draw or be artistic in any sort of way, but after last week's minisode about stopping myself from saying that I "can't" do something, I'm trying to change my language and how I speak about my drawing skills. I then started looking into how drawing can positively impact your days -- and boy, I found a lot of research on this! Tune in to find out how drawing can boost your mood and positively impact your day to day life!

This week I chatted with Sandy and Jeni from Namastream and our conversation got me thinking about how people approach things they feel like they "can't" do. It was eye-opening to me that neither Sandy nor Jeni had a software engineering background, yet here they are, creating an incredible software company. Like, have you told yourself your entire life that you "can't" do something for one reason or another? I know I have. I've told myself "I'm not athletic" "I can't draw" "I'm not smart enough/experienced enough to do XYZ" While I'm certainly not going to be the next Michael Jordan or Picasso, I can, in fact do some of these things, I just don't try because I won't be the best or the expert at it. Of course, this is perfectionism peeping it's ugly head into my subconscious again and I'm sure many of you may feel the same. It's uncomfortable to do new things but to quote marketing expert Seth Godin, "fear is a compass, not a barrier. It becomes a way to know what to do next, not an evil demon to be extinguished."Tune into this episode to find what you can do to start doing that one thing you feel like you "can't" do, but have always wanted to.

Today's interview is special because it's another double interview! We haven't had one of those since interviewing World Travelers Lisa & Peter Hoppe. Anyways, I'm interviewing Sandy Connery & Jeni Barcelos who are the founders of a software company called Namastream. Sandy & Jeni did NOT have software engineering backgrounds at all when they started Namastream and as two female founders of a tech company, I thought it'd be great to get their insight on their struggles, successes and a peek inside what it's really like to run a software company. We chat about the major challenges bootstrapping a tech company (they did not get venture capital funding), the specific challenges facing female entrepreneurs in tech, the biggest barriers they've had to overcome, misconceptions people have about working in the tech industry, advice to young women who want to work in tech and so much more. As always, you can join in the conversation with other Day in the Life listeners in the Day in the Life Facebook group!

This week I chatted with Professional Organizer Megan Mangione and it really got me thinking about stuff and why we hold on to it. I researched a bit further into why we hold on to stuff, even when we feel cluttered, overwhelmed and disorganized. I'm definitely guilty of this and what I found through researching is exactly the reasons why I hold on to things.During this episode, I'm sharing what I found after diving into some research onto why we hold on to too much stuff and how I'm clearing out the physical and mental clutter in my life.

Today's interview was inspired after Marie Kondo's organizing special came out on Netflix! With the organizing and purging crazy happening since the beginning of 2019, I thought it'd be a great opportunity to invite a professional organizer on the podcast!Today's guest is Meggie Mangione who runs Organized Life Design out of Houston, Texas. Meggie shares common mistakes people make when it comes to organizing their home, where to start when you're completely overwhelmed with the disorganization of your home, how to organize when you're living in small spaces, how to keep things organized when you have small children, is having a junk drawer healthy or no, and what the heck to do with all of those holiday cards you get but don't know what to do with come January 1st.

Today's minisode we're talking about other people's perceptions and if you care too much. This week's interview with exotic dancer Demiana may have been a polarizing one for you guys, but I wanted to continue the conversation by talking about other people's perceptions of you and if you care too much. Here's the thing: we all to some degree, for the most part, compare ourselves to other people. It's a natural, human thing to do. It's also natural to care about what other people think about you. It's not necessarily a bad thing, to some degree it helps you be self-aware which I think is an important quality in people. But for a lot of us, we can care way too much about what other people think about us. And during my interview with Demiana and her sharing about what her friends and family thought about her career it got me thinking more on this topic. I for one am guilty of caring way too much what other's think about me. I'm a people pleaser through and through and have struggled with this my entire life. Tune in to learn how to know if other people's perceptions are affecting your life too much and what to do about it.

Today's interview is perhaps a polarizing one...but honestly I learned SO much from this interview so I hope you'll listen before making any judgments.This week's interview is with Demiana Dacosta who is an exotic dancer. Demiana actually pitched me the idea and if you've been a longtime listener you clearly know that I have not had on anyone anywhere near this background so I thought it was a great opportunity to broaden not only my understandings of this career, but yours too. Demiana and I talk about how she got started in her career as an exotic dancer, what her family/friends/and boyfriend think of her in this career, the many misconceptions and stereotypes about the industry, what a typical shift looks like, what the pay structure is for dancers, and a lot more. I really enjoyed my conversation with Demiana and I'm excited for you guys to tune in and learn too. As always, I'd love to invite you to join the day in the life podcast Facebook group so connect with other listeners and we can talk about this interview...I'm sure there will be opinions and I welcome them! Excited for you to tune in and hope you enjoy!
