Rupture and repair w/ Tiffany York

Monday Dec 13, 2021

Long standing friendships are treasures and often have many layers. My friendship with Tiffany has ebbed and flowed over the years giving us what we needed to land us in the here and now. She and I speak about rupture and repair in our relationship and how the very actions that have allowed our relationship to survive can be extended to the social justice work and the self work that we do.

Money as a lens w/ Regina Martinelli

Monday Dec 06, 2021

Money is a hot and oftentimes triggering topic. There are so many experts out there who teach about money. From the start, I have appreciated Regina's approach where money is really a lens to understanding the limiting beliefs, fears and doubts that hold us back. The little, basic, primitive part of our brain, which Regina calls the critter brain, wants us to survive. And it keeps us safe by continuously looping those fears, beliefs and doubts. Regina's transformational work focuses on rewiring those patterns in our brains so that we can move past survival mode to thrive. Tune into the conversation to learn about how she does it.      About the guest Regina Martinelli is a certified Master NLP transformational coach, with a Master’s degree in Change Management/Organizational Development. Her model of coaching is rooted in transformative learning, neuroscience and quantum physics, allowing access to the subconscious patterns that keep us stuck, especially around money. Regina has been able to design and lead conscious change-work seminars for impactful and lasting breakthroughs for her clients in their businesses, personal relationships and communities. She is astute at helping her clients uncover their unconscious blocks that prevent them from having the experience of money (and life) they desire. Her sense of humor, compassion and commitment make her courses fun, impactful and transformative on multiple levels.  You can sign up for Regina's course at www.lisaforreal.com/regina.   About the host Lisa Chin (she/her/hers) believes that knowing ourselves is central to being happy and fulfilled. This podcast is about the observation and examination of self - exploring all the things that make us who we are. Why?

Writer with a Capital ”W” w/ Jeanette LeBlanc

Monday Nov 22, 2021

The writing course I took over five years ago with Jeanette LeBlanc was a major catalyst in my evolution. There is truly a version of me before and after meeting Jeanette. The permission she gave me to write however I want sticks with me to this day and has allowed me to show up authentically in every arena of my life.  In this episode, we talk about the artist life and the pressure to commodify our passions, writing and how her writing shifted from stories about her kids to her, who we are and the strength in returning vs wandering, and giving ourselves grace and the consequence of being human.   Mentions: Coming out of the closet (TEDTALK by Ash Beckham) Half a Life: A Memoir by Darin Strauss About the guest Jeanette LeBlanc spent most of her life working very hard to be a good girl. One day she woke up and decided to write her way out of her own life - things haven’t been the same since. Single mama to two ridiculously unruly daughters, Jeanette believes in the smooth honey burn of whiskey, the crashing of mama ocean, pencil skirts, vintage band tees and fringed boots, the kinship of the wild wolf, walking for miles in unfamiliar cities, that the burn down always precedes the rise, the singular power of dark red lipstick and the necessity of putting out for the muse on the regular. Oh yea - and that sometimes our stories are the only things that can save us. Jeanette is the author of You Are Not Too Much | Love Notes On Heartache, Redemption and Reclamation - available at all major online retailers. You can learn more about Jeanette at www.jeanetteleblanc.com and follow her on Instagram @jeanetteleblanc for more of her words.   About the host Lisa Chin (she/her/hers) believes that knowing ourselves is central to being happy and fulfilled.

My selfie evolution

Thursday Nov 18, 2021

Inspired by my conversation with my friend and Instagram influencer, Taima (see previous episode), I share how my thoughts on selfies have changed over the last five years. This examination includes two pieces of writing about how I feel about selfies - one from way back in 2016 and one I wrote about them last month.  The most important question in this transformation was asking myself, "Why am I triggered, and what does that say about me?"    About the host Lisa Chin (she/her/hers) believes that knowing ourselves is central to being happy and fulfilled.

Major money mindset w/ Taima Ramsey

Monday Nov 15, 2021

In this episode, I got to talk to my accountability partner and friend, Taima, about so many things I wish we had time to chat about during our weekly meetings. The overall theme was consuming - consuming social media content and consuming the big "M" - Money. She's a social media personality (aka influencer), so naturally, I pick her brain on how to manage social media as a consumer and if we can actually create real relationships online. We talk influence, curation and transparency. Then, with her years as a blogger about money, Taima shares some major money mindset tips around how to create boundaries that work for us and how to reframe money as a tool, not something we fight against. Consumption is a behavior we are trained to perform in our capitalistic system. Being mindful of our consumption in all the ways, helps us stay on path and stay inspired.   About the guest Taima Ramsey (she/her) is an attorney by day and travel enthusiast on evenings and weekends. She is a native New Yorker, born and raised in Brooklyn and now calls Manhattan home. She started Poor In A Private Plane as a way to empower women to live their best life on any budget. There are never enough hours in the day or  enough money in our bank accounts. But that doesn't stop us from living our best life.

How to create your inspired life in 3 steps

Thursday Nov 11, 2021

For a long time, I was living an INSPIRING life where I sought external approval and accolades because I was trying to inspire others. But I realized that what I want to seek is an INSPIRED life, one where I am lit up and doing things that excite me. And what I've found is that in turn, others have found it inspiring. Living an inspired life may sound intimidating or unattainable but it is actually quite simple (with some conscious effort). In this episode, I share the three things we need to do to live an inspired life and the beauty of following the breadcrumbs to inspiration.   About the host Lisa Chin (she/her/hers) believes that knowing ourselves is central to being happy and fulfilled.

Blog Blob - Not either/or, it‘s both/and

Thursday Nov 04, 2021

In this first Blog Blob, I share and riff off a blog post titled "Not either/or, it's both/and." Having a binary outlook way limits our ability to see nuance and really live life. While seeing things in black and white may be easier, the human experience is very much in the gray where contrasting truths can and do co-exist.  This Blog Blob is an extension of my conversation with Amelia Sherry in Episode 3 which was very much about this push and pull. She shares her feelings on the word mother and how she does not like identifying as a mother while still believing it to be one of the most important aspects of her life.  **My apologies for the audio quality in this episode. I forgot to plug in my microphone and was using my computer. Alas, creation is imperfect, and when the muse calls, you listen.   About the host Lisa Chin (she/her/hers) believes that knowing ourselves is central to being happy and fulfilled.
