Episode 20: Life’s more than checking the boxes with Kate Smith

Kate is a serious badass and I know you’ll love her story. After years of doing what she and her husband thought they were supposed to do, checking all the boxes, until one day they realized they wanted more. It took her and her husband time to build the life they wanted, but three years later they’re still cruising the country in an Airstream and running an amazing greeting card company!
We chat about:
- How there’s always a downside to even amazing opportunities and trade offs (what Kate calls “the s#!t sandwich”) and how you just gotta find the one that works for you.
- How to release judgement from others and pursue what you love
- Things she's working on including fear of failure

You can find Kate and her smile-causing greeting cards at katesmithcompany.com and at @katesmithcompany

Kate Smith Company is here to help you make humans smile. Every joke, piece of art and product we create is meant to be shared—meant to give you a small, simple and fun way to put joy into the life of another. We want to remind you how good it feels to make another human happy. We want to show you it doesn’t take much. And we want to encourage you to do it every day.

Episode 19: Make more memories with this one shift (Solo Episode)

Think back to your favorite memories and moments that are so meaningful to you. They happen when you’re not planning on it.
My need to “stick to the plan” used to dominate everyday… but I truly believe I missed out on so many beautiful, spontaneous moments because I was so structured and rigid. I missed the possibility of what would have happened if I was open to the unfolding opportunity of possibility.

This week, I challenge you to think about one area you’re trying to push and control. When you go one level deeper to the fear causing your control, what are you truly afraid of?

Episode 17: Let’s Talk about People Pleasing (Solo Episode)

Episode 17: Let’s Talk about People Pleasing (Solo Episode)

So many people fall in to the habit of people pleasing. In this episode, I talk about how people pleasing is connected to our second chakra and your self-worth. The problem is that many people often seek external validation instead of looking inside of themselves for affirmation.

This week, I challenge you to take a critical look at your own habits around people pleasing:
How often are you thinking “I should” or “I’m supposed to” or you feel pressure to do something, think … according to whom?

Episode 16: Learning to trust yourself with Bridgette Boucha

I loved chatting with my dear friend, Bridgette Boucha this week and know you’ll love to listen in. After years of doing all the things she felt she needed to do to advance her corporate career (moving around for opportunities and landing a CFO job by 30), Bridgette felt disconnected from herself. We talked about how her inner voice and signs got louder and harder to ignore and the moment she learned how to trust herself to find her true purpose in entrepreneurship.

Join us as we talk about:
- Ways our personal goals evolve
- Internal vs external validation
- How energy and taking care of yourself is the #1 factor in the success of your business
- Ways to incorporate play and fun in your life!
- How failure isn’t a bad thing (and a funny T-Shirt we want to make!)

Bridgette is a CFO for scaling business owners. She believes you deserve to run a profitable business while living a fuller life. Numbers may be her jam, but people are her gold. Her perfect day includes nature and belly laughs!
In this episode, we talked a lot about how programs like our weekly coffee chat and ELBA (Evolve Beyond Limits Academy) made a huge impact on us. If you're interested in learning more about EBLA or joining an upcoming round, visit stacygissal.com

Episode 14: How to get the clarity you’re seeking with Kyle Depiesse

Kyle’s story is so relatable. He climbed the corporate ladder, only to find it’s not what he wanted. It affected his healths, relationships, and more.
Kyle is the Creator and Founder of the Reaching Beyond Experience rooted in assisting others in achieving their highest level of fulfillment in how they connect with others, connect with themselves and build their careers. After 15 years in corporate America, hitting rock bottom and completely burned out, Kyle left everything to start designing a life around fulfillment. Since 2015 he has spent a season as a stay-at-home dad, finished an Ironman, started his own business, started a podcast, and along with his wife, paid off almost $400k to become completely debt-free!
Now he leverages his story to design destination experiences and coaching offerings to help his clients get the clarity they need to build their definition of a fulfilling life.

Join us as we talk about:
- How to set a vision for your life & how to get really clear on it
- How this vision allows you to make short-term sacrifices that will pay off for you long term.
- How staying home with his kid gave him the most clarity yet
- Why you should ignore other peoples’ opinions of what you should have for your life
- How to find your rhythm and what lights you up
- The ways goal setting and goal getting are different

So many people can relate to feeling stuck in a career or choice because of their lifestyle. Kyle flipped all this on its head in his own life and now is helping others do so too!

Episode 13: Don't give up your life to build your business (Solo Episode)

In this week’s solo episode, I talk about how building a business should be fun, but so often we turn it into misery because of our past conditioning and limiting beliefs. But I’m here to tell you there’s a better way: you can build a life you love, and a business that helps you achieve that.

Life doesn’t happen to us. Its an active process that unfolds when you’re open to change in your mind, body, and spirt. When this happens, life and business becomes so much more fun! Most people don’t live a life that sets their soul on fire, because they’re chasing someone else’s definition of success. Guess what… Usually the things we want out of life, we can have right now.

In this episode, I’ll break down:
- How our environment shapes our definitions of success
- Why we seek external things to fill our inner emptiness
- Why you need to first define what success means to you
- Know what is going to get in your way
- How to work with and understand our energy

Life your life first, build your business around that. You’ll be amazed at what happens!

Episode 11: What Causes Disease? (Solo Episode)

Evolve Beyond Limits: Episode 11 What Causes Disease

What do you think about when you hear the word disease? At its very core, it means things in your body are out of sync. If you do not proactively address how you are feeling on an energetic level, it will come out in physical symptoms or disease.

Balancing your health and well-being is not just nutrition and exercise, if you’re ignoring the deeper issue that’s contributing to nutritional changes or moving your body, you’re also ignoring the root causes that are contributing to those external habits.

There are three major components of disease. In this episode, I’ll break them down for you, and present things you should consider in your own life this week, including:

What are some areas of your life in which you’re going in direct opposition to what you know you need? What areas do you feel held back or feeling stuck?

Text me and share how you’re doing with this! The number is in the podcast.
