Ann Cantelow-Miller is a woman who is extraordinary, quietly so. A multi-talented individual whose life is a masterclass in curiosity, and yet she's remarkably unassuming to the point that you might never guess the depth of her talents and passions. In this episode, we explore her fascinating world, from playing a very unusual instrument in a giant water tank to cultivating an edible weed garden, and discover the valuable lessons she's learned along the way. Ann’s journey is a powerful testament to the magic of embracing curiosity, pursuing passions, and finding joy in the process of exploration. Ann is someone whose life and perspective are truly worth listening to. I so admire how she lives, and I'm so grateful she shared a bit of that with us.

Key Takeaways:

• Embrace the Curious Spirit: Ann shows us the beauty of always being a student, exploring the world with open eyes and a willingness to learn.
• Find Joy in the Making: Ann reminds us that the real magic happens in the process of exploring, experimenting, and playing. It's a beautiful reminder to let go of expectations and embrace the journey.
• Connect with the Earth: Ann's deep connection to nature inspires us to listen to the earth's whispers and find wisdom and peace in the beauty that surrounds us.
• The Power of Human Connection: Ann understands the profound importance of human connection, reminding us to cherish the people in our lives and build meaningful relationships.
• Say "Yes" to Life's Adventures: Ann encourages us to step outside our comfort zones, embrace new challenges, and discover the hidden talents and passions within us. It's a call to action to live life to the fullest.

In this episode I'm so excited to welcome back the delightful Mina Grace Ward, who appeared on the show earlier in the year. We reflect on the lessons, growth, and truly transformative moments of this year. Mina candidly reminds us of the power of intuition, the importance of trust, and the beauty of creating space for ourselves amidst life’s demands. We explore the art of listening—whether it’s to your body, your heart, or that inner voice guiding you toward what feels right. I hope you join us in celebrating growth & finding inspiration in the extraordinary moments of everyday life, even before this year is over.

Key Takeaways:

1. Trusting Your Gut: Whether it’s in relationships or career decisions, learning to listen to what your body and heart are telling you can lead to profound clarity.
2. The Power of Reflection: Taking time to look back at the year—both the highs and the challenges—helps us honor our growth and embrace the lessons.
3. Setting Boundaries with Love: Boundaries aren’t barriers—they’re acts of self-care. Saying “no” to what drains you is saying “yes” to what truly nourishes you.
4. Celebrating Your Journey: No matter where you are or how messy life may feel, you are exactly where you need to be. Trust the process.

Get ready to be swept away by a conversation that's as inspiring as it is real. I've known the incredible Sandra Burch for over 20 years, and let me tell you, she's a force of nature disguised as a gentle soul. Sandra is a renowned graphic designer, a creative visionary, and a master of navigating life's unpredictable currents with grace, resilience, and a healthy dose of laughter.

In this episode, we're diving deep into Sandra's world, exploring everything from her childhood adventures in Belgium (yes, there's a bicycle involved!) to the challenges of building a thriving business while juggling motherhood and those "oh-so-joyful" client requests (like designing a 200-page book in under a month!).

But this isn't just a casual chat. Sandra shares invaluable wisdom about:

• The power of "going with the flow": Adapting to life's twists and turns with grace and resilience.
• Finding your "word": Uncovering your North Star and aligning your actions with your core values.
• The art of balancing priorities: Juggling work, family, and personal well-being without losing your mind.
• Embracing change like a pro: Navigating life's transitions with courage and optimism.
• And most importantly, finding joy in the everyday: Because life's too short to wait for "someday."

Sandra's words to live by:

• "The universe takes care of me." (A mantra for the ages!)
• "I kind of just equate it to being like water..." (Flowing around obstacles with strength and grace.)
• "I just keep trying... I just do what I can do." (Sometimes, that's all it takes.)
• "I better enjoy today because tomorrow I'm going to be another day older." (Carpe diem!)
• "You don't get upset when it doesn't happen." (Flexibility is key, my friends.)
