  • Go from the airy world of ideas to the concrete world of getting it done⠀ One of my favorite parts of this week’s roundtable with Emilie Wapnick, Melissa Dinwiddie, and Jamie Ridler is when we talk about how we each capture the myriad of ideas we have in our heads, and then, how we approach bringing these creative ideas to life.⠀ ⠀ For multipassionates, it can be a challenge to go from all those swirly ideas to action and then, a finished product. ⠀ ⠀ If you struggle with taking all those ideas, sorting through which ones you want to do, and creating structure that works for you to bring those ideas to life? … well, this episode is for you.⠀ ⠀ Join us on the podcast - the link is in my profile, or you can find the show on iTunes at http://buff.ly/2ucPNbU⠀ ⠀ Thank you for joining me, @emiliewapnick, @a_creative_life, and @starshyne⠀ ⠀ #planningday #multipotentialite ##personaldevelopment #growthmindset #alwayslearning #howtobeeverything #mpmh #mpmh2018 #becomingmybestself #careergoals #creativity #multipassionate #multitalented #findyourself #findyourpassion #jumpstartyourjoy #emiliewapnick #melissadinwiddie #jamieridler ⠀ #creativegoals #productivity #getshitdone #creativepreneur #creativeprofessional
  • Everything about you is especially fine⠀ This week’s episode features a roundtable with Emilie Wapnick, Melissa Dinwiddie, and Jamie Ridler. Part of the fun in this is the little connections we all have, and discovered in the midst of the discussion. This week, near the end of the show, the book / song “Snuggle Puppy” by Sandra Boynton came up. ⠀ ⠀ And, what’s true about a sweet puppy is also true about each and everyone of you multipassionate people. You’re just fine. You’re great the way you are.⠀ ⠀ You might feel like it’s “weird” to have so many interests, or that you’re the only one out there who has so many ideas floating around in your head that you’re wishing you could bring to life. ⠀ ⠀ Here’s something I want you to know this week: You’re not alone. You’re especially fine. You do you.⠀ ⠀ Want to hear more about Snuggle Puppy and other fun multipassionate discussions?

  • Podcasting is something I love so much. A few days ago I snapped some selfies of me in the moment because other than the edited audio there’s not a lot to share or show behind the scenes. Here’s a bit of what it looks like to do my show. I record in my kitchen (that’s where the Jump Start HQ resides in this 1120 sq ft house) in Fremont, Ca. I use an apogee @apogeedigital Mic and I’m wearing my super comfy @sudio headphones. (This isn’t a sponsored post, just sharing the tools of the trade). I record next to a huge window so I can stare outside while I interview. I find that it helps me focus on what the guest is saying if I look outdoors. Also making an appearance here - my Boston Red Sox hat from that time I dressed as @dannywoodofficial on #nkotbcruise2017 😂 (💜 you Danny) and on my jacket - a @magnolia patch from spring break and another from @glaciernps Glacier National Park - all 3 from AMAZING trips that seriously jump started my own joy. So. What does your happy place look like? Let’s see it (and tag me if you post it). #thisismyhappyplace #jumpstartyourjoy #fremontcalifornia #apogeemic #sudiosweden #bostonredsox #supersolowood #solowood #magnoliamarket #glaciernationalpark #podcastinglife #followyourjoy #choosejoy
  • This week’s episode is preettttty much a dream come true for my project manager and multi-passionate heart. Four multipassionates gather together to chat about how we approach applying structure to how we approach pursuing our many passions. ⠀ How do we decide which ideas to bring to life?⠀ How do we create room in our day to follow our passions?⠀ How can we make structure and planning feel FUN and like play?⠀ What’s the #1 tip we have for YOU to start approaching your multipassionate career from a GSD (get sh*t done) mindset?⠀ ⠀ Well friend, if you’re wishing you had answers to these questions then you need to go listen to this episode. We’re dishing the dirt. We’re talking about how REAL people address these things. Not some lofty “just focus” BS. Nope. None of that here.⠀ ⠀ Join me, @emiliewapnick, @a_creative_life, and @starshyne as we have a fun, playful, and heartfelt discussion about all things multipassionate. ⠀ ⠀ You can find the link in my profile, or, at http://buff.ly/2ucPNbU ⠀ ⠀ #planningday #multipotentialite ##personaldevelopment #growthmindset #alwayslearning #howtobeeverything #mpmh #mpmh2018 #becomingmybestself #careergoals #creativity #multipassionate #multitalented #findyourself #findyourpassion #jumpstartyourjoy #emiliewapnick #melissadinwiddie #jamieridler ⠀ #creativegoals #productivity #getshitdone #creativepreneur #creativeprofessional
  • “It’s OK to stop when you’re done.” ⠀ Multi-passionates, we need to talk. There’s this myth going around out there that some of us feel like we’re being “flakes” when we try out something and then decide we don’t need to see it through to what society says is “completion.”⠀ ⠀ Here’s the dealio. Multi-passionates (those of us who have more than one interest and don’t want to focus on just one) are often what Barbara Sher calls “scanners.” We get drawn to a topic and dive in. We get what we need from it, and then, we’re done. And this week the Multipassionate round table of @emiliewapnick, @a_creative_life, and @starshyne and myself are blowing the doors off of that myth. It’s OK to stop when you’re done.⠀ ⠀ Join us for this and so many more multi-passionate insights on the show this week. ⠀ ⠀ Find the discussion at the link in my profile or at http://buff.ly/2ucPNbU.⠀ #planningday #multipotentialite ##personaldevelopment #growthmindset #alwayslearning #howtobeeverything #mpmh #mpmh2018 #becomingmybestself #careergoals #creativity #multipassionate #multitalented #findyourself #findyourpassion #jumpstartyourjoy #emiliewapnick #melissadinwiddie #jamieridler ⠀ #creativegoals #productivity #getshitdone #creativepreneur #creativeprofessional

  • We’ve been doing a bit of Saturday gardening. I love creating an outdoor space for the warmer months of the year. We live on the patio once it’s set up and it feels like an amazing extension of our home. Happy Saturday friends. #sweetness #pinkrose #outdoorliving #gardening #garden #patioweather #lovemyyard #saturdaymotivation
