  • Oren Jay Sofer @orenjaysofer is a communication expert and mindfulness teacher at Spirit Rock in Woodacre, California. He recently wrote the book “Say What You Mean: A Nonviolent Approach to Communication,” and I’m delighted to have him as a guest on the podcast.⠀ ⠀ This is definitely one of those deep conversations that I found engaging on many levels. From a coaching and academic perspective, I thoroughly enjoyed learning more about how to look at and use mindfulness. From a personal perspective, I found this conversation to be so insightful into how humans communicate and default into what is a habitual pattern (as opposed to a natural pattern), that my husband and I have started reading Oren’s book outloud to each other - AND! It’s been a game changer for both of us. ⠀ ⠀ To tune in to the episode, and learn a bit more about mindful non violent communication, check out the link in my profile.⠀ ⠀ #nonviolentcommunication #mindfulness #mindfullistening #compassion #lovingspeech #extrememinimalism #minimalist #simpleliving #spiritrock #joy #choosejoy #jumpstartyourjoy @spirit_rock
  • This is me. 💖 I took this selfie on Saturday night during the @shepodcasts introvert/extrovert party. I felt so very alive and energized by the whole experience that I wanted to capture the moment - because this is joy. It’s about connection, love, shared ideas and altruism. It’s about friendship and being seen. It’s about sharing your voice and your passion and finding others who get you. This is that face. Joy. The thing is - 5 years ago when I started podcasting I didn’t know where it would go. I had the creative nudge and then I ran with it. I kept going when it got hard or when I had no episode ready for the next day and I made shit happen. I kept pitching people I was interested in talking to, knowing they might say no or not say anything at all. But I kept doing the thing because I had to. I just had to. So wherever you are on your journey... whatever is holding you back or freaking you out - just know the world needs your voice and your story. You are here for a reason. Tap into your heart and ask what that purpose is. And then, I want you to be doggedly fierce in going after it. You can do this. You’ve got this. I ❤️ you. #shepodcasts #shepodcastslive #spl19 #entrepeneurlife #lifecoachlife #dothething #joy #sparkjoy #jumpstartyourjoy #jumpstartyourcreativity
  • First rule of podcasting: It’s your own damn show and you can do whatever the hell you want with it. Let it sink in. Podcasting is a creative endeavor. You are making things that have never existed before - and in new ways. It’s vulnerable, it’s hard work, and you are amazing. You can also let go of any “shoulds” you have around what your show looks like. The content, the title, the length of your seasons, the frequency. You get to choose. That’s the heart of my my message from my presentation at @shepodcasts today. Thank you @jesskupferman and @theelsieescobar for having me. It has been a dream come true to be here. 💖 #podcast #podcasting #shepodcasts #shepodcastslive #shepodcastslive2019 #teamclcc #podcastersofinstagram #jumpstartyourjoy #choosejoy
  • All I want to do is go back .... and I can’t wait for April! Just a little look back at Super Hero Night on #nkotbcruise2017 when I dressed as “Super Solo Wood” and got to dance with @dannywoodofficial dressed as Wolverine. Despacito will never be the same 😂 Sending up good vibes to all who are trying to #getontheboat 🎉 #nkotbcruise2020 #solowood #nkotb #wolverine #jumpstartyourjoy #dannywood #nkotbcruise #choosejoy #80sbaby
  • It’s the introvert / extrovert party @shepodcasts 💜 I didn’t know sequin green Bomber jackets were a podcasting “thing.” Imagine my surprise when I had like 5 people run up to me asking if I knew Tom Kelly... and no! But he sounds super awesome. @cleancutaudio_podcasting thanks for the par-tay @libsyn #spl19 #shepodcasts #shepodcastslive #mermaid #sequinbomberjacket #podcaster #podcastfashion #fakefashionblogger #emokid
  • I love the extra buttons that the @shepodcasts ladies made for this conference. Snarky! Yes. Extrovert? Most of the time. They had introvert pins but they went first, because about 80% of women podcasters are introverts. (And, believe it or not I’m an I/ENFJ (sometimes called an outgoing introvert). Plus I brought my own logo buttons, designed by the amazing @mandyfordart 💖 that I’m handing out. It makes me crazy happy to see them. It’s the first swag I’ve ever had made. #jumpstartyourjoy #spl19 #shepodcasts #shepodcastslive #podcastbranding #joy #choosejoy #extrovert #snarky #buttons #delighted
