  • Hello Seattle! So nice to see you again 😍 #familyvacation #seattle #pikeplacemarket #cloudporn #summer2019
  • Every day at noonish this sweet boy comes and finds me and asks to go outside. He then runs to one of the outdoor chairs and sits down, as of to say, “time for a lunch break, wanna come outside and eat with me?” Working for yourself or from home can feel all encompassing and/or isolating. It can feel like you gotta keep going, keep working, keep doing. And here’s one of God’s sweet creatures who knows better. He know that the fresh air feels good, the sun is warm, and listening to birds chirp is a sure way to reconnect. He knows he likes a taste of avocado and radicchio (I can’t make this up. He won’t touch the kale tho). He likes a pat and a cuddle and break to his day. Thanks for being a great teacher, little one. The Force is strong with you. #chewbacca #thatmakesmechewbaccamom #stopandsmelltheroses #selfcare #momentsofmine #delight #nourish #chihuahuasofinstagram #chihuahuamix #adopteddog #sweetestdog #chewiethechi #chewiewerehome #theforceisstrongwiththisone
  • Jenny Mahan is an amazing health and wellness coach, and one of the things she’s been passionate about since she was a little girl is making things that are useful and beautiful. She finds deep inspiration in nature, and the world around her - and living in the far north of Wisconsin on a farm alongside Pine Creek, nature is all around her. One of the things that Jenny started is a soap of the month club, where she soulfully and lovingly crafts soap to send to subscribers. It’s sustainable, useful, and extremely beautiful. I love that she approaches her business with the same kind of curiosity and wonder with which she approached the world as a child. ⠀ ⠀ Want to hear more about Jenny, her soap, and her health and wellness coaching? I’m excited that she’s joining me on the podcast this week, and you can hear the whole episode by clicking the link in my profile. Thank you for joining me, Jenny @pinecreekwellness.⠀ ⠀ ⠀ #dietculture #disruptdietculture#intuitiveeating #foodfreedom#balancednotclean #nourishnotpunish#nondiet #haes #healthateverysize#mindfuleating #savor#lifestylemedicine#effyourbeautystandards#dietsdontwork #nourish #joyoffood⠀ #healthyeating#learntolovegoodfood#wellnessthatworks #eatrealfood#plantbased #eatmoreplants #jumpstartyourjoy #podcastersofinstagram
  • It’s my total delight to have Jenny Mahan joining me this week on the podcast. Jenny is a multipassionate and I know you’ll love to get to know her - she is a registered nurse and certified health and wellness coach, owner of Pine Creek Wellness, and a soap maker. Jenny works with people to help them reclaim their health, encouraging them to start with what delights them. I love her very loving, thoughtful, sustainable and nourishing approach to her business and how she lives her life, and there are a bunch of great aha moments in this discussion for me. ⠀ ⠀ Want to hear more about Jenny @pinecreekwellness and how she approaches her business, her work with clients, and her life?

  • This week on the podcast, health and wellness coach Jenny Mahan joins me to talk about how she approaches building healthy habits. She says that people are not motivated by “fear, facts, or force,” and that to make a significant change in their habits she encourages them to “start with delight, and add in what nourishes” a person. ⠀ ⠀ I don’t know about you, but the simple suggestion of starting with food that delights me, or an exercise that delights me - it already makes me feel lighter and more inspired to experiment with a change that will support me. And then adding in what nourishes me? Of course I’ll try that move towards a healthier me!⠀ ⠀ If you want to hear more about how Jenny approaches wellness, and, how as a multipassionate person she embraces the many sides of herself and her interests, check out the link in my profile - or look for Jump Start Your Joy on iTunes or Google Podcasts.⠀ ⠀ Thank you so much for joining me on the show this week, Jenny! @pinecreekwellness⠀ ⠀ #dietculture #disruptdietculture#intuitiveeating #foodfreedom#balancednotclean #nourishnotpunish#nondiet #haes #healthateverysize#mindfuleating #savor#lifestylemedicine#effyourbeautystandards#dietsdontwork #nourish #joyoffood⠀ #healthyeating#learntolovegoodfood#wellnessthatworks #eatrealfood#plantbased #eatmoreplants #jumpstartyourjoy #podcastersofinstagram #tuesdaytransformation
  • That’s 300,000 miles. Cobie was the first car I bought with my own money and we’ve gone lots of interesting places. I’ve driven him across the country 3 times and he “attended” Yale with me. He drove our boy home from the hospital. Now he’s a hard working commuter car who’s hanging on and doing his job well. Thanks for the miles and the good times, friend. I didn’t know what our lives would hold for us when we met in 1995. It’s surreal to be looking back on the road we’ve taken and see how it all unfolded. #1995 #1995hondacivic #300000miles #runslikeachamp #cobiejones #carsofinstgram #300kclub #littleenginethatcould @honda #hondalove
  • When I started my show, I had a list of about 20 people who I wanted to talk to. I’d pulled this list together over the years and was nervous and excited to start a show. What happened next blew my mind. Having a platform like a podcast also means that you can reach out to people beyond your network and invite them on your show. It also means that after awhile, you will develop relationships with reps and agents and have them pitch authors and musicians and other experts to be on your show. ⠀ ⠀ Last season, I had the amazing fortune of having a set of three people on my show that shifted my whole way of thinking. Fred LeBlanc, Julia Samuel, and Suzann Colon all joined me and as our conversations unfolded, each gave me new insights - around the energy of choosing joy @cowboymouth, the bookends of joy @juliasamuel and grief, and how we all can tap into Santosha, or, the pockets of joy as a spiritual practice in our daily lives @suzannecolon. ⠀ ⠀ The ability to have a platform where you can ask guests your questions, and have a conversation with them about their lives and how they apply their own knowledge and experience is powerful. And, in the process of making very authentic connections with people, you also learn a lot about yourself, and your area of practice.⠀ ⠀ If you’re wanting to launch a podcast this summer, I would love to work with you. Registration for my “Jump Start Your Podcast” is open through Thursday. The class starts June 20 and it is the perfect place for you if you’ve felt the tug to create a podcast. In just 8 weeks, you’ll go from idea to launch - and you’ll have support all along the way.

  • You’re a coach, or healer or blogger with a passion for the work you do. You’re established, and you’ve got a good handle on who you serve and why you serve them. You want to find a fresh and fun way to share your passion, voice, and educate others on the topic of the amazing work you do. You’re kind of, sort of, obsessed with podcasts and just *know* you’d love to have a show, but you’re not sure where to start, how to do it, or what *exactly* your new show is about. But, just like the rest of your biz, you know it’s gonna be good.⠀ ⠀ Join me and some other pretty fabulous folks this Thursday to start working on your podcast. We'll go through all the basics and groundwork, and, you'll have me there coaching, guiding, and cheering as you tackle it all. ⠀ ⠀ Sound like a fit? You can find more at the link in the profile.
