April 21, 2024 09:00 - 14 minutes - 16.4 MBMost days, you have a to-do list that’s brimming with responsibilities and errands, all begging for a checkmark. But here’s a question… Where is your name on that list? Cultivating strength through your own thought leadership is a BIG component of boundary-building. But in order to get there and start to pave your path towards your best living and your most meaningful work, you’ve got to be on your list, too. This week, Karlee explains why, in order to create the boundaries that will...
Up For a Game of Boundary Tic-Tac-Toe?| 9 Indicators that You're Ready To Upgrade Boundary Game
April 14, 2024 09:00 - 16 minutes - 18.5 MBDid you snap at someone you care about recently, and immediately you felt like a terrible person? Does it feel like every time you try to “relax”, your mind can’t help but switch to auto-pilot and process the events of the day? Do you have a time-sucking habit of acting out imaginary conversations in your head? While the outcomes might look a little different for everyone, the symptom is the same. Broken boundaries. It’s time to write yourself a permission slip so you can mend what’s b...
Tired of Being the Hero? | Why vulnerability is the key to giving yourself more grace
April 07, 2024 09:00 - 15 minutes - 17.6 MBIs it time to give yourself a break? For high-achievers, the answer is probably a resounding, “yes”. But when we’re not used to breaking and delegating and resting as a normal practice, sometimes the universe steps in and decides for us. And then we scramble. Whether it’s a worldwide pandemic, a painful divorce, or even a broken foot, the path forward offers opportunities for growth and, most importantly, a chance to demonstrate vulnerability. This week, Karlee shares how an unexpe...
Going Deeper, Not Faster |A Culmination Episode to Bolster Your Wits, Wisdom, and “Enoughness”
March 31, 2024 09:00 - 27 minutes - 31.5 MBThe concept of enough is a loaded one. It’s full of our own high expectations. And then, it’s weighed down further by the expectations of a society that’s built around the rungs of achievement. Do more. Be more. Repeat. But when we take a step back and reflect upon what has been done already, the shift in perspective can be quite sobering. Who decides when you’ve done enough? You do. You decide where the finish line is. And when you get there, you acknowledge it. It’s time to flip the ...
Self-Help Not Helping? | Why doing less gets better results
March 24, 2024 10:00 - 15 minutes - 18 MBWhen it comes to focusing on our mental and physical well-being, the common cure always seems to be to do….something. Buy a book, take a class, get a gym membership, whatever it is, it asks for a time commitment. When time is already stretched to capacity, adding anything else just puts more pressure on us to do it all. So what if instead of adding, we subtracted? This week, Karlee explains why all of those self-help books and gym memberships are collecting dust. The cure to overwhelm...

March 17, 2024 10:00 - 11 minutes - 13.3 MBYou make time for the people in your life. You’re the one they call on, and they know they can depend on you to come through when it matters. And yet…. In your own moments of need, it doesn’t quite feel like you have the same resources to call upon. Not only does being the ‘available one’ put a constant draw upon your time and energy, but it leaves you tapped dry when you’re in need of nourishment yourself. This week, Karlee shares what happens when you give and give to everyone, but y...

Feel Like You're Never Doing Enough? | How to hack the comparison complex and find more joy
March 03, 2024 10:00 - 16 minutes - 18.7 MBWhat is enough, exactly? Who decides when you've achieved it? A mile-long list that needs to get done before you permit yourself to call it a day…sound familiar? Before you can kick off your shoes and relax on the couch or go for a run or get back to that book that’s been near-impossible to put down, your inner voice is laying down the guilt trip.

From Burnout Culture to Rest Culture with Saundra Dalton-Smith
February 05, 2023 10:00 - 58 minutes - 66.6 MBAre those two-week vacations not really doing it for you anymore? Better question…have they ever really done it for you? Packing your bags, catching a plane to some exotic locale, dealing with airport security, shifting into tourist mode for a week, then doing it all again just to come home, how is that considered rest? The truth is that we were born into a burnout culture. And the “two weeks PTO” carrot on the stick ain’t cutting it. Vacations are wonderful, but they aren’t “rest”. The...
My Community Runneth Over | Why “self-care” isn’t only about you with Tanika Ray
January 29, 2023 10:00 - 36 minutes - 42.2 MBWhen you think about self-care, the term itself implies that it’s just about one person...you. But actually, that doesn’t tell the whole story. As we move through our lives, we’re supported by stilts. Like a house on the water, you might not always see them holding you up, but you couldn’t be there without them. Those stilts are the hands of your community. Friends, family, partners, and pets, some are just ships passing in the night, while others remain steadfast throughout our lives. ...
Wrestling with Rest | Why our fear of rest is counter-productive and what works better with Anitza Martins
January 22, 2023 10:00 - 49 minutes - 56.3 MBThink about that friend of yours who’s always busy. If you want to go to lunch or plan anything with this person, you need to do it a month in advance. A spontaneous cup of coffee in the middle of the afternoon? Forgettaboutit. And because this friend maintains such a full schedule, there’s a greater level of value that you attach to their time. Or maybe, this person is you. Squeezing everything you possibly can into that calendar square because when it’s full, you feel…well, what ...
Pockets of Power | How to be a able to say “yes” to joy in your way-too-busy life with Faith Clarke
January 15, 2023 10:00 - 35 minutes - 41.1 MBYour best friend from the neighborhood sends you a text mid-day, asking if you’d like to join them for a walk. The sun is shining, your legs are stiff from sitting at the computer all morning, but… “Too much work to do”. Sad face emoji. Seated at your desk, you push through your body’s desire to go. That tug of war feels frustrating. You want to, but work. You want to, but the kids. You want to, but you’ve already committed to something else you don’t really want to do. It feels li...
Untangling from Busy | Weaving a more graceful version of success with Meredith Brisson
January 08, 2023 10:00 - 40 minutes - 45.9 MBDo you feel overwhelmed? Frustrated? Rested enough? Success takes work. A lot of it. And you’re probably feeling the side effects of it in your body right now. But ask yourself this…are you successful by your own definition, or sometimes, does it feel like someone else’s? With so many converging definitions, how do you make sure you’re staying true to your own inherent values? Or should we back up…Do you know what those values are? This week, Karlee taps into the wisdom and experience of m...

January 01, 2023 10:00 - 36 minutes - 42.3 MBThis season, we’re RECLAIMING REST: why we don’t make it a priority, why we feel guilty about needing it, and most importantly, how to personalize our rest and make it achievable on a micro level. When you’re living in a perpetual state of exhaustion, it’s time to ask yourself how much self-sacrifice you’re engaging in, and whose values you’re living by. All of this busyness and exhaustion is an invitation to replace perfection with purpose. What You’ll Learn in This Episode: W...

December 25, 2022 10:00 - 3 minutes - 4.24 MBDoes the combination of your career success and your “always available” devotion to friends, family, and community often leave you feeling like you’re left with nothing but energetic scraps for yourself? In other words, how rested are you? If you’re feeling like you’ve put yourself and your right to rest on the backburner for too long, then this is your invitation to recalibrate. This week, Karlee launches the 12th season of Messy and Magnificent, and with it, a proven roadmap for rest an...

But what we don’t do for ourselves comes at a cost. If you’re not getting enough sleep or not taking the time to sit down for 20 minutes of nourishment at lunchtime, those deprivations of needs start to add up. Maybe you’re unable to focus at work and that overflow means you have to work late. So, you cancel dinner plans ...

The sun is shining, you’ve got a really rich episode of Messy & Magnificent playing in your ears. You’re in your zone. Until… a fallen branch trips you up while your eyes are focused somewhere else.

Stuck in Machine-Mode? | How embracing the seasons and leaping bravely into change can help you find more joy
March 28, 2022 09:00 - 27 minutes - 24.7 MBAs much as we humans feel productive and adept when we run efficiently, we are not machines. We are nature. And nature has evolved to work most efficiently in cycles. These seasons are synonymous with alternating periods of bloom, of letting go, of rest, and renewal. When we allow ourselves to embrace our seasonal nature, we’re working in allyship with our bodies, allowing us to sustain our personal growth and professional success.

Messy & Magnificent-124- Exhausted? Achy? Out of Steam? | How to learn your body language and listen when it speaks.
March 21, 2022 10:00 - 29 minutes - 27.3 MBHeadaches. Muscle stiffness. The yearning for a good, long massage but feeling like you don’t have the time to get one. These are all messages our bodies send us. They are cries for attention. “Heeey…something’s not aligned in here.” But, we don’t always know the language of our bodies. And while it is our responsibility to learn better ways to interact with our physical selves, it really isn’t our fault that we’re caught in a cycle of self-neglect. Most cultures just don't include we...

When Tradition Lays a Trap | How to gracefully unburden yourself from obligations that don’t make sense anymore with Suzi Banks Baum
March 14, 2022 10:00 - 31 minutes - 29 MBThere’s no shortage of obligations. Things we don’t really want to do but we trudge through anyway. Spending our days in patterns that drain rather than inspire is common. But, what if…. What if you took a moment to pause this time and asked yourself a simple question: Why am I doing this thing I'm doing? The rituals and routines we participate in can be hard to break, but when traditions lay traps for our time and emotional health then it’s time to get intentional again. The feelings w...
Ready to Make Great Decisions? | What your body is trying to tell your next move
March 07, 2022 10:00 - 36 minutes - 33.4 MBWhy is it that we don't listen to our bodies? When you have a headache, you take a pill to relieve the pain so you can go about your day. But what if it keeps coming back? That’s a message. When you experience tension in your neck and shoulders, maybe again, you take a pain reliever and consider booking a massage.

February 28, 2022 10:00 - 7 minutes - 6.72 MBDo you remember what that old acronym K.I.S.S. stands for? Keep It Simple, Sister. When you’re feeling the weight of overwhelm, that’s an invitation to get small and simplify. This week, Karlee revisits a particularly nourishing bite from Karin Witzig Rozell.

Split-Labeling Disorder | How to embrace your one true self with Farryn Weiner
February 14, 2022 10:00 - 9 minutes - 8.91 MBIf you had a label, what would it say? Now, would that label need to be swapped out depending on who you were marketing yourself to? A blue label for work, a yellow one for home, a purple one for your friends? All that labeling gets complicated. So it begs the question… Why do we feel the need to have so many different labels depending on the audience? Why can’t we just wear the one description that fits us most authentically; exposing our vulnerabilities, our strengths, and just…em...

Hot showers, Dark Chocolate and Finding Your Center: A bite-sized lesson in grounded optimism
January 31, 2022 10:00 - 9 minutes - 8.94 MBSometimes, rather than devour that whole bag of chocolates, it’s actually more nourishing to nibble on just one (ok, maybe 2…). If you’re facing a week or month where your plate feels a little too full, but you don’t want to sacrifice what nourishes you, then that single piece of dark chocolate becomes more meaningful. More satisfying. And even more delectable. This month, Karlee’s bringin’ you the dark chocolate one bite at a time; short, sweet, nourishing concepts that you can expand o...

Want to Be “Enough”? Here’s how women get resourced.
January 17, 2022 10:00 - 32 minutes - 29.3 MBKicking off a new year by casting a wider net is common for a lot of folks… but that’s not what we do here. Here, we take our cues from nature. And in the natural world, winter is a time for going deeper. It’s a time for making sure our bodies are nourished, our bellies are full, and our baskets are filled with everything we’ll need for the journey of the year to come. When we start this new cycle by gathering the resources that’ll see us through, then we’re far less likely to feel dep...

January 10, 2022 10:00 - 28 minutes - 26.1 MBHow do you define success? Is it about pleasing your boss, your staff, or your clients? Is it about the numbers reflected in your bank account? Does success mean being available, even though it often wears you out? Now, how many of those reference points for success are really about you, and how many are about other people’s perceptions of you? Real, meaningful success depends on your reference point. Our goals have to be shaped around what we value in and for ourselves, rather than what ...

Ok, but what makes sense for you NOW?: Lessons on thriving in a hustle-driven world.
December 20, 2021 10:00 - 12 minutes - 11.6 MBThe seasonal energy of this month is palpable. It’s in the crisp wintery air, the sparkling trees, and the holiday tunes that seem to start a little earlier every year. For many of us, it’s a season full of family, friends, parties, and the death of any self-control when it comes to sweets. So, because we’re big believers in the natural rhythm of the seasons, we’re taking this final month of the year to culminate. We’re turning inward and reflecting on what we’ve learned this year. In th...
Feelin’ the Boundary-Backlash? How to stop fearing the boundary reactions of others and create the environment you need in order to thrive.
December 13, 2021 10:00 - 14 minutes - 12.9 MBThis time of the year is all about going inward and allowing yourself some pre-holiday social rest. Chilly hints from Northern Hemisphere skies in the form of snow days and icicles are a literal permission slip to stay home, get cozy, and reflect. So, what have we been reflecting on? A whole year of boundary practice: Are we setting enough of them? Are we letting fear get in the way? How can we set more of them? What if my boundaries make people mad? Know this: A boundary is a contract...

December 06, 2021 10:00 - 19 minutes - 17.9 MBWe go through life doing a whole lotta things that we don’t really want to do. Laundry. Homework. “Work”-work. Taxes. Ok, so those things you actually do have to do. But, what about those other things you sort of just fall into doing or being responsible for? For example, was your career path something you thought deeply about, or did you just kind of fall into a job? And do you find meaning in the work you do, or does it leave you feeling like you need to hibernate for a few days as...

And why many women have mixed, often negative, feelings around money (no matter how much is in their bank account)? Sometimes there’s shame, guilt, struggle, or a lack of financial clarity and that messes with our mojo. Here’s the deal: If you’re feeling unclear or lacking power around money, that lack of unclarity or lack of power can seep into other areas of your life, too. In this episode,...

November 15, 2021 10:00 - 1 hour - 66.3 MBWith a busy schedule running your life, finding both the time and space to breathe, create, and take care of yourself might seem…frivolous. Like something you can just think about tomorrow. Or, the next day. Or, the next day. The next time you find yourself in that go-go-go pattern, what would it feel like if you dared to pause, instead of putting it off until tomorrow?
